Black background on imported images

I have imported a few images that have blank backgrounds (.png images for instance), and iPhoto automatically puts them on a black background. This is fine except for when the image is black, and in that case, you can't see the image. Can I change the background color?

hotwls:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Those png files have transparency layers and which show up as black when displayed in iPhoto. When added to other documents or printed the background of the paper or other documents will show thru. To change them export them to the desktop changing the format to jpg and the transparent layer will change to white.
The other formats that can contain transparency layers are gifs and Photoshop.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Black background when scaling images with transparent background

I am implementing Zooming functionality for reports which have some icons. I am trying to scale icon by scaling its image. But the problem I am facing is that the icons have transparent background and the scaling puts a black background in place of transparent. Is there any way to maintain its transparency or better yet, Is there anyway to put a white backgound instead of the black one that is created by default ? Here is my code
     public static Icon getScaledIcon(Icon icon){
         if(icon instanceof ImageIcon){
              Image outImage = ((ImageIcon)icon).getImage();
                  return new ImageIcon(getScaledImage(outImage));
         }else{
              Image outImage = new BufferedImage(icon.getIconWidth(),
                        icon.getIconHeight(),
                        BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
                JComponent comp = new JComponent(){};
                icon.paintIcon(comp, outImage.getGraphics(), 0, 0);
                return new ImageIcon(getScaledImage(outImage));
    public static Image getScaledImage(Image image){
         image = image.getScaledInstance((int)(image.getWidth(null) * getScale()),
                       (int)(image.getHeight(null) * getScale()), Image.SCALE_SMOOTH);
        return image;
    }I haven't done much image manipulation , so I would really appreciate any help or advice.

I have also not done much of image work. But I guess you could achieve your functionality of showing scaled image in the screen by not scaling the image and show it, instead scale the image in paint method by calling g.drawImage giving the height and width. But use high resolution images so that scaling is good.
If you do in this manner, you could give any colour you want as background to fill the transparent area or leave it as such.

Black background in transparant images

Let me 1st explain what is happening.
1/ Place a Photoshop image with transparent background in Illustrator.
2/ Save a 1.5 pdf (or higher).
3/ Open the pdf in Acrobat, select the image, copy it.
4/ Open Photoshop, make new image and past the image you copied b4 from Acrobat.
You will see that the transparency is filled in with a black color.
Why is this?
And can this be changed, so i can have a whit background?
Thanks

I don't imagine you will be able to copy and paste an image with
transparency. Maybe using the Object Touch-up Tool in Acrobat Pro to
open the image directly in Acrobat will preserve the transparency, but
not if it was done with a clipping path.

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

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?

How to eliminate background of an image while Maintaining semi-transparent mid-ground.

Sorry if the topic name is slightly inaccurate or if my question seems amaturish, I'm fairly new to using PS. For a project I would like to delete the black background of this image http://calibermag.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/2534069-Action-Bronson-617.jpg and replace it with another background, however I would like to keep the smoke that's lingering over the background. Are there any techniques or tools I could use to delete the background and the black behind the smoke without directly effecting the smoke?

That image will respond well to the [Refine Edge] feature.
Basically, select the dude with e.g., the Quick Select Tool, then use Refine Edge and paint the Refine Radius Tool over the smoke.
This tutorial gives the technique in some detail. The technique shown works in the most current version of Photoshop.

Smoke isn't too terribly different, conceptually, than hair.

JAI - Saved image has black background (unless screen config is True Color)

Hi!
I'm trying to save images using JAI's codecs. Everything is okay if screen config is True Color, but if in 256 colors (or even in 65536 colors) the background of my images looks very dark...
Can you please have a look at the code bellow (and try it with some different screen configs). I'm really stuck with that issue; any suggestion may help...
NOTE:
- I've noticed this problem when using JAI's jpeg codec.
- The problem occurs with both JDK 1.3 and 1.4.
- The problem does not occur (only) if screen config is True Color.
- You must rerun the code after changing screen config.
Thanks for help...

Black background for transparent PNG images - Xcelsius 2008 SP4

Hi Experts,
I am using Xcelsius 2008 SP4. I have used Image component to show a PNG image with transparent background. When I export the flash, the image is being shown with a black background.
In Xcelsius 2008 SP3, this problem was not there. I am facing this issue after installing SP4.
Did anyone else face similar issue ? Is there any workaround ?
regards,
pasg

Hi all,
I was facing the very same issue. I succeeded in finding a solution to it. This is happening coz of the dimension and pixels of the .png image. I imported the image in the image component, which had the dimensions, 175 x 70, and was of 9.26 kb and the black background was visible. I then changed the dimension of the image to 428 x 140, and 19.2 kb (double the size), and VOILA!! to my surprise IT WORKED !
Don’t forget to “check” the “embed file” and “Hide SWF Background Color” check boxes in the image component's, general tab.
Try the same, I hope this helps.
Regards,
Sara

Help: I have a globe image with a black background...how to...

Hi,
I have a simple Earth globe image with a black stars background. I'd like to cut out the black background and get this all white....basically id like just the globe visible with no background.
http://www.ingerreime.no/inger/Images/globe.tiff
I know this is newbie question, but i have no idea how to do it. Please don't tell me i have to get photoshop???
Thanx!
David

Dave:
Terence isn't the jerk in this thread. He's was just attempting to give you a solution you can run yourself instead of having it given to you.
GraphicConverter can create a transparent file, a gif. Try the following workflow:
1 - first convert the file to a gif (use 89a) and save and reopen.
2 -select the Magic Pen and set it's sensitivity to about 40 (double click on it will bring up the setting pane).
3 - click on the black background to select all of the black.
4 - select to the Edit->Make Selection Transparent menu option.
5 - save the file.
The black will turn to a checkerboard pattern indicating transparency. If you anticipate a lot of advance editing I suggest you look at Photoshop Elements. I find it much more powerful than GC and it supports layers which is a very powerful too. Here's an example of some of the advanced editing you can do with it.
Do you Twango?

Using binarize... Getting Tiff Image in Black Background..

Hi,
Basically my subject summarizes my problem, but I am trying to write some text to a blank JPEG file and then create a Tiff file from that JPEG...
But When i use the binarize i am getting the image as black background and the resolution is not that great...
I am using binarize, because i need to use TIFFEncodeParam.COMPRESSION_GROUP4 but i was getting bi-level error, that is why i am using binarize to create a GROUP4 with black and white color to minimize the file size...
I am posting the source code, i would appreciate someone can take a look at this code and figure out why i am getting black background...in the tiff file...
Any help will be greatly appreciated...
Thanks in advance...

Printing black background on paper, instead of actual image

hi,
i am having a JPanel with some photos drawn on it using g.drawImage(..) method, for printing. while running the program the panel is showing fine on the screen. since in my room as i dont have a printer, i am printing with adobe printer in which the content to be printed will be saved as pdf file.
Even the created pdf file while printing is showing perfectly what is supposed to be printed. but when i tried the same program and asked to print on real printer, strangely only a large full black background is printed on paper instead of the image.
plz explain why such thing is happening.
thanx.

Why cant I see image I am placing on black background?

I am trying to design a postcard with one image on a black background. I've made the area black w/rectangle tool and when i physically place image I cannot see it. Ive tried to move it to front? What am I doing wrong? Any help on resizing images would be helpful also. When I "placed" the image it was huge so I used the "transform" to reduce its size. How will this effect resolution? What is proper way to import image that you need to make smaller but maintain ratios? Many novice questions, I'd be grateful for help and answers.

Here is the 72 ppi warning.
Then I went to check what you suggested and here's what I found.
and the link
which isn't a linked image?
I am trying to do something that seems so simple, an image from a .jpg on a black background???? I just cant get the 300 dpi like they say I need
to do. I am far from a computer genius and screwed up the last postcard I made so I've got to get this right.
I appreciate any and all the help.

Hello everybody,
we have updated cisco prime infrastructure from 1.3 to 2.0. When we now import a floor plan (autocad-file, dwg-format), the background from finally image, that is show in prime, is black. Previous imported floor planes has a white background. We also tried to import a previous imported floor plan again, the background is now black. Is there a possibilty to change the background to white? Thanks

Hi,
Look no further, these issues are related to know bugs. It seems that autocad files have multiple issues with PI 2.0, Only feasible way is to convert them to JPGs and import them. Lets hope these will get fixed to the level they where at PI 1.3.

Symptom:
When dwg files are imported to Prime Infrastructure, they report
"For Demonstration Purposes only

None at this time

Symptom:
On PI 2.0 when we try to import autoCAD .dwg file to map, the map appears in black background.
Conditions:
On PI 2.0 when we try to import autoCAD .dwg file to map
Workaround:
use 3rd party tool like Draftsight or AutoCAD Trueview to change the file to .jpg and import again to PI, after that the map appear in white background in PI 2.0.
Further Problem Description:
However, the same .dwg file when we imported it to PI 1.3 appear in map with white background.

I am working in pages with a template and want to keep the image but get rid of the black background?

Surprise surprise but we can't see what you are looking at and referring to.
What black background?
If it is black background in the actual photo:
