Picture / Photo Help

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, but this is where I thought it would be the best.
I am trying to make pictures that have a clear background. I want to take a picture of an object and just have a picture of that object and nothing else. I’ve tried to trim out the object but the background is still just white. I want the background to be clear.
Does that make sense? What program should I use and how do I do that?
Thanks.

You need to use a picture format which supports transparencies (i.e. TIFF or PNG) and an app which supports these files (GraphicConverter, Photoshop, etc.). If you are using JPG right now, you of course need to convert it to the other format. The new 10.5 Preview.app might be capable of doing all you need, but I'm not sure right now since I can't check this at the moment.

    It's too late now to worry about not having backed up. You have to restore the iPad or .....
    A. You can have a device that still has all of the photos on it but you can't get to them because the device doesn't work
    or.....
    B. You can restore, lose the photos and have a functioning device again.

  • I need to minimize the space photos take on my MacBook Pro OSx 10.7.  They are in iPhoto, Aperture, Pictures/Photo Library, etc.  Are they taking space in all of these locations?

    I need to minimize the space photos take on my MacBook Pro OSx 10.7.  They are in iPhoto, Aperture, Pictures/Photo Library, etc.  Are they taking space in all of these locations?

    Are they taking space in all of these locations?
    It depends on how you are using iPhoto and Aperture. 
    iPhoto and Aperture each create their own library files, and the default location for them is in /users/youruseraccount/Pictures
    You can configure iPhoto and Aperture to use the same Library file, in which case your photos are only stored once.  But if you are using iPhoto & Aperture with independent library files, you may in fact be duplicating your storage.
    The second consideration is whether or not you have configured iPhoto and/or Aperture as reference libraries, in which case their library files only reference photos you have stored in other places on your hard drive.  Setting them up as reference libraries does not duplicate the photos inside the library files.

    The camera roll is not part of the sync process at all.
    You should be importing these photos to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera.  Youc an organize them on your computer and sync the to the iphone if you wish.
    The photos sync from the computer to the iphone is one way.
    The iphone mirrors the selected content of the computer to which it is synced.

    Hi Jon,
    Try placing your curser in the middle and click on that page a few times. Often this will make it available for editing.
    Let me know if that works!

    Suddenly my LR 5 will not recognize my iPhone, which I updated to OS 8. I need my pictures NOW - help!

    I just drove 4 hours to the nearest Apple store, the same on that replaced the battery 3 months ago. They tried to fix it, but could not and then admitted they probably did something when they replaced the battery. So with the manger's approval they replaced my phone at no charge to me, even thought I bought the phone back in 2012.

  • Recents.plist file in my User/Pictures/Photo Booth folder?

    When I use PhotoBooth, a preference file named Recents.plist forms inside my User/Pictures/Photo Booth folder along with the picture. Why is this happening and can it be stopped?

    Hello and thanks again BDAqua for writing. Yes, if I delete this Photo Booth Recent.plist file it will come back in the same place in my User/Photo Booth folder after I take another picture in Photo Booth. After deleting the one that was created earlier this morning, a Spotlight search shows no other file named Recents.plist anywhere on my HD. Spotlight also shows no entries named Photo Booth except the application itself and the one in my User/Pictures folder. I have no Photo Booth folder you describe to hold this preference file in my User/Application Support folder at all. The last four weekly clones I've taken also have no Photo Booth folder in that Application Support folder.

  • Photo settings displaying black preview with all pictures - please help!

    I started working on my first "real" movie last night - got got my iMac 2 weeks ago. Before I was just messing around trying to learn the software. I got 20 pictures done (out of 400), I know that doesn't sound like a whole lot-- got done, but anyways. Things were working and looking great! I was really starting to enjoy iMovie!
    Today however I went back to my computer, (didn't shut down iMovie last night) and now the preview screen of the image when you play with the Ken Burns effects in the photo settings isn't displaying the image, instead it's just displays a black screen. I tried this with a newly imported image and an image I had worked on last night using the Kens Burns effects, but it displays the same results... a black scree
    I have tried selecting all of the images, music and transitions copying them and thinking I could paste them into a new movie, but of it does the same thing in the new movie. I have also tried to import my movie into a new movie, shut down both iMovie and my computer. Nothing is working.
    Because I'm on a very tight deadline (Tuesday), I decided I would just start over completely. After I got 10 pictures done, it did it again in the new movie!
    I bought my imac because of all the great things people have told me about iMovie (I've only worked on Windows in the past) I really like my iMac but these problems have really frustrated me!!!
    Responses would be GREATLY appreciated!
    imac Mac OS X (10.4.8)

    It's not clear from your description whether this has happened, but be aware there's a bug in iMovie 6 that will cause the black screen after you empty the iMovie Trash.
    iMovie 6 (incorrectly) discards its copy of the source image when you empty the Trash. It stores the copy inside the project when you import the photo. After you empty the Trash the image is no longer available. You can't UPDATE the clip. When you do, it turns black.
    So if photos in the Photo list import properly but the photos of EXISTING clips are not updated correctly, that may be why. The solution is to not empty the iMovie Trash.
    In addition, it's necessary for the disk the project resides on to use the Mac OS Extended disk format. If you use an external drive that has a different format, iMovie can't properly save to the drive.
    It's also possible there are third-party iMovie plug-ins and QuickTime add-ons installed on your Mac causing problems for iMovie.
    Those factors are discussed here:

  • After exporting my pictures from lightroom 3 and take them to photo lab to print pictures are never right size. example 4x6 chops off some of pictures. Help

    How can I fix when exporting my pictures and never are right size when take to photo lab

    You need to crop them before you export them and take them to a print shop.
    4x6 is a standard 3/2 ratio, 2 x 3 = 6 and 2 x 2 = 4. 90% of cameras on the market use that ratio as a sensor size. There are also 4/3, 16/9 and 1/1 ratio cameras. Which camera do you use, make and model?
    More than likely the camera you are using is either a 4/3 or you have it set to take image in either the 4/3 or 16/9 ratio. If you ask the photo lab to print them as they are, No Cropping, you will get the whole image with a larger white boarder either on the top/bottom or sides.
    You can crop them to a specific ratio in LR so they fit better on 4x6 paper and contain the image parts you most like.
    It really has nothing to do with exporting and or exporting setting. It does have to do with the size, ratio, of the image you are exporting and taking to the print place.

  • I'm trying to download netflix aand it keeps telling me not emough space to delete videos or pictures but i have no videos and have only 60 pictures. any help?

    I'm trying to download netflixs to my ipad but it keeps telling me to delete videos or pictures. I have no videos and have 60 pictures. I need some help.

    What may be taking up your iPad's memory may be not photos or videos, but rather music and apps. Music itself should not be that much of a problem but if you have a very large library it will obviously take lots of space. Your iPad tells you to delete photos or videos because you can delete them from the iPad directly, but you cannot delete music until you sync to iTunes. You may also want to try deleting some apps such as games; these usually take lots of space (up to 1GB each). These apps will sync back to your iPad when you have access to a computer once you have freed up enough memory on your iPad.
    Hope this helps.
