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!

    jpg and pdf formats don't support transparency. You need to use a format such as tif, png or psd that does.

  • On export white background is light gray

    Hi,
    When I export with quicktime conversion in any format the white background becomes slightly gray ... I am trying to embed in a Flash movie that is all white ... consequently I get a light gray box in my Flash movie. If I do a straight export to DV its fine.
    Any help would be great.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for your ear ... Here it goes
    1. I bluescreened an actor
    2. Used Color Smoother 4:1:1
    3. Used Chroma Keyer
    4. Added a white background (PSD format but tried jpg and png) verified its white in Photoshop
    5. exported with Quicktime Conversion to FLV varied settings
    6. import into Flash and white background is faintly gray
    alternative (which works)
    5. exported DV version
    6. opened in Quicktime Pro
    7. exported as FLV
    8. Looks fine
    I'd definitely prefer skipping that alternative process in the future and love to know why this is the case.
    Thanks for any wisdom!

  • Print 3D PDF document with white background

    Hi!
    Is it possible to print a view from 3D PDF document with white background?
    I could not find any possibilty to change the grey background color, neither in the standard preferences nor in the print options...
    Thanks for your help!
    Kind regards,
    Mark

    Hi,
    As you experienced all DIALOG function modules will not work in Batch because the is no connection with a frontend (PC).
    You have to get your PDF on a server so you can process them in Batch.
    Maybe you can than use the FM: ALINK_DOCUMENTS_CREATE_FILE
    Success,

  • PNGs showing up with white backgrounds

    Hello.
    This is very odd as this has never happened to any of my other files that use the same buttons. My pngs that are saved with transparent backgrounds are now showing up with white backgrounds. They also only show up with white backgrounds when you do one of the following:
    Press F8 to preview the file
    Publish the file
    Has anyone else ever had a similar experience and/or figured out a solution? I have searched the discussion board for similiar experiences...I found one...http://forums.adobe.com/thread/86092. I'm going to play around with "interlace" in Photoshop so I'll keep my fingers crossed. I have also ensured my graphics are smaller than the background--one graphic is an 8kb file and the other is a 13kb file and my background is 112 kb.
    Any solutions and/or thoughts are greatly appreciated.

    hello nyartist, this has nothing to do with quirks mode - it's just the default way that standalone image files are displayed in firefox...

    Hi,
    Please try this--
    1. Quit the CC Desktop application by clicking on the 'Tools' icon (top-right) and choosing quit from the drop-down.
    2. Go to C:\Users\<username>\AppData*\Local\Adobe  and rename OOBE folder to OOBE.old.
    Launch CC Desktop application again.
    *AppData is a hidden folder.
    Let me know the outcome.

  • How to draw centre line with white background?

    Hi,
    I need to draw a centre line with white background on it. Now i'm doing it by pasting the main line in the background and giving it white so that it shows a white backgound. Is there a way to do just by drawing like normal lines. If we can, is it possible to control the white backgound only to show less than the original line in both ends. This is for illustrations i do for exploding views and i need to draw this line to show it as assembly drawing.
    Thanks
    Manoj

    1. Draw a white line segment of desired width (stroke weight) with round cap (Stroke panel) for the background line.
    2. Copy, Paste in Front
    3. Change to desired foreground color, butt cap, reduce stroke weight.
    4. Opt/Alt–drag foreground segment to overhang background segment by desired amount on both ends.
    5. Select both segments and drag to Brushes panel, choose Art Brush.
    6. In Art Brush Options choose Stretch Between Guides, drag guides somewhere to the inside of curve of round caps. (If in step 3 you chose black, set Colorization Method to Tints. Then you can select any color for the foreground segment by setting the stroke color.) Name the brush as you choose. Click OK.
    7. Draw any path and apply the brush.

  • Am I correct that Photos does not support external editors? i.e., in Aperture, I click Photos Edit with.... and can open in Photoshop or various plug-ins. Changes are then automatically saved back to Aperture. Nonexistent in Photos?

    Thanks Larry. That certainly gives me some understanding. Can't imagine I'm the only Aperture user with that concern, so I certainly hope Adobe and others will fill the void. Without that feature, Photos is pretty much a non-started for me.

    I am using Photoshop CS5 on a new iMac with a wireless keyboard.  I used to be able to hit F11 to perform a custom sharpening action but now the F11 key is the volume control key and I have tried everything to disable or switch the volume key. I have also tried assigning other function keys to initiate the action. Is there a simple solution to this? What am I missing?

    Try unmounting the volume on your iMac using Disk Utility. Then mount it again. You may need to reboot the laptop or relaunch its Finder process (using the Force Quit window) after remounting the drive on your iMac. Remember that no process may be accessing any files on the drive you plan to unmount, or the unmount will fail. Unmounting and remounting an external drive on my iMac made it become visible on my MacBook Pro after it had disappeared.

    I need to work with the RAW files on a SONY RX100III camera. I use Photoshop CS5 and a Mac operating system OSX 10.6. Is there an Camera RAW upgrade or an alternative program that works here?

    You don't. Since you have an Intel Mac, buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store.

    Currently using Photoshop CS5, but with a replacement computer and upgrade to Yosemite, keep being told I need to install the legacy Java 6. Currently, Photoshop won't even open. I absolutely do not want to subscribe, don't want to mess with the cloud, just want to buy an upgrade to something that will run for a while longer. I don't care about Lightroom, Bridge, Illustrator, etc.; most of those I've deleted over the years. But I do use Photoshop - or would if it would still run. What options do I have?

    This is the java you need for photoshop cs5 to work on mac os x 10.10 Yosemite
    https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572?locale=en_US
    It's also possible you may have to reinstall photoshop cs5 even after installing the above java, because sometimes the upgrade to mac os x 10.10 messes up the photoshop cs5 installation.
    You can download photoshop cs5 from here if you don't already have the install media.

  • Photoshop won't open Raw images with my new Camera Canon 6D help! I use Photoshop CS5 extended version.

    Hello,
    I got a new camera and Photoshop and Lightroom won't open Raw images with my new Camera Canon 6D help! I use Photoshop CS5 extended version. and Lightroom 3

    Good news and bad news:
    The bad news is that you need CS6 or higher to open 6D RAWs. (The 6D didn't get support until Camera Raw 7.3; 7.0 premiered in CS6.) You can choose to upgrade (I'd recommend skipping CS6 and go straight for CC 2014 for $10/month) *OR*...
    ...the good news is that the DNG Converter can help you convert your RAWs into DNGs for use in CS5 and Lightroom 3.

  • Images with white backgrounds are grey - macbook pro

    When I create an image in photoshop or save an image from the internet with a white background, when I save it, it comes out grey. Photoshop says it's white (#ffffff) but it's not.
    For example I made a banner with a white background on photoshop for my blog, which has a white background. But when I saved the image and uploaded it, the background of the image is grey and you can see the difference. How do you get it to be white again?

    Took a few more photos, completely dark. It's more apparent when you're looking directly at it. These blemishes are perfectly aligned and centered from each other. The bleeding around the edges seems normal, but also displays large shadows and along other areas the bleeding transitions into the shadow.
    Unfortuneately where I live there is no Genius bar to get this taken care of directly and once and for all. The display clearly needs to be replaced and a manufacturer defect, but the "Mac" service guys locally claim the defect is "barely" visible and accused me of causing the damage and claiming the blemish is above certain keys on the keyboard that cause it. Whichever. This MBP has had issues since the day it was purchased, logic board replaced, battery replaced, ultra drive replaced, etc... etc... this is becoming very annoying when I'm writing my Psychology papers for class. 
    I've been very patient with AppleCare each time I call, but I'm not receiving any support from Apple regarding this issue. Ridiculous!
