Changing colors of effects

Hi , I am adding text and effects (outer glows) to an image and would like to change the color of the glow and I have no idea how to. I'm using Elements 10 . thanks for any help

I figured it out
you just double click on the "fx" in the layer and the window comes up with the option to change the color and other options

Luminosity issue when changing colors

I want to change the color of a building when I use the color change brush the color looks really washed out IE dark red looking pink. It will correct to the right color if I first use the color brush set on luminosity and then use it set to color but I loose the texture of the building. It is changing the picture more than the color is there another way. Thanks

You might look into a technique called frequency separation. This would separate your texture and color into two layers so you can change color without effecting the texture. Here's an example:

Analog for 'Change Color' effect

Hi everyone.
All my digital photovideo gadgets incorrectly reproduce blue and relatives colors - they become lighter.
This problem is solved by 'Change Color' effect (in a Photoshop the similar filter works the same way).
But painfully slowly it works without any acceleration. I didn't find any other solution for adjustment of specific color (to make blue with shades more darkly in this case).
Perhaps somebody has any experience or any thoughts in this respect?
Perhaps the single way is the fast processor?
Thanks.

Here's another way:
Apply the effect to an adjustment layer, and create a mask on the adjustment layer to define the area that the effect should affect.
Since you're new to After Effects, I strongly recommend that you begin here and work your way through the basic learning resources first.

Changing color without modifying existing items.. problem!

Hello,
I'm reletively new to flash, and am trying to modify a template and am running into a problem and I don't seem to know why Flash is acting so strange.
I am going into a movie clip to edit the color of an item, and when I do so with a tint, it overrides any additional effects such as light, and text. The color appears almost as if it were just slapped on top of everything.
When I edit the color in advanced mode, it is really a hit-or-miss to get the correct color, and will only modify when changing the offset RGB.
And also when doing this, the text gradually changes color, for example: there are 4 items in total that I want to edit the color of. Each item is a different colored box with text on the front (for a main Navigation of the website). --- The first item, the text will stay white. Gradually through the second and third items it starts to change, and by the fourth / last item, the text is completely blue.
Is it possible for a portion of text to be connected somehow to an object within the animation in a movieclip? If so, is it possible to go inside and edit this? -the shape, animation, and text?
Is there an easier way to change the color of an item inside a movie clip? I can supply additional information if needed.. files etc.
Am I doing something wrong / completely missing something?
Thank you very much in advance for any help and/or advice!
New Flasher,
Lisa

go one level deeper than the movieclip so you're editing the shape.

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
Clement

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.

How to change color in BEx Browser?

Hello Friends,
How to change color in BEx Browser?
My browser shows all the report description with pink color. I want to change the color.
Please let me know.
Thanks in advance.

Hello Bhavin,
It seems the patches for BW Add-On are being kept pretty much in sync for 6.20 and 6.40 (i.e they seem to be released at around the same time, even that the patch level numbers are different).
However, at BW Add-on Patch level 4 on a SAPgui640 machine, we didn't have the "pink font" problem.
It may be that BW 3.5 Add-On patch 6 will have a similar effect for you - it may be worth trying.
Here is the link to the BW3.50 patch 6... https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~swdc/012002523100000108232005D/bw350_6-10001615.exe?_ACTION=DL_DIRECT
The patch 6 referred to above is for the BW3.50 Add-On - the SAPgui patch is typically a different number (the 11 that you mention is the SAPgui patch level).
Best regards,
Pat M.

Color correction/effects when working with long clips

Hi,
First time poster!
I'm a beginner with Adobe Premiere Pro 5.5. I'm using it right now to do some color correction on badly produced DVD's in my film collection! I was wondering if it is possible when doing color correction effects on a clip if you can apply different effects to different parts of a clip. For example - At the beginning of a clip, the scene is really bright, but, some 30 minutes later, the clip is really dark. Is it possible to darken the beginning and lighten the ending? How would you folks deal with a situation like this? Would you edit the film down to smaller parts? If so, how would you go about that?
Thanks for the help!
Howard

Howard,
Welcome to the forum.
Along with Jon-M-Spear's suggestion (the one that I use most often too), many Effects can be Keyframed, so that they change over time. However, this does take some time, and can involve a lot of fiddling.
If you have a long Clip, and know that you will be adding the same set of Effects, but just with different attributes, you can do one of two things, and both rely on Jon-M's method:
You can create an Effect Preset, and apply that to all of your Cut, let's call them "sub-Clips," even though that term has other meanings, so be careful when using it. Then apply that Preset to all of those sub-Clips. Then, tweak each application of the Preset, as is needed for the individual sub-Clip.
In a similar fashion, you can apply all necessary Effects to the first of your sub-Clips, tweak for it, as is necessary, then Rt-Click on it, chosing Copy. Now, Select all of the rest of the sub-Clips, to which you wish to apply that set of Effects, Rt-Click on them, choosing Paste Attributes, and then tweak, as needed.
A variation on the above would be to apply the Effects to the origianal Clip, and THEN make the Cuts. Go back and tweak each individual sub-Clip.
Good luck,
Hunt

Change the background effect in Launchpad on Yosemite?

As posted below. You could do this in Mavericks with Control+Option+Command+B and cycle through 4 different effects. This key combination has no effect in Yosemite's Launchpad. Has it been changed, or removed?
http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/152899/change-the-background-effect-in- launchpad-on-yosemite

Hi, yes, I clicked the box that I wanted to change the background in. I made sure that the correct box was selected and not the text box on top of it. Then I clicked Fill on the top bar and selected the color that I wanted to change it to. I only wanted to change the color in certain boxes - I didn't want to change the entire background of the newsletter template. I hope I explained this ok

Change colors, in detail

I found that selecting a high contrast Theme is the only way to change some details of each of the different colors (Hyperlinks, Disabled text, Selected text, etc.) of a window. When a high contrast screen is selected, I can search for "change
color" and select "change the color of your taskbar and window borders" and I'll get to a "Color and Appearance" screen that is not available for any non-high contrast theme. However, even this added ability to customize the
screen colors falls far short of complete control.
My custom Yahoo! page looses the text coloration differences to show stocks that are going up (green) vs. going down (red). I also seem to have very little control of Outlook coloration. As I am on my PC for most of every working day, I need
the ability to provide good contrasting colors on all my window screens. I am disappointed that Microsoft has not fine tuned this feature by now. Most everything else about 8.1 I like quite a bit.
William Fearn

You're no longer allowed to customize the colors to the extent you used to be able to do so. Microsoft has reduced our ability to make the desktop easier to use by configuring or "theming" it with something more pleasing than the (IMO)
fairly broken theme they provide. I personally find the loss of drop shadows tremendously reduces utility.
I believe it's a plot by Microsoft Marketing to try to get people to dislike using the desktop so that they can get more support for Metro/Modern.
It ain't working!
There are folks who have figured out how to "hack" the OS to enable better theme support, and one who's even re-implemented the Aero Glass effects. Some of them hang out at
msfn.org. These things can be employed to make it easier on the eyes (I've managed some improvement).
As far as Outlook 2013 / 365 goes... There's little hope, since even a theme replacement doesn't affect it. The Office team rolled their own UI, probably to help their Marketing department out. On the Microsoft forum elsewhere
is
a thread with something like 700 responses from people who claim their eyes are bleeding from trying to use the latest version of Office. Most claim Office 2010 was far better.
Here's the really disturbing part: Microsoft isn't releasing stuff by accident. They're actively making the desktop harder to use - on purpose. And their marketing is trying to turn it into an "Emperor's New Clothes"
situation with concepts/terms like "digitally authentic" and "skeuomorphism is bad".
Yes, it stinks for those of us who work with the desktop day in and day out. You're not alone. But you won't find many folks who'll stand up and agree with you, because pragmatism is not
fashionable.

Change color to won't work

So I rendered a c4d scene, and in it was a tilted plane with the default material on it if you say "create new material". I noticed that the more tilted it was flat, the more gray it appeared, and the more it showed to the camera, the more white it was, so I figured i'd try to fix it with change color to in after effects, however it will not work and nothing happens. if I change the change hue to change hue and lightness, I see the desired color I want in the background, but it completely messes everything up. I need an answer ASAP so any reply on how to fix the gray plane thing in cinema4d or my change color to would be appreciated.
Thanks
Edit: Extra info
I have cinema 4d studio r14
Up to date After Effects CC
Quicktime is installed
Im on Windows 7

Well, no offense, but you seriously should read the C4D help. That's normal specular shading behavior and it is uniform acroos the plane because you obviously haven't defined any scene lights and use the default viewport light. Read up on how to create materials and adjust there properties and then learn the fine art of scene lighting as well as how to use object buffers to isolate objects with multipass renders.

Change color of clothing in Photoshop?

Hello,
There's a nifty filter in After Effects called Change Color, with which you can select the color of a shirt in a photo, for example, adjust the threshold of the color to change, and quickly change the color of clothing, in very realistic way, in one step. I don't see a similar tool in Photoshop. Does anyone know if there is one? Thank you!

If you're looking for penultimate quality, I imagine you'd want to try to select/mask the garment in question with a high quality selection/mask, then do something like a Hue/Saturation adjustment (layer).
Russell Brown's video shows how to use selection and the Refine Edges function, which I'm sure would work with a colored shirt or whatever quite well...
http://tv.adobe.com/watch/the-russell-brown-show/masking-basics-in-photoshop-cs5/
Short of going all the way per the above video, the Hue/Saturation function itself allows you to affect color ranges. Sometimes this can be enough in itself. Depends on the level of realism in the detail you want to achieve.

Looking for setting for multi color circle effect, that i have used with photoshop 11

Looking for the setting for multi color circle effect for photoshop 11. I have used it before, but cant find it again. I was able to change the size of the circle , and only had to pick one color it did the multi color by its self.

Do you mean photoshop elements 11 or photoshop cs4 (photoshop 11)?
Anyway since you posted about photoshop elements 11 before.
Select the Expert Mode
Select the Brush Tool
In the Tool Options under Brush Settings use the Hue Jitter
(select different foreground and background colors at the bottom tool box)

Changing colors globally on multple layers

I have a CMYK file a co-worker did (who's not here no more) with about 10 different layers and a couple of them have the same CMYK color - some layers are boxes and some are type.
I have to change the cmyk value of one of the colors (that are on mulitple layers) to a different value.
Is there an easy way i can select that one cmyk color (instead having to click on them individually) and change the color globally throughout.
I know Indesign and Illustrator have merge swatches - does photoshop have that capability to change colors globally on different layers?
I hope I've made sense of this.

Marie:
The short answer is no, you can't. You're much better off working on the individual layers according to their characteristics.
One way you could globally change the color is use the select... color range function to get a selection of the color you need to change, then create a new adjustment layer... hue/saturation using the color range selection as a mask. Tweak the HSL values to match the new color you need. Any feathered values (say, 50% of the original color) might be ignored.
Another (better) way would be to go to each layer and use the layer effects to add a color overlay effect with the new color. That's the way I'd go about it. It will work with screens. The great advantage to this method is that you can option-drag the color effect from layer to layer, so it is very quick to implement (assuming you know which layers to alter). Command-control click will help you identify which layer has the color you need to change.

Changing color and contrast before capturing analog video?

Is it possible to change color (colorcast / saturation and contrast etcetera) before capturing analog video in Final Cut (software)? I have some old dv tapes I would like to upscale to hd and are considering to upscale via the super vhs outlet / connector on the camera through an I/O box (maybe Matrox).
Do you loose much quality when compared to capturing from DV (digital capture)? I would like to make "a first generation" good capture.....

You would need a capture card and a deck with built in controls, or an external TBC that works with compatible decks. Not every deck allows for this external control.
S-VHS or component out would be lesser quality than straight DV capture via firewire. Via firewire it is lossless...straight digital capture. analog capture is a loss of quality. Capture as DV and then upscale with After Effects or Compressor...or get a DV deck with SDI out and capture with...oh, the Mini doesn't do SDI. You'd need the MXO2 LE for best quality capture. With your options, the best bet would be capture as DV and then use Compressor. Or spring for the Matrox MXO2 LE.
Sorry, good quality costs...
