Try saving the file as a PNG file. JPG files always produce a white b/g
when saved.

A question about an image technique that I've never been able to master but
it seems everybody else has -- dropping out a white background. I've been
assigned with producing a company newsletter formerly done in Word. And
though I do use Word when I have to, I'm 22 years into FrameMaker and --
other than this -- it's usually so damn easy to do these things in Frame.
The original newsletter (in Word) has a colorful banner with lettering
across top of the first page. I can copy the main graphic element (a
stylized color bar with a curved lower edge, similar to the Nike "swoosh")
from the Word file and paste it onto the top of page 1 of the new Frame
file, but I need to delete a white area from the lower portion of that
graphic (easier shown than described; contact me off-list and we can do a
share-screen Zoom thing so I can show you what I mean).
I used Adobe Photoshop CS4 to "apparently" successfully delete that white
portion from that jpg file; the formerly white area of the original image
is now the familiar grey checkerboard. I saved that modified image as a psd
file.
But when I imported the new (psd) image to partly overlay another graphic
element on the first page of the FrameMaker 10 version of the newsletter,
the imported graphic still has that white area which overlays the other
graphic element. Which is what I don't want.
What didn't I do or what am I doing wrong? Whatever was done in Word should
more easily be done in Frame, or so I thought.
Help please?
