Colour Range Tool not Working in CC as it did in CS6.

Hi,  I'm currently trying out Ps CC and have realised that the Colour Range tool is not working as it did in CS6. Rather than selecting the solid colour sampled by the eye dropper (in this case pink from a blue and pink design) it is selecting fragments of both colours. No amount of playing with the sliders is improving the selection clarity. Does anybody have a solution? Thanks Kayle.

  • Colour replacement tool not working

    I have a jpeg file loaded into Photoshop CS6. This is a black logo on a white background. The colour replacement tool has no effect on this (I want to change the black to another colour)
    I have read somewhere that the tool doesnt work with black and white? is that correct and if so, how do i get the colour changed
    Thanks
    Chris Anderson

    Hi Cjacs,
    You may try using blending modes to achieve your desired result. Starting with a black and white logo:
    1) Create a new fill layer by going to Layer > New Fill Layer > Solid Color.
    2) At the first dialog box, click OK. Then choose the color you want the artwork to be.
    3) You logo artwork will then be hidden, but don't worry! We'll using blending modes to change this.
    4) In the Layers Panel, look for the area where it says "Normal." This is where you change the blend mode. Open this dropdown menu and select Screen.
    5) Your artwork will then be changed to the color you chose before.
    I hope this was helpful! Please don't hesitate to ask more questions if this did not solve your issue.

  • Colour replacer tool not working...

    I need to recoolour the gold text so its white.
    If I select it its not really very good.
    I thought about using the colour replacer tool but it goes gray.
    How can I make it go white?
    Or, should I be looking for a different method?
    Many thanks
    Edward

    Hi
    I can wrote you one of a ways how to select only text from that image and colorize it as you want.
    1. press CTRL+J (or cmd+j if you are using MAC) this will duplicate your actual layer
    2. press CTRL+SHIFT+U for desaturate the image or in main menu  - Image/Adjustmets/Desaturate
    3. press CTRL+M for editing curves or Image/Adjustments/Curves - and move horizontaly with dots showed on graph to get the most contrast image with still soft edges
    4. Now switch to your Chanels tab, if you don't have it displayed you can do this in Window/Chanels
         - then just ctrl+click to chanel layer image to get selection of white color
         - Tip for the future use, If you are working with more complex images with a lot of shades of grey turn off RGB layer, and two other layers to gen only 2 colours palete, choose one you like the most and then width ctrl+click on layer thumbnail you get this selection (somenimes is needed to invert selection ... if you are selecting dark tones)
    5. Switch back to layers and create a new layer, fill the selection on that new layer and you have text on it's own layer where you can do whatever you want, for example change colour.
    because you want to have a white you're probably done
    Hope this helped

  • Colour Range tool broken

    Hello,
    I have been using photoshop for a few years now and have recently switched from CS5 to Photoshop CC.  Though I am beginning to regret this decision, but that is by the by.
    I have recently discovered that my Select > Colour Range tool is completely broken.  So for example, as a part of my day to day job, I change the skies on photos from grey to blue with fluffy clouds.  When I click the eyedrop tool and select my grey area it simply will not give me that range of colours or any other range of colours, no matter what the fuzziness.  Please see this example:
    Here you see me selecting the desired colour
    And here you see photoshop CC failing to recognise any of the colours I have selected.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    You will need to be more specific. What system? What color management? This could be one of those gigazillion issues where hardware acceleration gets in the way and messes with the color sampling. As a test, at least turn it off under Preferences --> Performance. if that resolcves the issue, then you know you need to straighten out your graphics driver and configuration to make it work with acceleration on.

  • No colour range tool....help

    no colour range tool in selection tab...what else do you suggest to get same result...cheers!

    I just had a look at that script in Elements+:
    http://simplephotoshop.com/elementsplus/v5/en/selective-color.htm
    I don't have PS, so I can't see if that is close to the original version.
    I see this as an alternative to the standard hue/sat adjustment layer to adjust selected colors. Once you have made your selective adjustment, you can't edit the adjustment layer.
    It may be of some use for people used to work with CMYK primaries, but otherwise, I think that the hue/saturation adjustment layer is more flexible and selective... unless I am missing something.

  • Creative cloud photoshop blur tool not work as it should be

    creative cloud photoshop blur tool not work as it should be !
    I go to blur a painting i am doing and it does not blur enough and I am using wacom Intuos 5 med pen tablet.
    and I even set the tablets sensitivty for pressure lower then default and still not getting the blur tool to do its job.
    I even adjusted the brush settings too to be able to blur even more on hard settings, still nothing.
    at least it not bluring enough to see any major changes.
    the only way i can blur anything is by using the fliters blur or the brushes ( mixer brush ) settings to mix colors and do it that way.
    (note) I will not post my systems specs sorry I don't do that and even the tech from adobe said I do not have to. and so I wont !
    just need advise not to share system specs.
    and thats what this forums board is for getting advice and read what others say about the issue at hand.
    it's not to post or share system specs  !!!
    so with that out of the way I need advice only please ?

    Hi,
    It might be your image is too big in terms of pixel dimensions for the blur tool to work well.
    If you zoom to 100% do you see any change when using the blur tool?
    What are the pixel dimensions of the image?
    (Image>Image Size)
    If you try a small image, does the blur tool work?
    What about when you use the mouse instead of your tablet?
    Can you at least tell us what operating system and version of photoshop your using?

  • Table range is not working!!

    Hello all,
    I am using the JHeadstart 10.1.3 production (build 91) and JDeveloper 10.1.3
    I have a main group and 2 detail groups (nested) and regions on the main group. I tried to limit the number of rows by the "table rangë", by selecting it and putting the number of rows and its not showing on the page. I am getting the entire rows.
    any comments about it
    thanks

    San,
    Hmm, very strange. Is this the only page where table range is not working? Can you try creating a new project from scratch and see whether it works correctly there?

  • Adobe XI - Hightlight text tool not working

    Just downloaded adobe XI and the hightlight text tool not working.  How can I get this to work.

    I guess you can always use the box tool in drawing markups to draw a box around the text then play with the colors until you get close to what you want.
    The only thing I don't like about that (besides it being a PITA) is that it covers the text with color as well where the highlight tool does not.

  • Shape Builder tool not working on shapes in a clipping mask

    Why is the Shape Builder Tool don't work on shapes inside a Clipping Mask? The Pathfinder does work but for the Shape Builder Tool: NADA!
    Thank's for answering,
    Lindberg

    Hi,
    Thank you for answering. No it will work correctly. The Pathfinder work inside a clipping path and in any situation but not the Shape Builder Tool. Unless this is normal, I think that the specialist at Adobe should have a look at this annoying behavior and try to release an upgrade with this behavior corrected in a near futur.
