[CS4] Change color of Sequence markers

Not having found any hints that changing color of sequence markers is possible either googling or the help file I'm hoping against hope its possible and I'm just not using the right strings in my searches.
So is it possible to change the color of sequence markers in CS4. To me the default is hard to find on timeline and not hardly distinguishable from the center marker you can use to drag the work area around. Making them a more noticable color would be pretty useful I think.

No, but it's a fine feature request.

CS4: Change color of line indicator/outline tool (not line itself)

I couldn't find an answer in any of the resources - possibly because I don't know the right term.
I am talking about the line that is displayed during the period that you draw a line - from the time you click the mouse, until you release it. There's a thin greyscale line indicating the outline of the item you are drawing.
I'm working on ultrasound images, full of greyscale spots. In order to draw lines as precisely as possible, I would prefer that the outline that is displayed while I'm trying to draw my line as correctly as possible, has another color.
I know how to change the color of lines that I have drawn, that are part of the image. What I need is to change the color of the line indicator/helper tool that ONLY shows WHEN I'm drawing a line, and is not really a part of the image.
Hope you can help!

It's a well-known shortcoming that the path that's drawn with the pen is hard to see under some circumstances.
One thing: Its appearance is a little different with OpenGL Drawing disabled vs. enabled. What's your setting (Edit - Preferences - Performance)?
If you're not in need of the OpenGL features, disabling OpenGL Drawing could be helpful in making your paths somewhat more visible. Such a change is not without downsides, but perhaps it could serve as a workaround for you.

How do I Batch change color profiles in CS4?

I need to change color profiles on hundreds of photos at a time. CS4 does not give me that option it seems, only lame options i'll never use

Probably easiest would be recording an Action of a conversion and running that with File – Scripts – Image Processor; Batch or Droplets are other ways of using an Action.
Scripting would be another option.
Which options exactly do You mean with »lame options«?

Can anyone tell me why a picture would change color when I try to download/upload it? It is the exact same picture- chosen the same way and when it goes to any other program it changes the color (I've tried canvas on demand and mpixpro. I've also tried

Can anyone tell me why this picture changes color when I try to download/upload it? It is the exact same picture I have taken from the same location. The image on the left is via preview and the image on the right is what is shows like when I try to download it. I have emailed it to myself and it shows fine on the computer and in CS4, but when I look at the download via my phone or on another computer it shows the wonky color on the right. I have checked the color space shows RGB/8 bit. Any ideas why or how to fix it? It isn't with any one specific session.... and I've tried it on both my desktop and my laptop- saved image to an external hard drive and to drop box. I've tried sending the image to canvas on demand, my email, mpxipro, POST editing- all the same result. Please HELP!! What am I doing wrong?

Most of the time you see something like that. The image in question has a color profile other then sRGB. Some image viewers/displayers are color managed and others are not. So the image do not look the same in all of the applications you use. So colors seem to change.
Try converting it to sRGB color and see if then looks the same all around. Also I think PC and Mac displays are set to different gamma something like 1.8 and 2.2
Though I'm colorblind I even see color variations.

My Illustrator does not allow me to change colors using swatches panel. Help pleas.

Few days ago I started having strange problems with my Illustrator CS5 application. I am using MacBook Pro with Intel Processor. After major update on the Mac OS few days ago I noticed I can not change colors in my drawings using swatches panel. The function on my Illustrator CS5 stopped working. When I select object and try to change its fill or stroke color using fill and stroke from the options bar above work space, none of the swatches would work. The are there how ever nothing hapends when I select them, the color remains the same.The same thing happens if I try to use the swatch panel, I select the object then I try to select new color from swatch but the fill or stroke does not change. I can only change color on my drawings using the color panel but that is not useful for me since I need to get precise colors using approved color swatches ether from pantone library or approved by client.
The other strange thing is my selection tool does not deselect when I click outside on or of the artboard, the object remains selected until I reselect another object or use the keyboard short cut to deselect it.
I have tried various options to resolve the issue from deleting and reseting preference to completely uninstalling and reinstalling Illustrator CS5. I even installed back my old CS4 version because I had to complete a project and the same issue is happens there as well. I also reset the application using Time Machine from few months ago when it was working correctly. What happens when I reset or reinstall the app, it works for about 10 min correctly as it should and and then it reverts to the same problem. I am out of options and do not know what else I could do to fix this. Right now I am working on my old Mac tower G5 and CS4 where everything works as it is suppose to, but I really need to get this fixed. Can any one help or has solution for my problem? Please.

How to change colors in Color Ramps

Hello,
I would like to use Color Ramps, and I need to change colors. In help documents, it say that I juste have to right click in the icon and change what I want. But I tried all option and I can't do anything I want.
Can you help me ??
Thanks
David

Seems that I'm not the only one to have problems with color ramps...
Nearly everything was explained in the on-line help. Nearly...
"Complete the following steps to change the colors of a color ramp.
1. Right-click the color ramp or a marker and select Marker Spacing»Arbitrary from the shortcut menu to switch the color ramp to arbitrary marker spacing.
2. Use the Operating or Positioning tools to right-click the marker next to the color ramp and select Marker Color from the shortcut menu to change the color associated with a marker.
3. Select the color you want from the color picker that appears."
Additionnal hints :
After switching to arbitrary marker spacing, suppress all intermediate markers (right click> Delete). Then adjust the colors of th
e two remaining end markers. With some ramps, you will be obliged to move slighty the marker position to get a color update.
If you need to insert intermediate colors, add intermediate markers (right click > Add). Using the text tool, type in the exact value associated with the marker. Select the color you want to associate with the marker.
When finished, switch back to uniform marker spacing.
Have fun...

PS file in illustrator changes color when I move it??

When I open a ps file in illustrator some objects change color when I move them and are displayed correctly in preview and Photoshop, why and how do I fix this?
Also the object seems to be duplicated. It should have the same and only the colors of the scale bar. In another file the image part is correct and the scale bar is incorrect.
Should look like this:

It is an odd problem. The "good" screen shot is from opening the PS file in mac's preview. As it is, I use several tools in illustrator to get the final image where I need it to be; several layers and what not. I have tired 5, 5.1, and 6 with the same problem. Again I have a different problem when I use a different figure:
As you can see just the opposite problem is the case. The map part is good while the color scale if off. Both parts are made in the same way and more or less in the same sequence, I don't think it is purely a problem at birth and other software can "see" it correctly, so I don't think it is a hardware problem.

Changing colors brings up a new dialog I've never seen before...

Hi,
I think I broke my Photoshop CS4.
For some reason, when I try to change colors anywhere (it could be the color of text, or the main foreground color) a dialog with swatches appears instead of the eyedropper tool I'm used to using in this scenario. I can't click on anything else in the screen except the options in this annoying swatches dialog.
It looks like this :
This is extremely annoying and frustrating, as this dialog won't tell me what the hexadecimal color values are (even when I click "Define Custom Colors").
As of right now, the project I was working on is stalled until I figure out how to make this thing go away and let me use the eyedropper tool to change the color of something.
This problem is new. I had my CS4 running since it came out and it never did this before.
Thanks for any help you can provide!

Why did my audio & video lines change colors?

I was working in a sequence when suddenly all my lines changed colors on me. The audio and video lines are the exact same shade of blue and its very disorienting. Even after I alter an audio clip in Audition the colors don't change. I've tried quitting, restarting my mac, opening older projects... I can't get the original colored lines back. Is this some new software update? How do I get the different colored lines back?

Okay let me rephrase. The color change is weird but not a major issue. The major issue is that my audio waveforms aren't being displayed anymore.
Even after I expand that audio line theres no waveform... I need to see where my audio is peaking. Any idea whats going on or how to fix?

Dreamweaver CS4 Code Coloring not updating

Hi,
Recently, when trying to edit the code coloring in Dreamweaver CS4, it will not update the colors after I hit "ok." Anyone know why this might be? I've tried restarting Dreamweaver, clearing the cache, and even seeing if it would work on new documents but none of that helps. Thanks for any help!

Are you sure you're changing colors for you open document ?
I have issue with coloring too, but I thought after all this time CS5 will finally have Save option for exactly this issue. So I don't have to repeat this over and over again.

*Clip and Sequence Markers.....clips don't allow comments like sequences markers??

is this the case?
I tried to double click the clip marker but it won't allow....contrary to when you click a sequence marker and add notes...
So is this just not engineered to do so with clip markers?
Any suggestions if not....?
I'm trying to run thru video edits and mark points of edits = for pictures, other media, pans...whatever...so what do you suggest is best?
Sequence markers obviously don't retain position when you edit/modify clips...
Thanks!! In a time crunch so sooner any feedback - the better

I have CS5 not 5.5
That would have been useful to know right away. There has been a huge change to the markers in Pr CS6, and that has generated a lot of questions about the new markers. I figured you were asking about CS6. Apparently, so did Jim since he asked about Prelude, which is new to CS6.

EDIT: Short answer to your question is no, it can't be done in CSNot6.

Drop down menu button will not change color

I have built a 6 button rollover dropdown menu bar in Flash CS4
On five of the dropdown menus I can get the buttons to change color
On the fifth dropdown I can see the button, but when rolled over I can't get the color to change.
I have moved the buttons on the fifth drop down to the first drop down button and they work perfectly.
Is this a bug in Flash CS4 or......
thank you
Sb!

I appreciate your reply but those arrows were not the ones I was trying to describe. In the same box where you would type your web address on the far right is a small star and then next to it an arrow pointing down. If you click on this arrow, it normally drops down a list of the websites you commonly use. Or, if you are on a website ordering something, there might be a similar arrow that you need to select in order to choose which shipping you might want such as ground, next day air, etc., these are the kinds of arrows that are not working correctly now. Any ideas on these? Thanks for trying to help me.

Sequence markers in FCP multiclip project cause error on send to STP

I have had problems with the procedure "send to soundtrack pro multitrack project" as it concerns a Apple ProRes(HQ) multiclip sequence. The send consistently resulted in an "Error sending selection to Soundtrack Pro" and a "General Error".
From what I can tell, the cause of the problem is the use of "sequence markers" versus "clip markers". This problem can be replicated consistently. The removal of "sequence markers" eliminates the error. There is no problem with the use of clip markers as far as I can see.
I believe this is a bug and perhaps it needs to be looked at since it certainly can stop the successful integration of FCP-7 and STP-3. The manual describes:
Important: Chapter, compression, and scoring markers are used only for sequences. When
you export a QuickTime movie, make sure that these markers have been added to the
sequence itself in the Canvas or in the Timeline ruler, and not to individual clips.
I have submitted a feedback to Apple, but perhaps some other users have some insight to this problem.

The default project for STP is setup correctly to use the Motu. In fact, if I create a default project the Motu works well and I get multiple tracks going to the appropriate 5.1 outputs.
I was able to get the audio to work ONCE and ONLY once by selecting "Undo Base Channel change" (not even sure how this was an option, nothing I selected) and then I had to select the headphone icon on each track to be able to hear it.
So, thinking I had solved this mystery I immediately saved the project. I opened the project up again directly in STP and you guessed it, I don't get any audio again!!! Argh!!!! This time checking/unchecking the headphones icon did nothing.
I'm about ready to toss in the towel on FCP and STP and will start looking for alternatives that have a well integrated package that works with my Motu Ultralite. Any suggestions are welcome for alternatives to FCP and STP.
Motu claim the Ultralite is fully compliant with OSX core audio and don't have any recommendations for FCP send to Multitrack STP issue.
In my efforts I thought I might be able to use Logic Pro but importing video doesn't import the associated audio so I have to export the audio separately -- becomes very worky.
I also tried to Export my sequence to a quicktime movie and then add the movie to STP under a new STP project -- this exhibited the same problem -- no audio.
I just don't know what to try next.

Ripple Sequence Markers toggle in 7.1 update?

I love all the new features of the recent 7.1 update including ripple sequence markers. However, I do not see how to toggle off this feature. It is very important to my work flow to keep markers locked to their set time as I ripple delete and insert edit in certain sequences.
Is there a way to toggle this feature on and off, or a way to set each individual marker to either ripple or not?

I like that feature request, as long as I can set a preference to either "ripple markers by default" or "don't ripple markers by default". And then set individual markers with a right-click > "don't ripple this marker". Or simply changing the ripple behavior on a case-by-case basis within the marker dialog for each marker.

Why do I get a program error when changing colors?

I get a 'Could not complete your request because of a program error' when I try to change colors on both the forground/background palette or from the color picker palette. Is there a patch for this?
