Newbie? & gt; make background disappear

Please forgive my not knowing the jargon appropriate - total newbie I am.

I have a simple chart of an animal (clip-art-ish kind of thing). The background is white, so unless I have stick the thing on white paper I get a white background on the top of the overall background color. I suspect the magic wand tool, that's what I want, but beyond that I'm not sure what to do. My help menu is currently MIA. The image is a. GIF file.

Thank you for any consideration,

In Fireworks, your bitmap graphic is located on top of the canvas. The first thing you want to do is make the transparent canvas. Reach
Modify > canvas > canvas color...
and select Transparent

Now, you can start by selecting the background pixels of your image with the magic wand tool and then delete (just press the delete key). When you do, you should see a gray and white checkerboard begin to show themselves. It's your transparent canvas. Wherever you see this, your image is transparent. (It's hard to see, you can always set your canvas of a contrasting color, like rose, temporarily. Modify > canvas > canvas color, select the color bonded square, then something... different. Make sure you change transparent for the next step, however.)

When you save the image, you save a fireworks .png file, which contains information owners. To use the image on a Web page, you want to export. Reach
File > preview image
To export a transparent .gif file, select. GIF from the Format drop-down list. Below the colors, select "Transparency Alpha" and then you can export.

The interpolation functions, but the rest is invisible, everything becomes white. What happens in the hek I am doing wrong?

    No, they have not. Now I think I understand how it works with multiple images and interpolations. You must set a keyframe for each image or the background to make it appear, etc for the timeline is complete. Thank you!

  • Removing duplicates, I usually have to remove the song duplicate twice to make it disappear. Why?

    When you remove duplicate songs, I usually have to remove the song duplicate twice to make it disappear. Why?

    When I delete the duplicate song it pops up again. When I erase it a second time he remains missing.   After the first removal, he reappeared with a little cloud in an arrow down. Once I have remove that she remains missing.

    Is it possible that I can delete a song in one operation?

    iTunes 12.3.3 on Mac Pro Tower

    Looks like you have an iCloud music library, Subscribe to Match iTunes Apple music (or both).  The first time, you probably delete the local copy of the song file (stored on the storage of your computer).  But the song still in your iCloud library, so it appears in your list of music library with the cloud with the arrow symbol (which you can click to download it again).  You can still play the song streaming from iCloud.  The second time, you delete the song completely within your music to iCloud library.

    You can see the distinction if you right click on a song (which is stored locally) in iTunes.  On the shortcut menu that appears, there are two separate, Remove Download and deletecommands.  Remove Download removes the local copy of the song file, but keeps the song in your music to iCloud libraryDelete deletes the song completely, with a single action.

  • In Dreamweaver CC: A large blank space appeared between a high table on the page and the other underneath.  I don't see anything in the code to cause this or allow me to make them disappear. Suggestions?

    In Dreamweaver CM³, a big empty space appeared during high page table and a coffee table on the page.  I don't see anything in the code because of this, so I'm unable to make disappear.  Any suggestions?  It has something to do with these cursed crates thatr Miss on the side of the page?  If so, how can I make them disappear.  I wouldn't mind going back to Netscape or Mozilla, formatting, if there is still to do.

  • Change a saved selection makes it disappear

    When a saved selection of loading and try to change it with the Quick Selection tool, the entire selection disappears. This does not happen if the change is made via the selection Rectangle tools. What I am doing wrong? Thank you for your help.

    Hi Rohit,

    I just realized what was going on. If you load a selection of other than the background layer and the background is not turned on (visible), and then tries to change the selection disappears only when you use the Quick Selection tool. As soon as I turned on the background layer, then the selection remains even when editing with the Quick Selection tool. Sorry for the newbie but question it drove me crazy.

    I don't know if it's a bug because it does not have the same way with various editing tools...

    Thank you for your quick response!

  • How to make objects disappear and reappear?

    I was watching a YouTube video on how to make an explosion. However, the video is not very useful as the guy does not explain everything. I'm not a complete Newbie, but I still need help on simple stuf sometimes. The part that I'm stuck is when it's a "patch" of the texture in the driveway, and then it covers its explosive box. After that, he copy the box and is able to appear and disappear.

    Part of the video, I do not understand is 1 minute, 22 seconds.

    Here's the video link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qL1KkAfwflk


    Watch closely. He made a mask just below the box so that now he's just a layer which is just down the road. Then it will move this layer so that it covers the box.

    This isn't a very good tutorial on how to achieve this effect. There are a lot of better ways to do what he is doing.

  • Whenever I come home from a loop point, menu background disappears

    I tried all kinds of combinations of keys menu duration/hold forever/animate with lengths of different times... but no matter what, if I go home once for loop Point, the background of my menu disappears.

    I got it working again by removing the menu and redo everything, but now it does not work. Help, please! What I'm trying to do is have a menu each chapter showing a preview of the video lasts about 5 seconds. I use one of the menus standards provided by still.

    Does anyone know how to make it work properly?

    I use Encore CS4

    No there is no way to define how long of a video preview rollovers play?

    Yes.  Do you with duration of the Motion tab control.  When the menu of the loops at the end of the duration, the video thumbnail buttons start from either the beginning of the chapter to which they are linked, or the point in the timeline where the poster of their related chapter frame is defined.

  • Satellite M50 - how to make scratches disappear from the silver surface

    Hey

    so the other week I bought a Toshiba Satellite M50 and I love her!
    I'm looking to snap the case for weeks because I know myself and I was sure that I would eventually ruin the outer shell, but I can't find anywhere.

    So last night I walk to the top of the stairs and my mother screaming something that makes me jump and I was wearing my phone with the charger on top and to prevent it from falling I really crack down fort and one of the pins on the top of the silver surface striped card.
    I'm so gutted!

    So my question is that no one knows what either which can make the scratch disappear or at least fade?

    I was thinking solvent, but don't want to try anything where it makes it worse.
    know that it's kind of a stupid question, but it's really important to me!
    Thank you!

    P.S. I realized that my key U is really steep... any ideas on how I can get this back to normal?

    In my opinion there is not an effective method that you can use to remove or fade those stripes.
    The surface is damaged and, unfortunately, it will still be visible.

    I also think that you should not use dissolving because of the possible chemicals that can damage the surface even more.

    Is it deep enough or just scratches superficially?

    I am downloading some videos of Window Movie Maker. All the videos have very strong background noise. But when I play videos in real player, the videos play fine without background noise. My husband has used iMovie to edit these videos and has either no problem of background noise.

    Why would there be background noise on Windows Movie Maker only? I really wish I could use Movie Maker to edit movies, since I'm used to the program.

  • How to make background changes color?

    Hey, I was watching recently a youtube video and a guy had a background resembling 5 or 6 lines wavy horizontal form, and he changed the color! He looked pretty impressive, but when I saw him, I was not really interested in this context again and the irony is that he has even posted a LINK to how to get the background that there, in the youtube description! And now that I became interested to customize my laptop more, I searched through my history in google chrome and I can't! So now what I ask people is, how to make a background that changes color? If you guys don't understand properly, then try patient and better explain, saying what im is basically "imagine that you have just a few plains wavy lines in front of you, imagine that they are blue, then imagine they turn suddenly red, then green, etc." That's basically what I mean...

  • Make background Transparent on AIR Flash CS5 for BlackBerry Tablet Simulator Application

    Hello

    I tried to find a way make the background Transparent on the Flash CS5 for BlackBerry Tablet Simulator AIR Application and I think it has to do with my *-app.xml file.  I saw another forum mention adding the tag and the parameter 'true '.  I put it inside my tags and my .bar file would not always compile using the command line package.  As soon as I remove the label of , I can compile the .bar file and view it in the simulator of the tablet.  Does anyone have advice?

    You must assign the value true in the file of your blackberry - tablet.xml, no not your - app.xml file.
