Color of SOLID layer

Can we change color of our SOLID LAYER after made them?
Without any FX tools?
I made a black solid layer but then I want to change color of it. How to do that? There is no any properities of that layer or something like that. Even when I click 2x on it I can't see option to change selected color.

  • Is it possible to change the color of a layer of a Customs CSS from an External Style sheet?

    Hi,
    I have sucessfully link External .css  file to my HTML page and able to change the font size of the headlines and the paragraph.
    What I am not able to do is to ADD the color my Custom CSS from the External sheet.  I have difined the color attribute as a 'Advance'
    and gave it the same name "#bigwraper" that is has in my HTML file.
    Attached is the color outline of my 'Blank Layout' with colors?
    Thank you.

    Hi Murray,
    I am building a web site on which the entire content would be changed at least daily. The website would have similar design to www.Helium.com
    The page will have CCS layout boxes in which different content would  be pasted.
    To re-phrase my question:  I want to know how to change the color of a layer from an external style sheet?
    Because my home page 'Sidebar' and colors would be the same for all page, only the content of different pages would be different.  If I want to change a color of my web side pages, I need to learn how to do it in one spot through an External Style Sheet.
    I am amble to link my external style sheet and to change H1 tag and to give it different colors. But I was not sucess with change the color of a layer on which my content sits around.
    I took out the color from my HTML page and gave the same name to the layer in my External Style Sheet with the same color.
    Hope my question and the reason I was able to clarify.
    cheers,

  • Solid Layer Shape messed up

    Hi, I am trying to create an energy beam/blast for a project.  I created an ellipse shape on my solid layer but when I try to expand the shape with the pen tool it becomes a rectangle.  I am not sure what I did wrong but here is a screen shot of the problem.   Help would be much appreciated.

    It works as it is supposed to - your solid is simply too small and outside the bounds there are no visible pixels when the mask goes over the edge.

  • Change colors in pasted layer

    Would like the procedure for colorizing only the layer pasted into an image. Want to adjust colors in the new layer to more nearly harmonize with colors in the rest of the image. The usual adjustment layers want to adjust both the new layer and the host image.
    I could paste the layer into a new image and work that way; prefer to work within the target image if possible.
    Another option is to make a copy of the raw file, adjust the copy in ACR, then save to PSD, select and copy a portion to become the new layer. Problem with both methods is that the colors are not quite right; at least I have had difficulty tuning the colors in that manner.

    You need a clipping mask. For example if you use Layer>New Adjustment Layer>
    Hue/Saturation, check the box that says Use Previous Layer to Create Clipping Mask.
    More about clipping masks:

  • Indesign CS4 Pantone color book, Solid Coated giving the wrong color

    I am trying to add a Panton color to my swatches panel. Under Swatches I am selecting "New Color Swatch -> Color Type: Spot ->Color Mode: Solid Coated". What happens next is get a box where I can type the Pantone number I would like ... to the left of this box it reads "Pantone DS". So all of the color choices I might make are not for "Solid Coated" but rather for "DS". I have no idea what "DS" is and it is not what I selected. I selected "Solid Coated". Once again, I am using Indesign CS4 on a Mac Pro ... still running OS 10.4. Can someone please assist me?
    Thank you in advance.

    Thank you for your response. I have checked the pulldown menu several times. I have checked again as of reading your response. It seems that no matter what Pantone choice I select under the Color mode I get your second window that you posted. On top of that, I have captured the window that comes up when I initially start the add new color swatch .... it looks like this ....
    Please notice that the Pantone DS is already beside where you would key in the Pantone number, even though the color mode I am in is CMYK. This does not change when I switch to Spot as shown below.
    So I do not believe there is something flawed about my method. It seems as if the Pantone Color Book information is missing for everything else other than the Process Coated.

  • How do I color an entire layer?

    G'day.
    I'm new to scripting illustrator, and I'd like to be able to set the color of everything on a layer to red ( or any other color). Is it possible?
    I've tried selecting all with the GUI, and setting the default stroke color while the layer is selected, but that process adds extra width to the image parts, and only works on some parts.
    Regards
    Brian

    The above JavaScript actually loops thru page items not path items (unless you only have path items on the page)
    You did not state any particular language to do this in but were using AppleScript in another post (I think) so here's something that should get you started. This is only for path items only but you could include other elements of your layer.
    BTW in the GUI you could just draw a big rectangle behind all your layer items then select all and 'make opacity mask'
    I can't get this to work in script even by calling on an action.
    tell application "Adobe Illustrator"
    activate
    set Doc_Ref to the current document
    tell Doc_Ref
    set Swatch_Ref to index of swatch named "Mars Red"
    -- See if we have used global color for tints
    if class of color of swatch Swatch_Ref = spot color info then
    set Global_Color to true
    else
    set Global_Color to false
    end if
    repeat with i from 1 to count of path items of layer "Marks"
    set This_Path_Item to path item i of layer "Marks"
    if filled of This_Path_Item = true then
    -- See if we have used global color for tints
    if class of fill color of This_Path_Item = spot color info and Global_Color = true then
    set This_Fill_Tint to tint of fill color of This_Path_Item
    set fill color of This_Path_Item to color of swatch Swatch_Ref
    set tint of fill color of This_Path_Item to This_Fill_Tint
    else
    set fill color of This_Path_Item to color of swatch Swatch_Ref
    end if
    end if
    if stroked of This_Path_Item = true then
    -- See if we have used global color for tints
    if class of stroke color of This_Path_Item = spot color info and Global_Color = true then
    set This_Stroke_Tint to tint of stroke color of This_Path_Item
    set stroke color of This_Path_Item to color of swatch Swatch_Ref
    set tint of stroke color of This_Path_Item to This_Stroke_Tint
    else
    set stroke color of This_Path_Item to color of swatch Swatch_Ref

  • Color balance adjustment layer opening as levels

    When I try creating a color balance adjustment layer is it opening a levels adjustment layer. I'm using the New Adjustment Layer button at the bottom of the Layers panel. Is this a bug with CS6? How can I fix the problem?

    This is the process that I go through:
    Selecting the adjustment icon at the bottom of the Layers Panel, as shown below.
    I select color balance, as shown below.
    The properties panel is brought up, and shows the color balance adjustment controls.
    In your properties panel, are your saying when you follow the above, that level adjustments come up?

  • Selecting Color Balance adjustment layer brings up Levels adjustment layer

    Ok, so, all of a sudden I cannot get a color balance adjustment layer to come up. Every time I do photoshop creates a levels layer. Selecting levels makes a levels layer. All of the other adjustment layers seem to be working normally. How do I fix this? I have a deadline and no time to be reinstalling photoshop.

    Reinstalling the application seldom helps, and re-installing without trashing your preferences is futile as you end up right where you started.
    I understand your frustrartion, but please remember that you are not addressing Adobe here in this user to user forum.

  • Color Balance Adj Layer Characteristics Changed from CS4- CS5?

    Maybe some guru with better connections to Adobe knows the answer to this. (or maybe I just forgot).
    I just discovered (and I don't think it is pilot error) that the characteristic behavior of the Color Balance Adjustment Layer is different in CS5 than it was in CS4/CS3.  (Much stronger in CS4/CS3).
    In addition, there is also an associated behavior that is like a buried legacy mode that is not made visible to the user.  Here is what I mean.
    If I create an image in CS4  with a single Color Balance Adj Layer, I get an adjusted image.
    If I open that same PSD file in CS5, the same image is displayed.
    If I use the same base image, yet create the Color Balance Adj Layer from within CS5, the adjusted image is different than the prior two.   So the Color Adjustment Layer acts like it has a hidden legacy mode where the characteristics are one type if created in CS4/CS3 yet a different characteristic if created in CS5.
    My mind might be slipping (or my cold has the better of me) because I do not remember this as a documented change and I searched the internet for "What's new in CS5" etc etc.  I don't remember anything on other forums about this either.
    I guess the good news is, the new characteristic of the Color Balance Adjustment Layer is better behaved with a transfer curve with less clipping for highlights and shadows.  Very similar to the better behavior of the change of the Brightness/Contrast Adjustment Layer going from CS2 to CS3.
    Here are some comparison images.
    This is the Layer Stack Used with Base Image of simple B to W gradient with CB Layer on top with just the highlights pegged to red.  This is the exact same Layer Stack for all of the images shown:
    Here is the first image.  This was created in PS CS4 and displayed from CS4 with the conditions show above:
    This is the same image from above that was saved as PSD with profile and them imported to PS CS5 with same profile.  There was no change:
    This next image is using the same base gradient, yet then creating the CB Layer from within PS CS5 with the same parameters, only the Red pegged for the Highlights:
    Does someone have an easy answer for this.  Can someone duplicate this and confirm the change from CS4 to CS5.  A test by someone else would either confirm I am off base with pilot error or there is something to this.
    And yes, all the images were sRGB and kept in sRGB for creation/display.  All Screenshot images were the images brought up side by side on the same color managed monitor.   All Edit > Color Settings were identical.
    Thanks in advance for any help

    OK, Chris, but before I perform my act of self flaggelation for the benefit for all and my extra embarrassment, let me add in some useful information about the Color Balance Adj Layer that could be helpful.
    I was working with another individual who wanted a better understanding the color balance adj layer, what is was exactly doing, how the shadows, midtones, and highlights interacted, and the differences with preserve luminosity checked or not, and also why the preserve luminosity was so hard to predict (e.g. did not really preserve luminoisty).
    Without going into the deails of all of that, the tidbit I will leave as far as penance for my stupid original post above is that the Color Balance Adj Layer with the Preserve Luminosity box checked does a reasonable job or preserving luminoisty for the midtone adjustments yet definitely does not for the shadow and highlight adjustments.
    An easy workaround for this is to just set the Color Balance Adj Layer Blend to Color which preserves Luminosity of the image presented from lower layers while maintaining the Color as best it can from using the CB Adj Layer  (It holds the Hue and does its best to keep the same Saturation yet the Luminoisty from the presented image from lower layers takes prescendence).  This does a much better job at preserving Luminosity than using the checkbox option.    I usually use this approach and keep the Preserve Luminiosity box turned off.
    The error that I made was during the fairly involved exchange with this other individual, at some point I accidentally set the Layer Mask for the CB Adj Layer to 50% gray and did not notice that it had changed from the default white.  Much further down the line, when this other individual could not exactly recreate my results, he mentioned working in CS3. Thinking this odd,  I pulled up CS3, created the image from scratch (without the erroneous mask change to 50% gray) so therefore I duplicated his results and did not realize the error was in my original Layer Stack.  To make a long story short, I went and checked for differences in all system settings, profiles, Color Settings, opacity settings, Blend settings, Layer Style settings (and their options) etc, etc and overlooked a change in the Mask gray level.        When I quickly flashed back and forth between the two documents/stack it finally popped out at me. Mea Culpa.

  • Color Balance Adjustment Layer to blend faces?

    I'm using 2 different images of 2 different people, and layer masking features from one person on to another. Afterwards, I play with the levels a little bit, though the skin tones from the different features are still off. I tried using a Color Balance Adjustment Layer, though I'm not really sure what to look for. I'm just eyeballing it, though are there any guidelines for doing something like this?
    1. Should I be adjusting the midtones, shadows or highlights?
    2. I added a little bit of red, is there ever a time when you might add add magenta or green to blend skin tone? What about yellow or blue?
    3. Any other general tips for doing this?
    Thanks.

    What version of PS are you using?  I think there were a couple versions that variations was removed.  If you have it, it should be done on the layer that you want to adjust the color, but I would make that layer a smart object first, so you could undo what ever you did.

  • Sizing issue when pasting corner pin data from mocha ae onto a solid layer. Please help!!

    When I bring in my corner pin tracking data from mocha ae and paste it onto a solid layer that I created, it sizes the layer to the corner pins, but I want it to stay the whole size of the screen. I'm following a tutorial at the address http://www.videocopilot.net/tutorials/sub_surface_skin/   and there is no mention of this problem in the tutorial. I am following the tutorial exactly, and using the latest version of After Effects. Any help would be much appreciated.

    I took some photos of a simpler version of whats going on.
    Just in AE with my footage.
    About to track in mocha.
    Tracked in mocha (only tracked half because i didnt want to wait).
    Adding a solid to paste my corner pin data to.
    Masked it to where I wanted it.
    Selected the type of data I wanted.
    Copy to clipboard.
    Paste.
    Great... the insert image thing grayed out.
    Going to have to post the last pic separately.

  • Set the size of Solid layer by expression?

    Hi!
    Is it possible to set the size like this?
    this_layer.width = 200;
    I need to keep my transform.scale untouched.
    Before this I used my custom drop-down menu and expression on Transform:
    switch(effect("UPLOAD Dynamic Picture")("resolution").value) {
    case 2:
         transform.scale = [208,208]; break;
    case 3:
                 transform.scale = [424,424]; break;
    default:
                 transform.scale = [64,64]; break;
    But now I realized that need to animate the scale too
    So, how can I set the solid layer size?
    Thank you!

    By scripting you can do :
         var source = this_layer.source;
         source.width = newWidth;
         source.height = newHeight;
         Be careful as this will affect all layers throughout the project that have that same solid as source.
    By expression, you can't.

  • Masking a Solid Layer with an Effect

    Should be easy, you would think.
    I have a solid layer (white) with a radio waves effect applied to it.  I've got the effect dialed in and it's what I want, but I want to mask off just a triangular portion of this layer, creating a beam shape (not eminating in 360 degrees.)
    But my mask has no effect on the effect, if you know what I mean.  I've tried inverting the mask and changing the mask modes but nothing works.
    Isn't there a way of masking a shape layer with an effect on it?
    Thanks.

    Precompose or nest.
    Apply the triangular masking to the nest.
    Think of it this way, your'e making a movie of the radio wave effect then importing the movie and applying a mask to the movie.
    You can also set Radio Waves to use closed but custom shapes as the emission source but that's often more trouble than simply masking a nested pr precomposed sequence.

  • Adding Color to a Layer

    I am currently trying to make a before-and-after presentation in CS4. I have 2 pictures that are side-by-side (via Image-->Reveal All). At the moment I have 2 layers, and when I try to add color to a layer, both pictures become black. For dramatic effect, I want to put a black line between the 2 images. How do I do that?
    Thanks!

    One way might be to unlock the background layer before doing Reveal All so
    the areas not covered by the photos are transparent.
    Then put a blank layer at the bottom of the layer stack, make a selection of the
    area between the two images and fill the selection with black.
