Color changes slightly after filling in selection

I have a transparent background, new layer set to normal. I go and set my foreground to the color #000124 and fill in the layer. Using the eyedropper the fill color in the layer is #00011d. Why? Any thoughts on what I could possibly be doing wrong and how to correct it?

You are working in indexed moded and it is quantising to the next available color in teh color palette. Switch to normal RGB and turn off anything that would enforce "Web Safe Colors" (a feature, which by all means is irrelevant these days, anyway and should die sooner than later).

  • Objects (mostly text boxes, etc.) change slightly after uploading

    Hello!
    I am a novice Muse user, and love how easy it is to use - but I've noticed what I think may be a glitch with the rendering of text boxes once they're uploaded. When I am in design mode, all of my items are one size and perfectly aligned, but when I preview or upload, some items resize and and end up "off".  I've uploaded screencaps of my site in Muse and on the Web to show what I mean. See how the second content box on the live version is slightly longer than the other three? According to design mode, all four of those boxes are exactly the same width and height, but they render differently when uploaded or previewed. 
    I'm wondering if this is due to responsive resizing when a scrollbar is added in preview/web mode? And if so, how can I fix it? I've already tried adjusting the text in that box. I haven't made the others larger to match it because when I'm in design mode it all looks fine, and I'd have to do trial and error fixing for something that seems like it should be simpler.
    Any info is appreciated!

    I may have discovered a work-around for this fatal bug. Make sure that the area-type object is the top most object in the layer order, or if you are working with multiple type objects, that each type object is in its own separate layer. It seems this bug is most prevalent when the selected objects are in the same layer, and the area-type that is selected is below other selected objects.
    I was able to simplify the process of re-creating this bug down to one text box and a rectangle. First, create an area-type object and put some text in it.. Second, create a rectangle. Then, while the rectangle is still selected, use the shift key and direct-selection tool to select the left edge of the area type object. Finally, with both selections active, start moving them and watch the type disappear!
    I noticed that if I change the layering order of the type-object, to where it is above the rectangle, then moving the selections, the bug goes away. Also, I found that if I needed to move the selected edges of several area-type objects at once, I could do so, as long as each type-object was in its own layer.
    For the amount of time that I have spent on this bug, Adobe should give me the next version of Illustrator for free. Heck, Adobe should give everyone that has to use CS, a free upgrade.

  • Using cs6, I've tried filling a selection that I've made using "select color range" but the new fill gets diffused and transparent in places

    Is there a way of turning this "color range selection" into a normal selection?

    Yes
    With Color Range there can be stray partially selected pixels all over the place. It best to first make the color range selection and with the selection active switch to the rectangle marquee tool and hold the Alt or option key down and clean up the stray pixel by subtracting large rectangle areas.  You will stall have partially select pixels in the area you want solid.  You can use a trick I use when I work on layers mask.   Layer Mask are grayscale channels.  When you paint with Black and White  with the brush blend mode set Overlay the white and black areas are protected.  Only the gray partially select area will change. So You can save your cleaned up Color Range selection as an Alpha Channel and paint with white to turn the partially select pixels in the Alpha channel to fully selected.
    To show how the overlay mode works I could just have saved the color selection as and Alpha channel. Switched to the Channels palette targeted the alpha and cleaned up the selection.  I chose to show that overlay blend will even work in RGB mode when you paint Black and White.
    After I cleaned up the stray pixels I added a an empty layer on top om the image and filled the selection with black then inverted the selection and filled with white to create a Black and white work layer.  Grabbed a black paint brush set overlay mode and repeatedly brushed over the image and drove the gray pixels to black.  View screen capture in a new browser tan ans scale it to actual pixels. This sits scale upload images poorly.

  • 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.

  • Background color change question - only selecting the footer

    I use the darkroom theme and was curious about changing the page background color. Right now my settings use the darkroom theme 'right out of the box' which is 'image fill' on both the page and browser background. That is the textured look.
    When I try to change the color, selecting 'color fill' instead of 'image fill', it only changes the footer - not the entire page background.
    I'm guessing it's not possible to change a color using the 'image fill.' You get 'image fill' in black or gray as shown and that is it, except should you decide to use your own image, which I do not.
    Any way to be able to have a change apply to the entire page and not just the footer?
    Suggestions welcome.

    I tried to do the same just see what the problem was and failed. It is probably 'cos the top layer is independant of the page background or browser background. Even when I had page background none and altered the browser background it made no difference. If you want anything different try using a blank black or white theme and putting your own graphics on there. You can make quite nice backgrounds if you have a decent paint or photo program.

  • Changing the background color of the row of the selected cell in table view

    How can I change the background color of the table row when user clicks on table cell in table view?
    Edited by: a_brar on May 5, 2012 11:12 PM

    You could apply the following css style (by defining a custom stylsheet with the following lines and loading it into your app).
    The last color sets the background color of the selected row while the table-view has focus (in this case to orange).
    .table-view:focused .table-row-cell:filled:focused:selected {
        -fx-background-color: -fx-focus-color, -fx-cell-focus-inner-border, orange;
    }There are quite a lot of subtleties in the css styling for the tableview (e.g. different colors for the selected row when the control has focus vs when it doesn't or when the user hovers over a selected row in an unfocussed tableview), which you may want to cater for when chaning the background color of the selected row in a table view. There is also alternate styling for when the tableview is in row selection vs cell selection mode. So you may want to look at customizing further based on the css styles in caspian.css in sdk/rt/lib/jfxrt.jar if you can understand the complex css there.

  • Color change after exporting from Lightroom

    I noticed a drastic color change after exporting a file from Lightroom to a JPEG file today. I have been using Lightroom for a while, and it never happened before. I am assuming that I changed the setting somehow and I cannot find how to fix it.
    Here is the original.
    After exporting to a JPEG. The color is so drastically different. I tried both sRGB and AdobeRGB and they turn out to have the same problem.
    It is not as clear as JPEG files, but edited files with Photoshop CS5 also looks slightly different viewed on Lightroom.
    I would appreciate it if anyone could help me.  Thank you so much for your help!

    Thanks everyone for looking into my problem!
    >Can you upload a sample of each
    >* Raw File
    >* XMP Sidecar
    >* Exported JPEG
    I somehow can't find XMP sidecar files in my folders.... So instead, I exported the JPEG file to the 2nd JPEG file, hoping you can compare those two JPEG files.
    The colors get lighter and lighter every time I export the files. I uploaded those files (RAW, 1st JPEG, 2nd JPEG) on line. I also changed the file samples from the original post because I can't add watermarks.
    I checked my flles, but there is no preset applied to the JPEGs.
    I am thinking of unistallng Lightroom and reinstalling it and see what happens.
    Thanks!

  • Whenever i use pencil tool after completing the fig. the color change ............

    I am new to adobe flash cs3 . whenever i use pencil tool after completing the fig. the color changes to green .. even though the box indicates black  color ..

    See if you have outline mode selected for that layer, or if you have it set for the file.
    For the layer look at the last icon on the layer, the small square icon.  If it appears as a solid it is not in outline mode, if it appears as an outline of a square, click it to change it to be solid.
    For the file level, in the main toolbar choose View -> Preview Mode -> and make sure Outlines is not selected.

    For the sake of clarity and to save people time, Todd is asking about the behaviour of the Patch tool when using it to repair the area next to the young lad's head.  Todd gets a blurred dark tone pretty much regardless of the options he uses.
    IMO that's what I would expect to happen because of the close proximity of the other image elements i.e. the lad's neck and the strong lines of his shirt.  I would not choose to use the Patch tool in this situation.  Content Aware Fill makes a better stab at it. 

  • Highlighting the text by changing the "character fill color" with double-spacing?

    Highlighting the text by changing the "character fill color" doesn't seem to go well with double-spacing.
    Has anyone been aware of this issue?
    Try double-spacing the text you highlighted. What's up with this?
    This is so annoying and frustrating. I've been trying to do both of them for like 2-3 hours.
    You CAN do both, of course, but if you double-space the highlighted text, it just creates this huge highlighted part (it highlights the space between the two lines!) below the actual text.
    Anyone help me pleeeeeeeease.

    In Pages v5.2.2, taking Baskerville Regular 12 pt, and double-spacing it with character fill color does produce a nasty effect. With View > Show Rulers, I looked where the lines of text lined up on the vertical scale.
    Then I changed the Spacing selector from Lines to Between. Now, just the text had the character fill color, but the line height had increased visually downward. With the between setting, line height is changed to points, and indicates 27 pt. If you adjust this value to 16 pt, the second line of double-spacing will realign with where it was before the between change, while retaining discrete line character fill color.
    Before: Spacing set to Lines, and 2.0 - Double.
    After: Spacing set to Between, and 16 pt

    It is pretty short so here is the entire text:
    Symptoms
    A purplish or other colored flare, haze, or spot is imaged from out-of-scene bright light sources during still image or video capture.
    Resolution
    Most small cameras, including those in every generation of iPhone, may exhibit some form of flare at the edge of the frame when capturing an image with out-of-scene light sources. This can happen when a light source is positioned at an angle (usually just outside the field of view) so that it causes a reflection off the surfaces inside the camera module and onto the camera sensor. Moving the camera slightly to change the position at which the bright light is entering the lens, or shielding the lens with your hand, should minimize or eliminate the effect.

  • Fully filling a selection with certain color

    Hello!
    I'm trying to fill a selected region using Edit -> Fill...
    However, pixels at the periphery of the region are not changed to the desired color exactly, but a lighter/darker one.
    Is there a way to replace every single pixel inside a region with a certain color?
    Thanks!

    He/she means when making the selection.
    Feather should be 0px, Anti-alias should be unchecked.

    I try to insert some images on a website but the images are not in the right color mode. I do not know what to do? and also I have 1200 images to insert so I can not change one after one. So I need to set up an action, but I donot know how to do it... Thanks

    What is the problem specifiaclly?
    If the images are intended for web use I would recommend converting them to sRGB which could be done with Edit > Convert to Profile or with File > Save for Web, but as including a Save step in Actions and applying them as Batch can sometimes cause problems I would go with regular converting.
    You could also try Image Processor Pro.

  • Why do filler colors change when the orientation changes?

    Hi, I'm working with a template but don't like the colors of the fill boxes, so I have manually changed them.  I've noticed, however, at least when look at a proof that when I change the orientation of the iPad, the filler color reverts to the original.  The color change screws with the styles.  Anyone else have this problem?  Any fixes?

    Thanks for your reply.  I was fuzting with the "book" again.  It was the simplest -- and therefore easiest to modify stylistically -- template, which was supposed to work in both orientations.  I created it in landscape.  Last night I reallized that when I changed the orientation when working in iBook, if I applied the color change to the boxes [again], the color change stayed when viewed in either orientation. 
    BUT I also saw that the box placement in the portrait view is "wrong."  It covers part of one of the headlines.  While I have changed the headline font manually [not via paragraph styles, which I am finding difficult to manipulate], I have not moved the text.  It is where the template placed it but simply using a different font. 
    Thanks for any insight you might have.
