Render background black is not really black and white is not really white

Goodday,
I have problem when i try to render movies from Premiere Pro CS4 in Adobe Media Encoder.
When it is has black background or a white background and i want to render it in Adobe Media Encoder the color shifts a little bit. Black gets really dark grey and white is not white anymore.
I import the composition in Media Encoder and make a WMV from it with all its values to the max. I also tried a few different codecs, but non of them keeps the background black or white.
what can i do to solve the problem?
sincerly,

It's possible you have got some "sit-up" on the black. Do you have access to a 'scope? Not the rubbish thing in PrPro. If you have then look at the line timebase in the output and check the position of the 0 level after the back porch (after the line sync period). An overly raised black level (pedestal) in the video period will cause the blacks to look grey. If you are using a Proc Amp anywhere in the output then check the setup.
Similarly, raising the black level can cause clipping on your whites, which can result in the white not looking "white" depending upon how much it's being clipped and the setup of the clipping device threshold.
Just a thought.

  • How do I make image backgrounds black and white while maintaining color in the foreground objects?

    I have a close up close-up image of an orchid with blurred background.  I am trying to make the background black and white while maintaining the foreground color on the petals, buds and stems.  Any ideas?

    Use the Blank & White Brick and either brush the effect onto the background or brush is away from the foreground.  "Detect Edges" will help control the edge of the mask.
    You might be interested in knowing that you can brush on/away masks of different strengths, and thus produce effects in between 0% and 100%.
    Search the forum -- there are several good posts detailing how to create this effect.
    Sample search.

  • Flattened png. files only render in black and white

    Hi,
    I have been working with fireworks on a daily basis for over
    a year now, and I have never come across this problem. I think it's
    either a setting, or I have some sort of bug. But here's whats
    going on: I design websites and so I use lots of .png files
    (flattened of course) Recently all of flattened png files are
    rendering only in black and white. By that I mean I save them in
    color, and then when I save them they turn black and white, and I
    can only tell this once I reopen them. Even if I go into the
    options section when you are saving a doc, and I can choose the
    format, and then underneath that the palette, the palette itself is
    somehow always set to grayscale, and so I will change it to web
    adaptive which is my usual setting. Has anyone had this problem
    before. The only way around it that I have found is by first saving
    my project as a jpg, and then going back into fireworks and then
    saving it as a flattened png.

    When installing the new cartridges, did you get the message "Original HP cartridges have been installed"?
    Can you check the ink levels and actually see the been color displayed?

    Hello - I have Lightroom 5.  I have imported a color photo.  I am trying to use the Adjustment Brush to change the background to Black and White and leave a portion of the photo in color.  When I begin painting the photo with the Saturation at -100 I don't see any changes to the photo.  I push the "O" key and still nothing.  I have tried to reset the photo, restarted Lightroom and still nothing.  Please help.

  • 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)

  • Whatssap background photo black and white

    For the life of me I can't figure this out and it is driving me bananas!!!!!
    Just a little while a go the picture I have on the background of my chat windows on whatssap messenger turned black and white.
    Here is everything I tried to get it back to color:
    change the picture to another color picture
    reset the wall paper withing whatssap chat settings and then select a totally different color picture
    shut down app and re-start
    shut down iphone and re-start
    reset iphone and re-start
    delete whatssap messenger and reinstall, after reinstall select a totally different color picture
    None of these render my chat background picture to be in color.  It is in black and white.
    My last resort would be to put the iphone back to factory settings but I want to avoid that as I have a 64 gig iphone full of stuff and it will take a long time to re-insert the backup.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    RESOLVED!!!
    Solution from the whatssap developers:
    A grayscale chat wallpaper is usually caused by having "Darken Colors" enabled in the Increase Contrast settings (iPhone Settings > General > Accessibility > Increase Contrast).
    The next version of WhatsApp for iPhone will retain the wallpaper's color while the Darken Colors setting is enabled. Until then, please leave this setting disabled, or choose a black and white chat wallpaper. Unfortunately we cannot comment on any future timelines, sorry.

  • Lighten background on a black and white photo

    I took a picture of a yearbook picture that is 50 years old. I used my Canon Power Shot Pro1 camera with black and white setting. The picture looks great but the background is darker than I like. Using Elements 4 how can I change the background to white or a light color? I tried using the Magic Extractor but I was not successful. Hope someone can help. I have The Missing Manual so if someone has a copy maybe they can point me to the correct chapter. Thanks Wayne Wiseman

    Wayne,
    One common way is to select the background using the various selection methods (or it might be easier to select the foregound and invert the selection). Feather the selection a few pixels.
    Then use any of several ways to lighten the selection:
    (These are PSE menu items; they might be different in PSE4)
    - Enhance>Adjust Color>Hue/Saturation, and adjust the Lightness slider
    - Enhance>Adjust Brighnest/Contrast>Brightness/Contrast,
    and adjust the Brightness slider
    - Enhance>Adjust Brightnest/Contrast>Levels,
    and adjust either or both sliders
    Another more involved process:
    1. Create new layer, set its mode to Soft Light or Overlay.
    2. Set foreground color to white.
    3. Choose soft paintbrush and paint or dab over the background. Another way is to select/feather the background and fill with white using the Paint Bucket Tool.
    4. Lower opacity of the layer to get the lightness you want.
    Of course there are lots of other ways, but this should give you a start.

    Hi everyone, I'm the one from the example above posted by @frankensinatra and I can confirm having the same problem.
    But I want to add something. The problem is not only related to black and white but to every picture, and it can be worse or not depending on the range of colors involved. Apparently, there is a shift between some RGB value that is going to remove some green producing a magenta look.
    I've started contacting some developer about this problem and some of them is trying to understand what's going on.
    In my case, the problem came up when I bought the new iPad mini Retina. I didn't have this problem with the previous iPad mini. Same OS for both devices.
    The photo you see in the link above is a perfect example of what happens just going from one app to another and saving to the camera roll. In that case, the situation doesn't change if I send that picture from within the app by email, or to another app using the "open in..." feature. It keeps being purple. And the problem can be reproduced all the time.
    Have some of you noticed the same?

  • How to design a "white" background in "black and white" ad on pink newsprint?

    Long-time Indesigner here, but I have never had this dilemma before. Am designing a "black and white" newpaper ad for a major paper that has a pink section, i.e. it prints on pink newsprint. So I know this is black ink only, hence the "black and white"...but when the "white of regular newsprint is pink, I am getting stumped. I see in their rate card ads with a white background and black ink on top of the pink newsprint, which is what I want to do. The ad has facial tones of a major recording artist, and I do not want the highlights of her face going pink. So how to I ad a "white" layer underneath this ad? Deadline is now, so please reply ASAP. I have inquiries into the paper but it is the weekend and nobody is getting back to me.

    Have they got a rate card: Check it! It may list a "white knockout advert" rate. I think:
    that to overprint adverts onto pink is limiting i think its a separation (unless they only want/cater for 1 colour (black) ads) unlike yellow pages where the the standard directory colours are blue, green, red and black (err... obv because of the yellow paper...) yellow pages also offer white knockout adverts (then yellow available) and CMYK adverts.
    So: you got to make sure that the advert is designed per spec: as you may know designing for newsprint is a lot more technical than gloss mags/sheet fed etc. You can always see in a newspaper who (designer) got it wrong.
    All the info should be on the rate card: just check the CI too: as white knockout may be a lot more expensive.

  • Black and white a adjustment layer not working

    Hi every one. I know this is going to sound really dumb but I am looking to change a color logo to bw. I wanted to use the black and white adjustment layer but the option is greyed out. Is there a step I am missing? The file is cmyk and is 8bit. I am using PS  CS6. What do I need to do to make this option available?

    The only dumb question, is the one you do not ask.

  • Why is background black and text black so you cannot see what you are typing

    Why is the background black and the text black.  You cannot see what you are typing or read the text of posts?

    Hi dlwhit,
    I'm not sure what you mean by the background and text being black.  The sidebars are black, but the text is supposed to show up on a white background.  I haven't seen this, nor has anyone else reported this issue yet.
    Can you give more information where you see black on black text so we can try to correct it?

  • I can not print black and white only documents and I have a full black ink cartridge

    I have been an loyal HP customer since the orginal laserjet in the early 90s and then many inkjets from HP after that.  
    I bought an HP 6600 All in one for the house and have only ever printed in black and white. 
    For some reason one of the color ink carts is empty after a few months of black and white only printing.   No problem - I only print in black and white - or so I thought. 
    Nothing I have been able to do (aside from buying a color cart I don't need) is able to tell the printer to not worry about color and only use the black and white cart.  Past inkjets from HP didn't have a problem with this.
    Please tell me HP didn't do this on purpose and is going to trying and justify the need for me to buy any color carts if I never print in color.  HP - if you did and you are going to try and tell me you neeeded to do this for any reason then someone please sign me up for the class action lawsuit if you are an attorney looking for plaintiffs.  
    However, I am sure I am overlooking some simple setting on the 6600 to move past this annoyance. 
    Thanks!

    Hi Atlanta90210,
    We appreciate your brand loyalty, and I'm very sorry for the frustration this has caused.
    There is a lot of good information in Cannot Print When One of the HP Ink Cartridges is Empty. It explains how your printer works and how it is designed. Another good resource is posted here.
    In the first link I mentioned, there are steps to print with black ink only. I have a similar printer to this at home (with the same print mech), and I have found that the steps to print with black ink only have saved me lots of ink.
    There needs to be ink in all the cartridges for this printer to continue printing (after the cartridge's reserve mode is depleted). Once you have replaced the empty cartridges, you can change the print settings to print with only black ink so the printer doesn't use color ink. Until then, there is not a way to bypass this.
    I know this is not the answer you were hoping to receive, but I do hope it was helpful.
    I'd be happy to help you with any other questions or concerns.
