Global color replace in Keynote '09

I use my own palette for my keynote presentations, using each color for a specific purpose consistently throughout. But I usually want to fine-tune these colors when I ultimately connect to the projector I'm going to present on, to compensate for both the projector's color capabilities and the room lighting. Is there a way to do this quickly, to change a color in a palette globally across the entire presentation? Or do I have to define a new color and change each diagram individually? What do you experienced keynote folks do to solve this problem? I'm a bit of a keynote newbie...

Welcome to the discussions, anthonysan.
There isn't a way within the program to do it, however it IS possible I think. I'll give you some tips to start down that path, and, if you have any questions, just post back here.
First, go to Keynote preferences and, under General Preferences, choose "Save new documents as packages". Next, create a new document (white theme), change the Master to blank, and place three rectangles on the first slide, each with an EASY to define color. (By "easy to define" I mean pick colors that you would be able to discern numerically, for example 100% red, 100% black, 100% green, etc.) Finally, double click inside each shape and add some unique text. I'm using "firstone", "secondone", "thirdone".
Now, save that document, then right-click (two-finger-click, control-click) on it's icon in the Finder. You should see an option to Show Package Contents. Select that and you should then see a few folders and some files. You're looking for index.apxl.zip. Double click that one to unzip it, then put the .zipped version in the trash (Keynote can read either just as well). Now, you should have an index.apxl file.
When you double-click the index.apxl file, you'll have to choose to open it with TextEdit, then search for your unique text "firstone".
Things get more detailed from this point, but it does lead to a potential solution. Let me know if you're following so far, and we can look at the mysteries within they Keynote file

  • Global Color Replacement throughout document

    I am trying to figure out a way to globally replace/swap one color for another within a document. My document would have multiple layers made up of solid color fills, text layers (possibly multiple colors within the copy block), and even possibly the color put into a bitmap import.
    I am looking to better a workflow process in photoshop for updating website/interactive files. Sometimes this might work for updating global font color, layer effects(stroke/drop-shadows...), color layers, etc. The color swap that i am looking for is similar to if you were to update a swatch in InDesign. It would update everything using that specific color.
    Any help figuring out how to update a file in this way would be great help and appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hey Melenium,
    Thanks for the response. I am not exactly following. I am guessing you mean to make all of the same colors the same grey value? but not sure how to add a 'gradient tint adjustment'

  • Adobe Photoshop CS5 Win 63 and 32 bit color replacement tool

    I opened a B/W jpg file, converted it to CMYK.  I have followed the directions from a few Color Replacement tool Help, etc.  I can't get it to work.  Converting Black to a lighter color, shows up very dark when it works, which is sporadic.  Very frustrating.  Open JPG file, convert to CMYK.  Select CRT, click Foreground color to a light color, select the black with one mouse click.  Drag to change color.  When/if it works color is very dark.  Doesn't work everytime.  Using the Color Mode and Sample Once.  Vista 64-bit with all SP's, CS5 32 and 64 bit, same results.

    I'm realyl not sure I understand why you try to use that workflow. A greyscale image is by all means devoid of all color and just contains lightness/luminance information, so there is actually nothing to replace. The times when it happens are probably just random compression artifacts that have a slight color fringe. With b/w imagery, you rather tint regions and that can be done using selections and adjustment tools or a global gradient map adjustment....

  • Correct Color Profile in Keynote '09 (or '08)

    I have been tasked with putting together a photography presentation for six photographers. The presentation will be projected (with two Epson projectors and six color monitors) in Keynote ’09 (and ’08) for a one-night photographer’s gallery exhibit. One of the concerns raised by one of the photographers who has used Keynote (not sure the version, but probably ’08 or earlier) is that there is a "*color shift*" that occurs from the original saved image. All images are exported from (Apple) Aperture, (Adobe) Lightroom, and (Adobe) PhotoShop CS3-CS5 using the Adobe RGB 1998 Color Profile.
    All photographers (including myself) are working with Aperture, Lightroom, or PhotoShop and are saving their final images with the Adobe RGB (1998) ICC color profile.
    Is there a way to ensure “correct” color profiles are used in Keynote ’09 (and ’08)? If so, how is this done?
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Is it possible to do a GLOBAL color change for both text and graphics in ACrobat XI?

    I used to do this using the Pitstop Pro plugin but now Pitstop is almost $900 and this is the only thing that I would use it for, not worth the investment
    I can change text color by selecting individual text items, but I want to change all of the red text into white text
    I also need to change all of the red graphics into white graphics and I can't figure out how to do that either
    I have a trial version of XI on a Mac and will buy it if it can do what I am trying to do, i.e. global color changes to both text and graphics
    thanks!!

    I have version 6, but it is way out of date, doesn't work on my current system, I downloaded a trial version of the new one, version 12 I think, now I have to decide if I can afford to buy it, it is not cheap!
    oops, sorry, I didn't read your entire message, aargh!
    I'll check with them if I can upgrade from this early version, thanks for the suggestion!

  • How do I add a color pallet for Keynote and Pages?

    This seems like it should be straightforward, but I need to add a new color pallet for use with Keynote and Pages.  I have the .clr file, but I'm not having any success getting it to show up in the color picker.

    Within Keynote, show the colour palette (command shift C   or   view > show colours)
    click the image palette button (arrowed)
    click the Palette drop down menu and select either: new from file or new from clipboard

  • PE7 Color Replace doesn't work.

    In PE7 I have scanned in a line drawing of a lily in black and white.  I want to change the black to a green - 666600.  I did Enhance - Color Replacement- tried different select tools, chosen eyedropper and selected all black lines, changed the replacement color to 666600, and clicked OK.  It is still black and white.  I have tried making a duplicate layer and doing the same thing, and still black line drawing.  What am I doing wrong?  I've referenced 4 books and they all say the same.  Is mine not working?  I can use the select tool and 3Pt  brush and do it that way, but it isn't accurate and could take forever.

    See this post for some ideas.

  • The color replacement tool  does not exist in photoshop cs6

    Hi guys!
    I have a huge problem with my new photos hope cs6, it doesn`t have a Color replacement tool button, I mean this
    Icon
    In addition I searched category under brush tools but it doesn`t exist
    Just I have color replacement in
    Image > Adjustment> Replace color
    Is it the same with that tool

    Hi,
    the color-replacement tool is still there in CS6, "under" the brush-tool in the toolbar of photoshop-CS6.
    Reveal it by alt-click on the brush...
    did I understand your question right?
    If you want a tool-preset of the color-replacement like the other tool-presets in your screenshot,
    you choose the tool first and then you can make a new preset for your special color-replacement-tool,
    including size of your point etc...

  • Global color values differ between palettes and when converted (Adobe Illustrator)

    I have a swatch file with a bunch of global colors inside. When converting the global color to editable RBG in the Color palette, the values are correct. However, if I use the Eyedropper and sample the color, then double-click the boxes in the Tool Palette or Color Palette, the values are completely different. When the colors don't have the 'global' setting checked this doesn't happen. Does anyone know why?
    A lot of people are going to use this swatch file, and likely will use Eyedropper to select like colors, and with some peoples' workflow it's likely these incorrect values will creep in.

    Why are you using EPS? It is kind of outdated format these days.
    EPS  does not support color profiles. The default Save as EPS options in Illustrator include CMYK conversion which changes the values. To avoid this uncheck "Include CMYK Post Script" in the save options. Then when you open the file in Photoshop the RGB  values will be the same and if you want it displayed the same, in Photoshop choose Edit > Assign Profile and choose the same profile - Adobe RGB in your case. The color settings in Photoshop will have no effect and can remain unchanged.
    If you do that using the same computer the colors will be identical in values and appearance. If you do it on different computers the values will be the same and the color appearance will depend on if both computers have been calibrated to display colors accurately.

  • Color Replacement Tool & Redeye?

    I'm usuing PS CS5 in Windows 7 and I have a picture of a cat with a pupil that is a very pale yellow, parts of it get close to white.  I have seen tutorials for fixing redeye with  the color replacement tool.  Select the proper replacement color (black), as the forground color, mode is color, sample once, limit is discontiguous, tolerance 30%.  Of course redeye is not really not redeye in a cat or a dog.
    I click once in the pupil and than paint with the cursor.  The change is extremely small and the color this is painted in looks bluish.  I reaise the tolerance up to 100% and still no improvement.  If I select luminosity for mode, that changes things.  Black is painted in, but it's painted in like the paintbrush tool would.  It doesn't look like a color replacement at all, it looks more like its painted over.
    Before you mention fix the redeye by raising the flash, I'll mention I get photos from others to work on.  I'm lucky if the photo looks good at all.
    I just went in an experimented with the tool.  The cat has places with dark fur and I clicked once on the dark fur and made the forground color red just to exaggerate the effect.  This is more in line with what I expected and leads me to believe the color replacement tool in color mode, won't replace a very light color.
    I clicked on very light fur and red does get painted in, very lightly.  I guess this is good behavior, ps is assuming you want to replace light color with light color and the lighter it gets, the less apparent replacement takes place.
    Do I have that right?  I was hoping to find a better way to fix redye in animals other than just painting over.  If the picture is good enough, you will have texture in the pupil and I don't want to lose that.
    I did some more experimenting with the luminosity setting.  I'm not thinking the apparent paint over look is a result of the lack of texture or variability in the area I'm using the CRT.

    Going back to about CS2, there was a tutorial on correcting the retinal reflection on various "animal eyes." IIRC, the examples broke things down by Canine, Feline and then a few others, with discussions on the differences between those animals' eyes, and those of Primates. I cannot find it now, but it was well-done, and approached the issues from two perspecitves, Photoshop's Tools and then a biological bent.
    The differences in the eyes characteristics, required different Tools to address.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    PS - I guess that one could file a feature request for a change in the Red Eye Tool, with presets in a drop-down for Canine, Feline, Primate, Cephalopod, Arachnid, etc.

  • Batch Color Replacement?

    Is there a way to do a batch multiple color replacement?
    I have about 5 areas which I'd like to try different color
    combinations on...
    Can I somehow use the data-driven graphics wizard to output
    about 10 files with 10 different color combinations??
    If so, how can I accomplish this?

    Hi Shommel:
    I think.. If you want to replace then only once then you can ceate a console application. If not, I will propose you write some code as
    Event Receiver.

  • Deleted global colors

    We get something called Deleted global colors, it corrupts the files and consisantly copies itself when you are copy and paste from one document to another. We have also noticed that we get the virus when the deleted global colors are not in the swatch palette. It is now showing up in the brushes palette.
    In order to get around this we have to place the document into a new file but this screws up the groupings and the masks.  Is there a fix?

    You have to do us a little favor and describe your set up Mac or PC version of illy something about the specs of your computer OS etc.
    Also the other software you use and perhaps the type of work you do in general as well as what you use Illy for.
    Also what about any plug ins you have or recently installed software and or fonts and any color calibrations you may have done and the software you mat have used.
    I am being very specific because you are pretty vague.
    My gut feeling is you have some third party software that is conflicting with Illy.

  • Please help a newbie.  Can not get color replacement to work

    Hello,
    Let me start off by saying that I am a newbie to PS in general.  I have been on the software for a short period of time.  I was working with some images and I was making layers trying to bring color out of BW photos (make a BW layer and use the brush to get the color back in certain areas).  I installed RAW 5.3 and now when I make a BW layer I can not make the adjustments on the layer any longer.  I get an error message stating I can not make adjustments to the layer.  But in all the manuals I have it states to make the adjustments on the layer.  I am really confused.  I am looking at my plug ins on PS "homescreen" and there are 2 Camera RAWs (5.3 and 5.0).  I was wondering if I delete 5.0 that may help (how can I do this).  Also, I can make a color picture and remove the color from the main image, but that would just take too long to only bring out the color in a small area.  I am wondering why this process is now "reversed" 
    Also, is there a setting that may not be right to make the color replacement on the layer that may not be right on my computer.  Again, all this started right after installing RAW 5.3.  I am running an iMac OS X v10.5.7.
    I am sorry if I am leaving some information out, but I am a newbie and do not know what other information might be useful.
    Thanks for any help, and please let me know if there is additional information that you may need to help me.
    Thanks,
    Mike
