Change Black to white

I think I can acomplish this with the gradient tool but it isn't cooperating. Basically, I've got a simple design of two men standing against a wall, and they are both traced in black. I am looking to flip flop the colors by making the background black and the traced men to be white vice versa. What is the best technique here?
Thanks,
Gianni

Gianni,
What is the best technique here?
The possible techniques, and the best one if any, depends on the actual artwork and the version.
Presuming vector artwork, one way could be to select everything and use Filter/Effect>Colors>Invert Colors.

  • Is there a script to change black and white graphics to a color?

    I have a folder of black and white graphics.  I want to change them all to a color quickly without having to open each one and change the color, preferably in a new folder.   Is this possible?

    Thanks Jim, but my problem is the order of events.
    Your answer confirms me that it's not possible to have events ordered alphabetically at the moment.

  • Changing black to white?

    I want to change all of the black in an image to white, but I have no idea how to do it. Any ideas?

    That is difficult in Aperture. You can easily change all pixels with a certain hue to a different hue in the "Color" adjustment, but black and white are unsaturated colors without a hue. So you have to change the RGB curve in the "Curves" adjustment. This way you can map all black pixels to white pixels.
    Add a "Curves" adjustment.
    Select RGB.
    Add many new control points by command-clicking along the diagonal line.
    Now drag the leftmost point of the curve upward from 0.0 to 1.0 to change the luminosity value from black to white.
    You will notice, that the curve will wiggle away from the diagonal to compensate the increase in luminosity. Try to drag all control points but the leftmost back to the diagonal. It will take a lot of patience.
    It will be easier, if you brush this adjustment in to the shadow regions of the image. This way it will only change the darker parts of the image.
    This kind of adjustment is easier done in Photoshop or similar external editors, where you can select regions of an image to replace the contents.

  • Edit view changes black and white photos to "negative" effec

    I'm having a strange problem with certain black and white photos. In thumbnails, they look fine. But when I view them in Edit mode, or double click one to see the detail, it switches over so that it looks like a negative.
    Anyone have any idea what the cause of this is, and how to fix it?
    Thanks much,
    S

    You can't take black and white photos with a digital camera. They all have an RGB sensor, so they all shoot full colour. What happens is that your camera tags the photo with a label > show me in B%W. iPhoto doesn't know about this label, so it shows you the image as it is.
    Going forward, you'll probably be able to render better versions of B&W on your computer than with your camera. You'll have more control.

  • Photoshop Script  Black and White Raster to Vector

    I do not have AI Adobe for I do not want to spend the money and have to learn an other complex Adobe application. I'm no artist either.  However at rimes I wanted  to have AI live trace feature to change black and white line drawing into vector graphics. AI creates EPS files with embedded vectors. And can export the vector to Photoshop.  Though Photoshop opens EPS as raster layers I find that EPS file created from tracing black and white lines and artwork with programs like potrace that use curves to create black vector shapes. That when these are opened in Photoshop as Black layer with transparency. When these layers transparency are loaded as a selection and the selections converted to path. I find the path are extremely good.
    Potrace is a cross platform open source program packages available for many operating systems. Windows (32 bit) and (64 bit), Mac OS X (Intel), Mac OS X (universal),Linux (32 bit) and (64 bit), Linux (Alpha), Linux (Sparc64), Sun Solaris (Sparc), Sun Solaris (i386), Sun Solaris (x86_64), FreeBSD (i386), NetBSD (i386), OpenBSD (i386), AIX and AROS (i386). Potrace is a command line command. So it can be use started with options and passed a file from bat files and scripts. Potrace requires No instillation. All the needed potrace requited files just need to be place into a folder and potrace run from that folder as the current directory.
    So a created a Photoshop script that more or less uses potrace like a Photoshop Plug. The script define a custom shape for the current active document using potrace and add a new shape layer using the new defined custom shape as the top layer. The script also toggle off the other visible layers so you just see the shape layer.  You can use alt click on the shape layer visibility icon to toggle the other layer visibility so you can see how well it matches the document.
    I'm a windows user so the Photoshop script I wrote though in javascript will most likely only run on a windows platform because of my use of windows features its command line start command and file system conventions. I'm quite sure a Mac variant could created. Here is screen capture showing how well the defile shape  matches up and a link to the script. You would need to download potrace to use it and fix the vars in the script that point to potrace. http://www.mouseprints.net/old/dpr/potrace.jsx

  • Lightroom changes color photos to black and white error

    When I import NEF files into LR, they initially display as Colour, then during the render process, LR changes them to black and white. It has never down this in the past, is there a reson why LR is doing this now? The photos are colour (as shown in Capture NX and Windows explorer), and during importing, I selected 'None' for the develop setting. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? Thank You :-)
    Particulars: Lightroom 2, Files: NEF (Nikon D300),OS: Windows XP Pro

    Thanks Jao, much appreciated...I must of changed the develop setting...now that I recall, I did go into the Develop->Set Default Settings recently. The reset resolved the issue.
    Thank You...CK

  • I have trouble reading in Black and White. changing the background color for all

    I have trouble reading in Black and White. On my PC I can change the background  color (and I am not just talking about for a word or pages document) but for eveything so anything that was a white background I can put in what ever color I like but it still prints in Black and white.. I can't see how to do this on the Macbook air. on my PC I do this in display. Sort of putting colored film over the screen I dont know what to do. Can anyone help?

    Hello Floridamacbookpro,
    You may be interested in the 'invert colors' Accessibility feature. This can be invoked by pressing the Control, Option, Command, and 8 keys on your keyboard. This only affects your display, and does not have any affect on printed items.
    Mac OS X displays inverted image colors (white on black, reverse type)

  • Animated gif changes to black and white when exporting

    A student created an animated gif of a solar system for class. When he tries to export it as an animated web gif, it changes everything to grayscale.

    If you go to File>Image Preview, there's a drop down menu called "palette". This is probably set to black and white or greyscale. Change it to exact or adaptive.

  • How do I change the font color in the email app so it's always black on white?

    I would like the phone to always have good contrast between the font and the background.  Right now it's set so major items are black, but lesser items are gray (just like this website!!).  This is difficult to read.  How can I set it so they are all black on white?  There are lots of older users whose eyes are not as able to distinguish small print with poor contrast as younger folks can.

    I've always seen email have black font on a white background unless someone sends something in HTML or something colored. I believe that would depend on the sender, not the receiver. With the exception maybe of the date of the mail.
    I'm not aware of any other settings that you could change for that.
