Custom color usage testing

A friend suggested this: What if users could upload vector
images, and preview how those images would look sporting various
selected color themes? In other words, you might upload a logo ...
or a mockup of apparrel ... or a vector mockup of a website. Then
you would link each of the five color wells in kuler to various
objects in the graphic (using a paint bucket tool or something
similar). Whenever you selected a new color theme, or play around
with sliders or color matching methods, all of the linked colors in
the graphic you uploaded would change to match. THIS WOULD BE SO
COOL. It would take kuler from being "just another color picker" to
being something very dynamic and useful to graphic artists in a way
that hasn't been done before. Of course there would need to be some
basic limitations on file size uploaded, number of objects in a
vector image, etc. But since kuler is based on Flash, which is a
vector app, and since Illustrator works with Flash so well, I don't
think this would be so hard.

Arbitrary image support would be extra cool ... but a
selection of sample images would be better than nothing. The trick
would be coming up with a good set representative of typical CS
users. My recommendations off hand would be to include a few mock
page layouts, a couple apparel illustrations, a couple room
interiors, a couple mock website layouts, and maybe a few abstracts
that would illustrate the interplay between
foreground/secondary/background colors. I suppose (crossing
fingers) that step would pave the way for uploading arbitrary
images someday....

Custom color with Slog3 gamma

New to the FS7. Bought Doug Jensen's book, which is great. I'm not a DP but a director and editor who also handles the grade. Question: Is it "acceptable" to shoot in the custom color profile, and then set your gamma to slog3? Does this get you anything? We shot some outdoor run and gun stuff over the weekend in Cine EI, sgmut3.cine/slog3. Looks good post-grade as a decent first-pass; I'm just wondering if there is anything gained by shooting custom with slog3? More control? Or does that make using slog3 more complicated?

The obvious disadvantage to shooting slog3 in Custom mode is that you can't use LUTs in camera as an exposure tool.
Also, you can't really (properly) use any LUTs designed for slog3/sGamut3.cine in post... because although your gamma in Custom mode is slog3, your colours are likely handled by Matrix settings that the LUT isn't expecting, and so the results post-LUT might look off.
There was also talk and tests on the F5/F55 sub-forum by Dennis Hingsberg suggesting (proving?) that slog3 in Custom isn't actually the same as slog3 in CineEI... it is slightly off. I assume this would be the same with the FS7.
The things you gain by shooting custom mode are in-camera noise reduction, full custom white balance and in-camera image sharpening controls/Matrix controls etc.

How can I use custom colors and not presets when using Smart Brush Tool Color?

I don't see a way to use the color picker tool or change the color to custom colors. Please help.

This tool employs a gradient adjustment layer. In the layers palette, double click the layer thumbnail, not the name.
Then, double click the gradient bar to bring up the gradient editor.

ICal custom colors?

I know that recently users have been having issues with iCloud not saving calendar colors. I had this too, but that seems to be fixed. The problem is that it fixed itself in iCloud, but the custom colors don't come through to my iPhone or iPad. I've verified the custom colors in iCloud and they show up in 3rd party apps, just not in the actual iCal app. It seems to be syncing fine other than that. I can't seem to find any info on how to fix it so I don't know if it's an isolated problem or if there is even so anything I can do to fix it. Please help if you can.

I have the same problem. I have the custom colors on my mac and icloud.com, but the custom colors aren't showing on my iPhone or iPad. I'm using iPhone 5s and iPad Air.
Yes, very frustrating as I always go by the colors in the calendar. Unless enough people are having the same problem we may never see a fix. In the meantime, I'm looking at other calendars to use on my IOS devices.

How to create a "Custom Color" for highlighting? (Acrobat XI)

How to create a "Custom Color" for highlighting? (Acrobat XI)
The numbers in the RGB and other fields change as various numbers are changed.
I wanted to create a pale orange:
Hue               13      Red      255
Saturation   240      Green 177
Luminosity    86       Blue     140
I'd selected one of the orange squares in the color grid, to display the general orange area of the slider.
I moved the slider to select a pale orange, which generated the above numbers.   Since this wasn't directly available to save to a Custom Color, I tried to edit the numbers. Unfortunately, the other numbers changed, making it impossible to actually create a color.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Note: I used Techsmith's Snagit to show screen shots in a Word document.
When I attempted to browse and upload the file, the error message said "[The content type of this image is not allowed.]"
OK...what images *are* allowed?

Hi Don,
I saw Gilad answered your question in another forum post.
Do you have everything you need at this point?

How do I get a custom color profile into a PDF?

I have a client who provided a custom color profile for a CMYK file.
I worked on Photoshop CS5.1 images and made sure the profile is embedded.
I placed these Photoshop images into an Illustrator CS5.1 template and made sure the profile is embedded.
I need to create a hires PDF with the Press Quality settings from the Illustrator file.
I have been doing a Save As to PDF from Illustrator, which seems to work.
OK, that's when my troubles start.... When I go into Acrobat Pro X v10.0.0 nothing indicates my profile is there.
I even have the profile loaded into Acrobat.
The client seems to want the Paper Simulation to show their profile, but the profile does not even come up in the list when I look for it. It seems to default to RGB even though this is a CMYK file.
I messed this up once already, and I need to get it right this time.
The client is in Germany and they sound very angry when they don't get the proper files.
Help!

Custom colors and fonts in in-context editor?

I have added some custom colors and font families in our partner portal > online editor settings for a client site. When editing a page or web app item in the Manage tab of the admin console, I can see these colors and fonts in the editor. However, when going to the Edit tab (in context editing), and clicking on a block with ice:editable='html' I only see the standard fonts and colors.
Does anyone know if this is a known issue? Or is there some workaround to get the custom colors and fonts into the in context editor?

It's all type, and afew 3D shapes I created, but I noticed when they were printed out by the printer at work, everything was quite fuzzy. However this occured when I saw that 24 MB was way too much to e-mail through my works server. So at that point I decided to make everything into a .gif and place them into Indesign and PDF them, by doing that i completey reduced the quality and the size, so after it printed it was very pixailized on the edges, and the colors were a few tones off....
I guess I just want to have the best of both worlds a small pdf and good quality...

Custom Color Palette

I work with several sites that use very similar colors, which
I find myself using over and over again. How can I save a set of
custom colors to a palette and bring it up for use at a later
date?

Open the Swatches palette menu and select the Clear Swatches
option.
Click in the Fill color box on the tools panel and drag the
built in
color picker to a color you want to select for your custom
palette.
Once you click on the color, move the color picker over to
the swatches
panel, where it becomes a paint bucket cursor.
Click in the Swatches panel to add the selected color.
Repeat until you've built your entire custom palette.
Open the Swatches panel menu again and choose Save Swatches.
Name your palette and save it somewhere on your hard drive.

Custom Color Palette - Chart Designer

Hi all, I need to change the colors that my pie chart uses. You can do this in chart designer under the global settings section. The property, color pallete has 4 selectable entries, Frog, Streamline, Tradeshow, and Custom. By selecting "Custom", this means that I can choose the exact colors that I want to use, right? If so, where and how do I specify the colors for my custom color palette. Any reply would be appreciated. Thanks.
Regards,
Rich Heilman

Hi Rich,
Did you go through my post here https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/profile?userid=397656 ? I`m not 100% sure that you are able to do this using only Chart Designer. The problem is that you need association between series data id in cutomization XML and data XML. If you know such id on design time, you can re-design my example by moving generated piece of XML from WD to static customizing XML.
Best regards, Maksim Rashchynski.

Custom Color Palette for Charts

Hi all,
Can I define the colors of a chart by a custom color palette in Design Studio (as you can do it in Web Intelligence) or does SAP intend to implement such a function in a next release? With CSS this isn't fully possible, because it doesn't allow you to coloring the additional line like the corresponding main line.
I've already seen and commented this post Re: Custom Color Palette for Charts / CSS, but it's still unanswered. Maybe I've with a new discussion more success.
Thank you and kind regards
Silvan

Custom color palette in WAD charts

Hi BI Experts,
we are trying to create a custom color palette, which we want to apply to all your WAD charts.
Can anyone tell us how to do this?
Of course we can customize the colors in each chart, but that's a hell of a lot of work. Moreover, there doesn't seem to be any way to save the custom colors, but we have to recreate the colors with the color picker for every single chart.
The WAD chart wizard allows to choose between color palettes "Enjoy", "Streamline", "Tradeshow" and "User specific".
If it is not possible to create a custom color palette, can we modify one of these SAP color palettes? What does "User specific" mean?
Any help will be much appreciated (and of course rewarded with points).

Moin, bei dem Problem kann ich leider überhaupt nicht helfen. Solltest Du allerdings, wie ich annehme, in Göttingen studiert haben und dann ein paar Jahre in den USA gewesen sein, dann melde Dich doch einfach mal, so Du Lust hast.

Custom Color Palette for Charts / CSS

Is there a way of creating a custom color palette for charts (as you can do it in WebIntelligence) and install it on the tomcat?
Or will I have to set my custom colors in the css? And if so: where can I find a description of classes for Charts? Is there any description of css classes at all? All I could find was a list of classes for a crosstab (but no description).
Thank you
Carola

Custom Composed Look not appearing in Change the Look with custom color palette

Hi,
I created custom color palette, (which was a copy of one of the out of the box ones) and uploaded it to the Themes folder under a different name. I then went to the Composed Looks and created a new Composed Look(using the New
Items), which the seattle master page, and the new color palette that I created.
When I go to Change a Look, the new Composed Look does not appear as part of the options.
When I change the color palette of the Composed Look, to one of the out of the box ones, I see it I the Change a Look page.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

I would check two things. First, did you check in the spcolor file you created? Second, I would review all of the properties of your composed look found in "/_catalogs/design/AllItems.aspx". You might want to copy and paste all properties (except
title and name) and see if your new composed look shows up in "Change the look". Then link to your own custom spcolor file.

How do you set up a custom color for the standard screen mode

This new colour scheme has not enough contrast for it to be readable, so I was pleased to find custom screen mode. However, there seems to be no way of setting up a custom color for this. In addition, the icons are so small they are unreadable. Is there any way of making them bigger. I have a 20" and a 22" monitor working together, but they are still not clear enough to use.

Hi there
Are you referring to the tool icons in Photoshop CS6? There are a few options you can change to help make the interface more readable, but unfortunately, there is not an option to enlarge the tool icons.
It sounds like you may have discovered this already, but if you go to Photoshop > Preferences > Interface, you can change the color of the Photoshop CS6 interface.
You can also enlarge the UI text size in this same window, in the Text preferences box.
You can also make the size of your layers thumbnails larger. You can do this by clicking on the small menu in the upper right hand corner of the Layers Panel and selecting Panel Options.
Here you can change the size of the layers thumbnails.
I hope this helps you out a bit!
