Overlaying Photo image on multi-colour background
Hello,
I hope someone can point me in the right direction with this
one - as I'm a bit stuck.
I am creating a graphic for use as a background image on a
webpage that uses three colours. I want to add a picture in the top
right of the page. I have removed the background from this picture
using the magic want tool - but when I import it into my existing
graphic, it appears within a box with a white background. You can
see what I mean at this url:
http://www.magicalwonders.com/background/test.html
I'm not sure how to overlay this picture so that the graphic
underneath is showing? Is there an easy way to do this?
Hope someone can advise,
Many thanks,
Myles

other graphic.
Just for future reference, you can have multiple images in a
Fireworks document, too. You could have done that operation in
Fireworks. I thought you were trying to use the colorful image as a
Web page background and put Web content over it. I'm sorry I
misunderstood you.
Glad you found a way to work it, though!

When Crossword Forge exports your file for the web it makes a
folder with that crosswords documents and it's background image.
You told Crossword Forge what image to use for the
background. Even though it makes a new jpg for your background, it
still has to reference the original. Keep those originals in your
local root folder. don't move them. Crossword Forge will have a
hissy if it can't find the original image. Yeah, even though it
creates a new image. -
Itune music videos display no images but flashing vivid coloured background
Having upgraded to itunes 7.1 sometime ago I cannot see me existing music videos or even new ones that I purchase. The screen only shows a vivid coloured background, sometimes flashing effect, but not a single image, despite hearing the chosen song ok. Whats the problem, dvd's I play are OK
(Sorry about barging in, Timmy.)
+The screen only shows a vivid coloured background, sometimes flashing effect, but not a single image, despite hearing the chosen song ok.+
With those symptoms, especially if the colors are pink, purple or green, the "Disable Direct3D acceleration in QuickTime" section from the following document is worth a try:
Troubleshooting iTunes for Windows XP and 2000 video playback performance issues
But by all means, if there are newer video drivers available for your video card or display adaptor then it's worth upgrading them (as Timmy suggests) to see if you can still get good video with the Direct3D acceleration enabled. -
Problems with coloured background in Dreamweaver CS6
Hi,
Probably best if I attach images rather than describe the problem, so that's what I'll do.
As you can see there is a grey bar to the side of the page and it is the same at the bottom when I zoom out. I'm making this website as part of my Uni course and I have to follow a specific template so, please, don't judge me on what it looks like... lol.
The code for the background section looks like this:
body {
background-color: #CC9966;
background-repeat: repeat-y;
I have also coloured the footer.
#footer {
colours for text within the
footer division, ie <p id="footer">
color: #2D2D2D;
background-color: #CC9966;
So what do I have to change to make the colour fill the background entirely? I'm an amateur so please don't use too much technical language. I'm sure it's a simple fix, anyway.
Thanks a lot.WHAT IS THIS FILE?

I need your help with a decision to use iPhoto. I have been a PC user since the mid 1980’s and more recently have used ACDSee to manage my photo images and Photoshop to edit them. I have used ProShow Gold to create slideshows. I am comfortable with my own folder and file naming conventions. I currently have over 23,000 images of which around 60% are scans going back 75 years. Since I keep a copy of the originals, the storage requirements for over 46,000 images is huge. 180GB plus.
I now have a Macbook Pro and will add an iMac when the new models arrive. For my photos, I want to stay with Photoshop which also gives me the Bridge. The only obvious reason to use iPhoto is to take advantage of Faces and the link to iMovie to make slideshows. What am I missing and is using iPhoto worth the effort?
If I choose to use iPhoto, I am not certain whether I need to load the originals and the edited versions. I suspect that just the latter is sufficient. If I set PhotoShop as my external editor, I presume that iPhoto will keep track of all changes moving forward. However, over 23,000 images in iPhoto makes me twitchy and they are appear hidden within iPhoto. In the past, I have experienced syncing problems with, and database errors in, large databases. If I break up the images into a number of projects, I loose the value of Faces reaching back over time.
Some guidance and insight would be appreciated. I have a number of Faces questions which I will save for later.Bridge and Photoshop is a common file-based management system. (Not sure why you'd have used ACDSEE as well as Bridge.) In any event, it's on the way out. You won't be using it in 5 years time.
Up to this the lack of processing power on your computer left no choice but to organise this way. But file based organisation is as sensible as organising a Shoe Warehouse based on the colour of the boxes. It's also ultimately data-destructive.
Modern systems are Database driven. Files are managed, Images imported, virtual versions, lossless processing and unlimited editing are the way forward.
For a Photographer Photoshop is overkill. It's an enormously powerful app, a staple of the Graphic Designers' trade. A Photographer uses maybe 15% to 20% of its capability.
Apps like iPhoto, Lightroom, Aperture are the way forward - for photographers. There's the 20% of Photoshop that shooters actually use, coupled with management and lossless processing. Pop over to the Aperture or Lightroom forums (on the Adobe site) and one comment shows up over and over again... "Since I started using Aperture/ Lightroom I hardly ever use Photoshop any more..." and if there is a job that these apps can do, then the (much) cheaper Elements will do it.
The change is not easy though, especially if you have a long-standing and well thought out filing system of your own. The first thing I would strongly advise is that you experiment before making any decisions. So I would create a Library, import 300 or 400 shots and play. You might as well do this in iPhoto to begin with - though if you’re a serious hobbyist or a Pro then you'll find yourself looking further afield pretty soon. iPhoto is good for the family snapper, taking shots at birthdays and sharing them with friends and family.
Next: If you're going to successfully use these apps you need to make a leap: Your files are not your Photos.
The illustration I use is as follows: In my iTunes Library I have a file called 'Let_it_Be_The_Beatles.mp3'. So what is that, exactly? It's not the song. The Beatles never wrote an mp3. They wrote a tune and lyrics. They recorded it and a copy of that recording is stored in the mp3 file. So the file is just a container for the recording. That container is designed in a specific way attuned to the characteristics and requirements of the data. Hence, mp3.
Similarly, that Jpeg is not your photo, it's a container designed to hold that kind of data. iPhoto is all about the data and not about the container. So, regardless of where you choose to store the file, iPhoto will manage the photo, edit the photo, add metadata to the Photo but never touch the file. If you choose to export - unless you specifically choose to export the original - iPhoto will export the Photo into a new container - a new file containing the photo.
When you process an image in iPhoto the file is never touched, instead your decisions are recorded in the database. When you view the image then the Master is presented with these decisions applied to it. That's why it's lossless. You can also have multiple versions and waste no disk space because they are all just listings in the database.
These apps replace the Finder (File Browser) for managing your Photos. They become the Go-To app for anything to do with your photos. They replace Bridge too as they become a front-end for Photoshop.
So, want to use a photo for something - Export it. Choose the format, size and quality you want and there it is. If you're emailing, uploading to websites then these apps have a "good enough for most things" version called the Preview - this will be missing some metadata.
So it's a big change from a file-based to Photo-based management, from editing files to processing Photos and it's worth thinking it through before you decide. -
Imported B&W NEF images appear as colour when opened!
Odd one here. Have searched the forum but while there are some B&W issues discussed, nothing matches this one.
OS X 10.6.4, iphoto '09 build (8.1.2). Camera Nikon D90 using NEF images. Camera set to take B&W. Camera is using Colour Profile Adobe RGB 1998.
Camera takes B&W photos. I can see this in the LCD viewer. I can also see B&W thumbnails of the images via Finder when looking directly into the SD card.
Then I open iPhoto, select the SD card and even iPhoto will display B&W thumbnails. So far so good.
Now I do the import into iPhoto, but then after the import is completed the thumbnail images display as colour images. Even when you open the image it displays in colour.
How can this be ?
Have not found anything specific to this particular issue on the 'net to date, Any assistance would be appreciated.Thanks, I understand what you are saying.
The Nikon D90, has a Picture Control setting called Monochrome, This I thought, allows the shooter to take the picture in B&W, by doing an in-camera conversion from colour to B&W and stores the B&W image on the card. But then this doesn't explain why it opens in colour on OS X (??).
So more likely it as you say, the camera is taking and storing a colour image, but has a flag embedded in it to indicate it was 'shot' in B&W.
Oddly enough, under Windows XP using the free MS NEF viewer, the pictures do actually display in B&W ..thumbnails and when they are fully opened. I suspect then there is a bit or flag in the NEF processor in iPhoto 09 is not recognising and therefore shows the colour version. Does this make sense ?

MBP strange flickering blocks of multi-coloured lines on screen
Hi
over the past few weeks when awaking from sleep my MBP 13" (mid-2012) has had this problem <a href="http://s1204.photobucket.com/user/sjwhite26/media/IMG_0035.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1204.photobucket.com/albums/bb404/sjwhite26/IMG_0035.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo IMG_0035.jpg"/></a> i.e. blocks of multi coloured lines flickering on the screen.
You can use the machine, but its incredibly annoying and and reboot gets rid of it. My issue is that it is happening more and more. I also have the issue when the MBP won't always wake from sleep when using the mini display port attached to my screen. This is viewable on the laptop's native screen as well as the dell screen.
Any help would be appreciated. I've tried all the PRAM etc resets.
ThanksLet the battery full drain. After charging for at least an hour try again. Include thises suggestions as necessary.

Making a image have a transparent background
I was given a image and asked to use it as a logo for a website. It is a black image with a white background. How do I get a transparent background so I can post the image on a web page and only see the image and not the white background it has? I am using photoshop elements 5.0. Thanks.
For me, best solution for extracting an image from its background is using a terrific plug-in for Photoshop and Photoshop Elements. It's called GML Matting. It's free, functions flawlessly and you can create some amazing images with it. I save the extracted images with transparent backgrounds as PSDs.
You can download it here: http://research.graphicon.ru/image-processing/gml-matting-6.html
Select the latest version from the menu. After it's installed, you'll find it at the bottom of the Filters pull-down.
I've used it with Elements 2, 5 and 7.
How well does it work? You can decide. I took two photos, one of my Jeep parked in a parking lot, overlooking a quiet bay. Then I took another photo of the rough surf on the ocean side of the island. Using Elements 5 with the GML Matting plug-in, I extracted the Jeep and its shadow and dropped the image onto the photo of the surf. It took about 30 minutes to clean up edges (using various Elements tools). When completed, the resulting image is virtually impossible to detect as a composite.
Here's the finished image: http://home.att.net/~historyworld/OceanBeachJeep.jpg
You can see a review of the plug-in and see the images to create my composite by scrolling through the linked thread below (on the Photocamel forums). http://photocamel.com/forum/image-editing-color-management/48945-free-background-removal- software.html -

Desktop covered in multi-coloured, pixilated pattern
I've read other threads where people seem to be having the same problem I'm seeing, and the screen shots look identical. I am not convinced it's a hardware issue in my case, and none of the solutions I've seen recommended resolve the problem. Due to reasons which become apparent in the description below, I'm convinced the problem is NOT hardware related.
The Environment:
I'm maintaining 3 college computer labs (well, 3 Mac labs, I won't mention the PC's); I manage the client side, a co-worker manages the servers; The Mac labs currently hold approximately 100 iMacs, 2 different models, both models are intel, but two model years apart; ALL clients are running 10.5.5, HOWEVER, the servers are running sever 10.4.?; All authentication is done through Active Directory on a Windows Server 2003 based, multiple-domain network; student home directories are network-based on 2 xserves; Approximately 300+ Mac-based student users; We are using AFP, not SMB;
The Issue:
Aside from the expected (constant) issue of corrupted preferences, I've had two students experience an odd graphic problem: Seconds after logging in, the entire desktop region of the GUI is covered in a pixelated, muli-colored pattern. Sometimes the aliases will be uncovered, but usually are. Usually the dock remains free of the pattern, not always. Usually the menubar is mostly covered by the pattern, not always. It is still possible to interact with aliases and menu selections, if you know where to click, and the area immediately around the interface item 'clears'. Grabbing and dragging a window around the desktop will (for the current session) clear the pattern. If you click on the Apple icon in the menu bar, and drag to the right, the pattern is cleared of the pattern. If the user logs out, their next session repeats the problem of having a pattern cover everything.
The problem exists for those users alone and follows them from computer to computer, regardless of which model they are logging in on. Other students can log in on a specific computer immediately before, and immediately after, but only those two specific students would get the pattern over the desktop. The problem seemed to go away for ONE student, as mysteriously as it started. This second student just started having this "frost effect" today. (I don't know how else to describe it, it's as though the desktop was covered in multi-coloured, electronic frost which scraps away when you drag an object around the desktop).
With both students, I've tried deleting their saved preferences and cached info from their libraries, but this has no effect, the "frost" returns at their next log in.
This is more of an annoyance than a liability, but I would like to be able to resolve this problem for the student if I can, and for any future students that run into this same issue.
Any advice or suggestions would be most appreciated.I must not have found that thread (it's hard to find accurate search results for "weird pattern"), I'll check it out, thank you.
BUT... I can't update the OS version for the images in mid-semester. We've had other issues that we specifically addressed with 10.5.5 over the winter break. Without extensive testing of 10.5.6, my manager would serve me on a platter to the Board of Governors. If it was fixed in a version update, I'm stuck with it until May. Thank you for your reply though. -
Facebook loads ok as far as text is concerned. But, it often loads without any of the photo images visible. Sometimes it loads with a few of the images visible. When the images are missing there are just empty boxes where the photos should be. I never had this problem until updating to the latest firefox v29. If you guys can't fix this problem, is there any way to revert back to an earlier version of firefox? tht version worked just fine.
If images are missing then check that you do not block images from some domains.
*Press the F10 key or tap the Alt key to bring up the hidden Menu bar.
Check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
Check "Tools > Page Info > Media" for blocked images
*Select the first image link and use the cursor Down key to scroll through the list.
*If an image in the list is grayed and "<i>Block Images from...</i>" has a checkmark then remove this checkmark to unblock images from this domain.
Make sure that you do not block (third-party) images, the <b>permissions.default.image</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page should be 1.
Make sure that you haven't enabled a High Contrast theme in the Windows/Mac Accessibility settings.
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own colors.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors : [X] "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"
Note that these settings affect background images.

There are extensions like Adblock Plus (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images and other content.

You will need a 3rd party image editor that can seletively remove the background and let you create a transparent background png file. Maybe with a drop shadow (or not) something like this:
A photo of me during one of my therapy sessions. If you have Pages (part of iWork) you can also make transparent background images with the Alpha tool..

Pasting a masked image unto another picture, background shows
I have a photo that I wanted to show just the people and no background. I masked the photo and have just the people. Now I want to take that photo and paste it unto another photo that has a blurr background effect. When I do the paste of the masked photo the background of that photo that I masked shows on top of the blurr background . How do I do this paste with only the people that I selected in the mask.
thanks
MikeHere's a step by step overview of what I did to blur the background behind people:
1. Duplicate the original image as a second layer.
2. Mask so that the people only are showing in the top layer.
3. Use the mask to create a selection of the people only (Ctrl-click on the upper layer's Mask).
4. Make the top layer invisible and activate the lower layer.
5. Expand the selection to encompass a few pixels around each of the people.
6. Edit - Fill - Content Aware (which eliminates the people from the lower layer).
7. Filter - Blur - (Gaussian or Lens, depending on your preference).
If you did not duplicate your image as in step 1 above, don't worry, you can still get a second copy of the image from what you have:
A. Duplicate your masked image as a second layer.
B. Delete the layer mask from the lower layer.
C. Start with step 3 above.
If it's not clear to you how to accomplish any of these operations, I encourage you to look them up, so that you can become familiar with how to find out how to operate the software, but if you get stumped just ask and I (or someone else) will be happy to elaborate.
The first 2 minutes 45 seconds of this video shows how to do something a lot what you're doing here. Instead of moving your subjects, blur your background.
