Can anzbody out there help me with saving a PS file so it is transparent when I bring it into Quark. I know the waz is to create a path, but it’s not working for me.
any help will be appreciated since I’m working on a project as we speak.
Thanks for bringing this up, Todie. I hope to learn from any subsequent exchange here what exactly qualifies as transparency and what doesn’t. I admit I’ve been a little baffled by some of the references about QuarkXP not supporting transparency. I can see that it does not retain the transparency of an imported, inserted or placed image from another application, But, as you point out, there are transparent text boxes and such.
Photoshop’s EPS doesn’t have transparency but it can have a clipping path. Quark honors the clipping path bounds as opaque and can leave the outside transparent.
…. and as John said, the "white" in bitmap TIFFs is transparent for Quark.
So,.. Zoya, designate your path as "clipping" (leave the flatness alone) and save as EPS. If you need fading shadows or vignettes, it may be easier done than explained… Can you post a picture?
