First,

THank you Rich Gannon for introducing this Action - I love the look more than the tiled background.

I am having 2 issues with this.

any input on fixing these will be awesome.

  1. on safari - the picture is slow to load.
  2. on firefox - I am not getting a picture at all - just a white background

Not sure if this has anything to do with it, but it looks like your background image is a Photoshop file. Assuming this camfade1.psd is it.

You can place PSD files, but not upload them for the web. This is apparently in your Resources folder which should only contain web ready files.

Not sure if that action requires one over the other, but whatever looks the best at the smallest size possible.

There’s not a lot of detail, being faded, so you might get away with a pretty small file with either format.

You just have to test a few.

Take the original logo file (AI or PSD, I guess?) and contract the edges.

In Photoshop, I would select everything, contract by 1 or 2 pixels an delete. This way you’ll get a clean no-white border.

Here’s the steps I’d take:

Select the background (because it’s easier) then go to Select > Modify > Expand. Make the 1 or 2 pixel adjustment. Then look at you image to see if that’s enough to get rid of the border.

If it is, hit delete. Save for Web.

the background of the logo is clear so the actually background will show through

That’s OK. It should still select it.

If you still have a problem send the original file to me.
