Light colored font on a dark background?

I am working with a photo/layers. My frame is a dark red and I want to put a cream font onto this. I can see my text box, but the actual writing doesn't show up. I've tried to switch the layers around and it still won't show the writing.
Thanks so much for your help!

"To create the frame I used the cropping tool, made the box larger than my pict. then applied the crop. This made my red frame."
I am not sure how you made the frame that way. When you made your crop selection, you should have gotten a red frame, showing the crop area. When you applied the crop, this red box should have gone away.
It sounds like your "frame" is the crop box, but I don't think you can do anything else (add text in your case) unless you confirm the crop (which you did).
Could you try this-Open your picture, use the Move Tool and slide one of the other text layers down to the "frame" area and see what the results are. If the same you have now, it seems the frame would be the problem. You can then close the file without saving any changes.

Brightness & light colored font-bad sound on HP Pavilion All-in-One, 20-b013w

I help correct learners of English, and when I record the sound on playback is horrible. I purchased a new mic, but the problem still exist. Seems like a lot of noise in the background. A big problem I have with the monitor is the brightness and light color of font. It is so light that it is very hard to read. For instance on this page, the blue lettering is hard to read with the screen being so white. I have a HP Pavilion 20 All-in-One, 20-b013w, and have the Windows 8 on the computer.
How can I improve the sound when I record using a microphone, and is it possible to darken the font and maybe change the contrast? I am not a computer expert by any means, so if someone can help me I would be very thankful.

Hello leatherneckco. I understand you're having some trouble with your microphone and your screen's brightness.
What program are you using to record your audio? Have you tried recording in another application?
A good first step is to uninstall and reinstall the drivers. Try the following.
From either the Metro or Desktop view press the Windows+X key combination. This opens the Context Menu.
Select Device Manager.
Expand the "Sound, video, and game controllers" section.
Right click on your sound card and select Uninstall.
After the uninstallation has completed you should reboot your notebook.
Once Windows loads it will reinstall the device.
Verify whether the issue persists and post the result.
You can adjust your brightness by following these directions or using the monitor's physical buttons. This document can show you how to change the settings related to your computer's fonts.
I'll keep an eye out for your reply. Have a good day.
Please click the white star under my name to give me Kudos as a way to say "Thanks!"

All my audio waveforms in FCPX have a lighter-colored, secondary waveform in the background. What does this represent?

ssia

They're called references waveforms. You can switch them on and off in the editing tab of preferences. They show you the full height of the waveform with spikes making ti easier to see the content when the sound levels are reduced and the full waveform is very small.

Font is blurry on dark background.

Hey everyone,
I'm experiencing very annoying trouble out here. My font rendering is kind of blurry when it comes to dark backgrounds. Here's a screenshot using Swyphs II color theme. My rendering is on the top of the screenshot, author's is at the bottom, after the red line.
http://berkana18.com/screen.jpg
This behavior is everywhere, where I have light text on dark background (excluding images of course).
Font smoothing in system perferences is set to 'Automatic', and i'm on Leopard, 23" ACD. Changing font-smoothing option does not affect it at all.
Any ideas, anyone?
Thanks in Advance.
Aleksandr.

Hi don jao;

OSX.6 change filename color black to white on dark background

OSX.6 change filename color black to white on dark background

Thanks for that, but what I asking was how to change the OSX default filename font color from black to white, so it becomes more easily visible when dark backgrounds are selected in icon view, eg the same way the Desktop default does, except when files are not on the Desktop.
or to put it another way:
if anyone's worked out an easy way to how to change the color of the font itself, rather than changing the folder/filename background using File, Label, Color, eg because light colors may already be in use as Labels, and so mean something else.
or as explored in this archived discussion:

Perhaps this is easy for programmers but not for users???

Bright Pixel on Light Colored Backgrounds

Hi fellow Mac Friends,
I have a quick question for you all that has been bugging me for over a month. I recently bought a Mac Book Pro and it came with a beautiful LCD screen with no issues. A few weeks after I bought it, it developed the awful whine that everyone was talking about. I took it to the Apple Store and they fixed it within a couple of days.
Great!
However when I got it back, a week later I noticed that now something was wrong with one of my pixels. The pixel is not stuck (Red/Green/Blue) nor is it dead (black or off) as far as I know. The pixel is bright but not all of the time. It is only abnormally bright on light colored surfaces and its brightest against white. Now as you know, most web pages have nice white backgrounds so this is painfully annoying. Emotionaly its hard to swallow after I just dropped so much money but the the impefection is painfully clear.
Despite my feelings on the subject, I was hoping someone else might provide some information on this. Is this a "dead" pixel? Or a "stuck" pixel? Or is this something fixable. I have tried all of the stuck pixel programs out there but I don't believe this is a dead or stuck pixel.
I have heard the term "hot" pixel but then I would assume that this pixel would burn white in all situations including dark backgrounds.
If there is any information out there that someone might know on this subject, I would greatly appreciate it!
Yours Truly,
Rilely

Right, that particular pixel would not be able to render all the colors. With dark backgrounds, the pixels are shuttered and not passing light. So even the sub-pixel where the color filter material has chipped off will not be illuminated and showing brightly. It will only be for certain colors and white where the brighter-than-bright pixel will show. You should be able to use a test program and determine which sub-pixel, R, G or B, has the missing color. Just put up successively an all red, all green and all blue screen. One of those screens should have a white pixel. If, for instance, the red screen has the white pixel, then it is the red sub-pixel that is missing it's color filter layer for that particular pixel. Here is a link to my favorite freeware program that can provide the required test patterns:

Settings>General>Accessibility>Increase Contrast
Settings>General>Accessibility>Bold Text
are some settings that may help.
There are other settings there ...they may not be to your liking but try them all anyways.
But that's about all you can do for now...except to voice your opinion to Apple here:

No you can change your wallpaper to make the font stand out more on your homepages and folders or you can adjustr the font size, bold and contrast here:

NOTE: Turning Bold text on will force your phone to reboot.

You did not answer my question in my reply to your other post

Did you try the suggestions in my other reply?
It is very rude and counterproductive to make a new post and not acknowledge replies to another post you made.

Problem: Light color shadow on top of black background when printing

Using InDesign CS3, PC.
I have a book cover design that looks perfect on screen. There is a section with a black background and colored letters on top of it. Also on top of this black background is an image of a dinosaur (made in illustrator CS3). The image was placed into the InDesign file and does not have any color to the background. But when it is printed (Xerox Phaser), there is a colored shadow where the image overlaps the black background section.
There are also colored areas over other black background sections where drop shadows (35%) occur on top of the black background.
Could anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? I have never dealt with 100% black in my designs before and I must be doing something wrong.
Again, on the screen you cannot see any of these colored areas on top of the black background. It's only when I print that they show up.
Thank you,
Cathy

HT1351 I bought a few songs and I have my ipod set up to manually sync. When I am trying to sync the songs they appear on my ipod in a lighter gray font color than the other songs and an error msg appers saying they cant be synced and to ask support.

When i bought songs and tried to manually upload them onto my ipod they appeared on my ipod in a lighter gray font than my other songs and an error message appeared saying to see apple support. i cannot delete the lighter gray songs from my ipod list or play them on my ipod, only itunes.

You got the new iphone????? I have same problem. I transferred audiobooks to device to find no audiobooks on device (despite it being in iTunes as if it was). Have you found a solution????? I even tried to change import settings on format transfer but hasn't worked.

How to change pdf (with dark background) so it print with white background and dark text??

I have lots of nice presentations I am studying- the problem is most of them were made in ppt with dark backgrounds and white text then converted to pdf files. So when I print them, I get a dark (black) background with white text- very annoying. Is there anyway to get it to print with a light (or no) backround with black text? This is much easier for note taking/etc. I have adobe acrobat professional.

Use the rectangle shape tool. Draw a rectangle over the entire frame. In the shape tab, color it whatever you want. Export your TGA sequence.
Andy
PS: But if you place a colored bkg in your motion project that you will effectively have no alpha channel. Are they referencing the TGA's alpha?

Can't see spot brush on dark background

I have just installed Photoshop CS4. When I try to use the spot healing box on a dark background,the target area is invisible as the target circle is black, as is the background. It's like trying to find a black cat in a coal mine.
What can I do to see the brush target circle.

we have asked for option to modify cursor lightness for over 4 versions or
to make it a color like red that can been seen on gray areas
Windows users are dissed once again by Adobe (blaming Microsoft OS) who say
it is not possible
I have been told Mac users get a cursor that changes color as it it used
over different areas
it is super annoying to try to use heal or clone on a gray background image
which applies to most film scans of B&W
I bought a scanner with ICE that was supposed to remove dust, only to find
it only works on COLOR images
ICE does not work to remove the dust from B&W negs so much spotting is
required
and the point to circle is really not a good workaround, we need to see the
brush size
I use the above mentioned adjustment layer method too
at least that feature has been improved to ignore the layers you don't want
included
