Trying to change solid white to transparent in a black to white gradient in one layer of a psd file

Hi everyone
I have a multilayered psd file. All layers should remain opaque except the black to white gradient layer where I need the white to be transparent. So that when I oplace the final psd on top of a block of solid colour in Indesign the gradient shows the background colour through where the black fades off.
Any ideas?
thanks
Mark

Thanks for your reply. I am attaching a lowres psd file where I need to save it with top layer opaque and 'shadow' layer transparent. So that when I place it over solid colour in Indesign the gradient allows the background colour to show through where the balck is fading out.
cheers
Mark

Hello everyone, you can change the body of the iPhone from black to white?

Hello everyone, you can change the body of the iPhone from black to white?

How do I get the color of the address, in the address box, to be all black on white, and not part of it to be gray on white, and part to be black on white?

Right now, the address line in my address box, at the top of the page, begins "https://support", all in light gray, followed by "mozilla.com", in black, followed by "/en-US/questions/new?product=.......etc.", all in light gray on a white backround, so it is almost unreadable. Why did this start happening, and how do I change this, so that the address is all black on white, and not half gray and half black?

You can set the pref browser.urlbar.formatting.enabled to false on the about:config page.

When rotoscoping, how do I delete the background of a video so that when I import it into final cut, the background is transparent and not black or white?

Hello there,
I am new to after effects.
I'm currently working on some footage of a face talking. I have used the rotobrush to single out just the lips moving and have deleted the background. However, when I delete the background it automatically changes the background to a solid black.
The effect i'm looking for is more something of the effect of a PNG in photoshop - no background so that when it is imported into a movie, the lips with be free standing over other footage so that the oner footage will be shown behind the moving image of the lips..
I have looked at multiple tutorials and threads and found nothing that helps with my problem - if there is one, I apologise, I have just spent so long looking and thought here was the best place to come.
If anyone can give me any advice it would be very greatly appreciated - Thankyou!

First, check to make sure you actually HAVE transparency by doing one of three things: change the comp's background to something other than black, click on the button at the bottom of the comp window to view the alpha channel, or click the button on the bottom of the comp window to reveal the familiar Photoshop checkerboard background.
Next, select a codec that supports alpha channels -- in Quicktime-Land, that would be Animation, PNG or Prores 4444. For FCP, use ProRes if you can.
After that add the comp to the AE Render Queue. In the output module, select RGB+Alpha, Millions (or trillions) Of Colors +, and Straight, i.e. not premultiplied. If you absolutely MUST have audio (I personally have little use for it), check the appropriate check box.
Finally, save the project and hit the render button. DO NOT save the project again after rendering; instead, go file>Revert. That way, if you have one of those Homer Simpson "DOH!" moments where you realize you made a mistake, you simply delete the rendered file, make corrections, and you're all set to re-render.

Can apple change the backcover of my iphone. from black to white. and how much did this cost?

Hey guys,
the question stands there. please ask me if you had any questions.
have a nice day
FreshT

If it's an iPhone 4, it's actually quite easy. If it's a 3G or 3Gs, it's a lot more difficult (if not impossible).
As I mentioned, I've seen various other companies that make and sell them. Since it's a component not approved or endorsed by Apple, i'm hesitant to post the link here. Spend a few minutes Googling "replacement iphone back" and similar searches, and you'll find what you are looking for.
Good luck, and have fun!

Trying to change my best buy account number on best buy cc to the one i actually use

I recently was approved for a best buy credit card and when I applied they did not attach my old my best buy account number so it automatically issued a new one. I know my membership number and when i click on the link that allows me to link a different my best buy membership, it says the member id does not exist. I try looking it up using the information on my best buy and it also says it cannot find it. I should have points on my old account, but I cannot access the account to find out if I have enough for a certificate yet. Help!

Greetings kjacks58, and welcome to the Best Buy forum,
Before you try linking your accounts (BestBuy.com and My Best Buy™), I would suggest we look into merging your two My Best Buy™ accounts. The new account that is associated with your Best Buy credit card would be made the primary account, and any active points/certificates in the secondary account would transfer over to the primary following the merge.
With that being said, I will need some additional information from you before I can look into performing a merge. Please send me a private message with the information below and I will see what I can do to help. You can send a private message by clicking on the blue button in my signature that is labeled "Private Message."

Selecting and changing color from black to white?

I'm trying to change the colors in a graphic from black to white. I use the Magic Wand to make a selection, though it is only selecting the color of the specific shape I select, even after increasing the Tolerance to a high value to around 80. How can I make it select all of the black shapes all at once so I can change all of them?
Thanks.

In case of an image like that it may be more convenient to soimply load one channel by command-clicking it in the Channels Panel (if that channel has only pixels of 0% and 100% at least, if not the Mask derived from it may need tweeking with Curves or Levels).

Trying to change the labels for some UI elements

hi,
Problem: I am trying to change the labels for some UI elements and transport the views from one server to another server.
the lables show changed in the source server but the changes dont reflect in the destination server
Kidly help me to slove this problem

Hi Sharad
The process is as explained:
1.     Firstly, go to the respective view, and to the Label and then delete the Label Text as
                mentioned in the attribute u2018TEXTu2019 of the Label in the view.
2.     Next, Activate the View, if it asks for a change request, please assign it to a new TR.
3.     Finally give the Label text again and then Save it and activate it.
4.     Further transport the request to ECP and find the difference.
This especially happens when we frequently change the WD Component and embedd it entirely in the Transport.
I hope this information would be of a great help to all of us.
Ponts if helpful.

Trying to change game center apple id and not working?

I have tried to change it to my newer 1 because my dad took my old one and isn't going to let me keep using it
I managed to get him to tell me the password but he is going to change it at a later date. So i made a new account and added some money to it and now when i go to change what apple id is assigned to the game center account it says apple id is already in use it gets me to put my name in and my apple id password. WHY ISN"T IT WORKING I NEED IT FOR A GAME I JUST BOUGHT

Try this:
Open the Game Center app.
Choose "Me" at bottom.
Scroll down
Tap "Account: [youremail]@[youremailprovider.com]
Tap "Sign out."
Then sign in with whatever Apple ID you like.
If this does not work, then there is an issue with your Apple ID account. It would need to be resolved by either
removing any email addresses associated with your Apple ID that is also associated with another Apple ID [like your Dad's Apple ID] at appleid.apple.com [choose "Manage Your Apple ID"]
by going through the Express Lane to revolve miscellaneous issues with your Apple ID expresslane.apple.com.
Best of luck!

Im trying to change address on both phones! 150 number not working!

im trying to change my address on both phones, 150 number not working, customer service one not working either, i just want someone to change it online, ee is so annoying!!

Glad it is working for you. I suspect until they get the problems sorted, they are not doing the upgrades, as the weather has been bad and so need to get any damages sorted first, to make sure that people can connect.

Solution for printing black and white in acrobat

Hi,
Here was the problem :
I was trying to convert my colored pdf file to black and white but nothing was working. Others were having the same problem too (such as http://adobeforums.com/webx/.59b5454d ) and the topic was already archived so I could not post the reply.
I tried also to print as black (as it can be found at the bottom of the print button in the acrobat 8 ) but it just made my whole document black.
So, the solution
TO convert your color pdf to black and white and save it as black and white pdf do the following (I am using acrobat 8 )
1. GO to file > Print
2. Choose pdf from the printer
3. At the very bottom there is a button called "advanced" in the middle of "printing tips" and "summarize comments". Click the advanced button
4. In the advanced option, under output - there is an option called color and the next to it is written "composite"
Change it to "composite gray"
5. press ok and it brings you back to the main printing window
6. Now if you press ok it prints your file to black and white.
Hope this will help some people.

My biggest challenge is printing pdfs of schematic diagrams where color is used to signify "layers" in a drawing. Hardest one to read is "yellow" on white for lines or text.
I found a solution, however it may apply to my specific printer only (Sharp MX-2300N).
From the print dialog, select "Properties" next to the printer name.
From the priter properties popup, select the "Main" tab, and check "Black and White print".
From the "Color" tab, make these selections:
Color Mode: Select "black and white"
Color Adjustment: Check "Text to Black"
Color Adjustment: Check "Vector to Black"
Other printers may have similar configuration options.

Printing as Black and White

We recently upgraded to X, and have noticed that the Black and White setting for Grayscale is gone. I looked around in the forums and found the suggestion to "Convert to black and white in the Fixups" but my Fixup menu does not have that option- I have options to convert to CMYK and Grayscale, but not Black and White.
We need this option to run film negatives- any Dot Gain percentage as the grayscale setting gives us a dot pattern. Is there any way to get this option back? Otherwise we're kind of screwed. I also tried to install Acrobat 9.3.0, and the Black and White option is also missing on there, even though it's available in 9.5.0 on my other Mac (10.5.8)
Using a Mac, Lion 10.7.3, Acrobat 10.1.1
thanks!

Hi Val,
Try choosing File > Print. Click the 'Printer' buttom at the bottom. Change the dropdown from 'Layout' to 'Quality & Media'. Check the grayscale button here.

Videos black and white

Hi there.
I have a iPod 80GB, and the original iPod AV cables with docking station. I have connected the cables to my home theatre system. Music fine, and I have a cable running from video out on dvd to tv (plasma). Get picture, but in black and white. Have changed all components (dvd, iPod and tv) to PAL, still no change. Any ideas PLEASE!
Thanks

To everyone else who have tried the PAL to NTSC setting and still getting black and white output.
I had a 60 GB IPod Video which I bought the A/V KIT. I set the TV out to ON made sure it was set to NTSC, even tried the S-Video Cable which I bought at Radio Shack. Tried several different TVs. I reset the iPOD, even restored it to factory settings wiping all my data and reloading the COLOR video's with no luck.
After many fustrating searches on many websites (none of which had solutions but several others who had the same problem), I called apple support. Due to my inability to make a descion on how to repair the problem I actually ended up taking to three different support personal. Each with a different solution. The last swore up and down that it was a bad Apple A/V Cable. This made no sense since the s-Video also put out black in white.
Finially, I was able to show the problem to the Genius at the local Apple Store who confirmed the iPOD had a defective video out chip.
SOLUTION: IPod had to be replaced.
WARNING; since the IPod was replaced, I no longer had the laser engraving. You may be able to ship an laser engraved iPod to Apple, but I'm not sure if they will promise to return the personilized iPod so consider carefully your choices.
Otherwise, I love the iPod, looking forward to what iPhone is going to do.

AME encoding in black and white

Currently trying out the After Effects CC trial and when trying to export a composition, AME is exporting in black and white only (H.264 -- Match Source - High bitrate preset on a Mac). I'm not seeing any obvious toggle for color changes. Is this a limitation of the trial or am I doing something wrong?

well that's wierd.
the trial is in color

Force Canon C5030 to print black and white

Hello:
I am trying to force my Canon C5030 to only print black and white even if it is sent color prints. We do not use a print server and if I change the defaults on each machine, co-workers can still change it to print color. Is there a way to force this through the settings on the actual printer?
Michael
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
I don't know what setting on the device could prevent from printing in color. Maybe something in service mode.
I would suggest to use the Canon Generic PCL6 driver and set it to 'Black & White [A3]' in Device Settings in the printer's properties. In that way, you can provide all functionalities like finishing options, drawers etc. and the color option will not be available.
But If you don't have a print server, probably users will be able to install a color capable driver themselves on their computer.
