In Aperture, how do you put a background layer behind text?

How do you put a background layer behind the text to offset the color of the pic from the text color? Right now, some pics have whites and blacks that drown out the text, making it hard to read...

I forgot: if you rather want to add a background instead of changing the color of your text:
To add a background behind a texbox,
simply edit the layout (Click "Edit Layout", click "+") and add a Photo Box;
drag the PhotoBox behind your text field.
click "edit content" and add a picture to the background box.
You'll need to import a suitable background photo, or crop some suitable background from one of your images.

  • How do you set a background image in Pages?

    I have a simple question. How do you set an image to be the background of a Pages '09 document? How do you put a JPG image behind your regular body text? Surely it's possible, but I can't figure out how to do it.

    You just didn't took care to the status of your picture.
    It was an inline one
    Change its status to floating and the menu item is no longer grayed.
    This kind of features are described in Pages User Guide which is also for you

  • How do you make the background of an object transparent in Adobe Illustrator?

    Hello Forum.
    How do you make the background of an object transparent in Adobe Illustrator?
    I have been having issues with using the Magic Wand tool in Adobe Illustrator as well as the lasso tool.
    Basically, I am trying to put a small graphic into a new Illustrator file.
    The first thing I tried to do is to use the magic wand tool.  But I found out that this did not work on a jpeg image since it did not have any individual objects to select.
    So I tried something new.  I opened the file in Adobe Photoshop and used the lasso tool to select an area.  Then I coped this area.  Then I tried to paste it into Adobe Illustrator.  But the background was not transparent for the pasted image.
    How do I make the background transparent.
    I made this small video to show what I am talking about:
    http://youtu.be/2LgMGEF6z10

    Don't Copy/Paste the image.
    Make it transparent in Photoshop, save a PSD and place it in Illustrator

  • HT1918 How do you put none as a payment method once you have put in card details

    How do you put none as a payment method once you have put in debit card details ( ios7 )

    Hi again Kiran.
    I managed to solve my problem myself and I did it accordingly to the two threads I referred to in my first post. Through the tool "IE Developer Toolbar" I was able to see that the css used in the Top Level Navigation wasn't at all the ones in the par file but a totally different one. So it wasn't strange that the code you provided me with didn't work.
    Not sure about modifying that other css I once more looked at the solution of putting a special entry in the theme editor, like the first thread gave a tip about, and this time it worked.
    In the theme editor, section Top Level Navigation and there in the attribute fields for background color of selected and unselected tabs, I put the following code:
    ;background: url(/irj/portalapps/com.sap.portal.navigation.toplevel.modified/images/gradient_white_grey.gif)
    It also seems like a relative link doesn't work, I tried this one first and had no success:
    ;background: url(../images/gradient_white_grey.gif)
    I don't know the reason to why it didn't work the first time with full url but I could think of the following:
    - I had space between "url" and "(/irj/...)".
    - I didn't clear the cluster and local cache under "System Administration > Navigation".
    - I didn't clear the browser cache.
    I don't dear to speculate in the most plausible explanation but doing them all isn't that much of a work.
    Thanks for your support, full points are given since you led me to the solution.
    Best regards
    Benny

  • How do you put safari web pages into icloud with the safari iCloud button?

    how do you put safari web pages into icloud with the safari iCloud button?

    What that button does is sync your tabs between your devices. So if you have multiple macs with Mountain Lion and/or devices with iOS 6 (once it comes out this fall) you can pick up where you left off. For example, let's say I have apple.com, nytimes.com, and facebook.com open on my mac, but I need to run. Later, if I need to use another computer in my household, I can just restore the tabs that I was using before on this other mac.

    How do you put a PDF as a hyperlink into iWeb

    Hi, I have a similar problem, but this doesn't fix it.
    I want my website users to be able to download a pdf from my site (normally by right-clicking on the line). The web browsers (Safari/Firefox) simply allow you to view the pdf in a new window or tab, but it's not very reliable. Here's an example. Go to my site:
    http://www.cornerstoneguernsey.co.uk/cornerstoneguernsey.co.uk/Our_Menus.html
    and try to download a copy of this:
    2011:2012 3 part menu.pdf
    I know it used to work, but since the tons of upgrades I've done recently, now my customers are having terrible problems getting our menu!
    Many thanks in advance.

  • How do you change a background color in Lightroom 4.4 ?

    Hi ..please how can you make a background color change in Lightroom 4.4  ?@

    If you are talking about the surrounding background of the photo while in Library Loupe View or in Develop, that you can select among 3 levels of gray, black or white in the Preferences / Interface settings.
    If you are talking about the photo itself, you need to be a bit more specific about what you'd like to do.

    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 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.
