Change colors in pasted layer

Would like the procedure for colorizing only the layer pasted into an image. Want to adjust colors in the new layer to more nearly harmonize with colors in the rest of the image. The usual adjustment layers want to adjust both the new layer and the host image.
I could paste the layer into a new image and work that way; prefer to work within the target image if possible.
Another option is to make a copy of the raw file, adjust the copy in ACR, then save to PSD, select and copy a portion to become the new layer. Problem with both methods is that the colors are not quite right; at least I have had difficulty tuning the colors in that manner.

You need a clipping mask. For example if you use Layer>New Adjustment Layer>
Hue/Saturation, check the box that says Use Previous Layer to Create Clipping Mask.

Is it possible to change the color of a layer of a Customs CSS from an External Style sheet?

Hi,
I have sucessfully link External .css file to my HTML page and able to change the font size of the headlines and the paragraph.
What I am not able to do is to ADD the color my Custom CSS from the External sheet. I have difined the color attribute as a 'Advance'
and gave it the same name "#bigwraper" that is has in my HTML file.
Attached is the color outline of my 'Blank Layout' with colors?
Thank you.

Hi Murray,
I am building a web site on which the entire content would be changed at least daily. The website would have similar design to www.Helium.com
The page will have CCS layout boxes in which different content would be pasted.
To re-phrase my question: I want to know how to change the color of a layer from an external style sheet?
Because my home page 'Sidebar' and colors would be the same for all page, only the content of different pages would be different. If I want to change a color of my web side pages, I need to learn how to do it in one spot through an External Style Sheet.
I am amble to link my external style sheet and to change H1 tag and to give it different colors. But I was not sucess with change the color of a layer on which my content sits around.
I took out the color from my HTML page and gave the same name to the layer in my External Style Sheet with the same color.
Hope my question and the reason I was able to clarify.
cheers,

Color Balance Adj Layer Characteristics Changed from CS4- CS5?

Maybe some guru with better connections to Adobe knows the answer to this. (or maybe I just forgot).
I just discovered (and I don't think it is pilot error) that the characteristic behavior of the Color Balance Adjustment Layer is different in CS5 than it was in CS4/CS3. (Much stronger in CS4/CS3).
In addition, there is also an associated behavior that is like a buried legacy mode that is not made visible to the user. Here is what I mean.
If I create an image in CS4 with a single Color Balance Adj Layer, I get an adjusted image.
If I open that same PSD file in CS5, the same image is displayed.
If I use the same base image, yet create the Color Balance Adj Layer from within CS5, the adjusted image is different than the prior two.   So the Color Adjustment Layer acts like it has a hidden legacy mode where the characteristics are one type if created in CS4/CS3 yet a different characteristic if created in CS5.
My mind might be slipping (or my cold has the better of me) because I do not remember this as a documented change and I searched the internet for "What's new in CS5" etc etc. I don't remember anything on other forums about this either.
I guess the good news is, the new characteristic of the Color Balance Adjustment Layer is better behaved with a transfer curve with less clipping for highlights and shadows. Very similar to the better behavior of the change of the Brightness/Contrast Adjustment Layer going from CS2 to CS3.
Here are some comparison images.
This is the Layer Stack Used with Base Image of simple B to W gradient with CB Layer on top with just the highlights pegged to red. This is the exact same Layer Stack for all of the images shown:
Here is the first image. This was created in PS CS4 and displayed from CS4 with the conditions show above:
This is the same image from above that was saved as PSD with profile and them imported to PS CS5 with same profile. There was no change:
This next image is using the same base gradient, yet then creating the CB Layer from within PS CS5 with the same parameters, only the Red pegged for the Highlights:
Does someone have an easy answer for this. Can someone duplicate this and confirm the change from CS4 to CS5. A test by someone else would either confirm I am off base with pilot error or there is something to this.
And yes, all the images were sRGB and kept in sRGB for creation/display. All Screenshot images were the images brought up side by side on the same color managed monitor.   All Edit > Color Settings were identical.
Thanks in advance for any help
John

OK, Chris, but before I perform my act of self flaggelation for the benefit for all and my extra embarrassment, let me add in some useful information about the Color Balance Adj Layer that could be helpful.
I was working with another individual who wanted a better understanding the color balance adj layer, what is was exactly doing, how the shadows, midtones, and highlights interacted, and the differences with preserve luminosity checked or not, and also why the preserve luminosity was so hard to predict (e.g. did not really preserve luminoisty).
Without going into the deails of all of that, the tidbit I will leave as far as penance for my stupid original post above is that the Color Balance Adj Layer with the Preserve Luminosity box checked does a reasonable job or preserving luminoisty for the midtone adjustments yet definitely does not for the shadow and highlight adjustments.
An easy workaround for this is to just set the Color Balance Adj Layer Blend to Color which preserves Luminosity of the image presented from lower layers while maintaining the Color as best it can from using the CB Adj Layer (It holds the Hue and does its best to keep the same Saturation yet the Luminoisty from the presented image from lower layers takes prescendence). This does a much better job at preserving Luminosity than using the checkbox option.    I usually use this approach and keep the Preserve Luminiosity box turned off.
The error that I made was during the fairly involved exchange with this other individual, at some point I accidentally set the Layer Mask for the CB Adj Layer to 50% gray and did not notice that it had changed from the default white. Much further down the line, when this other individual could not exactly recreate my results, he mentioned working in CS3. Thinking this odd, I pulled up CS3, created the image from scratch (without the erroneous mask change to 50% gray) so therefore I duplicated his results and did not realize the error was in my original Layer Stack. To make a long story short, I went and checked for differences in all system settings, profiles, Color Settings, opacity settings, Blend settings, Layer Style settings (and their options) etc, etc and overlooked a change in the Mask gray level.       When I quickly flashed back and forth between the two documents/stack it finally popped out at me. Mea Culpa.

My Macbook display changes color when I open applications. It looks like there is a light blue layer over the screen, thus changing the color of my display. This layer goes away when i quit the applications.

I am facing a problem and I am not sure if its a graphic card malfunction. When I open applications like Chrome, VLC player, and most apps, my display suddenly changes color. It is as though the Theme was changed. The normal grey panel on opened windows turns to light blue and everything else seem as though there is a light blue layer on top of it. When I close these applications (quit) the display returns to its normal self.
My MacBook Pro is 2 years old, and I have an extended warranty. Will Apple replace my graphic card if it is actuall the graphic card's problem?

I had that problem, too, and it's been documented both here and on the Adobe forums. What happens is that when you have dynamic switching on, when an application that uses your discrete GPU kicks in, the screen will change color. My problem lasted for a couple of weeks then just vanished.
What you need to do is download Cody Krieger's gfxCardStatus and turn off dynamic switching and leave your GPU set to discrete only. That's the only fix that I know of at this time. I don't know why it happens or why mine stopped.
Good luck,
Clinton

Layer select - change color and stroke

i have r layer , g layer , b layer
i would like to select r layer object all
after that i would like to change color to my wanted color and change stroke
with script ?
that layers have sub_layer
pls , can you help me ?

Good thought. Howeber, I've never created nor applied any Character Styles (or Paragraph Styles)--and I double-checked that in the Character Styles window (nothing is listed).
As someone used to CS3, is it possible to create a style (and later re-apply it) without knowing it, and without seeing it listed? It's a new CS6 feature and I haven't tried it, so I might well misunderstand it!
The only styling I did of the text box is selecting text, changing font size/leading/color, and toggling changing the font between normal, bold, and italic.
Plus, that wouldn't explain why it happens only sometimes and not others, on the very same words in the same text box of the same document; for instance, maybe I'll change one word, and some other word in another paragraph also changes; but later when I change the original word again, the same problem might not happen. It's like it comes and goes, but once a text box "goes bad," issues remain frequent.

Hello, Is there a script that I can change all the colors of a layer in to 1 PMS color, unite every object and than give it an offset of -0,2 mm ?

Hello,
Is there a script that I can change all the colors of a layer in to 1 PMS color, unite every object and than give it an offset of -0,2 mm ?

the offset has to be semi-automatic, apply an Offset Path Effect (by hand), create a Graphic Style out of it (by hand), then the script can apply this graphic style to objects.

Change color of future typed text in a pasted document?

How do I change color of future typed text in a copied document? Thanks. My son is doing online home schooling this year and has Study Sheets that he types in his answers. Currently, he highlights his typed text then chooses the color. Is it possible to auto-format this somehow? Thanks!

Pages relies a lot on Styles. Either you can create a paragraph style with a green text colour or just create a character style with a text colour. Here is an image from a document with several character styles in colour.
In the second image I have instead created a Paragraph style with green text colour. This is the only way you can get a template to remember a change of colour as the default is alway black. To create the styles you click on the small triangle to the left of None (for character style) or Body (paragraph style) and choose Redefine style from selection. Save as Template.
More about this can you read in the Pages User Guide downloadable from your Pages Help menu.

Changing colors on a border and making border wider

I am using Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0. When I choose the ripple frame under effects, it puts a white small ripple around the border. Is there any way to change the rippled border to a different color? Also, is there any way to make the ripple larger around the border? Thanks for any suggestions you may have. I tried the splatter frame but it wasn't any wider.

Cheryl, It can be done but the effect isn't as good as it can be using other techniques. FWIW, I'd just skip down to the other methods. If you're determined to use the ripple frame, Jay Arraich's site has a tut on how to do it. Look for "How do I make the Frame effects in the Effects palette wider on large images?" here: http://www.arraich.com/elements/pse_hhow1.htm#resize_frame You won't be able to use the replace color command on it as the command won't work on black or white. You could copy the enlarged ripple effect into your clipboard then paste it into a solid color fill adjustment layer to colorize it. To do that, you would select<All; Edit<Copy the black and white frame in normal blend mode. Create the solid color fill adjustment layer. You will need to hold in the Alt key and click on the adjustment layer mask. (If done correctly, it the document will go white as you are looking directly at the mask.) Next, you paste (Edit<Paste) the frame you copied into the mask. If the frame is reverse of what it should be then invert the mask...control I. To remove focus from the mask, alt click it again...or just click on another layer in the layers palette. Two quick simple ways to create photograpic edges... Method 1: 1. Create a blank layer over your image. 2. Use brush tool to paint an edge. Try one of the brushes from the "Thick Heavy Brush Set". Method 2: 1. Create a Solid Color Fill Adjustment layer over your image. 2. Turn on your Grid. 3. Use Rectangular Marquee to draw out a border selection. 4. Fill Selection with Black...(adjustment layer is highlighted in layers palette). 5. Deselect before going to step 6... 6. To create the edge effects, run filters on the adjustment layer mask. Note: Only filters that operate in grayscale will work on a mask. (Try maybe Splatter and Sprayed Strokes filters.) There are other methods but these two will get you started...and in my opinion produce much better results than the ripple frame. HTH, Terri

Pasted layer is solid white

Hi all, I am experiencing an unprecedented problem in Photoshop CC (latest version, just updated).
Whenever I'm copying and pasting a photo layer from one document onto a previously created .psd file, the pasted layer appears as a solid white frame instead of the actual photograph.
However, if the copied layer is pasted onto a new document, it works just fine.
I should mention that color profiles of both the source photograph and receiving document are matching and that I've been working with this procedure for a long time, to insert photographs into a previously made template.
Any hints or help much appreciated! Thank you.
Aggie

Thanks for the replies you guys. It's not hardware related Mylenium. My machine was purpose built for AE work and this is a very simple comp that is nothing remotely as intensive as some of the truly complex and effects ladened projects I've done before. It's even simpler than the one in the same project where the other adjustment layer is working properly. The layer is going white before an effect is even being added, so it's not that. I'll double check the OpenGL when I can get back on my machine in a bit, but I never changed anything before changing comps, so I don't think that's it.
I'm guessing that it is probably related to the layer settings itself. There's no 3D layers so it's not that Dave. I'm going to check Rick's idea when I can because the white solid behavior sounds exactly what he is talking about.

Why do eBay item listings no longer change colors after being viewed?

Need some help with a problem – in the past, when I opened a specific listing on eBay, it changed color from blue to red when I got back out of the listing. As of late, they do not change and remain blue. As I do 20-30 music title searches daily, the color change was a real time saver as I could tell immediately when I had begun yesterday’s search as it was now red. Without the color change, I have to pay much more attention and invariably end up searching beyond that point until I realize it. Do you have any idea how I can get back to the color change? Any help would be much appreciated.
Many thanks!

I've seen more posts from people that also have this issue with visited links while using the Back button, so this behavior may be a regression and caused by using the cache more aggressively.
Does opening the link in a new tab work to show the visited state of links?

Hi, My places.sqlite file size is 30,720 KB have I reached the maximum size, is there even a maximum size for this. Visited links are no longer changing color.

Hi,
My places.sqlite file size is 30,720 KB have I reached the maximum size, is there even a maximum size for this.
Suddenly the visited links are no longer changing font color, as I am preparing for an exam I need visited questions to change color, to keep track of questions that I have finished. But if I delete a few days of history then again,a few more visited links change color then again it stops, so it seems something is getting full and not able to accommodate any more? Why are my visited links no longer changing color after a certain number of visits? I do have a back up of the places.sqlite file. So I have tried everything from deleting the profile, uninstalling reinstalling, creating a new profile, then copy pasting places.sqlite etc, but as mentioned after a few visits, visited links no longer change color, if I delete a few days of history then again a few visits will again change color and then stop again, so what should I increase so that my visited links quota is increased, I have also tried tweaking about:config and it has had no result. Although I was not really confident that increasing brower.history_max _pages (don't remember exact name, but I am sure you get the idea) is going to help.
Seems as though my visited links change color, quota is full and only if I delete a few days of history will I get a few more visited links to change color. Can somebody shed some light? As mentioned my places.sqlite file size is 30,720 KB so I think perhaps this has something to do with this? Would really appreciate if someone could help. Thank you.

There is no maximum for the places.sqlite database and other SQLite database files like I wrote above. 
All SQLite database file have fixed minimum sizes and if they run out of space they are automatically increased in size with a specific chunk size. For places.sqlite this is 10 MB for the minimum and for the chunk.

When using quicktime screen recorder, the recording changes colors

Please help me out!! So I've had my macbook air for a while now and I've used the quicktime screen recorder multipul times, but latley something changed. When I go to record my screen everything works fine, and once its finished and I've saved it it's still normal. But once I go to import it into imovie the entire recording turns red, I can still see the recording but everything is just red! Everywhere else the recording looks fine, but its only when I try to put it into imovie that it changes colors. Its never done this before and all of my past screen recordings work fine.
Does anyone know what I can do to fix it?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you

Hello meaganmarie,
I am assuming you have quicktime up to date (10.3)
When recording a game window,
- select quicktime
- go to file > New Movie Recording
- select your game window like a rectangular marquee selection (drag and make a rectangle filling only your game window
- stop when done and save
This way the endtire screen (including youe desktop) won't be seen, just your selected game window.
Regards,

Change color of paths

Is it possible to change the default color that the paths are shown in? I do not mean the actual stroke color but the color of the path tool path itself. I'm working on an image that has similar color to the path and that makes the path very hard to see.

Change the color of the layer. Double click the layer in the Layer Panel and change the color to a contrasting one.

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.

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.
