How do you make the background all one color without disturbing the subjects?

I shot a wedding this past weekend.  Where the bridal party walked in there was an acrhway with christmas lights as the only lights.  It made the background all splotchy.  I have tried the paintbrush tool, but only preset choices, such a textures and such.  Won't help.  I need to work around people and make the background all one color.  I've tried using a vignette, but it made it too dark, and when you lighten the exposure you see all the splotches.  Does anyone have any advice.  I am in a  jam, I want the colors to be uniform for all the bridal party....and not look like someone threw paint on the wall.  HELP PLEASE!
I'm using Adobe Photoshop Elements 10.

You'll need to post an example so we can figure out the best way.

  • In photoshop, how do you make a background a solid color?

    In photoshop, how do you make a background a solid color?

    Select all then edit fill is one way.
    However if you mean the background behind a subject you need to separate the subject from its background the change just the background.  Look for tutorials on replacing background and extracting subjects

    How do you get your music on your phone without syncing the whole iTunes library on your phone?

    Are you syncing to a different computer?  Iphone will sycn with only one at a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content.
    Otherwise, just select what you want to be on the iphone under the music tab and sync.  What do you care if it erases?  You will be syncing what you want to the iphone.

    I think you have to have the files on your HD. So either put them in iPhoto or copy them to a folder in Finder, and from there you can upload to Facebook.

  • How do you add a new scene to beginning without disturbing movie with music and beat markers?

    How do you add a new portion to the beginning of your project without disturbing the rest of the project that already has perfectly place clips attached to beat markers with the music ?
    I forgot to add a tittle intro before the music starts with the attached pictures. When I try to add the whole project goes out of sync.
    I want to just add an intro without disturbing the entire project.
    Thanks

    Well, if you re-attach your background music under the first clip, the starting point will be at the start of that clip so I think it will still be in sync.  If not it's simply a matter of nudging the music track a bit along the timeline.  Comparing the audio waveforms of the two tracks should help with this.  When its right you can delete the track in the background music position.  Now you can add what you like before the first clip without affecting sync.

  • How do you make an image enlarge on hover, like on the new google image search?

    Here's an example:
    http://www.google.com/images?hl=en&source=imghp&biw=1109&bih=690&q=cat&gbv=2&aq=f&aqi=g10& aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=
    When you roll over the image it enlarges.  I like it because you don't have to click anything, and you hover over a bunch of images without refreshing the page or having an obnoxious popup you have to close.
    Is there a ways to create this in dreamweaver?  Do you have to make 2 different image sizes (like in the dijointed rollovers)?
    Thanks!  I love this forum!
    Kate

    You have to insert a rollover object.  Not sure what version you are working in.  But you should have the option to select "insert", "Rollover Object" then you followi the guide.  You will need to create 2 copies of your image - one that is smaller that will be your thumbnail and then the larger image.  The first thing you will be asked for is an image ID - give it whatever name you want, but I recommend lowercase letters only.  The 2nd thing will be to insert your thumbnail as a jpg and the you insert the larger image, again as a thumbnail.  Don't forget to gill in the alternate id name as well - can be the same as your original id name.
    THIS IS IMPORTANT
    After you insert the image you must switch to code view and delete the size parameters that appear after the image.
    I hope this makes sense...but if you need further help....just ask.

  • How can you make a background image change to a faded state at a certain point in scroll?

    I'm referring to a technique I've seen used in Relevant Magazine's iPad app if anyone has used it. I understand having a shape behind text that has a feathered gradient and when you scroll the text the shape gradually fades out the background image. But this is not the effect I'm trying to acheive. On some of the articles in Relevant, the screen is a full image and as you scroll the type up, the entire background dims when you scroll to a certain spot.
    I've tried searching for hours, but I feel like I'm getting no where because I don't really know what to search for. I feel like it requires use of something other than what DPS is capable of. Hopefully this makes sense and I'd greatly appreciate any suggestions and help!
    Thanks!

    Try applying the feathered gradient to the scrollable content frame, not the background frame. It will appear to change the color of the background frame.

  • How do you make multiple buttons link to specific paragraphs within the destination page?

    Hi
    The best way i can describe this is I want to link four buttons on my homepage to a page named 'services'. Each button refers to a different section on the 'services' page.
    So what I want to happen is when I link each button, i want the user to be able to click on one and then be transferred to the 'services' page, but halfway down the page at the relevant paragraph or wherever the relevant section is.
    How do you do this people?
    Thanks for your time

    How do you attach a photo as an attachment and not in the body of the email?

    If you attached the photo using the attach icon or attach command, it will act as an attachment on the recipient's end, even though you see it in Mail in the body of your message. If you drag and dropped your photo into your email, it will act as a placed graphic in the body of your message.

  • How do you make it print first page first and not the last page first?

    Hi,
    From the application used to print open the print dialog and click Oroperties or Preferences to access the Printing Preferences screen.
    From the Layout tab set Page Order as Back to Front, then the first page will be printed first.

  • How do you make your xaml ui look good without being a designer?

    Hi all,
    I am realy stuggeling to make ui's for my softwares to give my users a nice visual experience.
    I started to learn c# and winforms some years ago and i have huge problems to make the switch to xaml.
    Now i pretty much use the pre made templates in visual studio such as the Hub App and i do small modifications.
    How do you non designers handle your ui without hiring a designer?
    Are there any place where you can buy cheap pre made ui templates i can use as a starting point?
    I also followed the course design your ux in blend but i can't say i got the hang of it with just one course.
    Are there more courses or tutorials anyone can recomend me about making ui's in blend?
    Are there any other easier tools to make nice looking xaml ui beside blend? Maybe something not as advanced as blend and more visual drag and drop?
    Any tips,tutorials,courses,websites or any other thing that you used when learning to make a nice xaml ui are more than welcome.

  • How do you make a SpryMenuBar a different color for each page?

    Hey everyone. I'm new to web design and dreamweaver is definitly kicking my butt. Anyway, I'm trying to create a simple website for a foundation and I want to make each page have a different color Sprymenubar to match the color theme of the different pages. The site will only have about 6 color themes max so this shouldn't be a huge undertaking. The trouble I'm having is I have created the home page (the color green) and right now I'm working on the second page (the color blue). When I added a new sprymenubar and changed the CSS Rule to make the color of the menu blue and the hover color light blue it then changes the color of the menu on the home page from Green to Blue. How annoying! I even tried starting from scratch and inserting another horizontal sprymenubar but I can't seem to make another horizontal sprymenubar with a whole new set of rules independent from the first one. What can I do? Do I have to make an editable region or am I just not clicking a certain button to make the new menubar independent from the first one?
    Examples
    First this
    Then this
    And then this happens 
    Let me know!!

    Ok I found a similar question on this forum that was answered and helped. If anyone comes across this wondering the same thing, copy and paste your SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css file and rename the copy to something like "(Title_Of_Page)SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css" and then replace "SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css" in your code to <link href="../SpryAssets/(Title_Of_Page)SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css" and then you are good to go.

  • How do you make a stand-alone app work without seeing a command window...

    I'm new to Java so please forgive the very basic question I'm asking. All the apps I've learned how to make so far cause a command window to appear along with the GUI. How do you keep the command window from showing up?

    java ExampleApp
    I just discovered using the search for this site. I should know better than to make a post without first using the forum's search. It's just that I had been searching the java tutorials already to no avail as well as using a search engine.
    According to the forum here, people have said that you need to create a .jar file. I'll need to look into the specifics. Sounds a bit confusing at first. There was also mention of starting the app like so:

    I'll go try that now! Any other suggestions you may have will be appreciated!

  • How do I make a learner attempt a question, without having the option of a 'Next' button?

    Hi,
    Is it possible to display the feedback option (learner selected) from a multiple choice Question by clicking the next (or previous) page button?
    I have set the progress to the next page, with the option 'Attempts - 1' from the Assessment page. The objective of this exercise was to make the learner attempt the given multiple choice question, without the option of going back or forward during their first attempt. The first time the learner comes across this page, he/she has to answer the question to move forward. Once he/she has answered the question (right or wrong), then he/she will be able to navigate to the next and previous pages.
    Is there any functionality where we can restrict the learner in taking up the test (compulsory), before navigating to the next page (using 'Next' button)?
    Thank you,
    Emayavaramban M E

    Don't show the Next button, but drag it under the Clear button if you have that one. Next button is really meant to skip an answer (which you do not want to allow) and during Review to make navigation possible. Since the Clear button will not be there during Review, then the Next button will become visible. Next is the new label (formerly it was labeled Skip). I explained some functionality of question slides in this post:
    http://blog.lilybiri.com/question-question-slides-in-captivate
    It was written in the CP5.5 time, so you'll still see the label 'Skip' that is now replaced by 'Next'

  • How do you make a loop out a sample without it having any stops?

    I took a part of a song to make it into a sample. I looped it to make it longer for a song. However, there are awkward stops in the song now. How do I take this out?  I already tried trimming the stops out but it just seems that it doesn't work.
