Finding specific color?

Hello,
I have color entries in my color panel which are all used -- according to InDesign...
But I can't find the text or objects with some of these colors (using the search options).
So, how can I find these objects? Are there additional search options in InDesign? Or a script?
Thanks a lot.
Carlos

The CMYK green is a default color, so it may be hard to find if you actually used it. Most, perhaps all, of the RGB swatches all came in from WORD, so they may be findable by searching for text with that color fill. The bad news is that if the color is applied to the paragraph break, ID doesn't seem to find it using Find/Change. Nor apparently, does Preflight.
You've tried "Select All Unused Swatches" from the panel menu, I suppose? If ID thinks they are actually in use, you can try creating a new swatch in some easy to spot color like flourescent orange, then delete the swatches and replace with the new one. Again, though, you won't spot it if it's applied to a paragraph break. You might also look for these colors in style defintions.
I'd probably replace the two Word blacks (12-12-12 and 0-0-0) with [Black] if you can find them If you can't find them thay probably are either applied to something invisible or non-printing, or are only in a style and won't be a problem. The others will convert to CMYK of that's the destination, without causing any real problem whether used or not.

How to inforce specific color settings in InDesign CS4 js

Hi, I need to set specific color settings when creating a pdf from InDesign in Java script (not as a preset). What I found in previous discutions is:
#target InDesign
app.ColorSettings.cmsSettings="MyColorSettings";
( in the Forum
http://forums.adobe.com/message/1108248#1108248),
which just somewhat make sence to me.
I saved my MyColorSettings.csf file in color settings folder, but I am not sure how to tell the script to access it, and I am not sure that that's the only
reason why the lines abouve don't work.
Thank you for your help.
Yulia

Yulia, everything wrong in your script: first of all, setting cmsSettings and cmsSettingsPath at the same time makes no sense — this is the same as choosing a setting in Color Settings dialog and then clicking the Load button and selecting another setting — the second cancels the first. So, you need to set only cmsSettingsPath property. If you take a look at this property in OMV, you'll see that it requires File not String, as you are trying to set.
I would use the following code:
var myPath = "/Volumes/SPACE/Prepress/Export settings/InDesign CS4/ShowPDFoptions_CS4.jsx";
var myFile = new File (myPath);
if (myFile.exists) {
app.colorSettings.cmsSettingsPath = myFile;
else {
alert("File \""+ myPath + "\" can't be found.");
You don't mention if you use Mac OS or Windows, or both at your work.
On Mac volume name should be prepended with "/Volumes":
/Volumes/Remote/dir/file
On Windows, to access a remote volume, use a uniform naming convention path name of the form
//servername/sharename.
Or, if you have a mapped network drive:
/Z/foldername/foldername/filename
Where Z is a letter corresponding to your drive.
To find out the path to a file, you can also use the following script:
myFilePath = File.openDialog("Locate the file");
$.writeln(decodeURI (myFilePath));
It writes the path of the chosen file to console

Color problem, black 'noise' on specific colors

Dear adobe users,
At the moment I have a problem with a few specific colors within photoshop CS6, on top of my original colors you'll see a black noise effect. Some effect you'll suspect when you've turned on a different color mode. But i'm working with the normal RGB/8 color modes which shouldn't be a problem. If i save this document to a JPEG and open it with Windows Preview, the color problems dissapear. Funny thing is, if I get my color picker and hover on a black spot on my original document, the right color shows up in my color picker and not the black color I see on my screen.
What can cause this problem? Tried google to find the problem, but no luck so far. Driving me crazy as this isnt really working for me. Thanks for the help so far!
Printscreen of my problem:

I'm guessing you have an ATI video card and have updated to Catalyst 13.1 (or gotten the WHQL driver through Windows Update).
Catalyst 13.1 has a problem properly running Photoshop CS6's GPU-based Adobe Color Engine. Basically if the red channel reaches 0, all color will be blacked out.
A workaround that retains most of your GPU functionality but avoids the problem is this: Change the Drawing Mode to Basic in the Advanced Photoshop GPU preferences. Restart Photoshop after making the change.
A possibly more acceptable workaround is to completely uninstall Catalyst 13.1, then seek out Catalyst 12.8, specifically, on Adobe's web site. 12.8 works quite well in Advanced mode.

Report to find specific purchasing org in roles

Dear Experts,
I hope this is not a stupid question, I have searched the forums but cant find a similar post:
I am looking for a report that will help me to identify all of my roles (we only use single roles) that contain a specific purchasing org. I have tried SUIM and dont seem to get anywhere.
Does anyone know if there is a report or table that I can use?
Thanks you
Dawn

> Try table AGR_1251 with field $EKGRP for purchasing group . If you know the authorization object then you can input it while searching.
How is looking for a field for a purchasing group going to help her finding specific values for a purchasing organization? (see post title)
Besides that, why restrict on the object and risk missing stuff?

How do I input a specific color value for a shape?

I've been trying to figure out why I cannot input a specific color that I want for a shape. I'm not just choosing a color that looks nice, I'm trying to match it to a solid color in the next clip. Ive tried to use the eye dropper to get the color from the next clip but I cannot copy anything outside of the color pallete provided. I know the value of the color (from 0-255 it's R:191, G:211, B:217) but all FCPX has is 0 - 1, which is some other kind of color value system I've never seen before. Does anyone know how I can put that specific color value into the shape generator?

Click the color swatch to open the Apple color picker. This is common to all Mac apps.
Click the second tab for color sliders. Change the popup to RGB.

Change bars in chart to a specific color

I need to make a single bar in a chart a specific color. I already figured out that I had to separate that bar from the rest of the chart as an overlay but now I cannot even get it to be the exact color that I need it to be. It seems my only color options are the pre-sets that come with Keynote. That seems absurd so I'm assuming there must be something I am missing.
Can anyone help me out with this please?

OK so it was something obvious. Drag and drop the color. DUH!!

How to Filter for a specific color. Search Rectangles / Circles.

Hello everyone. I wonder if I can help with the following:
* I would like to know the right way to filter a specific color (red or orange, green, blue, etc) in an image, as well as control / VI that I use.
* Also if you have any example of detection / identification of rectangles, circles in an image?
I'm thinking binarized pictures to look into it type circles geometric shapes, squares and rectangles.
Thank you.

Thanks Muks.

For some reason, "HSL" is gone from my develop panel. I used to be able to adjust specific colors (blues, greens etc) for saturation, luminance and so on. But that option is now gone from my develop panel. How do I get it back?

How to define specific color for specific data in WebI?

Hi everybody,
I wonder how I could connect data shown in e.g. a vertical stacked bar chart to a specific color. The assignment of color in a chart is done by Webi automatically after pulling a a variable to a chart. Later on it is possible to change to color via the color palette. But how can I define a specific color for specific values of an attribute? (E.g. calue is Chicago -> color is blue; value is NY -> color is red.. etc ) Is it possible?
Does anybody know the trick?
Thanks in advance!

How do i find specific software count on computers in apple remote Desktop

Hi,
Is there a way to find specific software across a range of computers in Apple Remote Desktop? Like Microsoft Office 2011 Mac.

You can do a File Search for the application name, or all applications by specifying the "kind" as "application". Note that Office 2011 is not an application but a suite of applications, so you'd have to search for the specific application - Word, for instance.

Adobe Acrobat wipes the Finder label color of edited-saved PDF files

Adobe Acrobat X Pro 10.1 wipes the Finder label color of PDF files when edited with Acrobat. For instance, if a PDF file has a particular Finder label color, if then it is open and edited or simply modify in any way (for instance, just marking some text with the yellow fluorescent marker) and saved, Acrobat wipes out the Finder label color of such file.

                                          }What is wrong with it because I tried to find "every Tuesday" in
myfile.txt: "Go fishing every Tuesday and every Wednesday"
There is big problem with split statement because it takes each word not more than a word.
I need to have "every Tuesday" not "Tuesday". How to make it correct codes?

I am going to give you a picture of how the output will look.
Here are two sentences from myfile.txt:
Go fishing every Tuesday and every Wednesday
Meet with research students on Thursday
I need to read from myfile.txt and to find specific words in each sentences like this output:
Every Tuesday : Go fishing
Every Wednesday : Go fishing
Thursday : Meet with research students
Ok. make sense? Now I am trying to figure out how to find specific words in each sentence from myfile.txt.
That is why I have difficult with the splits statement and loops. Like this:
     public static String findTheIndex(String sentence){
          String result = "";
          String[] s = sentence.split("\\s");
          for (String s1: s){
               for (String s2: days){
                    if (s1.equalsIgnoreCase(s2)) {
                         if(s2.matches("every Tuesday")){
                         }else if(s2.matches("every Wednesday")){
                         }else if(s2.matches("Thursday")){
                         }else{
                              System.out.println("That sentence is not working");
          return result;
}So look at the "Thursday" it is working the output because I have split statement to give me only one word not more than
a word in sentence. So there is big problem with more than a word in sentence like this "every Tuesday" and it won't work at all because of split. Could you please help me how to do that? I appreciated for that help. Thanks.

How to assign specific colors to itemcolumn in pie chart?

I'm trying to figure out the CF pie chart specific color
assignment to specific distinct values, i.e. a specific color is
assigned to a specific status value so we have consistency across
diff charts; say value PASSED is always GREEN. Help? any idea?
thanks

Ashka, thanks for reply, unfortunately it didn't help. I do not have "shadow" option ticked anywhere. If I do tick the shadow, an additional shadow also appears, so this shadow is somehow built into the pie-chart by default. No matter what font of color I pick that shadow is there.
Here is a screen-shot:

Action to change specific colors

I'm trying to create an action to change two specific colors in ~300 different logo files (.ai and .eps). I'm coming from Photoshop so I assume there is a way to create a droplet from an Illustrator Action but that's a different topic.
The colors are Pantone 143 and 287 which need to be changed to 143 U and 287 U, respectively.
Here are the steps that I think I need to record for my action:
Unlock all layers
Add new colors to swatch board
Select all layers
Recolor Artwork... (Edit -> Edit Colors -> Recolor Artwork... This step is not recorded?)
Save file
The problem is that the Recolor Artwork step is not recorded. Can anyone explain what I should be doing to create this action properly?

JavaScript is the answer. I found this somewhere A while back. This script changes Pantone 133 to 101. It can be edited to apply to any other Spot colors.
This script requires both the old color and the new color exist in your swatches pallette before you run it.
#target illustrator
var docRef = app.activeDocument;
with (docRef) {
          var replaceColor = swatches.getByName('PANTONE 101 C').color;
          for (var i = 0; i < pathItems.length; i++) {
          with (pathItems[i]) {
                    if (filled == true && fillColor instanceof SpotColor) {
                              if (fillColor.spot.name == 'PANTONE 133 C') fillColor = replaceColor;
                    if (stroked == true && strokeColor instanceof SpotColor) {
                              if (strokeColor.spot.name == 'PANTONE 133 C') strokeColor = replaceColor;
          for (var j = 0; j < stories.length; j++) {
                    with (stories[j]) {
                              for (var k = 0; k < characters.length; k++) {
                                        with (characters[k].characterAttributes) {
                                                  if (fillColor instanceof SpotColor) {
                                                            if (fillColor.spot.name == 'PANTONE 133 C') fillColor = replaceColor;
                                                  if (strokeColor instanceof SpotColor) {
                                                            if (strokeColor.spot.name == 'PANTONE 133 C') strokeColor = replaceColor;
More answers can be found here, such as how to make it unlock everything.
