How do I make a solid black transition
I would like to put a black blank period between clips; not a transition like dissolve but a period of just black for say 1 second. I didn't see any transition that was like this in the pallet.
Any help appreciated if you know how to do this.
Thanks,

If you open the Titler using Text Menu/New Text/Default Text instead of Titles & Text Tab/General/Default Text, do you still get a row of boxes instead of Add Text?
First, what is listed for Font in the Text section of the Titler when you are seeing this row of boxes? If Font is set to something like Arial, do you still get those boxes instead of text letters no matter how you access the Titler?
Depending on your answer, left us delete the Premiere Elements settings file. Last I recall, I think you were using Premiere Elements 11 probably on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 bit. So, for now I will you directions specially for that
Local Disk C
Users
Owner
AppData
Roaming
Adobe
Premiere Elements
11.0
and, in the 11.0 Folder, is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. If that does not work, then you delete the whole 11.0 Folder in which the
Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists. Be sure to be working with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives enabled so that you can see
the complete path cited.
Are you having any other problems with the Titler, like disappearing Fonts?
If my recollection of your version and computer operating system is not correct, please supply the correct information, and I will adjust the information accordingly.
Please let me know how the above turns out and, if necessary, we will then plan what next.
Thanks.

How do I make a solid Background Transparent?
Hi All...
I'm trying to make an image I have which has a solid background (and a few other details inside it) transparent? so I can still see behind the graphics in the image yet the background at the same time... I know I've seen it before where the image sort of floats above the background... But I don't know how to accomplish this in photoshop.
Anyone?
Thanks!Sorry. That was my mistake. I assumed that the text was on a perfect circle, but it is in fact on an elipse.
I worked through to make sure I had not made other eronious assumptions!
The first thing I did was add some canvas because the text was so close to the edge. Easy enough to trim afterwards.
Then I used the Magic wand to select the blue. I did not care about the text as I was going to replace it.
I inverted the selection so the fish was selected (Ctrl/Cmd Shift i)
Then refine Edge. Get close, then use the Expand selection slider to get as much of the fish as you can, and make sure you click on Decontaminate Colors to remove any trace of blue.
Copy the fish to a new layer (Ctrl/Cmd j)
Add another layer above the fish. Ctrl/Cmd click the fish layer to select it, and go Edit > Stroke with one pixel black inside. (If the original is larger than the one you posted, you may need a thicker stroke.
OK you now have a nice crisp fish with a good solid black outline.
use the eliptical Marquee tool, and drag to get as close to the inside the text as you can. You can use the space bar to move while dragging. if all else fails, you can Transform Selection to improve the fit.
Go to the paths panel and choose 'Make work path from Selection.
Select the type tool (I used Bradley hand ITC at 5.2mm) and click at the top of the path and insert your text.
I left a couple of steps out for clarity. I erased the old text, for instance, but while adding the new text, I inserted a layer between the type layer and original background layer and filled it with white so I could see the new text more clearly. Then I deleted it when finished.
I didn't add the bubbles, but it is really easy to do so with brushes I linked to further up this thread. I hope thatclears it all up.
BTW The one on the right has a transparent background. Other than the fish, the rest of the image on the left was created from scratch. -
How do I make image backgrounds black and white while maintaining color in the foreground objects?
I have a close up close-up image of an orchid with blurred background. I am trying to make the background black and white while maintaining the foreground color on the petals, buds and stems. Any ideas?
Use the Blank & White Brick and either brush the effect onto the background or brush is away from the foreground. "Detect Edges" will help control the edge of the mask.
You might be interested in knowing that you can brush on/away masks of different strengths, and thus produce effects in between 0% and 100%.
Search the forum -- there are several good posts detailing how to create this effect.
Sample search.

What program are you using - Photoshop Elements or Premiere Elements, what version, and on what computer operating system is it running?
If you are using Photoshop Elements and not Premiere Elements, you have posted in the wrong forum. In that case, you want to post in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum. Somehow your thread got posted in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum (video editing).
Photoshop Elements
If your program is Premiere Elements, I will give you a how to for what you want to do using Premiere Elements for your video project.
We will be watching for more information from you.
Thanks.

NEWB question - How do I make my video Black and white?
I've poked around the manual, google, and the forums. I'm sure the answer is MORE than obvious, but at this time....i cannot figure it out.
How do i get to a settings/coolor bar with sliders that will allow me to make video B&W, control saturation and brightness?
Thanks guys!GOOD NEWS! Thanks to you guys, I figured it out. Within the 3-way color corrector here is what I did (for future searchers):
- Go the effects tab.
- Go to Video Filters> Color Correction> 3-way color corrector.
- Click and drag the filter on the the clip in the time line.
- Now double-click the clip you just dragged the filter on to, this should be it up in the viewer up top.
- No, click on the 3-way color correction tab.
- You will see 3 color wheels. Ignore them for now and notice the slider underneath them, "Saturation" or "Sat". Take this slide and move it to the very left.
You now have black and white video. -
How do I make world clock black

Individual clock colors change from white to black depending on the time of day for the location (black at night, white in the day). This is not configurable.

How do I make color headings black, but color graphics graphics grayscale in my PDFs?
My documents have blue headings and color graphics. I leave all the colors in my web PDFs, but for press I need black headings and grayscale graphics. The Convert Colors function in Acrobat gives me grayscale on both. To get black headings for press I've been printing a second PDF from FrameMaker with Spot Color as Black/White, then doing Convert Colors in Acrobat to get grayscale graphics. This means I must make two PDFs from FrameMaker: one for web and one for press.
Is there any way in Acrobat 11 to convert my blue headings to black, while converting graphics to grayscale?>You can produce a grayscale PDF by printing to a Postscript file,
choosing Output > Color > Composite gray, and Distilling the PS file
(assuming you have the full version of Acrobat).
If you have a full version of Acrobat you can do that in one step by choosing AdobePDF as the printer. :) -
How do I make a circle like transition in Motion?
I am very new to motion and I need some help. How do I create a transition similar to the circle transition in FCPX, but instead of a circle I want to use a shape I created in photoshop? In other words Transition A will be replaced by transition B with my object sweeping in. Sorry if my question is very elementary.
thanks,
Brian
SDGYou can absolutely use an image you create in Photoshop. Here's how I would do it.
-Create a new FCP Transition in Motion.
-Set the A/B image to the full length of the project.
-Import the graphic you want to use (Circle, Star, Heart, Pokémon, etc.)
-Animate the shape to fill the screen (scale parameter with keyframes, grow shrink behavior).
-Apply an image mask to the Transition A layer (command -shift-M).
-Add the shape to the image mask.
-In the image mask, I'd publish the Invert option. This way you can flip which is inside or outside. When you are in FCPX you can just click the checkbox in the inspector to get what you want.
This is just a starting point, but you can get much more fancy with publishing and rigging when you get more comfortable with Motion. Good luck. -

"It's Christmas card time again and the fact that Address Book is useless for this purpose is really frustrating."
While I sympathise with the functionality of Address Book, I'm old-fashioned enough to write my cards and envelopes by hand (shock! horror!) and get quite p***-off to receive bulk-printed stuff.
Just a thought, peeps.
It'd be all too easy to follow that up with a cheapshot making reference to how many Christmas cards you have to send, but I'll rise above that and explain that some of us might want to use this for business contacts and have 300+ cards to address.
It is a shame that the printing feature from Address Book is so close, yet so far from performing this simple task. It is a shame that Pages can run mail merge, but only for one record per page (which is useless for label printing). It is also a shame that MS Word for Mac does proper labels but doesn't recognise Address Book as a datasource.
These things are all a shame because with Apple's software, you rather expect things to "just work", as per their advertising, and when very simple things don't "just work", it difficult not to feel cheated. -
The screen on my 4s does not go blank while on a call causing me to accidentally dial or face time what can I do
You have a case on your iPhone? It might be blocking the proximity sensor, which is responsible for inactivating the keypad.
If you have a case on, try removing it and see if that fixes your problem.
If not, you'll need to talk to Apple about a repair or replacement. -
How do I make the answer boxes not print out solid black?
Does anyone know how to change the settings on the Form so that the boxes do not print out solid black?
Hello Paci,
How exactly did you create the form? And is the signed document received through EchoSign showing the boxes as black in PDF itself or are they shown when you take the print out of it?

How can I make the combo box turn to the value of black.
When the show button is pressed (and not before), a filled black square should be
displayed in the display area. The combo box (or drop down list) that enables the user to choose the colour of
the displayed shape and the altering should take effect immediately.When the show button is pressed,
the image should immediately revert to the black square, the combo box should show the value that
correspond to the black.
Now ,the problem is: after I pressed show button, the image is reverted to the black square,but I don't know
how can I make the combo box turn to the value of black.
Any help or hint?Thanks a lot!

But if I want ONLY fade out (or in) I can't do it...
OK, I understand what you mean now! I assumed you were asking about the normal Fade In or Fade Out using the transition from the Transitions panel. But I guess you mean the Fade function specific to a Cutaway. When you double-click on a Cutaway the Inspector opens. Here you can set the Cutaway Fade duration. But as you say, it only provides for both fade in and fade out as one operation - you can't set the fades individually (it's both or nothing).
BUT, try the method outlined by Karsten Schluter above. It will give you the same effect and will enable you to fade either side of the Cutaway (or add other transitions).

Can anyone help me? Concerned that I may have some kind of malware. My cursor arrow and trackpad are behaving strangely, The cursor used to be a solid black arrow but now seems to have horizontal white lines running through it. The trackpad does not function normally either. For example, when I use my trackpad to scroll up and down in mail it sometimes works and sometimes does not. In adobe acrobat it sometimes does not work. In facebook, the cursor does not line up behind the menu keys as it should.
Any one know how this might have happened and how I can stop it?Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test. -
How can I make the background one solid color? It is too difficult and noticeable when I use the retouch button and try to erase all the creases in my backdrop. So, how can I have just a solid white background?
When talking about a specific image posting the image may be useful.
One can use a Layer Mask and add a white Layer underneath.
