Have I done something wrong in PhotoShop?

    Hi. I'm using an old version of PhotoShop (7.0) and I'm trying to get a transparent background on an image. I think I've done everything correctly, as I have the image surrounded by the checkerboard. But when I place it into InDesign, it shows a white background.

    Have I done something wrong in PhotoShop or is there an issue with InDesign?

    Create a new layer and then place that layer BELOW your content. Then save.

    Also note that only PSD, JPG and PNG formats preserve transparency.

    Save image as EPS file, that's the file you need.

    Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 now fully supports Retina MacBook Pro: both HiDPI and GPU comp


    Adobe's video editing application is already a lovely thing on the Retina MacBook Pro, but not visually -- only in terms of its raw performance on that Core i7 CPU. Until today's update -- 6.0.2 -- the software hasn't actually been able to make use of HiDPI itself, and neither has it been able to exploit the performance-boosting potential of GPU compute on the laptop's NVIDIA GTX 650M graphics card.
