Taking photos in white on black

when i switch over from black on white to white on black, it looks cool and when i tried to take pictures of it and switch back, it was the same picture in black on white. is there a way to take a picture in white on black and keep it as that?

I don't know or sure, but I haven't be able to do that.
However, I have been able to get a very similar result in Preview.
In Preview, open any image, e.g. a normal picture of the screen or of window or anything else. Choose from the menu bar Tools > Image Correction. In the panel that appears, you'll see White Point and Black Point. Click on the colors to change them. Make the White Point black, and the Black Point white.
Though, the Sepia setting looks pretty nifty when turned all the way up instead.
If you actually wanted grayscale, I haven't figured that out other than opening the image in iPhoto. You can use iPhoto's Adjust panel to make the image grayscale in one click. Then you can do all sorts of things to it, including photocasting it.

Is there a way to change the WHITE background color of the photo gallery/COLLECTIONS to BLACK. IPad 4 ios 7

As a Professional Photographer, I chose to buy an IPad 4 for only one reason and that was the amazing color and clarity of the Photo Gallery as a mobile Portfolio.
Originally the background color of the IPad 4 Gallery was BLACK and this facilitated the photos greatly, photos look better and stand out better on a BLACK background. White backgrounds cause a glare eminating from the edges of the photo and cause iris in our eyes to close down, degrading the quality of the photo being viewed.
I updated to ios 7 and now my IPad 4 has a WHITE background, which is unacceptable for viewing photos.
HOW DO I CHANGE the WHITE background on the Photo/Gallery/COLLECTIONS to BLACK?
Apple should ALWAYS give USERS/OWNERS of their products control of such details. IT'S JUST GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE!

Vancouver22 Thanks for your help... the SLIDESHOW turned black for me automatically when the slideshow began. That works most excellent!
Now if I can just get the White Background to STAY BLACK, this might not be as painful as I feared.
My IP4 does lag slightly, but not enough to set fire to it yet.
The gallery/COLLECTIONS/ALBUMS are the most important thing to me.
Thanks!

IPhoto says " no pics ". Events is pitch black, Photos is white, and I can't restore my Library .

iPhoto says " no pics " at the bottom of the screen.
But Events is pitch black ( why ), Photos is white ( normal ), and I can't restore my Library .
When I want to restore the Library, it is said that it is already there ... Where ?

Black and White Photo's with a black background

I am doing a video with all black and white photo's with a black background. The black background does not show up black when projected on a screen. I used a black border on the photo's and the border shows up black. How do I get the background to show up black?
Thanks,

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

I pick a photo, make a copy, add a mask and when I use a brush nothing happens to the mask or the picture. White or black?

I pick a photo, make a copy, add a mask and when I use a brush nothing happens to the mask or the picture. White or black.

If I understand you correctly, you have
Opened an image, and copied the background layer.
Added a layer mask, and finding that painting in the mask makes no difference whether you paint with black or white.
That is what you would expect to happen if both layers are identical. To demonstrate, make a change to the copied layer. Either change the blend mode to Multiply, or lower the opacity, or paint big red stripes across it. Now when you paint with black, the red stripes will disappear where the mask is black, and be visible where the make is white.

White on Black option and photos

I like the look of White on Black.
Settings/General/Accessibility/White On Black
But the photos I've viewed so far when the phone is in this mode have the look of negatives. Is it supposed to be this way, or is there another setting I'm missing? I can't see why they would give you the WOB option if you are unable to view photos normally. You have to turn off to enjoy a pic.

You notice how it's on the Accessibility settings?
It's for making the phone easier for people to use. I personally use it to create a high contrast when I'm in the sun, and reading text messages. It's not meant for viewing pictures... :-|

When I try to include a white and black photo in a iMovie the result is a black totaly black picture which does not show in the movie. Why? Can it be fixed?

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Other than that, what version of iPhoto do you have? Assuming 09 or later try
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. .

Some Photos with iOS 7 black or white screen

Since I've downloaded the new iOS 7 several weeks ago, some of my photos using Apple's pre-installed camera app or other camera apps all totally white or black. While they appear fine in the thumbnail, when you go to view the full photo it's entirely black or white. This only occurs for some photos. I noticing this mainly with my iPhone 4S. Any suggestion to resolve?
Thanks.

Hi kclh87,
It looks as if you have turned on one of the Accessibility features - Grayscale. To turn it off, go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Grayscale and slide the switch to the right. See this manual -
iPhone User Guide
Page 151 contains the information.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Taking photos with my iPhone5c color shifts from photo to square

When taking photos with my iphone 5c ios7 I notice the color shifts from photo to square. The color changes are noticible. I have auto focus on, flash off, on both formats I click on the image to get exposure and focus and take the photo.

Hi Rick,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If the colors look different when you take pictures in "photo" and "square" mode, make sure that there are no filters being used:
Apply a filter: (iPhone 4s or later) Tap the filter icon to apply different color effects, such as black & white. To turn off a filter, tap , then tap None. You can also apply a filter later, when you edit the photo. See Edit photos and trim videos.
If you are seeing unexpected results when taking pictures with your iPhone 5c, these troubleshooting steps can help:
Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
Try to remain steady while focusing:
Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.

HT1349 The iPhone 4S setting (white on black) it is so cool! But one thing that I don't know if Apple is aware of this glitch or not, but they need to fix it, when you go to that mode every picture and every icon go to negative view, has anyone experience

One very COOL feature on iPhone 4S that I just discovered, is the (White on Black) display mode, which is so cool and atrictive. When you go to that mode, every picture on the iPhone, facebook, icons and every other applications that displays a picture are effected, native or installed Apps. that displays a picture goes in to negative view, if you want to view your pictures, you have to go back to the default setting, very disappointing.
This is a very cool feature and Apple needs to find a way that all photos are immune and preserved from the conversion when a user switches to that mode.
Love to hear your comments and suggestions and I'm sure that Apple developers can come up with a solution to fix the glitch.

Why doesn't the 3-way CC do anything when I click on "white" or "black"??

Hey y'all! I'm new here from FCP7. I don't know if this is normal or if I'm missing something but I definitely can't seem to be able to figure it out and it's driving me crazy!
I have noticed that the 3way color corrector doesn't do much when I click on an area that's supposed to be "white" or "black". So I thought I'd do some testing. In photoshop I created a 3-color image (black, white, & 50% grey) and then applied a blue tint to it. Then imported the tinted image in both Premiere and FCP7.
Here's the result in PrPro:
Here's the result in FCP7:
This is what I do:
- i apply the 3-way color corrector in PrPro
- i click on the little "highlights" eye dropper
- click on the white portion of the image
The result? Nothing.
I do the same for the midtones and the shadows. And I end up with what you see in the first image on the left.
When I do exactly the same in FCP7 you can see it gets rid of the blue tint and I end up with an image that is exactly what white/black/midtones should look...
WHAT AM I MISSING IN PREMIERE PRO???

Now we're starting to get somewhere!
Robmbrown, I love the color tests you just did. I will make sure to change those values in my preset as well.
Neil, I have not worked with SpeedGrade yet so I can't comment on that. However, I do know that if I use Sg then every time I want to make any adjustments to my image I will have to go through Sg again. That's one more app I have to use, one more step I have to do, one more project to manage, and after all that - I still have no control of the image once I'm back inside my editing application and every time I want to make a quick change to it I have to go through the process again. And when you have to do that a bunch of times every day while working with tight deadlines where every minute counts and you have your clients sitting next to you waiting then that workflow is just not an option for you. You need a quick/powerful/working 3 way color correction tool inside your editing application and you need it right then and there. Anything less than that is just not worth it. Currently, Premiere does not have that.
Kevin, please don't get me wrong. There are many features in Premiere Pro that I absolutely LOVE! The rate stretch tool is so much fun and such a time-saver! The ability to customize so many things and, as we just saw, create my own 3 way color corrector is amazing. However, I would trade all these amazing tools and features any day for an application that can give me the basic tools I need to edit my projects quickly yet professionally. This week I had to uninstall and re-install all the CC apps because Sg wasn't working and Premiere was freezing whenever I tried to scale a clip up or move it. After I did that, Premiere is still acting up but now Media Encoder also doesn't work. Next time, it's going to be After Effects... I don't want to have to rely on 5 different apps to be able to edit my projects, especially if they're so unreliable. I don't know how it was before so I don't know what progress Adobe has made on the development of all these apps. I made the switch to PP CC two months ago. I spent one month learning the software and customizing all the keyboard shortcuts and learning about all the cool features in it. I wanted to make sure that before I started complaining about anything that doesn't work it wasn't my fault for not knowing how to use the software. And if I didn't, then I would come here to learn from the pros about how it's done. But my mentality as an editor is to always find ways to do what I'm doing faster without compromising the quality of my projects. I think that's how most young editors think. For me, it either works or it doesn't. "It works BUT..." = Doesn't work. As Rob said, all these little things send the message that Adobe isn't taking this seriously. Now that I've seen both the good and the bad about Premiere it is obvious to me that this app was designed for "quick and dirty" kind of work. And if you want to get "professional" you have to use a bunch of other apps along with it which never work so you're pretty much stuck no matter what. Yes, I know that there are LOTS of people on here who have no problems with the apps working. But there are also JUST AS MANY people who are posting every day about something not working in some app. You're only as strong as your weakest link and, unfortunately for Adobe, it has way too many weak leaks in its chain and the strong ones just can't make up for them...
Anyway, this discussion has gone from a simple question about a filter into the whole philosophy of Adobe and the truth is we can keep talking about that stuff for days. So if you'll excuse me, I now need to go learn AVID. Hopefully, I have a different experience there. Good luck everyone and thanks for your help!!

White and black point vs ??

I never know which forum to post these things, so I'll start with the photographers.
 
 These three shots are as follows: (1) the camera raw version, (2) where I moved the sliders from the ends to approximately the beginning/end of the major portion of the histogram, and (3) using the threshold control to find the white and black points in the main part of the picture.
 
 Then, in the two adjusted versions, I lightened the image with the curves control.
 
 In both these cases, I used the grey dropper to touch the same spot on one of the rocks, to get the apparent neutral point.
 
 It seems to me that the threshold method to find the white and black points is preferred, based on the overall color and appearance of the finished adjustment.
 
 But, I've found on some images where the histogram has missing black and missing white, if I adjust the sliders to these two ends, I get pretty much the same outcome, as far as the contrast, color, and grey point.
 
 Could I have some advice on the preferred method to use in handling my image adjustments? Doing it the threshold method takes more time, and sometimes it's difficult to find the white and black points, or even the grey point.
 
 Thanks.
 
 Al

Yes the image was purposely underexposed. What I was trying to accomplish was to speed up the shutter speed to remove the slight blurring and compensate by pulling data from the shadows. Even though the lens has an image stabilizer the amount of light wasn't enough for a proper sharp shot.
this image is before touch up
These two images are F/5.6, 1/20, ISO 800
After touch up
Better lit scene but shows slight motion blur
This last image is F/5.6, 1/4, ISO 800
I believe that I will have to wait next year and hope I have a faster lens by then. I just don't think the 28mm-135mm f/3.5-5.6 lens is fast enough. I was trying this without a tripod to get in tighter.
Also I was taking these shots without the flash to get the drama of the tree lights.
What I would have prefer is a shutter speed of 1/125 or better as it helps with my hands shaking I believe the slowest should be 1/60
And the lower the ISO the better for noise.
These preferences are what I am used to with my Canon G3 that does not have IS.
I am getting so off track here, lol. But anyways, here are the pictures.

How can i accentuate whites and blacks in photoshop b/w ,no acr?

Hi
how can i accentuate whites and blacks in photoshop in black and white photos?
i tried silver evef 2 and there is a feature to boost whites and blacks http://www.niksoftware.com/silverefexpro/usa/entry.php?view=usa/features.html#amplify_blac ks_and_whiteshttp://
levels and curves don't give me the same results
i tried to create a luminocity mask of whites with selective color
is there a great skill to boost whites for example?
thanks
cheers

I use CS5 with Silver Efex Pro v2, but again, without seeing an example of what you're seeing or what you want to achieve, it's difficult to suggest what specific technique will get you what you want using Photoshop alone.
I'm sure some combination of Luminosity Mask, Levels/Curves/Contrast Adjustment Layers would probably give you what you want, but if the Silver Efex Presets, perhaps with some tweaking/customization, give you what you want, and the speed, or lack thereof, is not a problem, well, just stick with what you have!
And as Duotone and Lundberg have pointed out, there are alternatives to Siver Efex; I'm sure you could download a 30 day trial of those packages to play with and see if they meet your needs.
Good luck
Paul
