Creating black and white charts with patterns in Pages?

Hi. Does anyone know how to create black and white patterned charts in Pages (or other iWork application)? When making Charts in Pages (i have the most recent version), you can make all sorts of colored charts (bar charts, histograms, pie charts, etc.), but in preparing doumnets for publication i need all my charts in black & white. I can make histograms and bar charts using different shades of grey no problem, but i'd like to create histograms using black and white "patterns" like dots, horizontal lines, stripes, etc. Does anyone have any idea how to do this, or know where existing patterns can be downloaded for import into Pages?
Many thanks.

Don't export it as a .jpeg which is unsuitable for B&W images, blurring them as rgb files (not B&W).
Better is .tiff (compressed B&W tiff are tiny) or 1 bit .gif.
It is also possible that .pdf vector files might work but I haven't experimented with those.

This is very retro lo-tech with unattractive results, which is why I guess Apple hasn't bothered with them.

Scrolling with mouse on pages create black and white lines,

When scrolling with mouse, periodically the whole screen turns into black and white lines. Sometimes whole page, sometimes just pictures/side ads. If you continue to scroll it does go away but then you need to scroll back to where the lines started, its hard to explain, i have taken 1 photo of the problem but will take more photos as i can, i really enjoy how Firefox runs on my computer, it has always been the best browser for my needs. I did recently buy a new desktop, but it did it then also, so i removed it and tried running explorer and Google and i just don't like them, so i am hoping we can get this fixed.

Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

How do I convert a color jpg to a pure black and white jpg with no grey/shading?

how do I convert a color jpg to a pure black and white jpg with no grey/shading using Automator?

Hi mns579,
Thanks for your swift reply.
I'm afraid that sequence leads to a burn-out of some of the black text, making it unreadable.
To clarify, what I did was photograph pages from a book. The interior lighting of the room where I photographed these pages leads to a jpg image with slight graying or shading of parts of the page. So when I simply convert it to B/W, I get a washing out of some areas of the page where there is text, and this makes it unreadable.
I know that some software programs have a feature that allows a color jpg to be converted to b/w such that the text is made pure black and any surrounding areas of the text are made pure white (ie, all color is removed from the non-black areas), which makes for an easily readable b/w text page. Am I able to do this with my Mac, and if so, how using the Automator feature?
(I have more than 50 jpgs that I would like to clean up in this manner, hence the ability to do so through Automator is important.)
Thanks for your attention to this.

Black and white printing with a mac

I recently switched from a Dell Windows PC to an iMac with OS 10.9. I am using my old HP 6500e 710a Officejet All in One.
I typically print most of my documents in black and white which was available on the Windows 7 driver version.
On the iMac OS 10.9 driver version, I can only print in black and white in "draft" mode.
Based on another posting I saw on this forum, the drop down menu for another HP printer (I think 8300) had the feature to select B&W printing in any quality. Also, it had "grayscale" selectable.
I appears that my driver version V2.4.0-2 does not have the full compliment of options. HP needs to update this OS 10.9 driver.
Can anyone HELP!
This question was solved.

happytohelp01,
I received a response from HP Support pointing me to the following Apple software driver on the Apple support website; HP Printer Drivers v.2.16.1 for OS X.
It was at "http://support.apple.com/kb/dl907". Once I loaded it, I was given the following instructions:
Step 3: Change print settings
1. Open the document that you want to print
2. Click on File and then Print
3. Make sure the correct printer name is selected.
4. Below the Orientation option, there is drop-down menu. Select Paper type/Quality (Refer to the attached screenshot)
5. Click on Color Options.
6. Select Greyscale under Color
7. Click on Print.
You can create a Preset using the below steps so that you do not have to change the settings every time you print.
1. Click on Presets menu
2. Click on Create new Preset
3. Assign a preset name
4. Confirm to create the preset.
Next time, you can select this preset name to get the settings that you have made.
This allowed me to print in B&W at Normal quality.

How to create black and white pdfs from autocad drawing

I am trying to create a pdf from autocad drawing with searchable text. Using the default acad pdf driver, it will create searchable text for only TT fonts with width set to 1.0. We use the monochrome plot settings so pdfs are all black, even if drawing was in color.
Using 'create pdf' from Acrobat Pro, Acrobat pro will create a pdf from the autocad drawing easily with all text searchable, shape fonts, TT fonts, no matter what the width. Fantastic. However, there is no option that I can see to create the pdf in just black and white. It creates the pdf in drawings original colors. How do I create a black and white pdf using acrobat pro? Thanks.

The only way to change the color of the printouts from your iPhone is through HP's free mobile app "HP ePrint Home&Biz". This is available in the App Store.
Simply download and install the app, choose a file to print from within the app, then press the icon at the bottom right of the screen that is a wrench and printer. This should then give you the option to choose the color output. Make your selection, press "Done", then press "Print."
If you are not seeing this option, you may need to setup ePrint for the printer and then register the app. This registration will also give you more functionality with the app.

Black and White photo with splash of color

I just bought photoshop elements yesterday. I'm completely new to this and I want to know how to make a photo turn b/w, but keep a point of color,ex: a red hair bow but everything else b/w.

Another way is to create a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer over your photo. (It's one of the choices that is found on your layer's pallet under the black and white icon.) This will create an adjustment that can be masked.
Double click the adjustment layer with "Master" selected and move the saturation slider to -100. Once this is done you can use the paint brush to paint back color. (Black hides the adjustment; white reveals the adjustment; shades of gray provide a partial adjustment.)
I think the mask option is preferable to using the eraser because you can easily go back and refine the image if you make a mistake. It also gives you the opportunity to change your mind without having to start from scratch. Another advantage is that your image will have a smaller file size.
You can also use filters that work in gray scale on the mask. One useful one is Gaussian Blur. I like to paint my selection edges with a hard edged brush then soften (feather) the edges with the Gaussian filter. The Maximum and Minimum filters are useful if you need to expand or contract the mask edge a little.
If you want to have more control over the black and white adjustment, use the pull down menu in the Hue/Saturation adjustment dialog to select each color; reduce each of the colors to -100 Saturation; then go back and adjust the "lightness" slider of each color to taste.

Making black and white copies with the tri- color ink

I would like to know if using tri-color ink to print blank and white copies, drain the color ink too much when compared to using a black ink?

Hello @Rajeeeram,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you would like information regarding ink usage when copying and printing to your HP ENVY 5643 e-All-in-One Printer. I would like to offer my assistance with this today.
When you copy from your printer, the unit will only use the cartridge that matches the Black or Colour copy that you're performing. If you're performing a Black copy from your HP Envy, only the black cartridge will be used. If you're performing a Colour copy from your HP Envy, only the colour cartridge will be used. Therefore, you cannot perform Black copies with the Tri-Colour cartridge.
When you print from your computer, the computer may send the print job to the printer as an image file. Therefore, even if you are printing a black only document, colour ink may be used to enrich the document. Should this happen, you would be using colour ink without even realizing it.
On your computer you can set your printer to Black Ink Only if you do not want colour to be used in black and white documents. However, in order for me to walk you through adjusting this setting, I will need to know what Operating System you're using on your computer.
What's my OS?
I hope this helps clear up any confusion

Black and white photo with color added back

I want to be able to turn a photo black and white, then add color back in, say for instance a ball turned back to red only. How can I do that in elements 11? It's driving me crazy! Help

You need to duplicate your color photo.
1. Open your color photo in PSE11 Full Edit expert tab (A raw photo will open in camera raw so click the open image button too send it to the PSE interface)
2. On the Top menu click Layer >>Duplicate Layer >>OK
3. On the top menu click Enhance >>Convert to Black & White >>OK
4. If you can’t see the layers pallet to the right click Window >>Layers
5. In the layers pallet click add layer mask (the icon with a small circle)
6. Make sure your foreground color is set to black then select the brush tool
7. Click the mouse over the area where you wish to reveal color and use like an eraser to reveal the background below
8. To correct errors switch the foreground color to white, then switch back to black and continue
9. Save as PSD to preserve your layers and if you wish make a jpeg copy from the PSD file using File >> Save As
N.B. if your brush is too big or too small you can use the square bracket keys to adjust the size up or down.
The smart brush tool has black & white options but it does involve making selections which can be more tricky than using the ordinary brush.

Black and white photo with color

how do I leave color in a black and white photo ?

There are several ways, here is one:
Open picture file
Duplicate the background layer
On the background copy layer, remove the color (Enhance>convert to black and white)
Apply a mask to the background copy layer
Paint with a black brush where you want to reveal the color. If you go too far, correct with a white brush.

Can I create black and white movies using the iMovie app for the iPad?

I would like to make a black and white movie using the iPad iMovie app. Is it possible to film in black and white instead of color?

This may sound strange, but I actually got to the stage of regretting ACR several versions back, because you ended up with nothing to do in Photoshop. When you think how far ACR has come since then, you can see how Lightroom (with the same RAW conversion engine and features) is all most photographers need. Adding ACR as a filter inside Photoshop was a master stroke. I wonder who thought of it? Russell Brown would be a good bet, but Chris Cox has made it clear on more than one occassion, that us lay folk dramatically underestimate what goes into coding, intergrating, and proving new features.
BTW That was not a straight line for some joker lauch into tails of woe about all the bugs that make it into final release versions.

Black and White Charts

Is there any way to make my line charts black and white? I know there are several stroke options to make dotted lines, but there are only four and I need five. As well as the legend is not accurate.
Thanks!!

Orange,
The standard Legend only indicates the symbol, not the line type. You can make your own custom line Legends using Text boxes and Line Shapes. If you have chosen to use the same symbol for all your series, or no symbol at all, this is your only choice.

Creating black and white acad drawings

how do we set parameters for creating acad black and white PDF

Hi thomasa,
I do not see an option for conversion to B/W in Acrobat.
I looked under Edit > Preferences, Convert to PDF.
In the "Converting to PDF" list, I selected "Autodesk AutoCAD" and then clicked the "Edit Settings" button.
My recommendation is to convert to PDF and then use Adobe Acrobat XI Professional's Preflight tool to do the color conversion to B/W.
For instance, there is a built-in profile under "Digital printing and online publishing" that might work:
Digital printing (B/W).
I think there may be some trial and error involved.
You may want to post this question in the Acrobat "Printing & Prepress" forum.
Hope this helps,
Charlene

How do I make a black and white portrait with piercing color eyes or red lips

I am frustrated thus far with this PS elements 10 and trying to get answers on the internet is frugal as I've come across a solution which doesn't assist me with elements 10. Please help before I return this product

Make a copy of your background layer by hitting Ctrl+J.
On that background copy layer, use the Smart Brush tool. In the Options Bar for the tool, select the "Reverse Effects" effect, then its "Reverse Black & White" option:
Paint the eyes to get this:
At this point your layers look like this:
Ctrl+click on the mask icon of your reverse colour layer to select all the white area.
On the main menu bar, use Select...Inverse to invert the selection (so only the eyes are now selected).
In the Layers panel click the icon at the bottom to add a new Hue/Saturation adjustment layer. This layer will be automatically masked to the selection of the eyes.
Adjust the saturation and lightness sliders:
Your final image:
Your layers end up like this:
