How can I apply color to black and make it accurate?

Hello,
I have an illustration that is black, white, and shades of gray. I want to apply a color to the black, and have all the grays become tints of that color. I have tried different blending modes and I have tried monotones, but I don't think either of these techniques are working. When I go back to check the color, it's a different color, and it prints looking different than the color I had selected.
Do you know how I can make this happen?

May I suggest:  Layer - New Adjustment Layer - Black & White, then use the Tint facility.
Personally, I often find it more handy (and providing more control) to use a Curves adjustment layer above all the others.  Grab the curves of individual color channels and pull them this way and that to alter the color of what's underneath.  It's not hard to keep whites white, blacks black, and give the stuff in between believable coloration.

  • How can I print with the black and white cartridge only?

    I am trying to print using the black and white cartridge only because magenta is out of ink but I'm getting the following error message in HP Photosmart C7200 series print dialog:
    The printer is out of ink.
    The following ink cartridges are empty: Magenta. Replace these ink cartridges to resume printing.

    I am absolutely disgusted by this; clearly a scam from HP to make more money by selling extra ink cartridges!!  I will make sure to never buy any products from the shoddy rip off merchants at HP ever again!!
    You should be ashamed!!

    Thanks ahead of time for your help,

    Hi Denes,
    I just thought that the example you pointed the OP to, is far more complex than what I understood he needs. The OP was talking about using a button, which I thought was a very basic and simple case. Your example is much more complicated. If memory serves, the radio group item, at the time (prior to 3.1 fieldset) behaved differently, so you needed to create a new value retrieving function, and then was the need to preserve the items show/hide status upon reloading the page. In short, I thought maybe I didn’t see the complexity in the OP post, but it seems that his requirement was indeed a simple one.

  • How can I turn a picture black and white and keep some objects in color?

    I have seen some pictures that are black and white, and a few objects (flowers, dresses, hair bows, etc) were in their original color. I was told you could do it with Photoshop, but I cannot figure out how. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    The easiest way to do this (and there are lots of ways) is to create a hue/saturation adjustment layer above your base image. In the dialogue box, push the saturation slider all the way to the left. This will make what you see monochrome. Now select a brush and click on the layer mask next to the layer you just created. When you paint on the mask in black, you will block the desaturation effect of the layer and reveal the original color on the layer below. Paint in white to reverse this effect.

  • How can I turn an image black and white?

    I want to edit an image I have inserted into a pages document. I can't see a way to easily change the colouring of the photo to black and white. Using the bars seems to make the colouring look a little odd. Any suggestions?

    In Pages v5.2.2, the quickest way to transform a photo to b/w is to select the photo, and on the right panel's Image tab — completely desaturate the image. Tweak the Exposure for tonality adjustments.

  • How can I fix consistent TCP timeout and make data flow simpler?

    Hi!
    I'm acquiring data from a Scanivalve Digital Scanning Array through a TCP/IP connection. I'm having problems with the connection timing out regularly. It will run fine if you take data several times in a row, but if the VI sits for several minutes (while looking at previous data runs or adjusting test setup) the connection will timeout the next time you try to take data. The subVIs (reading the tcp connection, processing the data pakcet, etc) were provided by the manufacturer several years ago. The midlevel VI were written by another engineer, and I adapted them to run with the top level VI that I needed for this test. The data flow in the VIs are convoluted and while I can follow the ones t
    hat I wrote, I'm not sure how to troubleshoot the others.
    I posted a question on an unrelated problem and the responses mentioned that race conditions were going to be a problem b/c of all of the global variables.
    Please be patient with my lack of knowledge in some areas. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks so much!

    I'm not positive about the best solution in this situation, but there is lots of information available regarding error 56 when using TCP/IP communication.

  • How can I disable Pages 5.1 and make 4.0.3 the default again?

    Does anyone know how to disable Pages 5.1 so that it NEVER opens a doc again unless I somehow re-enable it?
    I don't want to delete it in case someone sends me a tainted 5.1 Pages doc. Plus I'm sure if I DO delete it, it will keep showing up like a bad penny when I run the software updater which is nearly equally anoying.
    I have tried doing a "get info" on a pages doc and selecting "open with pages 4.0.3" then clicked on "Change All" to make it the default app. This worked on my initial install of Mavericks but after doing some updates, the system will no longer obey the "change all" and insists on opening new pages files with 5.1. I've even tried changing the name of the app, but OSX is not so easily fooled and still opens the doc with the renamed app.

    Bury it a couple of folders down in Applications or simply archive (zip) it.

  • How can I open an AEP project and make all media OFFLINE?

    Hi There,
    I am working with an AEP file that is on the network that has pretty heavy media files linked to the project. Every time I open the file over the network, AE takes FOREVER to open it. I remember somebody showed me a way to open up a file and making all the media offline. Something like holding ALT when pressing the open button on the Open File dialog. Although, I can't remember if this is right. I'm on a Mac, and I'd like to know if there is a way to do this so I can open up the project without waiting, and simply link the files that I really need to be linked so I can work quicker.
    Anybody have any suggestion? Thank you for your time and help!

    >You can just change the name of the folder where your sources are stored.
    That works well for Windows, but Mac OS is a little trickier. The OS keeps track of folder name changes (even on network directories) and will re-direct requests appropriately. Very cool for users, very bad if you're trying to fool a program like AE. (Had to struggle with this about a month ago to offline some files.)
    The only way I was able to make it work was by changing the name of the folder from a different computer while the main computer was disconnected from that server.

    JQuery is part of the OS and Acrobat/Reader is very isolated from the contact with the OS. If you were to write a plug-in in and add it to your copy of Acrobat/Reader you could then use that plug-in to access the OS shell.

  • How can I color a black and white imported jpeg?

    I am new to Illustrator, and have been watching MANY videos, but just cannot seem to figure out how to color the B&W photo I imported into Illustrator CC. Do I need to do something in Photoshop first? Am I missing a step? I was able to trace the image but from there I am lost. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

    How can I color a black and white imported jpeg?
    In case you don't want to trace it first:
    -> it needs to real Greyscale. Not just desaturated RGB
    -> Do not save it via Save for Web in Photoshop.
