Fill with solid color problem

Please, kindly help to find out why Photoshop fills a selection with transparent color while opacity and fill of a layer are set to 100% and blending modes are “normal”
Thank you!

Olga,
In that case I have no idea, sorry.
Only thing I can think off is to reset the preferences. When Photoshop is acting up this will sometimes make Photoshop behave.
But before you do this make sure you backup your actions, gradients, shapes, brushes etc or you will lose the ones you made yourself.

Why won't this fill with any color

i can draw on both pictures but on the second graphic i would like to fill with the color of my choosing but for some reason i can not

Try this. I didn't try to spend too much time straightening out wiring.
I had to fix up a few things in it. For instance, on mouse down, I did a move pen so that it wouldn't draw the first line from 0,0 or last end point all the time. It only works as a free hand drawing. It would be possible to do a point to point to point so that you could draw straight line objects (i.e. triangles, squares, etc.) , but you would have to come up with an alternate way to stop creating the array of points to be filled besides mouse up. Perhaps another button such as draw.

Filling with background color

hi, i am trying to do something that paints some controls on the screen, and if a control reacts in a certain way, it should be repainted. the problem is, some controls are small, so instead a 'repaint' handler for all the screen, it would be nice to just repaint the part that changed
in other words, instead of
graphics.clear();
repaint_all();
i would like to have something like
graphics.beginfill(ERASE, 1);
erase_component();
redraw_component();
which i believe would be faster. the reason i can not just say 'fill with background colour' is beacuse 1. background color can be arbitrary, (though it would be nice to have a flash-provided constant or a maccro called BACK_COLOR or something), and 2. because in this case in particular, the background may be a picture (bmp, jpeg whatever) in a sprite below. if i paint a solid block, the block will not erase but instead appear as a block over the background picture. is there anything in flash as an 'erase' fill?
2. (not related with question title). how do i a. turn off all default options in right click menu (except the 'about flash', wich can not be turned off if running player as stand alone), and b. add a custom item in right click menu
tnx

hi, i know there is a graphics object for each thing. i am making my own event handler, i have all controls as pictures in the same object (as the system does, i am doing it without delegating to the system or flash) tnx for the contextmenu tip

Content-aware fill with multi-colored background?

I've got a webpage footer to edit and I don't have the .psd file so I'm trying to use content-aware to take out an unwanted part. Problem is, the background isn't one solid color and the area where I'm making the edit has a diffinitive color change...it's an actual line dividing the footer into two sections. So, whenever I do the content aware fill it doesn't keep that line or the colors the way they "should" be.
Is this a situation where having the .psd file is a must?
Thanks for your help!
PS CS5 version 12.1 x32
Mac OS X 10.6.8

I used the lasso tool to select first one colour area. selected the Brush tool so I could Alt click on the background colour, and Alt backspace to fill the selection. Then I inverted the selection (ctrl Shift i). Used the lasso with the ALT key to remove the red area from the selection. Resampled the other background colour, and Alt backspace to fill.
I did wonder if there was more going on in background because the tiny graphic you uploaded has some artefacts and I was not sure if they were supposed to be there, but a simple graphic like that is an easy thing to create from scratch. When I have to include a logo in magazine artwork, and only have a horrible little sample that I couldn't bare to put on the page, I enlarge it to a useful size, and use it to trace a nice, new, clean graphic from scratch.

Please Help with background color problem in loaded .swf

I am stuck!
This is Flash CS4...
I created a flash application which loads in many other little flash applications (.swf files) based on menu selections.
When I change one of the little applications the changes are viewable except when I change the background color.
After the first time I view the application, the background color changes do not carry over to the main app. I run the little ones stand alone and they show the new color, then I run the main app and any other changes I have made are there but not the color change. When I remove the file and the load fails, the old backround color still displays in the container movie clip the .swf was previously loaded into.
I have tried several different options and the only thing that worked was renaming and copying and deleting and making a big mess. There has to be a way to force a refresh of this mysteriously saved color. doesn't there?
Please help!
Thanks!
Vivian

Hi Antonia
I am loading the swf into an instance of a movie clip:
var myLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
myLoader.loadClip("Capitalization.swf", contCapitalization);
it is the background of Capitalization.swf that will not change
this is AS 2 since the app was created before I upgraded
Any ideas?

My paint bucket is filling with a different color than I selected

Please help! All of a sudden my paint bucket is filling with odd colors......tried opening and closing program but it doesn't work. Thanks in advance.....I have Adobe Photoshop CS.

I'd check the blend mode and opacity settings set in the tool options bar with the paint bucket tool selected.
Most likely you want it set to Normal and 100%
Or right click on the Paint Bucket Tool icon in the tool options bar and choose Reset Tool.

ALV Download to Excel Column Colors Problem

Hi Experts,
I've encountered a problem in downloading records from ALV display to excel file.

Do anyone have an idea why?

I have 21 Columns columns. The first 16 columns are filled with yellow colors...

Problems with "no color" in the "Fill and Stroke"

I am having problems with “no color” in the “Fill and Stroke” function of Flash CS4 Pro.
I had been using CS4 for 10 days and everything worked fine. Then I tried experimenting with various color combinations (along with “no color”) for “Fill and Stroke” for a simple button. Suddenly CS4 locked up on me while I was working with the “color panel”. A second color panel appeared in the upper left corner and the program was not responding. All I could do was to end the CS4 task.
After that, whenever I created even a simple rectangle, at first the colors would appear as indicated for “Fill and Stroke”, but when I selected the object to see its properties, either the stroke or the fill color box would have a red slash line, indicating a “no color”, and I couldn’t select the color box to change it using the ink bottle tool, although the other box worked fine.
Rebooting did not help. So I uninstalled CS4 (and didn’t keep the preferences), rebooted, then reinstalled it. The problem was still there. Logging on as another user didn’t help. I tried restoring the Windows system to before I installed CS4 and resinstalling it and that didn’t work. I have a disfunctional CS4 now and I don’t know what to do to fix it. Please help me. Thank you.

Have you updated flash to 10.0.2? Have you played around with a bunch of different selections, objects, and so forth to see if this box is always incorrect? I think there's some particular selection (order of selecting things, and so on), where the color swatches in one location don't work as expected. However, it should not happen all the time and from what I recall it was fairly easy to work around (I can't even figure out what this was - so probably not it, as it seems hard to run into or perhaps now fixed).
Also make sure you have the stroke selected - if you don't have everything selected, either the fill or stroke will show no color and dim depending on the selection.

Water color effect does not work with solid fills?

I have a solid color and apply the water color effect, though it doesn't do anything to the solid fill? I am applying the effect that is under Photoshop filters. Is this only meant to be applied to bitmaps?
Thanks.

It works bvut you relly cannot appreciate it since it has no tonal range it is fr more obvious with an image but if the image is like all one color and one tone it will not make it look like you painted it by hand.
You can definitely see it much as it is inteded to work on an image.
This is a gradient filled rectangle with a feather and drop shadow and the watercolor effect.
Here it is without being rasterized and withthe watercolor effect.
Here it is withopt the watercolor effect and without being rasterize you can see the effect does little in the way of what you might expect it is even less obvious as a solid filled closed path.
But on an image with has a larger tonal range you can see it much better.

Fill shape with 2 solid colors

Hi,
I was wondering if there is an easy way to fill a roundRectangle2D with 2 solid colors. For example that 1/3 is blue and the other 2/3 is green? I've looked in the java graphics2D api but can't find anything. GradientPaint isn't what I'm looking for, so is there any other easy option.
Or is it the hard way and you need to draw several shapes on top of each other?
class EventPanel extends JComponent{
    @Override
    protected void paintComponent(Graphics g){
        super.paintComponent(g);
        Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g.create();
        Double widthRect = (double) this.getWidth();
        Double heightRect = (double) this.getHeight();
        Double arc = widthRect / 20.0;
        Float strokeSize = 1.0f;
        Double offset = strokeSize / 2.0;
        Double adj = offset * 2;
        RoundRectangle2D.Double roundRect = new RoundRectangle2D.Double(offset, offset, widthRect - adj, heightRect - adj, arc, arc);
        RenderingHints rh = new RenderingHints(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING, RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
        g2.setRenderingHints(rh);
        g2.setPaint(new Color(30, 144, 255, 80));
        g2.fill(roundRect);
        g2.setPaint(Color.BLACK);
        g2.setStroke(new BasicStroke(strokeSize));
        g2.draw(roundRect);
        g2.dispose();
    }Similar to this: Example Don't mind the quality. Not good at art.

Problems with spots colors and printing

Hello everyone,
I am currently working on a business card for a client. The design calls for white text with an inner shadow to sit above a bar with a gradient. One of the colors in the gradient is reflex blue. When I export the file to a pdf and try to print it the text box fills with white and the graident bar changes colors and a portion of it becomes solid. I can fix the problem by printing the pdf as an image or removing the reflex blue and substituing it for another dark blue. However there really isn't a close match in cymk to Reflex Blue C. Is there a way I could continue using reflex blue ( incidentally that is one of the company colors) without these short of issues? If it helps I am using Indesign cs5, Acrobat X, Mac OS 10.6.8, using Creo Rip Software and Printing on a Xerox 700 digital press.

I tried putting the text on another layer but it didn't change anything. The only solution that has worked so far is changing the spot color, reflex blue, to a cmyk color. Here is a screen shot of the problem and some of my export options
Hopfully that helps. In a realted issue, is there a way of lowering the transperancy of a graphic that uses spot colors without changing the color? Once again the problem is reflex blue. When I lower the transparacy the color turns purplish. Thanks for the help

Column chart solid color stroke with fillfunction

Hi,
in a column chart I am using the fillfunction,
to customize the color of each column.
Now I need to modify,
for each column also the solid color stroke,
but I can't figure how can I do that.
Some one can help me ?
Thanks a lot
Jody

Depending on what you are trying to do, you need to either:
create an Array with the colors
[Bindable]
 private var warmColorsArray:Array = new Array(
 new SolidColor(0xFF0033, .5),
 new SolidColor(0xFF0066, .5),
 new SolidColor(0xFF0099, .5)
 [Bindable]
 private var coolColorsArray:Array = new Array(
 new SolidColor(0x3333CC, .5),
 new SolidColor(0x3366CC, .5),
 new SolidColor(0x3399CC, .5)
And then just add that array to the fill parameter
<mx:ColumnSeries
 xField="month"
 yField="profit"
 displayName="Profit"
 fills="{warmColorsArray}">
 </mx:ColumnSeries>
Or, you need use the fillFunction to set each item individually.
Here is the results from an example I did, in order how to do it. And I put a post on my blog explaining what I did.

I need help with a color calibration problem on my PhotoSmart D7360 please.

In a nutshell...The solution that HP gives for correcting a red tint when printing grey colors is to go to the toolbox and hit calibrate colors. I don't have a 'calibrate colors' option in my toolbox.
The problem I'm trying to fix. The PS D7360 has started printing greys with a red tint from my Photoshop CS5. It was working fine and then just started having this problem. I have installed the newest device drivers. Then I have uninstalled & reinstalled the printer and the newest drivers. I clicked on factory settings but it didn't do anything. I've tried both printer managed colors and photoshop managed colors. I'm wasting paper, time, money and getting a headache! I just don't know what else to do. I'm using Windows Vista(x64)

Thank you for asking. I have plenty of ink. I've printed several test pages before and after the image I'm trying to print and the solid colors are fine.
