"Global" color changing

(Apologies in advance for improper terminology.)
Question: Can I select a color in a photo (call it Color A) and then select another color in the photo (Color B) for Color A to globally replace?
Scenario: I do amateur studio photos with single-colored foamboard for background. Using the Color Adjustment, I can change this background color, but only within a narrow range (e.g., a blue foamboard can be adjusted to aqua or to lavender using Hue or Saturation, etc.).
But I'd like to change the blue to, say a red or a yellow (or whatever) out of the blue range. Can I?
Thanks.

You can change the color using the color adjustment over a wide range; only not with the sliders, but by stepping the values with the arrow keys.
For example: I changed the blue sky to a reddish hue by advancing the hue value clos to 180 with the arrow controls.
For more control you would need to brush this adjustment in, to avoid painting the grass red as well.
These kind of adjustments are easier in Photoshop.

Is it possible to do a GLOBAL color change for both text and graphics in ACrobat XI?

I used to do this using the Pitstop Pro plugin but now Pitstop is almost $900 and this is the only thing that I would use it for, not worth the investment
I can change text color by selecting individual text items, but I want to change all of the red text into white text
I also need to change all of the red graphics into white graphics and I can't figure out how to do that either
I have a trial version of XI on a Mac and will buy it if it can do what I am trying to do, i.e. global color changes to both text and graphics
thanks!!

I have version 6, but it is way out of date, doesn't work on my current system, I downloaded a trial version of the new one, version 12 I think, now I have to decide if I can afford to buy it, it is not cheap!
oops, sorry, I didn't read your entire message, aargh!
I'll check with them if I can upgrade from this early version, thanks for the suggestion!

How do I make a global color change in Flash CS5?

I am a rank Flash newbie, so maybe I'm missing something obvious. In InDesign or Illustrator, if I want to change every red object to blue, I can go into the color list, edit the red color to the blue values, and every instance of red in the document reflects the edit. I don't have to select each red element and pick the new blue for stroke and/or fill. I can't find how to do that in Flash, yet it's hard for me to believe that that capability is lacking. Help please!

i don't think there is such a setting in flash.

Global fill color change

Is there a way to have the color change in a field for all fields on a form on entry and exit without having to code a hundred fields individually.
Example:
On enter: this.fillColor = "164,222,171";
On exit: this.fillColor = "250,250,250";
I want all the fields on the form to do this, but with over 50 fields it seems very time consuming.
Thanks.

I want to choose a different fill color and that shows all fillable fields, not the one you are currently in.
Thanks.

Global color values differ between palettes and when converted (Adobe Illustrator)

I have a swatch file with a bunch of global colors inside. When converting the global color to editable RBG in the Color palette, the values are correct. However, if I use the Eyedropper and sample the color, then double-click the boxes in the Tool Palette or Color Palette, the values are completely different. When the colors don't have the 'global' setting checked this doesn't happen. Does anyone know why?
A lot of people are going to use this swatch file, and likely will use Eyedropper to select like colors, and with some peoples' workflow it's likely these incorrect values will creep in.

Why are you using EPS? It is kind of outdated format these days.
EPS does not support color profiles. The default Save as EPS options in Illustrator include CMYK conversion which changes the values. To avoid this uncheck "Include CMYK Post Script" in the save options. Then when you open the file in Photoshop the RGB values will be the same and if you want it displayed the same, in Photoshop choose Edit > Assign Profile and choose the same profile - Adobe RGB in your case. The color settings in Photoshop will have no effect and can remain unchanged.
If you do that using the same computer the colors will be identical in values and appearance. If you do it on different computers the values will be the same and the color appearance will depend on if both computers have been calibrated to display colors accurately.

Global color question

A few years ago I learned in school the usefullness of global color. I used it today and it was very usefull to quickly change the color of a lot of different objects at the same time.
HOWEVER; I remember they also tought me that it was also possible to change the brightness or shading or something inside one global color.
for example lets say I picked a red as a global color, and I have 10 objects all in that red. Then it should be possible to let 5 of those objects have a lighter version of that red color.
Then afterwards when I change my global color to green, all the objects change to green, and those 5 objects now have a lighter green color.
Am i remembering this correctly, and if so; how do I apply this? Because I cannot figure it out...
Thanks in advance for replying!!

Yes, you would just assign a percentage of the global color using the Color Panel.
1. Select object
2. Assign Global color
3. Drag Color Panel slider to the percentage desired
When the global color is changed any object using the global color (100% or other percentage, or gradient containing the global color) will update automatically.
You can also save a Swatch of global color percentage. The swatch will be tied to the original global color.

Shades of a global color

It's easy to create tints of a global color, and I really like how if the global color is changed, the tints are as well. But why can't you do the same for shades? It would be great timesaver for shading & highlights on artwork that might change color.

Tints simply reduce the percentages of the color's existing component primaries, for both spot and process colors. Assuming subtractive color (CMYK document), creating shades of spot colors--and of process colors not containing K--would require addition of K (or the complementary primary, etc.) In the case of spot colors, the result wouldn't be a spot color any more. In the case of process colors, you would encounter ambiguities similar to those affecting black generation in RGB-to-CMYK conversion: just as there are myriad ways to generate K, there would also be many ways to darken a color.
In other words, creating tints is a simple and unambiguous matter of decreasing existing percentages. Creating shades would not be a simple matter of increasing percentages, and would have to deal with color-specific ambiguities.

ICal Calendar Colors Changing On Their Own; iCloud Connection

AGGRAVATING PROBLEM:
Many in this forum have written recently about a problem ongoing for people with multiple iCal calendars where iCal calendar colors change "automatically" when you haven't selected those colors, or even "change back" before your eyes to some color your DIDN'T select after you select a new one. If you log into iCloud on the Web and try to change the color of certain calendars, they refuse to change. Try as you might, the color you want for your calendar won't "stick" and it is forced to be the wrong color on all your devices. In some cases, even the names of some of the calendars cannot be changed. On other calendars in your list, the colors and names will change fine.
Related symptoms: Calendars you have deleted "come back."   Or, calendars you did not create yourself show up in your calendars list, such as "Calendar" or "Home" or even "Untitled." Note that the problem seems to be most prevalent with calendars with names "Home," "Work," OR either of these words in the NAME of the calendar. For instance, "Bob's Work" might get snagged (it can't be deleted without coming back or its color is stuck and "comes back").
I spent a long time on the phone with a helpful Apple senior advanced specialist on this problem today. We conducted a very large number of "experiments". Our family has two iPads, 2 iPhones, and 2 iMacs, so it was easy to rule things in or out. I will present some information that may help.
SOME OF WHAT APPEARS TO BE GOING ON:
First, Apple has not resolved this. But the problem appears to be related to iCloud, and NOT to individual devices. After de-linking all of my individual devices from iCloud, I could change any of the colors or names at will on any given device, create new calendars and then change their colors to whatever I wish, delete calendars, change names...no problem. However, after re-linking calendars to iCloud, all the problems mentioned above returned. The chances that my iMacs, iPhones, and iPads are all causing the problem independently is very low. They also have slightly different OS versions on them, so it is not likely an a particular device OS, though that could be indirectly related. Also, the colors "change back" within about the same time (usually a few seconds to up to 30 seconds) that it takes to do a "refresh" (i.e. an update) to the iCloud servers. This when iCloud is turned on, and the absence of it when iCloud is turned off (for calendars), strongly suggests that it is the iCloud server and its interaction with your devices that the fundamental cause of the problem.
Apple has said that they are aware of this problem and their engineers are working on a fix. Historically, this can mean just a few days, or it could be a few months, years, or "whenever." They don't give estimates of when it will be fixed. Exactly WHY this is happening is unclear, but my guess is that it is a modification to the iCloud server code that Apple implemented without testing it thoroughly enough to discover this problem. Apple does not admit to that, of course and I don't know if I am correct.
A WORKAROUND SOLUTION THAT WORKED FOR ME:
Please note this is a workaround and not a full fix. Apple needs to run a patch on their iCloud server code. Until then, I did the following which seems to have worked for me for now. Read the whole list before deciding whether to proceed. I don't guarantee it will work in all situations.
Note...I found I was stuck for now with the color of ONE of my calendars. If you are like me, you want to keep that one and work around it....
Backup first... Make sure that your iCloud copy of your calendar data has the calendar event information you want to save - even if the color is wrong. Log in at www.icloud.com and do a refresh to sync to the Cloud. Check over your calendars online to make sure the event data appears to be there for all of your calendars (even if their color or name is not what you want).
Steps:
1.     Go to every device that you have linked to iCloud separately. Go into Settings, iCloud, and then uncheck the "Calendars" option. This delinks your calendars for that device to iCloud. As you do this on each device, when prompted, select "Keep On My" ..iPAD...iPhone...iMac... etc. This will preserve the calendar information on the device so it won't be deleted. I think this is safer, but you can click on "Delete" if you want, too. Note - if one of your devices is an iMac, with OSX Lion and before, you may be forced (I was) to delete the iCloud calendars from the iMac. So again, make sure they are backed up to the Cloud first (or somewhere else).
3.     With the iCloud Calendars Option on all your devices still turned off, go to the WEB and log into iCloud.com. You need to figure our which calendar iCloud won't let you change the color for. You probably already know. On iCloud.com, click on "Calendars," then click open your calendar list and select "EDIT" at the bottom of the dialog box. One at a time, click on the color dots next to each calendar name and try to change the color (you can put any back after the test if you want). You will probably see a certain one that just goes right back to what you don't want. This is the one for which the color is stuck, but you may be able to change the name of it now that your devices are unlinked from iCloud.
4.     Still in iCloud.com, change the names and colors of any of the other calendars you wish to change. Delete any empty calendars that mysteriously appeared without your wanting them. Take note of all the calendars, names, and colors that are on the final list of calendars.
5.     On EVERY device, BEFORE turning iCloud back on on ANY of them: Change the colors and/or names of calendars, delete calendars, etc. so that the calendar names and colors on the device are exactly the same as what you left in iCloud.com in the last step.
6.   One at a time on each device, go back to Settings and then "iCloud" and check again the box for "Calendars." You will be asked whether you want to "MERGE" your data with iCloud. I selected MERGE to ensure I didn't lose anything. Link each device again into iCloud one at a time.
7. When each device is back, go back to iCloud on the Web, or go into iCAL on one of your devices. Set to view ALL calendars. Look for duplicates of some of your events. I found quite several as an artifact of "merging", but in my case it only took me about 5 minutes to go through quickly and delete the duplicates. It deleted the duplicates on all of the devices at once, so I only needed to delete dups on one device. I did not find that I lost any events as long as I kept one valid copy.
Again, no guarantees...hope this works for others. Good luck.

I'm getting the same thing and it's really bugging me! Keeps changing colour to one I do not want and I have tried everything to get it to stay the colour I have chosen!!

Report row color change based on condition

This does color change but for some rows the colors are highlighted wrong and when i mouse over the rows , it changes to wrong color.

Hi,
t1Data and t2Data sound like standard theme css class names.
In my example, the colouring is done by the style attribute on the TD tag. For "normal" rows:
<td #ALIGNMENT# headers="#COLUMN_HEADER#" class="t18data">#COLUMN_VALUE#</td>for highlighted rows:
<td #ALIGNMENT# headers="#COLUMN_HEADER#" class="t18data" style="background-color:red;">#COLUMN_VALUE#</td>Have you defined "t1Data" and "t2Data" in STYLE tags on your page?

Why have colors change in new update? And won't allow me to permanently change back - as they revert on their own?

My iCal calendar colors changed by themself. I have gone to "edit" and "get info" and have changed the colors back. Within minutes, they change back to the wrong color. It has now made these same changes on my iPhone 5 and iPad mini. What's going on? How do I permanently change these colors?

Here are two screen shots to show you what I am seeing. The first screen shot shows it allowing me to select (highlighted in blue) my admin user (which is what I am locced in as). The second screen shot shows it allowing me to select the "Guest" user (highlighted in blue). However when I click on the user "Orion" nothing happens. It will not change to highlight that user.

Colors changing on my calendar

What is Apple doing about supporting its clients with information on fixing the problem of colors changing on iCal?
Is this even on their radar?

This is actually not about the colors changing. The colors change but it's because the appointments are being assigned randomly (it seems) to another calender like, Home, Work, Birthday. If you uncheck the calender it will cause the events to disappear. Check the calender again and the events reappear.
I don't know how the other calenders got turned on and how they linked to only some events. If you click on Calender in the upper right you'll see what is checked. try unchecking and see if your appointments disappear. So for Apple, please correct this issue.

Ical calendar colors changing birthday calendar color

Okay, I've been using iCal for well perhaps ever ever since it started shipping in the OS. I'd like to be able to change the colors codes of calendars on an iPad 2 running the app. So far haven't found a place to do that. Suspecting it might be a mobileme thing. I've even tried that, nope no good. Seems like the iCal app on the iPad pulls colors from somewhere as some match others don't. I looking for a consistent look for all calendars across different devices, i.e. Ipad/iPhone/Laptop desktop version of iCal. Going to repost this same question on the iCal discussion group. Should I get a response I'll repost it here.
Thanks,

Mikael,
I also used to sync to my Palm handheld. I used The Missing Sync. I still had the problem of colors changing. But, they just changed. The colors on my iPod touch calendar don't relate at all to the colors in iCal.
Since it occasionally happened with my Palm, I don't mind having to adjust the calendars. What I don't like is that there is no way, on the iPod, to change the colors. And a few of the frequently-used calendars have ended up with the same color on my touch.

I expect that will come with time.

Outlook 2010 Calendar Category Colors Changing

We have a user who is using Oulook 2010. He assings colors to calendar items he creates. When someone sends him a calendar appointment, he assigns it a color as well. Anywhere from immediately to about 5 minutes, the color changes on its own to a lighter
version of the assigned color. For example, he assigns an appointment to red and it's changed to the lighter red color.
His colors do not change when he creates appointments for himself. The colors do change when someone else sends him a calendar invite, from both inside and outside the organization.

Hi,
I have a few questions for you regarding your issue:
1. Can you reproduce this issue with all of your users or just this one user?
2. Does this happen with all colors (for example does blue change to light blue and so on)?
3. When the color changes does the category change also?
I look forward to your response.

Does anyone know what to do about iCal colors changing.

Does anyone know what to do about iCal colors changing. Ever since ios7 came out I have many problems. I kind of feel like Apple has become Microsoft at twice the price?? Anyway, today all my calendars (iPhone, iPad, iCloud and on my Mac) all changed colors from the customer colors I had set. I have about 5 calendars.
I was able to change them back on my Mac, my iphone and my ipad, but not in iCloud. Once each of the ones I changed updates / syncs it reverts to the incorrect colors again. I have tested back and forth, and it is definetly coming out of the iCloud.com. The web site will not let me chance colors, so once it updates / sync, all my other devices and calendars sync to the purple in iCloud.
I could go on and on about my frustrations with the apparent lack to testing, and the irony around Microsoft and their "bugs". It is more important that I find a cure, as this is really annoying.
Has anyone else seen this today

Don't spend a lot of time trying to change it. It's an iCloud problem that's happened before, and when it happened in August it went back to the correct colors in a few days. Just be careful when you add new items to the calendar to use the right calendar (even if the color is wrong), otherwise you'll have things out of synch when the correct colors come back.
