Off-white backgrounds

Hi
Just lately, the last few months when I start to record something in Captivate 4 everything seems fine, i look at the source code and its fine.  White backgrounds, the mouse moving along etc.
When i publish/preview the course the backgrounds are an off-grey colour instead of pure white.  The mouse moves along but the second it clicks i get a white horizontal line.  Same for text being typed, the background is grey, then theres a horizontal block all the way across the screen where the text animation plays.
I could export every background graphic, make it pure white, or delete the strange mouse animations and try to add them but obviously that'll take some time.
Anyone else come across this ?  Recording where theres lots of white screens and then when you publish it its off grey ?
Any ideas ?
Regards

Hi there
If this is full motion capture, perhaps change the setting to 32 bit? (Edit > Preferences > Recording > Full Motion Recording
Or if it's not Full Motion Recording, perhaps select the slides in question, right-click them and change the Video Quality.
Cheers... Rick

  • How do you Whiten an off-white background in PSE (pic of a person with a shadow)?

    I have PSE10 on my PC. I use it to edit photos I take of people in a studio set up with a white background and white vinyl on the floor.
    Currently I whiten the BG and floor by, 1) using a Levels layer (to darken the image) and then 2) apply the Dodge tool (set to highlights) to the original image.
    It is good (a bit time consuming) but when I get to the shadow of a person I don't know how to edit the shadow of the person. If I leave the shadow alone, the photo then looks odd!! Currently I use the Dodge tool (set to Shadows at about 75%) and go over the shadow to lighten it a bit which seems okay but I wanted a method from someone that was familiar with editing studio pics of people...ideally something that was a guided/automatic edit but any manual method would do.
    2 examples I have seen thus far are;
    Using Curves in CS to whiten the background (which is quick and easy and automatically lightens the shadows of the subject to provide a natural look) but only 'Colour' Curves is available in PSE and I am not sure if this will do the same job?
    Using Set White Point in Levels and then use the mask and paint brush to paint the subject back in but I am not sure of every step and don’t know how well this works and if it is of any use when it come to the shadow of a person?
    Please provide a step by step guide on your method of doing this.
    Thanks in advance :-)

    Have you tried Enhance...Adjust Lighting...Shadows/Highlights?

  • JPEG white background not correctly converted when image loaded

    I have a JPEG of type COLOR_ID_YCbCr whicj appears to have been created in Photoshop. When I view it in most tools, the background is white. If I convert it into a BufferedImage using JAI, ImageIO it has a dirty, off-white background.
    Any suggestions on how I might get it to convert correctly?
    Regards,
    MArk

    after using  high fidelity image trace  i hit expand, then i went to layers and hit the drop arrow by my thumbnail, which then shows <Group>,hit that drop arrow and it will show a list of all your paths, the very bottom one was my white background, you can click the eye or delete that path and it disappeared for me. i was using a png file with a transparent background, and nothing else worked for me, it always converted with white background, i never saw this mentioned anywhere, and accidentally discovered it, hope it works!!!

  • White Background Image how do I take off?

    Hey guys, recently I made my first project and it looks like this:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXQEDreFoe4
    Problem im thinking of doing the same concept but I dont want the white background of the image.
    Does anybody know how I can erase the white background and only show the red/black letters? Thank you!

    A media player will always have a background. If you remove any colored background you'll get black, not transparent because no media player, not YouTube, not Vimeo, not Widows Media Player, not Quicktime, will render a transparent background. Without seeing a screenshot of your project with all properties revealed by pressing the U key twice, it is impossible to give you step by step instructions for changing the background but the most likely solution is to turn off or delete the bottom layer and replace it with something else.

  • 'Filmstrip" transition background changed to aqua green and off white...how do I get it back to white? FCPX

    Editing a piece it was complete. We went back and omitted a word in the transistion 'filmstrip'. The background is now an off white yellow on "pand down fast' and the 'pan down slow' is a light blue or aqua. These are my selections I can't redo the transistion since my transistion backgrounds are now these colors. I rebooted and restarted....please apple gods give us back FCP7! I'm doing this in FCPX.
    thanks
    Lee

    You are not giving a lot of information and/or a bit of confusing terminology. What do you mean by "missong a word in a transition"? Transitions are no text. Maybe you meant a title? Or are you applying a transition to a title? What exactly has changed color? Why can't you delete the transition and add it again? Perhaps posting an image of your timeline and what you are seeing in the viewer will clarify and allow us to help effectively.

  • The background in my iphone4s is off-white where it should be white

    The background on my iPhone 4s is off-white where it should be white. Anybody else experienced this?

    are you zoomed in too far to see that part of the layer that has content?  Does the layer you have selected definitely have content?  Try using Ctrl/Cmd 0 to zoom back to fit to screen.

  • IPhone 6-Darkish band and off yellow color top of screen on white backgrounds.

    I'm wandering if anyone is experiencing the following concern that I have? I own the iPhone 6 Silver/White with 16GB mem.
    Across the top of the screen on white backgrounds there seems to be a dark shadow cast from the edge.The dark shadowing is most pronounced towards the upper right corner of the screen, slightly in the bottom left (when the phone is held normal... Home button on the bottom (AKA touch ID), volume rocker on the left side).
    In the first image you will observe the the upper right corner of the phone is located to the top-left of the image near "21 SEP-Sunday."
    In the second image you will observe that I have rotated the screen/phone 180 degrees. The upper right corner of the phone will be in the bottom right of the image. You'll also notice that there is a dark band that runs across the top of the screen, slightly on the bottom.
    I noticed this on some of the iPhone 6s at my local Apple store as well. It seemed most common with the White/Gold-silver models. The Black/Space Grays mostly had pristine screens when I compared mine next to them. I was going to show an Apple rep, but there were, no kidding, hundreds of folks waiting in two lines for an iPhone 6. So I didn't bother. I called Apple for a replacement, but they said I would need to send them the phone back first and they do not offer collateral and allowing me to keep the phone until a replacement arrives. That's bogus :-(

    buldogg77, nbuubu and bwible.
    I decided to return the iPHone 6. I have not had good experience with Apple products. I purchased three recently, which all had major issues (purchased within weeks of the iPhone 6). I had a 5s, which was going into low-signal mode and burning out the battery before mid-day. I had a Mac-Mini that kept dropping the wifi signal and had issue reconnecting when waking from sleep (this became nearly useless for anything online) and a iPhone 5c that could not be activated (a complete brick). The 5c was the last purchase (on-top of the Mac-Mini) that made me give up. I was not going to exchange four products that cost around $2k.
    I ended up ordering the Moto X second Gen. It has an amoled display and amoleds typically don't have uniformity and hot pixel issues. Also, I got accidental coverage, accessories and 32GB of memory for less than I did for the purchase of the iPhone 6 16GB (about $600 after $50 student rebate). I also found Siri was not as good as Google's voice services (or directions for that matter) and the OS was not as intuitive with multitasking IMO.
    I am a fan of Apple products overall and it's unfortunate Foxconn is doing them a disservice. Hopefully you all get your issues worked out. I'm baffled at how Apple products tend to get the best reviews on screen quality. Before a review should be given on accuracy, how about back-light uniformity? That is just as important for the overall user experience IMO.

  • Any way to get rid of the awful white background in grid view?

    The old dark background was infinitely easier on the eyes, and more attractive. When I look at stuff in grid view now it gives me a headache. Any chance of changing this back via terminal or something?

    I would also like to know how to get rid of ugly *** white background. It ****** me off every time I have to look at it. There is nothing that I see here as being an improvement over the last itunes.

  • Photo template with white background #ffffff appears gray online, using Photoshop CS5.

    Aloha! I am stumped with this and need your help.
    Here's what I want to do: Create a seamless white border around my photo on a white background (blog post area is white). I am using Photoshop CS5.
    I've tried saving the file as PNG, GIF, and JPG but all appear as gray in the area I want as white.
    Photo below is how my image appears on a white background. The area surrounding the photo and behind the word "example" is the gray area that is white #ffffff on PS but appears otherwise when posted online (my blog on Blogger).
    The top image is a PNG file, the bottom is a GIF. The GIF is slightly better but still gray. I would like the surrounding area to be pure white so it just blends into the white background (post area).
    This is the image I see on PS, it is white in the areas surrounding the center photo, this is how I intend the final image to look like:
    I've even chosen my background (while creating a new document) as white for the background color. I've even tried a transparent background but all that did was make it worse and turn the transparent background to black when I post the image online.
    Here's a screen capture of my layers (not sure if this info is necessary but I do need help).
    If anyone would like to help me with this I'd really appreciate your assistance.  Thank you so much!!

    Mylenium, I went back in and took screen shots of what I found according to your article. I finally found color settings.
    And as for "view", I couldn't find this part in your article: View--Proof Setup enable Monitor RGB and make sure Proof Colors is enabled."
    This is a capture of what I find:
    Where do I check off under Proof Setup?
    Thanks again!

  • IPad Air White Mark/Bubble Noticable on White Background

    I have the new iPad Air and notice on a white background it has a white mark/bubble on the screen, it is not on top it is under the glass, any ideas please, I am thinking as its only week old I should maybe change it?

    I'm pretty sure an appoinment is mandatory now (you have to supply your Apple ID when you make one) to have a Genius look at your device. I've read that people were abusing the Genius Bar (making appointments, then selling off the appointments to those that didn't want to wait as a walk-in). You could certainly try a walk-in or at least call the store to see.

  • White backgrounds need to be white!

    Hi
    I'm new here, excuse the basic query.  I have a background to an image which is off-white.  I need it white.  I have tried using the Image>Adjustments>Replace Colour tool but the white remains off-white.  What am I doing wrong?
    Jason

    *Make sure you merge the levels layer with the image before doing the steps below
    Lots of ways, but i'm kinda partial to the following provided your object is black.
    a. With the image in question open, Select-All
    b. Edit-Copy
    c. Add two fill layers Layer-New Fill layer-Solid Color
       Make the top fill layer black
    d. Alt click on the top fill layer's mask
    e. Edit-Paste
    f. Ctrl+I  (Invert)
    g. Select-Deselect
    h. press the backslash key to show the rgb  composite
    i. use the second fill layer to change the background color to verify you have no white fringe
    When your satisfied make a new blank layer below the top fill layer, make the top fill layer active and merge down Ctrl+E

  • White background causes colour shift

    Ran into a bit of a strange problem... am sure there's a simple explanation...
    Gradient or solid colour in the blue range set at 40% transparency
    1/ When placed on a blank surface (no background) looks ok
    2/ When placed over an underlying white background gets a magenta tinge
    Questions:
    1/ Which is the true colour?
    2/ What will i get when printing by offset?
    3/ The following seem to be the affected / effects:
    a/ CMYK Red (0, 100, 100, 0)
    b/ CMYK Yellow (0, 0, 100, 0) - NO effect
    c/ CMYK Green (100, 0, 100, 0)
    d/ CMYK Cyan (100, 0, 0, 0)
    e/ CMYK Blue (100, 100, 0, 0)
    f/ CMYK Magenta (0, 100, 0, 0) - looks paler
    Attaching a test file...
    Edit: Here's the jpg

    The question now remains is, is this just an optical illusion (meaning visible only on the screen) or is will it translate into print?
    That's a very easy thing for you to test yourself, Shunith. Just print seps to a PostScript laser printer or to Adobe PDF.
    If you do the latter, and then open the resulting PDF in AI, you'll find that the result is the same whether the screen display option is on or off. If you build the test file like mine, you'll also find that the C, M, Y, K filled rectangles are split into three paths each, where they overlap the white object below. Their grayscale values, however, will be the same.
    You'll further find that the black text adjacent to, but not intersecting with the "translucent" rectangles is present on all four seps, but is white on all but the black sep. On each sep, the other three sets of rectangles are present as well, also filled with white.
    In short, Illustrator does all kinds of "untidy" smoke-and-mirrors things when it creates PDFs and prints/exports files with transparency features (and when doing live effects like Compound Shapes). You choose to "trust" these convoluted constructs when you use such features as-is.
    I would not be at all surprised if someone on AI's development staff said that the display aberation noted in this thread is by design. As I said, I neither pretend to understand, nor would necessarily agree with, the "logic" for it.

  • Color match the 'white' background of 2 images

    I created an image with two cubes and added two dices to show the scale of the cubes. It seemed ok, but when I looked from a different angle I noticed the white of the background of the dices is different from the white of the total picture. How can I easily correct the background without messing up the shadows of the dices?

    You can use levels to pull off white to white. Try levels as an adjustment layer first, as that is non-destructive meaning to you alter or remove that layer any time in the future.

  • .ai file to indesign white background woes.

    First off the specs: Mac OS 10.6.3 running CS4 all updates.
    I have a picture, placed in Illustrator, gave it that reflect look. I now want to put it in indesign. I get the white background. It works fine if I dont do any effects, but thats pretty much useless. This is what I have done in pictures:

    I am sure I am missing something small, but its driving me nuts.

    if this needs to eventually go to print, i'm going to make you do it the smart way
    go into illustrator
    file, export
    select .tif
    and when the option comes up of screen medium or high, select high (300dpi)
    in indesign
    make a box
    or whatever you want to place it in
    have the box selected
    and hit ctrl d
    or file: place
    select the file you just exported
    and if it is see through... the box... then make the fill color white
    and you can play around with it all you like like a normal photo
    make the fill color white: select the box that you place the picture in
    and on the left there are two boxes under all the tools... a regular box and an outlined box
    click the regular one
    and then on the right go to the swatch palette
    and click white
    and then, if it looks weird
    you should keep the picture box selected, right click, and then something like view quality or something. select high
    also, when you export the illustrator doc, when you selected high 300dpi... you should also make sure it's CMYK not RGB
    if it is going to press, tifs are better
    but if it's a jpeg
    then you could have exported it at screen 72 dpi and it should be RGB

  • Does anyone know why photos taken on a white background have a blue tint?

    When I take a photo of something on a white background, the White is tinted blue?

    Hello PheonixJodie,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! It sounds like you may have a photo filter enabled by default when you are taking pictures. Try tapping on the filters button and then selecting the “None” option:
    Take photos and videos - iPhone
    http://help.apple.com/iphone/8/#/iph1e767793c
    Apply a filter: Tap the filters button to apply different color effects, such as Mono or Chrome. To turn off a filter, tap the filters button, then tap None. You can also apply a filter later, when you edit the photo. See Edit photos and trim videos.
    Cheers,
    Matt M.
