But FM will place a .psd... A clipping mask will create a smooth, but hard edge.
Is anyone having problems with .psd's containing layer masks or vector masks (resulting in a soft edge)or other layer transparency? -Matt Matt Sullivan GRAFIX Training [email protected] www.roundpeg.com Office 714 960-6840 Cell & text 714 585-2335 SMS message [email protected] skype: mattatroundpeg LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/grafixtraining facebook| plaxo Click to tell me the social media sites you belong to -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mike Wickham Sent: Tuesday, June 02, 2009 12:09 PM To: Frame Users Subject: Re: transparent background graphics > It's not very difficult to get images with transparent background in > FrameMaker.

Just an addition to Winfried's fine message. It's not just a mask you want to create, it's a clipping mask. Search Photoshop help for "clipping mask" for more information. You may also want to search for "clipping path." Mike Wickham _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to Framers as [email protected].
