Amend bleed area to as white not transparent

Hi
I have just switched over to creative cloud for Indesign from CS5.5. The bleed area shows as transparent rather than the usual white as in CS5.5. Can anyone tell me how to change the setting so this area is white not transparent please?

Hi Peter
Can you tell me how to control it though please? How do I amend it from transparent to white please?
Thanks

When i print from the web pictures are black and white not color

Having trouble with printing from web the pictures are not color on;y black and white. Ink levels are fine and I have run cleaning and aligning tools. What other solutions am I missing?

I have tried 100%, AutoZoom, Page width,page fit and actual size and they are all the same size. About 2/3s the size it should be. My printer is set correctly
and I also reset the printer in msconfig as suggested by another helper. It changed to default and this has not helped. Do I need to reset the msconfig file back to user?

How do you make the black area in an FLV playback white or transparent

Trying to make the FLV playback black area white or
transparent, because there is a black flash that shows up when play
the movie. I am trying to alleviate this by changing the black area
to another color or alpha.

In your publish settings, click on the HTML tab and look for
a field entitled 'Window Mode'. One of the choices is 'Transparent
Windowless'. This should work if you have objects that don't have
backgrounds. If you are looking to make video transparent, so far
in my experience, the only video I have been able to make this work
with is a Quicktime Animation with the RGB + Alpha. Also, when you
import your video to the stage, make sure to click on the 'Encode
Alpha Channel' box. That will give you the transparency you're
looking for.

Eraser tool in Photoshop CS4 acts as if it is transparent when on brush or pencil mode. Block acts like its not transparent at all but there are no options for opacity, flow or brush size. Whats wrong and how to I make the brush and pencil eraser erase co

Eraser tool in Photoshop CS4 acts as if it is transparent when on brush or pencil mode. Block acts like its not transparent at all but there are no options for opacity, flow or brush size. Whats wrong and how to I make the brush and pencil eraser erase completely without having to go over it multiple times?
It started randomly about two weeks ago and I thought it was a glitch that would just go away. But now I am getting sick of using only the block eraser on one size. Help?

The easiest thing to start with is to reset the Eraser Tool.
Right click on the Eraser icon in the tool options bar and then click on Reset Tool.

Bleed area not showing in a PDF exported from InDesign

Hi,
I created a document in InDesign with a border that goes to the edge. To make sure that the border doesn't get cut off in printing, I added a bleed and brought the border to the bleed to insure against that happening. However, when I export the file to a PDF, it doesn't show the bleed, even if I ask to include crop marks or bleed marks. Is there anyway to make sure the bleed shows in the PDF?
Thanks!

please check if the setting in the printer are correct and if the mark and bleed are included when exporting the PDF .
Also what is the PDF option that you are choosing and steps to recreate the issue or a screen shot please .
what PDF printer driver are you using ?

i have a line drawing (black on white paper) i have scanned and need to make the white paper transparent, maintaining the line drawing, can i and then HOW can i do this in PS? this is for my business logo. ive used it for years but with a solid background. id like to have it just be the drawing over my photos with a transparent background.

First let me apologize for posting a reply that was only suitable for advanced users. Photoshop is broad and powerful therefore has a huge learning curve. In fact I would state no one knows and uses all of Photoshop. When we first get Photoshop it intimidate us and we're very uncomfortable using it. Many thing are not intuitive there in much learning involved. After some time we begin to know something and we are able to do some thing. Learning become rapid and we start playing in Photoshop. It is very important to play with Photoshop. Playing with Photoshop and asking for help with in forums like this IMO is the best way to learn.
Photoshop Power lies in layers, selection and automation. However it takes knowledge to use photoshop well so most powerful tool you have ins Photoshop is the gray matter between your ears. Most at one time or another want to watermark or put a logo on their image. So its best to automate this process. All run into a problem in the process. "Size" We find our assets vary in size and aspect ratios. Landscape, Portraits, Panoramas and others. This complicates automation. Vector graphics works best when size vary greatly. If you can not work out how to create a vector solution like a custom shape. Create your Logo and watermark large thing scale down better the up. Text scale well for text uses vectors graphics however if you rasterize text it will not scale well.
I do not type or do English well so let me do some screen captures. I can not stress enough how important Black, White, Grays and Blending is when it come to image processing. Become friends with Multiply, Screen, Overlay and Luminosity blending.....
However when there is a white or black background though you can blend them you can not add a style like a drop shadow, emboss or make it invisible setting fill to 0 so only the style is visible. When there is contrast between the logo and background it is easy to separate the two. To select the background and delet it to have the logo with a transparent background. Many tools can be used to create the selection hee I use my action kill white.
Vector Shape would work better for scaling However it would be best to create the logo from scratch in a vector program like illustrator but I never had the resources to justify the Creative suite. I only had Photoshop. Recently Adobe gave me and other a year subscription to the creative suite for our participation here. I still have not installed anything but Photoshop, A while back I found a program that can create vector patf for black and white art work. It will not be as good as using something like illustrator. However vector paths can be edited in Photoshop and cleaned up some. Here is the PSD it 13MB because od the gradient http://www.mouseprints.net/old/dpr/AmPm24-7.psd

My printer is Hp printer 932C it will only print in black and white not color

my printer is Hp printer 932C it will only print in black and white not color I got a new color cartage nothing still only printing in back and whit what can i do

There are a few things to check:
Make sure the blue tape has been removed from the nozzle plate.
Print a diagnostic page as shown in method 4 here. Does this page print color? If so the issue may be your driver settings. Check for a "Print in grayscale" setting and uncheck this box.

Print in Black and White, NOT GRAYSCALE!

Hello,
I'm trying to print on my Mac in Black and White -- NOT grayscale. The printer I'm using is a thermal printer that prints on heat-sensitive card-stock (a DataMax E-4203 printer) and when I print bar-codes on there the edges of the bar-codes are "fuzzy" as the Mac tries to convert it into a grayscale image instead of a pure black-and-white image. With the edges being fuzzy instead of crisp, the bar-code scanner device I have simply cannot read the bar-codes. If I use the software on a Windows machine, it prints the bar-codes perfectly, because in Windows I can set the printer to be Black and White, instead of Grayscale..
So, on a Mac (Mac Pro, OS X 10.7.3) how do I set it to print in pure Black and White, not Grayscale?
Thanks for any help you can give me,

You're taking a rather large loss on a new computer and spending the money on another one to fix one issue on an obscure piece of hardware? Do this instead.
1) Cancel the order on the Dell.
2) Use Boot Camp to install Windows on your Mac Pro. WAY less expensive to buy a copy of Win 7 to run on your Mac than the money you're planning to flush down the drain.
3) Get on the lazy butts of the company that make your thermal printer to write a Mac driver that has all of the same settings and features of the Windows driver. Which may not be easy as their site marks the printer you have as discontinued, though still supported.
DataMax has one heck of a crappy site. I've looked around a dozen pages and can't find something as simple as print drivers to download.
Yes, DataMax's web-site is awful... But they don't support the Mac at all, so even if their web-site was great, you'd never find Mac drivers to download... The Mac driver for this printer comes from a company called the Peninsula Group, and they write drivers for dozens of different thermal printers... They claim that they cannot write a driver that has all the features of the DataMax Windows driver, because of limitations of the CUPS printing system on the Mac... I claim that's B.S., but how am I going to prove otherwise?
I considered running the Mac in Windows BootCamp mode all the time -- but then what's the point in owning a Mac? Originally I was happy to be making the switch from PC to Mac... But everything (not just printing, but nearly everything I do) is more difficult on a Mac... Owning this machine has been the worst computing experience I've ever had... No joke.. I've never had such trouble doing what I want to do... Nothing works the way it should work. Nothing.
If I had been using Macs all along, then perhaps I'd feel differently... But everything is so different on a Mac, that I just can't seem to get used to it... For crying out loud, the Home and End keys don't even work right!! I hit End and I expect the cursor to go to the end of the LINE, not the end of the DOCUMENT! (End of the document is what Ctrl+End is for, dammit!) What the **** is up with that?! And scrolling is wrong, too... It scrolls up when I pull down on the mouse-scroll. Everything is backwards on the Mac... I've truly grown to hate it the more I use it... I'll not be buying another Mac, if I can help it... Wish I'd never bought this one... Call it a very expensive lesson learned...

Indesign wrong Bleed Area in PDF

Hi,
I'm going to publish a book through a book-on-demand online service and I wanted some informations because I think there are problems with my Bleed Area in the PDF's exported from Indesign.
My book is about 190 pages in A4, so I set its dimensions to 210 mm x 297 mm, with a Bleed Area on each side of 3,175 mm as stated on the online website.
Since my background should extend on each side and I don't want white borders to appear on the page sides during the print, I extended the background to the bleed area, as the following picture (my facing pages master):
When I export my book I get a strange result. Basically some pages have the inner bleed, that should contain the background I extended, totally white. Others, instead, have the copy of a part of the beginning of the previous page. Like this picture:
This page is a new chapter, a new document of my indesign book. As you can see the bleed area on the left doesn't contains the background I extended but its white. Same happens with other pages, like the one of the chapter ending.
Next you find the image of a common page in my book, as you can see the bleed area is fulled with the beginning of the background of another page.
This is the PDF i get when exporting. I think something is wrong.
I really need a lot of help on this, since I put much efforts in this project I would like to understand what I'm doing wrong now!
Thanks a lot for any help!
Marcello

Are you getting the white edge on every second page? Are you printing to Postscript and distilling, or printing direct to PDF, or Exporting the PFD?
Your exported PDF looks exactly as it should. On an inside bleed, the bleed area is the edge of the opposite page in the spread if one is present. I'm guessing you need the inside bleed for perfect binding, and you have two choices, in my opinion. First would be to split the spreads and extend the art into the bleed area (see InDesignSecrets » Blog Archive » Breaking Pages Apart to Bleed Off a Spine) and setting an inside bleed value. The other, probably easier, option for this document would be to set the inside bleed to 0, turn on layout adjustment, and then set the page width and inside margins wider by the amount of the inside bleed that you need. Add some manual crop marks, and a ruler guide to show you where the trim should really be.

Two clips that are overlaid creates white line when rendered

In Final Cut Pro 7, I have copied a clip on top of itself in the timeline.
- The clip on top was then moved to the right so that the clip below would be seen slightly ( I needed a way to scoot the subject over while preserving the background on the left side. It is a black and white image over a flush gray background).
- When the clips are renderd, a white vertical line appears between the two clips
- The white line remains when exporting, and remains when it is uploaded to vimeo
- I need it to be gone! It is not there before rendering the timeline, but appears afterward!!!

What happens if you crop the right image a bit more? Does the line show up?

Duplicate artboard with items in bleed area Illustrator CS5

I have an Illustrator CS5 file for business cards imposed 6 up, with double trims marks in bleed area only (not on artboard).
When artboard is duplicated, anything in the bleed area only doesn't duplicate too. InDesign can do it. Is there a way in Illustrator?

I think I need to clarify what I'm after.
I have extra crop marks (not bleed marks) because the cards are imposed 6 up.
So I need the extra crop marks plus the automatic corner crop marks.
These are placed on the bleed area only, so they will be cut off when printing is finished.
When the artboard is duplicated, anything on the bleed area only (ie the extra crop marks) are not duplicated too.
InDesign duplicates pages and bleed items no problem. Even Freehand can do it.

Narrowing Page Width - Bleed Area

Hello,
I would like to add a bleed area around the website pages that I am developing currently, in order to accommodate people that want to view the site with smaller screens. I am aware of the fact that the website page height and width can obviously be set, but that is not what I want to change.

There is only one good reason for separating pages like this - when the book is wirobound/spiral bound/comb bound (or whatever term fits) but the spirally things instead of a spine or staples.
To the OP - this is completely normal. The print falls outside the trim area - and should be trimmed by the finishers.
If it's an issue then do as posted above.
There's actually a pretty nifty script for this http://in-tools.com/indesign/scripts/freeware/SeparatePages.jsx
