View 14 RepliesWhy I'm getting a grey Flare when I open it with a black background, but it's in color when I open it in a white background?
I know that flare works better with a black background, but for any reason it looks grey and it's hard to create effects.
can I alter the BACKGROUND COLOUR from the Grey to a lighter grey as in P/Shop Album 2.00 which is just what I want..I hate the darker colour as background..I have just purchased the Elements 11.

I'm trying to use a smoke brush in Illustrator CS5 and colour it blue. However, when I place a black square at the back of the image as a background, the brush appears to have a grey outer edge. I have tried other brushes as well and some produce the same results.
I am wondering if this may be a setting that I'm unaware of or something else.
I am designing a calendar. When designing the background is a solid black, but when I export or save as PNG it appears on the screen as dark grey. I'm self taught and don't know if it will print out grey or black.

I am trying to make business cards in Adobe Illustrator using the Pantone Color System. In my logo, the middle circle is a dark grey: C20 Y20 M20 K80. I can't find a suitable Pantone grey that is this dark. Pantone 425U is too light. Also, which Pantone Black is the darkest?

Now in CS6 a group remains grouped in isolation mode, so to edit individual objects the group needs to be manually ungrouped while in isolation mode, then you have to remember to group them again before exiting isolation. This is a very un-useful new development. CS6, Windows 7 x64.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI just installed CS4 and I now find that I canonly see a single image at a time, as there always seems otbe a big gey background surrounding the current image. A right click allows me to chnage the useless background color, but not get rid of it. I can't drag from the corner to reduce the size. How do I make it so I can work with and see more than one image at a time?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm new to illustrator and having trouble with changing the background color of the working board. I'd like to see how my very simple shapes look under dark conditions (black background).
So, while I was able to change the color of the background, my shapes, along with their fill colors, just disappeared. They're there, "behind" the background and I can't / don't know how to bring them to the front.
How can I accomplish such a simple task ?
In FH I could have an auto expanding text box whose attributes included say: black text on a white ground which would expand as one types, for the life of me I can not seem to achieve this seemingly simple procedure in Illustrator.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWindows, PS CS4. I'm trying to erase part of an image such that there is nothing there. However, when I erase the part of the background layer (I have no layers below it, and none above occupying the same space), I do not see the chequered transparency pattern, but dark grey. This grey also remains part of the image as if it were a colour rather than being transparent. To be specific, it is the white between the borders of a comic I am trying to erase..

How can I hide / delete this ?
I have a large (22"x28") poster completely filled with 8 pt text. I have a simple image under the text. I want to change the parts of the text over the image to the image color. Basically, I want to make the image out of the tiny text and delete the image from the background. As of right now, I'm individually selecting text and changing the color, bit by bit. I know there has to be a much better way, this is going to take hours! I've been using AI for a very long time and this is one of the only times I've been completely stumped! I've included a sample image, the actual one is much more involved.

View 6 Replies View RelatedSo when you're zoomed out, you can see a grey background around your canvas. But when you're zoomed close enough, so that your canvas is bigger that your screen, you can't see that grey background, since the canvas become the borderline of your working space.
But is there a way to make that grey background visible even if i'm zoomed in?
Example: I'm drawing grass and I would like that my brush strokes begins outside of the box, while being zoomed in.
I've been taking 2000 head shots on a white background. While I was shooting I saw a grey area in the upper left corner showing up. At the moment of the shooting I didn't have the occasion to change lighting.
Removing this one by one works perfectly using the dodge tool and removing just the highlights. Is there a way to do this in a batch? (since the heads are all very centered in the frame and the grey area is always in the upper left corner).

Still trying to learn my D7000
Yesterday, I took a number of experimental shots (a red phone cord lying on a white background). The white background (an artists white canvas lying on the floor) was well lit from above using 5600K lights.
The shots were all taken using auto focus, auto exposure, etc and in the view finder everything appeared to be correct, but on later viewing the photos, the white background appears to be grey.
I have attached a sample image to show the grey colour.
especially when using the auto mode when taking the photos.
I am not concerned about the picture quality only the grey background and I did not undertake a WB as I thought that this was part of the auto mode when taking the photo. the shot was taken by half pressing the shutter release butto to ensure that everything was OK then continuing to fully press the button.
Is there any way to change the background color of the Layer palette? (CS6/Mac here)
Working with white type and objects is very frustrating.
