Changing JPG background to none/transparent.

I just switched from Quark 7 to Indesign CS5. In quark,the background color of black and white jpg could be changed to "none." This made the white background transparent. When 'none" is selected in Indesgn the white background remains white. Can a background color be changed to transparent in Indesign and how do you do it? Thanks

Blend mode set to multiply did an ok job. The problem is multiply makes the foreground color transparent and it is especially obvious when any other color is choosen other than black. In Quark the foreground color remained solid.
I work for a newspaper and do use tiffs with transparent backgrounds, but I use black and white jpegs when I don't want to go in and spend time removing a background in Photoshop. I can also change the foreground color without editing the actual image file. I never had any issues when it was printed.
Thanks for your help.

How to change the background of a transparent

Hi there,
I have a logo which ia transparent (psd file) that has some black color and I want to place it in a poster which has also black background color. So, I need to change the background color of this logo. I appreciate it if I can get some help. Thanks.

Is the black of the logo backgroud color on it's own layer? If so, you can lock the transparency of that layer and just fill it with a new color. Or you could clip a solid color layer to that layer which will allow you to edit it when ever you want to.
If it's not on it's own layer, you can use color range to select the black and use that to make a selection to fill a new layer with a color that would hide the black. Lots of ways to do this.

Save jpg or tiff with transparent background

How do you save a jpg image of something (ART) created with a transparent background so that it can be printed on fabric?

AppleWorks doesn't handle transparency well, even using formats such as .gif or .png saved with transparent backgrounds in another application. However, a few years ago I accidentally discovered that if an object is flipped or rotated in AppleWorks, the background will become transparent. The object doesn't even have to be .gif or .png & have transparency.
Once I discovered this, I used GraphicConverter to flip an image horizontally & save it as a PICT. Then I insert the object in my AppleWorks document & flip it back. I use PICT because it is the only graphic format that will retain the native resolution. All other graphic formats are changed to 72 dpi by AppleWorks.
Unfortunately, the last few times I tried this, it no longer worked. For myself, I use Pages for this kind of work now. I handles transparency very well.

Can I change the background color of a video thumbnail to view a silhouettes transparancy in Bridge

I see this question asked a ton on here, and never EVER am I finding an answer. I know in the past (Adobe CS 5) in Bridge you could view the transparency of a black silhouette image against a medium grey so you could see the content of the clip. Adobe changed that with CS 5.5 & on, and never seems to want to answer question when we members ask. PLEASE ADOBE ANSWER!!
How can I view a black silhouette image in Bridge when Adobe had decided to make the transparency black instead of grey? (Ideally the transparency of a video file should show as a grid as it does in ALL OTHER Adobe products.
PLEASE HELP. We use bridge heavily in production to organize our assets, and this change not being addressed kills our asset searching time because we have to open each clip to view it, rather than being able to preview it, which is what the Bridge is for.
Thanks.
P.S. Do not tell me how to change the programs background color as this is not the question. The question is how do I change the color of the transparency display for video clips.

Hi Peter
The associated FCM file provides us a clue as to Captivate's
pedigree. What we know today as Captivate is a product that was
born into the world and dubbed "FlashCam". This file contains
information about margins. So FCM means, FlashCam Margins.
If all you are doing is adjusting the colors a bit, you may
copy the associated files to new names. Then modify the colors as
desired and all should be well.
Cheers... Rick

The easiest way to do this is remove it from spaces in Mission control. Then when you access it with the F4 key you automatically have a transparent back ground.

Change the background colour of windows system-wide? (non B/W)

I have difficulty reading on a white background, but find the White on Black theme doesn't work for me either. The background colour which works best for me is #F9EEE2;. I can work for nearly twice as long in a window with that background colour.
So I prefer apps which allow me to change the background colour of their windows (e.g. [PathFinder|http://www.cocoatech.com>, [iTerm|http://iterm.sourceforge.net>, [Journler|http://wiki.journler.com/index.php?title=Main_Page], [OmniOutliner|http://www.omnigroup.com/products/omnioutliner>, [BBEdit|http://www.barebones.com/index.shtml], [TranslateIt|http://mac.gettranslateit.com>). I'll pay for this feature.
However, I often don't have the choice. For example, [PoEdit|http://www.poedit.net/index.php] is the only OSX-native gettext .po editor (since Snow Leopard killed Cocoa-Java and thus [LocFactoryEditor|http://www.triplespin.com/en/products/locfactoryeditor.html]) , so I have to use it. I asked the developer if he could add a preference to change the background colour of the window (PoEdit is Carbon). He replied that this sort of preference should be system-wide, shouldn't it?
From the Linux POV, yes, it should. Do we have that sort of option in OSX Snow Leopard? Previous OSX theme apps ShapeShifter and Mystique are respectively not yet compatible with OSX, and not available any more. I had a look at [ThemePark|http://www.geekspiff.com/software/themepark> (which does support 10.6), but don't know where to start in editing resource files. So what are our options for changing window background colour system-wide? (Or is there a Carbon plugin or library the PoEdit developer could use to embed that preference for his app.?)
Thanks for any help you can offer with this.

I asked a similar question before...as far as I know, there is no option to change this system-wide...short of creating a new color profile or using some hidden Terminal command.

How to make background of layer transparent so just the object shows up?....

Hi, I don't know if there's a way to do what I'm trying to but I'm trying to take a jpg picture that I uploaded onto my photoshop elements editor, then using the maze I have on microsoft word to make a maze out of the picture. I was able to paste the maze over the picture by using the over lay option for the 2nd layer and making it more transparent but the lines are getting too transparent also and you can't see some of the lines at all that is over white areas. Is there another way that I can make it so that the lines (of the maze) only show up and make it so the white background is totally transparent?
I'm also wondering how I can change the whole background color without affecting the picture or anything else. This is my first time playing with the elements editor, I was just thinking I guess I could make a botttom layer and make the layer the color I want or will it bleed through to the other layers or the other layers just cover it up? I really don't know what I'm doing and really don't know about these layers, I'm surprised I was able to do what I did.
Thank you for any suggestions or help.
IDK if I'm explaining this right so here is a link to the image.
Thanks

With this image, it will be easiest to select the white background.
1. I would recommend using the Quick Select Tool. Select the white background.
2. Because you want the lung guy on his own layer not the white background, you need to invert the selection. Select<Inverse.
3. Copy the lung guy onto his own layer. On PC, press ctrl + J. If on a Mac, the shortcut is cmd + J.
4. You can now copy/paste lung guy in the desired photo. Alternately, you can drag his layer from the layers palette and drop him into the other document. (If the resolution of lung guy doesn't match your image's resolution, he will shrink or expand as his layer will take on the resolution of the document he is moved into.)
Note: I would not use the lettering as you can see where the lung guy's image overlaps. It will be an easier project if you redo the lettering in Word or use the Photoshop Element's text tool...maybe with text warp and a layer style....to add the text.

Does ne1 now the html code to set a background image=non repeat, center for dreamweaver or where to find it?

Im trying to set up an about me page like that of myspace.com
i know that in myspace you can set the background image center non
repeat can this be done as will with dreamweaver?

Hello,
Yes, it can be done using CSS.
You can place this in your code, right before </head>.
Just substitute your image for mypicture.jpg.
<style type="text/css">

</style>
-OR-
You can also do this using DW's dialog boxes (like a wizard).
If you have DW8 or CS3...or MX2004 if memory serves, you can
right click on
your page in design view.
Select CSS Styles > New
A CSS Rule dialog box opens.
Select tag, then in the tag box, type body.
You can select whether you want to add the CSS to this page
(like the code
above) or to a stylesheet linked to this page. If you are
going to use CSS
on multiple pages, it's a good idea to use a stylesheet. Then
you can make
changes in one place that affects all the pages linked to
that stylesheet.
When you click OK, a new box will open where you can define
your CSS.
Select "background" from the sidebar, and the fill in areas
are pretty self
explanatory.
I hope that helps.
Take care,
Tim

How to color overlay on non-transparent pixels only?

So I need help to make a layer that is a solid color that overlays over everything underneath it but only applies to non-transparent pixels. Is there any way to do this?

Well see, there's a lot of layers underneath it and the things that I want the color to be overlayed on changes often because I only want a few layers shown at a time.
Here, let me try to explain. I made a .psd file with a bunch of characters for a video game. All of the characters have the same body but different heads. I made layers for the body and all of the heads (the background is transparent.) The base layers of the heads and body is grey and then I created layers above them that were color and applied an overlay that was only as big as the head/body for every color. This quickly became tedius because of how many heads there were and I thought since the head and body are supposed to be the same color anyway I might as well created a layer that's a solid color above the heads and bodies that overlays everything. However, the problem is that color also covers the background and I only want the parts of the character to be colored.
Also, what kind of adjustment layer? Would that still be applicable in this situation?

How to change desktop background in AppleScript in 10.7?

I'm just now upgrading from 10.6 to 10.7, and I'm having trouble with a script that I wrote that worked fine under 10.6. In part, it executes the following command:
     osascript -e "tell application \"Finder\" to set destop picture to POSIX file \"<path>\""
to change the desktop background image to one of two different files based on other conditions.
In 10.7, this command completes with no error code, but it only changes the background of one of my four desktops. Is there a way to programmatically change the background image of all of my desktops simultaneously? Failing that, is there a way to a) find out how many desktops I have and b) loop through them, setting each of their backgrounds in turn?
I did search the web and found the following suggestion:
     osascript -e "tell application \"System Events\" to set picture of every desktop to \"<path>\""
Unfortunately, that also changes only the current desktop's picture.
The larger script is in Perl, so I'd prefer a technology that works well with that language, but if I have to change to a different scripting language, that's not the end of the world.
Thanks much for any suggestions!

Actually, “repeat with k from 18 to (18 + N - 1)” was not a good idea, since it works only with N < 5, as I discovered after posting the script.
So here's an improved version of the previous script that should work with any number of desktops:
set theFile to POSIX file "/Library/Desktop Pictures/Isles.jpg" -- just an example
-- Find out how many desktops you have:
tell application "System Preferences"
    reveal anchor "shortcutsTab" of pane id "com.apple.preference.keyboard"
    tell application "System Events" to tell window "Keyboard" of process "System Preferences"
        set N to count (UI elements of rows of outline 1 of scroll area 2 of splitter group 1 of tab group 1 whose name begins with "Switch to Desktop")
    end tell
    quit
end tell
-- Loop through the desktops, setting each of their backgrounds in turn:
tell application "System Events" to key code 18 using {control down} -- Desktop 1
tell application "Finder" to set desktop picture to theFile
repeat (N - 1) times
    delay 1
    tell application "System Events" to key code 124 using {control down} -- ⌘→
    delay 1
    tell application "Finder" to set desktop picture to theFile
end repeat

An applescript to change the background color for all finder windows

I'll start off by telling you what I am trying to achieve, then show you what I've tried.
I have a macbook with several HDD's attached. what I want is for each of those hdd to have a specific finder window background color. so no matter where I am in that hdd the background color will always be the same. so for instance if I set the background color of hdd 2 to blue then as long as I see a blue background I know that I'm within hdd 2.
I've tried setting up an applescript to do this but can only get it to change the open finder window, and none of the subfolders have their backgrounds changed.
here is what I have so far:
tell application "Finder"
tell the icon view options of the front Finder window
set the background color to {52942, 54484, 31097}
end tell
end tell
so how do I get this to apply to all subfolders without opening each one and running the script.
thanks in advance for any and all help with this

According to this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AppleScript/2.1/en/as2039.html
it seems that the various options can only be set while the window is open and in icon view.
Rather than manually opening the window of every single folder on the hard drive, it should be possible to write a script to open every folder in sequence, make sure it is in icon view, change its background, then close its window. I have never been any good at the "actions within actions" procedure needed for folders within folders, so maybe someone else with the necessary knowledge and experience might be able to assist in this regard. Such a script would probably take a few minutes to complete while it ran through "every folder of every folder", but it sure would be quicker to have the process automated than to do it by hand - computers are really good at repetitive tasks (as long as the instructions are accurate, of course!).
On the other hand, you might like to try the following:
open a few windows in icon view, choose Show View Options in the View menu (I'm in System 10.4), click the radio button All Windows, click the Color radio button under Background, then choose your color. It might achieve what you are trying to do.

How to change the background color of a cell in datagrid using flex3

i want to change the background color of a cell.....how can i achieve this.....and also i want to know how a spacing cane be done between cells in a datagrid...plzzz help me???

The only way I can see to do this is to use an item renderer for your cells. This is really scruffy and would need tyding up, and maybe with a little more time could do better or someone else may have an idea but none the less this works.
Define a custom component as below;
This has logic to see what the value of the data is proveided by the dataprovider for the row, and if it matches the conditions in this case is equal to 5 sets the background color.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Canvas xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" width="88" height="26" dataChange="doColor()" borderColor="#000000" borderStyle="solid"
    backgroundAlpha="1">
    <mx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            private function doColor():void {
                if (data.value == 5) {
                    setStyle('backgroundColor', 0xcccccc);
                } else {
                    setStyle('backgroundColor', 0xffffff);
        ]]>
    </mx:Script>
</mx:Canvas>
Now just apply the item renderer in the datagrid and that will do it.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" xmlns:ns1="*">
    <mx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;
            [Bindable]
            private var ac:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection([
                {value : 1},
                {value : 2},
                {value : 3},
                {value : 4},
                {value : 5},
                {value : 6},
                {value : 7},
                {value : 8},
                {value : 9},
                {value : 10}
      ]]>
    </mx:Script>
    <mx:DataGrid x="40" y="36" width="408" height="193" dataProvider="{ac}">
        <mx:columns>
            <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Column 1" dataField="value" itemRenderer="MyComp"/>
            <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Column 2" dataField="col2"/>
            <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Column 3" dataField="col3"/>
        </mx:columns>
    </mx:DataGrid>
</mx:Application>
I hope this helps

Is it possible to change the background of Web Dynpro Views in MDE apps ?

Hi Team,
Is it possible to change the Background color of Web Dynpro Views in Mobile Device applications ?
I have been able to change the cellBackgroundDesign from Transparent o fill1 etc and this change is visible in the desktop application.
But whenever; I am running this application in Mobile Device, the color change is not visible.
Also, there is an earlier post given by me for changing the color of rows in Table UI in SAP SRS Mobile Device Enabled.
Color code logic not feasible in Pocket Browser
Our Mobile Devices are:
http://emobilescan.co.uk/downloads/manuals/ppt8800.pdf
The OS is: Windows 2003
and the Browser is: Pocket Browser.
Please give me in any suggestion which I can implement to see the background color change w.r.t, Mobile Devices.
Thanks & Regards
