Color text in b/w image

I desaturated a photo in Photoshop CS4, and now I can't write anything except black or gray text. How can I add color text into this? I've even tried saving as a jpg and adding a text layer to that, as well as turning it into a smart object (not really sure yet what those are for exactly), but I cannot change the text color. One would think that I should be able to add any color text I want to a jpg, but no.
This is a logo and I need to be able to save it as a PSD.
Thank you in advance!

You shouldn't have any problems saving the image as a PSD. Does it not give you that option? As far as your text color is concerned, it sounds like your Color Mode might not be set to RGB or CMYK. (You could even use Indexed Color as a color mode as long as the color you want is in your swatch.) Perhaps your current color mode is set to grayscale?

How to send images and other colored text in email body

Hi
We are using SAP CRM 4.0 and we would like to send email to our customers using actions configured for activity. Our objective is to send Marketing Emails containing <u>Images and Color texts</u> in the BODY OF THE email and not as a PDF attachment.
The only relevant provision we could see in SCOT is either Text or PDF. On using text , we are loosing all images and color. The PDF option works , but the email generated is a blank email with PDF document as attachment.
We want the matter to be inserted in the body of the email and not as attachment.
Please do let us know if any one has faced similar situation and is there a resolution.
Thanks and Advance.

Are you pasting in the HTML code?
You can't use the formats in the CRM editor to set bold text, etc. You have to use the HTML code and have set the Form up as Internet mail

Adding Text to a Buffered Image

Hey
I am trying to add text to a bufferedimage image and have tried a couple of ways.
I cannot seem to get it to work propely though. Everytime i try, the text appears but the image appears inside the lettering of the text and not under it like i want it to.
Could someone please explain the best way of place text on TOP of an image as i am really stuck now :(
Thanks in advanced for any help

Basically paint your buffered image into a new BufferedImage and then paint in the new text on top.
Here's a demo.

        f.setSize(400,640);
        f.setLocation(200,50);

How can I add a text watermark, NOT an image

I would like to make a watermark for all of my images, but I want to vary the location it is at every time. Also, I'd like to change the color of the text according to the image. Is there a plugin out there that allows for this?
Thanks,
Zach

Zach -- try it again.
The watermark blend modes are there to help show your watermark on varying backgrounds. The Blend Mode selector is on the Watermark tab. Try all of them.
You are not limited to images. Here is a screenshot of the Border FX text tab. The options are extensive (and include separate colors for stroke and fill).

Different color text in text area???????

hi,
i am working on applet in which i want to show different color text in text area????????
could any one help me

I'm not sure it replies, we have developed an
editorkit for the JEditorPane for colorizing a
text with a property file describing a grammar. We
provide in the packaging a trivial sample
for coloring a java syntax in an applet.

And of course it also requires that you buy it, and a.brillant forgot to mention that a.brillant has a financial interest in this product.

Is there a way to turn a text character into an image?

Is it possible to turn a text character into an image/shape...using Pages or any other iLife or iWorks app?
Reason being - I want to use a certain font and a character in it, but that particular font is not being recognized/shown properly by another computer. I want to make sure the text character shows up as I intend, and I figure the way to do that is by turning the text character into an image/shape (like a jpeg maybe? or a tiff or gif? I don't know too much about the difference between these last two). Then I can paste that image onto any background and have it still look like text laying on top of the background.
Hope that makes sense, and many thanks in advance for any insights!

Although it saves the text character as an image, it also saves the background (the white of the page) as part of that image. So when the character is pasted into a document whose background is anything other than white, it doesn't look like a simple text character anymore. It looks like a white box with a text character in it. You know what I mean?
I'm thinking I might need to use whole 'nother graphics program to do this whole deal...what do you think?
Rather than using Preview, create the new image from the clipboard in GraphicConverter & use the transparency wand to make the background transparent. Then use ⌘ E to select just the image & save, choosing to save just the selection.

My HP Color LaserJet CP1215 has colored text quality problems

My printer was working fine, but in the last month, I have been unable to correct a printing issue, which involves colored text that double prints or is blurry, it looks like it has a shadow mostly any color has a red shadow. I have replaced all the cartridges, checked to make sure the tape was pulled off all and performed a cleaning, and all tests I could find or had access to. I am beyond frustrated and am ready to throw it out the window. Does anyone have any solutions?

Don't quit keep with it, I almost quit because I was getting mad. They kept harping on changing paper, changing paper. My paper had sat in it for some time in a room where temperature changes was up and down. The paper could have dried out to much or may have gotten moisture in it from the temperature changes. I know it sounds crazy but change the paper with fresh paper along with calibrating it 3 or 4 times and see if you get different results.

HoW to ChaNGE the text in the mobile application to be in MulTi-CoLoR text

_* Do anyone can tell me how to change the text in the mobile application to be in multi-color text, to make it more interesting and increase readability?
Is it using the Graphic's paint() method? or any better suggestion?
Please give the short example if can?
Please help... "_"
Hearing from u all soon...@_@
thanks....

Go into outline view. If you can see the outlines of the letterforms, you can't just change the text. If the letterforms are solid black, take the type tool, select the text and type yours.
Anyway you can just select the letters, take the type tool and type new text.
Working with the type tool is a basic. Please see the manual for details

Problem with Alt Text output from thumbnail image of Lightbox widget

I’m having a problem with the Lightbox widget not producing alternative text based on the image properties. I’ve set ALT text for the image properties on both the larger Ligtbox image as well as the thumbnail. But the HTML output from Muse does not include the ALT text on the thumbnail version of the image. Here’s an example:
    <div class="popup_anchor">
       <div class="Thumb popup_element clearfix" id="u4409">
        <a class="anchor_item grpelem" id="untitled"></a>
        <div class="grpelem" id="u4433">
         <img id="u4433_img" src="/images/n0060292x292.jpg" alt="" width="292" height="292" />
This may be a problem that came in a previous release of Muse. I have a few older examples where ALT text is produced, but it’s no longer updated if I update the Image Properties.

I'm seeing the same problem. Looks like a bug to me. Any ideas as to how we can get this on Adobe's bug fix list?

PSE 8 coloring a black and white image

Okay, so I downloaded a free trial of PSE 8, so my experience with it is limited, which may contribute to my problem. I've watched tutorials on how to add color to a black and white photo using the paintbrush tool, though I haven't watched one for PSE 8.
I'll make a new layer, paint part of the picture, and then add another layer. But when I click a different color to paint with, it changes the color of what I already painted, even though I'm on a different layer.
Also when I tried to just save the image with one part painted, it didn't save it, and the image looked as it did originally.
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Hi,
Are you using the right tool to paint on a layer?
For coloring a black and white image, you need to save different areas of your image on a different layer and then use either Paint brush or a Paint bucket tool.
It seems that you are selecting a wrong tool. For selecting Brush, press B.
Then try painting on one part of the image and then go to the the color swatch present at the end of the tools panel on the left as :
Now click on the foreground color swatch(on the top) to change the color with which you want to paint.This will not change the color of other layers on changing the color.

[SOLVED] Some colored text in urxvt displaying oddly

Some colored text does not display correctly in the terminal - but not all. Here's a screenshot:
http://i.imgur.com/xrzCR16l.png
As you can see, the directory names displayed in blue and the executable files displayed in green (not sure why .vimrc is executable..) are all funky looking. However, my username and the regular file names are all displaying correctly. Also all the colored text in VIm in the terminal looks fine as well:
I've read through the Font Config Wiki - Applications Without Fontconfig Support but none of the configs suggested:
Xft.autohint: 0
Xft.lcdfilter: lcddefault
Xft.hintstyle: hintfull
Xft.hinting: 1
Xft.antialias: 1
Xft.rgba: rgb
in my .Xresources file change this behavior. Here is my full .Xresources file without the above settings, its not very long:

I would have thought that it has something to do with the colors being defined incorrectly, but the ".vimrc" file is using the same color as my username, and my username is behaving correctly. I'm at a loss and attempting to google "Font Problems in urxvt" gets topics where the the font is incorrect throughout the whole terminal, not just in particular places. Anyone know how to correct this?

Try defining your bold font explicitly:

Copy a text layer to another image in the same location

I am trying to find a way to copy a text layer in one image to another image of the same size so that the text layer is in the exact same location.
Basically I have two images for a rollover button for a website. What is the easiest way to copy a text layer to the other image so that it will be in the exact same location to create the rollover effect?
Thanks!
Nick

Right click on the layer, Duplicate Layer, set destination to the other image file in the dropdown.
