Change Background Colour from White to Cream

Hello,
I have shot a large number of tutorial videos. These videos have a pure white background behind the talent. However, I would like to change the background colour to a less harsh cream/very light grey colour. I have attached the image of the talent in front of the white background.
I have tried using the colour key effect in the Premier Pro CS6 program. I selected the white background to key it out. And then placed a .psd file of the cream/light grey colour behind the video to show through. However, the talent has white areas in her dress, and white areas in between strands of her hair are not keying out. This alongside movement of her hands creates a brief white trail after them, making the whole effect look somewhat unprofessional.
Is there a way to achieve this effect to change the white background whilst still maintaining the 'professional' integrity of the video? Would a filter effect of a slight grey shade be possible? Or are there less invasive ways to achieve this effect for just the background? Your help will be very much appreciated!
Kind regards,
Rajen

Magic Bullet wont do this task. It has no secondaries or keying / masking capability.
On the other hand - Da Vinci Resolve definitely has all the tools to do it.
Possibly Speedgrade does as well. ( Dont know because I gave upon it!)
Worth looking at in PPRO would be a duplicate video layer with a grade and then a blend effect (probably screen with opacity)
It would be some trial and error. It always is with composite and fx..

I have dyslexia and use the color yellow as a background to the majority of the documents I read, however there is no option to change the background colour from white to yellow. Is there a way of making PDF backgrounds a different color?

I would really appreciate it if someone could assist me on this problem - it would make my life so much easier. I am a specialist infection prevention nurse and am constantly having to refer to PDF documents, I usually have to print each of these lengthy documents onto yellow paper (which at times I consider a waste of paper) I would much prefer to be able to read them on my laptop.
Thanks

Try this: Go to Edit - Preferences - Accessibility and tick the Change Document Colors box. Then select the Custom Color option and you'll be able to select your own page and text colors. This might not work for all documents (like scanned ones), but it should help with most...

Change background colour for iTunes 9 (70) on Mac OS 10.5.8

I want to change the background colour from white to black on iTunes 9 (70). When i tried using the iTunes preferences General Tab I did not get the option available to change the background colour.I tried looking for software updates as maybe iTunes 9 (70) is out of date but my Mac told me there weren't any!
This feature would be very useful to a friend of mine who is registered blind so any help would be appreciated lots. Thnx.

Thank you, that download installed without a problem. It also installed Safari 4.0.2, which still had to be upgraded to 4.0.3. Now iTunes 9 is happy and can access the iTunes store, so I can get my Podcasts again.
Life is good.
Thanks,
Mark

Another question. How do you bookmark something. It was so easy before, why did they change it? Can I uninstall it?

Why can't i change background colour and choose different themes in iphoto 9.4.3?

I am trying to create an iphoto book as I have done in the past. I am now using iphot 11 9.4.3 and it doesn't give me different themes and I can't change background colours in the book like I can with 9.4.2

It looks like you'll have to reinstall iPhoto go get the themes back. To reinstall iPhoto:
On all Macs running Snow Leopard or Earlier
1 - delete the current application and, , all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the:
(10.5 and earlier) - HD/Library/Receipts folder
or from the
(10.6) - /var/db/receipts/ folder
On all Macs with Lion or Later Pre-installed
Deleting receipts is not necessary if your Mac came with Lion or later preinstalled.
Finally re-install iPhoto from the source it came from originally:
1 - (10.6 or earlier) from the disks that came with the Mac or an iLife disk.
2 - (10.7 or later) from the App Store .

Change background colour IOS 7 messenger

Is there a way to change background colour in messenger to a less glaring white?

You're welcome. Wish I had better news. You can adjust some of the contrast,text size,and bold text under settings general,accessibility. But that wouldn't address the background color itself.

Changing background colour of pdf to white to save ink when printing

I am a Uni student and study from home. I have to print my lecture notes (always in PDF) so i can follow with the lecture online. But the tutor always uses a bright colourful background which looks great but sucks the ink out of my printer. How do i change the background colour of the pdf's she makes us print off to white to save on ink?

If the background color is a layer, try the following
click View | Show/Hide | Navigation Pane | Layers
use the Layers pane to hide the background color

Dw Change table background colour from hex to rgb impossible

If you want to change the background colour (properties) in a table from HEX to RGB, it is impossible, because the buttons are without function.
Is this a bug? Or is this intended?

Don't forget the A for alpha-transparency
.your_table_rule { background-color: rgba(255,255,195,0.5); }

Enhance<Adjust Color<Remove Color Cast
Look at image and try to figure out what should be white, gray,or black. Click that area with the color cast dropper. Below is a video showing how to use the color cast tool.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Roinm3J3GjI&feature=player_embedded
I think from your post that it is safe to assume that you used levels. Basically, you first click on something you know is white with the white dropper; then click on something you know is black with the black dropper; finally find something that is gray and click on it with the gray dropper. Note: You may want to go through and set target colors for the levels droppers to customize how they react. See the written tutorial links at the end of this post.
Levels is covered at about 5:15 of video in video linked below. Note: It's a Photoshop video. It works the same way in Elements.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLKc61tM5b4
The above video gives several methods. It is a Photoshop video but several of these methods can be used in Elements. Elements has a color cast tool that is not included in Photoshop so isn't covered in this. Disregard Match Color method and Curves method as Elements does not include these commands. (This tutorial also mentions using the fade command. Elements does not include this command. You can reduce the opacity of a duplicate layer on which you apply the variations command and use the layer's opacity to "fade" the result. If you go that route.)
Several Photoshop Elements videos on the subject are here:
