Remove a background color for transparency

Greetings,
I have an image with flattened layers and is a PNG image for the web. I need to select only the white background and remove it for transparency.

Use the magic eraser tool if there is no white adjacent to the background . You will want to choose contiguous. If there is white in the main part of the photo adjacent to the background, use a selection tool to choose where to apply the magic eraser.

OC, explain a bit more- because what David explained
is correct. If you export from livetype without
rendering the background, then the background is
actually transparent.
My assumption here is that after you do this, you are
watching the quicktime file that pops up in live type
after it renders- and it has a black background.
This is normal, but actually transparency is there.
Import the QT file into final cut and throw it on a
v2 track above another video image. You will notice
that there actually is a transparent background in
FCP...
If you have already done this and you are still
seeing black, my next question would be what format
are you editing in? DV?

Stop Automatic Removal of Background Color for .mov files

Hi guys, I'm a rookie to Adobe Premier, but I have a 3.2 ghz processor and 14 GB of memory. I am trying to edit together a project I am animating in Maya. I am sequencing TARGA image files into .MOV files with Quicktime Pro and importing the .MOVs into Premier Elements. The blue sky in the background of each clip is automatically replaced with black when I import and/or render it with Premier. The sky is blue when I play individual clips in Quicktime or other players, but Premier (and Final Cut) always turns it black as though I enabled a chroma key, though I did not. I have considered just putting in a blue background matte, but then I lose the smooth gradient of the sky. Could it have something to do with the alpha channel? Does anyone have any tips? Thank you very much!

It sounds like you're indavertantly Videomerging your clips.
When you add your video to your project's timeline, you quite likely see either a pop-up window offering to Smart Fix your video and/or a pop-up window offering to apply Videomerge. Make sure you do not select the Videomerge option.
If you're not seeing this box, you may have turned on the option to Always Videomerge.
To turn this off, go to Edit/Preferences and check the option to Show All Do Not Show Messages. Then, next time you add a clip and you see the Videomerge option, select No and then click the Do Not Show option to permanently turn this automatic feature off.
Lots more information on stuff like this in my books as well as in my 8-part Basic Training tutorial series at Premiere Elements support site Muvipix.com.

Add ability to select background display color for transparent areas of image

Right now the background color for images with an alpha channel if always white. This makes Bridge useless for sorting through images where the primary color is white. It also looks like crap when you are doing a slideshow preview on a black background. It is only useful for people who do web page designs on a white webpage, but even then you can't tell if the image is cut out properly if it was cut from a white background. The only way to check an image is to load it into Photoshop and create a background layer, which is pretty slow for previewing an entire directory of images. The ability to set the alpha channel background color has been available for years in competing programs such as Thumbs+ so I am dumbfounded that it isn't yet in Bridge CS4.

Agreed! Even primitive Mac Finder preview can show transparent alpha channel! Most Image browsing programs have this ability. Bridge CS4 is becomming finally usable, but this feature is a must!

Slice transparency on save single slice / background color for artboard

Hi,
I know, I am missing something obvious in Illustrator CS5 here:
- how do I set the transparency for a slice(e.g. for a red background color)?
- how do I set the background color for a particular artboard?
Greetings
Michael Kastner

1. differs depending on the format you want to export. For GIFs, use "Save for Web and Devices"
2. Draw a rectangle on the artboard in the desired color.

How to give Common Background color for all JPanels in My Swing application

Hi All,
I am developing a swing application using The Swing Application Framework(SAF)(JSR 296). I this application i have multiple JPanel's embedded in a JTabbedPane. In this way i have three JTabbedPane embedded in a JFrame.
Now is there any way to set a common background color for the all the JPanel's available in the application??
I have tried using UIManager.put("Panel.background",new Color.PINK);. But it did not work.
Also let me know if SAF has some inbuilt method or way to do this.
Your inputs are valuable.
Thanks in Advance,

It is not the fault of NetBeans' GUI builder, JPanels are opaque by default, I mean whether you use Netbeans or not.Thank you!
I stand corrected (which is short for +"I jumped red-eyed on my feet and rushed to create an SSCCE to demonstrate that JPanels are... mmm... oh well, they are opaque by default... ;-[]"+)
NetBeans's definitely innocent then, and indeed using it would be an advantage (ctrl-click all JPanels in a form and edit the common opaque property to false) over manually coding
To handle this it would be better idea to make a subclass of JPanel and override isOpaque() to return false. Then use this 'Trasparent Panel' for all the panels where ever transparency is required.I beg to differ. From a design standpoint, I'd find it terrible (in the pejorative sense of the word) to design a subclass to inconsistently override a getter whereas the standard API already exposes the property (both get and set) for what it's meant: specify whether the panel is opaque.
Leveraging this subclass would mean changing all lines where a would-be-transparent JPanel is currently instantiated, and instantiate the subclass instead.
If you're editing all such lines anyway, you might as well change the explicit new JPanel() for a call to a factory method createTransparentJPanel(); this latter could, at the programmer's discretion, implement transparency whichever way makes the programmer's life easier (subclass if he pleases, although that makes me shudder, or simply call thePanel.setOpaque(false) before returning the panel). That way the "transparency" code is centralized in a single easy to maintain location.
I had to read the code for that latter's UI classes to find out the keys to use (+Panel.background+, Label.foreground, etc.), as I happened to not find this info in an authoritative document - I see that you seem to know thoses keys, may I ask you where you got them from?
One of best utilities I got from this forum, written by camickr makes getting these keys and their values very easy. You can get it from his blog [(->link)|http://tips4java.wordpress.com/2008/10/09/uimanager-defaults/]
Definitely. I bit a pair of knucles off when discovered it monthes after cumbersomely traversing the BasicL&F code...
Still, it is a matter-of-fact approach (and this time I don't mean that to sound pejorative), that works if you can test the result for a given JDK version and L&F, but doesn't guarantee that these keys are there to stand - an observation, but not a specification.
Thanks TBM for highlighting this blog entry, that's the best keys list device I have found so far, but the questions still holds as to what specifies the keys.

Problem in Setting Background Color for JButton

Hi,
I am using Background color for JButton (color is selected from the customized JColorChooser created by us) where it contains the option of transparency. If we choose light color, then the background is set to JButton, but when we mouse-over the JButton, other components inside the container (JPanel) is getting displayed inside the button.
Can anyone help to sort out this problem.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Here is the code.
DialogWrapper is JDialog and ColorEditorPane is JPanel.
DialogWrapper dlg = new DialogWrapper();
ColorEditorPane colorPanel = new ColorEditorPane();
colorPanel.setValue( _data.getTransparentColor());
dlg.showWrappedDialog( colorPanel, "color_help", "color_dialog" );
if( dlg.isOK())
Color chosenColor = (Color) colorPanel.getValue().getContent();
_data.setTransparentColor( chosenColor );
_transparentColorDisplay.setBackground( chosenColor );
_transparentColorDisplay.setOpaque( true );
this.repaint();
this.doLayout();
this.validate();
}I've several components like JCheckBox, JRadioButton, JTextField in "this".

Hi,
We almost had the same requirement, but we just needed to color a specific column.
Here goes the solution to that, you might do the same for your row highlighting
Changes are required in jsff and one method to be added in backing bean
1. JSFF :
<af:column headerText="Amount"
                 id="c4" width="100"
                 inlineStyle="#{backingBeanScope.BackingBean.cellColor}">2. Backing Bean
//searchResultTableVO is Table's VO
public String getCellColor() {
      FacesContext ctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
      ExpressionFactory ef = ctx.getApplication().getExpressionFactory();
      ValueExpression ve = ef.createValueExpression(ctx.getELContext(), "#{row}", FacesCtrlHierNodeBinding.class);
      FacesCtrlHierNodeBinding node = (FacesCtrlHierNodeBinding)ve.getValue(ctx.getELContext());
      Row row = node.getRow();
    if(row.equals(searchResultTableVO.getCurrentRow())){
//You can add your inline style for font-style too
      return "background-color:Red;";
         return null;
}Hope this is helpful :)

Background color for column heading

Hi,
I have 5 columns in my report and I would like to have different background color for column headings. How can I do this in report templates?
I was looking at Column heading section-
<th class="t10ReportHeader"#ALIGNMENT# id="#COLUMN_HEADER_NAME#">#COLUMN_HEADER#</th>
How can I specify backgrund colors for all columns here?
Thanks in advance

G'day Karen,
Thanks for ur reply.
I have seen this note before, its not that the header colors have changed after latest SP was applied in our systems. Also the ABAP and JAVA stacks are in sync.
Scenario is that we are trying to set up a new Portal theme for Enterprise Reporting with some specific color codes (hex codes).
What i have observed is Characterstics Header background color is set up using the element "Background Color of Level 1 Column Heading ".
While the Background color for Key Figures header is using element "Background Color of Level 2 Column Heading ".
But the problem is element "Background Color of Level 2 Column Heading " is also used as the Background color for Standard Characterstics cell, so if we make it same the whole report of the same color, which we dont want.
Requirement is to get the same Background color for Header cells (both Char. and Key Figure headers).
Any further suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks
CK

Set property for background color for JButton

I am attempting to change the colors of the UI for JButton. The change does not appear to be taking. The reason appears to be that JButton, and for that matter JLabel setOpaque(false); How can I globally change this to setOpaque(true);
Second is there a way to save the default property hash table after the changes are made so that it will run the next time the program is executed.

Thank you for responding. I don't feel that I have been clear in the statement of the problem. I have written a medium size desktop application(20,000 statements). I am trying to customize the color scheme by modifying the default laf properties color entries. I can modify JPanel through a put to the properties hash table. When I attempt to change the background color for JLabel and JButton it doesn't seem to take. I believe that the reason it doesn't take is because opaque(false). Is there a property that allows the overide of opaque to true or do I have to change all of the numerous JButtons in my program.
I have decided to store all changes in a file and make the changes at the point that the program initializes each time its run.
I am not looking for specific code but an approach.
I would appreciate your advice.

Defining a background color for a paragraph style

Hello and please excuse this very basic question, but I am completely stumped.
How do I simply define a background color for a paragraph style? I cannot use a table etc. because the styles are mapped during an XML conversion. Code lines should receive a gray background box to separate them from the text.
Also, is there a way to force line breaks whithin words for a specific style? The text, formated in Courier, should just fill the space with a fixed width per character and break wherever the line ends.

With some drawbacks it's doable using two paragraph tags.
The first tag, e.g. "Line" is empty (no text), and it has a reference page graphic that's just a rectangle filled 100% with color and set to have a percentage tint so that the text will "show through" it.
"Line" is also set to have a negative space below it, e.g. -12 points.
"Code" paratag has the actual code text in it, and it's set to have a negative space above, e.g. -12 points.
I've done projects where I have multiple Line paratags differing by the number of code lines needing to be shaded, e.g. Line1, Line2, Line3.
Unfortunately there isn't a way to automatically have the line expand to the correct depth of the Code paragraph, although I believe this would probably be something that could be done as a Framescript, to run through a document and create new "line" paratags of the correct depth depending on how many Code paragraphs or lines are in the following paratag.

UITableView: set different background colors for header and the table

I would like to set my background color for my UITableView to white and set my tableViewHeader backgroundColor to grayColor similar to the facebook app. When I bounce scroll my table so that you can see above the header, then currently it is white above the header view. I want that to be brown instead.
In the facebook app, above the headerview, it is a blue color and below the table is a white color. If i try and set the UITableView backgroundColor to brown, then the top will be brown, but so will the bottom. Additionally, all of the unset cells will have a brown background instead of white.
Any help with this?

Fixed..

Here i will get two outputs in same excel with different spread sheets,
now i want to set background color for headers i
ex:PARTY_ID,PARTY_NAME,AGENT_ID,TYPE_LOOKUP_CODE are the headers,in excel output i want background color as blue.
Please do need full help,its urgent req.

Hello,
open the file in Excel and save it, just to ensure that Excel writes all the additional stuff it thinks is necessary.
Now change the background colour of the header and save the file again but with a different name.
Open both files in a text editor and look at the differences. That's what you need to change in your code.
Alternatively you can use packages like xml_spreadsheet or ExcelDocumentType, both write the same file format that you use in your code and you don't have to reinvent the wheel.
