Images with white backgrounds are grey - macbook pro

When I create an image in photoshop or save an image from the internet with a white background, when I save it, it comes out grey. Photoshop says it's white (#ffffff) but it's not.
For example I made a banner with a white background on photoshop for my blog, which has a white background. But when I saved the image and uploaded it, the background of the image is grey and you can see the difference. How do you get it to be white again?

Took a few more photos, completely dark. It's more apparent when you're looking directly at it. These blemishes are perfectly aligned and centered from each other. The bleeding around the edges seems normal, but also displays large shadows and along other areas the bleeding transitions into the shadow.
Unfortuneately where I live there is no Genius bar to get this taken care of directly and once and for all. The display clearly needs to be replaced and a manufacturer defect, but the "Mac" service guys locally claim the defect is "barely" visible and accused me of causing the damage and claiming the blemish is above certain keys on the keyboard that cause it. Whichever. This MBP has had issues since the day it was purchased, logic board replaced, battery replaced, ultra drive replaced, etc... etc... this is becoming very annoying when I'm writing my Psychology papers for class. 
I've been very patient with AppleCare each time I call, but I'm not receiving any support from Apple regarding this issue. Ridiculous!

    This is a complex procedure.  
    Pull the power cord from the back of the Time Capsule
    Wait a minute or two
    Plug the power cord back in to the back of the Time Capsule
    This will fix the issue 98% of the time. If you are in the unlucky 2% category, more help is here from Pondini, the Time Machine guru:

    Hello jo90733,
    I would recommend reinstalling Mountain Lion to replace the missing/damaged components of these applications. While the process shouldn't affect any data (images, music, etc) you have on the system, it's always a good idea to have a backup in place prior to reinstalling.
    OS X Mountain Lion: Back up your Mac

    OS X Mountain Lion: Reinstall OS X
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10763
    Important: You need to be connected to the Internet to reinstall OS X.
    Choose Apple menu > Restart. Once your Mac restarts (and the gray screen appears), hold down the Command (⌘) and R keys.
    If you’re not connected to the Internet, choose a network from the Wi-Fi menu (in the top-right corner of the screen).
    Select Reinstall OS X, and then click Continue.
    Follow the onscreen instructions. In the pane where you select a disk, select your current OS X disk (in most cases, it is the only one available).
    To start the installation, click Install.

  • Since Mavericks update my iPhone and iPad calendars are NOT syncing with the calendar on my MacBook Pro

    Since Mavericks update my iPhone and iPad calendars
    are NOT syncing with the calendar on my MacBook Pro.
    I used to use iTunes but don't see the options now.
    Does anyone know how to set up a sync.?

    I have temporarily solved the sync problem by using an older MBAir running snow leopard, I exported
    both calendar and contacts and imported them in the MBA and synced normally.
    Since I'm not about to send my data on the cloud, or setup a server to just sync my iphone,
    I think this is a good workaround ! BTW I stopped updating my contacts and calendar on the MB, I only
    update the iphone until a permanent solution is found !
    And they better come up with one soon, because I'll just switch to an Android phone and Ubuntu linux for my MBP, Apple should make our lives easier, not harder !
    I'm sure Samsung is having a ball ever since the sync issue was made public !
    Hopefully Apple is listening and will make things right again !

  • S apple coming out with a new version for Macbook Pro MD101HN/A ? what should i go for Macbook Pro or Macbook air since my usage are basic mainy internet , word , excel , powerpoint etc.

    Is apple coming out with a new version for Macbook Pro MD101HN/A ? what should i go for Macbook Pro or Macbook air since my usage are basic mainy internet , word , excel , powerpoint etc.

    souvikfromKolkata,
    you’ll know as soon as the rest of us do if Apple decide to produce a new non-Retina model. My guess would be that they won’t do so, but that’s only a guess.
    With Internet, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint representing your main usage, either a MacBook Pro or a MacBook Air would be suitable for you.

    It is standard Mountain Lion error due to the networking ability which is comparable to wet string. (actually that was lion.. it dried out some with Mountain Lion.. higher in the hills perhaps!!)

    But many people are suffering the same issue..
    And the above is even a little out of date.. you might need to do a reset to the TC.

  • PNGs showing up with white backgrounds

    Hello.
    This is very odd as this has never happened to any of my other files that use the same buttons. My pngs that are saved with transparent backgrounds are now showing up with white backgrounds. They also only show up with white backgrounds when you do one of the following:
    Press F8 to preview the file
    Publish the file
    Has anyone else ever had a similar experience and/or figured out a solution? I have searched the discussion board for similiar experiences...I found one...http://forums.adobe.com/thread/86092. I'm going to play around with "interlace" in Photoshop so I'll keep my fingers crossed. I have also ensured my graphics are smaller than the background--one graphic is an 8kb file and the other is a 13kb file and my background is 112 kb.
    Any solutions and/or thoughts are greatly appreciated.

    I tried to airdrop Civilization V from a Macbook Pro with Mountain Lion to a Macbook Pro with Lion and it doesn't work. Other apps have but Civ V has not.

    Likely because it's a not self contained and/or it's game and copy protected, so install it via the developers instructions instead, which likely means it will have ot be uninstalled off the first machine, the developer contacted for a new license key before installing on the newer machine.
    If you want it on both machines, you will need to likely buy another license.
    Most developers are fine with transfering license between machines, you have to contact them.
    They just want to make sure it's only on one machine so they are not getting robbed.

  • Printing Images with Transparent Background

    Sorry if this question has already been asked, but I couldn't find anything similar to it in a search through the archives.
    I have a couple of images with transparent backgrounds in a document, much like the shells and the blue flowers in the "Classic Brochure" template in Pages 2.0.1. These images show up perfect on the screen, and when printed as .pdf files, but when I print to either an hp color laserjet 4600 or an hp laserjet 1320, the images show up with a clear box around them; the colors under the box (where it should be transparent) are faded and slightly blurred. This happens both with my document, and the unaltered "Classic Brochure" template. I've tried moving various objects backwards and forwards, but it doen't seem to have any effect. It even happens with one of the text boxes I have in the document.
    Another odd thing is that the printed "box" isn't the same size as the box that appears when you click on the object in the document. It's a bit bigger. I've seen other posts about problems with hp printers, but I'm not sure it's related. Any insight would be appreciated.

  • Framing image with transparent background png frame

    hi,
    i'm trying to find a way to frame images with transparent background png frames...
    what i'm doing now is
    1-drawing my image on a panel
    2-creating a 2nd image using the frame's filename, stretching this 'frame-image' to a size slighlty larger than that of my main image and drawing the 'frame-image'
    the problems with this method are:
    1-depending on the width of the frame, the frame sometimes hides parts of the image (thick frame), and sometimes there is a gap between the frame and the image (thin frame).
    2-if the image file containing the frame is larger than the frame (Ex: The image is 300x300, the frame is centered in this image and is 200x200; as opposed to the image is 200x200 and the frame takes up all the space), when i position the 'frame-image' near the top left corner of the image i want to frame, the frame appears at the wrong place (shifted down and to the right). This is due to the fact that i'm placing the top corner of the created 'frame-image' and not the frame, who is not in the top corner of my 'frame-image'.
    Is there a way to do what i'm trying to do???
    My ideas (which i don't know how to achieve are)
    1-To 'analyse' my transparent background png file and
         1-only keep the frame,
         2-calculate the frame's thickness
    OR
    2-Let java do the analyzing for me and tell it to frame my image with the frame in the png file
    please feel free to ask for more explanations if my description/question is confusing,
    thanks.

    Have you looked into the Border interface? If what you really want to do
    is put a custom border on a component, you may be able to do it this way.
    Anyway, here is some code that stacks and centres 2 images. It's not hard to do.
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.image.*;
    import java.io.*;
    import java.net.*;
    import javax.imageio.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    public class Example extends JComponent {
        private BufferedImage backgroundImage;
        private BufferedImage foregroundImage;
        public Example(BufferedImage backgroundImage, BufferedImage foregroundImage) {
            this.backgroundImage = backgroundImage;
            this.foregroundImage = foregroundImage;
        public Dimension getPreferredSize() {
            int w = backgroundImage.getWidth();
            int h = backgroundImage.getHeight();
            return new Dimension(w, h); //assuming this is bigger
        protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
            super.paintComponent(g);
            int w = getWidth();
            int h = getHeight();
            //paint both, centred
            int x0 = (w-backgroundImage.getWidth())/2, y0 = (h-backgroundImage.getHeight())/2;
            g.drawImage(backgroundImage, x0, y0, null);
            int x1 = (w-foregroundImage.getWidth())/2, y1 = (h-foregroundImage.getHeight())/2;
            g.drawImage(foregroundImage, x1, y1, null);
        public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
            URL url1 = new URL("http://weblogs.java.net/jag/Image54-large.jpeg");
            URL url2 = new URL("http://weblogs.java.net/jag/DukeSaltimbanqueSmall.jpeg");
            JComponent comp = new Example(ImageIO.read(url1), ImageIO.read(url2));
            final JFrame f = new JFrame();
            f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
            f.getContentPane().add(comp);
            f.pack();
            SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable(){

  • Print 3D PDF document with white background

    Hi!
    Is it possible to print a view from 3D PDF document with white background?
    I could not find any possibilty to change the grey background color, neither in the standard preferences nor in the print options...
    Thanks for your help!
    Kind regards,
    Mark

    Hi,
    As you experienced all DIALOG function modules will not work in Batch because the is no connection with a frontend (PC).
    You have to get your PDF on a server so you can process them in Batch.
    Maybe you can than use the FM: ALINK_DOCUMENTS_CREATE_FILE
    Success,

    How do I delete my user ID photo, taken with the camera in the MacBook Pro (when you first buy and set up the computer...).  The photo keeps appearing randomly, even after I've changed it to a "better picture".  I can't get the change to "stick".  Anyone else having trouble with this?  Thanks!

  • Will Windows 7 Pro run with 16GB of Ram in Macbook Pro Early 2011 13-inch?

    Will Windows 7 Pro run with 16GB of Ram in Macbook Pro Early 2011 13-inch?, Does the brand of the Ram matter ?
    I installed Crucial 16 gb and the Mac runs just fine but Windows won't start. It gets to the login screen then it turns white.

    I decided to make another try today after some reading and googling the internet.
    I started windows with my old 4GB memory and changed the bootconfiguration with msconfig. I typed manually in max memory tp 16384 MB and saved the settings. Then I turned it off and inserted the 16GB ram again. Then it started really but when looking at the properties of my computer it says 16 GB installed but I can only use 2,16GB. So I opened msconfig again and changed the settings once more and restarted. Now it says 16GB installed but I can use 14,2GB so I guess it is ok now for some strange reason. I suppose the lost 1,8GB is for the system ?? Do I dare to turn it off again :-) what will it say next time ?
    I am so happy and greatful for all your help, I really really appreciate it and I hope my solution will come to use for someone else with same problem.
    Thank You all :-)

  • Image with transparent background als foreground of a button

    I'd like to build an app with buttons using the phone's accent Color as Background and an Image with transparent Background as foreground of the button. It should look like the tiles on the start screen of WP8.1.
    The following code doesn't work (no foreground appears)
    <Button x:Name="myButton" Background="{ThemeResource PhoneAccentBrush}">
     <Button.Foreground>
         <ImageBrush ImageSource="/Assets/myImage.png"/>                    
     <Button.Foreground>
    </Button>
    Are there any ideas?
    Thanks
    Martin

    Hi mfv_technet,
    The Foreground property is used to get or set a brush that describes the foreground color. So we can not bind the Foreground to a image,
    if I do not misunderstand you, in my mind if we want to set the button look like the tiles on the start screen of WP8.1, maybe you can try to refer to the following xaml:
    <Button x:Name="myButton" Foreground="Red" Background="{ThemeResource PhoneAccentBrush}" Margin="116,136,0,363" Width="195" Height="141">
    <Button.Content>
    <StackPanel Orientation="Vertical">
    <Image Source="/Assets/myImage.png" Width="80" Height="80"></Image>
    <TextBlock Text="Button"></TextBlock>
    </StackPanel>
    </Button.Content>
    </Button>
    The result:
    If I have misunderstood you, please feel free to let me know.
    Best Regards,
    Amy Peng
