In photoshop, how do you make a background a solid color?

Select all then edit fill is one way.
However if you mean the background behind a subject you need to separate the subject from its background the change just the background.  Look for tutorials on replacing background and extracting subjects

    When talking about a specific image posting the image may be useful.
    One can use a Layer Mask and add a white Layer underneath.

  • How do you make the background all one color without disturbing the subjects?

    I shot a wedding this past weekend.  Where the bridal party walked in there was an acrhway with christmas lights as the only lights.  It made the background all splotchy.  I have tried the paintbrush tool, but only preset choices, such a textures and such.  Won't help.  I need to work around people and make the background all one color.  I've tried using a vignette, but it made it too dark, and when you lighten the exposure you see all the splotches.  Does anyone have any advice.  I am in a  jam, I want the colors to be uniform for all the bridal party....and not look like someone threw paint on the wall.  HELP PLEASE!
    I'm using Adobe Photoshop Elements 10.

    You'll need to post an example so we can figure out the best way.

  • How do you make the background of an object transparent in Adobe Illustrator?

    Hello Forum.
    How do you make the background of an object transparent in Adobe Illustrator?
    I have been having issues with using the Magic Wand tool in Adobe Illustrator as well as the lasso tool.
    Basically, I am trying to put a small graphic into a new Illustrator file.
    The first thing I tried to do is to use the magic wand tool.  But I found out that this did not work on a jpeg image since it did not have any individual objects to select.
    So I tried something new.  I opened the file in Adobe Photoshop and used the lasso tool to select an area.  Then I coped this area.  Then I tried to paste it into Adobe Illustrator.  But the background was not transparent for the pasted image.
    How do I make the background transparent.
    I made this small video to show what I am talking about:

    Don't Copy/Paste the image.

  • How can you make a background image change to a faded state at a certain point in scroll?

    I'm referring to a technique I've seen used in Relevant Magazine's iPad app if anyone has used it. I understand having a shape behind text that has a feathered gradient and when you scroll the text the shape gradually fades out the background image. But this is not the effect I'm trying to acheive. On some of the articles in Relevant, the screen is a full image and as you scroll the type up, the entire background dims when you scroll to a certain spot.
    I've tried searching for hours, but I feel like I'm getting no where because I don't really know what to search for. I feel like it requires use of something other than what DPS is capable of. Hopefully this makes sense and I'd greatly appreciate any suggestions and help!
    Thanks!

    Try applying the feathered gradient to the scrollable content frame, not the background frame. It will appear to change the color of the background frame.

  • How do you make the background of your photo transparent?

    I have just cropped my pic using elements 12 and saved it as a png but it still has white corners around my circular pic. How do I get rid of the white corners?
    Thanks

    Rename the Background layer to anything else; this converts it to a "regular" layer. Select the white corners using the Magic Wand and Delete the selection. The white will be replaced by transparency.
    Initially, before you do the crop you can convert the Background layer. Then after cropping, with the circular selection still active, invert the circular selection and Delete.

  • How do you make a SpryMenuBar a different color for each page?

    Hey everyone. I'm new to web design and dreamweaver is definitly kicking my butt. Anyway, I'm trying to create a simple website for a foundation and I want to make each page have a different color Sprymenubar to match the color theme of the different pages. The site will only have about 6 color themes max so this shouldn't be a huge undertaking. The trouble I'm having is I have created the home page (the color green) and right now I'm working on the second page (the color blue). When I added a new sprymenubar and changed the CSS Rule to make the color of the menu blue and the hover color light blue it then changes the color of the menu on the home page from Green to Blue. How annoying! I even tried starting from scratch and inserting another horizontal sprymenubar but I can't seem to make another horizontal sprymenubar with a whole new set of rules independent from the first one. What can I do? Do I have to make an editable region or am I just not clicking a certain button to make the new menubar independent from the first one?

    Let me know!!

    Ok I found a similar question on this forum that was answered and helped. If anyone comes across this wondering the same thing, copy and paste your SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css file and rename the copy to something like "(Title_Of_Page)SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css" and then replace "SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css" in your code to <link href="../SpryAssets/(Title_Of_Page)SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css" and then you are good to go.

  • How do you make background gradient?

    Hey all,
    How would you make the background color a gradient effect,
    such as black at the top fading toward gray at the bottom?
    And also, on top of that, how would you make a rectangular
    main area as your website-content area? It would almost fill the
    page, but not quite- so the leftover width would be the gradient
    background. The rectangular area would have a background of all
    black.
    Thanks!

  • How do you change a background color in Lightroom 4.4 ?

    Hi ..please how can you make a background color change in Lightroom 4.4  ?@

    If you are talking about the surrounding background of the photo while in Library Loupe View or in Develop, that you can select among 3 levels of gray, black or white in the Preferences / Interface settings.
    If you are talking about the photo itself, you need to be a bit more specific about what you'd like to do.

  • How do you make a 3d octagon in photoshop cs4 extended?

    How do you make a 3d octagon in photoshop cs4 extended that you can map artwork to? I've been searched online for a solution that doesn't involve using a 3D program but can't find anything. Can't you extrude a shape like in Illustrator, or exporta true 3D shape from Illustrator that will work? I'd use Illustrator but the mapping thing is finicky, and doesn't alow wrapping images around angles. (now someones going to say: "Don't mention any other programs in a PHotoshop forum!" Yeah yeah, there should be a forum then about using different Adobe programs together.) End of rant, any suggestions much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Thanks for your prompt response!
    Suggested Bridge Update
    It turns out that I got a message that this update had already been installed, which led me to more carefully look at the Bridge window and (finally) see that the Output module had a Quality dropdown: Full, 300 ppi, 150 ppi, 96 ppi and 72 ppi.  Thanks!  I decided to compare the CS4/Bridge results to those I got in CS2 with its convenient File/Automate/PDF Presentation/Multi-Page Document routine that I like.
    My project was an 8-page PDF made from scanned pages of handwritten notes into which some fairly small type had been insert using the Photoshop CS2 Type tool.  In Photoshop CS2, I had settled on "medium quality" JPEG compression as giving a "reasonable" file size (about 7 MB) and "very good/excellent" image quality.  I experimented with making the PDF in Bridge, using all five Quality levels.  See table below.  The Bridge "good minus" file was about the same size as the file produced in CS2, which I judged to be "very good/excellent" and slightly better visually than the 300-ppi, 23.5-MB Bridge file.
    Bridge Quality:
    Full
    300 ppi
    150 ppi
    96 ppi
    72 ppi
    File Size:
    25.2 MB
    23.5 MB
    7.6 MB
    3.2 MB
    2.1 MB
    Subjective Quality:
    Very good
    Very good
    Good minus
    Poor
    Useless
    I appreciate that you may not be all that interested in these observations, but it seems to me that Adobe has done us no favors in the multi-page PDF department in going from CS2 to CS4!
    Install the Old Contact Sheet/Picture Package Plug-Ins
    I had already done this some time ago, in order to get in CS4 the File/Automate/Contact Sheet II feature I liked in CS2.  It does not appear to me that this plug-in has anything to do with make multi-page PDF's.  Perhaps I'm missing something.
    Again, thanks for your response!

  • How would you make an effect like this?

    Hi! I'm new to the forums, but hopefully it's ok if I start this new discussion. I'm very new to Photoshop as well (newbie).
    Here is the image: http://sffbookreview.files.wordpress.com/2012/10/life-of-pi-banner.png
    How would you make the image on the right - with the watercolor painting crop effect of the tiger? Also, how would you make the font on the left gradually turn to orange?
    Thanks! Your help is much appreciated.

    Hi there,
    Here's a really quick tutorial on how to add the mask and gradient text over the image of a tiger.
    Masking the Image
    1) Open your image of the tiger. There should be two layers in your layers panel: the image and a white background.
    2) With the tiger layer selected, click on the icon marked below in the layers panel to create a layer mask.
    3) Being sure you have the mask you just created selected, paint with black using the brush tool to mask out the image. In your layers panel, if you look at the mask icon, you will see the areas where you were painting (on the canvas) change to black. Use a variety of brushes to recreate the effect in your example image.
    Creating Text with a Gradient Effect
    1) Use the Type Tool to create your basic text and reposition it on the page with the Move Tool.
    2) In the layers panel, control click on the type layer and select Blending Options.
    3) In the dialog box that opens, check the Gradient Overlay box and click on the "gradient overlay" text to move to the gradient options. Adjust the angle of the gradient, then click on the colored bar to select the colors you want. Click OK on each dialog to close them.
    Final result:
    I hope this helps, and please let me know if you need any more assistance.

  • How do you make photos vertical in iPhoto calendar?

    When making a calendar in iPhoto, and you choose 6 or 7 photos to be displayed on that month, how do you make the 4 little photos vertical?

    You can't change the frame.  But you can Control-click on the photos and select Fit Photo to Frame Size and it will reduce the size of the photo so the entire portrait photo will display in the frame.  The excess background will be the same color of the page's background.
    Happy Holidays
