Colour overlay on cover photo

If you take the text contrast down to zero that should remove the color from the cover photo.

Hi Ron.

I already tried that, but the output is a bright, washed out green that looks worse than the 50% - see below:

Any other suggestions?

Interesting - I am not able to replicate the theme color being added to the cover image at all.

You might want to submit a case.

In your screen capture, it looks like your image has the green color already 

The image does not have a tint of green - although it is a pale brown colour. You can see this in the background image thumbnail in the top left of the screenshot above.

I'm wondering if there is a setting somewhere that will allow me to turn off the colour overlay from the cover page background image.

Hi Ray,

Yikes! A color overlay being added to the photo on your cover page is definitely not expected after changing the accent color in Rise 360! I’m happy to get this sorted out with you!  I have a couple of follow-up questions regarding the situation so I can understand what you are experiencing a little better.

• Is this the only time you have seen the overlay or has it happened in multiple Microlearnings?
• It sounds like you added the cover page photo and then changed the accent color. Does the same thing happen if you reserve the steps?

Would you be willing to share your Microlearning with me or with our support engineers privately in a support case?

Here are the steps to share a course with me!

1. Click the three dots in the top right corner of the Microlearning on your Rise 360 content page.
2. Click "Send a copy"
3. Type "support@articulate.com" in the email field.
4. In the message field, type "This course is for John Morgan".

Thanks for reaching out and I look forward to your response!

Here's how you can do it:

1. Go to the "Design" tab in the course editor.
2. Click on "Colors" in the left-hand menu.
3. Under "Accent color," select your desired shade of green.
4. Scroll down to "Background images" and click "Upload image" or select the existing cover image.
5. Once you have selected your cover image, click on it to open the image editor.
6. In the image editor, click on the "Adjustments" tab.
7. Under "Tint," move the slider all the way to the left to remove the green color overlay.
8. Click "Save" to apply the changes to your cover image.

By following these steps, you should be able to remove the green color overlay from your cover image while keeping the green accent color in your Rise 360 course.

Hi Ray,

Thanks for sending your course! I opened a support case on your behalf where I included a request for you. You may have seen the support email that was sent. Please respond within the case if you have any questions.

I look forward to your response!

I am having the same issue. Has this issue has been resolved? If so, can you share how to correct this? Thanks!

Like Ray, I don't see most of those options. 

Hi Anne.

The issues turned out to be an image with a transparency in it - a .png image file.

If it is a .png file you are using, open it up in an image editor, and save it as a .jpg. Then use the .jpg as your cover photo. That should do the trick.

Let me know how you get on.
