PSE3, how to make white background for silouette

I have taken a few pics of my grandkids in silouette form. That is, profile shots taken against window with snowy background. I've done a conversion to B/W, but need to darken it further. My main question is, how do I put a selection on a pure white background? Barbara, I have your book, but I haven't been able to figure it out yet. Do you have specific pages to look at? I know how to make a decent selection, but that's about it! Thanks.

Donna,
1. Make selection of silhouette
2. Go to Edit>copy
3. Go to File>new>Blank file> Color Mode:RGB. Background contents:White. Size H&W for your paper stock.
4. Go to Edit>paste.
5. Position selection with move tool.

Does anyone here know how to make a background soundtrack for a Tai Chi Video?

Good morning,
Does anyone here know how to make a background soundtrack for a Tai Chi Video in Garageband. I have been looking around at the different sounds and music in Garageband but I have not been able to find anything that would go with the video.
Here is an example of a Tai chi video if you were wondering
http://youtu.be/a6pJf2otwv8
I want to create something like this for a video I did for a fitness gym for a Yoga instructor and Tai Chi instructor.
Any tips would be appreciated.

Brandon,
you will not have to do any importing in GarageBand. Intalling Mainstage will extent GarageBands Loop Library and Instruments Library.
After you installed MainStage the additional loops and Instruments will show in GarageBand just like all other Loops. you will simply see more loops.
For example:

White background for portrait, How?

Hello dear people,
I have a simple question: How do I get a perfect white background for a portrait/headshot?

If you are talking about removing the existence background and then placing it in white background, then just use the photoshop pen tool to select the image and then apply clipping path technique here. Hope it works for you.

How to make White, White ?

My Photo Editing skills and experience are minimal and specially for the purpose of Photo-Texturing 3D Geo-Models (geo-located) for Google Earth.
I have been doing this for 3 years. However, I have yet to figure out how to edit photos so that White looks White.
Instead, they almost always look Bluish White.
Can someone please share with me how to make White areas in Color photos, appear White ?
I will be forever grateful for this information, especially if I can receive it quickly.
Thanks in Advance.

Make a test image In Elements with only a white background. Verify that the background colour is the RGB values of 255,255,255.
If this looks Bluish white then you have a problem with your montior calibration, since 255,255,255 is as white as you can ever get.
You don't say how you calibrate your monitor, nor the colour space in which you are working. There is only one way to accurately calibrate and profile a monitor and that's with a hardware device like an Eye-One Display 2, or Spyder. This is not for printing accurately but for accurate on screen rendering.
Any other method is guess work.
Also keep in mind that to accurately rendere colours on screen needs a colour managed program. Elements is, but others you are using may not be. In which case the best colour space to use is sRGB. However, once you get your screen to look right there is no guarantee that others will see the same colour unless they also calibrate their screens.

How to make a form for input in web interface builder

WAD:
Open the WAD and create a new template. On the left hand navigation you will have several Web Items available. Under 'Standard' you have 'Analysis' item. Pull that into your template to the right. Under the Properties tab you need to pick the query [form/layout] that you have built in Query Designer.
You will also find other items such as Button group, Checkbox, drop down, list box etc available. Pick and drag into the template whatever it is you require. Lets say you want a button. Under the Properties tab select the 'Command' that you require. You could use standard commands that are available there. You could also define functions and commands that you require.
Query Designer:
Open the QD and drag the characteristics and key figures that you require into the rows and columns of the QD. You would need to specify restrictions under the Filter tab of the QD based on the granularity of data that you require. You would need to remember that the key figures need to be made Input Ready [do this by clicking on KF and on the planning tab select "change by user and planning functions"].
This shouldgive you a start. After you've explored it yourself a bit we can discuss further and I can certainly provide you additional details/material on these areas.

How to make a group for selectd Object javascript

How to make a group for selectd Object javascript

There is currently no native way to email groups from iPad.
The only way to do this is if your recipients are already members a a distribution group controlled elsewhere such as a Google Group or an Exchange Organisation, then you can email the distribution group address which will then in turn forward to the individual email address of the members.
Does it have to be email as currently you would have to add each recipient to the email manually.
iOS to my knowledge doesn't support contact groups in context other than organisation.

The problem with the datagridview is that it can only show one table.
For more tables 3th party datagrid's are better.
Although you can start with using the old datagrid. Despite what is written on MSDN is it a complete different control then the datagridview. You can add in to your toolbox by right clicking on it and then add it.
The datasource of a DataGrid can be a complete dataset which is showed with all its relations.

How to make exception rules for Stylish rules which change fonts?

How to make exception rules for Stylish rules which change fonts?
I use [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/stylish/ Stylish add-on] to change specific fonts to other fonts of my choice, but I have a problem. I want to change the font Arial to Tahoma in almost all pages I visit, but with the exception of websites as wikipedia.org. Because of this, I find myself having a very long list of domains to change Arial to Tahoma, only because I don't want that rule to apply to wikipedia.org and additional one or two other websites.
The current rule I'm using is, (my actual list is a lot longer, but this is just an example): 
'''''@-moz-document domain("mozilla.org"), domain("thefreelibrary.com"), domain("sil.org"), domain("ethnologue.com") {''''' 
'''''@font-face { font-family: 'Arial'; src: local('Tahoma'); }''''' 
I can't use the following rule because I don't want it to apply to wikipedia.org: 
'''''@font-face { font-family: 'Arial'; src: local('Tahoma'); }'''''

Try something like this: 
 
<pre><nowiki>@font-face { font-family: 'Arial'; src: local('Tahoma'); }
@-moz-document domain(wikipedia.org){
@font-face { font-family: 'Arial'; src: local('Arial'); }
</nowiki></pre>
