Black & White Video w/ One Color

I know you can do this in Photoshop, but is there any somewhat easy way to show one color w/ everything else B&W. ..ie. B&W Wizard of Oz scene w/ Dorothy's shoes Red?

With some printers it is possible. Try going to the printer properties and selecting Grayscale pprinting.

G5 Black & white video when booted from install DVD

It has been years since I installed 10.5 on our G5 so I can not remember if this happened back then but think it did.
When I boot from an install DVD (both the original G5 DVD with Tiger and the MacOS Leopard DVD) the video output drops to 1-bit (dithered black & white) which makes it very hard to discern the text on the shaded buttons in the GUI. The video card is fine - when I hold down the Option key on boot to select the DVD the video is full-color, but as soon as it switches to running from the DVD the video becomes low-rez dithered b&w.
Anyone else see this issue and suggestions on resolving it? The display is a Dell 17" wide model. I don't have another display that is easily swappable to see if it's a problem with it or the Apple DVI-to-VGA adapter.
The G5 tower is a first-generation 2x2 (2CPUs, 2GHz) with 2 DVI ports on the video card (can't recall which card I ordered back then).

Great to hear, thanks for the report!
I suspect what happened, was that the Install also changed some PRAM or NVRAM setting, those are where number of colors are held.
Some earlier Macs store these settings in PRAM:
Status of AppleTalk
Serial Port Configuration and Port definition
Alarm clock setting
Application font
Serial printer location
Autokey rate
Autokey delay
Speaker volume
Attention (beep) sound
Double-click time
Caret blink time (insertion point rate)
Mouse scaling (mouse speed)
Startup disk
Menu blink count
Monitor depth
32-bit addressing
Virtual memory
RAM disk
Disk cache

Can't have album pics black & white and keep orig. color

Hi, I want to have one of my albums all in black & white. When I do that, it changes my same photos in the library to black & white. Then, if I change those back to original, it changes my album back to color also. What am I doing wrong? I'm using iPhoto 5. I also noticed when I put the B&W photos in a theme drop zone in iDVD (awhile ago and have saved it) it reverted those back to color too!
Hope it's something simple! Thanks!

Hi elizabeth,
First duplicate the images, then edit the duplicate images to black and white.
Put those images in an album. When you don't want the Black and white images anymore, you can delete the album, then delete the duplicates in the library.
I know it might be a pain and does add extra images.
I am not sure why the images you had in black and white reverted to color.

Why, when I save a .BMP as Black & White, it is 256 color?

AAARRRGGHhh!!!!!
I HATE the MS Paint in Win 7!!!
I want to save a .BMP with just TWO colors - Black & White - for use in another program where I import a .BMP.
However I can't import since I get an error that the .BMP is more than 256 colors....EVEN AFTER I SAVED AS BLACK & WHITE!!
IF IT AIN'T BROKE, DON'T FIX IT!!!!

Hi,
This is just a warning to in case you do some mishandling.
You can save the original picture in the desktop, then launch paint program. Click ->Open to import the picture.
Then save as "Monochrome Bitmap(*.bmp;*.dib)" tape, you will get the black&white picture.

How to make one color stand out in a black/white video

I am doing an expirimental film and I cant figure out how to do the effect I want. What I want to do is have droplets of blood falling into a puddle of it (this is fake blood, incase anyone is freaked out) and have shots of small blood puddles and have the Blood colored but everything else black and white. Does anyone know how to do this in premiere elements?

jubgb
I still do not know your version of Premiere Elements and your computer operating system, but here is a plan that would probably work for Premiere Elements 11, 12/12.1, and 13/13.1 on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit.
But you say that you are starting with a black and white image. If you could start with the color version of the image, I think we have a promising path to have the fake blood appear in color on a black and white image.
This would be done by applying the Color Pass effect to the color photo version. Color Pass Effect is found under fx Effects/Image Control/Color Pass.
Then you would edit the Color Pass effect under Applied Effects Tab/Appied Effects Palette/Color Pass Panel expanded. But I find that the most effective editing of that effect is done using the Setup whose icon appear to the right of the Color Pass Panel.
Have you used the Color Pass effect before?

I will offer how to suggestion for its use if interested. As for starting with the black and white, then I need to think about that some more.

Blackmagic Card into FCP is only capturing Black/White video .. need help

Hey all, I just bought a Blackmagic Decklink SP video card. Going into FCP when digitizing video only comes in Black and White.
Here's the setup:
OLD VHS player (RCA out) into the Blackmagic card (BNC).
We're just using the (Y-in from deck) cable that came with the breakout cables. This is plugged into the VHS deck with a BNC to RCA adapter.
Does anyone what might be causing this ?
Is there a setting that I'm missing.
Appreciate any replies

First off...show all of your students this tutorial:
http://library.creativecow.net/ross_shane/tapeless-workflow_fcp-7/1
It isn't long, and it shows the proper way to deal with tapeless footage in FCP. Step 1: BACKUP THE CARD! Never import directly from the card. You need a backup first. Unless you are in a hurry, then you can import and backup later...before you erase the card.
But this camera is tricky...it shoots SD to those cards. Standard Def. With the world moving to High Def, I'm not sure that was the wisest purchase. You really should be getting an HD camera.
As for the computers...do they all have the same OS version? QT version? FCP version? They all should be at least at Mac OS 10.6.8, QT 7.6.6, and FCP 7.0.3.
But yeah...get a different camera. And HD one. And show that video in class. Instill proper tapeless workflows while they are young!

Make a clip dissolve to black & white then back to color

Hi. How do I make a clip dissolve to b&w in the middle of it then back to color?
Message was edited by: Hoops24

Hi,
welcome to the forum,
Choose Color Corrector 3 way from effects>Color Correction.
Apply it to your desired clip> in the timeline place the playhead at the point where you want the image start to desaturate > click clip/load it in viewer and on the top of the CC 3 wheels you can see the playhead position. Hit the keyframe button (left-hand side of check box and eye icon)> move playhead in the timeline and position it at the point you want the image turn completely b&w and slide the saturation control to the far left. A new keyframe is automatically added. Move playhead forward>choose point from which b&w starts turning into color again hit the keyframe button> move the playhead forward to the point in timeline where you want full colors displayed again and bring back saturation (still in CC 3way) back where it was originally.

How to find out embedded raster image is Black&White or Color image?

Is there any possibility to find out the embedded raster image is Black&White, Gray image (or) Color image in "illustrator cs3" without using color mode shown in "document info" pannel. Kindly advice me, the possibilities and solution. And also any scripts avilable for this?
Thanks.

Or you could select the embedded image, and open the Window>Document Info panel. Select Embedded Images from the fly out menu on the Document Info panel. This should give you the color mode and more info on the embedded file in question.

Black & White and other colors in Aperture

How can I color a part of a black & white picture in Aperture. I mean, if I have a color picture, reduce saturation to convert the picture to black & white and then just color the pants or shirt of the person that is in the photo but the rest remains in black and white.

You can only do this in Aperture if that's the only occurrence of that colour in the picture - in which case you can use the colo(u)r sliders.
Otherwise you need to use something like Photoshop (http://digital-photography-school.com/blog/mono-with-a-dash-of-colour-photoshop- cs2-tutorial/)

How to Convert to Black & White?

I am currently using Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard Edition. I have a .pdf document that contains colored font. I want all the font to be black but nothing is working. I have tried to "print" to Adobe, selecting the Black & White option, but the color will not convert. I do not want to have to save my .pdf as another file, convert, and then re-.pdf it. Is there a way to convert to black and white within Acrobat itself?

Thanks and blessings on you.
This worked for me when the "Convert to Composite gray" did not.
My starting pdf file was cmyk and the type was a 57% black boosted with 60-70% of the other process colors. Converting to composite gray gave me a medium dark gray type, not black; and "convert colors to black" worked for the type but blasted the illustrations.
Acrobat has so many damn settings and options; you suspect there must be one that will do what you want, but trial and erroring it can be a long and frustrating process. Bless you for sharing your expertise.

Black & white / desaturate ?

hi there! i recently figured out how to make black&white video footage on adobe premiere pro cs3, by selecting image control under the video effects button, but i noticed that the quality of the film footage itself became grainy. now my question is, will the quality of the clip be better if i were to desaturate the film using the three-way colour corrector? any suggestions?

The human eye is more sensitive to variations in luminance (light) than it is to chrominance (color), and video noise or grain is exactly that: variations in light and color. When you remove the color (ie. desaturate), the grain tends to show itself more because the color was actually helping to "run interference" on the noise and make it somewhat less noticeable (not invisible, just less noticeable). As such, a different method of desaturating the image isn't likely going to net you drastically better results. You'll have to employ some means of image manipulation, such as a slight blur or a noise/grain removal filter, or start with source footage of less noise.

I have a hp officejet pro 8500a plus. can i print in all black when the other ink colors are out?

i'd like to find out if there is a way i can still in black if i have one color cartridge empty

This model has separate ink supplies and printheads. Ink is required in all the colors to keep the printheads and plumbing from clogging. See this page for information on how ink is used.
