Hi can I set the background color (white) to black for the upright transformations?

Correct answer Aleke

Are you referring to the checkered pattern showing up in your photo? If so, that pattern isn’t actually white—it’s just a visual indicator for transparency. When you export the image as a JPG (or another format that doesn’t support transparency), it will automatically fill that area with white.

If you’d like to keep the transparent background, try exporting as a PNG. Then, you can open it in Photoshop and add a solid background color of your choice.

Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks!

Thank you @Aleke. It's what I'm forced to do, but it definitively slowers the workflow (massive document repro). The possibility to user-define a background color would be expected in a professional product like LrC...
