Hey everyone. ok i have extracted the Keyboard-Latin.artwork file and i start to edit the images but i am having an issue. when i edit an image with a transparent background and re save it as a png im getting a white box around the image. i have attached an image for you to see. any ideas would be great.

Using photoshop cs3 to edit images.

Are you removing the background status of the image? Or are you using layers? Maybe one layer is transparent and another is not.

[tshirtbooth]

no i have made no layers and when i open the image back up after saving it in photoshop it is still transparent.

[Eurisko]

Try the "Saving for Web" feature. And it's also an 8Bit, not a 24Bit PNG?

[tshirtbooth]

ok just tried that and it make its all white behind the image.

[Eurisko]

It should look all white in a preview or thumbnail. Or do you mean on the iPhone?

[tshirtbooth]

ya in the phone. b4 there was a bit of transparency between the image and the white box section now its just all white. I kept transparency so i dont get it.

its like they have done something sneaky to the images.

[Eurisko]

Hmm.. Tricky. Yes, the iPhone does something sneaky with PNG's, but it also reads regular PNG's too. Have to look into that one.

In Photoshop does it call your .png image "Layer 0,1" or "Background"? If it's background you need to make a copy to alter. Choose Select All, Copy, New Layer, Paste, then delete the "Background" layer It's a weird thing of PS that I don't understand.

[tshirtbooth]

no it opens as layer 0

[Talynrider]

Sorry thought that might have been the case. Can you send me a copy of the .png file? dcgargoyle26@aol.com and let me see what you are working with? I'd be happy to look at it.

when you save scroll down till you see save for web device. that way you can save as a png with a transparent backgound.

i have tried that in 8 bit 24 bit mac ect nothing works.

scroll down and click "Save For Web & Devices"

then in the preset box click PNG-24

then make sure that the Transparency is checked

then click save and select wherever you want to save the file, you then will a saved png with a transparent background.

this is what I do for all my iphone png's.

i have tried that a few times. i am real good with photoshop and computers and usly i can lick problem like this but this time its a no go. here is another image. i am getting the transparency right otherwise i would not get it in the first image. its like it wants information around the edge but in the original there is none. also if i change the black box to a grey one it gos back to filling in white. i only can get the white box to go away by stroking the out side black.
