Hi!
I want to save a gradient in swatches panel. I dont find any option there. What to do?

You cannot save a gradient in the swatches panel. You can save it as a style in the Styles panel, however.

How to customize size of "Swatches" Panel in Photoshop CS 4/5?

Hello,
1) Using the edge of the bottom right hand corner you can drag a swatches panel to a smaller or larger size.
The picture above was taken when the swatch panel's dimensions counld not be further dragged down into a smaller size. I want to reduce the swatches panel's dimensions to only show one row of small colour thumbnails to increase space of my workplace within Photoshop CS5.
2) Also, I would be eternally thankful if any one of you could tell me how to assign shortcut keys for custom colour swatches that I select using the eyerdropper tool and save into the swatches panel.

You can collapse your panels down to icons, arrainge them in a single column, and dock them to the side of the workspace. Clicking on the icon will open the panel, and clicking again will collapse it back.

Photoshop CS6 Swatches Panel Problem

Hello,
I appologize if this or a similar question has been answered previously, but after some searching I haven't been able to find a solution to my issue. So I run PS CS6 with the default swatches working in the painting workspace on WIndows 7. The swatches usually looked like this:
However when I opened my file to work on today the panel suddenly looked as follows:
I am not sure how or why this changed happened, I didn't make any changes to my preferences at all. Yesterday when I had the file open the swatches were as above and today they look like the second image. I tried resetting the swatches to default replacing the current panel, but it just resets to this order. I have even deleted the swatches.psp file in users/appdata/roaming/adobe/etc... and photoshop still opens to this order of colors. I've even gone as far as resetting all photoshop preferences to no avail. I can't figure out for the life of me how to get it back to the way it was originally. It's not a huge deal but I find it extremely annoying as I've gotten used to working with the default swatches panel order.
So if anyone knows how I can reset my swatches panel so they look as they originally did above I would be extremely grateful.
Thanks in advance.

Nothing really changed other than the width of the swatches palette because it is grouped with other palettes that are wider than it's minimum size. All the colors are still there, in the same order.

Unable to save a gradient to a swatch panel

Help, I was always able to do this before. (should be simple...) I made a gradient and just want to save / add it to a Swatch Panel that I've already defined and saved. I used to be able to drag (I think) the gradient into the desired Swatch Panel and then 'save the swatch again' It won't let me do this today even though I just did it last night! :-(
I'm working on a Windows 7 machine and I am using Illustrator CS5....
Very frustrating; any help would be super, thanks!

humm, thank you for the reply. I'm not sure what I did last night then (and many other times, I still have others saved too) I have a Swatch panel with all the gradients I saved for one project. I can open a new document, call up that swatch panel by choosing to view a USER DEFINED panel with a name I saved it as...and all my gradients are right there....so I'm entirely confused now. All I did was drag the gradient over to it and resave it???
Frustrating. I saved 3 gradients just last night and it worked perfectly.....
Now I can't drag the new gradient over to the panel I previously saved. When I try to it beeps at me.
In case I'm describing this totally wrong I've inserted a pic of the Panel which I've named TES GRADIENTS and even circled the gradients... there all 3 of them are. How did I do that LOL....

Swatches panel won't resize to fit colors in gradient order in Photoshop CC?

I just upgraded to Creative Cloud and one problem I encountered was having my colors displayed in the gradient order when the swatches panel is attached to other panels and gathered on the right. You can tell this in the following screenshot of the panels here:
When separated from the rest, having the panel floating the colors are able to be displayed correctly. As seen here:
Is there no way I can have this configuration and still have it attached to the other panels? I've noticed that the panel that prohibits it to be resized to the proper size is the layers panel. How can I fix this?

When panels are docked together, they can only be resized down to the greatest minimum width in the bunch, in this case, the Layers panel. What I do is set the panel to use Large Thumbnails, and then increase the width so that the colors line up.
However, if the Swatches panel is docked with the Brush panel (which is v e r y w I d e), Large Thumbnails aren't large enough, and you can line the colors up.
Another thing you can do is stick some extra swatches (can be any color you like) on the right side of the panel, probably two for every row.

Hi teda,

Actually the report is created in webi java panel using RE SDK and is saved in Report Sample Folder then i'm saving it in user's personal category by following code
string query = "Select SI_PERSONAL_CATEGORIES From CI_INFOOBJECTS Where "
                     + "SI_INSTANCE=0 And SI_ID=" + reportID;
                InfoObjects infoObjects = infoStore.Query(query);
                InfoObject infoObject = infoObjects[1];
                Webi wreport = (Webi)infoObject;
                ObjectRelativeIDs personalIDs = wreport.PersonalCategories;
            /personalIDs.Add(Convert.ToInt32(categoryID));
               infoStore.Commit(infoObjects);
But the report is presents in the Folder also and in user's personal category also.
I dont want the report to be in the folder (Report Sample) if i saved it in user's personal category.
How can i do that?
any idea.
Please help me.
Thanks in advance

I want to use Get Panel Image in Labview 5.0.1 and need details on how to save the BMP data generated

I am trying to generate an application that saves a copy of its front panel on completion. This is easy to do using an invoke node with Print VI to HTML but this does not work in an .exe format. I have seen elsewhere that you have to use the Get Panel Image method, but no details are supplied in LV 5.0.1 documentation of how to use the "image" data (1-D Unsigned Byte array) that is generated. I want to save this in a format that can then be read as a bitmap in any standard graphics package. Any assistance?

Hi,
If you'd upgrade to LV5.1 or 6 you could use the 'standard' vi's for this.
You need a VI called "Write BMP File.vi". It's not shipped with LV5.0.1.
This vi only uses 3 subVI's, so perhaps someone at NI can convert it and
send it to you (sorry, I won't, it's copywrited).
If you cannot get this VI anywhere, you'll need to figure out the BMP file
format yourself. It's not too complicated, but still could take some days.
Perhaps someone figured it out before LV5.1 was released.
Regards,
Wiebe.

How to save settings in the front panel to different files and retrieve it later?

How to save the front-panel controllers' settings to different files and retrieve it later?
What I've archived is the "Save Settings" function, but when trying to "Reload Settings", I can only retrieve the saved data to front-panel indicators, but not the controllers!
Can anybody give me some advises?
Thanks in advanced!
Charles Lu

Hi
Just write the retrieved data to a local variable (but make it writable first) or property node of the controls.
Hope this helps.

Can not get any color swatches into Gradient Swatch panel.

I've tried dragging, clicking dragging and only get the circle/line-thru-it. And there is no New Gradient Swatch option anywhere that I can see.
Listen: I've now spent over 4 hours online -- today alone! -- reading instructions that simply do not work. After 4 years of InDesign work and design changes made because I can't get two colors to simply gradient, its time for this function to work for me.

You have at least two possibilites to add gradients to your swatches:
1. Select an Object with a gradient applied. (Take care to have the gradient part selcted in the stroke/fill part in the tool panel.) Got to the Swatch Panel and in the menu of the panel select "New Gradient Swatch…"
or
2. In the swatch panel menu got to "New gradient Swatch…", edit the color stoppers, add some ore remove some and click on the add or ok button.

How can I save an EXE front panel image to a file?

The methods to save a VI front panel image to a file don't work on executable applications. How can I save an EXE front panel image to a file? (LabVIEW 6.1)

Hi,
i wrote some vi that save FP to image and created exe and it works fine. How do you save FP to image in VI?
If you use VI server method "Get Panel Image" and use "Write JPG file" ( or BPM) it works fine.

Adobe Captivate 8 - How to Remember Project Custom Swatches

Is there a way to replace default swatches with custom swatches 'permanently', for example by embedding them in a template? I've created a template with my custom swatches but it doesn't seem to be a solution. Captivate loads the swatches panel with default swatches each time I create a new file or open an existing project.

I know, the whole color work flow in Captivate is bit mysterious, and most users don't bother about it. The swatches panel was almost not used in CP7. I ended up by creating my own swatches in the scratch area of a project if colors were important, and I believe consistency in colors is important, don't misunderstand me.
Now it has improved a little bit, but I'm still trying to figure out the best work flow. You are right, I should expect to be able to save my swatches panel either with a workspace, or within the Preferences, or if you want within the Object Style manager. But Captivate has not even a foreground/background color button, it used to have two color buttons in the vertical toolbox that they banned from the present version
With each new project I try to find out a better way to manage colors, but still didn't succeed. And you are very rare, there are almost never questions about color management. Glad I'm not alone anymore.
What I'm doing at this moment, is transfer 10 colors to a theme color palette from the swatches panel. Those 10 colors are also bit of a mystery. Some are used in the provided themes, some not. And the names don't correspond always with the objects they are used for (Subtitle is not used for subtitles, to give one example). But those theme colors, when applied to the theme, will result in changes of some object styles (not all...another question mark) and they are mostly available when a color dialog box pops up. I say mostly, they will for Fill, Stroke and Gradient colors, for some learning interactions but not for all. The 'tints' are based on the theme colors, color 4 is a theme color, color 5 is darker, the first three are lighter. That provides me in total 50 tints based on the theme colors.
A template is really a bridge too far, at least if you use that word as it is meant in Captivate for a cptl file, because I see the word template used for a lot of files, even for themes and almost never for a template.
Your theme color palette will be saved in the workspace, can be reused for any theme. And if you edit also the Object styles, those that are not yet adapting the to theme colors and the Skin you can save that theme as a custom theme and reuse it later for any project, of the same kind. Because themes for responsive projects can be used for normal projects but not the other way.
Sorry for that long answer, still not satisfied with it, just the result of my personal exploration. A blog post about that is not really worthwhile since almost nobody seems to care about colors. When consulting or repairing projects I do see more overridden styles than normal ones.

Hi jscher200,
Thank you for your reply, sorry for the VERY late late response, but I have just figured out how to control this separate 'panel'. I find it really useful for monitoring Google Analytics in as it can just sit there running. It does have its limitations, as it's a limited size (you can't expand it to full screen view), so you can only ever see a vertical section of a website and need to scroll to look to the right or left, but I have the live view of people accessing my website running on there and if the numbers start racking up at any time, I can scroll to look and see what pages they are accessing, where they've been referred from, etc.
To get it to work, you save a website address in the Bookmarks Toolbar and when you can see it sitting on the toolbar at the top of the screen with its little icon, right click on it then click 'properties', then tick the box 'Load this bookmark in the sidebar'. The next time you click on this bookmark to open the website, it will load in this sidebar, which looks like a separate 'window' but is immovable. You can only have one sidebar application running at a time, but can change it by right clicking on the bookmark you want to load in there and it will then change to that one next time you click on that bookmark.
I hope this might be useful to others, as I asked for help with this on loads of forums and not one person knew that this existed - even really skilled techies!

How do I make the "Find Panel" (Ctrl-F) more ME friendly?

After quickly resolving and only recently glitch in an older Firefox version (17.0.1) concerning stubborn restore of last sessions upon start up, using now version 27.0.1, I am now frustrated with the Find Panel (using Ctrl-F). How do I revert the Find Panel to older (not to mention MORE PRACTICAL!) version? If a visualization is actually necessary, I found a link that may be helpful: http://s11.postimg.org/qsc5piwr7/ff_find.png .
Focusing ONLY on the Find Panel, the version I am looking for is on
the top, while the newer (not to mention INFERIOR!) version can be
found on the bottom.
If I have to get another version, please let it also be able to use the Norton Toolbar, but I would much rather be given the instructions on how to simply edit the version I have now (27.0.1) so as to change only the Find Panel as I described above.
If you noticed, I'm getting super frustrated and also very picky, but as things Mozilla, Google, etc. go on, making what I suppose they call "progress," they all start to diminish in their functions. I'm not looking for a special looking internet browser, but one that works, user friendly, ME friendly. If Firefox has a few bugs to work out, work `em out, but for heaven's sake, stop altering the orientation of tools in the browser, rendering it far less practical than its wiser ancestral versions. I digress though . . .
I'm using Firefox 27.0.1, extremely loathe the Find Panel (Ctrl-F), how can I switch to an older and
better Find Panel (while at the same time also maintianing compatibility for Norton Toolbar)?

My Illustrator does not allow me to change colors using swatches panel. Help pleas.

Few days ago I started having strange problems with my Illustrator CS5 application. I am using MacBook Pro with Intel Processor. After major update on the Mac OS few days ago I noticed I can not change colors in my drawings using swatches panel. The function on my Illustrator CS5 stopped working. When I select object and try to change its fill or stroke color using fill and stroke from the options bar above work space, none of the swatches would work. The are there how ever nothing hapends when I select them, the color remains the same.The same thing happens if I try to use the swatch panel, I select the object then I try to select new color from swatch but the fill or stroke does not change. I can only change color on my drawings using the color panel but that is not useful for me since I need to get precise colors using approved color swatches ether from pantone library or approved by client.
The other strange thing is my selection tool does not deselect when I click outside on or of the artboard, the object remains selected until I reselect another object or use the keyboard short cut to deselect it.
I have tried various options to resolve the issue from deleting and reseting preference to completely uninstalling and reinstalling Illustrator CS5. I even installed back my old CS4 version because I had to complete a project and the same issue is happens there as well. I also reset the application using Time Machine from few months ago when it was working correctly. What happens when I reset or reinstall the app, it works for about 10 min correctly as it should and and then it reverts to the same problem. I am out of options and do not know what else I could do to fix this. Right now I am working on my old Mac tower G5 and CS4 where everything works as it is suppose to, but I really need to get this fixed. Can any one help or has solution for my problem? Please.
