Coloured pencil problem

My photoshop elements 11 keeps giving me problems with coloured pencil.  Two months ago it was giving me a blue paper background.  your technician solved problem but now it is giving me a very much unwanted red paper background. please can you fix it or replace what seems to be a faulty version of elements 11 which seems to have mind of its own?

We can't fix anything because PSE isn't  "ours", since we're just other customers like you.
However, the pencil sketch filter uses the colors chosen in the color squares in the toolbox. Clcik your red square and choose a different color there.

  • Full screen colour profile problem

    I just posted this as feedback to Apple and was curious to see if anyone was having the same problem:
    I have a dual monitor setup: One Eizo CG222W and one Eizo CG210. The 222W is my primary display (menu bar on this one). Both monitors are calibrated and profiled with a Spyder3 and ColorEyes Display Pro. I have the profiles loaded on both displays. It is worth noting that both (particularly the 222W) are wide gamut, so you may well not see this happening if you are looking at an Apple Cinema display (no offence, but you're just not going to see this so pronounced on an Apple display). To put it into perspective, I have just bought the CG222W and was not noticing any issues with the CG210 because its gamut is narrower (but still wider than a cinema display).
    So, if I view an image within Aperture (not full screen), then it looks normal, but when I hit full screen and look at the same image (on the same display), it is noticeably over-saturated. As a check I also opened the same image in Photoshop (on the same display) and it looks exactly the same as when viewed in the normal (non full screen) view of Aperture.
    It is clear that there is a colour profile problem with Aperture. It appears that when full screen mode is selected, a different profile is loaded for the display, or a different working space (if Aperture provides such functionality). I won't be doing any image adjustments in full screen mode until this has been corrected.

    There is well documented issue with this problem. The fix is to set your default monitor to whichever monitor you are using to view Aperture in full screen, using color sync utility.
    The reason you don't have this problem in PS is because it has its own color management within the software.
    Hope this helps,
    Cheers

  • Graphic pen or coloured pencil effect...

    I am shooting some simple talking head footage and want to experiment with the effect (similar to photobooth) that makes the footage look like an animated graphic pen sketch or coloured pencil sketch. What I've seen in the actual package doesn't seem to offer anything like that - any suggestions much appreciated.
    thanks

  • Solution for a "colour picker" problem.

    Hello, I had the most annoying problem with "Colours" in DreamWeaver 8. I just couldnt seem to get DreamWeaver to select colours from the page I was working in. I could select colours from the colour popup or "swab", but trying to match colours with imported images or other content by putting the "eye dropper" on them in the page itself and selecting just didnt work, it was so frustrating, and time consuming, to say the least. Lots of people here came in with suggestions, but all to no avail. I eventually tracked the problem down, (after about a week) to a little security program on my system called "Snoop Free", which blocks Keyloggers and Screen Readers, and by going into "Snoop Free's" control panel and allowing DreamWeaver access to my screen, the problem was finally "nailed". At the suggestion of "JayJahbrix", I am writing this, as it may help someone else, as I know only too well how frustrating this can be. It might not be "Snoop Free" on your system, but when experiencing problems like this, its always worth checking for solutions outside of DreamWeaver, or whatever software it might be. Check drivers, and defenitely check security software for conflicts. Thanks again to all who stuck with it on my behalf

    I'm glad you got it all sorted.  But the funny thing is I don't use the DW color picker tool much.
    I begin projects with a pre-selected color pallet and a very handy free utility from Iconico called COLOR PIC.  Honestly, can't work without this tool.

  • Colour shift problem in CS5 not in Lightroom

    Hi Guys,
    This is a long post but to save time Ill try to explain my setup and my problem which has only started in the last three weeks.

    All good so far. Colours on my profiled monitor are good. If I then print this file through Q image all is good (and this is most of my files!) . Happy days! However if I open in CS5 (Colour settings below-which have not changed for 10 years!) the colour changes. I am getting no profile mismatch warning (I shouldn’t – file is adobe rgb which is my working space). But there is a noticeable colour shift. If I do nothing to the file and resave the colour has shifted. I have tried opening a file/ saving with a different file name and printing the two on the same sheet of paper to eliminate printer issues – the shift that I see on my monitor is there. Why would opening an Adobe RGB jpeg in CS5 change its colour? It certainly never happened before. Also if within Lightroom I click “edit in PS”, open the file and resave the colour has shifted..
    ((I have also tried preserve embedded profile but this doesn’t solve the issue!)
    My workaround is to do lightroom conversion, (colour correct!), Open and edit in CS5 (colour shift) save as different file name, Import into Lightroom (Now says embedded profile (This is correct I think) Do nothing in terms of colour (which now looks correct again!) and export (Wow Correct colour Again!!)
    Does anybody know what is going on??
    I have used half a roll of paper doing test prints and have established the following:
    My monitor profile is correct, (What I see is what I get!)
    QImage setting & My printer profile is correct ( What I see is what I get!  By printing the two files on the same sheet (this will eliminate printer issues) I can see the CS5 file is very different - as on the monitor)
    All lightroom exports are correct (what I see is what I get!)
    I also opened a file on CS3 (across a network to a non colour managed machine but with adobe rgb work space, did nothing with the file but resave and the colours shift again!
    I attach samples below: The difference reminds me of what an Adobe RGB file looks like on a non colour managed monitor – Flatter (no punch) but also a slightly green
    Any Help would be much appreciated!
    Thanks, Nigel
    NB Also set to do nothing after export!

    Very generally, they both describe profiles.  ICC is the standard International Color Consortium format for profiles and ICM is Microsoft's flavor (standing for Integrated Color Management, I believe).
    Photoshop et. al. are able to use both, but even a name match wouldn't mean the contents are identical.  There is some possibility that they actually are equivalent under the covers in this case, and that my spotting the slight difference in names isn't the source of the visible color differences.  It is almost certainly why the warning message is being emitted, though.
    These may help further with definitions, but are not light reading by any means:

  • Colour profiles problem - images saving too dull. Please help.

    I realise you have probably had this question a million times before and I have looked at enough related threads, but I am still at a loss as to what to do. Please note I'm not the most computer-savvy.
    For the record I am using Photoshop 7 (yes it's old, but it suits my needs just fine!) and Windows Vista Home Premium.
    What I do is take photographs of my artworks, edit them in Photoshop until they look accurate, then post them online. Images have always looked identical in every program, and I had never had any problems, until I got connected to the Internet on Tuesday. This computer has not been connected to the net for a good few years, and so lots of updates got installed. I'm not sure which ones exactly, as my boyfriend took care of that, but I'm convinced this has caused the problems I am having now:
    First I found that an image I had edited and saved as .jpg for web use was showing up overly saturated and contrasty in the Windows Photo Gallery preview. I assumed I had saved it wrongly. I re-opened the jpg in Photoshop to check - it looked exactly as I had saved it. I figured something had messed up with Photo Gallery during updates, so I uploaded the jpg to the Internet. The image that uploaded was the overly-saturated, contrasty one.
    After realising that suddenly ALL the images I had uploaded online, and all the images saved on my computer, now had this awful over-saturated look, and yet the thumbnails on my desktop looked fine... I realised it must be something to do with the colour profiles, and tried to find out the answer online. My monitor colour profile was set to "21.5 inch monitor" so I changed that to sRGB as default. I can't remember what Photoshop was set to, but at any rate I set it to sRGB also.
    I thought I had it fixed, as it seemed to just be Photo Gallery that was not matching up (it was displaying my images with less saturation than as I saved them).
    However today I took a new photo of a drawing I'm working on, to load onto my blog. I had to take it into Photoshop to make edits and correct, as always. I opened my photo in Photoshop... lo and behold, far too contrasty and saturated!!
    This time, Windows Photo Gallery preview is showing the (unedited, straight out of camera) photo as it should be... Photoshop opens it too contrasty.
    I made my edits anyway, saved for web as .jpg, checked the jpg in Photo Gallery before uploading... It saved duller than it should have done!
    Uploaded the jpg to the internet... and I have the dull image uploaded.
    So first they were too contrasty, now they're too dull. I have tried to follow advice given on similar topics, to no apparent avail.
    Being an artist who displays work online and has a certain reliance on the internet... my images have to be accurate and consistent all the way through. Is there anything I can do to set things back to the way they were before?
    I appreciate any help.

    eartho - All my images are already converted to the sRGB colourspace by default, as far as I can tell. My images out of camera, the ones I have edited and saved as jpg - I even checked some old images. Through Mode/Convert to Profile, they're all already set to sRGB.
    emil emil - Thank you. I will do that in the morning - right now my head hurts and I need my bed.

  • Intermittent colour rendering problem

    In the past few weeks I've noticed a problem with my Photoshop CS5 (12.0.4) / Windows 7 64-bit setup. Maybe once a day, after using Photoshop for a while, the current document's colours will look like they're using the wrong colour space, usually looking more vivid and artificial. The only way out of the situation is to restart Photoshop.
    Example 1: after editing an image in AdobeRGB, I flatten it and run an action to resize, sharpen, and convert to sRGB. Occasionally, the picture ends up looking psychedelic.
    Example 2: after copying a selection in a flattened sRGB image, I create a new sRGB image and paste. Occasionally, the new image is clearly off, still similar hues but changed in tone and saturation; going back to the original window, there is visual corruption.
    I've got an ATI HD5670 graphics card, and have gone through maybe 3 driver revisions while this problem has existed. It's too infrequent a problem to easily replicate, and what I usually do is save and earlier state as a PSD and reload Photoshop.
    Any suggestions?

    I've reset my ATI Catalyst settings and switched off Overdrive. I haven't done much with Photoshop this week, but I was working on an image just now and the problem happened again.
    I use AdobeRGB workspace. I was working on an image, and, after finishing all my processing, I was doing my usual chores: running Dr Brown's Services to create two sets of JPEGs of different sizes and colourspaces with and without watermarks... I then ran an action for online gallery publishing:
    Flatten Image
    Fit Image to 2048 square
    Smart Sharpen 0.4 pixels at 50%
    Convert to sRGB with Relative Colormetric intent and BPComp.
    Normally, this works fine. Occasionally (including just now), the colours go warm/vivid. As an experiment, I went back one step in History (avoiding the last conversion step above) and the colours are returned to normal. Go forwards again, and the image overheats. Going back a step and doing the colourspace conversion manually does not create the colour problem.
    Why this should happen only occasionally, I have no idea. It gets the profile conversion wrong intermittently; maybe because it's part of an action assigned to a key combination. God knows. I'm baffled.

  • Nokia N8 Amoled Colour Display Problem

    Hello you all!
    I have a problem with my display and i need you. In this post i will give you some test images and my samples so you will see what i mean!
    I have problem with dark colour, if it is dark it is ok, and then if it is less dark then it appears violet. That is really anoying when watching movies when the movie is dark it is all violet and wierd colours. Example when you watch tron trailer whitc is uploaded on telephone and the colours are like it were be in 16bit colour (like in windows)
    And another thing. When i start QTorch app in deafult menu of the app it is not dark it is violet around the qtorch logo and ON button! It souppouse to be black around those logo and on button!
    Sorry for my bad english and the pictures are not brilliant quality but it show the point!
    If yo will please tell me if you have same problem. 
    I went to Nokia Care Center and they tell me that this is normal, but for me it is not normal, because n8 is a flagship of nokia and they are not allowed to do such a mistake. I am really disappointed!

  • Colour profile problem?

    I'm using Indesign CS2 to create large numbers of web banners but have just noticed some odd colour behaviour after creating my templates. I prefer Indesign to Photoshop and Illustrator for this because it allows better control of text. Colour profiles for all applications is sRGB.
    In InDesign CS2 I have a box filled with r255 g0 b0:
    1. Export as a jpeg and open with photoshop the red changes to r248 g0 b0.
    2. Copy and paste the entire page into Photoshop gives r255 g0 b0.
    3. Put an image with transparency over the red box and export as a jpeg gives r208 g5 b24.
    I have gotten aroung this problem by not using transpapency in images - but why would transparency affect the colour of other elements on the page?
    Many thanks in advance...

    I try to export a page or spread as a jpeg and the color profile is stripped. I've made sure transparency bleed space is RGB but I still get no profile in the resulting jpg.
    Any thoughts?

  • Colour matching problems photoshop to windows picture viewer.

    Hi, Im having trouble colour matching photoshop to windows picture/fax viewer. The colours in windows (as many people have said before) are a lot more saturated.
    Im using an EIZO CG222W and Photoshop CS2, colour balanced with an Eye-One Display.
    The prints returns from photographic labs match what is displayed in photoshop perfectly though obviously not in windows.
    I know windows is not colour balanced but I thought there would be little difference as we are also using another EIZO monitor and a IIYAMA monitor and these have no problems switching between photoshop and windows though they are both also colour balanced with the eye-one.
    This applies to ALL windows applications... all colours in Internet explorer etc are over saturated as well.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks!
    I did think of that as the reason, although I was a bit confused as like i said, we are also using another EIZO monitor which has a perfect balance between photoshop and windows yet I've checked all the setting between the two monitors which are the same.
    It's an older eizo so it may just be this new one has a wider gamut.
    Thanks for your help. I'll look into sRGB restrictions on windows and see if that works.

  • Photoshop 7 Colour Management Problem (WinXP)

    Hi,
    I just a problem studio while swapping over 2 Windows XP machines, having swapped over the 1st PC Photoshop 7 lost it's colour management settings.
    All images viewed now appeared hazey to the user. So we swapped the PCs back to the original monitor however the colour settings we are prompted for
    when opening Photoshop 7 have now been lost..
    We tried alll the colour management templates listed but these are not right.
    Is there away we can restore the original settings? Could these settings be saved in a file somewhere on the PCs hard disk?
    Thanks in advanced.

    The color settings should be in C:\Documents and Settings\Anita\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop 7\ somewhere or they are in Photoshop's program directory under a Presets\Color folder

  • Colour change problem

    I have a layered .psd file with a cream background ( FFFDEB ) but after I save to web the cream colour has slightly changed ( FFFDEC ). The difference can be seen on web pages with FFFDEB background. I have previously created images which have saved correctly, so it can be done.
    .psd file is 8bit, RGB image. Cinema HD display was set to Cinema HD profile....I have changed this to sRGB IEC61966-2.1 but it appears to have made no difference. PhotoShop color settings at Europe General Purpose 2 but I have tried North America General Purpose 2.
    Please can you help?

    The problem is PhotoShop and not web problem
    I am just trying to help you understand what may be going on there -- Photoshop is a colormanaged app that Converts to Monitor RGB.  Unmanaged apps on a Mac, including Dreamweaver, (for practical explanation) assume/apply/assign Monitor RGB which may explain the difference you are seeing.
    layered PhotoShop file with a cream background. When I save it as a
    jpeg the cream colour changes it's value from FFFDEB to FFFDEC. It's
    close but the difference can be seen when I import it onto a
    Dreamweaver page with FFFDEB background colour.
    I am pretty sure Dreamweaver doesn't honor profiles and convert to Monitor RGB so Dreamweaver is more likely assuming/assigning/applying Monitor RGB to your graphic and page background colors when it displays them on a Mac monitor (exactly as an unmanaged Mac web browser).
    This would be very easy to validate in Photoshop:
    1) Open your original .psd in Photoshop, flatten it, Convert to 8-bit sRGB
    2) Check the RGB values, then
    3) View> Proof SetUp> Monitor RGB should duplicate what Dreamweaver is showing.
    Bottom line is get your profiles in order and learn how the Mac OS and Photoshop deal with tagged and untagged color.
    Good luck.

  • Colour rendering problem

    I've only just noticed this but I seem to have a problem with at least some of the images in my aperture library.
    The small thumbnails view correctly, if you use the loupe on the main display but as in the screenshot below the main preview window all the colours are washed out. This is especially noticeable on reds and yellows.
    This might have happened since applying 10.6.3 but I haven't been using aperture much with brightly coloured images (motorsport in the rain tends towards the dull side!)
    Any suggestions.....

    You use soft-proofing to see a simulation of what your image will look like in a different color space - mostly for printing. In the soft proof setup you choose a color profile (paper + printer) and Aperture shows you a simulation of what it will look like. You can use it for other things like viewing the image in sRGB to see if there are issues when you convert to that color space etc.
    Some software has explicit Gamma warnings if the color is out of gamut - aperture just shows you the image after conversion w/o explicit flashing horrific warnings. The space in your screenshot that is selected appears that the red is way out of gamut of whatever that colorspace is for. Aperture also has only one conversion model - relative color metric AFAIK. There are other translation models that maybe more appropriate for some applications but relative color metric is usually the one to go with unless you really know what you are doing.
    Hope that helps.

  • Adobe Bridge colour management problems

    It appears that jpeg images, converted from Neffs, are not being displayed correctly in Bridge, V2.1.1.9. They display overexposed and open from Bridge into Photoshop CS3 overexposed (faithfully overexposed to Adobe Bridge's representation) and yet shift clicking, or opening in Photoshop CS3 directly from the file the images display correctly. I have tried purging the cache for one of the offending folders but this has not resolved the issue.
    I have also Optioned clicked, on launch, and cleared all prefs - this rectifies the problem but once Adobe Bridge is relaunched the files initially preview correctly but then Bridge decides to amend (I can see this happening) and display overexposed thumbnails once again.
    It appears that all Canon jpegs saved from RAW (.CR2) files are okay. All Nikon NEFF files display correctly, as do Tiffs saved from the NEFFS, the error appears to be restricted to jpeg images saved from NEF files.
    I am using Leopard MacPro 2.8 quad - all Adobe and Apple software up to date, freshly installed and monitor calibrated - correct monitor profile being used, not hosed, as CS3 is good. I am not running the CS3 suite just Bridge, ACR and CS3.
    I didn't suffer from this problem on my previous PowerMac G5 (it recently died hence new MacPro), with the same images, using Tiger, Adobe Bridge and CS3 - could this be one of Leopard's many teething problems?
    I have some low res screen grabs to demonstrate the problem but I am not sure if, and how, I can upload them to this forum?

    PROBLEM SOLVED, sort of any way.
    I figured out my problem and it really has nothing to do with Bridge.
    Basically my D300 along with other digital cameras is adding additional information into the RAW format that Bridge and other programs like Apeture and Lightroom ignore. Stuff like D-Lighting, Color settings and other information that can make the picture look a specific way is simply dropped at import when opening in bridge because those certain settings are specific to Nikons RAW NEF files. Canon does the same thing on their RAW files as well.
    The reason people see the graphics change is because Bridge and other programs usually use the camera's JPG preview with all tweaks to first pull up the thumbnail image in Bridge. When the user clicks on a thumbnail to view the RAW file info or import it into Photoshop, Bridge interprets the RAW info as it can and opens the file. The extra information that helps the photos look a specific way are simply dropped because Bridge does not know how to apply that information.
    So unfortunately for now, I guess I am stuck with Capture NX from Nikon if I really want to see the image as it was taken originally without having to do extra work inside of ACR. And before anyone says it, I know you can build profiles that will import the RAW files the same way every time, but so far I have not been able to tweak the settings where the images look exactly the same to this point. It also looks like Nikons software does a much better job of importing the RAWs with less color noise. Too bad their program is slow and completely crappy to use. Kinda sucks, but I guess that is the name of the game right now.
    Laters,
