Creating black backgrounds

Hi.....Could anybody please tell me the best way of creating a black background to a portrait whilst still being able to keep fine strands of hair visible in the portrait so as to keep the portrait looking natural. I know how to use the polygonal tool and the paintbrush to do this where the subject matter has clearly defined edges but in the case of free flowing hair in the subject I find it to be nigh on impossible.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi Richard,
See if this tutorial helps.

  • Printing AnyGantt creates black background color

    I use a customized AnyGantt chart. When I try to print it on a page A3 I get a mean issue with the background color. It becomes black. The Chart itself looks good.
    When I try the same with examples from AnyChart.com the no black background appears. I don't see a difference.
    The black background occurs with my PDF Creator, my real printer and if I save it as a picture.
    Example application: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=ANYGANTT_PROBLEM:1
    If you add my source code as XML data you should see a nice Gantt diagram with damn printing problems!

    For your information. I opened a ticket by AnyChart:
    Hi AnyChart-team!
    I have a huge problem with printing an AnyGantt chart.
    The description of problem:
    When I use the following syntax in my style section:
      <styles>
       <period_styles>
        <period_style name="p1">
          <bar_style>
            <labels>
              <label>
                <text>{%start}</text>
                <font color="Black" />
              </label>
            </labels>
            <middle shape="Full">
              <fill enabled="true" type="Solid" color="DarkSeaGreen" />
              <border enabled="true" color="#656565" />
            </middle>
          </bar_style>
            </period_style>
        </period_styles>
      </styles>The print output crashes with the effect that some shapes are not visible anymore. If I use no Label styles then it works:
      <styles>
       <period_styles>
        <period_style name="p1">
          <bar_style>
            <middle shape="Full">
              <fill enabled="true" type="Solid" color="DarkSeaGreen" />
              <border enabled="true" color="#656565" />
            </middle>
          </bar_style>
            </period_style>
        </period_styles>
      </styles>I came along another issue with an old Flash Player version and tried the newest one: 10,1,102,64
    Then this issue came up. In the older version: 10,8,84 it worked without any issues.
    The PDF: Flash.pdf shows the problem.
    I do not understand the black background color inside the PDF either?

  • When I create an album and then try to watch it in slideshow, I get only a black screen with a white title.  No photos come up.  Also when I click on an individual photo in the album, I get a white exclamation point on a black background but no big photo.

    When I create an album of photos and then open the album and try to watch it by selecting "slideshow" I get only a black screen.  The white title comes up briefly but then no photos, only a black screen.  Also when I go back to the album and click on a thumbnail, up comes a big white exclamation point on a black background instead of the enlarged photo.  Any idea what's going on?

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • In Indesign 3--I created an Elliptical Circle on a black background. I want the circle to be "THICK WHITE" Circumference.

    In Indesign 3--I created an Elliptical Circle on a black background. I want the circle to be "THICK WHITE" Circumference. I can only make the circle either solid black or solid white. I want the circle to be solid black with the circumference of the circle in "THICK WHITE".
    I'm a beginner in this. Somebody gave me a suggestion: "Select the object and make sure the Stroke panel is open (Window>Stroke). Select the size and make it Paper color."
    I went and selected the object as suggested. I then opened the "stroke panel". I could not see any size to select and could not see where to change to paper color. When I change to paper color, the whole circle became white. The only things I see in the stroke panel are as follows: I saw "weight" "Miter limit","cap", "join", "type", "start" "end", "gap Color", "gap tint" and played with all of them and I could not make the circumference "THICK WHITE".
    I'm posting this as a question in the hope somebody can give me a clearer answer. The above response to me ( "Select the object and make sure the Stroke panel is open (Window>Stroke). Select the size and make it Paper color.") was short and sweet but it did not help me. Thank you.

    See your other thread where I explained the color proxies...
    The size of a stroke is correctly termed "weight" and there's a filed for that with a dropdown in the stroke palette, or you can type your own number in.

  • What is the simplest way to create a text on black background?

    I am new to In Design and want to make a simple design that is a yellow text with a black background. What is the easiest way to do that? I am on a PC running In Design CS4. This is on a computer at work so it may take awhile for me to get back to anybody who answers. Thanks in advance

    If you are a novice then iweb is a good place to start. It will allow you to create a site quickly with the minimum amount of work. You can then learn more as you go along if you want to. To publish you will need web space somewhere. Thats how I started and now I am studying web design with the Open University and am learning xhtml and CSS, then progressing to Java etc. Good luck and have fun - it is quite addictive once you start.

  • How can I create a black background around a closeup of a flower?

    I want to have some of my close-up pics of flowers on a black background. Is there a way to do this with aperture? I use aperture on both my iMac and Macbook Pro.
    Thanks for any help.

    One way is to use Select>Color Range
    Make a new Color Fill Layer>White
    (Layer>New Fill Layer>Solid Color)
    Put a new color fill layer below>black
    Just invert the layer mask on the top fill layer for the opposite effect.

  • Black background and white text physically hurts & creates ghosting. Please add UI color toggle.

    Hi,
    The new white text on black design physically hurts my eyes and gives very bad ghosting (i.e. persistent image like those in optical illusions that make you stare at particular color combinations and then look away). I know I'm not the only one with this issue because I've researched it in the past. Without an option to switch back to the old design (White background/black text), I'll need to delete my Spotify account and find another service. Please add an option to switch between the two (because I know many prefer black backgrounds). Myself and a host of others, however, cannot use these color combinations. Please let me know if there is a work-around; it would be much appreciated. It's basically unusable to me in it's current state. :(

    Absolutely agree with the original poster.  I find white text on black background so very very difficult (I changed from using Tweetbot on iOS to Tweetlogix for this very reason) and it physically hurts my eyes to try to read it.  I can just about manage with Spotify using white text on a black background on the large screen of my MacBook Pro - and I do mean "just" - but for the smaller screen of my iPhone 5 it is just impossible.  Even with a retina screen such as that on the iPhone 5S there is a strange ghosting effect and it gives me a headache to look at it for too long. 
    This may be something to do with age!  I suspect most app developers are youngsters with almost perfect eyesight, but for those of us whose eyesight is less than perfect, this white text on black background really is so very difficult.
    I know there is a workaround in setting the iPhone to invert ALL colours (under Accessibility in Settings) but it's a real pain to have to keep altering this setting every time I want to open or close Spotify, and it doesn't look right anyway.  iOS7 is supposed to be a light, bright, easy to read OS - sadly this new Spotify app is the opposite of that.
    Please would Spotify consider adding a simple light or dark theme option, so that those of us who want it can have our much easier to read light background back again, with grey or black text?  It would be a great help to those of us who have eyesight problems.
    If not, I may have to cancel my Spotify Premium account and move to Deezer instead, as I mainly use Spotify when out and about in the car, so am using the iOS app a lot.
    Thank you for considering this plea!
     

  • How do you create transparent text with black background in LiveType for use in Final Cut??

    I would like to bring in movies or projects from LT that have transparent text ("alpha" layer?) and a solid background. The goal is to layer fcp video under the animated text generated in LT so that the video layer fills the transparent text layer. I know you can matte to movie or image in LT, but would prefer to do this in FCP. Long story short, need a text transparency from LT. Thanks!

    Video track 1: Your background.
    Video track 2: White text on a black background.
    Video track 3: The fill image for the letters.
    Right click on the clip on track 3. From the drop down menu, choose Composite Mode > Travel Matte Luma.

  • Can't remove black background of camera flare in tech blue HD...

    I am modifying a template in Motion for the opening of an Industrial Video for a client.
    I have isolated the lens flare and the lens flare rectangle, but cannot seem to export without the seemingly built in black background.
    Can anyone tell me how to export the lens flare minus the black background, or where I can get or how I can create a lens flare on my own.
    This is an emergency, any help would be appreciated.
    Regards,
    SMGHD

    I did it and the background remains black. I either must be doing something wrong, or there is an inherent flaw in this program.
    Do you know where else I may be able to search/create a lens flare that will export without a black background??
    In any case, thank you for your help.
    Regards,
    SMGHD

  • Please Help Exporting PDF Portfolio and Black Background turns White

    I am creating a PDF Portfolio in Adobe InDesign and I created a black background using the steps below. When I export the document into PDF form, the background turns to white.
    I followed these steps to make my background black:
    "Window>Color>Swatches to bring up the Swatches panel and double-click the Paper swatch. Change the Color Mode to RGB and move the Red, Green, and Blue sliders to 0 to change the swatch to Black. Click OK."
    Any help with this matter would be greatly appreciated.

    You misunderstand what paper is for. Paper is quite simply the absense of ink or color.
    By changing it, all you've done is show what something will look like printed on black paper. If you really want a black background you'll need to draw a frame, fill it with black and place it on the master page on it's own bottom layer. Lock the layer to prevent any problems.

  • ITunes 9.0.1 - Back to Black Background Answer

    I have a mod to allow people to get iTunes back to the black background in album view.

    You can also read about the way it was developed on the Mac Themes Forum:

    It was initially restricted to Tiger users, but Leopard and Snow Leopard users will now be able to use the modification by following the instructions provided with the zip file. Hope this brings some smiles back to those who can't stand the retina burning white.
    Enjoy

    You might want to check that your certificate that you made has been applied to iTunes.app

    Does the name on the certificate match the one you created?

  • Highlight text on black background?

    Does anyone know how to highlight text in acrobat 9 on a black background?

    I don't think I understand the question, why would highlighting text on a black background be any different than any other color background?
    The only time I have not been able to highlight text in acrobat is when the person who created the document converted all the text to outlines before they exported to PDF or if there are security settings applied.

  • MS Word (Mac) to Acrobat Pro XI pdf loses black background during the conversion.

    I need to email a PDF with an all black background (white text on black background).  But my MacBook Pro with MS Office 2011 creates an Adobe Acrobat Pro XI document (Using PRINT menu to Adobe Acrobat) in which the background is not black, but gray.  Doesn't matter what resolution I pick, always the same result.  Is there a way to fix this problem?

    Hello,
    No, there is no change in behaviour on my Windows XP machines, nor would I expect there to be given that there has been no change until V11.0.3 was released.
    Given that you’ve reproduced the problem, albeit on a different machine, it seems reasonable to assume that the problem is related to Acrobat. If you can reproduce the behaviour, then you should be able to fix it.
    The problem still exists with V11.0.3. I look forward to it being resolved shortly.
    Colin.

  • White lines of code on black background upon starting up

    I recently sent my Macbook in due to problems with the screen going dark for no reason. Upon recieving the laptop back, I noticed problems upon starting. When I restart my laptop, there are white lines of code on a black background. I called in to support, but my support expired and here I am searching for help. They told me that I needed to try and reset my drivers, or my HDD is bad. To reset my drivers they gave me a combination of keys to press upon restarting, but I don't remember the combination of keys. I have repaired my disk using the install CD, but still am having problems.
    It's crazy that I send my laptop in and get it back with other problems... Any help is appreciated becuase Apple surely isn't helping.
    Macbook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   Core Duo w/ Bootcamp

    Turn the computer off. Wait one minute. Restart. If you are still booting into single-user mode (black screen with white print) then at the prompt enter:
    reboot
    Then press return. If this does not start you up into OS X then there's a system problem. You will need to reinstall OS X. You can do this using the Archive and Install option that does not require you to erase the hard drive. Your old system will be archived in a Previous System Folder at the root of the hard drive.
    Before performing the Archive and Install you should do the following:
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then quit DU and return to the installer. Now proceed with the OS X installation.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
