Color/ shade adjustment
I'm having a bit of a problem. It seems that I can't view certain colors/ shades of colors. How do I adjust this? I know the colors are there because I can see these shades when I'm on a different user my computer, but my user can't view it. I guess I adjusted it unknowingly. And I know it's not the light, because I've tried changing it but I still can't view the colors... Can I reset it somehow to it's original settings? If so, how?
If you select System Preferences>Displays. Set the Resolution to 1280x800
and the Colors to Millions. Click Colors and select Color LCD. See if that works.

*I've already tried adjusting the display and color as well as the F1 and F2 buttons. I know it's not these because without changing them I switch to a different user and the shadings are different.Hi Angel,
When you say you've tried adjusting the color, do you mean that you've gone to system preferences > Displays > Color and selected a different color profile? Check to see which profile is being used on the account that works correctly and make sure the same one is set on your other account.
Secondly, in System Preferences > Displays, make sure that your monitor is set to "millions" of colors. This is usually what people check. They often miss the color profile step described above.
Thirdly, go to System Preferences > Universal Access and make sure that the "Enhance Contrast" slider is set all the way to the left (normal).
If none of that works, it's likely that one of your preference files has been corrupted. Reply here and we'll walk you through deleting it. -

FR: color temperature adjustment layer
I know there are 5 million methods to adjust colors in PS, but I would really prefer a simple (and almost scientific) method like the color temperature adjustment in ACR (with the green-magenta color cast adjustment).
Ideally, PS would read the current color temperature from the EXIF data (and adjust to any adjustment layers below), and give the option to pick a neutral pixel (and display the color shift based on that). in case there is no original color temp available, the grey pixel picker could be used to establish a base value, and give the user at least relative color shift values (or the user could enter the values by hand from ACR).
The reason for this is that most (pro) photographers probably know the color temp of their environments (lights, ambient, gels etc) (or can read those values from ACR), so adjusting values in regards to kelvin would make things much more precise than the ambivalent values of e.g. the color balance adjustment.What I was asking is a different method to achieve the same results what is possible with levels/curves/color balance etc without going into lab mode. (btw, the lack of a grey picker and the zoned approach of color balance isn't ideal sometimes)
thank you for reminding me that I need to brush up on my color theory. your reply has a tone of "why are you asking this, there are already tools for this" which I find a bit too conservative, when my intention is to make PS even more user friendly... if we would go with your paradigm, we wouldn't need levels, because everybody could just use curves, and yet both are very popular and often used based on the users preferences.
what I am asking is bringing the white balance settings from ACR into an adjustment layer, with all it's implications.
it would enable users to specifically balance images with mixed light sources (with the proposed color temp/WB adjustment layer with it's mask) by entering values in kelvin, and not some arbitrary numbers from 0-1 or 0-255. it would be so much easier to balance tungsten to daylight by adding 2000 kelvin to the image, or to control a straw gel that was added somewhere in the scene. I can imagine so many applications for this adjustment layer... -
Hello,
A really good feature would be color temperature adjustment for Adjustment Brush and Graduated Filter to be able to set a corect white balance through the whole picture. This could be a scenario: a sunset with (partialy) falling shadows (from trees) on some people. Also to have a White Balance Selector for those two adjustments.
Thanks.What I was asking is a different method to achieve the same results what is possible with levels/curves/color balance etc without going into lab mode. (btw, the lack of a grey picker and the zoned approach of color balance isn't ideal sometimes)

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 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.

Adobe: Want to color my adjustment pins...
Who can I address at Adobe to include a preference to color the adjustment pins in the next release? Why suffer having to look for them when they could be easily colored bright lime or something that would show up? Getting a headache looking for them everytime I try to edit a photo.

Click+Hold a Color Swatch : Color-Shades float
I will use this image below just for an example.
I remember being able to click on a color and hold it for about two seconds and then a series of color-shades from the clicked-color will float on the side.
But now I can't seem to do it anymore. I've tried different Color Swatches, but it still doesn't work. Please help.Thank you Mylenium for responding.
Not exactly confusing the two programs, I'm aware that it's Illustrator Swatch, but I was confusing two different vendors altogether. What I was talking about was Corel Photopaint. Corel has that feature, and I suppose Ps doesn't have that. I realized this when I open CPp again.
Thank you. -
How to minimize picture to a certain amount of color shades?
I am working on a piece of pixelated artwork. Each pixel is a certain shade of grey. I need to be able to minimize the shade count to about 5. So, every pixel that is light grey will be all the same shade and so on. Get it? Any thoughts on how to do this? I would be able to use both Illustrator and Photoshop with this.
ThanksYou can either try an Posterize Adjustment Layer, but this will probably not provide good results.
Another option is to change Image – Mode to Indexed Color, choose Custom Palette, set Colors to 6 and edit those. (see screenshot)
Dither None might be a better fit though. -
How to change IMAQ ROI color while adjusting handles
I have an application where a user must draw a rotated rectangle box around an object. I'm using an color overlay to highlight the box, but when the user is adjusting the roi handles, the box color becomes gray. The images i'm working with are gray scale images and it makes it difficult to adjust the rotated rectangle box when they are virtually the same color. Is there any way to change the color of the roi while it is being adjusted?
Thanks,
PeteHi pbartko2,
You can change the color of the ROI while it is in place, but there are no settings to change the color while the ROI is being moved. This will always be the default color of grey. You could post this as a suggestion on our Idea Exchange. Ideas voted up on the Idea Exchange are taken into consideration for previous releases. Unfortunately at the moment there isn't an easy way around this issue.

Substitute colors and color shades
We are looking at re-painting our house. I have scanned in some of the colors we are thinking about. I have taken some pics of our house and want to introduce the colors we have choosen. There is shade that also has to be dealt with and hence the same color in shade will have to be accepted as well.
What is the best method/tool to use for this task ?Since it's easier to point you toward some tutorials on that very subject than illustrate the different ways on the forum, here are some:

It was the tone pulldown menu when I used color balance as an adjustment layer. But it's now working for me. I just restarted the app.
