Can a Color Box display the transparent color [16777216]?

I was trying to force a Color Box to display the transparent color [16777216 = "2 to the 24th"], but I didn't have much luck.
Instead of displaying transparent, the Color Box wanted to paint a replica of the coloring tool's "transparent" icon, which is a small "T" on a white background.
Is it possible to make a Color Box display the transparent color?

Okay, that's pretty cool. How'd you do it? Also, your transparent "color" reports as being 0 [zero], which should be black. [Frankly, this strikes me as something of a bug...] And your Color Box does report as Visible.
Or maybe it's only reporting the first 24 bits of your color as black, and omitting some values in the other eight bits [such as, maybe {1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1}???].
I added a couple of other values [2^32 - 1, and (2^32 - 1) - (2^24 - 1), which should have 0 in the low 24 bits, and all 1's in the high eight bits], but I couldn't get it to take a value of 2^32. [I don't know how to do long ints in LabVIEW - I seem to recall that you can't.]
Anyway, when I get some time [maybe tonight], I'll write a script to display all 256 possible values of the top eight bits.
But in the meantime, do tell how you got the Color Box to display transparent.
Thanks! Gotta run.

Re: my notebook doesn't display the red color

I think I have the same or a similar problem. I have a AMD A4-6210APU with radeon r3 graphics 1.8 ghz running 64 bit windows 8.1.
Since updating the graphics driver last week I have noticed the colour red seems more pink or purple. This is particularly notable as a lot of my buttons and icons contain scartlet as the principle colour. I only purchased the laptop in August so I doubt this is due to a deteriation of the hardware and therefore seems to be an issue with either the display driver or the display settings.
I have attempted to rectify the problem by resetting the display settings to default.
This partidular model does not appear to have any contrast settings built into the controls, therefore I have no way to adjust the colours manually.

Function or formula to display the desired color in report

Hi,
I am using Web I rich client in BO XI R3.1 version and would like to know if there is any function or formula to display the desired color in report.
I've used aleters but not getting the desired output. I need to display the color of some regions percentage wise based on a condition in a box i've created alerters for individual colors but they are not working.
I came to know in crystal it is available just want to know if it is available in BO too.
For more information about the issue am facing which had already posted in this forum please have a look in the below post.
Alerter not working in XI R3.1 web I rich client report

I am desperately looking for solution and trying to resolve this issue. I would really appreciate for your ideas or solutions.
Thanks,

Or just make one alerter. Make sure you are in the cell and open Alerters. Create one that says "Filtered Object or cell" = "Cell Contents" "Less than" and enter the lowest number, like 0.6. Then click format and change to the color text or background you want. Say ok to all of that and make sure it works.
Then edit the same alerter, click add sub-alerter. Make this one "Filtered Object or cell" = "Cell Contents" again, and put Operator of "Greater than or Equal" to 0.7. Then click on the plus sign button to the right and it should give you an "And" option. Make that one "Cell Contents" "Less than" 0.8. Again go into Format and change to the next color you want. Click OK all the way out and check.
Then edit it again, and add another sub-alerter and make this one "Cell Contents" "Greater than or equal to" 0.9. and again format the color, and save.
Does that not work?

Loss of the transparent color in images inserted into Draw

I need to float an oval portrait image over a background image, so to get to the oval I made the portrait image corner sections transparent using Graphic Converter and saving as a PNG, which supports the transparent color. Problem is that after the PNG image is inserted into the Draw document containing the background image, the transparent sections are black and not transparent. Anyone else know about this problem?

Welcome to Apple Discussions Jim
I've not had much success, & none recently, getting images to be transparent in AppleWorks. However, a few years ago I accidentally discovered that if the image is flipped or rotated the background will become transparent. Since you are using Graphic Converter, you can do what I did. Before saving the image in Graphic Converter flip it horizontally so that once imported into your AppleWorks document you can "re-flip" it & the background will be transparent. Another option is to rotate the object 1 degree in AppleWorks.
I now use Pages for my desktop publishing & it has no problem with transparent PNG or GIF images.

How can I select and delete the fill color (white background) of a live trace (B&W) with in an actio

How can I select and delete the fill color (white background) of a live trace (B&W) with in an action set?
Illustrator CS4 in windows XP.

Maybe Li[ve trace] is not t]he way[ to go
I have some suggestion one leave it as is and use a blending mode of multiply to give it a color background like this
leave it as is make it a grayscale tiff import int Illustrator and color it it in Illustrator like this
Or trace over it with the brush tool aand then give it a color ground.
Or do the original over and do a cleaner job with no tone or a minimum of tone. Then Live trace.

How can I create color fields of the main color automatically?

Hi
I have many images files. For each picture, I need a color field of the main color, so the one that is most commonly seen.
This color should be saved as a new image as background.
How can I do it in Photoshop, so this is done automatically.
Thank you.

Sounds specialist to me. Have a look at Channel Calculations in Photoshop help, but as Christoph says, you are going to need scripting to automate the process. It's not an easy thing to Google either, but I found this PDF Search for 'analyzing color'
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshop/cs/using/WS7901119A-3EE7-4806-B5AF-1A6D58827A81a.htm l
If you are pre Creative Cloud, you'll need the Extended version.
Good luck

Filling the transparent color with a new color in an image

Hi,
I need to fill the transparent color of an imageicon with a new color.
I tried building a filter, but i have no results.
Here's my code:
private static class TransparentColorFilter extends RGBImageFilter {
private int transparentColor;
private int newColor;
public TransparentColorFilter(int transparentCol, int newCol) {
canFilterIndexColorModel = true;
transparentColor = transparentCol;
newColor = newCol;
public int filterRGB(int x, int y, int rgb) {
if (rgb == transparentColor) {
return newColor;
return rgb;
public static ImageIcon makeColoredIcon(ImageIcon icon, int color) {
PixelGrabber pg = new PixelGrabber(icon.getImage(), 0, 0, 1, 1, false);
try {
pg.grabPixels();
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
return icon;
IndexColorModel cm = (IndexColorModel)pg.getColorModel();
int trans = cm.getTransparentPixel();
if (trans == -1) return icon;
return new ImageIcon(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage(new FilteredImageSource(icon.getImage().getSource(),new TransparentColorFilter(cm.getRGB(trans), color))));
and the call is
ColoredImageIcon c = new ColoredImageIcon();
Color cc = Color.RED;
ImageIcon newIcon = c.makeColoredIcon(myIcon, cc.getRGB());
where myIcon is an IconImage.
Where is wrong? I need to create a new ColorModel with no transparent pixel?

Any ThinkPad with discrete or switchable graphics will work...T400/500, R400/500, W500/700...make sure that you're not getting the one with Intel integrated GPU and you'll be all set...
FWIW, even T61/p with discrete GPU will run this with no sweat...
Hope this helps.

Can anyone help me display the calendar list using an iphone4 with iso 7.1.1? I have already tried tapping the magnifying glass and that doesn't work.

That icon allows for the calendar month to display with the appts for that month below. I want to see only the list of appointments without the month displaying. I use to be able to get that display but since the last update tapping the magnifiying glass doesn't work.

Anybody having trouble pasting texture into the opacity masks box in the transparency window?

Very frustrating, works sometimes, sometimes doesn't. When I cut and paste the texture into the "black box" in the transparency window it doesn't copy and appears white on my document.

this is what I should get in the newest illustrator, but this was done in CS5 - I'm familiar with this process... just don't know why it works sometimes in the newest illustrator and sometimes it doesn't, it's frustrating.

Why can't I change the transparent color and font color in IOS 7?

Who thought all this WHITE AND TRANSPARENT color looks appealing?
Why can't I change the color of the folders and text?
I already tried inverting the colors and then it washes out the photos I use as my wallpaper.
I love everything, so far, except this transparent issue.

That's very sad those colors can't be changed. They really look ugly.
Thanks for responding.

30" Cinema and 24" IMac displays won't display the same color

I have a 30" Cinema Display on my Mac Pro and I am using a 24" iMac. I calibrated both monitors with Eye-one-Match3. I am using the same color profiles in Corel Painter and Photoshop and I am still getting different color values in my file. On the iMac the colors seem a bit darker and more saturated than on my Apple Cinema Display. How can that be?
Any help would be appreciated

Sounds like a video card issue.

Deleting color in saved color boxes below the color wheel

I have not found the correct keyboard or mouse click combination to delete a selected color that I have saved to the small boxes below the color wheel in Keynote. Can someone please advise me. I am using the current version, 3.0.2.
dual G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Welcome to the forums, solarray.
If you drag any of the small colour boxes onto another, the dragged colour replaces the original. So, if you have any white boxes in your colour wells, simply drag those onto the coloured wells, and the colour will turn to white.
Note that this colour palette is not specific to Keynote, but is system-wide in OS X. Because of this, you can establish colour sets that you can use across various applications (any that use the OS X colour picker).

How can I get scripting access to color values in the indexed Color Table?

Hey all,
I'm relatively new to Photoshop scripting, but I've just finished a script that helps my fiance with some very tedious tasks related to textile design.
The last issue that I'm having is that the image I start with is indexed and has a very specific Color Table pallete ( 2-12 colors max + black and white, so 14 max total, sometimes as few as 2 ). Part of my script, I create a number of color chips and fill them with black currently... What I'd like is to be able to get a count of the colors in the Color Table and put the actual color values as hex into an 1 dimension array, so that I fill those black chips I've made with the actual colors from the Color Table.
( I don't know if it makes a difference but I'm converting the image to RGB mode at some point in the script, and back to Indexed Exact ).
Can anyone please help me do this? Needs to be compatible with CS5 and CS6 ideally.
Thanks!!

Cheers for that, your code works but what had thrown me was that the collections appear to be empty - so I hadn't actually tried retrieving one, I just assumed I was looking in the wrong place.
So if I do this in my Immediate window:
App.Current.Resources.Count
0
Yet when I request it, I get one:
App.Current.Resources["TitleTextStyle"]
{Windows.UI.Xaml.Style}
     base {Windows.UI.Xaml.DependencyObject}: {Windows.UI.Xaml.Style}
     BasedOn: {Windows.UI.Xaml.Style}
     IsSealed: false
     Setters: {Windows.UI.Xaml.SetterBaseCollection}
     TargetType: {Name = "TextBlock" FullName = "Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.TextBlock"}
Looking at the resources object itself, I get similar apparently empty collections:
App.Current.Resources
{Windows.UI.Xaml.ResourceDictionary}
     base {Windows.UI.Xaml.DependencyObject}: {Windows.UI.Xaml.ResourceDictionary}
     Count: 0
     IsReadOnly: false
     Keys: Count = 0
     MergedDictionaries: {Windows.UI.Xaml.DependencyObject}
     Source: null
     ThemeDictionaries: {Windows.UI.Xaml.ResourceDictionary}
     Values: Count = 0
