Changing the Color of an Object in Elements 4.0

Neither of the two methods documented in Elements 4.0 to change the color of an object seem to work on my object. It is a fleur-de-lis that I extracted from a PDF an artist made for me some time ago. It's now black and I want to make it gold. What am I doing wrong?

The first is to select Enhance, Adjust Color, Change Color, select the color to be changed with the eye dropper and the color to change to in the bottom window. Then select okay. Okay. In my case, nothing happens.
The color replacement command doesn't work on pure black or white.
If the design is black over white, try using a solid color fill and one of the lighten blend modes.
How?
Sample the gold color you want and have it as the foreground color chip. Add a solid color adjustment layer over your black and white design. The color should automatically be the foreground color in your tool box. Since should have changed this swatch to the desired shade of gold, it should be gold. Now, for the magic. If you change the blend mode of the solid color fill layer to "lighten", "screen", "linear dodge", or "lighter color", the black will be replaced by your gold.
Note: I'm not sure which if any of the Elements versions includes the "lighter color" blend mode so if you can't find that one...don't panic.

How can I change the color of a object inside a symbol?

Hello!
I'm working on this study and I need to change the color of an object inside a symbol when I click another object.
The object is called "bola", wich is inside the symbol "ponto" and the clicking object are the colored pencils (each pencil should change the color of the symbol's object, giving the impression you'd selecting a different pencil to draw).
I think it's simple to understand what I mean when you see the files.
I already tried this line on click event of the pencils, but it didn't work:
sym.getSymbol("ponto").$("bola").css("color","#123456");
Anyone knows how to make that work?
I would like to improve the experience of drawing as well. I made it with the "mousedown" event. Is that a better way to get a similar effect?
My files
Thanks a lot,
Clayton F.

Ok here is another sample:

You need to create a var that changes the css background color..
Hopefully you can understand what I did...
The text I left showing so that you could see it change...
I updated the files and all colors should work now.

Why can't I change the color of an object?

I am having trouble with the color brick. I can't change the color of an object, at least not like described here: http://http://thedigitalstory.com/2012/12/easily-color-changin.html.
Some background:
1. I am working with RAW files.
2. I have RTFM.
3. I have consulted three books I own on Aperture.
4. I have searched the web for help, which is how I came across the link above.
5. I am using the color block correctly, but I can only achieve a subtle shift in the change of very pale colors. This is despite adding up to three additional color blocks to try to increase the degree of change, but there is no way I am coming close to being able to change a blue car to purple, let alone to red (this references the link above.)
Others must have experienced this, I would think. Any thoughts on what I might do differently to achieve more dramatic results from the color block? I don't even have a specific change in a specific image that I'm asking about—I just want to master the software so that I can do so when I need to. Come to think of it, there is a specific change I want to make in a image. Now it's really an important question!
Thanks,
Ben

Thanks, Léonie. A quick way to move any slider to its extreme is to click on the value in the Value Slider and drag all the way left or right. This is much faster than side-stepping all the way to the far limits.
I think the example the OP (Ben) is trying to emulate is misleading (given the sophistication of the Digital Story poster, deliberately, and wrongly, so). The car in the original photo is just about the only blue object (and thus pixels) in the image used to demonstrate that one can change the hue of objects using Aperture. Aperture excels at global adjustments and adjustments made to _imprecisely_ bounded areas. (This is, contrary to one's expectation, one of Aperture's great strengths: imprecisely-bounded tone and hue shifts are perceived as "natural"; precisely bounded ones look "artificial". Most photographers (as opposed to graphic artists) wish to retain the illusion of a natural world inside their pictures.) The only reason the hue-changing trick works with the car in the photo is that the Color adjustment effects only the car because it is the only blue object in the photo (there is a bluish TV in the background, and a bluish logo on one of the displays in the background).
The point is that while object-specific hue-shifts can be made with Aperture, it is not the program of choice for this kind of editing. A graphics package, which allows for much more control over selecting pixels, is recommended.

I can't change the color of an object past a certain point, it returns to original color

Two problems/questions: Opening a file in photoshop cs4 today I noticed that all my folders were labeled as "pass through" (first time seeing this) and when I click the color icon box of an object in the layer pallete, it will not change the color past a certain point. To clarify, I have previously made an object or layer using the pen tool and filled it with a certain purple. Now I want to go back and make it a brighter purple. So I double click the color fill thumbnail in the layer and the color selection window pops up. I click the top right color of the area (which happens to be the brightest color) and press ok, but my object stays as the original color I had made it before. What is the reason for this?
Eric

»Pass Through« indicates that Adjustment Layers will affect lower Layers outside the Group and that contained Layers with different Blend Modes will affect Blending with underlying Layers outside the Group accordingly.
If you change it to Normal or any of the other Blend Modes everything contained within the Group will basically act as one flattened Layer and Adjustments only affect the Group’s pixel content.
Could you post a screenshot of the document with the Solid Color Layer’s Color Picker and the Layers Panel visible?

How do I change the color of an object from a primary color to 2ndary (brown or black)

How would I change an object's color from red to black, I change the color from red to blue using the change to color effect, but for some reason I am unable to change it to brown or black or gray or another basic color

Neither brown or black are secondary colors. Well, brown could be considered a rather desaturated orange...
Anyway, that's neither here nor there.
You can use the Hue/Saturation effect. Help page on it here: After Effects Help | Color Correction effects
You simply pick a channel and adjust the channel range to only select the colors you wish.
Here's a tutorial: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-photoshop-cc/shifting-colors-with-huesaturation/
Going to (or from) white or black is nearly impossible no matter what effect you're using and is not recommended.

Pages, change the color

I have no idea why but I am having problem changing the color of some objects in Pages. I have a rectangle and I click on it and it highlights it but when I try to change the color, the color circle changes but not the rectangle. I don't get it, I have changed things before. Any ideas? They are the menu cards for my wedding in a few days and I am freaking out
Thank you!

Celia,
Sorry you're having problems with this. After I read your email, I inserted a rectangle into a blank document, clicked on the Graphic inspector, selected Color Fill from the menu, then clicked on the color swatch. When I clicked on the color wheel, my object changed color. I then tried it a different way, using the crayon icon. I clicked on a crayon, and again my object changed color.
Try using the crayons. Click on one of them, and if the object doesn't change color, click in the color swatch, then drag the color to the object. See if that works.

How Can I change the color in a 3d object?

You can change the color of model parts dynamically at runtime using JavaScript, but there is no way to change them within the embedded model itself.

You can't. You can't individually set the properties of just one array element.

How can i change the color of the text on a button in Roll Over or Click state (Cs5.5)

Hello,
Here is the problematic:
1° How can i change the color of the text on a button in Roll Over or Click state (Cs5.5)
- I've many button in a doc im creating
- the color of the buttons is white with black stoke & black text
- in roll over state i want them to inverse the color coding (the text white & bottom black)
- currently the text becomes invisible as black on black cant be seen (ive stroked it white but that looks ugly)
- i would just like to know if there is a function made for this?
My other questions:
2° Ive a presentation on which Ive created buttons which tigger pop-up animations
- i have 5 buttons which trigger animations
- the viewer can chose to Click on any of the buttons randomly
- the problem is once the animation is open how can it be close... either:
a) by it self after "40" seconds
b) when ther viewer clicks another button
3° Ive created buttons linking pages..
- "go to page xxx"
- when i do a preview and click on the buttons the links dont take me to the right pages
- is that normal? (maybe in preview its suppose to be like that)
4° I would like to intergrate YouTube videos in the presentation so they play inside the docment.. when i tried.. it said the 'link isnt a flash video'
- what should i do?
5° Once i export it into Swf. how how can i visualize it? or put it online?
Thank you for your time.

You should setup Object Styles - these can also include Paragarph Styles that can be triggered when the Style is selected.

I'm not sure what you mean - I don't do files with Animations

Does it work properly when you export it to the finished file?
4° I would like to intergrate YouTube videos in the presentation so they play inside the docment.. when i tried.. it said the 'link isnt a flash video'- what should i do?
InDesign won't link directly to youtube videos. I think your best bet would be to use Downloader to download the video and embed them directly in Indesign.
5° Once i export it into Swf. how how can i visualize it? or put it online?
Thank you for your time.
You can look up how to embed a SWF file into your HTML - but it depends what you mean by "online" there's a dozen ways to get a file "online".

Change the color of a particular row in a jtable

I have a jtable and i want to change the color of one particular column and few rows to blue and underline the text depending on some condition. In my view class if a condition is true
for( count=0;count<grdTest.getRowcount;count++)
if(some condition true)
grdTest.getColumnModel().getColumn(0).
setCellRenderer(new MyTestCellRenderer(count));
And my cell renderer
public class MyTestCellRenderer extends DefaultTableCellRenderer {
int rowIndex=-1;
public MyTestCellRenderer(int rowcount) {
super();
rowIndex=rowcount;
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value,
boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column) {
super.getTableCellRendererComponent(table, value,
isSelected, hasFocus, row, column);
if(row == rowIndex)
setText("<html> <u> <font color='blue'>" + value.toString());
return this;
This is behaving very wierd . If suppose there are 50 rows and all of them have the condition true then only the last one in the row color is changes.
However if only one out othe say10 has the condition true then it changes the color and underlines the particular row,column.
Is there any other way to do this or what i am doing wrong
Thanks

if(row == rowIndex)Your code is a shambles because of the lack of tags, but I don't believe I see anything being called when this boolean condition is not true. That would be a problem.

Assets panel styles, can i change the color of a style to be an exact color?

Assets panel > styles, can i change the color of a style
to be an exact color? for example, if i want to create a navbar
with the black and gray glass affect style, but i want to change
the color but keep the same style of shading. each style in the
assets panel has a default color, but i want to change the color
and keep the style. i did change the color a little bit by
adjusting the hue and saturation, but i can't seem to get an exact
match of the color i am trying to duplicate. any help is greatly
appreciated thanks

When a style is applied to any object, the Properties panel
at the bottom will reflect the attributes which are editable in
that applied style. The properties which can be edited are fill and
stroke colors also apart from adjusting the Hue and Saturation.
Gradient colors can be modified by changing the fill color.
The nodes in the gradient will change the color from blue to black
or any other intended color of change. If you know the color you
can either enter it as a 6 digit value or you can pick a color from
an existing object.
Hope it helps. Let me know I am missing you query
completely.

HOw can i change the color of a cell

How can I change the color of a cell when it is selected. I select the cell by pressing enter, then I want the text in the cell to change color to red, but all the cells in the table change color. Please I would be grateful for some help

Subclass DefaultTableCellRenderer.
public class MyCellRenderer extends DefaultTableCellRenderer
Override
public Componet getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column)
JLabel lab = new JLabel(String)value);
lab.setOpaque(true);
return lab;
if(isSelected)
lab.setBackground(Color.red);
else
lab.setBackground(Color.white);
Set the columns in your table:
table.getCoulumModel.getColumn(0).setCellRenderer(new myCellRenderer());
table.getCoulumModel.getColumn(1).setCellRenderer(new myCellRenderer());
etc. for each column in your table.
