How to Make a Clear Picture Out of Any Image with These Simple Tips How to make a transparent image? Well, like everything in photography there is a right way and a wrong way to do it. When learning how to make a transparent image, remember the first rule of thumb. Do not use a photo editing software to make your image transparent. That will ruin the effect. How to make a transparent image Translucent background images are those images that you can see clearly through. You see it from the front and you also see what's underneath. Like when someone wears a white shirt with transparent background images. In this image we have a man wearing a white t-shirt. We see his arms and legs clearly and also see the shirt's collar. We can clearly see the white collar and what kind of shirt he's wearing. Now contrast this with the same image but this time with the background removed. Now our man's image is now in black and white and we can't make out any details because all we see is the black background.
So how do you make your image transparent? There are a few ways to achieve this effect. One way is to remove the background image and make your image opaque. You could do this by using black and white photos, or by using one of the numerous image editing software available. When you make your image opaque, this means that when you enlarge the picture, the details are not lost. Another way to make transparent background images is to make the background lighter than the image. This way, you will be able to make the background appear to disappear. To make your image invisible, make it black and white and use a translucent background. Translucent backgrounds make details appear as they really are. How to make a transparent image on a computer has another secret, it is a very slow process. The reason why is because when you make an image transparent, your computer must first make sure that the background is transparent before it can make it transparent. Why is this? Because the background image determines the colors of your image and changing those colors changes the colors of your image. It would take forever to make your image transparent if every time you make an order for an image modification, the order is ignored and then the computer has to make another round of checks. This process is called blitting. A much faster method of making transparent images is to make them white. This can be done by using special software. It's like coloring your document with a very white background. Think of your document with black letter pencils and a pen; now think of it as a printout of a white piece of paper. What you'll end up with is a very white, transparent document. You can do this same thing when you want to make your image transparent. All you need to do is make your document transparent and then make your background white. Your computer will make sure that the order of your images and your background match up. There is a very easy way to make your picture transparent, all you have to do is open up Photoshop, select your picture in the layer palette and then make sure that it's selected, then under the properties of your picture make sure that you flip it around. That's it, your image will now be transparent. If you've never done something like this before you should consider looking into some tutorial. Another way to make transparent picture background images is to use a gradient. To make your image transparent simply use a black (or any color) gradient as your background. This will make your whole image opaque and you can make it opaque or transparent. If you don't want your whole image to be transparent, but you want part of it to be transparent, just make the gradient black instead of the color you want. Black gives you control over where your image is placed on the background. How to make a transparent image is really very simple once you know how. One of the coolest ways to make this happen in Photoshop is to use the ellipse tool to make your image opaque. Then you just use
your gradient tool to make the color you want. Or if you'd prefer you can make your transparency be specific. In the above example you would make your transparency is 75% and you would make a black border around that area. Now how to make a transparent image with Photoshop is really very easy once you learn how. You just have to make sure the colors you use are opaque and make sure they are all distinct from each other and from the background. The only way to make your image transparent in Photoshop is if you have no other options or if you use gradient tools to make your image opaque. Either way, you can make your image transparent if you follow these steps.
