Changing The Background Of An Image...

Hello!
I have an album cover (a CD, really) that I need to change the background color of. How can this be done via Photoshop CS3?
Thanks!

One place to start would be to try and isolate the foreground by using the Magic Wand or Quick Selection tool. If the object is too comlex you could use one of the Lasso tools. The Magnetic Lasso is good for organic objects and the Polygonal Lasso is good for objects with straight edges. If you have a tablet, You could try and tighten up some edges by using the normal Lasso.
Finally right click the selection, choose Select Inverse so that you're slecting only the background. Then right click the selction again and choose Layer Via Copy and change the color of the new background layer by going to Image > Adjustments > Hue Saturation:

T-Shirt designing #2: How do I change the background of my image?

Using CS6...
I'm also using the t-shirt template.
On my screen is a t-shirt with a small rectangle inside of it. And another large rectangle beside it. I plan on making my image inside of the large rectangle (which is also the guide).
Right now it is white but I would like to change it to different colors and I would need for this color to be part of the image once completed. I tried clicking on stuff (everything is highlighted) but the background color within the guide never changes.
Can someone provide the steps?
Sincerely,
Rookie

Wdautrion, Christ-Guard, others,
I originally skipped this thread because I assumed it was about the specifics of certain T-Shirt templates, based on the related #1 thread.
However, its seemingly going on and on made me finally read it, and ponder. I believe a few things are worth adding, even if it may seem too long already.
As I read the OP, it is simply a question about a rectangular Guide (a Guide that was originally created as a rectangle) which may seem to have a white fill and the wish to switch to another colour, to form a background that is part of the artwork.
Had I read the OP before anything else had happened, I believe my answer would (just as simply) have been something like:
Guides are non printing, and they have no fill. You can see that if you View>Show (Transparency) Grid.
To get a corresponding coloured rectangular fill that forms part of the artwork, you may:
1) Drag with the rectangle Tool from the top left to the bottom right of the Guide rectangle,
2) Set the fill colour as desired and no Stroke,
3) Lock the rectangle to avoid selecting it (until the artwork is finished).
There are other ways, but I should prefer this to others that may require more explanation (such as a few involving releasing of the Guide).
Other aspects of the thread are ways of learning, and of efforts/attitudes, including using the manual/helpfile.
It is worth mentioning that the link in post #11 refers to only three out of four learning styles (VAK instead of VARK), the fourth being reading & writing. This is (just) one of many models, as it appears from this Wikipedia article (which also leaves the forurth one out):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning_styles#Neil_Fleming.27s_VAK.2FVARK_model
A fuller VARK explanation may be seen here:
http://psychology.about.com/od/educationalpsychology/a/vark-learning-styles.htm
I mention this because there is a crucial difference between visual and reading & writing, which I believe is important for this thread.
Whichever faith anyone may have in such models, I believe there are significant differences in how different people learn.
I also believe that no learning style should be frowned upon.
I am convinced that some of the difficulties in mutual understanding, and in writing/reading posts, arise from such differences.
With regard to efforts/attitudes, it is important to work smarter, not harder,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Performance_consulting
but what that means rather depends on learning and working style(s). What is best and most efficient for one may appear as laziness, or as hard work, or as silliness, for another.
Also, it may be argued that, depending on the actual task, the use of some features/procedures, maybe especially some of the easy ones in later versions, may be considered either efficiency or laziness/sloppiness.
With regard to using the manual/helpfile, RTFM is a small effort for some, a greater or even forbidding one for others. Probably most would agree that it is much easier to use when you get used to to it and/or have known Illy for a while and know your way round.
I only remember one instance, in another forum, with a poster actually declaring himself that he was lazy; and he was gently and friendly but clearly told to work on his attitude, which he agreed upon.
You may say that all this is easy for me to say, because I am lucky to actually enjoy the challenge of finding ways to brídge differences and difficulties in learning, here and elsewhere. Some of what I do is to help and teach across styles. One recent urgent and pleasant challenge was a mid afternoon phone call from a carpenter about a simple crude (too) steep staircase/(step)ladder fitting a certain space; he was completely at a loss. I asked when he was going to build it, and the answer was: "Now". He was on the site, and all he had to work with were some leftover 45x245 mm rafters. I asked for the height from floor to floor (total rise) (2230 mm) and the available horizontal space (containing the total going and then a bit) (1500 mm); 10 minutes later, I could tell him an adapted/failsafe way to shape the stringboards and place the steps, with only four measures to mark, the rest being pure carpentry work, devised while getting the measures from a quick drawing with the help of Illy, of course. He fitted the staircase precisely and was happy (as was the customer), and baffled.
In any case, now I said it.

Help me change the background image

I just installed my copy of iWeb. The first thing I did after selecting a template was try to change the background.
I hit the inspector button, found the tab with the background stuff, selected image fill, fit to size, and chose my photo. And nothing happened.
Then I hit the media button, selected photos, dragging a photo to the background image in the inspector and nothing happened.
What is the secret to changing the background image?
Thanks.

I tried to delete everything but the background image that comes with the template and iWeb still refuses to change to anything I want to change it to.
Any ideas? The application doesn't seem to be working for me.
Also if I save a file, where on the local HDD does it get saved? When I hit save iWeb didn't allow me to set a file name, it apparently just saved the document somewhere in a place that I cannot find.
I want to be able to do some quick down and dirty web pages and then bring them into Dreamweaver at a later date and FTP them to the web.

I have trouble reading in Black and White. changing the background color for all

I have trouble reading in Black and White. On my PC I can change the background color (and I am not just talking about for a word or pages document) but for eveything so anything that was a white background I can put in what ever color I like but it still prints in Black and white.. I can't see how to do this on the Macbook air. on my PC I do this in display. Sort of putting colored film over the screen I dont know what to do. Can anyone help?

Hello Floridamacbookpro,
You may be interested in the 'invert colors' Accessibility feature. This can be invoked by pressing the Control, Option, Command, and 8 keys on your keyboard. This only affects your display, and does not have any affect on printed items.

How can I change the background color of my podcast's iTunes page?

My RSS feed just got accepted but now I need to customize the title, author, background color, and logo of my site. Does anyone know how to do this? Thank you!

You can't change the background colour - it's white for audio and black for video. The other data can be changed by changing the appropriate tag in the feed, or if you're using a program or online service to make your podcast,. wherever they provide for entering this information.
The title is carried in the 'title' tag; the author in the 'itunes:author' tag, and the 'podcast image' which appears on the Store page in the 'itunes: image' tag. Republish the feed after making the amendments: it will take a couple of days for the new data to appear, though the image may take several days.
The image which appears in some podcasts in the bottom left-hand corner of iTunes when subscribing is not referenced in the feed but has to be actually embedded into the media file: please see this page:

How do I change the background color of a BufferedImage?

I have a program and basically what I am doing is drawing on a BufferedImage object and then painting that BufferedImage object onto the panel. By default, the background is black and it draws in white. I am easily able to change the colour for drawing by doing g2.setColor(Color.RED) for example where g2 is the Graphics2D object created by image.createGraphics(). I tried g2.setBackground(Color.WHITE) and that did not work.
If more information is needed, just ask.
Any help in changing the background colour of the BufferedImage would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Here is a mini-code with comments explaining my trouble:
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
public class TestBuff extends JPanel
    Graphics2D g2;
    BufferedImage image;
    public TestBuff()
        JFrame frame = new JFrame();
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
        frame.setSize(800,800);
        frame.add(this);
        frame.setVisible(true);
        image = new BufferedImage(800,800,BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
        g2 = image.createGraphics();
        g2.setBackground(Color.RED); // I am setting the background colour here
    protected void paintComponent(Graphics g)
        g.drawImage(image, 0, 0, g2.getBackground(), this); // Why is this black instead of red?
    public static void main(String[] args)
        new TestBuff();
}

How do I change the background color to black? I'd like Photoshop's generated web gallery to display photos against a black background.

I can't find a place to change the background to black from white. I'd like Photoshop's automated web gallery feature to show photos against a black background once I open the htm file inside Firefox. I use a Mac with OS 10.6.7 (current) on my 27-in. iMac. Thanks very much

There are often many ways to do things, and c.pfaffenbichler's suggestion above is good.
However, as I'm very fond of Curves, I'd use Image - Adjust - Curves (or Layer - New Adjustment Layer - Curves) myself, and pull the black point of the blue curve up.

How do I change the background color of the pages?

I have been having trouble finding how to change the background color of the pages. I would prefer a black background.
thanks

Do you know how to edit the template? If not simply choose a rectangle shape, change colour to Black and using ARRANGE, send to back and bring forward till it replaces whatever is there.
The best way is to pull down the book slide to reveal the Layout - which shows you the chapters and section etc which make up a template. You have to use the same procedure on ever page from the template you intend to use.
In the Template Layout, select your page. Click on whatever your background colour is...IF its unlocked you see the square pull handles in corners - now simply select Black and it should change the colour - if not and its unlocked, it may be a black image, in which case delete it, Insert a new rectangle, pull to fit the page and change colour to black. It should now be hiding the other content, ARRANGE > Send to Back and it should sit behind all your content. Now go back to arrange and LOCK.
You should see a red marker on the left with whatever page you are editing "Save Changes" click it and its done... repeat on all other pages.
