The background color has always been gray. Now it is black. The background color that I am talking about is the one outside the editable area on the screen. I am talking about the space that is not editable.
Can anyone help me change that color back to gray? I have looked in preferences, tried my paint bucket tool in that area, nothing works.
I've been toying around with all kinds of different backgrounds for my webpages and have been trying to find something fun, simple, and kinda professional looking. I'm looking for really simple patterns like this. I really loved different variations I made of this design, but I kinda feel like it will get old after a while if I just keep changing the color of this same pattern over and over.
I'm wondering if any of you guys can recommend some other simple patterns I can make in ps. I saw some pages that had cool looking grid designs, when I tried to do it though, it didn't come out to well. The background made my site look like a homepage from 97'.
I'm not well versed in color matching so I use an application called Color Wheel Expert to help me choose matching colors and what not. For awhile I've tried to figure out how I can accomplish the same sort of thing simply using Photshop's color Palette/Picker, but haven't been able to figure it out.
Is there a simple way to determine a color's complement, triad, etc while selecting a color? What about getting 'shades' of a particular color? I know you just add white to get shades, but how do you accomplish that inside the color picker?
I have a picture that is all black and white. All I want to do is replace the black parts with a different color. I have tried using the replace color comand and I can't get it to work. I know this should be the easiest thing in the world to do.
View 4 Replies View RelatedJust wants to get some simple "animated words" traced with a white background (instead of the background being "dimmed" looseleaf paper)
To explain, here's a comparison example of what I'm trying to achieve:
Imagine the phrase:
EGG-CELERATING THE PACE OF FERTILITY
Where the letter E is:
The vertical part of the E is a stalk of Celery
The horizontals of the E are cartons of Eggs.
Where the "P" of Pace looks like a basic line drawing of a "pacing shoe"
...with perhaps "anxious" looking eyes drawn inside the shoe
...yet still look like a P
...and the remainder is [roughly] like my attached letters on Dim looseleaf background. (see attached)
How would you achieve the EGG-CELERATING phrase? I bet an expert could achieve this within 1/2 hour or less, can't they? So I'm trying to achieve the same as the above:
...albeit it's a different phrase, and different BASIC pics.
...in other words, it's mostly outlined-alphabet, but including 4 basic pictorial-letters, and some more letters containing "eyes"
P.S. Regarding the attachment, note that I placed that in a Layer which I called Layer1
Then tried selecting it & changing background to White But was unsucessful.
I have a low-res bitmap. It has a dark grey background with a plain white icon. The transitional pixels are various shades of grey.
I want to make the dark grey into a bright blue, leave the white white, and have the transitional pixels changed to maintain their respective "in between" values.
I do have Photoshop CS2 but I though Xara was more likely to be able to do this.
I want to create something like this:
The text is in farsi, and i don't even know how to make it in center, like the photo.
You know how when you're painting, you can hold ALT and it will pick a colour from the canvas? Well, for some reason, mine still picks up the colour but it sets it to the background colour instead of the foreground colour.
And when I actually select the colour picker tool, it will only select the background colour but when I hold Alt, it selects the foreground colour. Basically it's flipped where it's supposed to select.
When I have any kind of layer, and I want to change the foreign or background color (with the color picker) I just cant. When I click on the foreign or background color it automatically selects the eyedropper tool, and I don't want this to happen.

Illustrator keeps freezing when applying an effect such as texture-grain to a simple gradient, or even rasterizing a simple black circle. My system is about a 6month old macbook pro with 16gb ram, i7 and AMD Radeon HD 6770M 1024 MB. What could be causing this? It wasn't like this when i first started using the laptop but has started to do it everytime i try and do any of those simple tasks recently.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIn CS3 and earlier, the application background color came from the Windows application background global property. In CS4 the central area seems to be (127,127,127) and I can't figure out how to change it. I have "open documents as tabs" OFF because I like individual windows, so the bright gray background is distracting.
How do I make it darker? There doesn't seem to be a property in Preferences->Interface.
how do you take this green tint off? notice the difference in color options from the above (only green) as opposed to the one below (full)
I want the green tint taken off so the pic can look like this (original) in photoshop, the green background has all the characteristics of the white-default background...when i click the overlapping default foreground and background colors toolbar the green background doesn't change
the only option i have is to choose from a green color spectrum, not a full color spectrum...

My company has asked me to create a new logo for use in our web apps. Well, I used Photoshop to create the psd, then saved it as a png file, with a tranparent background.

1) for the graphic-main body of the image.
2. Text above the image.
