Help with colour blending i think?

Ok, hi guys, this may be a simple answer but how can i do the following, i've tried searching, but i don't actually know the question without a long explanation.
I've got the below image , which is the union jack, however i need the image from the middle to the end to be blue and white with it blended in so it looks like one flag- (red & white, belended into blue & white)
[IMG]http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh22/hyacynth1970/BGT31copy2.jpg[/IMG]
I'll be using cs5, but i prefer to work with this in photoshop 7, as that is where the original image is with the added text, as i presume it will not just transfer over.
I hope this makes sense.
Regard's
Craig

Not sure I'm understanding you fully, but you want something like this?
As you can see, I added a new layer and created a white to blue gradient over part of it, mixed with the flag underneath using Multiply blending.
This will work in any version of Photoshop.

Help With Colouring In Book For Children.

Hello. I am part of a group of volunteers that give up their time in order to support disabled children. The local centre were we volunteer has recently received a donation of computers specially designed for the children. The team and I were thinking of suitable activities that could be done on the computer.
We came up with the idea of having an interactive colouring book were the children are able to choose between various colours and basically customise different characters and items.
We have a trip to Disney Land Paris coming up in February and have decided to try and use this as a theme for some of the activities.
The idea that we have came up with is an interactive Disney Colouring Book.
Now I am no wizard on computer but have been doing my best to create this using flash. (This is because if we create it ourselves we will be able to change it so suit are needs)
So far we’ve been able to get a background etc done for the colouring book with speaking Disney characters but I am having great difficulty making the actually colouring of the Disney characters.
I was wondering if anyone here would be able to help?
I’ve tried using numerous guides but it doesn’t seem to work out for me.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Below is a link to a picture of Mickey Mouse incase anyone needs it.
The goal will be to make a number of the charters in the book but if we are able to obtain one finished one we should be able to use it as an example and create our own.

The idea is to have all the parts of his clothing interactive along with his nose.
Thanks in advance..

Here is a quick and dirty example of how to use floodFill() for your task. I don't have a place to post fla, so follow the instructions:
1. Save this image on your hard drive:
http://flashascript.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/mickey_mouse.png - it is done in a such way that back color is 0x000000 - code relies on this
2. Import image to Flash library
3. In the library - right click on image --> linkage --> check export for Action Script --> give class name mickey_mouse (make sure that Base class is flash.display.BitmapData). CODE RELIES ON CLASS NAME mickey_mouse!!!
4. Paste the following code on timeline --> compile --> start colorizing by clicking on color chip and then on the image. Note that only OTHER THAN BLACK areas of image accept new colors.

     for (var i:int = 0; i < colors.length; i++) {
          chip = makeChip(colors[i]);
          chip.y = (chip.height + 2) * i;
          palette.addChild(chip);
          chip.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, chooseColor);
     addChild(palette);
     palette.x = 10;
     palette.y = 20;
// colorizes OTHER than black areas with chosen color
function onImageClick(e:MouseEvent):void {
     // if selected area is not black - change color
     if (imageBitmapData.getPixel(e.localX, e.localY) > 0) {
          imageBitmapData.floodFill(e.localX, e.localY, currentColor);
function chooseColor(e:MouseEvent):void
     // set current color to clip's color property
     currentColor = MovieClip(e.target).color;
function makeChip(color:uint):MovieClip {
     var mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
     mc.graphics.beginFill(color);
     mc.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 30, 30);
     mc.graphics.endFill();
     // movie clip hold the color
     mc.color = color;
     return mc;
Again, if you choose this approach - you will need to prepare images so that they have one color (in this case black) that is unambiguous and is excluded from color choices.

Help with colour profiles and wide gamut monitor

Hi there,
I know this issue must crop up a lot due to its confusing nature but I would really appreciate it if someone could explain what settings I should be using in Photoshop to get accurate colours. I had a look around and couldn't find any other discussions that answered this exactly.
My set up is a Dell 2408WFP monitor which is wide-gamut. I have calibrated this using a huey Pro calibrator (therefore have an accurate system colour profile). My photos are in Canon sRGB space, set by Digital Photo Professional (obviously easily changed if need be).
What I would like is to be able to preview what my photos will look like on a standard sRGB display. When I open a photo in Photoshop with all the settings on their default it looks extremely washed out, very low contrast and saturation. This is nothing like what the photos look like outside of Photoshop, and also not what the photos look like on other (normal gamut) displays. I have tried using the "proof colours" settings. When I have "proof setup" set to Internet Standard sRGB the colours look dreadful, oranges become blood-red, definitely not what I am getting when I view the image on a standard monitor. If I have it set to Monitor RGB then I get colours that look like my monitor outside of Photoshop -- this is the closest out of the three to the result I am actually getting on standard gamut displays. However I know it is not accurate because I know my monitor is wide gamut and therefore more has more contrast (and this is the case).
So what combination of photo colour space, proof colour space, and proof colours settings should I be using? My main priority is just the Joe Average using his TN panel monitor on facebook, I accept that on my monitor they will look slightly different. Settings for print don't concern me at the moment.
Thanks for the help. To anyone who will suggest that I read up on colour profiles... I have, and I understand them to an extent, but there are so many variables here that I am getting lost (monitor profile, photo profile, photoshop settings, DPP settings, faststone viewer's settings, browser's lack of awareness...)

You have no idea.
What I'm reading is that you want Photoshop, with its color management enabled, to display your sRGB photos as they would be seen on a true sRGB monitor - i.e., accurately.
Something to always keep in mind, when everything's set right and working properly: Your sRGB image displayed on your wide gamut monitor without color management (e.g., by Internet Explorer) will look bolder and brighter (more color-saturated) than the same image displayed in Photoshop with color-management. There is no getting around this, because the sRGB profile is not equivalent to the monitor profile. Do not expect them to look the same.
It's hard, without being there and seeing what you're seeing, to judge whether your sRGB images are undersaturated compared to what's seen on other monitors. I do know, as one with sRGB monitors myself, that images can look quite vibrant and alive in the sRGB color space.
What we can't know is whether your judgment that your color-managed sRGB images are undersaturated is correct in an absolute sense, or whether you're just feeling the difference between seeing them on your monitor in non-color-managed apps and Photoshop.
Photoshop normally does its color management like this: It combines the information from the color profile in your document with the color profile of the monitor, which it retrieves from a standard place in Windows, and creates a transform used to display the colors.
To have it do this you would NOT want the Proof Colors setting enabled. It is the default behavior.
-Noel
P.S., I don't recall whether DPP is color-managed, but you might consider using Photoshop's raw converter, which definitely shows color-managed output, per the settings I described above.
P.P.S., Your calibrator/profiler should have put the monitor profile in the proper place and set all the proper stuff up in Windows. Is it specifically listed as compatible with the version of Windows you're running?

I would welcome some help with colour gradients in CS5 - please.

I am using CS5 and want to draw a curved line (with say line tool ) which has a coloured gradient running top to bottom uniformly within the stroke (or line) size.
Yes it sound simple but..........
I am happy (well I think I am) with Linear gradients and setting alphas etc
I have played with "extended colour" and reflected and repeated.
I have also looked at using the gradient transform tool But I can not find out how to produce a curved line with that magic vertical
Sorry if it may not be clear what I want to do but if you have a look at the pic below
I welcome any suggestions
Thanks for reading.

I don't. I am positive that is how the image you showed originally was done if it was done in Flash. Your attempt doesn't do what I described (not sure what you did), and having contrasting color areas in the image makes the effect come off somewhat differently as well.

Urgent Help with Vintage, Blended Look

Hey everyone. New to the forum, but wanted to get some advice from the experts. I am desperately trying to achieve this exact vintage, blurred look for a photo set I have, and turn it into a preset or action for later use. Essentially, I want to match the vintage layer, blended light, and grain:
Please let me know any advice, preset/action, or tips you may have! I truly appreciate it.

I think that's a case for Photoshop. Sure you could try in Lr with the Adjustment Brush (set Sharpness to a - value and Exposure / Brightness to a + value) but I doubt that you could achieve this look.
And a preset / action??? The effects are very subject-specific. A preset / action would not be able to do it. This is individual manual work.

Need help with Logic Error(I think?)

Hello. The following is a program I am creating to calculate the start value of a gymnastics routine, the basics are as follows(And not everything is implemented yet):
In gymnastics there are the aparatuses, then skill group codes, then "skills" a-g or something like that(My brother is the gymnast, i'm the programmer). Basically as of right now im testing the logic of actually adding up the values based on which option they choose, since the options are strings, i set the strings into an array and then i have a score value array(Values are random at this point).
The problem is, the totalvalue(i think its called that) number is not showing up. There is something wrong in the way i order the things.
This compiles PERFECTLY and runs, and everything is right except the showing up of a number which should show when you choose options in the combo boxes.
Here is the code, help please :)!!!

Need help with colour problem

In one of my pictures there is a dark red color overlay on it, I'm not sure but I think it may be due to a copying error from my camera and I can't seem to restore the original look with Photoshop.
Here's the picture

I consider the damage too extensive to fe fixed easily/efficiently.
The offsetting can be masked pretty clearly but there is too little contrast in green and blue in the lower sections, so one would have to effectively colorize the lower parts manually.

Help with Colour

Okay, I realize that when shooting Raw it does not use the colour space set in camera and I assume that Aperture automatically assigns the Adobe RGB space as when I open with external editor there is a colour profile mismatch (PS working space is sRGB). The image in PS looks 0.5 stops darker and skin tones look redder. I believe the PS version is a more truthful representation of the image colour. How can I make AP look the same as PS? Colour proofing setting etc.
My monitor is calibrated with a Huey Pro.
Thanks in Advance.
Matt

The difference you see will depend on the proofing profile that's selected from the list of available profiles (right below where you turn it on and off). If it's the wide gamut profile, for example, you won't see a difference. If it's your printer profile, you will.
The first thing you'll notice when you use the Eye-One is that the test takes longer and involves more colors. You also have far greater control during setup including display brightness (luminance). I understand the hardware itself is also more advanced. As it all starts with what you see on screen (well, it all starts with the camera lens I suppose), it's really important to have a good calibration. If the calibration is off, so is everything else on down the line.
By dramatic I mean that I was actually able to get closer to the calibrated results of of the Eye-One (calibrated to 2.2 & 6500) using the built in system expert controls and doing it by eye than I was using the Huey Pro. The Huey Pro at 2.2 & 6500 was way off, which explains some issues I've had with art sent to magazines.

Help with Colour Management

Hi I'm a first year Graphic Design student and have agreed to design a logo for a friends business as a freebie in order to get some experience. However I have just 24 hours to get it to him and I am starting to panic about file formats and colour as I have a very limited knowledge about both !
I have designed a simple logo in Illustrator and I am going to use just one or maybe two colours. The logo will be used for print as well as web. I have been advised to use a Pantone Solid Coated Spot colour to make life easy when using litho printing for large runs.
Am I right in assuming that I should do the following:
1. Pick the Panatone Solid Coated colour/s that I want to use whilst in Illustrator
2. Make sure the document is set up as CMYK
3. Save the file as .EPS and place it in Indesign
4. Export and package the document
5. Save a Hi-res Jpeg for use in Print in CMYK
6. Save a Hi-res Jpeg for use on the Web in RGB
7. Save a GIFF/PNG for use on non-white backgrounds on screen
1. Assuming that I want to initialy set the document up as a print job, should the document be set up as CMYK? I read somewhere that when using spot colours you should covert the file to Greyscale? But obviously this turns everything to black and white so doesn't make sense.
2.I am designing in Illustrator. Do I definetly need to import the file into Indesign? And if so, is this so I can Package and Export the document?
3. I have been told that I need to save a PNG or GIFF file for circumstances when it is used on the web and placed on non white backgrounds. I have looked and cant seem to find the option to do this in either Indesign or Illlustrator. Any ideas?
My friend needs the logo by Thus evening so he can email it to the government to go on their websites and be printed in their brochures so I need to make sure that all of the files are saved in the right format etc.
Sorry for so many questions! Any advice much appreciated.

1. For doing logos and such the Logo should be created as Vector in Illustrator. Again, pantone colours should be used after being picked from a book.
If the document is going to be CMYK then you need to convert the spots to CMYK on export, or change the spot colour to CMYK before exporting. If it's the case the logo will be printed full colour you'd be better of getting a colour value from a Pantone Solid to Coated book, which would give the CMYK breakdown for the Pantone colour you need, you can then create a new CMYK using these values and name it according to the name in the book.
I don't know why you'd convert the file to grayscale? You only do this if you want to place the image into indesign and have indesign colour the whole job with a spot colour, but this only works on raster images, not Vector images. So what you read/or understood from what you read is false to a degree.
2. If you're desiging in Illustrator for a logo you're doing it right. Using spot colours and etc. is the right way to go.
You don't need to import the file to InDesign, this is where you'd layout a magazine, business card, or anything that needs laying out. InDesign is the Layout Application, you can do anything from b/cards, to comp slips, to posters, to brochures to booklets to books that are 1000's of pages long.
So no, you don't need to import the Logo to Indesign, you can just supply a .ai file to whomever needs it.
You only need to Package and Export if you're archiving your work, in this case if you imported the logo to InDesign and the choose Package, you'd get a folder with your indesign file and links folder with the placed graphic from Illustrator. Which isn't much use.
Package only really is necessary if you've laid out a piece for printing, like b/cards, comp slips and all the other things I mentioned.
You just need to design the logo in illustrator then save it as .ai with PDF compatibility. The PDF compatibility will embed the fonts used in the logo for printing purposes.

Adding content to a web page [was: Help with basic question (i think)]

Hi there everyone, first time in this forum.
Im creating a website for the first time in dreamweaver after using other programmes and have so far created a banner and nav bar across the left hand side. I am unsure on how i am meant to add any content into the actual centre of my page as there is no box there to write in or add pictures and when i create a image or div or table they all just hug the top of my page and refuse to go next to the navigation bar like i need to it! im sure it is simple but i am finding it so much harder to use than any other programme.
Im trying to do a list of pictures and descriptions for my mums business.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks!
Harry

Harry, I have moved your post from the HTML5 Pack forum to the Dreamweaver General Discussion forum, which is the most appropriate place for this sort of question.
Dreamweaver is a professional web development program that requires at least basic understanding of the underlying web technologies: HTML and CSS. It's not a WYSIWYG program where you can just drag and drop items on a page. To give you a better understand of how Dreamweaver works, it might be a good idea to try the Building Your First Website tutorial here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/first_website_pt1.html.
Since you're new to this forum, I also suggest you take a few moments to read How to get help quickly, and browse through the Dreamweaver FAQ.

Help with DIV tags (i think)

Hello all,
Just started using Dreamweaver and was following a tutorial
about making a layout in Photoshop, slicing it, and then importing
it into Dreamweaver. Then I delete the content portions of the
image and add a box with DIV tags.
Now, the site works just fine when I put only a single line
of text/content for both FF and IE.
However, once I add a second line, the site becomes a mess in
FF.
I have the site hosted with 2 lines of text in my main
content box here:
http://cnorthington.site.io/sitebase.html
Any advice you can offer would be great.
Thanks,
Chris.
P.S. This is what it looks like without content:

Try this tutorial instead. I believe the one you are
following is flawed.

Help with transparency & blend modes?

Well, I'm making a book cover
The idea is that I have a background on top of which i put a label which will contain the name of the book but will "cut out" through the label to show the background.
I've done a sketch in Ideas, here it is
Now, the question is how would I do this in Illustrator, but with a actual object and a font instead of erasing out of a rectangle on an iPhone
Many thanks in advance!

Jonas,
You may:
1) Create the Type (no need to outline) on top of the label,
2) Select both (and nothing more) and in the Tranparency palette flyout tick Make Opacity mask.
If the Type is black have both Clip and Invert Mask unticked (if it is white, tick Invert Mask, hardly relevant here).

Need help with boot up password

Hi I need help with my IBM G41 think pad I when to sleep one night and I put some papers on the keys then close the lid with the papers in between on top of the keys now I get need a password when I started my PC can some some help me with this . Or is there any one whom had this some problem . I see a lock on the screen .

Sorry if this seems like a stupid question, but why don't you have the password already? did the computer just randomly lock you out of it? If that is the case, that would be really strange. If there is no bios password on the computer, you should be able to reset the password in the bios.

Need some help with the colour profile please. Urgent! Thanks

Dear all, I need help with the colour profile of my photoshop CS6.
I've taken a photo with my Canon DSLR. When I opened the raw with ACDSee, the colour looks perfectly ok.
So I go ahead and open in photoshop. I did nothing to the photo. It still looks ok
Then I'm prompt the Embedded Profile Mismatch error. I go ahead and choose Discard the embedded profile option
And the colour started to get messed up.
And the output is a total diasater
Put the above photo side by side with the raw, the red has became crimson!!
So I tried the other option, Use the embedded profile
The whole picture turns yellowish in Photoshop's interface
And the output is just the same as the third option.
Could someone please guide me how to fix this? Thank you.

I'm prompt the Embedded Profile Mismatch error. I go ahead and choose Discard the embedded profile option
always use the embedded profile when opening tagged images in Photoshop - at that point Photoshop will convert the source colors over to your monitor space correctly
if your colors are wrong at that point either your monitor profile is off, or your source colors are not what you think they are - if other apps are displaying correctly you most likely have either a defective monitor profile or source profile issues

for Photoshop to work properly, i recall you want to have "use my settings for this device" checked in Color Management> Device tab
you may want to download the PDI reference image to check your monitor and print workflows
and complete five easy steps to profile enlightenment in Photoshop
with your settings, monitor profile and source profiles sorted out it should be pretty easy to pinpoint the problem...
