Jpg images have gray background

I am using Fireworks from CS3 and for some reason when I export an image as a jpg, the resulting image has a faint gray background, instead of being pure white as I had intended. How do I stop this from happening?

I had this happen as well using CS5. Is there a way to preavent this please?

Superimposed jpg image comes with unwanted background

hi.
I cut out an object from a jpg image and made a new jpg image with transparent background. Tested it on image editing program - the background is indeed transparent.
However, when i try to superimpose the image with transparent background on a video in PrE, the image is shown with a white background.
How do i remove that unwanted white background?

Great news!
In many Image editors, Transparency is not clearly deliniated, and it just looks white. With display settings in Photoshop, Transparency will be shown as a checkerboard pattern, but when one does a Save_As to JPEG, that clearly goes white, alerting the user to the lack of Transparency in the JPEG.
Good luck, and happy editing.

How can I load a gif or jpg in a JFrame (background)

I wanna load a gif or jpg image as a background at a JFrame. How can do this?
Thanks

I have tried that but my image always paints over the swing components. Could you give more a code snippet?

Stop Background Image in Table from Repeating

Since CS4 has unfortunately removed the button for Background Image for tables, I found a neat work-around on the internet: select the cell, then open the Tag Inspector panel, select the Attributes button and Show list view, and click inside "background" and use the folder icon to navigate to the background image. However, I can't stop the image from repeating. I've tried everything I can think of. Can anyone help me? No code responses, please. Thanks!

Well, in that case, the answer is no.
Quite honestly, if you're capable of searching for an answer on the internet, and using the Tag Inspector to add a background image, you should be capable of following simple instructions to handle CSS.
To add a non-repeating background image to a table cell (or any element, for that matter), you use CSS. Create a CSS class like this in the head of the page:
<style type="text/css">
.background {
background-image: url(images/bg.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
</style>
Select the table cell, and then choose background from the Class menu in the Property inspector.

Background Image In Table Cell

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong or missing here. This is the first time that I'm using an image as a background. I've made a table with a 100% width with 3 colums and 3 rows. The left and right table cells have been merged and the 3 middle rows are at a width of 938 pixels. I have cropped the images correctly. The right column lines up perfectly, but the left column does not line up like it's supposed to with the image. You can take a look at it by going to http://www.wattsconcepts.com/new
Here is the code below if anyone wants to take a look at it. Any help in solving this is greatly appreciated. I am using Dreamweaver CS5.5
Thank you for your time!

Also, you don't need 3 columns for this website. 1 column and 3 rows should do. Also, never use 100% for <table> width. It's bad practice as you're making your site fluid which will render your site to malfunction on some browsers
And you had the entire 3 sections as 1 image as your CSS body background-image. This is bad practice. Crop only what you want for each section, never give the entire merged site as 1 image.
Try the code I've given you above and it should work perfect.
A quick tip: Try learning and using DIV with pure CSS styling instead of tables. Tables are a thing of the past. You could just google it and you have tons of free resources on how to create a site using DIV. Also, there's a beautiful tutorial posted by one of our senior members here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/dw_html5_pt2.html that explains how to create HTML5 site with Pure CSS styling using DIV tags.

Stopping tiling in a table background image

I'm trying to stop the tiling of the background image within
a table in Dreamweaver 8.
It seems to be different then "no-repeat" for the general
background.
Was hoping someone could help me out.
Thanks.

You have no tiling control there at all.
Change this -
<table width="612" height="1081" border="0"
background="ess_web_ad_bg.jpg">
to this -
<table width="612" height="1081" border="0"
background="ess_web_ad_bg.jpg"
style="background-repeat:no-repeat;">

Repeating background images in tables

I am working on a web page with a background image in a
table. I have also inserted a table inside this same table to
include some text. When I preview this in Netscape/Firefox and
increase the text size a couple of times from the browsers menu,
the table with the image starts repeating as the text increases in
size. I don't mind the text changes sizes, but is there a way to
stop the table from repeating the background image? This is a
problem since the repeating image looks terrible.

On that page, change this -
</head>
to this -
<style type="text/css">
table.special { background-repeat:no-repeat; }
</style>
</head>
and then change your table tag from this -
<table width="100%" height="606" border="0" align="center"
cellpadding="0"
cellspacing="0">
to this -
<table width="100%" border="0" align="center"
cellpadding="0"
cellspacing="0" class="special">
(there is no table height attribute - it's invalid HTML)
> b, be too small, dependent upon which browser they are
viewed in.
Impossible. A background image will not change size in
different browsers.

Table background image

I created a site with a table holding the background image.
Other tables are within this containing the content.
It works fine but if i use a .png image for the background i
get a thin blue line at the top. see here:
http://proof.outoffocusonline.com/
(it is visible above contact).
If i make the background image a .jpg or a .gif this problem
disappears - that is with making NO other changes just the name
extension.
Any ideas why this occurs? and how can i fix it? - the image
does not look nearly as good in gif form due to the shadow/glow
effect. And jpg boosts the filesize by a lot.
thanks.

Does the PNG contain transparency?

Inserting table background image

I just upgraded from DW8 to CS4 and can't figure out how to
insert an image for a table background! The box and folder icon to
browse to the file I want is greyed out. Can anyone help?

This is CS4's way of telling you that you have to use CSS for
such things.

Repeating background jpg image

I have my swf file embed into an html page and currenly have
the background set to #000000. I want to change this to a jpg image
that repeats for the entire background. I want the swf file to
appear with a transparent background so the repeating image shows
through.
I have searched forums, but nothing seems to work for me. The
jpg image will be name "back.jpg" and is going to be located in the
same folder as the swf and html files.

I finally found this tech note on making the flash movie with
a transparent background. If anyone needs this info.
Transparent
flash movie
Then, all I needed to do was set html background image to my
jpg file, and it worked fine.

If I have a jpg with a white background around the actual image, is there any way to lose the white and just have the image?

How to print JPG image retrieved from BLOB in a table using Forms10g

I create a database schema and a Form to maintain JPG to the table PHOTOS.
I would like to add a button to PRINT just the PHOTO_IMAGE to its maximum size from a Form. How can I do that? Is thaere any built-in Forms functions to do that? If the client is using Windows XP, can I use CLIENT_HOST() to call a program to print the JPG file directly?
Any suggestion is welcome.

One pixel around borderless image in table

Hey,
I have an image in a table. I set the background color of the
table to a greyish blue, because the table is taller than the image
and i want there to be color below the image in the table. BUT ONLY
in the table. The width of the table is the same as the image. For
some reason, there is one pixel of the background color of the
table around the jpg, and I cant get it to go away. I tried
cellpadding="0", but that didn't do anything. I also tried negative
numbers, but taht didnt do anything either. Am I SOL or can I put
this image in the table without having the background exceed the
image?
Simple:
<table width="600" border="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td width="216"
background="../../Images/tablebgcolor.jpg"><p><img
src="../../Images/Old Main.jpg" alt="" width="216"
height="332"/></p>
</td>
<td width="374"> </td>
</tr>
</table>
Note that I used the image of the background color instead of
setting the background color itself. In either case it's the same,
and I can't get a different result. Thanks for the help,
--G

What happens if you remove the <p> tag around the
image?
<p> tags have a default padding, so unless you zero
that out or move the
image of of the <p> you'll get some spacing around it.

How to have a box layout on a JDialog, with an image set as background

Hi,
I need to have a JDialog in which there is a background image set (I already did this part, but only with the default layout). I further need to add text to the lower part of the JDialog. (For this, I guess I need to have a box layout.). I am not able to do so, because if I do so, I wont be able to set image background to the entire JDialog. Please help me out with how to solve this issue?
Thanks,
Joby

Hi jduprez,
Thanks for the reply. I checked Rob Camick's blog. It gives a nice way to add an image to a panel (*master panel*) and to use it.
I still have my problem open. The above solution gives panel that I can add to my JDialog. But on the bottom half of the image (as you said, BorderLayout.South), I need to add another structured set of components using a Border Layout again.!, ie, one more panel with a BorderLayout. So when I add
this panel, to the master panel containing the image, then the image gets cut off, at that point. I tried using component.setOpaque(false) on my sub-panel, still it does not work. Any idea, how to achieve this...?
Following is the code I have adapted.
public class BackgroundPanel extends JPanel
     public static final int SCALED = 0;
     public static final int TILED = 1;
     public static final int ACTUAL = 2;
     private Paint painter;
     private Image image;
     private int style = SCALED;
     private float alignmentX = 0.5f;
     private float alignmentY = 0.5f;
     private boolean isTransparentAdd = true;
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          Image img = getImage("D:/imgs/Snowdrop.jpg");
          BackgroundPanel panel = new BackgroundPanel(img);
          JDialog dlg = new JDialog();
          dlg.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
          dlg.add(panel);
          panel.setTransparentAdd(true);
          Panel nPanel = new Panel();
          nPanel.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
          JLabel label = new JLabel();
          //label.set
          label.setText("<html>HI<br>This is another line<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br></html>");
          nPanel.add(label, BorderLayout.NORTH);
          panel.add(nPanel/*label*/,BorderLayout.SOUTH);
          dlg.setSize(600, 500);
          dlg.setVisible(true);
     private static Image getImage(String fileName){
          File file = new File(fileName);
         Image image = null;
         try{
              image = ImageIO.read(file);
         catch(IOException ioe){
              /*JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(dlg, "Error in loading image file",
                        "Error", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE, null);*/
         return image;

               setImageAlignmentX( alignmentX );
