Hello,

Sorry typo: How can you make black background white?

My fisheye background always black. How can you change black background to white? Photo shop...how can you do it?

There are several ways to do that, here is one:

1. use the marquee tool (M-key - if the ellipse is not shown click LONGER on the button to get a selection of various options)
   
2. draw a circle and hold the shift key to get a circle rather than an ellipse (additionally click the Alt-key to draw it from the center outwards)
   
3. move the circle around to place it exactly where you want it to be (if you want to resize it, choose select - transform selection)
4. optional step: if you don´t want the edge to be sharp, choose: select - modify - feather
5. now you have to inverse the selection: select - inverse
6. finally use the paint bucket tool and paint the outer part of the selection white

If you are used to working with layer masks, there is a better one. But this one is probably the easiest to understand for beginners.
