Need to change background to white

I need to change backgrounds of jpg files to white. Can someone tell me how to do this? I use Photoshop CS4. I am a novice woth Photoshop.

Sounds like you want to select your subject then remove the background. This is a fairly common operation, for example to put subjects on different backgrounds (different in your case is white).
See this video by Russell Brown for ideas on masking a subject from a background:

Change background to white on headshot. new to iPhoto. thanks

change background to white on headshot. new to iPhoto. thanks

That's not a feature of iPhoto. You'll need an external editor for that kind of work:
In order of price here are some suggestions:
Seashore (free)
The Gimp (free)
Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
Acorn ($50 approx)
Pixelmator ($50 approx)
Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store.
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

Change Background to White & Text To Black

Hello,
I am trying to use FCP7 to change my background to white (rather than black) and my text to white.
I used View -> Background -> White and then changed my text colour to white.
Everything seems fine in my timeline, and is rendered.
But when I go to Export video, the export has a blackbackground and no text.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Marc

Thanks Nick, I asked a friend about Color Matte. You were right. The next step is chose Color Solid then change that color from blue to white. Then add a new track and insert slug with the white color matte and all is good! Thanks!

Why hasn't the crashing of iBooks been addressed? You cannot read a book as it crashes after every 3 or 4 pages, dims for no reason and changes background from white to dark. Please address our issues. Using iPad Air. Thank you

iiBook, iPad Air, repeatedly crashes since recent iOS updates.

We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you are not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
What, if anything, have you tried to see if it fixes it e.g. closing the app via the iPad's taskbar, soft-reset, turning Settings > iBooks > Online Content 'off', backing up (and copying purchases over to your computer's iTunes library) and restoring ?
For the brightness and background, what settings do you have i.e. if you open a book and tap the AA icon at the top right do you currently have 'auto-night theme' set 'on' ?

How do I change background color to white when looking at single image?

I know I can go to 'preferences' and choose white backgrounds but this changes only the background of the page that shows all my photos together. If I select one photo to view, the background turns to black again - as it does if I view an image at screen size. Can I change these backgrounds to white? I think black ***** the life out of images and makes them appear smaller and would prefer to always see my images against white, as in a book. Since I work with images and colours this is very important to me.

As I’m sure you recall from your careful reading of the Terms of Service you agreed to when you joined the Apple Discussions, this is a User to User forum. Apple aren’t here. They don’t promise to read anything here. If you want to ask Apple something you’ll need to do it elsewhere.

I need to change the background color of a photo to white and then shrink the head of a photo for a passport and make the picture output a 2x2.
Can someone help. Thx

Here are the requirements for US passport. Scroll down for the passport tool to make the picture utilizing one on your disk.
http://travel.state.gov/passport/pptphotoreq/pptphotoreq_5333.html
If you decide to make it in Elements and print it, you should have a resolution of 240-300 px/in for a good output. I suggest that you print the 2 photos on good quality paper, probably both on 4x6 stock, and trim with scissors to specification.
Open your picture and go to Image>resize>picture size, and check the resolution. If it is less than 240 px/in, enter 240 in the field and see if the dimensions remain adequate. If not, you may have to resize.
Use one of the selection tool, e.g. lasso tool, or selection brush tool, to select head and shoulders
Go to Edit>copy to put the selection on the clipboard
Open a new, blank file (File>new>blank file) 2.25 x2.25", resolution the same value as your picture, background white
Go to Edit>paste. The picture will be on its own layer
Access the move tool to position it, and to resize with the corner handles of the bounding box, if necessary
Please report back with your progress.

Template page width changed background now grey and white

I am using a beginners template from codify design studio and I was asked to make the top of the page 100%. AFter that the right side shows grey where there is no text and no contianers. I tried figuring it out by looking at the code (comparing the original to the changed code); but I cannot see what the problem is or what I can do to fix it. I also tried to make the background tile white and that did not work. Here is the index:

Hi,
You need to give us the link to your site because pasting the code as you are doing is not the way because we can't see the code from the picture of your site (except that there is something wrong!). Could you post a link to your site so that this can be resolved. It is a matter of centering your container/wrapper so that there is an equal amount of space on both sides and we can also tell you to enter the code manually to make the empty space white (rather than gray).
Hope this helps.

How do I change the background colour on notes. I need a darker background due to a visual issue. Apple has now discriminated those with visual issues. I am so not happy with many of the new changes because of this.

I am so not happy with the new changes especially when it come to the ability to change background colours, fonts and font sizes/ colours... Does Apple really think that their only audience is the young cool crowd or people who do not have a visual impairment. Think before you make changes to your software and programs. You WILL lose more people to androids if you continue this way.
At least give users the ability to make apps like notes their owned by allowing them to pick the style, theme, background and colour, font size and colour.
A very ****** off Apple user who is now looking at Androids.

Hi Tricia,
I'm sorry but I don't see an ideal way to do this. Is it the yellow label text, e.g: "New" against the white background which is causing the difficulty?
The only way I've found of getting the colors to change in Notes is via Settings>General>Accessibility>Invert Colors but then it looks like something has barfed all over your screen.
I'd be very, very surprised if Apple do not fix this, firstly because I believe "Accessibility" is a legal matter and secondly because they will not want to cause difficulty for their customers. We have to remember that this is a major, major overhaul of iOS, it has essentially been taken back to the drawing board and done from scratch again, it may take a little time, but I'm sure they will fix these issues.

Steve

How to change transparent PDF background into white background?

Hi all, I have some text documents in PDF format and would like to edit it in photoshop CS5, but each time I open them up in photoshop, the background seems to be transparent (tiny grey and white tiles), which is very eye tiring when editing/annotating with a wacom pen, how to fill the background total white? Thanks.

Ah, easy one. Create a new layer{Layer>New Layer}, then fill it with a color{Edit>Fill}Change content of the fill box to a color of your choosing.
If you have windows the short cut for filling with foreground is alt-backspace and filling with background is ctrl-backspace. Short cut for fill dialog box is shift-backspace or shift-F5.
A faster way to create a new layer is to use the icon just to the right of the trashcan at the bottom of the layers panel.
A bit over winded in directions, but once you learn the shortcuts, it will be a snap to do.

I am running my first time machine backup onto a Western Digital MyBook Live. It is taking forever. Is there antivirus software running in the background or any other settings I need to change to speed it up? Also I am on a wireless network.

I am running my first time machine backup onto a Western Digital MyBook Live. It is taking forever. Is there antivirus software running in the background or any other settings I need to change to speed it up? Also I am on a wireless network.

The initial Time Machine backup can certainly take a long time over wireless. Days, possibly. It's impossible for anyone here to be able to predict how long it will take, and wireless environmental conditions can change at any time.
Is there antivirus software running in the background
Only you can determine that. If you're using third party AV software, anything is possible.
NAS devices may not be compatible with Time Machine, regardless of what their manufacturers may claim. Even after the Time Machine backup completes, your backup may be unreliable. You may not discover that until you need to rely upon the backup for some reason, and corruption can occur months or years from now.
Time Machine supports the following backup configurations:
A locally mounted volume
Time Capsule
A volume resident on a USB hard disk connected directly to a Time Capsule or current production AirPort Extreme Base Station.
That's it. Any configuration other than the above list places you in an experimental category. If your backup fails, you're on your own.

I cannot hear the singer on my songs now, only the music and background singers. Is there a setting that I need to change?

The music on my daughter's iPod will not play the lead singer, she can only hear the music and background singers. It is almost like listening to karoke music. Is there a setting I need to change to get it back to normal?

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Check also Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing. Make sure that the sound balance is not set all the way to "R".
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.
iPhone Repair, Service & Parts: iPod Touch, iPad, MacBook Pro Screens
Replace the jack yourself

Need Red background with white lettering?

I'm trying to create a document A4 with a complete RED background - no margins etc just as a borderless print - i then want to print some large text onto the RED background in White text.
I cannot for the life of me find out how to do it - any ideas please
thanks
ianjh

Place a rectangular object onto your document, and size it the way you'd like. Open the Inspector and choose the Graphic tab. Change the color to the shade of red you like. Select the Text tab in the Inspector, click in the object with your mouse and type your text. Finally, change the color of your text to white

Change menus to black background and white text (not invert colors option)?

I have an iPhone 5 on the way to me as I got one for a very good price. I am visually impaired. I currently have a Samsung Galaxy s3 which is crapping out on me after having it for a long time). One of the features I love about it is, the menus (settings, contacts, etc etc) are in high contrast (black background with white text, which is much easier on my eyes and easier to read. It is my understandiing that the iPhone is not the same way. I had a friend look on his, and the only option he found was the "Invert colors" option. The reason I don't want to use that is because it inverts ALL colors for everything on the phone, including pictures. t just want to invert the colors in all the menus so I can read them easier. Is there any way to do this? BTW it's running IOS 8.

the invert colors option is the only way to achieve that on iPhone currently
you should go to http://www.apple.com/feedback/ and request that feature added, I think a lot of people would use that
