Gradient to white, scaling and adding text help?

Hello, I'm trying to make a composite image for for a class, my idea was to take a side shot of a guy's head, cut it out, shillotte it and fade the back of his head to white. In the dad center of the picture I want to place a much smaller portrait picture cut to an oval.
As for the text I need to place the guy's name across the top and then fill in the area between the 2 oppisite facing shillottes and the central picture with the text about the guy.
I've managed to figure out how to cut the pics tthe way I want them and reverse the one, but how do I size them correctly? The one in the middle is 220x315, it's the only pic of the guy I could find... the 2 shillottes however are from a pic that was 3600x2400.
Here are some screenshots of where I'm at and what I've started with.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Those are called tool tips. The can be turned off with java code. Cyclosaurus posted the code to be used in an HTML snippet in this topic: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7050854#7050854.
You might investigate using java script for your furniture presentation. There are a lot of possibilities out there. Some that I've come across are:
Jalbum a free application that has over 100 different skins/themes. This demo page shows some of them: Jalbum Examples. Most are customizable so that you can hide the control bar, set the background color, auto start, etc.
To give you an idea of some other types of java based presentations available see the examples below:
SimpleViewer and Flash Album Exporter
Flash Album Exporter Postcard and AutoViewer Slideshow Themes
This page has a number of examples: http://www.vivalogo.com/vl-resources/javascript-slideshows-sliders-carousels.htm.

You should delete your phone number from the topic line.
Spambots search these forums for contact info.
You don't want to get even more telemarketing/scam calls than you probably already get.
It seems like the "Do Not Call" lists are ignored these days.

How do I change the Gradient in the Artwork and Effect Text tool

How do I change the colors used in the gradient under the Artwork and Effects Text Tool? It always comes green and blue and I dont know how to change it.

Gradient usually picks up the foreground & background colors from the chips in the tool bar, but that is for the default gradients. Sounds like you have one of the pre-set gradients selected in the drop down list in the gradient options bar. Select the gradient tool, then look in the options bar at the top of the screen. The second item from the left, if I remember correctly, is a drop down list of various gradient possibilities. Select the top left gradient sample for the foreground to background gradient.

Black cursor versus white cursor and grabbing text

Does anyone know why the cursor arrow shifts from black to white over some text boxes in an iWeb document?
This matters to us because when the cursor is black, then we are able to select the text, such as for copying.
When the cursor shifts to white, which it's doing over a couple of text boxes, we're unable to select the text.
We want to make sure all text boxes are selectable, since we're creating a media release where the readers need to be able to conveniently grab our text.
We've checked the inspectors and can't find any difference between the two text boxes. I've checked the discussion search, iWeb help, and any PDF manuals I can find, but no mention of what is causing the text boxes to be different.
Any explanations or suggestions?
Thanks,
Diana

Can you take screenshots of the two different cursors and post them here? I've only been able to get one cursor associated with text boxes and that's the black one with the white border. I do get the white hand over widgets.

Entire document momentarily flickers white when editing/adding text

Using Adobe Illustrator I exported an Adobe PDF. Back in Adobe Acrobat Pro -> content Editing -> I select some existing text and as soon as I type a single character, the entire document momentarily flickers white. Afterwards, the character I entered is visible. This happens each and every time I try to type. If I try to type a full sense, the screen is basically strobing until I stop typing.
This also happens in Acrobat Acrobat Professional.
I have Acrobat Pro 11.0.06
thanks!

You really should update the source document in Illustrator and generate a new PDF. If you need to retain any links, fields, etc. that you added in Acrobat, you can replace the old pages with the new in Acrobat (Tools > Pages > Replace).

How to change pdf (with dark background) so it print with white background and dark text??

I have lots of nice presentations I am studying- the problem is most of them were made in ppt with dark backgrounds and white text then converted to pdf files. So when I print them, I get a dark (black) background with white text- very annoying. Is there anyway to get it to print with a light (or no) backround with black text? This is much easier for note taking/etc. I have adobe acrobat professional.

Use the rectangle shape tool. Draw a rectangle over the entire frame. In the shape tab, color it whatever you want. Export your TGA sequence.
Andy
PS: But if you place a colored bkg in your motion project that you will effectively have no alpha channel. Are they referencing the TGA's alpha?

PSE freezes when adding text - help

I have a MAC and have installed PSE 11 successfully. I'm working on a birthday project and everytime I try to add text, the whole thing freezes. I force shut down as it's the only thing to get me out of it, and reboot, and it does it again, and again and again. Please help. Thanks.

Actually, before doing all that, let's check PSE itself. Go to the editor preferences>general, click this button, and restart the editor:

Subtitles and adding text to a video

Hello- I just started using Final Cut Express 4.0
Is it possible to add subtitles?
Is it also possible to add information as someone is talking, like their name?
If so how? Thank you!!!!

Open the Help Manual and go to page 869 where you will find a very short chapter describing titling and how to do it.

Why is zoom and adding text so slow?

I have Adobe Acrobat Pro XI on Mac OS (Yosemite). My pinch zoom using trackpad is extremely laggy (but the regular zoom that snaps to a fixed %zoom is fine). Also, the content editing add text tool is extremely slow; when I type ten letters, each letter appears one every two seconds or so.

Acrobat is not currently officially compatible with Yosemite, so problems are to be expected...

How do I setup my printer to print the colored background white and the text black on PP slides?

I have an Officejet Pro L7680. I am attempting to print PowerPoint slide that have a blue background and white text with a white background and black text. I've made changes within PowerPoint and made adjustment when printing and neither helps. I still end up with printed slides having a black background with white text? Thank you!

Hi,
Follow these steps to disable two sided printing:
Open the file you would like to print. From the File menu select Print. The Print window appears.
NOTE: The Print window might be minimized. Click the Show Details button to see all available settings.
Click the settings drop down, it will usually appear as the name of the program (e.g. TextEdit)
Will appear as Copies & Pages within Microsoft Office applications.
Select Layout from the drop-down menu.
Set the Two-Sided option as Off.
You may save the settings as a preset by clicking Presets > Save Current Settings as Preset...
By doing so and completing the print job these settings will remain default till another preset will be used in the future.
Regards,
Shlomi

When adding text in XI Pro, some characters appear and some don't. A space is substituted for the characters that don't print. How do I fix this?

When using Adobe XI Pro and adding text, some numbers are not displayed. In their place, a blank appears. At first I thought it was a weak keyboard battery, but the same data appears fine in Word. I've never seen this happen before. Does anyone have any suggestions? (Windows 7 Pro)
Thank you!

I don’t know the font. (One of our other employees had experienced the problem.) We did discover that if we saved the document and then reopened it, the text was all there.
You may close this issue.
Thank you!

ITunes store is all blank boxes and blue text. How do I fix that?

I downloaded the latest version of iTunes and when I tried to access the iTunes store, 1) it takes FOREVER to come up, 2) it doesn't come up most of the time and is a blank white screen instead 3) when it does come up, it is a bunch of blank white boxes and the text is all in blue. Also the genius doesn't load either and takes forever.

Try this,
Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.

After a page loads the colors are right, then it suddenly turns light blue and the text fades to gray

When I open google, the page immediate comes up right with a white background, and black text. Before the page finishes though, the background turns to light blue, and the text turn gray. The logos show up right framed in the white background but the rest of the page is light blue. It happens in other websites as well. There backgrounds are right, but where the text is located is like in forums the text is grayed out, and there background colors are faded too.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
