Hey guys, I have a logo that have the corner cut on top of it. making white show throw when i place it anywhere in a document. In photoshop I have saved this as a gif with transparency and brought it into quark but i don't get the transparent area. anyone have any tips on transparent images in quark?

Its been a while sincve I used quark. But I think for an image to show transparency in quark you need to save the image as an .eps with a clipping path. Either that or reproduce it in Illustrator (if possible) and bring it into quark that way.

clipping paths.
select the area you want to keep in photoshop and go to paths.
then:
make work path> save path>clipping path>(then hit the scroll down bit to see path1) then save whole document as EPS.
that should do yer.

Quark doesnt handle transparent gifs. you have to create the gif transparancy in photoshop with the pen tool. then open the paths palette and name the path "cut out" or something, then save the image as an eps

You guys are right on about the clipping path (btw use the "clipping menu once you get it into quark), but you shouldn't have to save as an eps. pict/tiff/jpeg/etc. will do as long as the path information is there.

i'm so on it...i'm gonna use clipping! thanks guys...

Make a bitmap, then you can save it as TIFF, then everything what is white will be transparant. You can also change colour within Quark (Amazing...!)
Clipping path is a better option but sometimes not .ok. to make (depends how much work it is)

If you are sending this off to press, you shouldn't use bitmapped tifs.
The color you change the tif to, will not trap correctly to the color behind it.
Use clipping paths for stuff that going to press. But, you can use the transparent bitmapped tif for crappy-jagged-ink-jet-printing.
