Change background colour in Photos app

Hi there,
Just updated the OS and iPhoto has been replaced by Photos app. How do I set the background colour to my preferred dark grey, rather than the garish and interfering white? I can't find the settings to do this, have checked Views and Preferences.
Whilst on layout view, is  there a way to permanently switch on the titles? I've ticked titles in the metadata option, but the titles only show in a pale and fuzzy grey when you actually hover on the image. It's a dog's dinner and really unhelpful! If this is the only view 'option', the new app is entirely redundant as a useful photo manager. I hope Apple haven't just forced me to use the Adobe alternative.
Could Apple please employ a working photographer to aid the design and not an (anti) design pedagogue, please.

You're wanting a consumer app that's more geared for mobile devices to do what professional apps do normally.
Tell Apple what additional features you want in Photos via both http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html and http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html  since they don't have a feedback page for Photos as yet.
However, you should look into professional DAM (digital asset management) apps.  I use Media Pro 1 as my primary  DAM app and iPhoto for special projects like books, calendars, etc.
Information about other DAM apps can be found at  The DAM Forum.

  • 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 the color for a calendar
    Each calendar that you add to your device is assigned a color to help you differentiate between events. You can customize the colors of your calendars to suit your taste.
    In the Calendar app, swipe down from the top of the screen.
    Tap  Settings > Calendar Colors.

  • 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.

  • Which app can change background in a photo

    Which app can change background in a photo

    I do not believe that an app can do what you want to do. In order to save part of an image and then get rid of the rest of the image, you need to outline the part to ba saved with a mouse and a cursor. That part is then saved as a layer and the remaining part of the picture deleted. You can look at photo editing programs for use on a computer to do this type of work. You may want to talk with some professional photographers to see which programs they like.

  • PSE9, how to change background colour?

    Hi
    I was shown how to change the background colour using....and this is where it all goes wrong!!
    I have taken a photo on a hi key background but there are slight colour variations due to shadow. I was shown how you can change the background colour to a consistent white using tool that allowed you to choose black,grey and white point but at this moment in time maybe a bit of bbq alcohol and age are preventing me from remembering how to do this....any ideas, please?
    Cheers

    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:

  • How to change background color in iPhoto app?

    Hi, I have spend 20 hours creating a large iPhoto Book on the IPad2 iPhoto app. I want to cahnge the background colour of everypage from white to black. Can this be done, and if so, how?  Thank you.

    I don't know much about iPhoto at all, but after a very brief look, it appears as though if you tap on the icon in the upper right part of the screen that looks like a page with the upper right corner turned down, the resulting window has a Background option with an arrow next to it. Tap the arrow and select black as the color in the next window.

  • Changing background colour of W995 (when you don't have wallpaper)?

    Hello,
    If i set my phone to have no wallpaper the background colour for the main screen is grey.  Sorry if this is a dumb question, but does anyone know how to change this to black?  I think it was black to start with but somehow it got changed and I can't see a straightforward way of setting it back to black using the Display options because on my phone (W995) there is option here for colour change.
    Many thanks for any help anyone can offer

    What I really want to do is to set the background to black, then have a picture that i've taken in landscape as my wallpaper.  Because it's in landscape some of the background is still seen at the top and bottom and i want this to be black rather than grey.  I'm sure it was before, I just find it crazy that it has changed and there is no easy or obvious way to change it back - especially as the default setting must have been black.  I tried doing a reset of setting but it still came up as grey, even though I had to reset the time and date and so on.
    I wish they just had a menu so you could select a background colour, but it seems that doesn't exist.  Sorry to be seeming so difficult, because I appreciate your suggestions - I should have explained before that it isn't so much that I want a black wallpaper as a black background to put an image on top of as wallpaper.
