I am putting on my Photoshop Elements 13 hat, Please give the following a try for your Photoshop Elements 13 project. What I gave you before was for Premiere Elements 13 (video editor).
Open to Photoshop Elements 13 Editor - double click the foreground color box of the Color Picker at the bottom of the toolbox to bring up the Color Picker (foreground color) dialog.
R = 255
G =255
B = 255
# ffffff
Click OK to close the Color Picker (foreground color) dialog.
If you want to apply that white color to a layer in the Layers Palette, select the layer and then use Alt+Backspace key.
If you are using File Menu/New/Blank File to create your document, at the bottom of New dialog, set the Background Contents = White. Click OK.
Please let us know if the above worked for you.
Thank you.

Creating a white background

Hello. I am trying to create a white background in my images; eliminating shadows in the photos. Currently, I am using the quick selection tool to wrap the image, then I'm clicking on the oval icon in the bottom right corner, and I'm clicking on curves, and moving the graph to the upper left to get a pure white background. My question is there another way to use the quick selection tool to wrap the image? I'm asking this because when I'm using the quick selection tool, it doesn't always cover the right areas of the image. Is there a way to wrap the image at the pixel level to get a more accurate selection of the image, so other areas do not get selected when using the quick selection tool?

Hi mate take a rectangle and fill it to scene width !
use fill gradient and bind it to your main scene.width
for example :
Rectangle {
fill: color.Blue
stroke: LinearGradient {
startX: 125.0, startY: 0.0, endX: 225.0, endY: 0.0
proportional: false
stops: [
Stop { offset: 0.0 color: Color.web("#1F6592") }
Stop { offset: 1.0 color: Color.web("#80CAFA") }
use appropriate start and offset then bind it to scene width and height.
width : bind scene.width;
height : bind scene.height ;

Need help getting all white background for jewelry pics and resizing help for my website

Can someone please help me? I'm completely new to photoshop and I have elements 12 and I need to make the background all white for my jewelry photos. I have googled instructions but a lot of my jewelry has chain in it so it's hard to select, erase etc. I have no idea what I'm doing. I also need to resize my photos to 400x400 but when I do they distort. Someone told me I can collect the background color and then resize the canvas but again I'm a complete newbie and none of this makes any sense to me.
Thank you

Need to remove white background for use on dark background

Hi,
I have a stock image of some people on a white background. I need to remove the white background so I can use the image in a project with a dark background. However when I put the edited subjects on the dark background, the people all have noticeable white borders around them which I assume means I am not getting all of the white out, especially around the hair. Can anyone recommend the best way of overcoming this? Thanks.

Can anyone recommend the best way of overcoming this? Thanks.
There is no single "best way". It all depends on the resolution of the image and its other quality properties. The - theoretically - cleanest and less workladden method would be to extract the luminance e.g. by converting to Lab mode and selecting the L channel, then adjust the channel range. However, if the foreground also contains lots of bright colors, clipping back the channel black and white points would also affect them and you'd need more adjustments to compensate or work with teh refine mask tool a lot to feather edges just like you would with a conventioan layer mask created from an interactive selection. On top of that you may also still need to apply all teh other dirty tricks like using a dark inner glow to cover up remaining bright areas or fill the outside with a dark color... Really depends, but you should be prepared to invest some time. Using longwinded manual painting and cloning may even be required...

Need to create a background image for Joomla

I need to create a custom background image for a Joomla site.
Can anyone offer a simple tutorial on the steps I need to take to create the image?
Thanks

Okay. The image has a gold gradient from top to bottom, but the text repeats in smaller blocks.
First, you need a tiling image of some text, on a transparent background. Then, this image needs to be added as a pattern in Fireworks.
Next, you get to use your new pattern. In your document, create a tall rectangle with a vertical gradient. Make this image the same width as your tiling pattern, so that your resulting background image will also tile. Over that you put a rectangle with no color fill, but fill it with the text pattern. Save this working Fireworks document, then export to use on the Web.
I don't understand the phrase "I need to know how to size the image, possibly with CSS." Background images are the size they are. When this image is set to be the background, then it should be specified to repeat in the horizontal direction (repeat-x).
Here's some info on making a seamless tile:

There have been some recent threads on using gradients, just flip back a page or two (unless my mind's playing tricks on me and they're older).

Creating a white gradient over a photo

I need to create a white gradient text box over a background photo. Please take a look at this sample:
http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=13EWsrgyHCHak3Aqfn6SvNPkyvbNd
This was created with the blend tool, but I don't like the hard dropoffs at the edges of the white. I want to create a gradient white going top to bottom, but with an opacity dropoff (with soft edge) so top and bottom are 0 percent as shown.
The problem is, I can't figure out how to apply different opacities to different parts of the gradient. I'd like to make the center 100 percent, and grade out to zero top and bottom. Any way to do this? Or is there another tool I should be using?
Thanks,
Eugene

It's a dodle.
Let me introduce you to the wonderfull world of opacity masks.
Click on the layer (the white box in this case) that you want to fade at the edges, make sure the transparancy window is open (if not: Window>Transparancy) and left click the little arrow in the top right hand corner and click "Make opacity mask".
Now left click once in the little black box that's just appeared in the Transparancy window.
Now draw a box exactly over the white box (you can over the side edges with no problems in this instance, but it's best to do best practices).
Now with this new box selected create a gradient that goes from 100% black to white (in the middle) to 100% black again. You need to make sure it's pure black, I don't work in CMYK normally, but I know that if I am working in RGB I need to make sure I am using black and white RGB values and not CMYK (that could be "fixed" in CS4).
Make sure the gradient rotation is going the right way and your pretty much done.
You can alter the colour saturation levels to tweak the transparancy level.
Once your done click the left box in the Transparancy window.
Now your done, the Opacity Mask will remain attatched to your artwork until you de-tatch it.
Hope that helps and is actually what your asking for.
Regards
Paul

White background appears cream colored

Hi,
If I create a white background (#FFFFFF) or anything white for that matter in elements, it appears cream colored. Every other program on my computer handles white correctly.
I don't think I have done anything to the color profile. What should I do to correct this?
And what program should I trust to tell me the correct colors? My pictures look totally different in Picasa vs. Elements. I'm thinking Picasa is telling me the truth since white looks white.
Thanks

Go to Edit|Color settings. If it's set to 'Always Optimise for Color Screens', try setting 'No Color Management'. Otherwise, set optimisation for the screen. Did that make a difference? If it did, then the issue is most likely with the profile.
The French have a saying, "one doesn't argue about tastes and colours"; in other words, there is no such thing as absolute colour perception. Most of us tend to look for consistency rather than ultimate truth, and consistency is your problem.
If you can, it's always good to calibrate your monitor with a hardware calibrator. I use a Spyder2Express. With a calibrated screen, I see no difference between images in different programs (including PSE 6), provided that those programs recognise and use monitor profiles of course.
Hope this helps.

Erase a White Background on a Photo

I need to erase a white background on a photo of a wine bottle so a web host can use the bottle image without the white background but when I save the image with the background removed, it is still there when I open the saved jpeg image.

JPEGs don't support alpha-transparency.
If your image is a photo, Save for Web as PNG-24 with transparency.
If your image is a drawing, Save for Web as GIF with transparency.

Can't get white background

I want every container to have a white background. No matter
what I do the child panel gets a gray background. I've tried every
combination of backgroundColor, backgroundGradient,
backgroundAlpha, etc. that I can think of.
Here's one try, using styleName="plain", which is supposed to
create a white background. The application outside the panel is
white, but the panel is gray.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
styleName="plain"
dropShadowEnabled="false">
<mx:Panel title="Panel" dropShadowEnabled="false"
backgroundColor="#FFFFFF">
<mx:HBox>
<mx:Button label="Button" />
</mx:HBox>
</mx:Panel>
</mx:Application>
I'm pretty sure I didn't have this problem with beta 3.
Please, any method that gets a pure white background would be
appreciated.

With your sample, I tried adding
width="50%" height="50%"
to the <mx:Panel> tag, and then I saw that the main
content area of the panel
did in fact have a pure-white background; but the title area
and border area
of the panel are gray. With your original sample, the entire
content area is
filled with the button, and the button itself has a gray
background, so it
makes it appear as if the backgroundColor attribute had no
effect, when in
fact it did have an effect.
If you also want to set the title & border area of the
Panel to white, I found
that I was able to do that with
borderColor="#ffffff"
And there is also borderAlpha, which defaults to 0.4.

How do I remove the white background from a drawing

I have Elements 10 and I have scanned in a drawing and need to remove the white background from the drawing. Can someone please help me with this?

Double-click the background layer to make it a regular layer.
Use the magic wand and click in the white (experiment with tolerance level), make sure contiguous is NOT checked.
Press Delete.

Neale

I'm shooting great white screen but when I key out the white background, I have a very thin white outline around my person that I don't know how to soften without loosing some facial opacity. Any suggestions?

Hi,
I'm shooting white screen and FINALLY have my lighting, white balance, exposure and focus making a great looking, crispy clip! But when I key out the white background in a short segment, I'm left with a very thin, white outline around my person that I don't know how to soften, without loosing facial opacity. I only tried using the 'Edges' tool. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

set the wake-on lan on the main computer
The laptop's too far away from the router to be connected by ethernet. It's all wifi.
No separate server app on the laptop, it's all samba
The files are on a windows laptop and a hard drive hooked up to the windows laptop. The windows share server is pants, so I'd need some sort of third party server running. Maybe you weren't suggesting to use Samba to connect to the windows share though?
I'm glad that you've all understood my ramblings and taken and interest, thanks The way I see it, I can't be the only netbook user these days looking for this kind of convenience, and I certainly won't be once chrome and moblin hit the market.

jpg and pdf formats don't support transparency. You need to use a format such as tif, png or psd that does.

How do I create a transparent watermark for video from a white background logo in AI CC?

If I have a .PNG logo with a white background, how do I create a transparent watermark to use in video and photo content using Illustrator CC? Whenever I import the logo, it opens a new window without a transparent background. Thank you!

It's fairly easy if you know Ai. (Image trace is okay, but I'd recommend making your own (the right way), then use any Adobe pro video app to composite on your video, no need to export, just use the .Ai file)
But an easier way might be to use the .png by itself if it carries an alpha channel.
After Effects, PremierePro, and possibly AME will let you do this.
QT7 will also allow you to do it.
You could create a logo in Draw, then send it to Illustrator or Photoshop (it carries an alpha channel - bonus!)

Need white background on photos for website, can anyone help?

I dont have and dont know how to use photoshop but
have been told its what I need for this job. I am upgrading my website and have quite a few photos
that need a white background putting around them to make them clean and proffessional. Can anyone help me out? Am willing to pay for time. Typical
example is pic below. Need just the machine and not any of the messy background?

thanks for all the replies, very helpful. I could download a trial but fear even basic things would take an age for me to master.
Very nice graphic Noel Carboni, exactly what im after. Would you consider doing the photos? I have maybe 15 of them max I would like doing.
Re-taking pictures of a lot of them is not an option as they were special build machines and not our usual stuff.
