CS4: Black-and-White adjustment layer - no Saturation slider?

Hi. The modal dialogue for Black and White has the "Colorize" option and for that "Hue" and "Saturation" sliders.
But Black and White as an adjustment layer in the adjustments palette does NOT offer the Saturation slider. At least not in my CS4 Extended on Win XP. There is the targeted adjustment tool (TAT), but it changes color, not saturation.
Can that be or am i missing something?
Thanks!

The interesting thing is that there is an colorization saturation adjustment slider in the imag-adjustment-black and white dialog as shown below.
The lack of that slider in the adjustment panel is a bug in CS4. It was present in CS3.
Adobe should fix that because it is really usefull because it's non-destructive and can be set as a preference.
The cumbersome workaround is to add a hue saturation adjustment layer.

Cc opacity keyframe on black and white adjustment layer doesn't work

hi
i use premiere cc under w8.1 pro
well i noticed a strange behavior
i added an adjustament layer , black and white effect , and several keyframes
seems that premiere reads only the first one
for example
1) keyframe -> @0% the second keyframe @100% the video is all in color ,doesn't matter how many keyframes i add
2) first key @100% second @0% (opacity) the video is all in black and white , again doesn't matter how many keyframes i add , only the first is read
i tried the black and white effect , on video ,titles and so on and it works perfectly , it doesn't work on the adjustament layer
i tried others effects on adjustament layer and they work
is a bug ?
is there an known bug in prev. versions?
thanks

thanks i do it, saturation
but can't understand why this happen with adjustament layer only
may i know which cc version do you use?
sometime i think to buy c6 , i have cc subscription

Black and white a adjustment layer not working

Hi every one. I know this is going to sound really dumb but I am looking to change a color logo to bw. I wanted to use the black and white adjustment layer but the option is greyed out. Is there a step I am missing? The file is cmyk and is 8bit. I am using PS CS6. What do I need to do to make this option available?

The only dumb question, is the one you do not ask.

How best to print a color photo in black and white

I use the Black and White adjustment on a series of colour photo's I've taken. However when I go to print the photo's, colour still comes out in the print. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

It might be a problem with your printer's color profile. Did you try to set the color profile in the print dialogue to "black and white" (choose: "more options" in the print panel) ?

Black and White photo with splash of color

I just bought photoshop elements yesterday. I'm completely new to this and I want to know how to make a photo turn b/w, but keep a point of color,ex: a red hair bow but everything else b/w.

Another way is to create a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer over your photo. (It's one of the choices that is found on your layer's pallet under the black and white icon.) This will create an adjustment that can be masked.
Double click the adjustment layer with "Master" selected and move the saturation slider to -100. Once this is done you can use the paint brush to paint back color. (Black hides the adjustment; white reveals the adjustment; shades of gray provide a partial adjustment.)
I think the mask option is preferable to using the eraser because you can easily go back and refine the image if you make a mistake. It also gives you the opportunity to change your mind without having to start from scratch. Another advantage is that your image will have a smaller file size.
You can also use filters that work in gray scale on the mask. One useful one is Gaussian Blur. I like to paint my selection edges with a hard edged brush then soften (feather) the edges with the Gaussian filter. The Maximum and Minimum filters are useful if you need to expand or contract the mask edge a little.
If you want to have more control over the black and white adjustment, use the pull down menu in the Hue/Saturation adjustment dialog to select each color; reduce each of the colors to -100 Saturation; then go back and adjust the "lightness" slider of each color to taste.

May i know the right photoshop cs6 color settings to print black and white?

hi
in photoshop cs6 64bit under windows 7 sp1 64bit i got
gray Dot gain 15%
spot Dot gain 15%
i did a clean install of photoshop cs6 , i guess they are the dafault
may i know if they are the right settings ? i print with my printer and in a lab with an epson printer
thanks

Ask the lab but I'd be shocked if they asked you for a grayscale document, assuming this Epson is for output of photographic images
they work with psd files and jpg
(but the when i save a photo edited with for example an adjustament layer(black&white) photoshop convert it in a grayscale image ,isn't it?
but photoshop should warns about mismatch profile ,should it? or does it work only with color space
Dot gain would account for whatever dot gain you're aiming for on the press, so you'd have to ask.
Gamma would be used for output to an emissive display, so something like 2.2 to mimic sRGB behavior might be one option
. but may i ask a question?
because i guess i'm confused now
Gray and Spot settings are related only to convert from rgb to mode grayscale
or these settings influence what i see in the monitor when for example i add a black and white adjustament layer?
by the way gray and spot set both at dot gain 20% , are the dafault?
thanks

Black and White Adjustments

I scanned a couple of black and white photos, opened the TIF and cut and paste them into new documents. However when I try to use the Black and White adjustment in CS3 its greyed out. The image is Gray and 8-bit. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious but I can't work out what it is.
Thanks for any help! :)

RGB color images are often best converted to monochrome by the Channel Mixer. That's always my first tool. Some images fair better in Black & White, but all too often that filter leaves telltale signs like halos at the edge of color ranges, and often the overall tonality is better from Channel Mixer. CMYK images are almost always better off converted to RGB first before taking them down to monochrome. The channel splitting from the black generation almost always throws the process off with less than complimentary results.

How to print in black and white

I am new to Mac, and notice that I cannot do two things:
1. I cannot print selected text by right clicking
2. and , I cannot print anything in Black and white, even though my HP computer is set at black only on the host PC it is connected to. Even if I copy and paste to Word for Mac, it still doesn't give me a BW option. It seems the MAC overrides my HP C3100 settings.
Help, I hope I did not make a mistake in getting a Mac.
Sincerely,
Jeff

1. I cannot print selected text by right clicking
Whether or not you can print selected text depends on the application, but that is not something you typically see.
2. and , I cannot print anything in Black and white
If the print driver for your printer allows that sort of thing, it's typically accessed in the print dialog. There will be a pop-up menu that lets you access different print options. Some of the typical things you'll see are Layout, Color Matching, Page Handling, etc. For my printer, I have a Quality & Media option, and in those options there's a Grayscale Printing option.
Of course, you have a different printer from a different manufacturer, so YMMV. Check the documentation and the HP support pages.
Help, I hope I did not make a mistake in getting a Mac.
Those seem like fairly minor things to make you doubt an entire platform choice. Give yourself some time to get used to a completely new and unfamiliar system.

I have imported a color picture and trying to use the adjustment brush to turn the background black and white and it isn't working. I have Lightroom 5. Any suggestions?

Hello - I have Lightroom 5. I have imported a color photo. I am trying to use the Adjustment Brush to change the background to Black and White and leave a portion of the photo in color. When I begin painting the photo with the Saturation at -100 I don't see any changes to the photo. I push the "O" key and still nothing. I have tried to reset the photo, restarted Lightroom and still nothing. Please help.

Adjusting black and white contrast on Photosmart 7520 whilst copying

I can't find any instruction on how to adjust copying contrast on black and white copies..

JCH3114, welcome to the forum.
I have the 7520, also. I am not aware of any adjustment for the contrast when copying. I am not at my printer at the moment, but I will check it out more throroughly a bit later. I will get back to you.
Update: I checked to see what settings were available when Copying. You press Copy button / Settings / Quality - Draft, Normal (Default) & Best. I suggest trying the Best setting and press the Black button to see if that helps. These are the only settings that I could find.

Adjusting a grayscale scan so it's black and white

A client sent me a grayscale scan of a line drawing with small text. The lines and text, which should be black, are gray. And the background, which should be white, is a light gray.
The lines should be 100% black, but I'll take what I can get. I fiddled with curves and contrast and stuff, but when I'd get the background adjusted so it was completely white, then the lines weren't dark enough.
And of course converting to a bi-level bitmap made the lines and text all pixelly and horrible.
FWIW, this will be offset printed, so it needs to be high resolution.
Suggestions?
TIA,
Marlene

Up the resolution 2 x using bicubic smoother (if your version of PS has it, otherwise just bicubic).
Then, I usually blur the drawing slightly (maybe .5 - 1 pixel) so that I can add gain to the lines if they are too fine. You might want to avoid the blur step as you have text; test it and see. Also, blurring helps smooth out pixel jaggies if the original image is too low a resolution.
Then use image.. adjust.. levels to make a "bitmap" by pulling together the black and white sliders of the input levels. You don't want the sliders to touch (as Bill's threshold will do), you just want them close together so you're controlling where the bitmap will "break". Make sure to zoom in and inspect your image. You might use a levels adjustment layer for easier tweaking.
You're shooting for a bitmap image of between 800 and 1200 ppi/dpi at print size, so do the math and up-res again (using bicubic smoother) to the correct resolution. Then make the image a bi-level bitmap (image.. mode.. bitmap).

FF windows go black and white and everything seems to stop when it is a bit busy. Why is this? Why on a fast quad machine, can FF not keep going? Do I need to adjust settings?

From time to time FF seems to freeze temporarily and the windows all go black and white. FF will not then respond. After a while (many seconds) the colour comes back to the windows and it responds again.
I have a fast quad machine so it seems odd that everything needs to stop because something somewhere is not responding as wished.
It has behaved like this for many versions but I have never found an explanation.

It's in warranty. Take it in for service to be sure this isn't a hardware problem.

Black and white disaster!!!!!!

everytime i put a picture into black and white then i try to remove the black and white to make a little color show IT DOESNT WORK!!! please help me!!!!

Hi Abigail and welcome to the forum.
I don't know how you are tutning the image to B&W, but if you want to have parts of the image in colour, you need to use a B&W Adjustment layer.
Layer > New Adjusment layer > Black and White
Then use the paint brush with black as the forground colour, and paint over the areas you want to have full colour. You need to make sure that the layer mask is selected in the B&W adjusment layer. You can tell because a) it will have a double outline, and b) if you have it wrong, you'll be paint onto your image.
The technique you are trying to use is called 'Colour Pop'. So you can use that term to search for help if you need a tutorial.

Black and white adjustment as shown in tutorial won't allow me to select.
