I recently bought this adobe stock images because I need to import a spray effect into one of my images. I thought this would be a transparent background but when I open it in Photoshop there is still the dark grey squared background. I can't isolate the spray effect from it.

Any way of doing this without having to have Illustrator?

Correct answer Brad Lawryk

You need to open it in Illustrator and turn off the background layer.

I am having the same issue. Lisenced: #177726668

And it has no layers when opened in illustrator, I specificlly chose this because it said transparent background. Please help!

I am having a similar issue with 215542955. When I hide the background layer, I get a black background that is still showing when I place the file in InDesign.

You will absolutely need to use Illustrator for this asset. If you have, please describe your problem and we may help. If you do not have Illustrator, it will probably be impossible to use this asset at its best.

I’m having really trouble removing the chequered effect of transparent stock images. I’m trying to add some glitter over a photo of mine in a photoshop. Please help!

Open the image in Illustrator and hide the background layer as described above.

I'm having the same problem with all of the above. 177877607

The transparent background function used to work automatically-this is taking way too much time.

I tried turning off the layers as mentioned previously.

When I turn off all of the backgrounds, it looks like this:

I only want the white parts from this:

I am having trouble too. I need icons on a transparent background to place on a coloured background. I bought a card of related icons, but when I cut the icon I wanted away from the others (using PS cc) and placed it on my design (I am using InDesign), it is still on it's white background. I need it transparent so it doesn't show the white behind. I tried searching on 'transparent icons' in Stock, but what came up were not designs I wanted. Can anyone suggest how to get icons that have a transparent background? This is crazy, there must be a way. Thanks in advance

Hey, I'm having a similar problem with vector image I purchased from Fotolia. The picture is "Snow Blizzard Effect on Transparent Background Vector Illustration. Abstract bright white shimmer glowing scatter falli… on older version of AI (CS6)I saw layers:

On the newer version it looks like this:

How can I make the image really transparent?

In addition to your question, you could look for a similar .jpg image that has a solid black background and then when you place it into photoshop use the 'Blend If' sliders on the mist layer and adjust it slightly from the black slider and all the black will disappear leaving you with the mist. You even have more control using the sliders to achieve more or less mist.

Hi Nicole,

I understand your concern but as Brad mentioned you need to open the image in Illustrator.

Therefore, I have added an image credit to your account so you can license a different image instead.

Apologize for the trouble.

Please feel free to update this thread in case of any additional query.

Regards,

Twarita

I'm having the same difficulties. I know Ps & Ai well and am a professional. The layers on multiple images do not expand in their native programs or other programs. There is no information to expand. I can't find solutions on here. It feels like it wasn't save with true layers. How do I over come this or get credit back for unusable images? Thanks

Hi, Twarita! Please tell me I've simply overlooked something! #134489291 #119326624 #189620105

One step forward- I was able to isolate the image from the background by double clicking on the stock item in the Library and having it open in its native program. But maneuvering the isolated image breaks some of the fill treatments, specifically in #134489291. The transparent background is somehow hiding the shading layers (maybe a quirk from the version it was developed in?) So the task I'm trying to accomplish but failing at is to place something photographic behind the bubble yet none of the various routes I've taken have yeilded this outcome without sacrificing rendering of this bubble.
