Hi,
I rather suspect that the selectable background you mention is actually
the
background colour of the new image's canvas.
The complainers are talking about the whiteness of the screen behind, or
surrounding, the images.
I suspect that they have their screens set to their native colour balance
and brightness, which is way too bright for photographic editing.
