Color LiveType Titling Turned Black & White

Pretty new to FCE, but I have an OK grasp of it.
I created a sequence which included several .ipr LiveType files. I decided I wanted to change the font. I entered FCE, right clicked on the media element for the title. LiveType opened up.
The titling used a default transition, and a moving default color texture as a text mask, not a background.
I changed the font, re-rendered and saved. When I went back into FCE, the text was white (background was default black). Previewing in LiveType, the titles are in color.
Is this a bug or have I done something wrong?

If you are just doing it to half of an image, a Graduated filter (perhaps several of them stacked) with a rapid transition break and 100% desat would work.
Otherwise you could stack multiple occurances of the adjustment brush until you drive all color out.
web-weaver is correct in pointing out this is a job better suited to PS.

How convert a color PDF File to black & white (gray scale...no color)

How convert a color PDF File to black & white (gray scale...no color)??? creative cloud cs6... Acrobat etc

Hi, just wanted to add my 2¢
I've been in publishing over 25 years and live in Acrobat for making my final files. Currently with a newspaper.
This is what we do:
• Tool Panes > Print Production Window
• Select CONVERT COLORS
• Midway down under OUTPUT INTENT, check Convert Colors to Output Intent
• In the associated drop down menu, I choose (because I'm printing on newsprint) DOT GAIN 20% – If you're working on better stock, choose a lower dot gain percentage.
• Click OK – this will convert the file
• Save
Note: this affects the file you're working with. Make sure that you use this method on a COPY if you want to retain the original color version.
I think if you compare my method to the Preflight method, you'll see a tighter contrast and better blacks. I've always felt the Preflight method left continuous tones a little muddy.
Now if there was only a way to add that to ACTIONS...!

Livetype Image turns Black in FCP

Ok,
I've got a canvas (Ovals) from Livetype. I changed it using the color sampler (sampling a color from a clip in my FCP timeline). The Livetype canvas plays just the way I want it. I import it into FCP, and it just displays black. If I import into FCP with the standard blue Ovals canvas (not changing color using the color-sampler), then it will display the canvas in FCP.
The biggest confuser for me here is that this worked fine, and I made a DVD and Quicktime of this project for my client ages ago. I am now trying to work with the files exported to a hard drive by media manager. For some reason, the Livetype files have quit displaying in FCP (as described in the first paragraph). Oh, it was actually transparent until I turned off the alpha channel on the .ipr clip in the browser.
Any thoughts or advice would be great,
Lawrence

I am having the exact same problem. Although, in my case, it worked fine the other day, the Ovals lower third bg came in to FCP fine and played etc. Today, I made a change to the title, and then back in FCP once it reset itself, the bg is gone. The titles are still showing, but no bg.
I think it might be the latest version of LiveType too. I had created a project awhile ago using the Ovals lower third, I changed the colors and it worked with no problems. Then recently, I went back into that sequence to change something, and it wouldn't show up anymore. So strange. Luckily, in that case I could copy paste the already rendered title from an older version of my sequence and that worked fine.
If you've found anything new out, i'd love to know the work around. It is quite frustrating.
I'll try trashing my preferences too, just in case that does the trick.
Thanks,
Jenn

Covert color pdf to a black & white

Does anyone know how to convert a color pdf into black and white? We're having some space issues on our server and have some documents that were scanned in color that we would like to convert to black and white to reduce the file size. I am using Adobe 8 Standard. I've tried printing the document to the Acrobat Distiller and choosing black and white in the print options, but it still prints it in color.

Have you done a search of the forum? There have been a few topics on this in the last few weeks.
There are options in PDF Optimize that some have tried to use and there is also an option under TOOLS>Print Production that has some options along this manner.
I have found that the conversion to B&W does not always seem to work as you have found. These other options might help. Bill

Color footage exports as black & white

I am using Premiere Pro CS4 on an XP machine. The footage is color. When I export the footage it is converted to black and white. I have tried different export settings, exporting as .mov and .avi. Why would the footage be converted to B & W?

Nest the track with the garbage matte.
See it that will help.

When I place a colored image, it goes black & white. Why?

Pleas advise what settings to change, so the image stays in color when placed.

The file that you're placing the color image into is most like set to grayscale. Chage it to some other color space.

Object with fill turning to white when layered over color bg

I have an object (2 color logo) and when I move it over a colored bg, it turns to white. ?? I have grouped it, selected bring to front but still nothing. In appearance box it shows full color. There is no layer filter on-it says normal and 100% opacity. I have created a second layer but top layer still shows colored item as white unless I have the art board as bg. Frustrated and stumped. Thanks for any insight.

You are welcome, webster.
Good thought!
Or lucky oversight.

How do I order my print in black/white in the updated iPhoto

I have just updated to the new iphoto in Mac OS X 10.9 I am trying to order my color print as a black & white photo. I have gone into the edit/effects area and changed the photo to black & white. When I click on the share/order prints icons, the photo always reverts back to the original color photo. In the older iphoto version, I was actually able to click on order prints, then it would give me a black & white order option. This seems to no longer work this way. I must be missing something obvious, but I cannot seem to figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Doesn't seem to be as user friendly as the previous iphoto version. Thank you.

You are right - the "Order Prints" dialog does show the B&W version as a color photo.
That looks like a bug to me.
As a work-around, while you are waiting for a bug fix:
Use File > Export to export your B&W version to a folder and reimport the version.
Then try to order prints for the reimported version. That should show the photo in greyscale only, like this.
Send feedback to Apple, to let them know, that this needs fixing. The form is here: Apple - iPhoto - Feedback

Printing now in black & white

I have an HP Deskjet D1520 connected to my Airport Extreme base station. It was working fine, but recently (not sure exactly when this started) color printing has failed. Now colors print only as black & white (like faint greyscale).
I connected the printer directly to my laptop and printing is fine, so it seems to be an issue with going through the Airport Extreme. Could this have been caused by a firmware update on the base station? It looks like it's running version 7.4.2.
Any suggestions would be helpful.

I am pretty sure I have run across this issue before. Unfortunately, I cannot find the citation right now. If I remember correctly, HP considers this normal operation.
For the DeskJet D1520, try the DeskJet D1400 driver from the HPIJS package found at _http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/MacOSX/hpijs_.

How find Black & White of PDF page

Hi Andi,
I need to find color used in the PDF page. I need to isolate Black & White(Monochrome) PDF page from color PDF page.
I have found two methods, but both are very complicated & has less accuracy in identifying Black & White(Monochrome) PDF page.
1)Rendering PDF page to bitmap. And looping through the color of the bitmap. The Bitmap obtained after rendering have shades of gray color due to this black & white PDF page is identified as color pdf page.
2)Looping through the PDEElement of PDF page. Getting color space. Resolving color space to get RGB color value. This method is complicated as there too many colorspace which pdf supports. Getting RGB color value from all the color space is a difficult task.
It will be gr8 help if u suggest any simple method to identify Black & White PDF page in PDF document.

If you do not want to programm anything you can just use the plugin part of the itexttoolbox. Tools->Various->IdentifyColorPages.
For java webstart installation go to
http://itext.ugent.be/library/itext.jnlp
It uses the first approach you described.
Best regards

Can anybody say why In the layer menu the background color is white when opening a layer mask, and why does it automatically turns black by simply opening the layer mask properties menu? The vector mask is white anyway.

Colored Pictures Turning Black and White in Certain Files (PSE 9.0)

Hey guys, how's it going?
I'll try to keep this breif, but it may take a little while to explain. I've been getting a problem with PSE 9.0 where an image or layer that is in color suddenly turns black and white when I paste it into an open file. It's a lot easier to explain with pictures, so here you go.
Figure 1
Figure 2
(Before anything else is said, I would like to point out the reasoning behind relating a middle-finger, a hammer and sickle, and a pony from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic into a single image; it's a parody project I'm working on. It's about 30 times weirder out of context, trust me.)
As you can see, the source imagery with "APPA JAK" on it (figure 1) is in full color, but when I pasted it onto the layer with the hammer and sickle, it turned black and white. This has become the same with a few other images I have found, but I couldn't find any reliable way to recreate the problem. The problem is also the same weather I find the pictures from the internet, copy those to my clipboard, and paste them or simply paste them from my computer.
If you need any more information (dxdiag, settings, etc. etc.) feel free to ask, and thanks in advance for helping me!

Just a guess because I don't have the original images to play with, but the hammer and sickle is a grayscale image so images posted into it become grayscale.
Use Image / Mode / RGB Color to change the target image to color before pasting anything into it.
Alternatively, use File / New to create a new image that is full color and paste everything into it.
