How do I change a black background to red in Aperture?

Hello!
I'm a little familiar with Aperture, but have recently encountered something I'm not sure how to do!
Using a long shutter speed and a light I took a picture of some floating words. I would like to change the black background to red without changing the white words. is Aperture capable of doing this? Any tips on how?

Aperture is not the tool for this.  Aperture is designed to provide a photographer a non-destructive RAW workflow:  you import files created by digital cameras, organize, store, and develop them into the best photographic images they can be, and then print them or create share-able files from them.
What you want to do goes beyond this general remit.  It is more properly in the realm of graphics programs, which start with graphics files and change them and combine them to make new graphics files.
Any modern graphics program will allow you to easily do what you want.  (You can probably do it in OS X's Preview app.)

  • How can I change the black background around my photos in iMovie?

    I hope you geniuses can help me with this. I am making a slide show in iMovie, but any portrait style photo has a wide black background. I've spent far too many hours trying to fix it (calling Apple Support etc.) but I'm still stumped.
    One thought-- if I could convert my jpgs to a video file I could layer them because I movie allows you to layer video files over backgrounds.
    Any ideas for me? Much appreciated. Michelle

    Why not use one of the many graphic editing programs that are available (some are free) to create a new image with the desired background and aspect ratio with your portrait image in the middle?

    P.S. Actually the best results would be to use Aperture but that's another 80 bucks.

  • How do I change the tab background color in Firefox 4?

    I just upgraded to Firefox 4. Tabs are now fine black font on dark grey background -- very hard to read. How do I change the tab background color?
    I have searched and the closest I can come is some instructions for modifying .css files, and it is not clear that those instructions will impact the tab background color.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Similar question asked by TH received another response.
    Here is the address of that question and answer:
    https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/804464?s=change+tab+color+firefox+4&as=s
    I like the solution recommended there.
    Added information - after several days experience, I notice that some tabs occasionally revert to the original dark grey. So I am still looking for a better solution, ideally within Firefox rather than via add on. This seems like a basic setting for the browser that should be easy to change, rather than something so complex that I need an add on to change it. Or just build it without such a dark grey background to begin with and I would not need to change it.

    appletv play audio out of optical out of hdmi and the old alu one play out the RCA too
    the typical the white and red plug ins would be RCA if you have a atv2 (the black one) you cant use
    RCA as that is analog and optical and hdmi are digital
    you can get converters but some would be pricy and could cause delay between image and pictures for video

  • How do you change the slide background colour in the keynote app?

    How do you change the slide background colour in the keynote app?

    You can't (not in Keynote for iOS). The background color is a function of the template selected when you create the file initially and cannot be altered. the only workaround I know of is to add a graphic file to the slide and position it behind all other content, but this would need to be repeated on any slide you wish to "recolor".

  • How do you change the dashboard background in os x mavericks?

    How do you change the dashboard background in os x mavericks? plz help!!!

    I just discovered this by mistake.
    Select the picture you want as background, and in the Services menu (or contextual menu) choose "Set Desktop Picture". Then immediately switch into the Dashboard while this command is being processed.
    I was trying to change my regular desktop but discovered this changed the Dashboard background instead. I presume it is because Dashboard is considered a Space and different Spaces can have different Desktops.

  • After rotating video, how do I change the black side bars from black to white?

    In the bad old days when I used iMovie, I coud rotate a video 90 degrees and get black bars on either side of the video.  Then I could add the negative effect and it would not only give me the negative of the video itself but it would also change the black bars to white bars, something I quite liked for the project I was working on.  This doesn't automatically happen in FCP X, so my question is How do I change the black sidebars to white sidebars (without changing anything in the video itself)?  Thanks.

    Make a white generator and put it underneath the video. The pillars are not black. They're empty.

  • How do I change the message background colour in mail,(2013)?

    I'd like to be able to do this.
    I send a lot of photos,(for my biz as an art photographer), and they would present FAR better on aa grey or black background than on the harsh and glaring white background.
    I haven't figured out how to create a coloured background template for the Stationary plug, or that might be an option.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciate!

    You can't do that, but you can change the visual properties of the display by selecting Apple menu > System Preferences > Displays > Color > Calibrate...

  • How do i change the white background with the new ios7?

    I just upgraded my iPad mini to iOS7 and now my videos are not titled, or the letters are white and are invisible against the new white background. How can I change this??

    It is rediculous,
    up to IOS6 the iPhone was a perfect device for someone with low vision, well structured, good contrast and readable fonts.
    But things got "improved". What a pitty that Apple has given away that benefit for a lightweight design which reduces ergonomics drastically. Now IOS is SW where design dominates usability.
    Yes, you can use larger fonts, yes, you can use fat fonts but that does not change the keyboard layout.
    It startet in IOS6 with the update of the keypad for the phone application (thin black keys on a flashing white background) and is continued with the vision unfriendly design from IOS7.
    Please, have the flashing white background configurable so a structuring reappears or have the background configurable to white or black.
