    If I have a picture of a person, and I delete the background in photoshop, when its saved as a jpg and imported into quark it ends up with a white background... does anyone know how to cut it? I know its something to do with paths, and work paths, but I can't figure out the process of how to do it.

    thanks,

    flogen

    You'll need to make a Clipping Path.

    Select around the object you want to clip. Go Windows > Clipping Palatte (I think). Make clipping path or save clipping path.

    Then you save it as an EPS.

    When you import it, BAM.

    Thanks for that, seems to have done the trick okay!

    (I can't view my EPS's though, and when I import them they're black and white and crappy looking... is there some software I need here?!... the background thing is working though!)

    They're obviously crappy looking because Quark turns the resolution down to save memory.

    Don't know why they're black and white, but maybe you should check the EPS settings.

    to avoid the black and white problem:
    Open the file in photoshop, go Save as, save it as an eps again, but this time when it asks you for the eps options, choose 8-bit pixel preview.
