The other day I was having a design problem so I posted a message titled
Why does my logo lose its transparent background when I copy it from PowerPoint into Photoshop? in the
Adobe Windows Photoshop Forum. In particular, I had a
Microsoft PowerPoint presentation that contained a client's logo and I needed to capture that logo so I could use it in
Moodle. Initially, I copied the logo and pasted it into
Adobe Photoshop CS4. However, the logo had a transparent background in PowerPoint which it seemed to lose once it was in Photoshop. I tried copying and pasting the logo several times but on each occasion I ended up with a logo that had a white background. Anyhow, I decided to post a message in the Adobe Windows Photoshop Forum. Suffice to say, less than 24 hours later I had received two responses. In one response the author suggested I capture the logo from PowerPoint in a different way. Instead of selecting the logo then clicking
Copy it was suggested that I simply right-click on the logo and click
Save as Picture. So I gave it a go and used
Save as Picture to save the logo in PNG format before opening it up in Photoshop. Suffice to say, my logo now has a transparent background rather than a white one. Thanks
Mike.
