Rotating a photo then erasing the white backgrouond

I am trying to rotate a photo and either erase the background or have it set to black so it will not show up when the photo is viewed on a black web page that I am creating in Dreamweaver.
I want the photo to be rotated at 20 degrees. When I do this, there is a white box left as part of the image that is the no occupied boundries of the original image. I can not figure out how to change that background to blcak. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have been using PSE since January - daily, so I can do quite a bit but this one is stumping me.
Thanks!
Ray

Duplicate the Background Layer. Set the foreground color to black. Click Layer>New Fill Layer>Solid Color. Move this layer between the Background Layer and the Background Copy layer.
Make your rotation on the Background Copy Layer by clicking Image>Transform>Free Transform and set the Rotate box to 20 degrees.
Flatten the image if you are using it as a .jpg.
This does the same thing you are doing, but it shows the new, black, layer as what you now see as white.

  • Can I create a new album in the photos then delete  the photo fro the camera roll and it still stay in the album if so I do I do this?

    Can I create a new album and moved the pictures out of the camera roll into it then delete the pictures from camera roll and they still be in the aalbum if so how do I do this?

    Hey Nyanza,
    Clean out your Camera Roll the same way you'd clean out your still camera: sync to your computer. iTunes will move the photos to iPhoto (Mac) and give you the option of deleting them from Camera Roll. Do so. You can sync them back on once they are organized in iPhoto. Do you really need 3000 images?
    If you are on a PC, it's a little more difficult as there is no photo app on the PC to make it easy. Save the pictures to My Pictures like you would your regular still camera. Organize into albums. Sync the albums back on via iTunes.

  • Need to go into photo library to retrieve photos that technical support lost at the store.  Told to do "command Option" at the same time - than click on "I-photo"  then check the box "repair the i-photo library.... I have had two appointment at the store

    How can i retrieve my photo library that got lost by your techs at the apple store?

    First to locate your library on the hard drive launch iPhoto with the Option key held down so you get this window:
    Your library should be displayed in the window and it's location displayed below the window when clicked on.
    If that fails to locate your library download and run Find Any File to search for a file named "ThumbJPGSegment.data" which is a file common to all versions of iPhoto libraries.
    FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't like invisible folders, system folders and packages. If there's a library hiding somewhere on your hard drive FAF will find it.
    Once you find the library you can try to repair if it doesn't open as it should by trying this:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window.
    2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

  • How do I save photos stuck in the cloud to my computer?

    About a month ago I accidentally threw my phone in the wash, killing it.  When I bought my new phone the guy failed to mention that I could restore everything back to what it was and by the time I discovered I could, I'd already gotten myself knee deep into my new phone.  I had a lot of senitmental pictures on there that I'd like to get back, out of the cloud and onto my Mac.  I've just spent seriously 5 hours trying to update this **** thing and now I'm still lost trying to get that content saved to the computer so that I can delete it and stop getting the reminder that my cloud is full.  Is it completely lost and do I have to just delete it to make more room?
    Also, complete side note, but I HATE that my scroll is inversed where if I want to scroll down a page I have to push up on my touch pad.  Can I undo that too??

    The only way to recover your camera roll photos from an iCloud backup is to restore the backup to your phone.  What you can do is back up your phone to your computer using iTunes, then restore the backup and save the recovered photos, then restore the backup you made on your computer to get back to where you are now.  To do this, do the following:
    Connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Tranfer Purchases.  When this finishes click on the name of your phone in iTunes, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now.
    Eject your phone from iTunes and disconnect it from your computer.  Go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud backup and follow the prompts, choosing the backup of your old phone to restore to.  Be sure it is connected to wifi and your charger as it is restoring the backup.
    When the backup finishes, import the recovered camera roll photos to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
    Connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your phone in iTunes and click Restore Backup, choosing the backup you made at step 1 to restore from.  This should return your phone to it's current state.
    If you want the photos you recovered on your phone, put them in an event in iPhoto, then select the event to sync to your phone on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and sync your phone.
    You can't change the scrolling behavior of your phone.  In time it will seem natural.

  • Rotating many photos at once

    Hello,
    Does anybody know how to rotate several photos at the same time?
    Thanks
    Yanina

    Hi Terence,
    Thanks again for your response.
    I'm pretty sure that I've selected them correctly.
    The reason for this is that: I select the photos I want to rotate, use the trackpad and only the first photo rotates. I then select the same photos, use the 'rotate' button, and all the photos rotate. If I was using the trackpad incorrectly, then no photo would rotate...so I'm not sure what's wrong. Could there be a problem with IPhoto and I need to re-install?

  • How do I remove the white space around a graphics I have placed?

    I am working on a pc.
    I have placed a graphic into my document that has a white box around it.
    I would like to get rid of the white box so only the graphic is seen.
    How do I accomplish that?

    wasenthay,
    If it is a raster image, this is best done in Photoshop, where you can just erase the white pixels (Magic Eraser or something). Without Photoshop, you will have to Image Trace to get a vector rendering which you may expand and then get rid of the white path/part, or to draw round the coloured parts and create a Clipping Mask or similar.
    If it is vector artwork, you should be able to just delete the white path(s)/part(s).

  • The white N97 camera flash problem

    Has anyone found a fix yet, for the constant flash glare that plagues photos taken on the white N97? Like when the flash goes off it leaves a bloom of light around the bottom left of the photo? It's a pretty well documented problem. I just wondered if anyone has found a fix? Ta.

    Best way to fix the white flash on the N97 is to fix it for once and for all. Put the phone N97 down on a table and find your self a snack and a HAMMER, open your snack  and take a bite, Now this is where the fix begin, hold the hammer above the N97 and then lift it up about 0.5metre then swing it ontop of the N97. Voila!! Once you've done so, your N97 white flash camera problem is now fixed forever.
    Be warned, it will only worked once, as you can perminantly put it to off mode.
    All the best, good luck
    lol
    This is my only way to fix this particular problem, other wise change your camera

  • Greetings world.I have created a dmg. of my entire iomega ext HDD via disk utility using a mac book pro. It is currently sitting on the desktop. I have erased the iomega and now I can not understand how to put the dmg back.

    It is safe to say that i need help..................
    let me start at the beginning.
    I have 1 2008 imac. always a pleasure never been a problem. Attached to it i have an iomega 500gb ext drive. also been ok.
    until now!!
    The HDD would not mount. Disk utility suggested that it was ok so i tested the imac HD. I got error code 4MOT/2/40000004: HDD- 1502. This doesnt worry me at the moment.
    I attached iomega to my Mac book pro and again it would not mount. The disk utility did tell me that the iomega needed repair. it advised that i should wipe it and restore.
    So I used the MB Pro disk utility to create a DMG. and saved it to the desk top. I then erased the iomega. did a repair and it all seemed ok. So then i try to do a restore.
    After a very long time it said internal error with the dmg. using disk utility i did a convert dmg (compressed) and saved it to the iomega. middle of the night job!!
    got up this morning and indeed it had sent the DMG to the iomega. But i could not open it. The iomega itself seemed dandy asking me if i wanted to use it as a time machine etc and it mounted ok and i saved a small jpeg to the iomega as well. I then thought that maybe when i did the convert as a compressed file i made a mistake. i'm guessing it should be a read and write so i started all over again.......... wiped iomega (which was quite quick) then tried the convert tool again.....it trys for a while then says there is not enough disk space...........I'm not sure which disk it is refering to.??
    I have purchased a 1tb hard drive today incase the iomega is some how full up.
    So really my question to the world is .........Help?

    well no reply from the community. sniff- do i stink!? - probably a little bit. If i have lost all that data then I'm gonna really really pong.
    Any ways i have purchased a 1tb usb HDD and have managed to duplicate the dmg file onto it. however still unable to mount the **** thing. so now i have ordered disk warrior which will be in my possession tomorrow.
    fingers toes eyes crossed.

  • I am trying to burn a DVD from an iphoto album, I placed it in the order I want , but it does not burn in that order, and has picked up other photos not in the album

    I have created an album of phots, moved into order I want to burn, cd and dvd. It burned out of order in album and also added pictures not in Album highlighted to burn. Also was hard to view all pictures and move more quickly into order to view. I am use to using powerpoint and shows all slides at 1 time small thumnails so easy to move

    Re the order on the DIsk:
    When you export from iphoto you are in the Finder and that doesn't have the same sorting options as iPhoto. There is no "manual" sorting in the Finder, for instance.
    Here's one (of several) way(s) to do what you want:
    Make an Album of the photos, then drag the pics into your preferred order.
    Then Photos Menu: Batch Change -> Set Title to Text "John's Birthday", for instance, and tick the box to append a number to each Photo. Now your photos are titled 'John's Birthday 001, John's Birthday 002 ... etc'
    Then File -> Export and in the Export dialogue set the Filename to "Use Title"
    Sort on Filename in the FInder and you end up with a folder full of images in the same order as the Album in iPhoto.
    Burn that to the disk.
    I'm sorry but I haven't a clue what the rest of your query is about.
    Regards

  • Rotating slideshow photos

    I'm trying to make a slideshow but I can't figure out how to rotate individual photos.

    I have the same problem with the new iDVD 8.0. The images that get imported from iPhoto to iDVD loose their orientation, rotating themselves from portrait orientation to landscape orientation. Isn't this a bug? Can't you display photos in a slide show in portrait orientation?

  • DPM2012 R2 when erase the tape is hang at there

    Hi All,
    I am facing a problem when DPM2012 erase the media.
    Current System:-
    Operating System : Windows Server 2012 R2
    DPM Version : 2012 R2 version 4.2.1273
    Tape Library : DELL PV 124T LTO-6
    Auto Loader version : V90.0 (005A.0h)
    Drive Version : D8E3
    I had execute a command to force-free the tape then erase the media, it took me very long and without showing any progress running. In tape library it is showing writing but there is no progress. Until I had rebooted both and run inventory it show the tape
    available. Can I know is it hardware causing or the software causing ?

    Hi,
    A DPM erase is a long erase and that simply sends an erase long IOCtl to the tape drive and the drive erases the tape from beginning to end.  The FULL (long) erase times are hardware specific, it's a single IOCTL to the hardware to perform the
    long erase, then it's up to the drive itself to perform that command / operation.
    If you want DPM to send a short erase IOCLT instead, you can set this registry value.
    Short Erase
    When a user erases a tape, by default, DPM will do a long erase on that tape.  DPM 2010 has introduced the ability to do a short erase now.  Simply navigate to the following registry location and add the DWORD key with the default vale:
    HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft Data Protection Manager\Agent
    REG_DWORD:UseShortErase:0x0
    Setting to 0(zero) will cause DPM to use a short erase.  In order to set it back to using the long erase, simply delete the key.

  • I backed up then erased 118 gigs worth of photos, but my storage still says I'm full.  I emptied the trash and rebooted but my computer won't recognize the empty space.  What gives?

    I backed up then erased 118 gigs worth of photos, but my storage still says I'm full.  I emptied the trash and rebooted, but my computer won't recognize the empty space.  What gives?  I erased all my iPhoto pictures from the pictures folder in Finder so I could restore a backup from my Time Capsule.  When I try to restore the library, I get a message that there's not enough room on my computer to restore.  I have a Macbook Pro with 250 gig hard drive.  I would greatly appreciate some help.  Thanks!

    If you're trying to add a large amount of data all at once, and you get an alert of insufficient space, then from the menu bar, select
               ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Time Machine
    If the padlock icon is closed, click it to unlock the settings and authenticate. Turn Time Machine OFF, then back ON and close the preference pane. Restart the computer. Test.

  • When I try to access a picture from i photo the picture will come up and then quickly the screen goes black and there is a white exclamation mark.  Also when using faces and scrolling down pictures some disappear very quickly after a brief look.

    When using i photo and trying to pull up individual photos - the photo will appear and quickly disappear only to be replaced by a black screen with a white explanation mark.  This happens with all of my photos.  Has anyone had this problem and if so what can be done to fix it.  I did not select this graphic to be added to my i photo pictures - the blace sign with the white explanation mark.  Also, when scrolling down photos in faces some of my pictures disappear after a quick view. 
    Thanks for any help you can provide.  It seems like something has gotten into my i photo picture account?

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • I have a line drawing (black on white paper) i have scanned and need to make the white paper transparent, maintaining the line drawing, can i and then HOW can i do this in PS?

    i have a line drawing (black on white paper) i have scanned and need to make the white paper transparent, maintaining the line drawing, can i and then HOW can i do this in PS? this is for my business logo. ive used it for years but with a solid background. id like to have it just be the drawing over my photos with a transparent background.

    First let me apologize for posting a reply that was only suitable for advanced users.  Photoshop is broad and powerful therefore has a huge learning curve.  In fact I would state no one knows and uses all of Photoshop.  When we first get Photoshop it intimidate us and we're very uncomfortable using it.  Many thing are not intuitive there in much learning involved.  After some time we begin to know something and we are able to do some thing.  Learning become rapid and we start playing in Photoshop.  It is very important to play with Photoshop.  Playing with Photoshop and asking for help with in forums like this IMO is the best way to learn. 
    Photoshop Power lies in layers, selection and automation.  However it takes knowledge to use photoshop well so most powerful tool you have ins Photoshop is the gray matter between your ears.  Most at one time or another want to watermark or put a logo on their image.  So its best to automate this process. All run into a problem in the process. "Size"  We find our assets vary in size and aspect ratios. Landscape, Portraits, Panoramas and others. This complicates automation.  Vector graphics works best when size vary greatly.  If you can not work out how to create a vector solution like a custom shape.  Create your Logo and watermark large thing scale down better the up. Text scale well for text uses vectors graphics however if you rasterize text it will not scale well.
    I do not type or do English well so let me do some screen captures.  I can not stress enough how important Black, White, Grays and Blending is when it come to image processing.  Become friends with Multiply, Screen, Overlay and Luminosity blending.....
    However when there is a white or black background though you can blend them you can not add a style like a drop shadow, emboss or make it invisible setting fill to 0 so only the style is visible.  When there is contrast between the logo and background it is easy to separate the two. To select the background and delet it to have the logo with a transparent background.  Many tools can be used to create the selection hee I use my action kill white.
    Vector Shape would work better for scaling However it would be best to create the logo from scratch in a vector program like illustrator but I never had the resources to justify the Creative suite. I only had Photoshop.  Recently Adobe gave me and other a year subscription to the creative suite for our participation here.  I still have not installed anything but Photoshop,  A while back I found a program that can create vector patf for black and white art work.  It will not be as good as using something like illustrator. However vector paths can be edited in Photoshop and cleaned up some. Here is the PSD it 13MB because od the gradient http://www.mouseprints.net/old/dpr/AmPm24-7.psd
