change background to white on headshot. new to iPhoto. thanks

That's not a feature of iPhoto. You'll need an external editor for that kind of work:
In order of price here are some suggestions:
Seashore (free)
The Gimp (free)
Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
Acorn ($50 approx)
Pixelmator ($50 approx)
Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store.
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

  • Change Background to White & Text To Black

    Hello,
    I am trying to use FCP7 to change my background to white (rather than black) and my text to white.
    I used View -> Background -> White and then changed my text colour to white.
    Everything seems fine in my timeline, and is rendered.
    But when I go to Export video, the export has a blackbackground and no text.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Marc

    Thanks Nick, I asked a friend about Color Matte. You were right. The next step is chose Color Solid then change that color from blue to white. Then add a new track and insert slug with the white color matte and all is good! Thanks!

  • Need to change background to white

    I need to change backgrounds of jpg files to white.  Can someone tell me how to do this?  I use Photoshop CS4.  I am a novice woth Photoshop.

    Sounds like you want to select your subject then remove the background.  This is a fairly common operation, for example to put subjects on different backgrounds (different in your case is white).
    See this video by Russell Brown for ideas on masking a subject from a background:

  • 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 .

  • Why hasn't the crashing of iBooks been addressed?  You cannot read a book as it crashes after every 3 or 4 pages, dims for no reason and changes background from white to dark.  Please address our issues.  Using iPad Air. Thank you

    iiBook, iPad Air, repeatedly crashes since recent iOS updates.

    We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you are not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
    What, if anything, have you tried to see if it fixes it e.g. closing the app via the iPad's taskbar, soft-reset, turning Settings > iBooks > Online Content 'off', backing up (and copying purchases over to your computer's iTunes library) and restoring ?
    For the brightness and background, what settings do you have i.e. if you open a book and tap the AA icon at the top right do you currently have 'auto-night theme' set 'on' ?

  • How to change transparent PDF background into white background?

    Hi all, I have some text documents in PDF format and would like to edit it in photoshop CS5, but each time I open them up in photoshop, the background seems to be transparent (tiny grey and white tiles), which is very eye tiring when editing/annotating with a wacom pen, how to fill the background total white? Thanks.

    Ah, easy one. Create a new layer{Layer>New Layer}, then fill it with a color{Edit>Fill}Change content of the fill box to a color of your choosing.
    If you have windows the short cut for filling with foreground is alt-backspace and filling with background is ctrl-backspace. Short cut for fill dialog box is shift-backspace or shift-F5.
    A faster way to create a new layer is to use the icon just to the right of the trashcan at the bottom of the layers panel.
    A bit over winded in directions, but once you learn the shortcuts, it will be a snap to do.

  • How do I change background color to white when looking at single image?

    I know I can go to 'preferences' and choose white backgrounds but this changes only the background of the page that shows all my photos together. If I select one photo to view, the background turns to black again - as it does if I view an image at screen size. Can I change these backgrounds to white? I think black ***** the life out of images and makes them appear smaller and would prefer to always see my images against white, as in a book. Since I work with images and colours this is very important to me.

    As I’m sure you recall from your careful reading of the Terms of Service you agreed to when you joined the Apple Discussions, this is a User to User forum. Apple aren’t here. They don’t promise to read anything here. If you want to ask Apple something you’ll need to do it elsewhere.

  • Template page width changed background now grey and white

    I am using a beginners template from codify design studio and I was asked to make the top of the page 100%. AFter that the right side shows grey where there is no text and no contianers. I tried figuring it out by looking at the code (comparing the original to the changed code); but I cannot see what the problem is or what I can do to fix it. I also tried to make the background tile white and that did not work. Here is the index:

    Hi,
    You need to give us the link to your site because pasting the code as you are doing is not the way because we can't see the code from the picture of your site (except that there is something wrong!).  Could you post a link to your site so that this can be resolved.  It is a matter of centering your container/wrapper so that there is an equal amount of space on both sides and we can also tell you to enter the code manually to make the empty space white (rather than gray).
    Hope this helps.

  • New tabs in safari also changes background tab?

  • IOS 7 background is white, I changed to black now my wallpaper and photos color and clarity gone!! How do I fix that

    Since I inverted the color on the background from white to black my wallpaper and photos are messed up in color and clarity, what happened, how do I fix that!

    I've installed iOS 7 on an iPhone 4 and I notice that in Search the keyboard displays with black keys but the all white Mail interface has a white (and quite bright) keyboard.  So why can't the Mail keyboard also be black? Furthermore, why are such aspects of the interface not even customizable at this point in the evolution of the software?
    One solution, use the option to 'invert colors' found in the Accessibility settings under Settings > General . That's a nice way to dim the overall interface, especially useful when using the phone in a dark place or for a more gentle viewing experience when reading or using the phone in low light, until you realise that by inverting colors, it flips your wallpaper image from a positive image to a negative one. Really? Come on, this stuff is elementary.
    Neither of these points prevent using the older device with the new IOS smoothly, but they stand out as annoyances for the older hardware that makes it feel more elegant in previous versions of the iOS. 
    Plenty of Apps allow customizeable interfaces when it comes to keyboard colors, brightness and scaling text. Apple's iOS has all the elements but lacks implementing them for user customization. Stuff like this seems like left over items not addressed before launching the product.

  • Change menus to black background and white text (not invert colors option)?

    I have an iPhone 5 on the way to me as I got one for a very good price. I am visually impaired. I currently have a Samsung Galaxy s3 which is crapping out on me after having it for a long time). One of the features I love about it is, the menus (settings, contacts, etc etc) are in high contrast (black background with white text, which is much easier on my eyes and easier to read. It is my understandiing that the iPhone is not the same way. I had a friend look on his, and the only option he found was the "Invert colors" option. The reason I don't want to use that is because it inverts ALL colors for everything on the phone, including pictures. t just want to invert the colors in all the menus so I can read them easier. Is there any way to do this? BTW it's running IOS 8.

    the invert colors option is the only way to achieve that on iPhone currently
    you should go to http://www.apple.com/feedback/ and request that feature added, I think a lot of people would use that

  • How to change background color in online editor

    How to change background color in online editor

    Jeff,
    if you try to change all the plsql keywords to the same background color (that is not either white or black or blue) via the options panel in SQL Developer (Code Editor > PLSQL syntax colors), you will get the new background color in the worksheet only for the areas with plsql text, while the areas without any text will have the same background color as the base color scheme you started with. This means that there is no way to change the "general background" color via the options panel, but you have to use the same background color of one of the predefined color schemes.
    This seems to me a bug, but probably it's not considered high priority, so it will not be fixed for the time being.
    I would like to stress the fact that being able to change the color scheme of the development environment that you use every day about 8 hours a day can make quite a difference on your eyes at the end of the day.
    Thanks,
    Paolo

  • Why is the Artboard background color white in June 2014 release?

    After opening Illustrator after the upgrade of the CC suite, the Artboard background is white like the artboard itself. So I can only see the borders of the Artboard when I am in Artboard edit mode. Is this a new feature? How can I reset the Artboard background to gray or black?

    It's funny because when I went back into Illustrator to make that change, it was back to a dark background. Thanks for the reply, though.
