save images with transparent background

I cut an image in pscs6 and recorded on a transparent background and saved on my Finder in format giff. The image went to the ps, but opening my Finder it was slightly desaturated. I do not have the need to save transparent images that often so I'm not familiar with the technique. My client is looking for a 3 to 6 MB image for use in print. Cheers, bj

For printing, do not use the gif files. They are an obsolete format that supports a limited number of colors (255) + 1 color used for transparency.

PNG uses 256 colors red + 256 blue + green + 256 256 shades of gray for transparency.

As you can see png has many more colors and shades of transparency, which means a much smoother and softer image shadow brought to get an example of transparency.

Better yet is to save it as a tiff or psd, allowing a larger number of colors if necessary and support layers, layers alpha, transparency, the living text, paths, etc.

If it is set on a printer, then pdf may be the best solution.

In other words, you have many choices and the reasons not to use gif.

  • Photoshop Image with transparent background - export gives me a white background?

    Hello

    OK, the hours of my life have already evolved in this one - I guess that's computers!  I have a few images in Photoshop which already have transparent backgrounds, but when I try and drag the latter in a different program, they move across with a white box as their background.  I tried to save as TIF, GIFF... - of all kinds, so clearly I'm missing a pretty basic step that I can't see.

    Any help would be SO appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Doreen.

    Save as a PSD or PNG, depending on whether you final output will be printed or web. Then use the Place rather than drag the image on.

  • Unwanted white halo in the Gif format with transparent background

    Hello

    I'm a Photoshop user for years. Before, I could do glitter GIFs with a transparent background without White halo around the edge of the image. But unfortunately, in a few months, a white edge appeared on each gif with transparent background around. For months, I have tried many methods to solve this problem, but didn't succeed. My GIFs are unusable. How can I make GIFs without white edge? Thank you for your quick response.

    I send you a sample of each.

    Thanks in advance!

    Configuration:

    PC with Win 10

    Photoshop CC

  • Can't get picture with transparent background to appear like this

    I am quite new to PES (using version 6) so thank you in advance for any help you can offer!

    I have a picture and made the background transparent and saved as a GIF file.  The opening, he shows up with the grid background.  Good so far.

    When I drag this photo of the tray inside project (where I still see the bottom of checkerd) in the picture, I am trying, it comes with a solid gray background once fallen into this image.  So essentially, the background is more transparent.

    How can I add this picture with transparent background to the image, I'm working on without a background / frame appear?  I have combed internet and cannot find an answer and searching this forum, still coming up empty.  I think the problem has to do with dragging it from the location of the project.  If not, how can I get in the picture, that I'm getting?

    Thank you!

    Kevin

    In PES 6, dragging it to the top of the location of project creates a sort of layer of passthrough. Copy and paste, or drag it to the bottom of the image window the gif in the other file in the location of the project instead.

  • Cannot save with transparent background

    Hello. I use a very old version, Illustrator 10. I'm only to learn how to use the program and I can not save an image with a transparent background. I tried to use 'Save for Web' and check the 'Transparency' (.gif and .png). The gray and white checkerboard displayed, as if the background is transparent. However, when I opened the image, he had a white background. It wasn't the complete work plan, just the bounding box. Am I missing something?

    Without actually seeing your picture, it's just conjecture (real, not just the dummy). Makes no sense and is no fun.

    Vector images is not normally a background. So why not save any vector format Quark will accept? A PDF, for example.

  • Trace an image with transparency - bug?

    Try the following: import a PNG or PSD, which consists of WHITE color on a layer line drawings (background is transparent).

    Now run autotrace (fact I just date myself?) Trace the image. Now develop. Look at your document in outline view (off preview mode). Everything you did was a solid white box. Try tracking with "ignore white" lit. Now you get nothing at all.

    It's sort of lame. If I have a line on a transparent background drawings, what could be better for the follow-up?

    Solution: in Photoshop, flatten the white work on a solid black background, reverse and then save it as a TIF with layers off the coast.

    So, Adobe, it's a feature? A bug? It will look?

    What you must have is to select the image in Illustrator and go to Edition > change color > invert the colors and then perform your trace or Trace of Image works like a charm
