I’m using PS CS2, and my colleague who would probably be producing the files is using an older version — CS1, I believe. Also on PC.
Is it possible to create a TIFF with a transparent background? We need to create a set of files that would consist of a couple of lines of 10-point type on a transparent background. These files would be imported into, placed in, or positioned on top of existing ad files in a page layout program. (Currently Quark, but considering moving to InDesign. Sometimes I send native files, sometimes the printer wants PDFs.)
The ad files are in various formats, but most are TIFFs. A few are Illustrator EPS files.
My feeling is that the lines of 10-point text should be created in Illustrator and saved in EPS format, which I know will give me a transparent background.
However, we’ve been asked to provide TIFFs, so I need to know if we can create them with transparent backgrounds that will work in Quark, ID, and/or PDFs.
TIA,
Marlene
