I have been trying to change the background color of the photographs of jewelry I took. It is too grey, and I want to change it to white. Each time I try to do this, it changes the whole picture to white instead of just the background. How I can keep the foreground without losing it, and change the background color.
I have a scanned image which is black text on white paper. The paper comes out darker in some section because of scan. Is there a simple way I can make the off-white background white?
How I choose a color for any new objects I want to create. I've opened the toolbox with ctrl-b, which appears on the left side of the window. If I want to , for example, draw a red rectangle, I use the rectangular selection tool, then the bucket fill, and I don't see how to change the foreground color to red.
I've read elsewhere in the forum that there should be two rectangles somewhere on the screen that show foreground and background color, but I don't see them anywhere.
i am trying to make a blueprint out of 3 view image to be exported to 3ds max for modelling using Gimp 2.8.2.
I want the backgound colour to be a light shade of blue and the foreground colour (the black outlines of the aircraft) to be a dark shade of blue
I have separated each of the views into separate layers, then tried to add 2 new layers (one for the foreground and one for the background) but cannot seem to get the "set foreground/background" function to work. It just goes a shade of black all of the time irrespective of what colour i choose.
A pop up message says Could not complete your request due to a program error. I am using the paintbrush tool, 150 soft round brush size. It will not allow me to change foreground and background colors or paint. What can I do?
I'd like to change the default foreground/background colours, so that when I click on the toolbar's Default Colour Icon (or press D), I get something other than black and white. Alternatively, I'd like to be able to save a color and call it up as the foreground (or background) colour with a key-stroke.
Every time I've tried to change the foreground or background colors in PSCS6 it says "Could not complete your request because of a program error" What can I do?
I have some logos which all have a white background. I want to remove this white background to leave it transparent. So far I've managed to remove it but it hasn't been very clean as I've had to do it with brushes and lassos and havent had the effect I want.
I want a clean edge but these all leave grey pixels that blended from the black edge into the white background or just remove the black completely.
I'm looking for a reasonably quick way to do this, as I have 16 logos to get through and not too long to do it in.
I have a picture of a toy, I want to lift the toy off the background and leave only white space around it.
Here's what I've accomplished so far:
Created new layer Used the rounded rectangle to isolate the toy inverted the image used the magic wand to crop areas that had to go cropped as close to the toy as possible.Now I have the image but it's on this ugly, bits and pieces left over square.
What I'd like to know is: will making the background transparent fix it?
I'm still playing with it and saw a tutorial on transparency, but each time I attempt to do it - the entire image disappears.
Somehow or other, my PS (v7.0, Win) has got itself confused when it comes to sampling a colour. Using the eye-dropper, one click samples the colour to the background swatch while Alt+ click samples the colour to the foreground - the reverse of the norm. This is not such a problem in itself, but when I'm using the sampler as part of a painting tool it becomes a hassle. I hit Alt and sample, but it goes to the background swatch: I have to keep hitting X to swap the colours over so I can paint in the new colour.
When using the erasure or erasure background tools, it leaves a checkered background. How can I get the erasure tool to leave a white or color backround?
How I can get a gradient something like the attached e.g. which gradient picker (I don't think it is foreground to background) and which gradient (I don't think it is linear).
When I open a new file and set up some stuff and what-not, I go to set up my background and foreground colors and whenever I pick a darker color like 'Maroon' It goes to black. A middle color like baby blue goes to gray and a light color like lime green goes to white.
Here is my problem. My foreground to background gradient too is broken it seems. It starts with black, then fades into a gold or bronze color and then to white... I'm attaching a screenshot so you can see what I mean. I'd like to reset whatever I did so that it's the normal gradient, not that gold color in there
I tried even uninstalling photoshop, deleting the settings file, resetting everything... after I re-install photoshop, it's the same thing!
When making a webpage and then using Filters > Web > Slice, is there any easy way to leave space for adsense code or any code at all for that matter. I have tried opening the generated HTML file in Kompozer, but every time I try to add code to the cells, it messes up the entire page's layout.
I am a Photographer and use cs 6 for a long time.I use layers with masks to use background foreground.Normally when i use this, the brush uses 100% too get the back/foreground, but now its not 100% anymore and i get a transparency of the layer (brusch stands on 100%)
Can anyone teach/help me to remove the foreground. But once i remove the foreground then i have to see the background.
for example see the attached picture.I want to remove the man who is in sitting.once i remove i have to see the clounds. Please teach me this in step by step as im new to photoshop cs2 v 9.0
I am trying to insert a photoshop TIFF into a Quark document without background data so that I may overlap images. The photoshop TIFF I manipulated and saved is simply an image with the grey and white checkered background. There is only one layer. I assumed that this meant that it would import into the Quark doc without any background color but there is still a white background.
I am running CS4 64 bit and since installing it, when you select a color either from an image or the swatches pallet using the eyedropper the selected colour automatically defaults to the background. It does the same when you are using the brush tool and alt click to select a new color when painting. I have checked Adobe help and it says you should alt/click to put the colour in the background, if I alt click with the eyedropper it places the new colour in the foreground, which is the opposite of what it is meant to be.
I have a hot o someone speaking lines that wasn't shot on a tripod, in front of a green screen. The background is a still picture. I'm trying to get the background to shift whenever the actor does so h matches his environment. The tracker seems to be having trouble because other than the subject, there is nothing in the shot for the trackers to reference. It seems to be tracking him fine but when I apply the tracking data to the background, it flies around wildly when the subject moves his head. I've tried using the older tracker, just using position and scale, and I've tried using the 3D tracker. I feel like this should be fairly simple. Any other information needed I will gladly supply.
I took a picture with diffused morning sunlight coming through the trees, casting rays of sun and shadows on the other trees and ground however, behind the trees you can see a large house. I have tried things to remove / cover-up the house, however, it destroys the sun rays and shadows, is the someway to remove the house without destroying the suns effect?
I am using Quickmask a lot, and I find a few of the user interface issues in it befuddling.
1) Sometimes when I change to quickmask mode (Q key), the foreground and background colors reverse. Sometimes they don't. Right now they do on one computer but don't on the other. I have never been able to figure out why this is, or what I can do to change it. (FWIW, I find the reversing of colors to be most confusing, and I like it when they don't change).
2) When I go into Quickmask mode and then out, my selected layer changes. If I have a layer mask selected, then hitting the Q key twice will change the selection from the layer mask to the layer pixels. I can't tell you how many times this has led me to edit the pixels rather than the mask. Is there some way to turn this off, so that the layer mask stays selected? (If not, I'll post this as a feature request).
3) I tend to work in full-screen mode. Is there some easily-recognized cue to whether I am in quickmask mode or not other than the hard-to-see "pressed" state of the quickmask button? I am continually getting confused as sometimes when I am working quickly, it seems like the Q doesn't register, so I hit it twice, and then I spend a few seconds trying to figure out which mode I am in. I like the text in the window frame which gives me instant feedback of my status, but I like the extra pixels of fullscreen mode. Is there another option that gives me full screen but easily-seen feedback on my editing mode?
I have an image that requires the foreground to be lighter than the sky in the background that I want to enhance. What is the best way to accomplish this in Elements 11?
