Simple black background photo book

I want to make a simple black background photobook with clean fonts (like futura or arial etc)
can anyone point me to a template that would let me do this in photoshop elements.
Thanks

Use any of the templates included in PSE10 that is the picture layout that you like.  You can switch to "Advanced Mode" (the button in the lower left corner) and then use all the tools and layers to change backgrounds, type faces, etc.
Just a note:  you'll be using up a lot of ink if you print a black background....

  • White vs black background in books

    Is this controlable or is it dictated by the book?

    In the Nook and Kindle android apps, you can control the background through the settings.   The Kindle does it throught the fonts button and the Nook button is in the settings.   The black background sure goes a long way in keeping a sleeping spouse happy. 

  • When I create an album and then try to watch it in slideshow, I get only a black screen with a white title.  No photos come up.  Also when I click on an individual photo in the album, I get a white exclamation point on a black background but no big photo.

    When I create an album of photos and then open the album and try to watch it by selecting "slideshow" I get only a black screen.  The white title comes up briefly but then no photos, only a black screen.  Also when I go back to the album and click on a thumbnail, up comes a big white exclamation point on a black background instead of the enlarged photo.  Any idea what's going on?

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    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. .

  • How do I remove the black background when displaying photos in iphoto 8

    After upgrading to iphoto 8 my photos now sit on a black background when viewed from album, library or events. I have changed the slider from black to white in Preferences/Appearance but it only changes the display background for when the thumbnails are shown. The moment I click on a photo it displays at full size with an annoying black background. In previous versions it displays with a grey or white background.
    Can anyone help with some advice before I reinstall iphot0 6. Thanks

    wordleader:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. For the background in albums and in the Photos window use the Background slider in iPhoto's Appearance preference pane. In the Events window where you see the square events you can't change the background color.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • I want to use the Photo Essay layout in iphoto, but with a black background

    but this doesn't seem possible (only white bg).  How do I apply a black background to the Photo Essay layout?
    Thank You!

    Thanks for those examples.  Yes, I see how to change bg color with a text page, but bg colors are still greyed out when I try to use them with a photo-only page. 
    It is impossible to select the black (or any other color) bg.  Perhaps this is because, as you said, the white border is part of the Photo Essay template.  This isn't an issue in other templates, and I would be perfectly happy using Picture Book, but that template doesn't give the same arrangement options, particularly on the 6-photos to a page layouts.  I wish there were more flexibility/options with these layouts--they are very limiting.

  • Is it possible to get a black background when using Picture Book layout in iphoto?

    I want to customize the layouts more in iphoto--either be able to use a black background when using the Picture Book layout, or have more layout options in the Photo Essay layout.  Are either of these possible?
    Thanks!

    Yes.

  • Im having a problem with my iphoto library.  all of photos are outlines in gray with black background.

    My iphoto library appears as white dotted outlines and black background.  I can only see the photos if i am scrolling?

    Apply the two fixes below in order as needed: 
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • How do I change the background color to black? I'd like Photoshop's generated web gallery to display photos against a black background.

    I can't find a place to change the background to black from white. I'd like Photoshop's automated web gallery feature to show photos against a black background once I open the htm file inside Firefox. I use a Mac with OS 10.6.7 (current) on my 27-in. iMac. Thanks very much

    There are often many ways to do things, and c.pfaffenbichler's suggestion above is good.
    However, as I'm very fond of Curves, I'd use Image - Adjust - Curves (or Layer - New Adjustment Layer - Curves) myself, and pull the black point of the blue curve up.

  • Using Photoshop elements 11 on a PC, when I put new photo on screen to edit the background goes to black which messes me up when making a thumbnail that has black background.  How do I get the background to white as it was originally?

    Using Adobe photoshop elements 11 on a PC.  When I put a photo up to edit the background on the page goes black.  I need it to go back to white to do a thumbnail that has black background so I can see it.  How do I do that.  It used to be white on the background.  Don't know how I got it all black. Can you help?

    If you mean by "background" the blank work area that presents when you open the Editor, then right click on it and reset to white.
    If I have this wrong, please rephrase your inquiry.

    I just tried another thing that worked! make sure your macbook isn't plugged into the power source, then hold your power button in for 10 to 15 seconds until it turns off, and you do that 5 times, and then plug it back in and give your photobooth a go. Mine worked!

  • IMovie - I don't want to see black background - Want only to see photo

    What size does an image (photo) have to be in order that I see only the picture and not added black background?  Seems like some look fine and others have the black added to it.

    If your project is HD dimensions, your photo should be 16:9 (e.g. 1920x1080)
    If your project is standard def, it could be either 16:9 or 4:3 (e.g. 720x540)
    You can do this within iMovie by using the Rotate, Crop, Ken Burs tool on the middle toolbar.
    Use FIT to use the entire photo, but with black bars.
    Use CROP to cut off the top and bottom, but what is left fills the frame.

  • I am creating a Photo Book on iPhoto, when I previewed it, it appears a black strip on the border of each page, how can I solve this?

    'm doing a photo book in iPhoto, when I do a preview I get an edge on the outside border of each sheet. The edge is small, and seems to be a repeatition of the cover page. I did a preview in PDF and then appears as a black or white line. Can anyone help?

    The photos is the book tray are sorted by date.  So to get them in the order you want you need to do this;
    1 - group them in an album and manually sort in the order you want.
    2 - select all and go to the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date menu option.
    3 - select a 1 minute time differential between photos and click OK.
    4- add the photos to a book and they will be in the order you need.

  • I created a photo book in Photoshop elements 11 that contains png files with the invisible backgrounds.  When I export the book to a jpg or a pdf, the png files appear with white backgrounds.

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

    What does it show as? Did you try using a black color matte on a track below the images?
