Change Color of Image? I need a Mentor!

Hello to all,
I am really needing some help.
I am trying to build a script that will allow a user who visits a website to change the color of a house.
For an example, when a user visits the site they are able to view a picture of a house with a default color of white. When the click on a button "Roof" the user is able to pick from a select number of roof color options.
Same goes for siding, and trim.
This is for a painting site for a family member that I am trying to help. I am hoping with a web presense in this economy, maybe it will turn things around.
What I have seen,
I have seen some sites use shape overlays.
So they take an image, and (I am not sure if it is in Flash or Photoshop) they make a cut out of the roof, then they make 10 copies of it in different colors. For some places I have seen them descibe it at frames for each color. Yet I am not sure how you call upon it on click?
Anyways I am very lost and need a mentor.
Here is an example of what I am trying to do, but with a house:

Thanks for anyones help. If you have a donation site let me know as I am appreciative of any and all help. I have even been looking for a coder to help walk me through this, but no luck finding an expert in this.
Thanks
Chris

Changing color of Image in PSE 8.0

I have a logo design that is black on white. I'd like to change the black to another color - in this case, blue. I wqas able to do it, but it ended up being quite convoluted. What are some simple ways to change the color of a selected area in Elements 8. I'm using a PC, BTW.
Thanks!

Thank you. I found another way that's even simpler. I chose the paint brush, set the mode to lighten, and then just painted over the image with blue - the white didn't pick up any of the blue, but the black did.

1. Select the black (use the magic wand if it's all one color).
2. Layer>New Adjustment Layer>Hue Saturation.
3. Turn on the colorize checkbox in the layers panel, and move the sliders till you see the color you want.

How to change Color of IMAGE Links

Page properties is the only place I can find to change the
color of LINKS. It works for text, but not for the border it
automatically puts around a linked image. It's purple! Can't I make
it white to blend in with the background? I have already changed
all the link colors in the page properties to white and the link
around the image is still purple! Is anyone familiar with this
phenomenon and how to get around it?
(BTW - in case you're wondering, there is no border
specified in the properties or the css style)

Of course, your method will not validate, while Osgoods will.
And his will
work, too, assuming it's properly implemented.

Merging Visible changes color of image!?

using original CS
every so often, like tonight, i've got a file with many layers of hue, bright, color balance, and more. i've gotten it to exactly where i want it, and want to move the whole thing in one piece to another file. so i merge visible. 95% of the time the result is a merged image that is identical to what it was in layers.
but sometimes there are slight but important changes to the color or hue. (flatten image also has the same prob a fraction of the time)
what can possibly be the problem here?

ok, i re-did this operation so it merged the way i wanted it to merge, but still i see differences. but NOT when i view at 100%. i did not know that:
>>What you see when you look at an image at any magnification other than 100% are interpolated pixels and not the actual pixels.>>
this is invaluable info--thank you. still, i dont understand why 95% of the time when i merge visible--at whatever magnification--the image looks the same.

Cannot change colors in Image

Hi All,
I really don't know any further in that problem, it can only be a small thing, but I don't come behind:
I'm creating a JPanel component with its own paingComponent method so that I can draw some things within that component:
JPanel p = new JPanel() {
               Image baseIm;
               public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
                    super.paintComponent(g);
                                Image im = createImage(getWidth()-10,getHeight()-10);
                                im.getGraphics().setColor(new Color(255,0,0));
                                im.getGraphics().drawLine(0,0,100,100); // as an example
                    g.drawImage(im,5,5,this);
          };This always produces me a line, but in black color instead of red!
I tried it also with setColor(Color.RED), and with fillRect, but it is everytime the same: Every color I set to the Image's Graphics component is interpreted as black.
Setting the color directly on the JPanel's Graphics class is working fine, but this is not that what I want.
Has anyone an idea?
thanks in advance
alex,

the "getGraphics" method creates a new graphics object and disposes of the old one. So when you call "getGraphics" make sure to retain the Graphics object returned and use it until you're finished.
On another note, you should probably not create a new image within the paintComponent method every time, just once, like this:JPanel p = new JPanel() {
               Image baseIm;
               public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
                    super.paintComponent(g);
                    if (baseIm == null)
                         baseIm = createImage(getWidth()-10,getHeight()-10);
                    Graphics gImage = baseIm.getGraphics();
                                gImage.setColor(new Color(255,0,0));
                                gImage.drawLine(0,0,100,100); // as an example
                    g.drawImage(im,5,5,this);
          };

Change color background image

Hello,
I am making a flyer and i want to have a background like this.
I have been trying to search for tutorials but can't find what i am looking for.
How do you do this? Or where can i find a tutorial for this ?
Amber

That background is an image. You can do the same thing by adding an image to the page to serve as a background, or you can use a frame filled with a solid color or a gradient fill.

Need to change color of template

I directed a client to a template site and they picked a template that was a PSD (attached) and I turned it into a working website. Now they tell me they want it to be blue instead of the green that it is. I am not sure where to start. I guess I need go to each layer and change the color to a variation of blue. Is there a quick way to do this? I am not even sure how to change colors. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

You do not need to do this for each layer. Just the ones with the color elements of the webpage,and only those that are visible. (eyeball on in layers panel)
When you select the layer,then you go to the Image menu,Adjustments,and select Variations. You can interactively experiment until you find what's best.
My layer thumbnails are large so I can see at a glance what element I'm looking at. Use the Layers Panel menu to get to Panel Options and select Large Thumbnails.
Of course back up that template before loading into PS in case you need to do it over.
That should get you started.

Images Change Colors between monitors while the UI stays the same

Hey! Im having an issue where photoshop changes the colors when I move the window between my monitors, seen here: http://sta.sh/04y5s60vf3j This isnt due to the monitors themselves being different, it actually changes after a few seconds of moving it inbetween the monitors. The left one has been callibrated with a spyder 3 elite which I no longer have access to. I applied the file with windows color management instead of the spyder utility. The second one is new, and it is not callibrated by anything, but instead was done by hand with the built in brightness/contrast/custom RGB settings. Both of them are very close to eachother, enough so for my tastes. but when photoshop changes what the image looks like, it's causing problems. Interestingly enough, when I disable callibration for the monitor on the left, the image does not change colors between monitors, but instead always appears as it does on the right. but then they don't match up and the whole screen looked washed out because it's uncallibrated, so that doesnt do me any good. Another interesting thing to point out, is when this image is saved as a .JPG, and viewed with firefox the image appears exactly like the monitor on the LEFT (which is my main monitor) despite the left monitor being the one that is force changed. does anyone have any suggestions? It also appears that windows photoviewer is behaving the same way, though firefox does not. Meaning when I open an image in all 3 on the left monitor, they look the same, but when opened on the right monitor, windows photo viewer and photoshop both display the image as brighter and redder than firefox does. This is frustrating, because it seems photoshop is changing the image with my callibration on my left monitor to match what it looks like on the web, which it does. but it doesn't do this for the right monitor, or when the left is uncallibrated. Another issue I can see with this is even if the UI is the same shade of gray, the images are different between the monitors because of this change. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Alright! So I reread through all this, poked at some things on the internet, and I'm going to attempt to summarize what would be a good solution for all this (And it seems, it still won't be perfect, but to get myself into the best environment I can for not messing with images for an hour trying to make them look nice before I post them to the web. I painted something yesterday on the cintiq, popped it over to my laptop screen and it just looked washed out and terrible.)
1. Get a X-rite EODIS3 i1 Display Pro, Callibrate laptop and cintiq. I do have the money to drop on something like this, especially if it's a time saver.
     Things I'm not sure about:
          a. There was a ton of complaints about the software not working when I checked reviews, but also a ton that said everything was great. most of them were mac users though.
          b. I'm not sure if problems would still be posed, even while calibrated, by me having a wide gamut monitor.
          c. I'm a terrible excuse for a human being and I think the colors showing up brighter on the wide gamut screen is pretty (I should just make my images this bright on a normal screen and there won't be any issues. >.>)
2. Set Firefox to color manage (easy enough)
3. Change my photoshop working space to sRGB (since they'll have been calibrated at this point)
3. Accept the fact that most of the people who look at my work will be doing so on a monitor that is almost certainly uncalibrated, and I can't control what they will see on my screen, but I CAN control if the colors are -actually- what I want them to be on any properly calibrated device. which is probably the best way to go anyways.
4. Make paintings, have fun.
Now, you two have been going on about all sorts of interesting things in here, and it seems that calibration issue run much much deeper than I ever thought. Do either of you have recommendations for how I should tweak this list of things to do or other things I can/ should do? I'm not currently a working professional, but if I have anything to say about it, I will be within a few years (I'm going to school for illustration and studying concept design on my own time) so it'd be useful for me to get into good habits now.

I need help highlighting an expiration date on my Numbers '09 spreadsheet. I want the text/fill of a cell to change color when the expiration date of an item is within 180 days of the current date.

I need help highlighting cells on my Numbers '09 spreadsheet. I want the cell text/fill to change color when the date is 180 days or less from the current date. I already have a cell with the current date in it. I also know how to change the fill/text colors. All the cells have been formatted to show date only. I am having trouble with the formula. I can get to the Conditional Formatting menu and select "With Dates" but after that I am lost. Can anyone help?
Thank you for any assistance.

Set a Conditional Format rule as shown in the illustration below. The rule has been applied to all dates in column B of the table.

Transparent PSD image in Illustrator changes color of vector background after print.

Hello, I really don't know how to explain this so I'll just upload my files which are located here: http://rapidshare.com/files/4040672260/Green%20circle.rar
I have a green vector background in illustrator and then I placed psd image over it and created PDF for press and under Color bitmap images I selected no compression.
After viewing image in Acrobat all seems ok, I even checked with picker, but after I send this to printer (xerox in thsi case) I end up with this: .
Both .psd and .ai are in CMYK color space. For this particular case I could use mask to cover up that transparent space but my original project has shadows which I cannot mask by vector :S.
Can someone plz explain to me what I am doing whrong or how to set color profiles or whatever is neccessary to avoid this issue. One thing I was using was, opening PDF in Photoshop and flatening all. Problem is that sometimes I need vector files and cut lines for cutter. Don't want to have bitmap, if I can have a vector? Also when I flaten image I do get same CMYK values in photoshop (with picker) than I have in Illustrator on vector object, but when I print this they don't match at all.
Does someone know a solution?
THANKS in advance and sry for my bad english.
Stefan

Nothing worng with your .ai or .psd file, prints fine here. Problem is with your tranparency flattening.
Most likely you can fix that by print >> Advanced >> Custom >.> Move slider all the way towards rasters.
If you need more help, let us knwo your printere, and screenshtos of your print settings can help.

Using the retouch tool, how do you make it change color? The old iPhoto one did, this one seems to be flesh-tone only, which is not how I need it to be. In old iPhoto, used the local color to blend, it was great.

I don't know which old version you're referring to but iPhoto 6's, 7's and 8's retouch tool works exactly the same as iPhoto 9's. The color of the enhance tool's area while applying is a light brown color but the retouch works on any color using the surrounding colors as a basis.

Photoshop CS 5 need help changing color from yellow to red

Trying to change the background image of a webpage in photoshop CS 5.
Can someone tutor me on the proper way to change the yellow on this graphic to the following RGB
R153
G11
B25
Thanks!

Many options …
In this case I would recommend to
• select green channel (command-click it)
• create a Solod Color Layer of the intended color
• go into the Layer Mask (alt-click it in the Layers Panel) and use Image > Adjustments > Curves and hit Auto to get the brightest Pixels to white
• use the Burn Tool set to Shadows to get the lower part to black (which corresponds to transparent)
• create a black Solid Color Layer underneath that
Other options would be a Hue Saturation Layer set to Yellows, a Solid Color Layer set to Blend Mode Color and with a Layer Mask etc.
