Changing color of GUI (Photoshop CS4)

Hi there,
I am trying to change a color scheme of PS GUI. My 3ds max colors, mayas ... all programs color is "sand color" such as the ms windows color. HOW can i change menus, toolbars...IN PHOTOSHOP ?? THANX VERY MUCH FOR ANSWER

Well since Photoshop is a professional application and as Robert explained there is not much need for pros to have a GUI that will interfere with color correction. So Adobe has much more important things to fix in Photoshop.
To me this sounds very well.

Change color settings in Photoshop CS4 js

Hi,
I need to set color settings when I save_As my doc. This what I have, but it's not working:
var myFile = new File (myFinalPath);
if (myFile.exists) {
    app.colorSettings.enableColorManagement = true;
    app.colorSettings.cmsSettingsPath = myFile;
Scritp runs without problemes, but color settings remain not set. I do have the setting file saved in myFinalPath location.
Thank you for your help.
Yulia

app.colorSettings returns a string. The contents of that string depends on your current color settings.
You have assigned two meaningless properties to the colorSettings properties. The script runs without errors because javascript lets you create new properties. But the new properties don't do anything unless the script uses them after creating them.
If you are trying to load a colorsettings file you can use this function.
function loadColorSettings( file ) {
     var desc = new ActionDescriptor();
        var ref = new ActionReference();
        ref.putProperty( charIDToTypeID('Prpr'), stringIDToTypeID('colorSettings') );
        ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID('capp'), charIDToTypeID('Ordn'), charIDToTypeID('Trgt') );
    desc.putReference( charIDToTypeID('null'), ref );
        var fileDesc = new ActionDescriptor();
        fileDesc.putPath( charIDToTypeID('Usng'), file );
    desc.putObject( charIDToTypeID('T   '), stringIDToTypeID('colorSettings'), fileDesc );
    executeAction( charIDToTypeID('setd'), desc, DialogModes.NO );
If you are trying to set the document's profile when saving you can use document.convertProfile()

Question about custom color swatches in Photoshop CS4 Mac

Hello.
I have about fifty or so custom color swatches and wanted to back them up. Where are they located in Photoshop CS4 for Mac?
Thank you.

They would be stored where you saved them to.
If you have never had the foresight to save them (Edit > Preset Manager) they would only be in the Preferences (»Swatches.psp«), I guess.

Hi. Did I have to optimize my already optimized jpeg again after coloring it on photoshop CS4??

I only optimized (click on the file part on photoshop CS4 and on web and devices thing) my drawing once into a jpeg, and then I just colored it and saved it on 'save' or 'save as', and I sent it to the video game guys to process into a video game. Am I okay?? Will it still come out ok?? It looked like it came out ok from my email as it was downloadable from it.

Basically, never save your master files in jpeg (unless it's the top quality setting, where you only have -in theory- invisible degradation.
Prefer PSD or TIFF that can save the individual layers, and do not compress the images destructively.
See, for instance: http://www.photoshopessentials.com/essentials/file-formats/

MacBook Pro, dual Monitor color shift with Photoshop CS4, OS 10.5.5

I'm observing a strange behavior: With PS CS3 i could just drag an image from
the laptop monitor to the external Eizo and the color would adjust instantly, with
consistent color (All monitors calibrated, no settings have changed). The same applies to Lightroom
2.0 too. Now when i do the same move with the same image opened in PS CS4 the color does not
adjust to match but stays the same and the result is a oversaturated image on the external monitor.
Any thoughts? Thanks, Mark

It should adjust to the display the same as CS3.
Have you tried turning off OpenGL image display?

Help! Cannot change scratch disk for Photoshop CS4

I know this has been addressed on other forums. I've looked though several of them and followed the procedures and I STILL cannot get Photoshop to open.
I click to open Photoshop and I get this:
"Could not open a scratch file because the disk is not available."
I click OK and I get this:
"Could not initialize Photoshop because the disk is not available."
I've reinstalled Photoshop.
I've tried opening it under Admin user.
I've tried trashing the preferences.
I've tried Shift+Option+Command to open Photoshop.
I've tried Option+Command to change the Startup Disk.
NOTHING has worked. I'm at my wit's end. I'm logged in as a network user but even trying to open it locally doesn't work.
Any ideas?

Thank you in advance.

I had to do an archive and install of my OS then reinstall the Adobe suite.
I then had to run the Licensing Repair Tool (http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/licensing.html)
Now everything works but Dreamweaver, which is throwing the following error:
"Dreamweaver encountered problems while constructing the menus from the current menus.xml file.
Please delete the current menus.xml file and rename menus.bak to menus.xml"
I tried that. menus.bak is a directory, not a file. Even renaming the directory didn't work.

Consistent RGB Color Values with Photoshop CS4: An Impossibility??

What I want is very simple: I want the Photoshop files I am working on and the rendered PNGs in my browser to have the same color values. I don't care if my web images look the same color on other screens or anything like that. All I want is for the screenshots of PNGs my web browser to match the color values I have used in Photoshop. I've had it up to here with color shiftsthis did not used to be an issue in CS3.
Moreover, if I save a file on my Mac, and a color value is, say, #cf4640, I want someone who opens the file on a Windows box to get the same color value for that pixel. Ditto for the images I have saved for the webI want the RGB values to be consistent. This does not seem like too much to ask, does it?
Right now, I have turned all color management policies set to Off, working spaces are all set to Generics, and documents are set to "Don't Color Manage"my Windows colleagues also have these same settings. This used to work as expected in CS3we all got the same color values on the same files, and colors didn't shift when viewed in a browser.
Once again, I don't care if the colors *look* the same from platform to platform or screen to screen. I just want consistent RGB values.
Color management has never caused me anything but headachesleave my colors alone, Photoshop! I really really wish there was a "Work Like Photoshop 4" setting for color management.
Does anyone have any ideas how I might solve my problems?
Thanks very much.
Oh, and, incidentally, I was originally thinking of calling Adobe about this; how foolish of me. I looked into it, and can I just say how fantastic it is that you have to pay extra money for actual first-party tech support on a $700 piece of software?

The sounds/language analogy isn't really relevant to this problem, because it suggests transforming between two entirely different media. One medium: the medium of sound information, to another entirely different medium: the medium of thoughts and meanings. That's something that simply can't be done without an intermediate translation. That's not the case with color transforms in the RGB space, where it's just a matter of taking RGB values and pushing them through a matrix to produce other RGB values. That's the process that messes everyone up and creates all the confusing color output, and frankly it's an unnecessary process. Your assertion that the values in a source image have no meaning without an associated profile isn't entirely true. What if those source values were simply pushed directly though to the display? After all, a display simply renders 8 bits of R, 8 bits of G, and 8 bits of B for each pixel.
I think the original poster has some very valid concerns. Sometimes we just want to set some color values, and know that everybody's display, on every platform, will render those color values the same way. As he said, they may not look identical to the eye, but the values going through that DVI cable will be setting that pixel to the same 24-bit value no matter what. That's how things would be if there were no such thing as color management. That's how things used to be long ago, and in many ways the world of color was far more predictable and less confusing back then.
Here's my vision for a perfect world: color management doesn't exist in the RGB space. None. No such thing. Source RGB values in images get pushed right through to the display. The onus is on the display manufacturers to produce hardware that renders those values as consistently as possible. In the world of print, sure- color management is incredibly useful. But if only we could go back in time and keep color profiles out of our RGB, I believe we'd be much better off today.

Color lines in Photoshop CS4 artwork

Hello.
This is the image I want to color.

If you click the Color patch in the Options bar you can choose your colour from the Picker.
(I'm not sure what you mean with the stripes.)
Note: You need to change in Image > Mode from the indexed colour of the GIF to RGB to do this!

Change layer content in Photoshop CS4

Where it is!?
I search and I search but I don't find it.
Someone can help me?

>And why there is still no dithering option for layer effects?
I'm not sure what relevance this would have for dynamically created effects. By all means, those effects are calculated at the native document bit depth with correct blending, so what would be the point of artificially introducing another level of dithering? This really only has relevance for final rasterization, so I don#t see a requirement for this. If you do:

>Dear ADOBE, check your quality inspection process.
They do. You just have to understand that software development isn't a wishing well where everyone gets his favorite feature. if a feature does not benefit a majority of users or is not requested by a large number of them, then you certainly can imagine that this ends up being very low on the popularity list. and, specific to the matter at hand: As J. Nack probably would put it, you sometimes have to let go of legacy stuff to make room for a better, more generalized implementation in the future, even if it means that in a particular version the feature goes completely defunct and is "skipped".

Photoshop keeps changing color code

When I open the color picker in photoshop CS4 I enter the color code fd02c5. For some reason it won't let me use that exact color and keeps automatically changing it to d54599. It has done this before with other colors.
How can I get it to use that exact color and stop changing it?

Your doc is CMYK and fd02c5 is outside the gamut (available colors) of your CMYK color space. Try working in sRGB or pick a color within the CMYK gamut.

Photoshop CS4 Save as Jpeg optinon Gone

Hi,
My photoshop Save as, option for Jpeg has disappeared.. Any info would be great!

I believe the question has been answered above, except that I think there may be some remaining misconceptions out there.
Really, the ONLY thing you have to do, with CS4 and earlier, in anticipation of saving a JPEG is change to 8 bits per color.
Through Photoshop CS4, if you Save-As JPEG with layers or channels or other features JPEG can't support, the Save as Copy feature is automatically invoked to save a flattened version of your file without the extra stuff.
This allows you to save your file as a JPEG as long as the image is in 8 bits before you hit the File menu. The one thing Save as Copy did not handle was a bit depth conversion.
I normally work with 16 bit per color files. I often would want to save an intermediate JPEG from the file I'm working on, then continue editing, finally later saving a .PSD at full bit depth. Unfortunately, because of the above issue I'd sometimes find I'd forgotten to go back in the History so as to continue editing in 16 bit per channel mode! This is a nasty gotcha!
The really COOL thing is that the Save-As-Copy feature of Photoshop CS5 has now been extended to do an automatic downconversion from higher bit depths to 8 bits. Thus with CS5 you no longer have to worry about changing the bit depth or anything else in anticipation of Save As JPEG. It just works!
I have been submitting wishlist requests to Adobe for this feature since about Photoshop CS I think.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU Adobe for finally implementing it!

Color Labels in Photoshop

Does anyone know if there is a way to change color labels WITHIN photoshop? i do NOT mean labelling a layer or group. I mean labelling a FILE within psd that can be read in Bridge/Lightroom. I know I can tag them there, but I would like to be able to open a group of image, retouch them, then add something in a script that changes the color label to, for example, green, so that when it shows in Bridge/Lightroom, it will automatically show the new color tag.
when you changea color label in Bridge, it has to resave the file completely (which can be an issue with bandwidth for those of us with small servers, not to mention sometime like dropbox or creative cloud which has to constantly upload an entire file each time). If I can add it to the script WITHIN photoshop, it will be a big timesaver too. Same thing with Lightroom - you have to manually SAVE the color tag into the file. I can see it in the File Info of photoshop (it is under ADVANCED).
And for that matter, is there a way to batch script other functions of the File Info, like changing star ratings? it doesn't seem to let me do that either

imagine you could use the marquee tool or a selecting-brush to drag or brush over some background elements, weeds in a field, Mountains, Buildings, Skies, etc.. adding the selected colors & patterns to the number of colors & objects to be removed..
then use the same brush to brush over colors & elements you want to keep, and the values for those colors are stored separately, even if some of the values are the same
then, you drag a brush around the object you want to remove from the photo, where the object meets the background, which must have a start-point, and an end point which returns to the start point..
Photoshop then calculates the location of items to keep as inside the closed brush line, and items to disappear as outside that brushed line
Tolerances can be individually set with an Eye-dropper between a blue shirt sleeve you want to keep, inside the brush mark, and the blue sea, blue car, or blue sky adjacent to that sleeve, outside the brush mark,..
you can add another combination of "Near Tolerances" by clicking "Add a Near Tolerance", then you select the green shoes inside the line, multi-select add, then click next, and click the green grass outside the region.. also additive multi-select
Photoshop then remembers the regions, the colors, patterns, and values, and all the other information you gave it (the only real important thing being what happens directly under the brush line you painted around your object, as it will automatically delete everything outside of that), click "Extract" and the object of your desire is removed perfectly

Color Change Question, Photoshop CS4

Hope I'm clear with this description...
Say, you want to change a background in a given image from a certain blue to a certain yellow and then possibly back again....you're just curious as to which background would look better. Is there a command in Photoshop CS4 which, in effect, makes Photoshop "change color 'A' to color 'B' everywhere it appears in the image"? short of re-painting entire areas with a graphics tablet/mouse?
Thanks...

Try using Image/Adjustment/Replace Color to do this.

Fireworks cs4 batch change color in jpegs?

Is it possible to use fireworks cs4 batch command to change the same background color on multiple jpegs?
Thanks in advance,
Carl

Hey... solved it! Changed the background color in almost 2,000 jpegs. Heres how:
Photoshop CS4, first define a color in an AXT file:
Open test image, image, adjustments, replace color. use eye dropper to sample the background color, bring hue, saturation, and lightness bars all the way to the right (background color now turnd white), click save (save the definition AXT file, you will need to reference it later).
Now create a new action called "replace color", have test image open (with original background that you want to change), start record and do this to record the action:
Image, adjustments, replace color. Click load and select the AXT file, click load (the background color now turns white with the loaded AXT definition). Click ok. save file. Stop record action.
Now run a batch command and use that action you just recorded: File, automate, batch, select your new action in the play section, select the folder of files to process and the destination... click ok to run the batch.
I changed the "background" color in 2,000 estore product images of various sizes (thumbnail, medium, and large sizes) in about 15 minutes. Wow! I knew there had to be a way.
Hope it helps lots of people, 'cause it sure is a common need.
Cheers,
Carl
