White background

I make images for web using photoshop frequently - invariably for use
against a white background. Is there any easy way to preview the image
against a white background with no border? At present, the work area
(containing the image), when maximised, is displayed with a border and
the surrounding space is grey. can this be changed/is there a mode in
photoshop for this kind of thing?

That is EXTREMELY HANDY. I just tried it and no, it doesn't get rid of
the black border, nor does it work in "full screen mode," only in "full
screen mode with menu bar." Still, that's a lot closer to what the OP
wanted without going through a lot of extra rigamarole.
Now if you could just turn off the "artboard boundary" line, you'd be
lost in a sea of white with your little graphic.

Try this:
Changing the Matte Color. You can change the neutral gray background color
that surrounds your image when you're in full-screen mode or when you
expand the document window larger than the image itself. Just pick a
foreground color, and then Shift-click on the background with the Paint
Bucket tool (it's in the Gradient tool's popout menu). It's a good way to
preview how an image will look if you're going to place it on a colored
background.

Hope that solves your problem. The PC I'm usinmg at the moment doesn't have
Photoshop, so I cant tell you if it gets rid of the black border that
appears when the background is grey.

Re: White background

I think I see what you're asking. No, I don't think Photoshop has a
function for viewing the image on a borderless white field
(unfortunately; I can see how something like that could be handy).
Are you on a Mac or PC? On a Mac, you could write an Applescript (which
you could trigger via keyboard command using Quicksilver, for example),
that would Select All, Copy Merged, create a new document the size
of your monitor resolution, Paste, and switch to fullscreen view. That's
hackish huh?

Re: White background

What about just using a transparent background instead of white? that way it
doesn't matter what colour the background is.
