Photoshop :: How To Get Colour Of Transparent Background
Aug 16, 2013
if you go to the address with the usual prefix for all websites beginning with "w" and suffix beginning with "c" (address is fmaarchitects). The picture slideshow on the homepage has text below the pictures written on transparent background.... I want to achieve the colour of the transparent background, how do I go about this ?
when I use the brush tool, it doesn't apply the full colour. It's very pale (as if the opacity is low), but the opacity is 100%? When you go over an area with the colour that has already been applied with the brush, it deepens/darkens the colour, but still not full colour. I believe this happens when there is a transparent background. Is there a setting to control this? Is this the only circumstance where this happens?
(i.e. can you set this when there is a colour background)?
Can you turn it off with a transparent background, so when you apply the brush, the full colour comes through and doesn't change (deepen/darken), when brushed over again?
I will like to find out the colour code for the background colour on a particular web address. Unfortunately I am new here so not allowed to post links so will say this as creatively as possible. the address is theregentlagos (with the usual prefix beginning with w and suffix beginning with c for all websites). I am referring to the colour where the menu items like logo, home, brands etc are on.
I need to strip my current image of its background color so that the background color on my website goes thru my image. In other words I need a transparent background for my image.
I have create a new layer that is transparent, but the background color on my website does not go thru it. The background color of this image appears to be grayish not transparent.
I have some text documents in PDF format and would like to edit it in photoshop CS5, but each time I open them up in photoshop, the background seems to be transparent (tiny grey and white tiles), which is very eye tiring when editing/annotating with a wacom pen, how to fill the background total white?
I understand it is possible to make one colour transparent when you save a photoshop file for the web. This is useful to make objects appear to float over backgrounds on your web page.
My problem is that I don't know HOW to do this! When I save for web, I can't see how I select a colour to be transparent. If you set the background as transparent when you create your image, it just gets saved as a white background.
I have scanned in some red coloured Chinese characters. They were on white paper. Now I want to make the 'white' disappear, because it ist not quite white, and when I print I get a shadowy block around the characters. If I save a .png, can I tell it to make white invisible, transparent?
with CS4 I had a clear desktop with my screensaver, only the tools bar were visible at the top and on the side now that I have CS6....... the whole screen is covered with a dark grey colour ..... that means that I can not select other photos or folders unless I hide photoshop. I had a look at the preferences, interface, etc. and I can not see any difference between the two.what changes to make to the settings so that I can use CS6 and see the normal desktop.
I was asked to cut out the background from a logo to make it transparent so the logo would look nice on a variety of backgrounds. I've been given a good quality jpeg file.
What I did was I selected (by colour) the background (white), inverted the selection, copied it and pasted as a new image.
It's all fine (the logo itself doesn't have any other elements) but there's still some whiteish/greyish outline around certain elements of the logo.
If I were to do it manually, it'd probably take ages. What would be the best way to accomplish it?
I'm new this forum and I really need help on touching and improving of images. For instance, the image below - I would like to have a clear/transparent background so it looks like those photos that are featured in catalogues.
Is there a way to change the background layer colour once you've started a document?
When I first created my document (in PS CS2, if that makes a difference) it automatically set my background colour as sepia, instead of white.
I'm now working on a painting and just realised that I can't use white; PS is calling this sepia colour white, and I can't get anything lighter.
Is there a way to fix this? I've done it on a few pictures now and I don't want to have to start everything over.
I've just tried making a new document with a white background layer and the same thing still happens! What is this?! I'm sure this can't be right! I'm on some sort of sepia scale; I can't even do grays. *desperate*
I work with a German version and so I do not know the exact English words of the objects and functions. What I want to do is drawing circles with an outline (I know how to do that) but with a filling (background) colour which has a transparency of for example 50%. Is that possible and how should I do that?
Must I enter the outline and the filling part on two different layers to get the transparency for the filling colour?
I have an image open in Photoshop, rulers visible on 2 sides. I pulled out the bottom right hand side (as I look at the screen) to have the image float in the background. Normally my background is grey, but suddenly it's turned to blue.
how this happened - what I unknowingly hit - but neither can I work out how to return to grey.
Am I able to change the background colour of the view screen in PSE 11 organiser? The current background is grey, which isn't a great colour to optimise viewing images. Black would be better.
I want to edit a photo of a car so that the car remains in colour and the background changes to black and white (or should I say mono?). I have seen this several times and wanted to have a go myself. I understand that it can be done in Elements using layers?
Let's say I have an image with a grey color as backgroung and i want to replace the grey color background and make it transparent instead, do you know how i can do this?
I have a file with 2 layers, one (Layerone) that is blank, i.e. no fill or anything. The other layer (Layertwo) has text. I save the file as a .gif, select transparent, select matte as none, and keep getting a white background when I upload the file to my website.
I also tried copying the text Layer to the clipboard, creating a a new file with the background set as 'transparent', then pasting the text only layer into the new file. I still get the white background when I upload to website.
It can't be this hard to get a transparent background. What am I doing wrong?
i have a question about photoshop CS. i have it and i want to make an image have a transparent background so i can put it on another image or a background. but im not sure how. can someone please tell me how. like what bottons to use.
My graphic designer designed the attached file. He claimed that it's impossible to turn the background of this image to a transparent one. I'm no expert, but I do think it's possible to turn the gray background into a transparent one.
I'm trying to create a transparent background for a jpg - I have a scanned graphic that is going on a web page and I don't want the white background. When I create the image with a transparent background as soon as I save it loses the transparency.
'The Background removal question has been asked frequently here and many techniques have been offered and discussed. I suggest you search the forum for "remove background" or "extract".'
For an example I want a red box, but instead of having the background as white I want it transparent, so when I use it for a sig only the red box will show.
