JPG white background problem

May 31, 2016

Hello, when I import a JPG file with a white background, Storyline add a yellow background instead (preview and publish)! In Photoshop the background is white, RGB mode... In Storyline, image quality 100%.

I took a picture with my iphone:) 

Any ideas?

Hi Mat! 

Thanks for sharing the image and the .story file. I cannot re-create the issue you are reporting, so it must be limited to your cable as you indicated. My second monitor does not demonstrate the issue either. 

I will admit I'm not sure about the differences in the cables though. 

Is the expectation that all of your learners will be viewing your course on a second monitor?

Hi,

I've run into the same problem. I have a JPG with a white (#FFFFFF) background, but after publishing and viewing in a browser - the white becomes off-white (#FEFEFE) which looks ugly against the white course background.

A fix for this issue from Articulate would be ideal. But in the meantime, a (silly) workaround I've figured out is:

• Right-click the image
• Click "Format Picture"
• Select the "Picture" section
• Change the Transparency from 0% to 1%.

The colours of your image will be affected slightly (not to a noticeable degree) but the off-white background issue will no longer occur.

Hello Stu and welcome to E-Learning Heroes! Sorry to hear that you ran into an issue with this as well.

Sorry to hear that you ran into an issue with this as well. I'm not seeing where Mat submitted a case above, so I do not have an update to provide on this issue since the last postings here. Glad to hear that you were able to find a way around it and if you do wish for our team to take a look, I'd advise sharing your file here.
