White Background Looks Awful

9 is a travesty. Bring back the black. White is just appalling. Whoever worked on 9 is a knucklehead.

Okay, if you are unhappy with itunes 9, I can tell you now from experience that a system restore will not save you or get ambient back again but you can go back to the way things were if you follow these steps...
1/ go to filehippo.com and download the older version of itunes that you liked, for me it was version 8.2.1.6.
2/ Open your control panel and delete the newer, hated version 9 of itunes only - you can keep the same quicktime.
3/ install old version ... if it says that it can't play because itunes library was created by using newer software, close the itunes down and just delete itunes library to the recycle bin but don't empty the bin!!!
4/ Reboot and it should be just dandy ... mine is 100% restored to the way it was and yes, ambient music is back in there and working fine as is the itunes store with original backgrounds and all other features are also fine, oddly enough, it copied the missing itunes library and I had no probs with it ... the reason that I said not to empty your recycle bin is just a precaution.
I for one am going to leave it this way for a week at least before I consider emptying my recycle bin and I did make sure also that I had a valid restore point to go back to in case of serious problems.
For those that are curious - I originally tried a normal system restore to try to get itunes back to what I had but it just didn't work guys, sorry.

Why does a new blank file with a white background look yellowish?

I have a custom PC running Windoes 7, 4gigs of memory and an AOC 22inch LED monitor. The color white in Photoshop Elements looks off and almot a light yellow. What gives? I tried a reinstall of PE 10 to no avail.

Have you calibrated your monitor? Your monitor utility probably has some kind of adjustment software. If it gives you a chance to set the color temperature, a lower number in degrees kelvin is warmer (yellower), while a higher number is cooler (bluer).

White background on iPod classic Cover Flow view

The white background looks a bit pony. Is there any way to change it to black, like the iTunes Cover Flow view?

Many thanks!

Notes - how do I get rid of the yellow pad look and get back to a plain white background?

Someone thought this was a good idea to create a yellow pad look and handwritten note feel. Someone who doesn't actually have to read back their text when they work.
I changed the font to Helvetica, but I can't get rid of the lines. With my eyesight, it makes it harder to read and find things in the note. I really want a blank white screen as a background.
If you feel like you need to go all paper-cutesy, how about a white linen look and feel? At least that wouldn't have lines running through the text and making me have to work a little harder to decipher the text.

Any way to get rid of the awful white background in grid view?

The old dark background was infinitely easier on the eyes, and more attractive. When I look at stuff in grid view now it gives me a headache. Any chance of changing this back via terminal or something?

I would also like to know how to get rid of ugly *** white background. It ****** me off every time I have to look at it. There is nothing that I see here as being an improvement over the last itunes.

You will need a 3rd party image editor that can seletively remove the background and let you create a transparent background png file. Maybe with a drop shadow (or not) something like this:
A photo of me during one of my therapy sessions. If you have Pages (part of iWork) you can also make transparent background images with the Alpha tool..

Transparency looks different on white background

Why do transparent objects look different on white background vs no background like the image below?
If I flatten the transparency both sides of the gradient object looks like it's on a white background.
If I print it there's no difference.

Turn on simulate colored paper in your document setup.

How do I change background color to white when looking at single image?

I know I can go to 'preferences' and choose white backgrounds but this changes only the background of the page that shows all my photos together. If I select one photo to view, the background turns to black again - as it does if I view an image at screen size. Can I change these backgrounds to white? I think black ***** the life out of images and makes them appear smaller and would prefer to always see my images against white, as in a book. Since I work with images and colours this is very important to me.

Best way to edit out a white background and make a transparent gif

I have an image I purchased but need to make it into a gif. It already has a white background but when I use the magic wand it chops little bits of the edge of the images up.
Is there an easier way of editing the white out of this background and making a transparent gif?
I am using Adobe Photoshop CS2
Image is attached to take a look.
Thanks, I appreciate any help with this.

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!

How to print CWiGraph control in white background and different font?

I have a CWiGraph control in dialog. I look at your example for printing the CWiGraph control, but I don't want print the exact image like showing on the screen, I like to print the graph in white background, not the same color like graph frame and plot area on the screen. Also I want to change a label font to show on the paper. How to do that?
Thanks.

about this method: setImageableArea(.....)
public void setImageableArea(double x, double y, double width, double height);
like I said, I've tried this method and it doesn't seem to do anything.
the width=the JFrame Width,the height=the JFrame Height right?actually, when printing, 72 points (printing version of pixels) = 1 inch, so to do WYSIWYG, you need width = JFrameWidth * 72.0 / Toolkit.getToolkit().getScreenResolution. Ditto with height
upper left beginningx(0)---------------------------200--------------------------------600-----------------------------------y(1000)upper right beginningyou need to do something like PageSetup.getImageableX and do Graphics.translate(x,y);
also, if your page width = 720, that = 10 inches - that's a wide page (unless its in landscape)
so if i want the JFrame To Be In The Center Of The Page I Would Choose From x=200 ,y=600 depending that frame width is 400Actually, it would be 300 - 700 in your example
Because when i tried to use:setImageableArea(200, 600, 400, 200);like the above code
no changes occurs in the printed paperYes. You need to offset the Graphics object

How do you Whiten an off-white background in PSE (pic of a person with a shadow)?

I have PSE10 on my PC. I use it to edit photos I take of people in a studio set up with a white background and white vinyl on the floor.
Currently I whiten the BG and floor by, 1) using a Levels layer (to darken the image) and then 2) apply the Dodge tool (set to highlights) to the original image.
It is good (a bit time consuming) but when I get to the shadow of a person I don't know how to edit the shadow of the person. If I leave the shadow alone, the photo then looks odd!! Currently I use the Dodge tool (set to Shadows at about 75%) and go over the shadow to lighten it a bit which seems okay but I wanted a method from someone that was familiar with editing studio pics of people...ideally something that was a guided/automatic edit but any manual method would do.
2 examples I have seen thus far are;
Using Curves in CS to whiten the background (which is quick and easy and automatically lightens the shadows of the subject to provide a natural look) but only 'Colour' Curves is available in PSE and I am not sure if this will do the same job?
Using Set White Point in Levels and then use the mask and paint brush to paint the subject back in but I am not sure of every step and don’t know how well this works and if it is of any use when it come to the shadow of a person?
Please provide a step by step guide on your method of doing this.
Thanks in advance :-)

Have you tried Enhance...Adjust Lighting...Shadows/Highlights?

I'm shooting great white screen but when I key out the white background, I have a very thin white outline around my person that I don't know how to soften without loosing some facial opacity. Any suggestions?

Hi,
I'm shooting white screen and FINALLY have my lighting, white balance, exposure and focus making a great looking, crispy clip! But when I key out the white background in a short segment, I'm left with a very thin, white outline around my person that I don't know how to soften, without loosing facial opacity. I only tried using the 'Edges' tool. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

set the wake-on lan on the main computer
The laptop's too far away from the router to be connected by ethernet. It's all wifi.
No separate server app on the laptop, it's all samba
The files are on a windows laptop and a hard drive hooked up to the windows laptop. The windows share server is pants, so I'd need some sort of third party server running. Maybe you weren't suggesting to use Samba to connect to the windows share though?
I'm glad that you've all understood my ramblings and taken and interest, thanks The way I see it, I can't be the only netbook user these days looking for this kind of convenience, and I certainly won't be once chrome and moblin hit the market.

How to change white background with text to transparent background

Good afternoon,
I have a jpg file (part of our logo) white background with black text and I would like to change it to transparent background and keep the black text (to be able to insert it on a cup image).
I tried to change it in photoshop, however, when I slide the "opacity" and "fill", the text got ligther as well.
Do I need to have the original psd.file to be able to do that, or can you please lead me through with jpg file? (I tried to save the jpg to psd and png, but it did not help.)
I looked on one of your videos, but I could not find one of the features under "Select" tab.
My plan is to recreate the text to have the transparent background if necessary (It would be great if I can avoid that). However, how do I find out which font was originaly used? Does photoshop has this feature, or do I need to go trough each of the font one-by-one?
My last question is, how do I change space between letters (to have them more tight. I am not able to find it.
Thank you for your help,
Klara

If you can get teh original PSD file get it, your task will be a lot easier.
I suspect that won't be an option to you.
If you know what fonts are being used, that also would be of benefit to you. In other word remake it using your image as a template.
If it going over an image, then a multiply blend might work for you.
All that fails then you are down to removing the white background. The problem this option is it will not look as good due to the thin lines on the fonts. But essentially, Load the image into photoshop, make sure the layer isnt locked, then try the magic eraser tool on the white background, bam it'll disappear, but leave the white inside the O white you will have to do seperately.
Messing with levels will help you with more of the white. Myself i'd rebuild it using the fonts.
