Change colors of interactive image controls

Hello,
I seem to be having a problem with the interactive image widget in iBooks author. In the software, and under the template I'm working with, i added some interactive image widgetsvwith always-on controls. Now the controls niceley integrate wth the template by adopting a light blue color.
However, when i preview the book on my iPad, the controls are dispayed in black which is, in my opinion, much uglier thannblue for this specific template, do you know how this csn be changed ?
Thank you

I suspect this repsonse is somewhat mis-leading, the code has no effect on the control other than setting its state, although the route is somewhat tedious for the mod.
I would imagine that the control is set up so that the pixels didn't move around when they are being used as controls.
There are nested groups and locks on the controls, which might make the ordering in the cluster easier to manage.
The following should work....... ;-) it did for me
Open your own new VI
Open the main LCD VI
Open the Browse VI Hierachy
Drag and drop the LCD VI onto your own diagram
Create a cluster from the LCD VI's connector
Now ungroup the clusters and unlock them (this is tedious) if you create your own then you could be more imaginative in the structure, I leave that for homework.
Then import a new bitmap (gif) into the control
Now update the modified contol back into the master control
........ Told you it could be done, but I am not sure the pain was worth it.
BUT
Try the alternative control..... with colour settings as well, ANY colour and even some size control.

Changing color of Interactive Image label?

i'm pretty clear on how to alter the title, caption, border of an Interactive Image, but i'm wondering if there is a way to change the color, orientation and appearance (other than font) for the associated labels? any help would be great. thanks!

fabe: i totally get that -- and you're right -- a good designer would understand that the labels shouldn't upstage the graphic to which they refer. to that end, i think that effect would be enhanced if you looked at the default screen and simply saw (unboxed) labels, and then when you clicked opn the text, you'd zoom in and the text might even get a little transparent so the graphic is even more accentuated. i also think it would be cool if you could control the default view of the label (change it's colors, characteristics, transparency, etc) and then when setting its zoomed-in view, you'd also be able to change the label's colors, characteristics, transparency, etc, as well. honestly, i'm sort of relieved to know this isn't possible in ibooks author 1.0 (maybe in 2.0?) because i looked and looked AND looked. btw, the app is INCREBIBLY intuitive -- pretty **** remarkable, in fact. you have done an amazing job, so thanks so much! bob (ps: so glad i waited for a great wysiwyg ibook tool -- and that apple released it. i plan in converting a number of my out-of-print books -- and will be using ibooks author!) http://www.bobstaake.com/page5.shtml)

How to change colors of LCD/VFD controls from SGC-Tek?

Hi Anybody got idea how to change colors of LCD/VFD controls from SGC-Tek?
I have tried but could not. When I try to make myself a nest cluster of clusters of LEDs, I can change colours but I can't do the same thing with LCD/VFD controls.
Please check at LCD/VFD controls

How can I change the color of interactive image label box background.

Interactive image labels are a bit overwhelming in appearance. Can I change the label background color or make it partially transparent? I have tried several things and looked this up on Lynda.com training but no info.

don't know how much this might help but you can change some colors using the Inspector as follows:
from the text menu you can control paragraph and character colors, from the text menu you can control the text color.
hope this helps...

Changing colors of an image in real time

Hi,
I am trying to get an image raw data in an int[] array using getRGB() in order to change the color of the image.
But it is working fine in simulator for any image. if i install it in real device say Nokia 6600 the getRGB() method is not working for large .png image like size (88X57) because the device gets hang while we are using large image but it is working fine for small image.
Pls give me some idea how to use getRGB() for large image.
Following is the sample code
int imageWidth = img.getWidth();
int imageHeight = img.getHeight();
int[] raw = new int[imageWidth*imageHeight];
img.getRGB(raw, 0, imageWidth, 0, 0, imageWidth, imageHeight);Thanks in advance

Use the AI CONFIG to set up your acquisition.
Use AI CLOCK config to set up your timing.
Use AI TRIGGER CONFIG to set up your trigger.
Use AI CONTROL to start the DAQ (use TOTAL SCANS TO ACQUIRE = 0 for unlimited scanning.
repeat (While loop)
Use AI READ with a NUMBER of SCANS TO READ = 0. This tells you the backlog (how many scans in the buffer)
Use AI READ with NUMBER OF SCANS TO READ = to the backlog number from above. (this empties the buffer)
Process the scans received into your image - append to previous data and re-display.
If you are doing a fixed number of scans, add this backlog number to the total done so far, and see if you're done. If you're doing continuous, skip this step.
Wait 100 mSec if you can, 10 m
Sec if you can't.
Loop (until # scans done >= # scans wanted OR Quit button, whatever).
Use AI CONTROL to stop the DAQ.
The idea is that the DAQ operation happens in the background. You just ask how many are available, and then read that many and use them.
You wait 100 mSec to allow the display update to happen.

Hi,
The desired functionality can be acheived by customising the css of the text field. (or any control)
Suppose if the textfield/button declaration is like this.,
TextField text = new TextField();
Button btn = new Button();It's related focus css is as follows (in caspian.css file)
.text-field:focused {
    -fx-background-color: -fx-focus-color, -fx-text-box-border, -fx-control-inner-background;
    -fx-background-insets: -0.4, 1, 2;
    -fx-background-radius: 3.4, 2, 2;
.button:focused {
    -fx-color: -fx-focused-base;
    -fx-background-color: -fx-focus-color, -fx-outer-border, -fx-inner-border, -fx-body-color;
    -fx-background-insets: -1.4, 0, 1, 2;
    -fx-background-radius: 6.4, 5, 4, 3;
}To customize the focus color, you need to define a custom class for your controls, like
TextField text = new TextField();
text.setStyleClass().add("myText");
Button btn = new Button();
btn.setStyleClass().add("myButton");and need to add the css accordingly for your focus color.
.myText:focused {
    -fx-background-color: #E99725, -fx-text-box-border, -fx-control-inner-background;
.button:focused {
    -fx-background-color: #E99725, -fx-outer-border, -fx-inner-border, -fx-body-color;
}I hope the above explanation will help you.
Happy Coding !! :)

Sai Pradeep Dandem.

Cannot change color of png image in AI

I downloaded a camera png image (http://simpleicon.com/camera.html) and am trying to change its color to red (B03B28). But the fill box is not working. It shows like the item is red but it will not change. Can the color be changed?

go back to the download site and get the .svg file--that will open in Illustrator and you can change the color--the only way to change the color with the .png file is in photoshop

Changing colors on an image

hi,
I have a black and white image. Now I want to change all black dots into a different color. What is the best way to do that?
thanx,
Usul

One solution is to use the ColorConvertOp class.
Another is to run through the rgb data manually and reset black pixels to the color you want.

Change color of entire image?

I have a damask flourish design in JPEG format. I want to change the entire color of the design from green to pink. How can I do that? I have an older version of Photoshop Elements 6.0 on my Windows XP machine, but can upgrade to 11 on my Macbook Pro. Any help or advice is appreciated. Thanks.

Changing colors in an Image object

I have an Image objects and want all the red pixels in it changed to blue during runtime.
How can I do that?

ImageIcon oldImage = new ImageIcon("C:\\duke\\t1.gif");
ImageProducer producer = new FilteredImageSource(oldImage.getImage().getSource(),new MyFilter());
ImageIcon newImage = new ImageIcon(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage(producer));
JLabel jl = new JLabel(newImage);
// Image filter
class MyFilter extends RGBImageFilter{
public int filterRGB(int x, int y, int rgb) {
    int alpha = (rgb >> 24) & 0xff;
    int red = (rgb >> 16) & 0xff;
    int green = (rgb >> 8) & 0xff;
    int blue = rgb & 0xff + red;
    if (blue>255) blue=255;

User experience: change colors, materials interactively on viewing??

Can an Acrobat 3D give a viewer the options to change an objects color to one of several options, turn on and off options, etc.?
The intended usage is for a product configurator (online or downloadable)
Thanks,

Yes, you can certainly do this. The key is to use the Javascript API. Since I'm not sure exactly how you desire to have the solution work, I'll just post some example code here. If you want to describe further what you have in mind, I can probably provide some more code.
//============================================
//example of using the Keyboard "c" key to change mesh color to red
//get the target mesh
myMesh = scene.meshes.getByName("WHEEL1");
//create a keyboard event handler, and only act upon "c" or "C"
KEH = new KeyEventHandler();
KEH.onEvent = function(event)
switch (event.characterCode)
case 67: //C or c
case 99:
myMesh.renderMode = "illustration";
myMesh.illustrationRenderModeFaceColor.set(1,0,0);
break;
runtime.addEventHandler(KEH);
//inform user
console.println("Press C to change object color to red");

How to desaturate (or color edit) an IMAGE?

I have an image imported to Illustrator. Some of JPG files. Now I want to add to my image desaturation 100%.
Scale of gray, you know what I mean.
But I didn't see an option to edit that image.
When I click this: http://prntscr.com/5kpc43 what means "Edit original", my image opens in... Microsoft Paint!
There must be any option to do that in Illustrator. I can't do this in Photoshop because I would have to do all things from the beginning (scale, rotation, position etc).
Please, help

Thanks to everyone for trying to help me.
1. My pictures are opened by graphics explorers, like IrfanView or standard Microsoft Browser. So I can't do that. Because I don't want after that opening my Image files in Photoshop, no. I want to just edit it one time. I think Illustrator should open my image in Photoshop automatically when I select my image in Illustrator and click "edit image", don't you think?
2. I work mostly on Corel Draw. It'a also vector software but there we can change color of rasterized images.
3. Hey, there must be a way to do that in Illustrator. C'mon, this is not a very heavy, complicated thing to do with rasterized image. I want only to DESATURATE it, that's all. I don't beliewe that default Illustrator can't do that simple thing.
4. Color editing isn't work:
5. The most important. I know that I can do it all over again but I place my object in "create clipping mask". And put this very carefully etc. So I want just edit a color (desaturate a little bit). Instead I would have to delete this, desaturate in Photoshop, paste this in Illustrator, then create a clipping mask again etc. And after that I think "hmmm, maybe desaturation is a little to much, let's see how it looks like next time" and I will have to do this all over again! No way, there must be option to do this SIMPLE action in Illustrator without aby plugins.

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.

IBook author interactive image label: graphic control is locked?

The interactive image lets you adjust the frame and background, but not the labels nor end the point styles! The ability is there but it is locked! Here's a screen shot showing the 'greyed out' control options. Is there a trick to enable the capability? Or is it on the debug list for the next update?

Hello Vita,
When I was last working with this widget and came across the same issue.
The only way to try and control it was by adding in character returns to change the height and to stretch the box out by the handles at the left and right of the box itself. But yes it would be great to have more control over the the parameters.

Nigel

Why does the color red change from working with images in develop to library? The color gets lighter and nothing shows a change on histogram but visually you can see it.

Why does the color red change from working with images in develop to library? The color gets lighter and nothing shows a change on histogram but visually you can see it.

That's probably a broken display profile. The conversion from Library's Adobe RGB is different than the conversion from Develop's linear ProPhoto, so if there's a problem with the display profile it can show up this way.
Recalibrate, or if you don't have a calibrator use sRGB. If your monitor is a wide gamut model use Adobe RGB.
Assuming Windows, change it in Control Panel > Color Management > Devices, and relaunch Lightroom so that it can pick up the new profile at startup:
