Dynamic Color Swatch

We would like to add Dynamic Color Swatch. does anybody know the easier way to do it?
Our Product example: http://www.whitneyeve.com/bottoms/skinny-sweats
Thank you.

You need to explain more what you are trying to achieve. You mean when you change the attribute selection it changes the colour image rather then what looks to be the grouping dropdown you setup?
You need a good level of javascript knowledge to code that functionality in BC. Would you be able to do that?

  • Does CS5 Improve Typography and Color Swatches?

    Hi, we are web developers creating mostly dynamic CMS based websites. We have been using Illustrator for designing our layout comps to send to the client for approval and drive the template design process. We only generate the actual graphics needed for the site from these files, we don't try to convert our comps into actual code (we just match the look with our templates using PHP & CSS).
    But Illustrator has always been one of our most frustrating programs to use. It just has a tendency to be buggy (you have to nudge your slices down 1 pixel to export properly), or just plain counter-intuitive. And we have been using it for MANY years (we also do print and environmental graphics).
    But when I've experimented with Fireworks to see if it would be a better solution (it SHOULD be), there were always a couple glaring features missing that would make it hard to use. The last one I tried was a demo of CS4.
    TYPOGRAPHY
    - Does Fireworks finally use the same type engine as Illustrator and Indesign?
    - Does it support styles so you can apply certain type styling, say to headlines, and have them be globally editable?
    It's such a drag to have to manually update the text formatting in 20 different places when you want to try a larger font size or something for your headings. We then use these styles as a basis for our main CSS styles.
    COLOR
    - Does Fireworks finally use the color swatches feature of Illustrator and InDesign?
    - Can you create global swatches with (heaven forbid) some sort of name that makes sense (like the hex/rgb value) and have all objects with those colors be updatable by editing the swatch?
    I can't understand how people could actually use those tiny little swatches with no indication of what actual color each was.
    THANKS! If these two areas have been addressed, Fireworks might actually be a viable option for creating comps over Illustrator as it should be.

    Fireworks has been using the same Text Engine as Illustrator since CS4.
    It doesn't create styles the same way one would with MSWord or probably Indesign. It's a graphics app primarily. That said, you can create graphic styles which - when using the redefine styles tool -  you can update any text in the same page that has the same style applied.
    Fireworks now supports ASE files. They can be imported as a swatch set and you can also generate ASE files from Fireworks.
    FW has had the ability to find and replace color values in text and vectors for many versions, but not from the Swatch panel. You cannot name individual swatches in the Swatches panel, but in the color fill panel you can see the hex value of a selected object and even copy the value to the clipboard.

  • Dynamically color to each column in Cross-tab report

    Hello All,
    I am a newbie in Crystal report,from last few weeks, i am working on cross tab crystal report.i have a requirement to show color dynamically for each column.i am adding an attachment how i want it. i tried dynamic coloring using object field formula but it is showing red color to all data.i want red color data when in 2nd  cross tab report data is beyond upper or lower limit in first cross tab table. it will be very helpful if somebody will give me any clue on this.... i read so many articles now it seem like impossible for me..:(
    i am using visual studio 2010 and sap crystal report version 13.0.0.99 for visual studio 2010.

    Hello Manish,
    I have attached a sample report that does this. You will need to remove the .txt extension from the attached file to open it as an .rpt file.
    Please right click on one of the value fields of the first cross tab in the report > Format Field > Common > Suppress if Duplicated conditional formula.
    The nested formula is as follows;
    numbervar array l;
    numbervar array u;
    numbervar x:=CurrentColumnIndex;
    if GridRowColumnValue ('@limit') = 'lower limit' then
    (redim preserve l[x];
    l[x]:= tonumber(CurrentFieldValue))
    else if GridRowColumnValue ('@limit') = 'upper limit' then
    (redim preserve u[x];
    u[x]:= tonumber(CurrentFieldValue));
    false
    So it assigns each lower and upper limit value for each client (in the sample it is country) to an array using the cross tabs column index to index the array and it ends in False as we don't actually want it to suppress if duplicated. This nested formula is just used to generate the arrays of upper and lower values.
    In the second cross tab if you again right click on one of the value fields > Format Field > Font > Color you will see the following conditional formula;
    numbervar array l;
    numbervar array u;
    numbervar x;
    if not(tonumber(CurrentFieldValue) in l[CurrentColumnIndex] to u[CurrentColumnIndex]) then
    crred
    else
    crblack
    So this compaes the current field value to range generated by the 2 arrays and assigns a color based on whether or not it is in the range.
    Regards,
    Graham

  • Color Swatch Palette is Stuck

    I am a designer working for a printer. We have a customer who is trying to add a new color to her CS4 document. She is selecting New Color Swatch - Spot - Pantone Solid Coated but is getting Process Coated DS colors -- the palette is stuck. Any suggestions? When she sent the document to me I didn't have any problems with the swatch palette.
    Thanks for any help.

    from the help files:
    Restore all preferences and default settings
    When InDesign is behaving erratically, deleting preferences (also referred to as “trashing preferences” or “removing preferences”) often solves the problem.
    Do one of the following:
    (Windows) Start InDesign, and then press Shift+Ctrl+Alt. Click Yes when asked if you want to delete preference files.
    (Mac OS) While pressing Shift+Option+Command+Control, start InDesign. Click Yes when asked if you want to delete preference files.

  • Color Swatch changes when opened in Photoshop CC 2014

    I'm not sure if anyone else has encountered this, here is the scenario:
    I create a CMYK color swatch in Kuler and save the swatch, download it as a .ase file, and then load the swatch in Photoshop CC 2014. 
    When the swatch is loaded all of the colors are lighter than the colors in my kuler swatch.
    The below image shows the top kuler swatch, and the colors that were imported once loaded in Photoshop.
    TOP: screenshot of my kuler swatch from the kuler website
    BOTTOM: screenshot of the colors from my swatch once imported into Photoshop CC 2014
    Does anyone know why this is happening and how it can be fixed?
    Thanks!

    That's because color management is different in Kuler and PS.  The good news is that Kuler Panel is now available for PS 2014 at  https://creative.adobe.com/addons/products/2507
    You can directly set active color from this panel or include the whole theme into the swatches panel without change in appearance.

  • Strange color swatch behavior in InDesign CS4

    I coedit a quarterly online newsletter using InDesign CS4 on my two Macs, a PowerBook and a Mac Book Pro. My coeditor uses InDesign CS4 on her PC.
    Lately something strange has started happening. We use a standard text color for hyperlinks (R=60 G=77 B=157). Two weeks ago, every time I applied the color swatch to the text, it took on a "wooly," three-dimensional look. I was using my PowerBook and swapped over to my Mac Book Pro, and all was well.
    In the next draft of the newsletter, on my Mac Book Pro I'm getting the same result as I did on my PowerBook. I've attached the draft in PDF format so you can see what I'm talking about; the effect is on page ten.
    I've tried fiddling with both the Swatches and Character panels to get rid of this effect, but so far nothing is working.
    Any suggestions?
    Buzz Haughton

    Hi Buzz,
    Unfortunately, uploading PDFs or anything else takes a good measure of time to pass through -- long enough to post a follow-up with an inline image, with this icon in the toolbar at the top of the reply box:
    Since you mention it's just the 'hyperlink' text, I don't think it's an unintentionally applied shadow effect, as that can't be done inline. And it's visible in the exported PDF as well, ruling out InDesign view quality settings.
    Perhaps there is something near the text frame that forces the text to be rasterized. Can you check with a Select All?
    I forgot: there's also a View Transparency Effects, or something to that effect. It's in the same panel as Separation Preview.

  • Color swatch vs. pattern swatch

    Whenever I try to create a new CMYK color swatch it automatically opens pattern swatch name panel. Why won't it let me create a color swatch?

    Hi Larry,
    Thanks for responding. I just started using Illustrator CC and I couldn't make a new swatch. When I dragged color blocks from the paste board to the color panel it would show up in the patterned swatches. I was trying to update some old files so instead I just opened new files and started over. It's working now but it would be easier to use the already formatted CS6 files. Hmmmmm

  • [JS] How do you set change GREP preferences to a custom color swatch?

    Hi All
    I am having difficulty with setting the 'changeGrepPreferences' to a specific color swatch in an InDesign CS3 document.
    The code below is meant to search within text styled with the Character Style "Hyperlink" and change any spaces (which import from Word as black text, i.e. have a black underscore) to the font color of the Character Style (which is a spot color that I've named 'Hyperlinks grey'). I think I have cracked it except for the changeGrepPreferences line; but I'll let the experts be the judge of that.
    app.findGrepPreferences = null;
    app.changeGrepPreferences = null;
    app.findGrepPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle = 'Hyperlink';
    app.findGrepPreferences.fillColor = 'Black';
    app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = ' ';
    app.changeGrepPreferences.fillColor = app.activeDocument.swatches.itemByName('Hyperlinks grey');
    app.changeGrepPreferences.changeTo = '$0';
    app.activeDocument.changeGrep();
    Any help will be greatly received.
    Simon

    Hi Ole
    Thanks for the quick response. Your workaround works well up to a point. However, because the color 'Hyperlinks grey' already exists in the document I'm working on, when you add a new swatch it creates 'Hyperlinks grey 2'. I really need the text to be colored with the original color: in our production workflow we use a system called Odystar to create a Web and a Print PDF. For a print PDF, Odystar first looks for text in the spot color 'Hyperlinks grey' and turns it to black and removes the underscore. It means that hyperlinks look like hyperlinks for a Web PDF, but not for a print PDF.
    Also, the line of code that removes the created color only works if no replacements were made. When replacements have been made Hyperlinks grey 2 stays in the swatch. And if you ran the script again in which a replacement was made, it would make Hyperlinks grey 3 etc etc.
    So... do you have any further tricks up your sleeve?
    Thanks again for you help so far.
    With kind regards
    Simon

  • Color Swatches in Toolbar for Fill and Stroke are not working properly.

    The color swatches in toolbar for fill and stroke are not functioning as they should.  When I select an object on the artboard, the swatches display fine in the toolbar for what they should be.  However, when I double-click on those swatches from within the toolbar to modify the color, the color which comes up is #000000 instead of the actual color it should be. 
    I am using 16.2.1 (cloud) for Mac OS 10.8.2
    I've submitted a bug report, but want to know if anyone else has had this issue and what they did to resolve the issue.
    Also, the eyedropper tool is buggy and occasionally places the #000000 into an object instead of the characteristics the eyedropper is selecting.  I don't have any hidden layers or weird groupings, it just randomly decides when it is going to work or not.
    I've never had these issues on previous versions of illustrator and have been proficient in all versions since 2007.

    Double click the eyedropper, and turn on appearance, is off by default.
    For your #000000 color problem that also likely is related to appearance setting. You may have for example have some with #000000 at the character level, and another color at the type level.

  • Illustrator CS4 New Color Swatches Keep Shifting Values

    Hi.  I really need some help.  I created 8 major panel designs for my first-ever tee shirts.  For this project, I added up to 70+ colors to my existing standard CMYK swatch library, by naming them and marking them for global.  Just to be on the safe side, I also made up my own directory in a separate document by making squares with their names next to them.  I transferred these to each new document I created.  I did all of this in Illustrator 10.
    I finally got to upgrade several months ago to the Design Suite CS4 -  Hooray!  No problem in converting my files.  I am having my tees printed in the direct-digital-to-fabric method.  My printer said that I could change all my CMYK colors to RGB for a more vibrant rendering.  And so I went in to each of my colors and manually changed them to RGB.  I also changed my document format to RGB.
    Several weeks ago, my eye registered that my favorite red didn't seem as red any more.  And so it wasn't!  I checked my swatch, and it was way off my original settings.  So I changed them.  The change didn't keep.  It turns out that almost all of my colors were off their original CMYK settings!
    So I started over again, by taking each color, and in most cases, making up a new color swatch with a slightly revised name.  I made sure the colors reflected accurately both the CMYK and the RGB percentages.  I DID NOT want to select as a spot color.  Therefore, I kept the "Process" format, but selected RGB.  I also deleted the old color swatch.
    But the problem was still there -- within a span of several minutes, my "Red" changed both in the CMYK and RGB percentages,  I checked 15 other colors I had just created, and their percentages were off also.
    Needless to say, it is very important to me that my colors hold their value.
    I thank you in advance for considering my challenge.

    Kelly,
    And so I went in to each of my colors and manually changed them to RGB.  I also changed my document format to RGB.
    Pick (almost) any colour in a document with CMYK Color Mode, copy into a document with RGB Color Mode, and see a change.
    In other words: if you want to keep the colours, keep the colour mode; if you want to change the colour mode, recreate the colours, and expect some differences.
    My printer said that I could change all my CMYK colors to RGB for a more vibrant rendering.
    Maybe your printer needs a vibrant rendering, with a boot.
    If the meaning was that the RGB colour gamut is larger, and therefore capable of more, and more vibrant, colours, which is true, that is what should have been said. It would imply creating new, fresh colours.

  • Color swatch ONLY shows gray shades on gradient layer...?

    My color swatch seems to be defaulting to only shades of gray on a gradient layer, and I simply cannot figure out how to get it to change to the color I have selected.  After I create a new gradient fill layer, when I have the layer selected in the list of layers on the right side of the screen, the color swatches show ONLY gray.  If I click on the swatch, it brings up the color picker, but no matter what color I select, the swatch shows shades of gray.  If I select the background layer, it goes back to showing my color.
    There is probably a simple explanation to this problem but I have been searching Google for literally hours without finding an answer.  Other similar questions I have found have the response of "Go to Image, Mode, and make sure RGB is selected."  Mine is already set to RGB, so that's not the issue.
    How do I change the colors of a gradient fill layer, and why does my color swatch show only gray shades when I have the gradient fill layer selected, even though clicking the swatch brings up the color picker?

    To change/edit the gradient color(s), double click on the Gradient Fill thumbnail in the layers panel
    Then in the Gradient Fill dialog, click just to the right of the word gradient to edit the colors
    In the gradient editor, click on one of the color stops at the bottom of the gradient bar and click on Color to change the color of that stop
    There is a lot more to the gradient editor than room to explain on the forum, so you might check out the following to learn more

    The reason your color keeps showing as grayscale, is the layer mask is always active with adjustments layers in photoshop elements and layer masks are grayscale

  • How to set dynamic color , based on xml element

    Hi,
    We have a requirement, where based on certain conditions, a cell will be shown in a specific color. We would like the coloir to be based on an XML element. The xml element will have values like '#FF00FF' etc..
    We tried using xsl attribute with the following syntax ,
    <xsl:attribute xdofo:ctx="block"name="color"><?stdcolor?></xsl:attribute><?end if?>
    where stdcolor is the xml element, but when we use this , this is giving a syntax error.
    Let us know, if this is possible or is there any other alternate way to do this.

  • Color swatch strange behavior

    Hi,
    I'm working on a AE 5.5 project and try to use the color swatch panel to put in a color RGB R:5 , G: 16 , B: 103 to create a blue color.
    But what ever I try at the bottom of the panel appears a different color in HEX DEC and that's the color that stay's as the swatch color.
    Must be a small adjustment in the preferences probably, but how do I get this panel working as in all  other Adobe programs?!
    What do I do wrong?!
    Thanks David

    Thanks for that, but I don't think that's the problem.
    Would it be possible that the color swatch panel has a different behavior when I work in 32 bits floatingpoint?!
    Because I work on a project in 32 bits with 10bits footage.

  • Color swatch panel in PSE 10

    When I had Photoshop Elements 7 in the past  I could stretch the color swatch up, down and  sideways.  But after installing PSE 10, I discovered I could only pull and push the color swatch up and down - but not sideways.  I'm kind of  bummed about it and wonder if there is some way I can still stretch it sideways like I had in the past?   Any idea? 
    Thanks so much.

    No, vertical adjustments are the only ones.
