Adobe CS5 Magnetic Lasso Question.

[Jesus Jones]

I've worked out how to use this tool, but I don't know how to transfer the saved image to Microsoft Powerpoint.

For example:

If I take an image, a black hat for instance and lasso that from a white background, I can transfer the hat to a new background within CS5. A family photo for instance without its BG. But if i transfer that image to powerpoint, it reappears with its white background.

In powerpoint I have a background template that is cream for instance, but all i want is the hat, and not to be able to see the white BG.

In CS5 I have saved on a transparent BG but it still appears white when pasted to PP.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

I'm just learning PS too , not easy is it !

Are you trying it using jpeg ?
appears only gif and png formats support transparency
so it might work if you save it in png ?
eg

Adobe Photoshop - Transferring images to Microsoft PowerPoint with a Transparent Background

• Select the image in Photoshop using any of the selection tools to isolate the area
• Choose Edit > Copy
• File > New and change the Background Contents to Transparent Background > Click OK
• Choose File > Save As and name the file
• From the Format drop-down, choose PNG > Click Save.
• Click OK to PNG Options

Microsoft PowerPoint

• Open Microsoft PowerPoint
• Select the slide you want to insert your image
• Choose the Insert Tab
• Click the Picture button in the images group
• Select your PNG file > Click open
