Black background affect letters on top

Hi folks,
Still a rookie I am, using Ai (CS6).
I've produced a poster I'm fairly happy with, but black background is affecting red and green type on top of the black...
Possibly one hint towards a solution is that I have one photo with a transparency and the lettering that is on top of that transparency isn't affected by the black background.
The transparency was started by creating a cut-out of a mugshot in Ps CS6, using the magnetic tool, previously creating a transparent background layer.
Anyway, the long and the short is, if a tiff photo transparent background can keep out the black background, how can I create a transparent layer with similar properties?
Many thanks

You can actaully use a copy of the photo to create the transapranecy on another object. Selct teh opbject and the phot on top, then tranparanecy palette >> Make opacity mask, what is is white in the photo will show, what is black will be transparaent, gray wil be semitransparent accordingly.
You can use invert mask to invert the white/black results.
Without a ascreenshto thsi si the best advice I acn give, you can edit your original photo in phothsop to make a grayscale version for making purposes.

Problem: Light color shadow on top of black background when printing

Using InDesign CS3, PC.
I have a book cover design that looks perfect on screen. There is a section with a black background and colored letters on top of it. Also on top of this black background is an image of a dinosaur (made in illustrator CS3). The image was placed into the InDesign file and does not have any color to the background. But when it is printed (Xerox Phaser), there is a colored shadow where the image overlaps the black background section.
There are also colored areas over other black background sections where drop shadows (35%) occur on top of the black background.
Could anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? I have never dealt with 100% black in my designs before and I must be doing something wrong.
Again, on the screen you cannot see any of these colored areas on top of the black background. It's only when I print that they show up.
Thank you,
Cathy

The primary Menu (File, Edit, etc) displays as dark gray letters on black background

Firefox 4.0 Beta 1 -The menu at the top of the screen displays in colors of dark gray on black. I was really thrown at first because I always display the top menu. But when I remembered how to display the menu it is very hard to see - it is dark gray lettering on a black background.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I installed Firefox 4 Beta 1

Reboot and see if your menu comes back.

Too small guide letters and black background on guide.

Thank you LakeTahoe, you will be added to my report
Rick. I do plan on doing my own research and looking up users on other threads about this topic.
Let me clarify my request: If you guys know anyone who has the same feelings towards font size on their X1 guide please let me know. I am working with an Accessibility Supervisor who wants to compile this report. No other research is required other than getting in touch with me.
Please keep in mind this issue might not be fixed by dinnertime, but we need to present a solid report to our engineers in order to foster change. I appreciate your patience.

i have the X! system. The letters on my tv sets for the guide are too small to read. The black background on the guide should be able to be changed. When will this be fixed? Is someone working on it?

That choice is up to the individual but I am a 37 year veteran of the AV field. I am a CEDIA trained and certified home theater system designer and project supervisor. I am highly respected in my field. I might just know a thing or two about this. Apparently everything works perfectly for him. Yes it does and I am quite happy about that. He's also appointed himself the keeper somebody's gotta do it... LOL of these forums and is quick to scold anyone who dares to offer a critique of the X1 platform if it has been previously posted. If I "scold" anyone it is because they complained before they researched the topic or actually took the time to learn the product. I am not fond of the "complain first, learn second" philosophy. 90% of the questions or concerns posted in this forum can be solved by a 30 second Google search. Be assured there are those of us who have real issues with the X1 platform, Nobody has offer more help in this forum then I have. The "numbers" speak for themselves. That being said, there are many other helpful people in this forum who I have the utmost respect for and they know who they are. who don't read every post and who actually believe the more an issue is reported, whether in a previous thread or a new one, some action may be taken by Comcast. Now that may be a naive view based on the number of issues that have not been fixed, addressed or at least acknowledged by Comcast, but we can hope that someone there is listening. Roughly two months ago, I exchanged emails with a Comcast employee who hinted people that NEEDED to pay attention to this forum might not be... I was a bit disappointed.
I stand everything I have said about guide font size and legibility. I think it is wonderful in it's current form. But I have always said I support the ability to adjust guide size which the original X1 guide offered (but very few people used). If Comcast restored the ability to adjust guide font size, I would be all for it. I would set it smaller on at least one of my TVs.

In Pages, I have white letters in a black background. This is the first time I have used Pages. Is this bizarre format the default?

In Pages I have white letters in a black background. I would like to have the normal black letters on a white background. This is the first time I have used Pages. Is this the default format?

Should we guess what version of Pages? On either Mac or iGadget?
It helps to tell us.

Last night suddenly when I right-click-view-images in firefox, they appear centered and against a black background. It's usually meant to be a white background and the image appearing at top left. How to revert it?

I'm having trouble with something in firefox, it's quite minor but still bugs me. Last night suddenly when I right-click-view-images in firefox, they appear centered and against a black background. It's usually meant to be a white background and the image appearing at top left. I can't remember what I did to change this if it's my fault; if someone knows how to revert it I'd be thankful.

cor-el : thanks for the pointers! I wish the solution isn't an add-on every time ... if such long-standing behaviour is going to change, the least that could be done is put in an about:config option to get back the old behaviour.

Why are my PDFs black background with white lettering?

I cannot remember how to undo something. My pdfs are black background with white lettering. I just want it back to normal

Hi pistoley,
Are you viewing your PDFs in Reader or Acrobat, and what version? It sounds like there may have been a change made to the Accessibility preferences. In Reader/Acrobat XI, choose Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Reader/Acrobat preferences (Mac OS), and click the Accessibility category. Is Replace Document Colors selected? If so, try deselecting that.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

WORD doc x files show lettering changed from black to white with black background, colors have black background

WORD doc x files received open with black lettering changed to white with black backgrounds. Color images have black backgrounds. There is no issue for non MAC users. How can I open the document as sent? Thank you.

Pages (any version) is not a word clone, and may not digest Word documents as accurately as their native Microsoft application. Pages v5 is also far from feature/functionality complete, and that only compounds this issue.
Suggest you download/install the free LibreOffice and open the Word documents with it. Do the artifacts persist in LibreOffice?

PRINTING FROM FIREFOX I GET BLACK LETTERS ON A BLACK BACKGROUND WHICH IS UNREADABLE. WHY?

I have very low vision so I have the screen colors in Firefox set to black background with white letters. When printing anything from anywhere in Firefox, web site screen or this screen, I will get a black piece of paper. It prints the black screen background but prints black letters on it which is unreadable. It also wastes lots of ink. I cannot use anything with a white (or light colored) background, I am so dazzled bu the screen that I can't see anything.
It would be useful if the printing output colors could be set to ignore any special colors set on the screen.
I have the same problem with Thunderbird. I can't print my emails.

Black background and white letters?

Lion 10.7.2 and iTunes 10.5 on a Mac Pro.
Everything has been fine until this morning when all of a sudden my background has changed color to black and the characters are white. I don't know what I did to cause this. More importantly, I don't have a clue on how to go back to a white background and black characters.
Thanks for any help.

Tom,
Thanks for the suggestion. However, while doing this does change the background on iTunes, it also flips the all the other windows to a black background and white characters. The only app that has the black background is iTunes, everything else is fine.

How do you restore the black background in safari top sites

How do I restore the black background in safari from the dull gray to an acceptable black?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
No. The general theory is that the pics are easier to edit against black.

How can I create a black background around a closeup of a flower?

I want to have some of my close-up pics of flowers on a black background. Is there a way to do this with aperture? I use aperture on both my iMac and Macbook Pro.
Thanks for any help.

One way is to use Select>Color Range
Make a new Color Fill Layer>White
(Layer>New Fill Layer>Solid Color)
Put a new color fill layer below>black
Just invert the layer mask on the top fill layer for the opposite effect.

Black background in itunes 11.0.2

up graded itunes to 11.o.2 on mt imac . when i opened itunes the background is black and the letters are white . i also upgraded my macbook that didn't happen .
how do i put the imac back to normal ?

Sorry, but that is indeed no longer possible. Apple for some unexplained (and unfathomable) reason removed that feature from iTunes 11. You can request that the put it back via their feedback page, if you wish:
