I’m working on a rush project using PS CS, XP SP1. It will be offset printed. (CMYK if that matters.)
Someone sent me a photo that originally had a clipping path, but it’s gone now. The background is the gray and white checkerboard, but when I save the photo as TIFF or EPS and import into Quark 5, I have a white background. I need it to be transparent.
1. Is there any way to preserve the transparent background (so it will show up in Quark) other than creating a clipping path? I know how to do clipping paths, but am very pressed for time. (Job came in late Friday and needs to be done by the crack of dawn on Tuesday.)
2. Does InDesign have different capabilities than Quark for placing Photoshop files with transparent backgrounds? I’ve got ID CS (and CS2 will be arriving next week), but am a complete beginner, and I don’t have time for a crash course now. But it would be good know if it handles the transparency issue better than Quark.
TIA,
Marlene
