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.

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:
www.mortonbuildings.com/Two-Stall.aspx
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

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. -
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);
}; -
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 ?
AmberThat 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.

If you want to change a color of a stripe...say pink, light green, light blue to a totally diferent color scheme can it be done??? I know that you can use the hue sat. and slider but all that does is change the hue of the existing background. I'm doing digital scrapbooking and want to pick up exact color from a photo..I know you use the eyedropper..Is there a way to incorporate that color in a multi background.
Also is change to target an option in PSE 3?? I know it is in Photoshop. Someone had suggested I try it. Not even sure as to how to use it.Terri,
Here are 2 ways to change color.
Using Hue/Saturation:
1. Select the area you want to change.
2. Enhance>Adjust Color>Hue/Saturation
3. In the Hue/Saturation dialog box, adjust the Hue slider.
Optionally adjust the Saturation and Lightness sliders.
Note: Instead of step 2, you can add a Hue/Satuation adjustment layer. This will enable you to go back later and make further adjustments.
Using Replace Color:
1. Enhance>Adjust Color>Replace Color.
2. In the Replace Color dialog box, use the Eyedropper to select the old color in the image (this color will appear in the Sample box).
You can also sample with the Eyedropper before invoking Replace Color, in case you want to sample from another image first.
3. Move the Fuzziness slider until only the old color area is white.
4. Adjust the Hue slider to get the new color.
Optionally adjust the Saturation and Lightness sliders.
Note: Prior to step 1 you might want to roughly select the area to change so that you don't change other areas in step 4. e.g., if you just want to change the red balloon you don't want to also change the red dress!

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?
- BDAlright! 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.

How do I change the JPEG image size in PSE-12 when opening from RAW
Switching from PSE-9 to PSE-12. When a JPEG image is opened RAW in PSE-12 the size is 18.72" Wide x 12.48" high 300 DPI. The same image in PSE-9 is 23.4" wide x 15.6" High 240 DPI. How do I get PSE-12 to open the image as in PSE-9?
Uncheck the boxes at the bottom of the dialog Scale styles and resample Image so that only constrain proportions is checked. If you the change the resolution box from 240 to 300 you will get back to your original dimensions.
This is a meaningless thing to do, you still have the exact same number of pixels, you have only changed the metadata number in the file for ppi, and your prints are not affected by this number.
You could also use the same method to change the dimensions to 6 x 4 or 9 x 6 etc.
There are some cases (actually most cases) where you need to CROP the photo to change the dimensions, when the aspect ratio of the original photos is different than the aspect ratio of the final photo; the specific case in 99jon's example is the only case you ever want to change dimensions using Image->Resize->Image Size, where the aspect ratio doesn't change from 6x4 to 9x6 (or 12x8 or 18x12 or ...), and even then, you could do the same thing simply by telling the printer the size you want, you don't really need to do anything in PSE. -

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.
StefanNothing 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. -

Can anyone tell me why this picture changes color when I try to download/upload it? It is the exact same picture I have taken from the same location. The image on the left is via preview and the image on the right is what is shows like when I try to download it. I have emailed it to myself and it shows fine on the computer and in CS4, but when I look at the download via my phone or on another computer it shows the wonky color on the right. I have checked the color space shows RGB/8 bit. Any ideas why or how to fix it? It isn't with any one specific session.... and I've tried it on both my desktop and my laptop- saved image to an external hard drive and to drop box. I've tried sending the image to canvas on demand, my email, mpxipro, POST editing- all the same result. Please HELP!! What am I doing wrong?
Most of the time you see something like that. The image in question has a color profile other then sRGB. Some image viewers/displayers are color managed and others are not. So the image do not look the same in all of the applications you use. So colors seem to change.
Try converting it to sRGB color and see if then looks the same all around. Also I think PC and Mac displays are set to different gamma something like 1.8 and 2.2
Though I'm colorblind I even see color variations. -
How to change color of selected label from list of labels?
My Problem is that I have a list of labels. RowHeaderRenderer is a row header renderer for Jtable which is rendering list items and (labels).getListTableHeader() is a method to get the list. When we click on the label this code is executed:
getListTableHeader().addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter()
public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e)
if (e.getClickCount() >= 1)
int index = getListTableHeader().locationToIndex(e.getPoint());
try
if (((ae_AlertEventInfo)theAlerts.values().toArray()[index]).ackRequiredFlag)
AcknowledgeEvent ackEvent = new AcknowledgeEvent(
this, (ae_AlertEventInfo)theAlerts.values().toArray()[index]);
fireAcknowledgeEvent(ackEvent);
((HeaderListModel)listModel).setElementAt(ACK, index);
catch(Exception ex) {;}
Upon mouse click color of the label should be changed. For some period of time ie. Upto completion of fireAcknowledgeEvent(ackEvent);
This statement is calling this method:
public void handleAcknowledgeEvent(final AcknowledgeEvent event)
boolean ackOk = false;
int seqId = ((ae_AlertEventInfo)event.getAlertInfo()).sequenceId;
if (((ae_AlertEventInfo)event.getAlertInfo()).ackRequiredFlag)
try
// perform call to inform server about acknowledgement.
ackOk = serviceAdapter.acknowledge(seqId,
theLogicalPosition, theUserName);
catch(AdapterException aex)
Log.error(getClass(), "handleAcknowledgeEvent()",
"Error while calling serviceAdapter.acknowledge()", aex);
ExceptionHandler.handleException(aex);
else
// Acknowledge not required...
ackOk = true;
//theQueue.buttonAcknowledge.setEnabled(false);
final AlertEventQueue myQueue = theQueue;
if (ackOk)
Object popupObj = null;
synchronized (mutex)
if( hasBeenDismissed ) { return; }
// mark alert event as acknowledged (simply reset ack req flag)
ae_AlertEventInfo info;
Iterator i = theAlerts.values().iterator();
while (i.hasNext())
info = (ae_AlertEventInfo) i.next();
if (info.sequenceId == seqId)
// even if ack wasn't required, doesn't hurt to set it
// to false again. But it is important to prevent the
// audible from playing again.
info.ackRequiredFlag = false;
info.alreadyPlayed = true;
// internally uses the vector index so
// process the queue acknowledge update within
// the synchronize block.
final ae_AlertEventInfo myAlertEventInfo = event.getAlertInfo();
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable()
public void run()
myQueue.acknowledge(myAlertEventInfo);
myQueue.updateAcknowledgeButtonState();
// here we should stop playing sound
// if it is playing for this alert.
int seqId1;
if (theTonePlayer != null)
seqId1 = theTonePlayer.getSequenceId();
if (seqId1 == seqId)
if (! theTonePlayer.isStopped())
theTonePlayer.stopPlaying();
theTonePlayer = null;
// get reference to popup to be dismissed...
// The dismiss must take place outside of
// the mutex... otherwise threads potentially
// hang (user hits "ok" and is waiting for the
// mutex which is currently held by processing
// for a "move to summary" transition message.
// if the "dismiss" call in the transition
// message were done within the mutex, it might
// hang on the dispose method because the popup
// is waiting for the mutex...
// So call popup.dismiss() outside the mutex
// in all cases.
if(event.getSource() instanceof AlertEventPopup)
popupObj = (AlertEventPopup)event.getSource();
else
popupObj = thePopups.get(event.getAlertInfo());
thePopups.remove(event.getAlertInfo());
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable()
public void run()
// search vector elements to determine icon color in main frame
String color = getColor();
fireUpdateEvent(new UpdateEvent(this, blinking, color));
// Call dismiss outside of the mutex.
if (popupObj !=null)
if(popupObj instanceof AlertEventPopup)
((AlertEventPopup)popupObj).setModal(false);
((AlertEventPopup)popupObj).setVisible(false); // xyzzy
((AlertEventPopup)popupObj).dismiss();
else
// update feedback... ack failed
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable()
public void run()
myQueue.setInformationMessage("Acknowledge failed to reach server... try again");
return;
Code for RowHeaderRenderer is:
class RowHeaderRenderer extends JLabel implements ListCellRenderer
JTable theTable = null;
ImageIcon image = null;
RowHeaderRenderer(JTable table)
image = new ImageIcon(AlertEventQueue.class.getResource("images" + "/" + "alert.gif"));
theTable = table;
JTableHeader header = table.getTableHeader();
setOpaque(true);
setHorizontalAlignment(LEFT);
setForeground(header.getForeground());
setBackground(header.getBackground());
setFont(header.getFont());
public Component getListCellRendererComponent( JList list, Object value,
int index, boolean isSelected, boolean cellHasFocus)
int level = 0;
try
level = Integer.parseInt(value.toString());
catch(Exception e)
level = 0;
if (((ae_AlertEventInfo)theAlerts.values().toArray()[index]).ackRequiredFlag)
setBorder(UIManager.getBorder("TableHeader.cellBorder"));
this.setHorizontalAlignment(JLabel.CENTER);
this.setVerticalAlignment(JLabel.CENTER);
setIcon(image);
else
setBorder(BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.gray));
setText("");
setIcon(null);
return this;
I tried but when i am clicking a particular label, the color of all labels in the List is being changed. So can you please assist me in changing color of only the label that is selected and the color must disappear after completion of Upto completion of fireAcknowledgeEvent(ackEvent);im a bit confused with the post so hopefully this will help you, if not then let me know.
I think the problem is that in your renderer your saying
setBackground(header.getBackground());which is setting the backgound of the renderer rather than the selected item, please see an example below, I created a very simple program where it adds JLabels to a list and the renderer changes the colour of the selected item, please note the isSelected boolean.
Object "value" is the currentObject its rendering, obviously you may need to test if its a JLabel before casting it but for this example I kept it simple.
populating the list
public void populateList(){
DefaultListModel model = new DefaultListModel();
for (int i=0;i<10;i++){
JLabel newLabel = new JLabel(String.valueOf(i));
newLabel.setOpaque(true);
model.addElement(newLabel);
this.jListExample.setModel(model);
this.jListExample.setCellRenderer(new RowHeaderRenderer());
}the renderer
class RowHeaderRenderer extends JLabel implements ListCellRenderer
JTable theTable = null;
public Component getListCellRendererComponent(JList list, Object value,
int index, boolean isSelected, boolean cellHasFocus){
JLabel aLabel = (JLabel)value;
if (isSelected){
aLabel.setBackground(Color.RED);
}else{
aLabel.setBackground(Color.GRAY);
return aLabel;

When i try to open an image in PSE 11 from Windows explorer by choosing "right click" - "open with Pse 11" the editor starts but does not open any file. This was not the case in previous versions of Photshop Elements. Any idea why this behaviour?
..BjornSolved.
After PSE11 installation the image files would open automatically with "Adobe Photoshop Elements 11.exe" and not
"PhotoshopElementsEdtor.exe" I changed file association to the correct program and it works fine.
I have been running PSE sins since version 06 but first time i can reon. having to do this change.
(Raw files however open correctly even pointing to the "Adobe Photoshop Elements 11.exe" no change necessary)
