Hi all. I am on PS 6. I am wondering how do I make my white backround transparent? Basically when I insert my tiffs, I need to be able to transparent the white, so it doesn’t show up when I print.
Put your images on their own layers. Remove the white background layer.
IIt is not clear exactly what you are trying to accomplish, though. How are you printing the image? Are you placing the image in a different program, such as a page-layout program?
That’s what I was wondering.
If you’re dealing with a rectangular image like a photo and want to get rid of the white border, just crop it.
If you’re dealing with an image shape that is other than rectangular, then the previous answers should work; saving as PSD (would EPS or PDF work?), if you are importing the image into Illustrator, or maybe InDesign. I’d still crop out any excess image area though. If you’re importing into Quark (atleast an older version like 4.11, don’t know aobout higher) you should create a clipping path and save it as EPS.
