White text appears gray on TV

I created a home movie using FCP X and i have simple titles that separate each section. The titles use white text created in FCP. I'm noticing on my new Samsung un55d8000 tv that when the titles appear on the screen, they look white for a moment and then fade to gray.
Is there a specific white that i should be using to avoid this?

I don't believe I'm using any template. I'm simply entering text onto the timeline.

White background appears "gray" after export

Hello, I have created a short video with a white background (title screen) and no matter what compression settings I use to export the file to Quicktime, I always have the same problem -- the white background appears gray in the final video (with the exception of the uncompressed YUV422 setting).
Does anyone know why this is happening? Thanks!
Windows XP Pro Quicktime Pro 7.1.3

Do you think this has anything to do with the default color corrections? Can I disable them altogether?

White text appears black/grey after export to PDF - but only on a PC!

I use Pages to make flyers in A4-format. But 8 out of 10 times I make one, convert it to PDF and send it to my boss via Mail, I get a reply where he says that everything looks good but the text.
I have a colored background or image with white text on top in its own layer.
This problem has been tauting me for several weeks now, and I thought I had the soloution recently when I started to make sure that the text layer where brought to the front (top layer). But still i get the message back that the text is either black or dark grey and can´t be read on his PC. It looks fine on my Mac, but not on his XP/Vista computer.
- I usually convert using the "Better" compression mode.
- I tried to convert it using Print - Print to PDF but the problem persists.
- I have deleted the plist-file as well. Same problem.
But since this doesnt happen with all my flyers, I am beginning to think that there is something I am doing "wrong" while making the flyer or that there is some kind of "rule" that I dont know about. Or is it an unstable PDF-export algorithm?
Can anybody help me please?

When I boot up my iMac I get a black screen with white text?

Hey guys wondering if anyone can help me. I installed mountain lion on my iMac the other day (2.8ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 24inch) and now when I turn it on I get this screen come up? Any one no of a way to fix it? It comes up black all this white text appears and at the end it says..
"If you wish to boot the system:
exit
:/ root #
You type exit and some more stuff comes up then the mac boots up, normal apple loading screen and your in?? I tried reinstalling mountain lion again and I had no luck. Still doing it? Its strange cause ML is running fine on my macbook air. If anyone has any suggestions I would be so grateful. Tell me this isnt the end of her?
Its not something silly like the keyboard and mouse aren't connecting? I leave them on all the time.
Heres a snap of the screen
Thanks everyone

I did reset the PRAM, but don't think that worked. I did find this on a blog on the web. It worked for me
When I first read this post I did not realize that the Mac boots properly if you type "exit". It seems like perhaps your mac thinks you want to boot in "verbose" mode. Try this before doing a reinstall.
http://www.ernieflores.net/osx-page-3/always-boot-mac-os-x-in-verbose-mode/
I got this info from here
http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/os-x-operating-system/280859-black-screen-white -text-startup.html
note: after it starts with the white text and black screen just type exit then hit return key and the computer will startup. open the terminal after that and follow the ernie flores blog tip.

White swatch is gray

Hi there,
I've noticed that Illustrator CS4 displays the white swatch as gray in swatches palette. The unfortunate thing is that when I place the Illustrator file that has white in the art into InDesign, everything that is colored white appears gray. The problem is that I work in a print shop where we proof things via PDF on screen to some customers. When I produce a PDF out of InDesign with said placed art, white appears gray. Naturally my customers start asking why their job is printing gray instead of white.
My question is if there is any way to disable this appearance of white in the process so I end up with an accurate PDF? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Wade,
Trashing the preferences seems to have done away with the gray/white swatch. Thanks! In regard to your previous suggestion, I'm 100% sure it was the white swatch I was selecting. The white swatch appeared gray both in the color palette when all CMYK sliders were set to zero, and when I opened the Default CMYK swatches palette. Also, any object I drew had an ever so slight gray cast in Illustrator and PDFs.
It's as if I toggled on some appearance of white setting that is similar to the options for appearance of black. Being of the nature I am, even though the preference trashing seems to have fixed it I would still like to know what setting made the difference.
Thanks for all the help, everyone.

Text appearing as white on white on a webpage?

A friend of mine created this website http://www.confinementmovie.com/ but for me in Safari (and Firefox) most of the text appears as white on a white background (i.e. it can't be read unless highlighted with a mouse). He said this isn't true for other people he's shown it to. Is this a problem of some settings on my computer/browsers, or a problem in the html of his site?

Thanks for checking! From further information I have received elsewhere, evidently the site was created in Microsoft Word and only displays properly in Internet Explorer.

Problems with white text & transparency from Photoshop to Acrobat

Hello Adobe Community!
What I am doing: I have a design I created in Photoshop CC. This design has a transparent background. I am attempting to save this as a PDF in photoshop so I am able to open it in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and print it on any color paper with only the design showing
Issue: When I open the saved PDF in Acrobat. I can only see my white text and a faint outline of part of my design, and not even all the rest of the design.
Then when I print it on color paper only the text shows up (with black stroke) on the paper along with my crop marks I made in the PS design. also when printed on color paper the text become transparent for some reason (Showing the paper color through the stroke), even though the text was made white and the PDF document shows white text
Here are my steps:
1.Create Design
2.Save as..
3.Save as type - Photoshop PDF
4.[] As a copy, unchecked
5.[Check] Layers, Checked
6.OK
7.General Settings -
Adobe PDF Preset: [High Quality Print]
Standard: None
Compatability: Acrobat 9/10 (PDF 1.7+)
Preserve Photoshop Editing Capabilities, Checked
Embed page Thumbnails, Unchecked
Optimize for fast web preview, Checked
View PDF after saving, Unchecked
8.Compression -
Compression: None
The rest of the settings are default.
9.Open PDF from file
10.Print with default settings
11. Look at my butchered design in print
12.Continued Frustration
So for some reason its like Acrobat is 'Ignoring' the white in my design? I'm so confused and I've been at this for hours, going through forum post after forum post and it seems like i'm doing everything correctly but I'm not getting anywhere with it.
I hope I added all necessary information, this is my first time posting here.
Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? Would someone mind looking at the file? any help would be very much appreciated.
Note:Also I inverted the entire design making it all black instead of all white. followed same exact steps as above, and it printed perfectly. My confusion/frustration continues.

You wrote: . . . also when printed on color paper the text become transparent for some reason (Showing the paper color through the stroke), even though the text was made white and the PDF document shows white text.
You can't print white using an inkjet or laser printer because there isn't white ink or toner in your printer.
The white needed to come from your paper which should be white.
All printers and presses use CMYK inks or toner.
What is the definition of White? C=0, M=0, Y = 0, K=0 so not a single droplet of any ink is being placed on the paper in any area that is supposed to be white..
Of course the color of the paper will show in areas where there is no ink.
When you see something white that is printed on a dark paper it using a special spot color Opaque White on a offset press..
(there is a single inket model from Epson that can print an ink that appears to be white. The model is $7,000 by the way. the [white] ink is $350, all the other inks are only $90)
From the Epson website:
Epson UltraChrome HDR White Ink introduces an all-new Organic Hollow Resin Particle Technology, which forces light to randomly scatter, producing the illusion of seeing the color white.
Notice that even Epson only claims it produces the illusion of white.
The only way around this issue is to print on White paper and print the "color of the paper" everywhere else on the paper that doesn't have your design elements.

You'll have to do two things.. Elaborate on exactly what you mean by a white screen appears. What is turning white? Are you generating a SWF from captivate of a screen capture session, then trying to load that SWF with a wrapper and when you do so it turns white? (In that scenario, if Captivate was looking for external assets it can't find, that'd be why). Please include more details on that.
Second, code of this size pasted into the forum really doesn't help. You'll need to do the work to isolate exactly what part of the code you're seeing this white box appear. Run it in a debugger line by line until you witnesss it turn white and only share that small portion of code. And if you do choose to share a ton of code, please use a site like pastebin.com which will retain formatting and color coding, making it much easier to read, and then share that pastebin link.

Laserjet 500 color consuming color toner printing black and white text

How can I prevent the consumption of color toner when printing black/white text documents (pdf in Adobe Acrobat)???
I just finished printing about 2200 2-sided pages in Adobe Acrobat pdf files, all black/white text, on my 500dn. The color toner appears to have been consumed as I am getting signals that my yellow and magenta are below 10%. They were over 40% when I started the project.

Preview Printing Negative Images - White text and lines on black background

Desperate for help here. After upgrading to Tiger, I have more instances when Preview displays a PDF correctly but prints certain pages with images, such as graphs and technical figures, as negatives, that is, white text and line art on a black background. Is there any way I can fix this? Any advice would be most appreciated.

I was trying to scan from a Lexmark X5250 into Preview so that I could fax a signed document to a company.
When I chose "To be faxed", with Preview TIFF program under 10.4.6 (combo) (PPC), the document appeares in Preview as a white-on-black (negative) in Preview's open window.
A work-around seems to be that one selects "To be printed", then prints from Preview, then selects (in the lower-left corner drop-down-menu) "Fax PDF". (Unfortunately, the modem still won't hang-up properly -- is this because of my ADSL filter on the fax phone-line? ).

Black background with white text?

Just installed the trial and am trying to figure out how to get ALL the windows to be black with white text. In prefs I can set the main viewer and filmstrip to black but all others remain gray. I've seen all kinds of screenshots fro Apple so I know it can be done. I did check through the PDF help but didn't see anything there (unless I'm just missing it). TIA.

Hi cbrew,
There are a few options that may be considered here, so I will give brief details of the ones I am thinking could help.
The OS itself may have options that help, and you may as you have tried select to use chosen settings but these simple solutions are often unsatisfactory.
I note [[Accessibility#w_using-a-high-contrast-theme]]#w_using-a-high-contrast-theme says:
Using a High Contrast Theme
Firefox automatically detects if you are using a High Contrast theme and displays everything in your high contrast color scheme. This overrides all other other browser or web page settings, and it affects the Firefox interface itself (all menus, windows, and dialog boxes) and the content of any web page you visit.
That may well be worthwhile trying as an alternative to simply changing font size and colour.
THIS MAYBE THE BEST IDEA<br/>
'''There is a popular add on called No Squint, it takes quite a bit of setting up to work properly but it is very powerful. '''

* read also support note https://urandom.ca/nosquint/
Additionally it is possible to change settings that includes the Firefox User Interface, it is fiddly, and will probably only be worthwhile if using No Squint. It involves setting the preference ''layout.css.devPixelsPerPx''

PDFs printing with black background and white text.

For some reason some of our PDF's have been printing with black backgrounds and white text, even though they appear to be normal on the screen before they are printed. I haven't been able to confirm 100% yet but it appears to only be happening with pdfs that were created from scanned documents.
Can somebody please offer me some suggestions.

Absolutely agree with the original poster. I find white text on black background so very very difficult (I changed from using Tweetbot on iOS to Tweetlogix for this very reason) and it physically hurts my eyes to try to read it. I can just about manage with Spotify using white text on a black background on the large screen of my MacBook Pro - and I do mean "just" - but for the smaller screen of my iPhone 5 it is just impossible. Even with a retina screen such as that on the iPhone 5S there is a strange ghosting effect and it gives me a headache to look at it for too long.
This may be something to do with age! I suspect most app developers are youngsters with almost perfect eyesight, but for those of us whose eyesight is less than perfect, this white text on black background really is so very difficult.
I know there is a workaround in setting the iPhone to invert ALL colours (under Accessibility in Settings) but it's a real pain to have to keep altering this setting every time I want to open or close Spotify, and it doesn't look right anyway. iOS7 is supposed to be a light, bright, easy to read OS - sadly this new Spotify app is the opposite of that.
Please would Spotify consider adding a simple light or dark theme option, so that those of us who want it can have our much easier to read light background back again, with grey or black text? It would be a great help to those of us who have eyesight problems.
If not, I may have to cancel my Spotify Premium account and move to Deezer instead, as I mainly use Spotify when out and about in the car, so am using the iOS app a lot.
Thank you for considering this plea!

Text knockout CS4 - white text on black urgent

I am having problems with some white text (converted to paths) which is placed on a black background.. When viewing the pdf in Illustrator (CS4), the text shows up fine. When viewing in Acrobat (which the printers will print from), the white text has disappeared. This only applies to some of the text the rest is fine. I need to set the white text not to overprint, but in the attributes box it isnt giving me the option to uncheck 'overprint'. Its grayed out. Where can I do this?
many thanks!

I don't think that's case, Peter. It looks the OP violated Dov Isaacs' first rule of PDF: Thou shalt not utilize Illustrator as a general purpose PDF editor.
The text, if I'm right was converted in ID.
If I'm wrong...well, nevermind.

Arranging white text on a black background

I'm having problems in Illustrator CC being able to have white text be on top of a black shape. I've select the black shape and arranged it for it to be in the back. However, it still appears as the top of my white text.
Thanks for any help - I'm an older user of Illustrator - I remember when Illustrator 5.0 came out - but can't seem to do the simple old tricks like this in the new version.

When you mention black and white and simple tricks, combining pop into my mind. I believe the shortcut is ctrl-7 or cmd-7.

White text appears gray on TV
