Acrobat 8:color picker for the "fill" option is no longer available.

I have Acrobat 8 and am creating a fillable form with the check box tool and text field tool. 8 of the 9 pages worked well but on the 9th page the color picker for the "fill" option is no longer available. It is still available for "Text". I cannot find the cause for this and would like to know how to reactivate the color picker. Please advise. Thanks!

Those instructions still work for me - you are selecting a free app in the store and clicking on 'create Apple id' (the instructions won't work with an existing account) when 'buying' the app ?

Why not put a color picker in photoshop benchmarks?

why not put a color picker in photoshop benchmarks?

Your message says "Photoshop" in the subject, but what does a color picker have to do with benchmarks? Could you explain more clearly what you're hoping to see accomplished?
Are you wanting to see a color picker operated 10,000 times to see how many seconds it takes to do that?
Is there an underlying problem, such as slowness in the operation of your color picker, that you're trying to expose here?

How do I use the color picker in Photoshop CC it will not pull in my swatches and how do I change swatches to another pallet from pantone?

How do I make the color picker work in Photoshop CC? It will not pull in my new swatch colors it just uses old pantone swatches?

Color Picker Freezing Photoshop

So, I've been having this issue for a while now where the color picker will completely freeze up Photoshop CS5 which usually means I have to force quit. It usually happens when I am trying to change the color of the text using the character window. I'm pretty sure it has to do with the age of my computer, but I would like to be sure before I contemplate upgrading anything.
Here are my system specs:
Model Identifier: MacPro1,1
OSX 10.5.8
Processor: 2 x 2.66 GHz Dual-Core Xeon
Memory: 16 GB 667 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM
If you need any more info to help me fix this, just let me know. Thanks!

If you are working with text it may be a bad font. Try same procedure with a different font and see what happens.

New Kodak plugins for Photoshop

When reading the News items at the dpreview.com site, I noticed the announcement of some new plugins for Photoshop and compatible programs.
http://www.dpreview.com/news/0702/07020101kodak.asp
The asf.com Kodak site seems to say compatible with PSE 1, 2, 3 for the non-pro plugin.
Does anyone know about PSE 5?
The color restore of the ROC plugin looks interesting.

I have installed the Pro Version of the ROC plugin. It works with PSE V5.
During the installation, I specified that it gets installed in the folder C:\Programme\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 5.0\Plug-Ins
This seems to be important (in my first attempt to install it, I did not override the folder specification, and PSE 5 did not find the plugin).
Personally, I find the plugin very expensive: nearly 50 US$ for the normal version, nearly 100 US$ for the professional version. This seems to be especially expensive when comparing these costs with the PSE license costs and when considering that each one of the Kodak Plugins cost these 50/100 US$
But of course, for those PSE users who have an important need for it, the 50/100 US$ might be worth it. I wonder however, whether there are similar plug-ins that are much less expensive or even free.
Personally I would welcome a decision of Adobe, to provide in future similar plug-ins (or sets/packages of similar plugins) at a much more reasonable price. Perhaps Adobe could provide reasonably priced sets of plug-ins that include among other some of the really nice photo-enhancements capabilities/dialogs of Lightroom. I should probably describe this in the "Feature Request" forum.

Can I pop out the color picker in Photoshop CS6?

Hey everyone,
I am doing digital painting in Photoshop CS6, and would love it if I could keep my color picker open in a separate window. Does anyone know how to do this? I've seen an artist named Feng Zu do this in a painting tutorial video, but he doesn't explain how.
Thanks!

You can also get to a HUD (Heads Up Display) version of the Color Picker by holding down the Control+Option+Command keys on a Mac (Alt+Shift+Right Click on a PC, I believe)
But I personally find the HUD color picker unintuitive and problematic.
If you find a way to keep a floating Color Picker window, post back. That could be convenient.

Color picker for text in Mac OS X Lion Mail is not working properly

I found a bug in Mac OSX Lion Mail program. I tried it on 3 different machines and they all act the same. When you compose a new message in mail and you change the color of the text to another color than black with the color picker, the text changes to the apropriate color. If you try to select that same text and try to revert it's color to black again using the color picker, the text bocomes blank and you cant see it anymore.
Does anybody have the same problem as I do?

Same problem here - it's a bug which hopefully will be fixed in a future update.
In the meantime, here is a workaround:
Highlight the text you want to change
Click on the color icon
Click on "Show Colors"
Run the "Back slider" a little up, and then all the way back again.
This should make the text black again - it's a little cumbersome to say the least, but it does the trick

Color Picker for Web

I often do website images for developers. The problem i am having is matching the web color from a color pick in ps. I have used a method where s i take a screen shot on my MAC and then pull that into PS cs5 (I have cs6 also) and pick. Then i export for web (png or jpeg).
This method gets me inconsistent results. Is there a better way or a small utility for this?

I have Ps set up correctly as i tweaked settings the last time i had a color problem. My screen shots are LZ77 which i think carries SRGB. I have a custom calabration for my LED monitor. This adjustment was for yellow. done by a a friend with an xrite.
I do not think it is about the screen so much as how the color is being read. if i am seeing a certain purple on the web. my screen may softly tint it but its tinting everything on the screen and its effects would be universal.
its how how i am sampling i believe to be the issue.
Ps. i am set up to see what the color type is and i have the choice to convert.

Illustrator CC - Color Picker for BLACK always shows 60C:90M:0Y:0K

In Illustrator CC, the color picker in the tool bar when showing 100% Black Text always comes up as 60% Cyan, 90% Magenta and nothing else. The little box on the tool bar will be black. The text will be black. But if I double click on the little box and get the Color Picker Window to appear, it has 60% Cyan and 90% Magenta filled in. If I change it to 100% Black and nothing else, hit enter, it will show as black but if I open the picker again, it will still be 60C 90M.
It only does this with 100% Black. If I have any other color it shows accurately as it should.
When Color separated the file is comes out right with the 100% as I want it. So really, its not a problem thats ruining the file its more of a preview thing and I am just curious as to why its doing it.
Illustrator CC 18.0.0 2014 Release.
Mac OSX 10.9.5 Mavericks.
In CMYK Mode. Blacks set to display accurately.

OBB,
I wonder whether it is a (hitherto unnoticed) bug, in which case a ug report would be called for,
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
or a corruption of preferences or something similar, in which case the list (maybe especially 4) or 6)) would be called for.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media, see below. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.
http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
External media: It is always recommended here to open/save from/to own hard disk, and to copy from/to networks and removable media. You may be lucky (for a while), but the chances of file corruption and other unpleasantnesses are immensely greater when you use anything but the harddisk, and it is better to be safe than sorry.
In addition to the (far greater) risk of file corruption, some issues are mentioned here:

New serial number for photoshop elements 9

I have photoshop elements 9, my computer has ceased working and need to reinstall on my new computer. How do i deactivate or get a new serial number for my programme. I am desperately trying to use the programme.

You shouldn't need a new serial, just use your present serial for pse 9 and if you have trouble activating pse 9 on your new computer or want to get back the activation you lost, use the

Wish: A color picker for the grad filter

When I use color for the grad filter, I often wish I could pick the color from my image. It is "fiddly stuff" to get the color right with the color panel as it is now.
It would be great to have a color picker that takes the color from a chosen spot in the image.

Oh I see, sneaky little devil!

Needing Help with color setting for Photoshop 4 + imac

Hi, Is anyone able to assist me please. To cut a long story short. i have had to reinstall my original software onto my Imac as when i put on Snow leopard it was just slowing down Photoshop 4 and would keep crashing. So my problem is .... I had some prints printed today at Fuji and the prints have come back dark and just not up to scratch. I know that it is not Fuji, but my settings. I had someone set up my imac and Photoshop last time, but this time i will have to do myself and i just don't know what to set them at. Can anyone help please. Not sure if you need this info but i am in New Zealand. many thanks in advance.

Being in the business of printing other people's image files, I can say without any doubt that the advent of digital image processing has definitely muddied the waters to a much greater extent than was the case when printing negaive film. I'm also a shooter, and have been using such programs for many years, so I can understand the desire to manipulate your files before sending them to the lab. Color negatives never had "Profiles" attached to them. If the proper film was used for the lighting conditions, it was simply up to the lab to make sure the resulting print was in balance, both in color and density. It was also the lab's responsibility to maintain a degree of quality control that would make all of the above possible and repeatable. I have to agree with the other response to your question. Whether or not you have an embidded a profile, it's always the job of the printer to make sure the final print is up to a certain standard of quality. If that is not the case, find another printer. Unless you have indicated that your files should be printed without any corrections, the oweness belongs to the lab/printer. I do have a few customers whose work I can print with very few corrections, due to the fact that they have calibrated their displays and have a very tight workflow. However, the vast majority of files that I print require a considerable degree of correction, that's my job. It's also the job of your lab/printer and if they are nor satisfying your needs you have to find someone who does. I have printed many files that have no profile embidded and I simply convert them to my working color space(Adobe RGB 1998). If you are concerned about doing color settings, this is the obvious place to start. Create a custom space and make sure your working color is set to Adobe RGB 1998, not sRGB. Adobe RGB 1998 is a considerably larger color space with a wider gamut and will allow for more choices and a wider range when it comes to processing the image. Pro Photo RGB is an even larger color space, but one that is seldom used at this time. I suspect it will become more popular in the fairly near future, as other technologies continue to push the color gamut envelope.
So, I guess the gist of all of this is that you need to either have your lab/printer redo the dark prints, or find someone who knows how to print. And equally important, someone who cares about your work as much as yo do.
I am attaching a screen shot of my color settings and I would suggest this might be a good place to start.

New Mac Pro for Photoshop

Hi,
I currently have a 2008 Mac Pro 2 x 2.8 Quad Core Intel Xeon that I am thinking of upgrading.
My questions are as follows.
Which set up would be best for photography based work, mainly Photoshops CS6 and Lightroom 4
I use a Drobo as my main working raid style hard drive.
I'm happy to spend money on a quality system but want to know it will be optimum for what I am using and dont want to just go for the 'top of the range' if it is pointless for the type of work I am doing (I never use video software at all)
Would there be a 3rd party company that would be better suited to set it up exactly for photography based work.
Am I right in saying the current Mac Pro's do not have thunderbolt or USB 3.0, so with that in mind, how long do people speculate that the new Mac Pro's will be available.
Thanks in advance.
Jason

YOU can see what Intel says (said?) at the Intel Conference this fall where they lay out for their vendors and everyonne what they plan and have in the oven for the next year.
Intel fell behind last year's plans with the complexity and issues they ran into, plus changes in the landscape. So did Nvidia with their new line. Hence everyone's plans went bonkers. And any IvyBridge Xeon? doesn't look like anything until this time next year, end of 2013. 2014 does have the next tic-toc and improved chips and memory architecture. DDR4 may get out of the labs.
That much is knowable.
But what you can do today: 2010 6-core 3.33 w/ 4x8GB and GTX 670 plus some nice storage hardware.
See this guy's articles and advice, a heavy graphics perspective:
www.macperformanceguide.com
Oh, and just my own personal.... a lot of 2008 owners are not happy campers for various reasons with power, stabilty, sleep/wake/freezes and maybe that 'first Mac Pro w/ EFI64" is showing crack in seams.
2010 for $1800 and up to around $3k - and your system is worth over a grand still once you can move over.

Installing New Color Looks for Color 1.5 - Invalid Location?

Hi I downloaded the New Looks for Color 1.5 that Apple provided, which are basically new boxes for the Color FX tab in Apple Color 1.5.
In the installation instructions, it says to copy the folders into this location: /Users/username/Library/Application Support/Color/Effects/
The problem is, this location doesn't seem to exist. There isn't a folder called "Library" in the Users/username folder. When apple sent out Lion, did they change the way this path is structured or something?
I do find a "Library" folder in the root level of my boot drive. And it does have a folder in it called "Application Support," but there isn't a "Color" folder in it. Does anyone have any ideas where the real location is to install these files?
Incidentally, I did try looking in the Color FX Bin tab inside the Color FX room in Color for information. I tried searching in finder for any of the pre-existing Looks that are listed there, but they don't come up anywhere on my system...though they are there in the application. Perhaps the real file name is something different than is listed there?
Thanks!

Click on the GO menu when in the FINDER. Between VIEW and WINDOW. Now, while clicking on that, press and hold the OPTION key. You will see LIBRARY APPEAR. Choose it.
