I am trying to place an image onto an InDesign page. This is an adobe stock image specifically labelled as "with transparent background'. Specifically it is a tree. When I place onto the page, a checkered background still appears... How do I get rid of this??? Thank in advance- I am obviously a beginner with the creative suite.

HI CAHolstein:

In my experience, licensing the image removes the white background when the file indicates it has transparency.

I'm confused by the checkered background reference though. Are you looking at the image in Photoshop? Photoshop use a checkerboard to indicate transparency.

I wonder if the FPO image has a checkered background added to the image to indicate to the user that a licensed image is transparent.

Could be. It would be helpful to get the image number so that we can take a look at the specific artwork. I haven't run across any images with a checkerboard to indicate transparency—they just have a white background—but I've only worked with a tiny fraction of the images.

Did you license the image or are you using the FPO version? Can you post a link?
