I have trouble reading in Black and White. changing the background color for all

I have trouble reading in Black and White. On my PC I can change the background  color (and I am not just talking about for a word or pages document) but for eveything so anything that was a white background I can put in what ever color I like but it still prints in Black and white.. I can't see how to do this on the Macbook air. on my PC I do this in display. Sort of putting colored film over the screen I dont know what to do. Can anyone help?

Hello Floridamacbookpro,
You may be interested in the 'invert colors' Accessibility feature. This can be invoked by pressing the Control, Option, Command, and 8 keys on your keyboard. This only affects your display, and does not have any affect on printed items.
Mac OS X displays inverted image colors (white on black, reverse type)

  • I have HP Deskjet 3510 connected wireless - problem is that it wants to print only black and white - is there a color button I am missing?  The print quality report is fine in color etc.

    I have a HP Deskjet 3510 and it wants to print only in black and white. 
    The Print Quality Report is fine and in color.
    Is there a color button I am missing?

    In the Print & Scan system preferences, does it indicate it is using a generic printer driver or a Gutenprint driver?
    Also, if you click on Options & Supplies, you might want to check and see if has to be enabled. That kind of sounds odd though.
    Another thing is it might not be showing. If the bottom of the print dialog has a button that says "Show Details," click it. Then, you can change settings in the popup menu.

  • I have bought a Belkin composite cable from the apple store but the picture is black and white? The tv connection does require the red yellow white cables and that is the one I bought

    I have bought a Belkin composite cable from the apple store but the picture is black and white? The tv connection does require the red yellow white cables and that is the one I bought? Can any one help

    You have the iPhone in your profile, but people's profiles here are often incomplete or very outdated.  It's better to be specific.  And part of the problem is that I can't find any Belkin composite cables for connecting an iPhone to a TV, either on the Apple Store or the Belkin site.  The closest I found is this Belkin video cable, which doesn't specify exactly what kind of connection it is.
    For the most relevant assistance, you've got to post in the iPhone forum and specify the cable by providing a link to exactly which cable you're using.

  • Black and white changes to red on printing

    I have been scanning some black and white photo's to my computer and then printing them after enhancing them. Some have printed okay but others come out red and I have no idea why. Anyone any ideas. I am using iphoto 11 version 9.3

  • Black and white pic back to color

    I understand how to turn a pic black and white but can not figure out how to turn a single item in the pic back to color like for example a pic of a child wearing a pink bracelet i want the pic to be black and white but the bracelet back to pink...can someone please help with this?.

    desaturate
    make sure the mode (image> mode) is rgb
    then either paint with the brush in color mode, or make a selection and use an adjustment layer in hue/sat/brightness mode with colorize checked to adjust the item to the desired color.

  • Mask gradiant black and white no matter what color is chosen

    My mask gradiant is black and white not matter what color I choose. How do I fix that?

    You may wonder about that from now on until:
    1.  When someone expresses difficulty understanding you, describe just what you mean, using different terms.
    2.  Use whole paragraphs.  Maybe even more than one.  This isn't instant messaging.
    Your phrase "mask gradiant" (assuming one reads through the misspelling) could mean many things.  You haven't provided enough context to know what you really mean.
    If I put a gradient into a mask it may be because I want the image on a layer to fade away, revealing what's underneath.  The gradient can only be grayscale (black, gray, or white) - it cannot be colored.
    I can't imagine why you would want to color a mask.  It makes no sense.  What are you really trying to accomplish?  Did someone tell you that you could do this?
    Perhaps you're using the terms "mask" or "gradient" incorrectly, or for something that is really called something else.
    Help us help you out here.

  • My black and white pictures show up colored

    My photos aren't the same as the filter I used in the camera when I was taking the picture, for example my black and white photos show up colored.

    Have you checked your ink levels and the inkjet jets for plugging?

  • Is there a script to change black and white graphics to a color?

    I have a folder of black and white graphics.  I want to change them all to a color quickly without having to open each one and change the color, preferably in a new folder.   Is this possible?

    Good day!
    Please check out the chapter "Automation" in the Reference.
    If the task can be recorded as a plain Action it can be applied to multiple Files for example via File > Automate > Batch or File > Scripts > Image Processor.

  • After turning an image black and white, how can I color in a certain area?

    After turning an image black and white, how can I color in a certain area?

    How did you change it? Did you make your B&W on a separate layer? If so, just erase the part of the layer you don't want, or add a layer mask and paint with black over the parts you want to hide.
    If not, then you can copy/paste the original photo (you will need to press ctrl+A/cmd+A to select all before you can copy) into the new image. From there it depends on the relative proportions of B&W. Arrange the two layers so the one with the most area that you want to keep is on top, and either mask out the rest or just erase it away.
    For future reference, an easier way to do this when starting from scratch is to use the smart brush. Choose a black and white conversion style, turn on the inverse checkbox and paint over the part you want in color. The rest of the photo turns black and white, leaving what you paint over in the original colors.

  • HP 8500 All-in-one printer - how can I print in black and white only (to save color ink)?

    I want to be able to select the option of printing in black and white only to save color ink.  How can I do that?

    What operating system? You can generally find an option for "Print in grayscale" and "Black ink only" in the Color or Advanced tab of the Printer Settings.
    Some color ink will still be used to keep the printheads from clogging, see here for information.  (The Officejet 8500 is an IIC printer in the vocabulary of that page.)

    You can tell apple that you'd like it and see if they respond....eventually. (you don't get responses from your feedback mails but they have been known to issue changes that users have asked for, such as the ability to mass delete apps)
