How to change the color of a scanned document writing and make the background transparent

I'm a newbie using Photoshop elements 11 and tempting - without success so far - to edit a document, I have scanned so I can upload it to a custom fabric printing service. I already scanned a handwritten recipe in color .tif format (which seems black and white, because the original is written black on white background). I also resized the image of 14 "x 23". I need help is:

1. I want to change the color from black to red writing (specifically in the hexadecimal code cd0303).

"2. I also want to add a border of 2" wide solid color in the same red around the 14"x 23" the recipe image (so the final image will be 18 "x 27".

3. I want to make the background transparent instead of white recipe and to make sure that the background remains transparent when I download the final image to .png format printing service so that only the red writing and the border will be printed on the fabric.

I would appreciate directions to do these things. For reasons I don't understand, when I created a file empty and set the color of the background transparent, then tried to make the changes I want, somewhere along the way the background changes to black.

Thank you very much!

Try this:

  1. Open your scanned document and do not forget that there is good contrast. The native scan may need help.
  2. Duplicate the background layer, then turn off the visibility of the background layer by clicking on the "eye" icon. Work on the background copy layer
  3. Download the magic wand out of the toolbox tool, tolerance set at 32 (may have to experiment with this value), uncheck the "contiguous"... Left-click on a substantive area white. Press DELETE on the keyboard. Press CTRL + D to get rid of the dotted moving line.
  4. Set your foreground on cd0303 color chip
  5. CTRL + left click on the thumbnail of the layer with the writing, then edit > fill selection > foreground color
  6. Press CTRL + D
  7. Go to Select >, then change stroke (outline) selection. Race position inside, fixed width of race based on
  8. Remove the background layer, and then save to the file format which preserves transparency.

    How to change the background color of the code written DW page but not the Web page...

    If you have DWCC2015, you can change to edit > Preferences > coloring Code and either choose a new theme (RecoGnEyes is the background dark code by default) or you can change it to what you want in the background field by default.

    2014 CC had no theme options, but you can change the background color in the same place.

    I think that some of the previous versions also had the option, but I don't have them on my machine to check.

  • How to change the background color of selection of the selected item in the drop-down box of choice?

    How to change the background color of selection of the selected item in the drop-down box of choice?

    By default, the selection background color like 'blue', but if I want it to be "yellow" for example, how should I do?

    Thank you

    The id is applied by (I think) the skin of the ChoiceBox class. You don't need to define.

    You must apply the css in an external style sheet. You can apply the external style sheet to any parent of the box of your choice, or on-site (the most usual way to do it).

    Example:

    import java.util.ArrayList;
    import java.util.List;
    
    import javafx.application.Application;
    import javafx.scene.Scene;
    import javafx.scene.control.ChoiceBox;
    import javafx.scene.layout.VBox;
    import javafx.stage.Stage;
    
    public class ChoiceBoxTest extends Application {
    
      @Override
      public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
        primaryStage.setTitle("Example 2");
    
        final ChoiceBox choiceBox = new ChoiceBox<>();
    
        List tempResult = new ArrayList();
        for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
          tempResult.add("Item " + i);
        }
        choiceBox.getItems().setAll(tempResult);
    
        VBox root = new VBox();
        root.getChildren().add(choiceBox);
        final Scene scene = new Scene(root, 300, 250);
        scene.getStylesheets().add("choiceBox.css");
        primaryStage.setScene(scene);
        primaryStage.show();
      }
    
      public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);
      }
    
    }
    

    choiceBox.css:

    @CHARSET "UTF-8";
    #choice-box-menu-item:focused  {
     -fx-background-color: yellow ;
    }
    #choice-box-menu-item .label {
     -fx-text-fill: black ;
    }

  • How I change the background color?

    This has been answered before, but for older versions of Pages with settings that no longer exist, and I can't seem to understand. How can I change the background color in the Pages?

    I inserted one rectangle and size for the cover page. I can't send to back, despite clicking on the button to do it, nor can I scroll with me instead of having to insert a new for each page, which would be much too tedious, even if I clicked "move with the text." What Miss me?

    Hi shockvaluecola,

    This rectangle selected, Menu > reorder > Section Masters > move object of Section Master.

    This context is displayed on each page of this Section.

    To remove the object of Section Master Menu > reorder > Section Masters > make Master objects selectable.

    Select (by clicking in the margin of page for me works), then delete.

    Kind regards
