When I import a logo by dragging or using command-D into InDesign from Photoshop, it comes in with a white background, as opposed to being silhouetted. How do I bring an object into InDesign as a silhouette?
PSDs should give you no problem if Placed in Indy once the white background has been removed. So check if the original image in Photoshop is having a transparent background.
JPEGS are flattened and the havea white background which must appear in Inddy once placed. But you can remove this background within Inddy(but not perfectly)...
Object Menu>Clipping Path>Detect edges(from Type Option)
HI, thanks for your reply! I have done this before a long time ago - someone told me a trick to doing it without having to do any of the things mentioned above - for ex. when I get a logo from a client I just use their logo (usually a jpg or eps) and don't have to take the hours to outline it or drop out the bkgr if it came to me with a transparent bkgr which they always have) - it was just a couple of keystrokes to do it and now I can't remember how!
Now if I try to import the same exact logo which came in perfectly before when I hit those keystrokes in Indy, it comes in with a white bkgr.
If you know what I am getting at, I'd be grateful to know.
Thanks.
