Solution to make all white in background

Before I joined the company, they filmed in studio with white wall. Many clips that has one side dark and other side look good. How to eliminate dark side? My video clips worth 7 hours and dark side might be about 2 hours worth. Hope you have solution to remove dark side. Help!

My approach would be to make a mask out of it.
In After Effects (not sure if there's a motion equivalent) I'd change all the colors to a black and white ramp. Then I'd eliminate the gray and make it just black and white (pure black, pure white).
Then I'd reverse the colors and track matte it ontop of the original.
Won't be super clean... but you can get it darn close with a few tweaks to get the edges right.
Good luck though.

  • How to make a white background Transparent

    I would like to to select the blocks and enclosed data to copy and paste in a poster, leaving out the white background.  In other words make the white background transparent. 
    This is just a plain low res jpg.
    This seems like it would be pretty easy but not for me.  Is there a tutorial that could guide me through this?
    Thank you for any guidance you can give me.

    I'm probably not being clear about what I'm trying to do.  Here's a typical poster.  I use the magnetic lasso to select an image, copy and paste it resulting in this.
    This time it's to be a team picture with small head shots of each player, action photos in the background, similar to this.  I can do all that but I wanted the tournament chart to lay on top of the background with just the boxes and enclosed info showing.  I know I can use the magnetic lasso or the poly lasso but I don't have enough patience for that.

  • Need help getting all white background for jewelry pics and resizing help for my website

    Can someone please help me?  I'm completely new to photoshop and I have elements 12 and I need to make the background all white for my jewelry photos.  I have googled instructions but a lot of my jewelry has chain in it so it's hard to select, erase etc.  I have no idea what I'm doing.  I also need to resize my photos to 400x400 but when I do they distort.  Someone told me I can collect the background color and then resize the canvas but again I'm a complete newbie and none of this makes any sense to me.
    Thank you

    thanks,

    You can't change it within the OS. There may be some apps which will do it. Search Dock on MacUpdate.
    But all these types of haxies come with possible risk.

    After I got a 27" screen, I had problems with the interface text being too small as well. That can be fixed with Mozilla applications if you set up a userChrome.css file in the profile inside a subdirectory called chrome. The code I used:

    When inserting a .pdf of a document into a Keynote template with a standard white paper color the text and images show up, but the white background is transparent. How do you also make the white paper color show up?

    Use the color fill option - select the inserted .pdf and assign a fill color of white to it using the Color Fill Menu on the Toolbar or the Color Picker Palette.

    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

  • Preview PDF has a black and white checked background

    Hi All.
    I am trying to look at a map in pdf format which when opened in Preview has a grey and white checked background behind the black lines. this makes it impossible to read. i realize that I can open this in Acrobat Reader I guess but does anyone know what this is called and why it is there or how to get rid of it/
    i realize it has something to do with layers or transparency but is there a good way to get a solid black or white background behind a pdf such as this in Preview?
    Thanks for any advice.

    When that student logs on go to the Universal Access preference pane and make sure the display setting is set to black on white, then go to the Displays preference pane and make sure it is set to millions of colors.
    Those are the only things I can think of off hand that may be causing the issue.

  • How do I make all clips the same brightness?

    I'm editing a four-minute video with ten clips, opening and closing titles, and a graphic. It's essentially a talking head presentation. The sound from a lapel mic is good as is the framing. But we used available lighting coming through a large window. So the top of the frame, the white background, is a little darker than the bottom. Also some clips are somewhat overall darker than others.
    Is there a way that I could make them all the same brightness? In the Adjust panel I can select only one clip at a time to change the lighting. It would be neat if there was an action that would make all the clips equally bright.

    Yes, there is.  Assuming you have several similar clips, you make all the adjustments you think they all will need to one clip.  Then, select the adjusted clip, right click, "Copy".  Select the rest of the similar clips, right click and "Paste Effects and Adjustments".  All the clips will now have the same adjustments.
    Make this an early part of the work because ALL effects and adjustments are applied.  After this first and primary adjustment is made, more adjustments can be made to individual clips.

    I am trying to use photomerge compose.  I open one standard jpeg image and one image that is my business logo in a png format.  When I select the png image, to extract the logo from it, it appears as all white and will not allow me to select the logo from it.  It has worked in the past but I downloaded the update today and photomerge will not work correctly.  Any ideas?

    hedger,
    How do you expect anyone to help when we don't know a darned thing about the file, abut your setup, exact version of Photoshop and your OS, machine specs, etc.?
    BOILERPLATE TEXT:
    Note that this is boilerplate text.
    If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
    such as your platform (Mac or Win),
    exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
    your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
    the type of file you were working on,
    machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
    what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
    what error message(s) you receive,
    if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
    if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
    etc.,
    someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).
    a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too.

  • Make a white plate?

    We are a print shop, if we need to print white, we normally just change white to a cream color, and know its white for making our Flexo plates.  We sent a 5 color spot image to a digital house, that is going to output our label digital with an HP indigo.  Well they told me they were going to charge me $50.00 to make a white plate.  So i told them to hold their horses.  Is this hard?  Are they asking me to do somthing that hard?

    If your file needs to be modified at all, $50 is still not unreasonable to do it. If your real question is why your file needs to be modified, one would only be guessing without knowing more:
    You stated in your first post that the file is already set up as a 5 spot-color job.
    Did you print your own color seps from your file to a PostScript device (or to PDF) before handing it off to the printing house? Do the separations come out correctly when you do that?
    Indigo presses have been around for quite a while, and there are now several models with different capabilities. There are no "plates" involved, in the traditional sense. (That's why Indigos can cost-effectively do data-merged files.) Without knowing more about your file and the specific device it will be printed by, one cannot advise you. Why don't you discuss the specifics of the issue with the printing house?
    My guess would be that on the Indigo, the opaque white might need to be an overprinting ink, in order to "back up" the CMYK inks used for the other colors, and thereby effectively make them opaque. That is, I doubt that they would actually set this job up as 5 spot colors on an Indigo. But again, this is just a guess without knowing the specifics of the job.

  • Removing grey-and-white grid background?

    Hey ,
    I installed Acrobat 9 Pro, version 9.4.1, one week ago. Since then, in every opened pdf-document appers an grey-and-white-grid-background (see figure below).  Normally, I would expect a white background, which I get under this setting only, if I change the background manually to white. How can I change this setting, to get the normally white background as a default? Support is warmly welcome - training_needed
