Color Mattes only resize proportionatelly

I am trying to create a simple green rectangle, but this has proven a herculean feat. After much research as to how to make a color layer, I created a green color matte in the project assets area and dragged it in. Now, it doesnt let me simply resize the shape to make it thinner. It only lets me rezise proportionally as though I was holding SHIFT. How can I make a simple gree rectangle without having to add a "mask" effect? Also, when I am creating my Color Matte, it doesnt let me use the eye-drop color pickker to choose a color from my project. How can I make the color matte a color I choose with the eye-drop color picker tool?

Something for you to consider for your Color Matte color matched with a color that is part of another image on the Timeline.
Given you have a photo on the Timeline. The photo shows a red rose whose red color you want to capture in a Color Matte from Project Assets/View/New Items/Color Matte.
Photo on Video 1. Side by side the Color Matte (any color).
Select the Color Matte clip and, from fX Effects, drag the effect Image Control/ “Color Replace” into the Color Matte clip.
Then, with the Color Matte clip selected go to Applied Effects Tab/Applied Effects Palette/Color Replace Panel expanded. (Keep away from the Setup icon on the Color Replace Panel.
Keep the Color Matte clip highlighted, and move the Timeline Indicator to the left to be on the photo clip which is NOT SELECTED.
Important: At this point, the photo is not selected, but the Timeline Indicator is positioned on it so that the photo is displayed in the monitor. The Color Matte is selected so that the Color Replace Panel expanded is visible to the right.
With the mouse cursor, left click once on JUST the eyedrapper for the Replace Color option in the expanded portion of the Color Replace Panel. Move the mouse cursor (which presents as an eyedropper) over to the red rose on Edit Mode Monitor screen. Click on the red rose.
Take a look at the resulting color for the Color Matte. How close did you come for a color match?
After that you can use the Color Replace Panel's Setup icon to fine tune with a check mark next to Solid Colors and adjusts from the Sensitivity Slider.

Save for web color shift - only on images smaller than 150x150px

I'm getting a color shift only on small images (150x150px or smaller) when I save for web in Photoshop CC and CS6. That's very weird as it doesn't happen to images larger than 150x150px! That issue happens with images with different measurements as well (e.g. rectangle), the small looks dull and the larger display the right color.
My Color Settings are set to "Monitor Color". Under save for web I have the following options not ticked: Embed Color Profile and Convert to sRGB. (viget.com/inspire/the-mysterious-save-for-web-color-shift)
I'm running the OS X 10.8.4 on a macbook pro, I tested that on both, Safari 6.0.5 and FF.
The squares in the screenshot were saved exatly the same way. The largerer displays the right color #FFCB32, but the smaller displays the color wrong.
I appreciate your help.
Cheers

Need to mask a color matte

Hi all,
I'm (re) learning Premiere (CS6), transitioning off of FCP 7. In FCP 7, I constantly used the color matte feature, made it black, 70% opacity and added a soft focus to it (shown below).
I do this to draw attention to an area of the screen I want the viewer to focus on (usually software demos highlighting a feature).
In Premiere, I've gotten as far as adding a black color matte with 70% opacity. That covers the entire image with the matte. Now how do I cut through the matte? Scale Height/Width changes the matte itself, but I want to do the reverse, like the photo below. In FCP mattes can be scaled horizontally and vertically, producing the desired effect, below.
I'm still learning this tool, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

There are many ways to skin this cat. For nice straight lines like your example, try this:
For the purposes of being able to see this better, I created a green (0,0,255) matte to put on the sequence fist.
Create a title. Draw a rectangle that takes up approximately one third of the frame. I used a rectangle that is 1280X240. Set it to be 70% black.
Copy the rectangle and paste the copy at the bottom of the frame.
Your result should look like this:
When put over the timeline, apply a Fast Blur set to Vertical and 25% or so.
This isn't the best image for this example but it is what I had on hand:
For something a little different, use a track matte made with a title if you wish. With the original on track one and the copy on track two, darken the clip on track two. I prefer to darken track two and reverse but you can darken one if you wish. You can do this with Brightness and Contrast or you can get fancy with color correction.
Create a title with a white circle or oval or whatever, placed over the subject to be highlighted. (Multiple shapes can be combined in the title)
Apply the track matte to the clip on track two. Check the Reverse checkbox.
Simple. Looks like this:
I didn't blur the matte this time, but I could have. This one would be blurred in the vertical and in the horizontal.
Please note that this does not like changes to the Motion Effect. If you are resizing the clip or image, remember to put the matte in a new sequence and nest the new sequence to be used as the matte.
Now, if you really, really want to blur the edges of the garbage matte, apply the Roughen Edges effect, set the border to 25 and the edge sharpness to zero. Max out the scale for more accurate edges.

Free transform a color matte...

Hi,
There's a very simple thing i'm trying to do that's puzzling me...
I'm working on a split screen. On the right, I have graphics. On the left, i have a talking head. THe talking head frame has 3 different sizes that i juggle with.
I'm just trying to create a thin Vertical line that will act as a border between the graphics and the talking head.
I can ofcourse do this by distancing the two frames, but i'd rather have a thin black line i can just copy paste over.
The obnly way i found to do this was to transform a color matte. But even by changing the aspect in the motion tab, i can't get it thin enough. There must be an easier way to free transform a shape, and to do this directly in the viewer no?
thanks for your help...

Thanks David,
Croping is what i'll end up doing. But isn't there a way to change the aspect directly via wireframe in the viewer. Using the wireframe, i can change the scale, and rotation, but how do i unlock the aspect proportions?
thanks

ToggleButtonBar - how to change color for only one button

How can I adjust the skin color of only one person in the photo (Elements 11)

How can I adjust the skin color of only one person in the photo (Elements 11)?
Thanks for your help.

From your question, I assume you know how to do it for all persons :
Menu : Enhance/Adjust color/adjust color for skin tones
So what you have to do is to do the color correction on a layer copy. Concentrate on the person to enhance and ignore the rest of the picture.
When you are satisfied, add a mask to the layer copy and fill it with black.
Set your foreground color to white
In the layer palette, click on the mask icon on the right of the layer icon.
Then use a brush to paint white on the skin of the person to reveal the correction.

Color fill only changes the border with formula cells

Color fill only changes the color of the border with formula cells. It works fine and changes the color of the entire cell with normal, non-formula cells. Anyone found a way around this problem?

Well, that's better. Thanks for the camera icon tip. That did the trick. However, that does lead to another minor gripe. I cut and pasted these parts of the screen shot into the reply window. They appeared and everything seemed in order. But obviously they didn't send. It looked like it was going to work nice and easy - Apple like. But it ended up requiring more steps and clicks - Microsoft like...
Anyway, as you can see, the cell with the RED expired has not filled with black like, rather the black appears on the border.

New Item- Color Matte

Hello Everyone.
Inside After Effects I can apply an Effect Into a Solid. But, we don't have that Solid In Premiere Pro CC 2014.
I used the Color Matte, with Black Color, and I did apply different Effects.
Is this similar like using the Solid In After Effects ?
So, Technically, what would be the different of using Color Matte, or an Adjustment Layer ?
Thanks.

Please make a feature request. I did, because i want a eyedropper for the color matte too.

Adding GIF to Color Matte

I created a color matte with a white background. Now I wish to add a gif on top of that so I can add a title. How do I overlay (is that the right word?) a gif on a color matte? What I am trying to do is create a white background that matches the white background of a gif I will be using for my titles, credits, etc. I have a color matte made in white and I have a gif. How do I put them together?
Thanks!
Marie

Marie,

Job well done, and glad that you got it handled.

we have 1 computer and 2 nook colors. Only able to transfer books onto 1 device. please advise

First, it's protocol to post an issue only once on the forum. You posted
twice....
I read the other thread, and there are a couple of messages being
displayed. So, let me go through them also in this post.
One of the messages was 'no permission to copy here'. That message tells
you that there is copy protection in place for that particular ebook. The
publisher has specified that you can't copy the ebook to another device.
This is digital rights management in action, and there's nothing further
that you can do legally to make this go away.
Another message relates to whether a device was authorized. The process
for setting up an ereader involves going to the website for that ereader
and registering the device. When you do that, the site will download a
small file with that information onto the ereader, and ADE reads that
file when you attach that ereader to ADE. If the device wasn't registered,
ADE won't be able to work with it and gives this message.
We have a small dilemma here. It's much easier to register all of
the ereaders with your Adobe ID, because ADE won't have this problem if
you do. But that's not practical because you want to have each ereader
with its own ID. So, ADE gives you the ability to switch ADE users by
deactivating one user ID and then change to another user ID. That process
is described in the HELP files of Digital Editions.
Don't forget the maximum number of two computers and four ereaders, however.
Hope this helps!

Color Matte Glitch...

I am using the matte color in FCP5 for a music video. I basically am using it to create flashes of color... the problem is when I playback... in the timeline viewer the color either doesn't appear or it glitches and instead of the color it shows a quick snapshot of a clip further down the timeline.
When I export the video it is basically fine... but there is no way for me to know what the final product will look like because of these glitches.
Any ideas what the problem it?

I don't have an external NTSC monitor... but I might get one.
I don't believe my system has changed prior to this behavior...
This is the first time I have seen this problem but its also basically the first time I have used the color matte in this style.
I will try in another project and see if the problems accur again.
Thanks for the help. Heres the clip I am working on.... The places that I have problems with are where the red flashes at the title text and towards the end with the white flash and the yellow flash...

I bought a second hand Macbook Pro and colorful stud
Only after a few months I decided to reformat it
Bad movie started here I did not get it with a disc and I come to install the operating system
And he asks the name of Apple's user ID financed had been bought Lion OS Now
And who sold me does not answer then I found the phone number of his mother
She said he lived in USA and paid him more than the lion version of the MacBook and now I can not install Lion
And I'm not from USA

Unless you go back to the original owner, yes you need to pay for it again.
You're entitled to the OS that shipped with the device from Apple, but if you don't have that media there's nothing you can really do. If the system originally shipped with 10.7 or 10.8 then when you boot it to Internet Recovery, it will automatically offer you that OS version (as the serial # is registered with Apple). If it shipped with an older OS, then you need to enter the Apple ID that purchased 10.7 or 10.8. You didn't purchase it so that's not you.
The options you have are to buy Lion for $29 US (I don't know the price in Palestine), or Mountain Lion for $19 US (don't know the price in Palestine either), and install from scratch.
And it's a good idea to know you have restore media before you reformat your machine.

Color swatch ONLY shows gray shades on gradient layer...?

My color swatch seems to be defaulting to only shades of gray on a gradient layer, and I simply cannot figure out how to get it to change to the color I have selected. After I create a new gradient fill layer, when I have the layer selected in the list of layers on the right side of the screen, the color swatches show ONLY gray. If I click on the swatch, it brings up the color picker, but no matter what color I select, the swatch shows shades of gray. If I select the background layer, it goes back to showing my color.
There is probably a simple explanation to this problem but I have been searching Google for literally hours without finding an answer. Other similar questions I have found have the response of "Go to Image, Mode, and make sure RGB is selected." Mine is already set to RGB, so that's not the issue.
How do I change the colors of a gradient fill layer, and why does my color swatch show only gray shades when I have the gradient fill layer selected, even though clicking the swatch brings up the color picker?

To change/edit the gradient color(s), double click on the Gradient Fill thumbnail in the layers panel
Then in the Gradient Fill dialog, click just to the right of the word gradient to edit the colors
In the gradient editor, click on one of the color stops at the bottom of the gradient bar and click on Color to change the color of that stop
There is a lot more to the gradient editor than room to explain on the forum, so you might check out the following to learn more

The reason your color keeps showing as grayscale, is the layer mask is always active with adjustments layers in photoshop elements and layer masks are grayscale

Color PDFs only print in Greyscale

I'm having trouble getting colour PDFs to print correctly. No matter what printer settings I use I only get a greyscale rendering on the printer. It looks fine on screen. Other apps print in color on the printer OK. I'm not sure when this problem occurred, it worked OK with previous versions of Adobe Reader up to about 3 months ago.
System here is: Windows XP SP3, Adobe Reader 11.0.3, Canon MG3150 Inkjet multifunction device.

No, I made sure that all boxes for grayscale were unchecked. Checked or unchecked it prints the same.

White color matte renders out grey in VLC?

On the right side is how the video displays in Premiere cc 2014 and on the left is how it appears in VLC. Looks almost like there's some alpha information in the video but there's no alpha channel in h.264 as far as I know. What's weirder is if I play the video in Media Player it looks like it does in Premiere. Anyone know what's going on here and to get the white matte background to playback white in VLC?
thx,
Jayson

Yep, but i understanding that !
-> with my crappy tweak :
By "uniform" i want to say : white a "less grey" with my settings, but there are other color shift on each videoplayer, yes.
exemple : "my clients" don't see the difference or dont think its a big issue. On vimeo white are straight to white but grey a little, and in youtube its pure white.
They dont see the diffenrence before i notice them of that. And i recommand to them the youtube solution with no crappy color tweak an no Nvidia setting to set. (Nvidia solution is complicated for them... They are affraid about the first judgement or their client if there is grey and white like first post in topic)
Its a crappy way, i know its not litterally uniform, as i say : "trying to give an "uniform". I trying by this way to give the "illusion".
I think my method is not a good way its just a workaround for client how want VLC and vimeo final viewer (vimeo have the same issue)
-> with nvidia solution :
I agree with you at 100% for this tweak is risky and crap and in the future have the risk of find other majors issues by this way.
Nvidia solution is the only for have a perfect same a source.
Nvidia solution is the better solution yes, and we do not have to put multiple effect to "try to be straight" as the original non modified footage.
Thank for your time and your answer.
But i search a definitive answer about that : Is the issue of the first post reveal a problem in my workflow, or its only and only an crooked video player issue
Sorry for the different misintepretation, i am not english good speaker/writer.
