Add color tint to b/w original

hi there -
I want to add a tint to some old black and white footage, like they used to do in the silent era. My original footage is b/w, so from what I can tell color correction doesn't help with this.
Any ideas on how to add color that isn't already there?
thanks much
RM

It would depend on what exactly you were trying to treat...
I'm not at my system, but I ran some prior tests and was able to select a range of grayscale to affect, and then you could use mattes or masks to further isolate specific areas/ranges.
Might take some work, but that's what it's all about, right...finding a creative solution to a given challenge?

Want to change ALL photos in finished project from 'Tint' to 'Color Tint'

Is there an easier way to change all photos that have a 'tint' effect to another effect without having to manually go into each image?
I have a nearly finished 90 min doc that has a plethera of stills that I have added a 'Tint' from Image Control effect. However I have found that in many of my dissolves there seems to be some green frames thrown in the mix, (ONLY within the dissolve?) Anyhow, I found a work-around:
By changing the original tint effect from dropdown----Effects; Video Filters; Image Control; Tint
to
Effects; Video Filters; Quicktime; Color Tint.
For whatever reason, this corrects my random 'green frame' action.
So does anyone know if there is some kind of batch edit that I can do, that recognizes all the images w/ Tint and change it to Color Tint in felt swoop?
If not in FCP 5.1.2, maybe in 6?
Thanks,
Zack

hi,
boring but you can add the effect to the first still. Then apple -C it. Then select all the clips you want to change (apple-click will select no contigous clips) then select Remove Attributes from the edit menu. Select the Filters checkbox. Then select Paste Attributes from the edit menu. Select filters again and you're done.
hope this helps

My black and white printing has a color tint to it. How do I change this?

It seems like whenever I print anything that is supposed to be just black and white, such as a word document, the black is not a true black--it has a colored tint. I originally thought this was a printer issue and contacted tech support for the printer, but they identified it as a computer issue once we hooked up multiple printers to the iMac and the same thing kept happening. There is no setting I can find in the computer to change this because I don't know what its called. Any help would be appreciated!

the first printer it did it on was a canon mp460, the second it did it on was an HP 4400 series, the third it is currently doing it on is an HP officejet 4500. I have tried changing the settings in the print dialog box to the b&w or grayscale, it still does the tinted black.
I had the canon mp180. I have the HP psc 1209 now. I haven't seen this problem with 10.4.11.
Curiously, I heard of this problem with some Ubuntu drivers. Turned you their conversion program GhostPrint could only convert to either black or color. The color convert resulted in grey black. It was with an HP printer. Ubuntu & Mac OS X share some of the same print technology.
I see you have iMac, Mac OS X (10.4.9). I suggest you upgrade to 10.4.11. Pick one of the combo updates referenced on this page:

Regardless of the print problem, you should upgrade. Do you have wireless, if so you will need to reconfigure.

Is it possible to import color tints and gradients in AI5?

I've got a few hundred illustrations to import from FreeHand and convert from black-only art to 4-color process. I've developed a palette of four basic colors, and I want to create and apply selected tints of them (usually 80%, 60%, 40%, and 20%). I also have a gradient that fades from my background color tint to white.
I built a master file of all these global CMYK colors and their tints applied to boxes as well as my gradient and a handful of graphic and paragraph styles. As a quick method of importing these, I just selected all my sample objects, then copied and pasted them into my convert ex-FH file.
The master colors came in, as did the the graphic and paragraphic styles, but none of the tints or the gradient.
What am I missing? Please don't tell me I have to recreate all these tint swatches by hand for every document.
Thanks for any help you can provide to an Illustrator newbie.

The ASE export worked fine. The tints are all there, in spite of the warning. I can't see any difference in the behavior of the two types of export.
Here's more information, as I swithced to working on my laptop at home:
I placed my ASE library in the art folder of this textbook project, rather than in the default location, so it would be synced with all my other work on this job and not be left behind on my work machine. That worked fine. Also, as I mentioned the ASE library, when opened in Illustrator, does in fact contain all my tints. If I want to put them all into a document's Swatches, though, I can't use the command from the flyout menu "Add to Swatches." Oh, no, that would be what I actually want and what I would expect. All that does is add the four global colors; it ignores all the tints. Instead, I have to select all the colors and tints and DRAG them to the Swatches panel. Fine. Whatever.
Anyway, in case my earlier allusion to a Colors & Styles panel confused people, it confused me too, today when I went to look for that under the Windows menu to turn it on. Turns out it was the name of the file where I built all my master colors and graphic styles, and hence became the default name of the ASE library I exported. Open that Libary, get a floating panel named Colors & Styles. Simple.
I'm slowing catching on...

Why do my PRO-100 black and white prints have a color tint?

I am printing on the PIXMA Pro-100 printer and sometimes, for no apparent reason (?), my black and white prints will have a color tint (usually a "redish brown"), and then when printing again... same print, same settings... the same print will be fine, neutral with no tint at all.
Any ideas why?
Also (maybe related?) I don't understand why the Photo-Cyan and Magenta ink cartridges are being depleted when I am NOT printing color, but only Black and White. Am I missing something? When setting up for printing I always make sure the "Black and White Print" feature is selected in the settings dialog "Quick Setup". Doesn't this insure that only the black and grey inks are used as long as I am not "toning"? In other words... if ONLY the black and grey inks are used, isn't the print supposed to be a neutral black and white print? Again... am I missing something?
FYI:
I am printing on Canon Pro Luster and Plus Semi-Gloss papers.
Under "Options - Color Management" I have selected:
(color handling) Photoshop Elements Manages Colors
(image space) Adobe RGB (1998)
(printer profile) Canon PRO-100 <LU> 1/2 Photo Paper Pro Luster
(rendering intent) Perceptual
Solved!

It looks like you have the settings pretty close. But the fact is all printers use all their cartridges to print B&W.
Whoa, why?
Yes it is true and the reason is this. B&W consists of 256 shades of gray. From totaly black which is 0 to white which is 256.
If you have just one, two or three cartridges to make 256 different blacks and grays all the way to white, it simply isn't possibile.
The ony thing a printer can do is, amount of ink and how long. So it makes up for this by using all it's cartridges. However, in Canon it seems like the Pro-100 tints show up more than it should. There are dedicated B&W printers but they are designed differently to accomplish true B&W.
The tint will be different on different papers. You can experiment to find the paper that does best for you. Try a more gloss type paper and see if you like the B&W. You can try Red River papers, too. They will assist you in picking a good B&W paper.
You can also experiment with filters in PSE. Adding a little blue may help. Just give it a try.
But the bottom line is you are no doing anything wrong. It is just the charchter of the beast.

How do I add color to a text box border in Pages app?

Can't find it anywhere. And don't have time to keep looking. Wondering if you can do this in Pages (in Word, you insert text box, then under Format you get in drop down menu "Borders and Shading" and then you can add color just to the border).
Can you do this in Pages app? I've looked everywhere.
Thanks! You'll save me a boatload of time.

Pages ’09 v4.3
Inspector > Graphic > Stroke
Pages v5.2.2
Format > Style > Border
In either case, the color well will appear.

Add color to mail tool bar icons?

Howdy
I just updated to Lion. Is there a way to add color to the icons used in Mail? It looks pretty blah as it is.
Thanks

Put your curser arrow in the right top corner and the top menu bar should pop up. Use the double headed blue arrow in the right top corner to shrink the screen.

Why do I only see grayscale values when I add color from color picker? This happens occasionally, but I don't know what triggers it.

We can't know. You have not provided any system information, not told us what version of AE, details about your artwork, color management and whatnot.

You need to make the color a swatch first. Then double click the swatch and check the Global box.

Add colors to the value area in a XY chart

Hi,
I want to present values in an XY Chart with Xcelsius Std 4.5. The chart is divided in 4 equal zones, so the values fall in one zone (red: critical, green: good, etc)
Does somebody know how can I add different colors to the area of the chart?
When I add colored rectangle with transparency: if it's in the "back" I dont see it, if it is in the "front" I see the symbols of the values quite bad because they are behind the transparency...
Any idea out there?
Thanks in advance

You are on the right track with the use of colored rectangles. You will need to open the XY Chart, open the Appearance tab, and uncheck the Show Background box in the Chart Area and uncheck the Show Fill box in the Plot Area. This will enable the colored rectangle(s) to be seen through the XY Chart. You may need to adjust other settings or add elements to achieve the desired aesthetic.

How do I add color flash in lightroom 5?

How do I add color bars and black leader to beginning of sequence?

I am exporting a film as a Motion JPEG A file for my post sound guy and need to put a minute of black, followed by a minute of color bars, followed by 30 seconds of black at the beginning of the movie. I can't figure out how to do this since the only way I know of to add color bars is in the "print to video" or "edit to tape" functions. Any ideas?

Color bars can be generated a variety of ways - easiest is to go to the Effects tab, then "video generators" then choose "color bars' (I think you can choose w/or w/o tone) and drag it to your sequence's timeline. Then add slug for black leader amount you want (you can increase/decrease it as needed)

Add color

Hi,
I am new to java and have written a very basic program where it takes a length and width of a rectangle and finds the are. my question is how do i add color to the words and maybe format the letters to show up in the middle of the screen and even some background color. can someone please help me out??
public class Rectangle
   public static void main(String[] args)
       // variable declaration
       double length, width, area;
       // variable intialization - assign values to the declared variables.
       length = 4.8;
       width = 5.7;
       // calculations - the process needed to come up with answer.
       area = length * width;
       // output
       System.out.println("Rectangle Area Program \n");
       System.out.println("The area is " + area);
} Thanks

You can't format the console output in Java.
To do something like this, you need to use a GUI, like Swing .
This can get very complicated though, so if I were you I would stick with black & white.

Is it possible to add color context row with javascript?

Hi,
Is it possible to add color context rows for a graphic object with javascript?
Thanks.

The match syntax changed between version 12.0 and 12.1, so my recommendation to you is to build an iGrid template the way you would like to do it with javascript, then export the display template from the workbench.
Open the template in a text editor and observe the format for the MatchValues, MatchColumns, and MatchColors strings.
Then your javascript will follow the document.APPLET.gridObject().setMatchXXX("xxxx"); as shown in the script assistant.

Color Tinting In Highlights

Hi,
I was wondering how I could create a color tinting effect in just my highlights and create the same non-destructive effect you can receive in the VSCO cam and new color adjustments in Instagram in Photoshop. I know how to create a tint within Photoshop but it always tends to come out destructive and turns pixelated. I put an example picture below that I edited with Instagram's new color adjustment where you can put a tint in either just the highlights or shadows.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Unfortunately you used the Instagram word, but we'll let you off this time ;-)
Google 'Photoshop Luminosity mask highlights'
This will show you how to make a selection based on tonal values, and if you get the right one, a selection of just the brighter areas. With that select in place, open up a Hue/Saturation layer. It will automatically have a layer mask restricting its effect to the brighter areas of your image. In the Properties panel click on Colourize, and use the three sliders to get the effect you are after.
