Changing the colour of part of an image

This is hopefully an easy one!
I have an image in a menu here (the red 'Supagard' one) that
I need to change the background of from black to the blue to match
the rest of the image :
link here
I've had a rummage, and seen how to change colours by
selecting the area with the magic wand tool, and then using :
Filters > Adjust Colours > Hue / Saturation
But is there away to select a specific colour? (Or I guess
the other way around and check the hue / saturation values for the
blue background?
Cheers,
Iain

The 'Replace Color Tool' (one of the Bitmap Tools) is what
you are
looking for. After you select it you will be able to use the
eyedropper
to pick your 'from' and 'to' colors.

Changing the colour space on a jpeg image for better quality when uploading to a website

When uploading my images to my website the quality and colour of the photographs aren't the same. They lose quality etc. I was told to change the colour space to sRGB or something to make it better. No idea how this works and I'm now not sure what settings to have photoshop on, I don't want to edit my images and then for them to be edited wrongly.
Really need some help, much appreciated.

File > Save for Web. Use the 4-up panel to choose the best quality image with the smallest file size to save on bandwidth. You can test with sRGB enabled. Click on screenshot.

How to change the colours of a vector patterned image?

Hello ,
I downloaded a vector , in both jpg and gif format today. I saved it down in Illustrator as a new swatch.
I was wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to change the colours in that vector/swatch?
As its jpg or gif , i am not sure whether it can be done.
Your help is much appreciated.

Just by way of hopefully-helpful general info:
I am not familiar with .eps....
Both EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) and PDF (Portable Document Format) are "meta formats." They are really not all that mysterous. Just think of them as mere "containers"--locked boxes which can contain any combination of individual vector-based, raster-based, and/or text-based objects. So merely saying you have an EPS or PDF file doesn't really tell anyone what you're actually dealing with, because saying that alone doesn't tell what kind of graphic objects the file actually contains.
Both EPS and PDF exist to "pass through" or "pass between" various softwares and/or devices graphic information which would not likely be "understood" if delivered in the native code of the program(s) which created the actual graphic objects.
Illustrator (like other similar drawing programs) is originally and primarily a PostScript-generating program for print. Both EPS and PDF are deeply related to PostScript. So programs like Illustrator can "unlock" most EPS and PDF files to get at the actual, individual objects they contain.
As already briefly mentioned, JPEG (Joint Photography Expert Group) and GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) are entirely raster-based image formats. They are just different ways to encode a single raster image in a compressed file. Both of them use "lossy" compression algorithms--to minimize the file size, they actually throw away data detail when they can. So they most often actually degrade the original (in what is hopefully "negligible" ways). So think of a JPEG (often shortened to JPG) or GIF as a single raster-based image object. A JPEG or a GIF are just two of the kinds of objects which may or may not be contained within an EPS or a PDF.
So you didn't receive "...a vector , in both jpg and gif format" because neither JPEG nor GIF can contain vector-based paths. JPEG or GIF is often used to serve as a mere rough preview of the contents of an EPS or PDF. In fact, EPS files very often contain a JPEG or TIFF (another raster-based image format) image to serve as a crude substitute preview for programs or devices which otherwise would be unable to display the real contents at all.
I downloaded a vector...
Saying "a vector" is giveaway beginner language. You didn't "dowload a vector." 'A vector' is 'a direction.' You downloaded a vector-based graphics file (but not as a GIF or a JPEG). Vector-based graphics are graphics consisting of mathematically-described curves nowadays most commonly (but not always) defined as cubic or quadratic Bezier curves. Cubic Bezier curves are the kind created by most programs like Illustrator.
So what you downloaded is typical of a stock-artwork provider:
The actual full-fidelity graphics content (objects) in EPS and PDF "containers."
Separate "dumbed down" raster images of the content in JPEG and GIF formats; usually provided so you can use them as temporary place holders or preview references.

What would be the best way to change the color of part of this image? (image attached)

I am on XP using PS CS4.
Please see the photograph below. I would like to change the color of the shirt/apron of this lady & I was wondering what the best way is to do that. I know if I try replace color, the white bowls change color as well. In the past I have isolated parts of images using paths, but I wanted to know if that was the most efficient way. Maybe masking is the answer. I just wanted to hear from the pros
Thank you.

You're welcome!
Refine Edge button is in the options bar when the QST is active.
Refine Mask should be available whenever a mask is targeted.

LR changes the colours of my image?

Hi,
Just got LR 1.0 on my Mac book Pro and when I import an RAW file from my Nikon D80 i can see that after its done loading it changes the colours/profile of the image?? Im not using any of the profiles from LR when importing just the standard import from the camera to LR.
Anyone haveing any idea why this is happening?
Cheers
/ Mikael

You don't think it would be that hard to get ACR to better match the in-camera engine...
I understand if its not able to read the "special" in camera user settings, such as increase saturation, etc as that may be proprietary...
But it (ACR) already knows what type of camera you are using... It would be nice if Adobe would make it at least set to better match the out-of-box camera settings per camera... it would be a much better starting point than the flat, discolored images I see, IMHO.
Example... the reds in my Rebel XT RAW's always come up orange, both in LR and ACR.

How would you select part of a letter/font and change the colour of it ??

for example i want to selct the the letter 'b' and just want to change the colour of the ascender' ( the top half of the b) how could i do this on INDESIGN
like this

Here are a few tips to get started:
(1) When you create outlines, hold down the Option/Alt key when you choose Type > Create Outlines. That will make a copy of the outlines which isn't anchored in the text frame. Move that copy away from the original frame.
(2) Select all the word with the Direct Selection tool and choose Object > Path > Release Compound Path. That will separate the letters from each other so you can work with them (it also fills in the counters (centers) of the letters).
(3) To create the effect on the "T," I selected the letter with the Direct Selection tool (selecting all the anchor points) and chose File > Copy, then chose Edit > Paste in Place to make a copy on top.
(4) I moved the top copy a little (Shift + Up Arrow) so I could select the bottom copy, then I locked the bottom copy (Object > Lock). I moved the top copy back (Shift + Down Arrow).
(5) With the Direct Selection tool, I selected the lower anchor points and deleted them. I filled the top anchor points with blue. Here is how far I got:

How to change the colour of selected item in itemrenderer

Hello guys
please tell me how to change the selected image( which is in itemrender of tilelist).so that the colour sholud be shown within image not its outer part due to renderer.
Thanks in Advance

Currently you cannot, it is a known (and hopefully reported, and at least addressed for next version) bug (or limitation, as they rushed to get the components out before JavaOne...).
People reported they just put an empty text and put a label beside the component. Ugly workaround (bad when the component will be complete) but if it works... :-)

Change the colour of the outer line of a circle

Hello everyone,
I drew up a circle with no fill inside, to show where the location of my highway storm culvert will be.
I changed the thickness of the outer line of my circle shape by creating a stroke effect at layer → blending options → stroke; then I changed the thickness of the line by right clicking in stroke at the layers panel and then choosing "scale effect."
But the problem I have is that the outer line is gray, and I want it to be black.
The outer line was originally red though so I changed my image → mode to grayscale, because I couldn't find a way to change the colour while keeping my image in RGB colour. So I've managed to make the outer line gray by changing the image mode but I still can't change the colour of the outer line to black.
I'm sure there must be other ways of changing the outer line colour without having to change the image mode, but I'm clueless.
Here is my drawing:
The text next to the circle says «Obra de desagüe». That's spanish for "drainage construction site."
You see, I can't change the colour because I have no clue at where the "change colour option" is. I tried going to layer → layer properties, but in there there's only 7 colours to choose from. I chose a random colour, just to see what happens and what truly changed colour was the layer, within the layers panel; not the shape contained within the layer.
So I'm lost here, any help please?
Unfortunately I'm still not an expert in Photoshop just yet.
Thank you for reading my post.

Is it possible to change the colour of the bars in a chart on the iPad?

I'm using keynote for iOS and I'm trying to pick the bar colour for my charts. I understand that the default settings will change the colour for each new series but I have a few charts all with a single series and I would like to change the colours along the way. Below is an image from my presentation, basically I'm looking for guidance on how to make the blue bars into red bars.

Change the colour of the tile dynamically:

Hi,
I have 12 tiles in my application. Depending upon some condition, few tiles colour should be changed and also to the same tiles image should be added. (I'm creating tiles using Border)
Can anybody suggest how can I achieve this?
Thanks,
Santosh

Please close your previous threads before you start a new one.
Also, you have asked this very same question before here:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/b3752b09-2ee2-46ac-a941-dc7baad78110/change-the-colour-of-the-rectangle-dynamically?forum=wpf#b3752b09-2ee2-46ac-a941-dc7baad78110.
Please don't ask the same question twice.
You could use DataTriggers and/or converters to change the property of some UI element based on some condition as already suggested in the previous thread.
Of course you must post your code, or even better upload a reproducable sample of your issue to OneDrive and post the link to it here, for anyone to be able to provide a specific solution.
But note that the forums are not for anyone else to do the entire work for you. You were given code samples of how to use data triggers and converters in the previous thread. That should certainly give you the idea.
Please remember to close your threads by marking helpful posts as answer and please start a new thread if you have a new question.

Put a color generator underneath the image.

I would like to change the colour of bars in a chart without losing the underlying default texture associated with my chosen theme. None of the 3D textured fills offered in "Chart Colors" match the textured fill of the theme. Any suggestions?

I would like to change the colour of bars in a chart without losing the underlying default texture associated with my chosen theme. None of the 3D textured fills offered in "Chart Colors" match the textured fill of the theme. Any suggestions?

Thanks Gary, but no, that does not work. First of all, I can't select each bar individually. When I click on one bar, all three bars are selected.
When I use "inspector > graphic" I have 5 fill options: none, color, gradient, image, tinted image. The default selection for the theme I'm using is image. What I would like to use for my charts is the same image that this theme uses for table headers. It has the same texture as the chart, but a different colour. Using anything but image or tinted image removes the texture from the fill.
I have found I can do one of two things. I can select tinted image from the fill selections in "inspector > graphic" or I can select 2D Image Fills from "inspector > chart > chart colors". The first choice does not allow me to match the table header colour because it only allows me to apply a tint to the existing colour and adjust its opacity. The existing colour has too much influence on the fill, so I can't find an RGB adjustment that will match the table header colour. The image selections from "inspector > chart > chart colors" do not quite match the colour or the texture. Again, I can try to tint the image, but I still can't get it to match and the texture is not the same anyway.
The image I want to use obviously exists in the software as it is an attribute of the theme, but for some reason is inaccessible. The other angle I have tried is to edit the theme, but I can't figure out how to do that either.

How do I change the colour of a PS frame?

I am creating christmas cards and adding photos of my kids onto christmas backgrounds. I am dragging frames from the right hand side but want to change the colour of these frames - can someone please tell me how to do that?
I've worked out how to do it by clicking on the black/white circle and using the hue/saturation but when I go to do that with the frame on the new background, the colour of the background changes instead of the frame. I need to change the frames colour while on the background to get an exact match to what I want (does that make sense???)
Is there an easier way to create a frame for the photos? I also want to create a text box / frame (with the christmas message) with a solid colour background (different to the main background) can anybody tell me how to do that?
An example of what I am trying to do is here http://www.invitations2impress.com/christmas-cards-gift-tags
Thanks in advance )

In a nutshell, you have to simplify the frame layer and erase the interior.
Here are the steps:
Create your background.
Add a new layer:
Drag the frame you want to use onto the editing surface. The frame will come in on its own layer:
Simplify that frame layer:
Choose the Magic Wand Tool and give it these settings:
Click on the interior gray area of the frame with the Magic Wand to select it, and hit your Delete key:
Switch to the Eraser Tool and erase the stuff that's left in the middle:
Select the empty layer (Layer 1 in this example) and use File...Place to place your image on it. The layer name will change to the name of the image. Adjust the size and placement of the image. Your layers will now look like this:
With the frame layer selected, add a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer, making sure to "clip" it to the frame layer. Adjust the sliders to suit:
The final result:

I can't change the colour of linked text?

I have a black background on the side of my web page containing the menu bars which requires the link text to be white so it can be
seen. I also have it set to change to yellow when you hover over it.
The problem is that this setting seems universal throughout the website and I cannot get the links in general text (such as 'contact
us' links, etc) on each page to change colour - they default to white which doesn't show up as the background is also white.
i have tried creating a CSS rule for links in the body of a page but to no avail.
Can I change the colour of links on different parts of the website?
I am relatively new to dreamweaver with little knowledge of CSS, etc but I'm sure this must be possible.

Yes it is possible to have differen coloured links..

How do I change the colour of the navigation button icons?

I was wondering if there are any add-ons or mods for Firefox 25 that would allow me to change the colour of the icons on the navigation buttons.
I'm thinking along the lines of the older style where the back and forward buttons would light up green, reload in blue, stop in red, and home with a white/yellow mix, when they are clickable.
I find with Firefox 25, I get light gray when grayed out, and dark gray when active, which I find is a bit difficult to tell at a glance. I prefer the colour-coded buttons, and was hoping there was an add-on that would allow me to change that in Firefox 25.

Sorry, not getting the second image showing up, even though I uploaded both.
