How to lighten or remove the black images or layers in Photoshop CS5?

For several months, trying to find the best ways to reduce the excessive amount of toner that is required to print several pdf documents in black and white or in grayscale.  I use Leanprint, but can still pages of dark and black images.

Adobe Acrobat X positions say to use Photoshop to remove black graphics and/or reduce the darkness of the images.  However, they provide no information on what to do in Photoshop.  I'm not a fool, but I know very little about Photoshop other than that, there are probably several ways to achieve this, depending on the circumstances.  I'm afraid of having to spend more hours trying to figure out which is the best option to use in each specific situation.

It is curious that it has been so difficult to find the information needed, as many other people would like this information as well.

I hope someone can advise me or just tell me some directions and resources as starting points.   Even knowing the best conditions of search to find this information might be useful.

Thank you for any assistance.

Cathy

OK, I think I was assuming you want to create a pdf with a light images to print later version.

When you place a pdf file in photoshop, it is rendered, therefore, the whole file/page would be editable as you would any other image.

Take a look at adjustment layers. You will find the one that is just for the brightness/contrast. It'll do what you want and you affect all layers below, unless you hold on to the next layer.

You can find the adjustment in the menu layers layers, and it is also located at the bottom of the layers panel. Just hover over each icon and it will tell you what they mean. Click the icon to display a menu of all the adjustment layer commands that are available.

  • How could I possibly remove the default image in the image control?

    I use the image control and a bit of code to create a zoom on a picture effect. Everything works fine however I get a picture of labview when the Vi is loaded for the first time. I'm trying to get a blank area instead cause it looks like not really tidy!

    I have attached a picture and my code.

    Thanks for your help

    The image is configured to be the default value of "Photo". In other words: you must get rid of the default value. You can do this either by:

    (a) 'Image' of delete and recreate. Disadvantage: You have to re-create all the nodes property associated with this control.

    (b) load an image empty and select "data operations > use current default value.

    hope this helps,

    Hi albertreeder,

    Greetings!

    It will be helpful if you could post the image and let us know if you try to remove blacks or black background of the image. You can try the following steps.

    • Select your layer.
    • Choose layer > layer Style > blending Options. (from the menu bar)

    • . If you want to hide a black background, drag the slider to highest point.

    There are other methods too.

    • Select > color range.  Use the eyedropper tool to select the black of your image, bring the Blur slider to zero - which allows to select only the black pixels. Then, you can fill these pixels with a different color. Refer to select ranges of colors in Photoshop

    Kind regards

  • How to remove the black bars after image rotation

    I am very new to the use of first pro. I took a video with my smartphone like the contents of a project.  The original size is 1280 wide and 720high.  I imported the video and needed to rotate 90 degrees.   Instead of the scale I need tall. I imported and then under effects control - motion - rotation to rotate how I wanted.

    But now on the screen has black bars on the sides from the turn, and when I export the video basic settings is grayed out so I can't change it. It is game/set at 1280 x 720 with black bars.

    How can I remove the black side bars in first pro to fit the dimensions of the video shot recently?

    Great! I'm glad to hear it. Thank you for the presentation of reports. If you don't mind, please mark my answer as "Correct".

    The reason for which the clips were 56% was so that they would hold the frame of landscape size. Once they were they belonged, they were happy to 100%.

    Hi templar_39,

    DM (Message Delivery) file types are not Windows files, they can be generated by a third-party program.

    This particular file type is often associated with audio data and can be hosted on some cell phones to be used as ringtones or multimedia clips. To my knowledge, these files can be generated by your mobile phone.

    Note: you can go ahead and remove these files only if you notice that the files do not contain any important information.

    If this happens without connect you all devices (like mobile PHONES), this may be a virus or malware activity. You can run a virus scan to get rid of them
