CS5 - change colour in all gradient

I have a file that has 4 or 5 sections. Each section has a separate gradient fill, but all sections gradients are based on the colour blue. Each section has 3 paint fill slider options in the gradient option.
I want to change the colour blue in each section\panel to red, but retain the original gradient settings. So like a colour replace option from blue to red in the entire file.
Is there an easy way to do that, or do I have to manually change the colour in each blue slider fill option in the gradient tool.
I have probably not explained that very well so have included a pic of the three slider options in one of the blue sections. So in each of the 3 slider options change from blue to red but keep the existing gradient settings.

The key is to retain the original ( as shown in your screen grab ). Open Swatches > Gradient. If the original gradient is not in the Gradient Swatch panel, drag it from the Gradient palette to the Swatch palette. When you do this, you can always fall back to the original just in case. Do the Swatch save for each Blue version of the Gradient. Then, yes you would create a new Red version, but only once for each Gradient swap. Then, in a copy of the original artwork, select each Gradient in the file and swap it using the Swatch palette where you will find both the original Blue version and the new Red version you dragged from the Gradient palette to the Gradient Swatch palette.

How can i change the background colour of all folder windows at once

how can i change the background colour of all old folder windows at once?

There are, however, thousands of calendar apps available in the App Store. They use the same data that the built in app does. Perhaps one would better meet your needs.
Best of luck.

How can I change the grey colour of all window headings they're too hard to see?

how can I change the grey colour of all window headings they're too hard to see?

Hi Chris,
The only way that I know of to change the colour of the window headings, these,
is in the System Preferences > Universal Access > Seeing > Display and change the White on Black settings, using grey scale in there to helps, but it also opens a hole lot of other issues as it reverses all colours throughout the system. You can switch it back and forth as shown on this setup screen.
Other than that, maybe changing the screen resolution so that all items are larger or zooming the screen when you require it by holding the Control button and scrolling the mouse or two finger scroll on the trackpad.
There may be, of course, a third party app that changes the colours by searching google.
Hope this helps

CP8 Unable to change colour on gradient by entering RGB

Hello,
I have come across something that I have never had a problem with in previous versions of captivate. When attempting to enter my RGB colours in a gradient - black is the only colour it keeps reverting to? See below image - I entered in 255, 109 and 34. Colour picker reverts back to black. Is there something I am missing here? I would greatly appreciate anybodies help?
Thank you kindly

IDCS3 Mac Applying effects changes colour of images and other objects

Something strange happening in InDesign CS3. Hope someone can help me.
When I apply an effect such as drop shadow to an object the colours of all the other objects on the page change. When I say change I mean almost like converting profiles (e.g. rgb to cmyk). The colours change on all the objects of the page but does not affect objects on other pages of the same document. Does applying an effect such as drop shadow or gradient alter the colour profiles of other objects?
Very puzzling. Is it a bug or am I doing something wrong?
I am on a Powermac G5 running Tiger. My colour settings are (throught Bridge) ProPhoto RGB and Coated Fogra 39 for CMYK.
Profile mismatches are set to preserve embedded profiles for both RGB and CMYK.
Regards
Jach

Thanks Peter for your quick response.
Your answer was spot on. Changing the transparency blend space to Document RGB has put it right.

Is there a way to format multiple images at once? Change colour mode or resolution?

Is there a way to format multiple images at once? Change colour mode or resolution?

It's very easy to make an action.
Go to window > actions
In the actions panel, simply click the 'create a new action' button, it starts recording as soon as you've created it (when you've given it a name).
Now you can apply the changes you want to make to the images on the file you have opened.
After you've done all you need to do. You click the 'stop' button. The action is now ready to use. And you can apply the changes you made on all the other files.
Then you can continue how gener7 explained.
I usually include a save and close command, so that the whole batch doesn't end up opened after running the script.
But if you do that you have to create a new file, and save it to your computer before you start recording the action, otherwise the save command will be replaced by each file. And you'll end up with one edited file in the end. At least for as far as I know!

Camera raw images change colour in adobe bridge

I have photoshop CS4 and import my camera raw images into Adobe Bridge. When I view the thumbnails in bridge my raw images look vibrant and exactly like they appear on the camera but when I go to open them in camera raw edit they change colour and look washed out before I've made any changes. Can anyone help me figure out how to correct this?

My camera is set to shoot sRGB JPGs and is set to all zeros for the brightness/contrast/saturation parameters.
What is your camera set to as far as these basic toning settings, as well as any automatic things like DLighting or highlight compression and perhaps any custom curves or whatever that is called for Nikons?
First paragraph - so is mine.
Second paragraph - all other settings are neutral/zeroed/turned off, as per my post to which you responded. That is, no additional tone curves - Active D-Lighting turned OFF (why anyone would let the camera decide what to do do with highlights and shadows is beyond my level of trust) , Jpg compression is Optimal (least possible) et cetera.
Think I now have an explanation for the different displays in ACR (and Bridge) that I have been experiencing. Took a new duplicate Jpg/Raw shot with the in-camera Picture Control set to Neutral. Now, when both the Jpg and .NEF Raw are viewed in ACR, with the ACR Camera profile set to Camera Neutral, they appear, ASAICT, identical. Saved Camera Neutral as the default ACR Camera profile. Now back in Bridge, the images also appear pretty much identical.
I think what was happening previously was that I had failed to save Camera Standard in ACR as the default Camera profile, and it was defaulting to Adobe Standard, and hence it was rendering Raw thumbnails for Bridge to that Camera profile - hence the difference in appearance between the Jpg and Raw in Bridge. Unless I have got it completely wrong, I think my problem is now solved.

CS5 changes file name on command+save from photoshop to Lightroom

Recently CS5 changes the names of my files to "untiteld" when I press "command + S" that have been exported from LR3. This doesn't happen to files opened directly from their original folder.
I can save them to a different location using "command +shift+ S" and the original name stays intact.
Any ideas on how I can fix this?
Thanks
Greg Eddinger

No problem. Waiting for a video rendering and upload to finish ;-)
If it is fixed in another account than it is highly likely that a develop preset or default gets applied to your images. This happens quite easily and has happened to me unknowingly too. Basically you would by accident have hit the Reset button in Develop while the option key was pressed. What you want to do is to go into Preferences->Presets and hit the button that says "Reset all default Develop settings". Then hit reset on your image. If none of that works, you can always trash the Lightroom preferences file. Quit out of Lightroom, go to the Finder. Hit command-Shift-G. Type ~/Library/Preferences/ in the display that you get to reveal the hidden by default preferences folder in your home account. Find the file that is called com.adobe.Lightroom5.plist (you might not see the plist extension on your computer) and drag that to the trash. Now start Lightroom again and your Lightroom should behave as if you just installed it. You might have to point it to your catalog file if it doesn't open with it there but with an empty catalog. File->Open Catalog-> select your main catalog.

Changing Colour of only selected cells in MS excel..??

Hi,
I read in SAP Help that it is possible to change formatting (colour, border etc) for few cells using style sheets, so after doing the required changes and storing it under new style name when I press SAVE on screen 3 of layout builder it changes the colour for all the other cells in my layout sheet..and if i rerun the layout if all the cells come in the changed color..plzz give me any suggestion how to go about doing it..??
and is there any way to insert subheadings/rows in my layout..?..I am only able to do it by making the row as comparison column which requires me to assign some values in all my lead columns for that specific row..which looks just same like any other row but I just want it as subheading.
Please advise..
Thanks & Regards
Rohit

Hi Rohit,
When you change the style it will change all other cells with the same style. The only way I know of to change specific cells is to use the VB exits provided. This will only work if you are not using the web.
As for your row. If you have defined the layout as one with specific row definitions you can create blank lines in the layout by giving a row number with no selections. You can then put your sub-heading directly in the excel.
Mike.

Exported PDF changes colour depending on software its viewed on

Hi
I've searched on the forums but can't find a solution to my problem. I export my design to PDF in indesign CS6 and looks fine on my Windows 8.1 laptop, but when the printer company open it up in their software it changes colour. I can replicate it viewing on my iphone for some reason.
Please see the below pictures to see what I mean:
Correct colours:
Dropbox - Correct Colour.png
Incorrect colours:
Dropbox - Incorrect colour.png
PDF export settings:
Dropbox - PDF Settings.png
Please let me know if you need anymore details.
Thanks
Stephen

@Stephen – you told us where you see the incorrect colors. But you did not tell us where the printing company sees the incorrect color. What is there application? An iPhone has no color management. It is no color proofing device. Not at all!
As Willi already pointed out: Acrobat Pro will qualify, Adobe Reader will qualify.
"Correct color" is a wide field… ;-)
And on not-callibrated monitors or devices the numbers of individual colors count (always coupled with their output intent, of course).

When I open my Colour Picker, the middle block (which normally shows the colour in a gradient of shades) is just a solid colour depending on which H, S, B, R, G, B I have selected. How do I revert it back to normal?

Becky,
It seems that the issue is caused by a corrupt folder called en_US or similar (depending on language) within the Adobe Illustrator 18 Settings folder, see post #7 by Jules in this thread,
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1595766
so the solution should be to move or rename that folder (or the whole Adobe Illustrator 18 Settings folder).
You can find the folder in Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed.
As a temporary roundabout way, you can select the lower rectangle to the right of the rainbow and DoubleClick to apply that to change the top rectangle and the values: the lower colour is the right one.

Illustrator CS5 Changing dot lpi and angle dialog box not opening

Hello! I am having trouble with Illustrator CS5 changing the dot lpi and angle. I have my problem typed out below the image. Please help if you can! Thank you!

You could also save yourself a lot of work by creating an ink template .ait with all of the angle/frequency values preset.
1) Simply create a new document, size the artboard to your typical size and create a series of color chips (squares) each colored with one of your typical inks. It looks like you're doing t-shirt seps so you probably have about 20 or so inks you use all the time.
2) Go into the print settings and set all of their angle and frequency values and click done.
3) Choose File->Save As Template (you can delete the color chips if you want at this point, the swatches will remain)
Now whenever you start a new document, choose File -> New From Template
Any new artwork you create can be colored with the existing swatches and you'll find the angle / frequency settings are already set.
Any forum posts links send to my twitter @ask_illustrator will be answered at the forum and via twitter.

Best way to change colour of shapes

Hi, i am using the code below:
public static Color shapeColor; for storing the current colour
public void paint(Graphics g)
 Graphics2D g2D = (Graphics2D) g;
 for (Shape tempS : allShapes)
 g2D.setPaint(shapeColor);
 g2D.fill(tempS);
 } note that allShapes is an arraylist which stores all my shapes
In another class i call the static variable and change it according to wat the user has selected.
My problem is that when i change the colour, the colour for all my shapes change. For example if i create a shape with the colour green and then create another shape with colour blue, both will be blue.
Thanks for your time.
