Tear-off color palette?

In older versions of AppleWorks, you used to be able to click and hold on the color palette pop up on the pen or object fill button and "tear" the palette off. Doing so would give you a whole host of different options, such as specifying the percentage of a selected color to make different shades based on the same color. This doesn't seem to work in the current version. Is there a way to do this or has this feature been removed for some reason?

The tearaway palettes in AW 5 were replaced with the Accents window in AW 6.
In Draw mode, go to the Window menu and choose Shoow Accents.
Regards,
Barry

Suddenly, the text color palette displays off the top of the page until I click it, creating an cons

Suddenly, the text color palette displays off the top of the page until I click it, creating an constant unnecessary extra step when selecting color. After searching extensively, I cannot locate any way to change this. Any suggestions?
This bug is driving me nuts. Anyone else having the same problem? Have you solved it?
Thanks!

Sorry, Peter. I cannot. When I click to capture the screen, the palette disappears. Perhaps I can better describe it: when I wish to select a text color, I used to get a drop down palette. Now the palette is "dropping up," so it disappears off the top of my screen. I have to click into it to get it to drop down so I can see it. So, every time I want to pick a text color, I now have this extra step to deal with.
It started suddenly, seemingly out-of-the-blue.

Color Palette missing options.

My color palette on pages only has the spectrum. They other options like the "crayon box" is missing. How do I fix this? I don't have the "lozenge" at the upper right of the color palette?

Peter,
In 10.8.3, I no longer have the lozenge button in the upper right either. Could you check on your ML system and see if you still have it there? I'm OK because I still have the color picking option buttons, but I don't have any option to hide them or show them, they're just there all the time.
Edit: I wonder if the OP had the options turned off when upgrading to ML and now can't change back to showing the options. Edit again: I see the OP shows Lion 10.7.5, but we can't always trust that either...

How do I remove saved colors from color palette?

If I open the color palette in Mail there are several I have saved at the bottom, in the little squares below the color circle. Some are duplicates or ones I don't want any more. Yet I cannot get rid of them. Can't drag them off and can't find a way to eliminate them. Does anyone have an idea about this?
Thanks,
Richard

Richard & Jeffrey,
Thank you for posing the question and answering it. It is just what I wanted.
Now one more thing Jeffrey - to put the icing on the cake(!)... can I name that saved color? I've tried clicking on it, but nothing happens.
Thanks
Geraldine

Animated gif changes color palette while playing

Hi everyone,
I've been creating animted gifs using Matlab and the ImageMagick suite (convert). If I open the gifs in Preview, the color comes out fine in each frame; however i I use Quicktime (which is necessary, that's what we use for presentations) the color palette will change as the frames play.
I just got the newest version of Quicktime, hoping that it would solve the problem, but it didn't. Any ideas?

I'm not familiar to the software but I can guess what is happening.
Too many colors. A GIF is 8 bit (256 colors) but some of them are not used by all software. Windows and Mac's are different.
Does the software offer a way to reduce the number of colors used? Can you get it down to 8 bit? Can you discard unused colors with some other software?
Have you considered building an image sequence movie? These allow many different images formats and support up to 32 bit formats (millions of colors).
QuickTime Pro ($30) can import a series of images as a movie. The file size is much smaller than any video format used today (just the total of the images file size).

INDD to PDF: web-safe color palette?

Context: currently, the Google Docs Viewer/Embedder, when used to display a PDF in a browser, heavily downsamples images in the PDF resulting in grisly color changes and posterization. This has been discussed for a long time elsewhere on the web (example) and is something Google might eventually deal with.
I assume Google's intention was to hack down bandwidth usage, which I don't begrudge them, but the results stand out glaringly in an otherwise vibrant WWW. Embedded fonts work fine, and the only other visual/layout errors can be with some more advanced design effects—unless they are flattened down to Acrobat 5 compatibility.
With the nasty color changes, what I believe I'm seeing is a re-processing of the images in the PDF with ye olde web-safe color palette. Or maybe its paleolithic predecessor. FYI the source PDF is unaffected. And FYI, yes, I am aware of many other options for embedding a PDF in a web page; I'd like to try and solve this one.
My thinking is this: if I can output my InDesign file such that images are converted more gracefully to a web-safe palette, and possibly with more satisfactory color dithering, then the results via the Google Docs Viewer/Embedder might be improved, more predictable, good enough for now.
I know how to do this with Photoshop, and I assume it's a Photoshop engine working behind the scenes in/for InDesign when processing images, so I'm hoping this is attainable.
Semi-educated guesses:
That a suitable color profile could be created and selected when outputting either PDF or PS, resulting in 255-color (indexed) RGB images in the final PDF layout.
That the long way is to make alternate versions of each image used in the layout, swap them (such as with relink to file extension, e.g. GIF for TIF), and output a version specifically for embedding.
Thanks in advance for any creative thinking.
Edit: it's looking like the limit is far fewer colors, possibly 16. Gross. But I'm still curious about the possibility of a method for this, as it could have other applications.

After getting both your replies, I went back and experimented some more. I am creating a pdf for a b&w book interior, and it is setup as an ID book, with two files. I was trying to generate the pdf from the book.indb file without the individual book indd files being open. That resulted in the screen in my initial question.
I went back and doubleclicked both of my book indd files and selected both, then generated the pdf from the book.indb file. This time I got the proper choices Document CMYK - U.S. Web Coated ....

Reports (10.1.2.0.2) developer crashes when I try to import a color palette

I had enough with this Reports Developer tool. Did not have this problem with 6i version (have been using for years) and do not have problem with changing the color palette with Forms in the 10.1.2.0.2 version. But the :(!@#$%! reports keeps crashing when I try to change (import) a color palette. The only option available is the Export color palette, the Import is always greyed out. This report that I am trying to change the color palette was originally designed with 6i reports tool and I am porting it to iAS format. It is running on Linux. If I start a new report (from scratch) in iDS (reports tool), then I have the paper layouts uses the new canvas of the iDS. But if you try to open up an old report, it shows the old color palette and does not allow importing the proper new color palette. I had no problem with changing the color palette when porting 6i forms to 10gR2 forms. Whe the hell the reports is not working? It supposed to be the same process to import a color palette. I need to port this old reports into new iAS format and this stupid color palette stuff is holding us back.
Any step by step instructions to import a color palette in Reports, is appreciated. Write it for dummies please - I am tired and need step by step instructions please. I never liked the Reports tool (contrary to Forms) and I hate it now.

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

I need help with color pallette in iPhoto 11. I have created a book and would like to use a different color background than those given in "background." I have found the color palettes but can't seem to incorporate them into my backgrounds palette.

That is not a feature of iPhoto - suggest to Apple - iPhoto Menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback.
Additionally I have no idea what you are saying here
I have found the color palettes but can't seem to incorporate them into my backgrounds palette.
And it always helps for you to dientify the version of iPhoto that you are using

Turning off color with eprint/airprint

I have a Laserjet Pro 300 color MFP. I no longer have an immediate need for the color capability. I do a lot of printing from my iPhone, and if the page I am on has color, the printer (of course) prints in color, wasting those very expensive color cartridges. Is there some way to completely disable the color function on this Printer, either through the printer app or at the printer? What if I just take out the color cartridges?

HI Ramon, After PRINT and in the Epsom R2400 dialogue box (layout page) there are only the following selections offered:
Color matching (nothing available to select)
Paper Handling
Paper Feed
Cover Page
Printer Features (use for my selections but no ability to to turn off color management)
Summary
In CS2 there was a color management Dialogue Box and I selected NO Color management and printed with confidence,
Am I missing something here? Do you use Match Print Colors?
Falling behind in my work and appreciate your time, Roy

How to turn off color management in the print dialogue

I Use Macbook Pro OSX 10.8.2
Lightoom 4
Canon Pixma MG 8250
Profile MG series 8200 GL3/SG3 for Glossy paper.
It is stated that "remember to turn off color managment in the print dialog" when using custom profile (I assume the Profile MG...) is regarded as a custom profile...
I have been lookoing in the print dialogue and I can not find any way to turn off colour managment...
Is this only valid for Microsoft Windows of Is there something I do not understand ?

How do I turn off color management in my Epson Stylus Photo R1900

How do I turn off color management in my Epson Stylus Photo R1900 printer? I am using the laetest Epson driver, I am using Adobe Photoshop CS5 and I'm using OSX 10.5.8.
Thanks
Joe

I have researched the matter a lot and I,
along with many others, still have problems with this complicated
subject.
Color management is as simple in theory as Honoring a Source Profile and CONVERTING it to a Target Profile (monitor or printer) for Proofing.
But yes, we work at the mercy of the rocket scientists who try to dumb an extremely complicated process down so regular folks (like me) can make it work — trouble is I think their approach needs a bit more distilling and common sense sometimes...but it is very doable once you put in the time to figure it out, just follow the CHAIN in your workflow if you're still having problems.
If you want a "simple button" try staying in sRGB and printing out of Apple Preview app using OEM standard papers matched to your printer and OEM ink set.

Custom Color Palette - Chart Designer

Hi all, I need to change the colors that my pie chart uses. You can do this in chart designer under the global settings section. The property, color pallete has 4 selectable entries, Frog, Streamline, Tradeshow, and Custom. By selecting "Custom", this means that I can choose the exact colors that I want to use, right? If so, where and how do I specify the colors for my custom color palette. Any reply would be appreciated. Thanks.
Regards,
Rich Heilman

Hi Rich,
Did you go through my post here https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/profile?userid=397656 ? I`m not 100% sure that you are able to do this using only Chart Designer. The problem is that you need association between series data id in cutomization XML and data XML. If you know such id on design time, you can re-design my example by moving generated piece of XML from WD to static customizing XML.
Best regards, Maksim Rashchynski.

Custom Color Palette for Charts

Hi all,
Can I define the colors of a chart by a custom color palette in Design Studio (as you can do it in Web Intelligence) or does SAP intend to implement such a function in a next release? With CSS this isn't fully possible, because it doesn't allow you to coloring the additional line like the corresponding main line.
I've already seen and commented this post Re: Custom Color Palette for Charts / CSS, but it's still unanswered. Maybe I've with a new discussion more success.
Thank you and kind regards
Silvan

Custom color palette in WAD charts

Hi BI Experts,
we are trying to create a custom color palette, which we want to apply to all your WAD charts.
Can anyone tell us how to do this?
Of course we can customize the colors in each chart, but that's a hell of a lot of work. Moreover, there doesn't seem to be any way to save the custom colors, but we have to recreate the colors with the color picker for every single chart.
The WAD chart wizard allows to choose between color palettes "Enjoy", "Streamline", "Tradeshow" and "User specific".
If it is not possible to create a custom color palette, can we modify one of these SAP color palettes? What does "User specific" mean?
Any help will be much appreciated (and of course rewarded with points).

Moin, bei dem Problem kann ich leider überhaupt nicht helfen. Solltest Du allerdings, wie ich annehme, in Göttingen studiert haben und dann ein paar Jahre in den USA gewesen sein, dann melde Dich doch einfach mal, so Du Lust hast.
Besten Gruß,
Andi

Custom Color Palette for Charts / CSS

Is there a way of creating a custom color palette for charts (as you can do it in WebIntelligence) and install it on the tomcat?
Or will I have to set my custom colors in the css? And if so: where can I find a description of classes for Charts? Is there any description of css classes at all? All I could find was a list of classes for a crosstab (but no description).
Thank you
Carola
