If you set it to Magenta then a slight magenta glow will appear when the text is placed over a white area (or any other colour other then Magenta for that matter). Problem is you might not know what colour you’ll be placing the text on. Photoshop will produce a small blend between the text colour and the intended background colour when creating the GIF. When you ‘Save for Web’->’GIF’->’Transparency on’, set the ‘Matte’ colour to the background colour that the text will sit on. When creating images with transparency for the Web one usually assigns a colour to the Matte. Photoshop always produces a slight blending of colours where 2 colours meet (anti-aliasing). The problem is not with the GIF resolution but rather the edges of the text are not blending with the colour it’s sitting on.
#Set image as background in word document pdf#
We currently have a GIF file, but the resolution seems too low the edges of the letters are ragged, and the raggedness increases even more with a PDF file. This seems like it should be simple to do… thanks for any help anyone can provide! What are we doing wrong? Or do tiffs not support a transparent background? We tried making tiffs in Photoshop (7.0.1, soon to get a new version), but the files came into the Word documents with either a black or white background. Is there another format that will let us make a sharp text image with a transparent background that we can then insert in a Word document? It needs to be a picture form that does not depend on each computer having the same fonts… (We work together with other companies on many of these proposals, and the other company often makes the PDF–we need something that will work with the standard PDF settings since we cannot control the PDFs made out of house.) We are a small company and we are trying to find a way to make a jpg-like file of our company name and address, but with a transparent background so that we can float the name over some color blocks in different types of Microsoft WORD documents that we use (such as different proposal forms).
