Blurb Color Book Converted to Ibookstore (looks black and white?)

Any chance my COLOR ebook from blurb would end up converted to black and white in ibookstore? Itunes approved the book. I assumed it would look exactly the same. Any way to preview it?

That's a result of the printer using colors to provide the black color.  Don't remember the exact reason but it has to do with using the colors. Try this:  go into the printer window under the Printer preferences and look for an option to print Grayscale.  I believe that forces the printer to use only the black in cartridge in printing and should get rid of the cast.
This is also a problem that Apple warns users of when ordering books with black and white photos, a magenta cast.

    I hired a commercial artist to create a color image for the cover of a self published book. I want a black and white image for the inside. The commercial artist has not responded to this request. How do I determine the format of the color image, I'm guessing it's Illustrator's formatting but I don't know. How can I find out if Illustrator will open the file and allow alterations? The image opens only in Apple's Pages software?

    rons,
    It seems that all you have is a raster image, presumable PNG24 or JPEG, in RGB.
    It may have been created as raster artwork in Photoshop, or it may have been created as vector artwork with the help of Illy, or as a mixture of vector and raster artwork in either application, or both combined.
    If you just need to have a raster representation in black and white based on the current colour image, you may try this, in a new RGB document (View>Smart Guides are your friends):
    1) File>Place the image (you may tick Link or untick and have it embedded);
    2) Create a rectangle with black fill (R = G = B = 0), at least as large as the image, and place it behind the image (you may ClickDrag with the Rectangle Tool between opposite corners, then Ctrl/Cmd+X+B);
    3) Select all and in the Transparnecy palette flyout click Make Opacity Mask with both Clip and Invert Mask ticked.

  • HT3669 I have an HP deskjet color printer that only prints in black and white from my mac ... how do I get it to print in color

    I have an HP deskjet color printer that only prints in black and white from my mac ... how do I get it to print in color

    Check the printer itself.  Some printers you need to set the color & B&W settings on the printer itself instead of the Mac.   If that is not the case w/your printer, contact HP tech support and/or post in their forums if they have one. 

  • Adding color to an object in a black and white photo

    Can someone please help? I just bought Aperture and I was wondering if it is possible to add color to an object in a black and white photo? or keep an object in color and turn the rest of the picture into black and white?
    Thanks

    Hi
    I am 90% sure this cannot be specifically done in Aperture as it can in Photoshop.
    I assume you mean adding spot colour to a B&W photograph.
    You can choose an external editor such as Photoshop, if you have it, create the effect, and re-import the image back into Aperture.
    There are some powerful colour controls for selectively improving colour in a photo within Aperture. Whereby you can make a particular colour stand out more by selectively adjusting the red, blue,cyan,magenta, yellow colour's. These are accessed via the colour controls in the adjustments inspector.
    You can create B&W images with two tones (of your choice) by using the Monochrome mixer ( in the adjustments panel )
    Or you can create colour monochrome effects by using the colour monochrome effects slider ( in the adjustments panel, where you see a + sign with a downward pointing arrow ) click the arrow and select "colour monochrome" from the menu, it will appear at the bottom of the adjustments panel.
    Give some of these a go..... play around with it, you can get some stunning result's..........
    Hope this helps some.......

  • How can I get my printer to print in color? I can only print black and white

    HP Officejet 6500 E710n-z-------windowsxp      My printer will not print anything in color.   How can Iget my printer to print in color?  I can only print in black and white.    It is a new Printer and we just installed it 2 wks ago.

    I am not sure I understand ''it still will not print. ''
    If you cannot see any content on pages you printed or in print preview, the cause might be margins which are set too high.
    #In order to check the margins, we need to go to ''File'' > ''Page Setup''.
    #Once this is done, switch to the ''Margins & Header/Footer'' tab.
    #Check what's set there under ''Margins''.
    The following are the default values for ''Margins'':
    '''Right''': 12.7
    '''Top''': 12.7
    '''Left''': 12.7
    '''Bottom''': 12.7
    Check these values accordingly and change them if necessary.

  • Officejet 6000 using color ink when set to greyscale black and white only

    I have two new Officejet 6000's and both run out of color ink even though I have them set to print greyscale black and white only.  I almost never use color.  The drivers are the latest versions.   Connected via ethernet cord.  Vista Home Premium 64 bit.  Color ink is too expensive to waste it like this.  Does anyone have a reason and/or a solution why the color ink is running out when I have it set to black and white only?
    Apparently it is an issue with some others too.  See this thread on the 6500: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Mac-printing-and-scanning/HP-OfficeJet-6500-will-not-print-using-black-...

    I know these posts are old, but.
    To force the print to print even though some carts are empty or expired. Turn the printer off. Then hold the feed button while turning the printer on. Keep the feed button pressed for about 4-5 seconds after powering on the printer.

  • Why when i convert to black and white and change, contrast, exposure etc and get it right in preview i open it and its brighter and looks different to the preview?

    The images also look different in preview and when i upload them to adobe Revel but when i put them back in photoshop they look Ok.

    I convert, in raw to black and white and add sharpness and clarity theirs and a few other options Temp etc if need be. Then i open them into photo shop as black and white. There i place around with the exposure setting but as you do it you have the preview button clicked so you see what the finished photo will look like. When i hit change normally the photo changes and looks like it was in the preview.But now with out changing any settings in photoshop, as i change the photo the preview is different when i click ok to make the changes. This comes and goes in photoshop and its getting a bit frustrating as i do a lot of black and white photos and have been doing for years but i am having this problem over the last 6 months.
    No i haven't changed colour settings i have photoshop on the preset settings.
    'Preview" when you are changing contrast etc their is the preview option so it shows in photoshop what the changes will be. But what i see when i am changing it is different when i open it. make be a point brighter or not as contrasty as i see it as i am changing the settings.

  • Only opens in black and white...color is gone.

    When I place a photo file into my new blank file in photoshop elements 5.0 (I know it's old) it will convert my picture to black and white. How do I get my photoshop to go back to opening my files as they are, in color??? PLEASE HELP!!!???

    Next time you create a new blank file look at the color mode (towards the bottom of the new file window) and make sure that it's set to RGB, too. If the last thing you've copied in another program is text, PSE will start with that setting at grayscale and then everything you put into the file will turn black and white.

  • Black and White With Color Not Working

    I am trying to have the background of my image black and white with the person in color.  I turned black and white on then tried brushing black and white away from the person.  Instead of the full, vibrant color coming back it was a dull color.  Instead, I tried turning black and white off then brushing black and white into the background.  This time, instead of being pure black and white it was black and white with an obvious hint of color.  I have watched plenty of tutorials and know that it is possible to have it be pure black and white in the background with the person in front appearing in full vibrant color.  I just don't know what I am doing wrong that either my vibrant color is looking washed out in one method or my black and white isn't pure black and white in the other method.  When I first turn black and white on the image does go to pure black and white.  Any suggestions?

    See what happens after re-booting.
    Is "Brush Range" set to "All"?
    Try the same adjustments on another Image.
    Try the "Color Monochrome" adjustment and see if it works as expected when brushed in/brushed away.

  • Convert photo to black and white excpet for reds

    I have a photo and I would like to convert it to black and white except for the reds in the image. Is there a way of selecting a color range to be preserved and to convert the rest to black and white?
    thanks

    The problem is that the reds arnt just in one area.
    Is there no way to select a color range?
    I guess I could use the magic wand tool and set it off continuous while varying the tolerance, but this seems a but crude.

  • PSE Elements 9-convert to black and white not working.

    I recently bought my wife a new HP computer with Windows 7 64bit and Photoshop Elements 9 to go with it. She has not had any problems up until today.. It seems when she attempts to convert a picture into black and white, photoshop freezes up. Sometimes it will convert the image but most of the time when you go to Enhance--convert to black and white,  the little photo of what you want to conver that is on the right hand side of the screen just fills up with dots and then nothing appears on the work area.At that point you cannot close the application or anything else with out Ctrl.alt,delete. I have tried to change the programs compatibility to Windows Xp service pack 2 and 3 as well as running as admin but it does not fix this problem. As far as I know this only occurs when she tries to convert photos to black and white. What can we do? Is PSE9 not compatible with Windows 7 64?

    Suggest that you delete preferences:
    Preference settings control how Photoshop Elements displays images, cursors, and transparencies, saves files, uses plug‑ins and scratch disks, and so on. If the application exhibits unexpected behavior, the preferences file may be damaged. You can restore all preferences to their defaults.
    Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift immediately after Photoshop Elements begins launching. Click Yes to delete the Adobe Photoshop Elements settings file. 
    A new preferences file is created the next time you start Photoshop Elements. For information on a specific preference option, search for the preference name in Help.

  • True Black and White CS4

    I have converted a photo to Black and White but despite doing all the basic things ie convert to greyscale, destaturate etc etc my phots always appear with a slight sepia tint on my monitor, but if I open the same photo in other applications such a Canon DPP or Picture Windows it is Black and White with no no hint of any color. Has any body expeienced the same problem and if so what is the answer to correct

    Please read this post then provide some details.  What printer model? What operating system? In the "Print in Grayscale" dialog look for "Use Black only" and check this if available.
    What media are you printing on?  Most HP printers use pigmented black ink and this is not compatible with photo paper.  If you are using photo paper then the color cartridges will be used to make black.

  • Black and White Preview for all images Quick and Easy can it be done?

    Before I switched to Mac, I used a google program to do my iphoto/aperture like editing called Picasa. Picasa allowed me to change my view to black and white so that all my images looked black and white until I changed my view back. This was GREAT for letting me look at a wedding or a group of images and quickly scan for the ones that looked spectacular in black and white as apposed to color.
    I have been desperately trying to find a setting in Aperture that will allow me to do that so that I can get a super quick preview of everything and mark the ones that I want to really spend time converting to black and white.
    Does anyone know how to do this? I would almost be willing to change my monitor settings to greyscale temporarily if that is even possible.

    What I do is this:
    In the View Menu set Proofing Profile to Gray Tone.
    Then anytime you want to see things in B&W, hit ShiftOptP
    (Pictures are only B&W in Viewer only mode--large or full screen. But you can use the arrow keys to move through a whole album)
