I am using Photoshop 7.0 and am taking product photos to be used in a document made in Pagemaker. I drop out the background and the photo resides on a trasparent background. I save it as a TIFF file and when I place it in the new document on a colored surface, a white background appears? I want the background of the picture to take the color of the pagemaker document. Any help would be awesome!!

TIA

Kyle,

When you save as Tiff, are you saving layers and transparency from the Save As dialog?

Does Pagemaker support transparency, or does he need to make a clipping path?

What is a clipping path??

A clipping path is simply a path you draw around the objects you want visible. When you save the file with the path, everything else is clipped out.

Check the manual or the help for details on how to do it. If you’ve got a lot of this, you might want to consider InDesign instead of Pagemaker for the document. It supports transparency in TIFF and PSD files.
