How do I change the transparency grid to gray in Camera Raw 8.7.1?

I am using Scott Kelby's  The Adobe Photoshop CS6 Book for Digital Photographers. He has a tutorial on Lens Correction in Camera Raw where he uses vertical tilt to correct perspective on an image taken with a 10 mm lens (Chapter 3, page 69 if that matters to anyone). The correction is extreme and after correcting, the areas where the transparency grid would show are gray in his image. On my copy of Camera Raw 8.7.1, I get the familiar checkered transparency grid (I am using the same image supplied from the books web site.  He continues on with a Free Transform and Content-Aware correction to eliminate the "gray" area without explaining how the transparency section in his image got to be gray. Doing a selection on the transparency to complete the Content-Aware is not possible as described in his book. Is something I am missing with PS CC 2014? I have asked four other photographers using CS6 and CC. Two report they have the checkered grid and one has a gray area and yet another has a white area.   How can I get the gray area as described in the book?

In case you are accessing this discussion by email, please be aware that I edited my last post:
In have sent a query to the Kelby web site asking for an explanation.
Great, I was going to suggest that right off the bat in my first post, but refrained from that so as not to be accused of being condescending. 
I always get a gray grid for transparency in ACR, no matter what, never a solid-color gray or solid any-other color.
To be honest, I can't fathom why you would care that you get the same result.
Totally off topic:  I can't stand Kelby.  :-/

    How do I get the 7.3 plug in for Camera Raw to be used with the Canon Powershot G15 for PSCS6?

    Normally you should just have to do Help - Updates from Photoshop's menus to get the latest Camera Raw (and all other updates).
    Is this not working for you?

  • How do I change the Transparency Settings in ACR 8.7.1?

    I work on three different computers, one at home and two at work. In Camera Raw on my home computer the transparency section of an image where I have done a major perspective correction will have the checkerboard rendering of the transparency section. Of the two computers at work, one will display the checkerboard pattern and the other displays dark gray. I prefer the dark gray over the checkerboard but cannot find the setting. Scott Kelby's CS6 book for Digital Photographers has the dark gray view in his tutorial on page 69 and references the dark gray area as if it was the default color. Any help?  

    You can't change the transparency colour. What you might be seeing is a change in colour between different versions of Camera Raw.

  • How can I get the 6.3 plug in for camera raw?

    I got a new laptop, and when I went to bridge for the first time to view some pictures, It was telling me it didn't support the RAW format, so now I can't view any of my pictures. I did some reserch and found I need the 6.3 plug in, but can't find the download link anywhere?

    If you are using CS5, you should use the last version applicable to CS5, for all the latest features and bug fixes, which was Camera Raw 6.7.1. You can get it here:

  • How can I change the color around the artboard in CS4?

    In CS4 its creamy/dirty white. I always work around the artboard and I want the area to be plain white as in CS3. Does anyone know how to change this?

    Michael
    I noticed this as well and it's driving me nuts. What I found bizarre is that I was able to work with the standard white artboard in CS4 - common to legacy versions of the program - for the first few days until just this morning. Evidently, this must be some sort of prefernce that may have changed unexpectedly. Most posts relate to changing the transparency grid or turning off the artboard. Not the solution I'm looking for -
    I'm still at a loss for what to do, but am considering discarding my preferences file to see if that does the trick.

  • How do I change the the artwork size in grid view?

    How do I change the the artwork size in grid view?  I see that if you select view > view options when in artists it will give you a slider to adjust artwork size (although not by much) but there is no option to do this in Movies or TV shows... why couldn't they just keep the universal slider at the top of the page like before!?  I know they want it to look more like the iOS itunes but this isn't an iPad!!!  I have the screen space!!
    Also why is it that EVERY time they release a new iTunes they get rid of the grey background for grid view? :@

    Hello,
    My understanding is that Firefox uses the global printer settings. I am not familiar with the Windows 8 interface, but can you change the printer settings in its Devices and Printers and see if it changes the default for Firefox as well?

    how do I change the background of my dashboard to transparent?

    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.

  • How can I change the tempo (and the snap grid) of the project without altering the duration of the original audio clips?

    This question is for Logic Express.
    I have many very short audio clips that I recorded into my project.
    I want to adjust the project tempo so that I can use the snap grid to make a beat out of my short audio clips. But when I change the project tempo, it automatically adjusts the lengths of my audio clips.
    So how can I change the tempo (and the snap grid) of the project without altering the original audio clips?

    The reason some files sound funny and others don't is because audio is handled a few different in Garageband depending on it's source (audio your recorded vs Apple Loops vs non Apple Loop pre recorded audio). Each of these have different color regions with different properties.  I just found this thread that might better explain it:

    I hope that helps!

  • How do I change the opacity settings for photoshop imported files?

    I am importing a series of photoshop files into CS6 Premiere Pro. There is no background color on the photoshop images, and when I preview them in Premiere's import window, the background appears white. Once I import them into premiere, however, the background becomes black.
    I read that a completely transparent alpha channel from photoshop is rendered as black in premiere, so I tried placing a plain white image in another video track so that it might change the transparent background to white. It didn't work-- the background if each image is still black.
    How can I make a non-existant background layer from my photoshop images appear as white in Premiere, without having to change each file individually?
    Thanks!!!
    Alex

    Nevermind-- I figured out that if I modify> interpret footage> ignore alpha channel, and leave the white background on a lower video track, the background appears white!

  • How do I change the dock appearance?

    I'm making this post because when i did a search for "dock appearance" it gave me stuff for OS 10.7, 10.8, iMac, Intel.... everything but OS 10.5. Apple:  it seems like a search should default to searching the discussions section you're in.
    Anyway, HOW do i change the dock appearance to something that's not ugly? I looked online and fig'd out how to get rid of that ridiculous 3D dock, but now it's just black (with an outline), like a hole in the screen. Ugly and creepy. Yet, i can't seem to find an appearance option or anything that let's me make it, oh, i don't know, semi-transparent bluegrey like 10.4's? I mean, that was kind of icky too, but still far better than black. Thanks.

  • How do you change the background color not of the video clip, but the background the clip is on?

    How do you change the background color upon which the clip resides...
    I don't want to change anything within the clip itself, but the matte(?)
    from black to white or cream.
    I am working with Elements 10...

    Create a color matte of the desired color and place it on video track 1.  Then place your video on track 2.
    from here: Adobe Premiere Elements Help | Creating specialty clips
    Create a colored matte for a background
    You can create a clip consisting of a full‑frame matte of solid color, which you can use as a solid background for titles or animated clips.
    Brightly colored mattes can serve as temporary backgrounds to help you see transparency more clearly while you adjust a key effect.
    Click Project Assets. 
    In the Project Assets panel, click New Item from the panel options and choose Color Matte. 
    Choose a color in the Adobe Color Picker dialog box, and click OK. 
    A color matte clip is placed into both the Project Assets panel and the Expert view timeline.

  • How do I change the image title when it is uploaded from iphoto to iweb. At the moment the image title is /shapeimage_1.png and I would like to put in something more relevant than just shapeimage?

    How do I change the image title when it is uploaded from iphoto to iweb. At the moment the image title is /shapeimage_2.png and I would like to put in something more relevant than just shapeimage_2?

    When you drag images from iPhoto to iWeb, iWeb retains the original filename.
    When you use a mask, iWeb creates a png file with the shapeimage name.
    So do not use a mask and crop your images before dropping them on the iWeb canvas.
    When you use an irregularly shaped mask, then png files are created. They have to be png because of the transparency of the shape.
    You can use a 3rd party application to create the png images yourself, and give them a proper name.
    Or use the published png files, rename them and drop them back onto the iWeb canvas, while first removing the previous images.

  • How do you change the click box properties (line colour and width) in Captivate 7.0?

    How do you change the click box properties (line colour and width) in Captivate 7.0?

    Yes certainly, we can do that, insert a smart shape and use it as a button, then go to the properties pane, change the Alpha to 0, that will make it transparent, and add the stroke color as red and increase the width.
    In case of a button, you have to select button type as transparent and do the same.
    Thanks.

  • How can I change the display of Inbox in my iPad's mail app- so that it takes up the full screen?

    How can I change the display of Inbox in my iPad's mail app- so that it takes up the whole screen, as opposed to just about one third; the other two thirds display the full text of the selected email?

    You can't change the display in the Mail app, if you are holding the iPad in landscape orientation then the left-hand third will be for navigation, and the right-hand two-thirds will be an email. If you hold the iPad in portrait orientation then the navigation section becomes a drop-down section.
