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!

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.

  • How can I print in black and white only directly from apps on hp screen?

    My printer preference from my pc is set to print in black and white from my computer. How do I set the same black and white settings from the HP Photosmart Plus printer, when printing directly from Apps on Home screen?

    Hello AdrianaSFleury,
    At this time there is not an option or a default to set black and white only from the front panel of the printer. Some applications may give you settings in the Application itself for color or black and white but that would be the only place to change the color of the document/photo for your print jobs.

  • HP 8500 All-in-one printer - how can I print in black and white only (to save color ink)?

    I want to be able to select the option of printing in black and white only to save color ink.  How can I do that?

    What operating system? You can generally find an option for "Print in grayscale" and "Black ink only" in the Color or Advanced tab of the Printer Settings.
    Some color ink will still be used to keep the printheads from clogging, see here for information.  (The Officejet 8500 is an IIC printer in the vocabulary of that page.)

  • How can I create a black and white image similar to what I see in the "Replace Color" tool?

    Hi all, I'm just wondering how I can create a black and white image similar to what I see in the preview window of the "Replace Color" tool. See attached screenshot for clarification -- I need the grass to be black while the soil is white or vice versa. Any tips?

    One way is to use Select>Color Range
    Make a new Color Fill Layer>White
    (Layer>New Fill Layer>Solid Color)
    Put a new color fill layer below>black
    Just invert the layer mask on the top fill layer for the opposite effect.

  • How can I print in black and white?

    I have asked friends how to print in black and white and they show me how to do it on their computers. They do it by just switching the colorysync profile to black and white or greyscale but when I go to print and go to the same drop down menu for colorsync profiles, there are no other profiles.

    First, as print dialog box functions vary with the Mac OS version, we need to know what version of the Mac OS you have. "iOS 5.0.1" in your profile is not a computer OS but rather for iDevices. Do "About this Mac" from the Apple menu to see what version you really have. It should be 10.something
    Second: control of the type of printing is int eh hands of the printer software, Please post the both the make and model of printer you are using.

    Please clarify your "Elements 12". Is that as in Photoshop Elements 12 (photo editor) or Premiere Elements 12 (video editor). And, on what computer operating system is the program running?
    Your question is pointing to Photoshop Elements 12 and that you have posted in the wrong forum. If this is a Photoshop Elements 12 question as I believe it is, please post your thread in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum using the following link provided for your convenience
    https://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop_elements
    The alternative is to wait for a moderator to see your thread here and move it from here to the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum..
    We will be watching for a confirmation on what program you are using.

    Hi JasperNM,
    You may access a card within the cart reader by mapping a network drive to access it, then you may transfer the fies to your Mac.
    First locate the printer IP address as following:
    Follow these steps to print a Wireless Network Test Report, the IP address will be listed within that report:
    On the control panel, press the Setup button ( ).
    Press the Right Arrow button ( ) to scroll to Network Setup , and then press the OK button.
    Press the OK button to select Print Network Settings .
    Press the Right Arrow button ( ) to scroll to Wireless Test Report , and then press the OK button. The Wireless Network Test Report prints.
    Now map a network driver by following the steps below:
    Click the Finder icon on your Mac.
    Click the Go menu.
    Click on Connect to Server.
    In the Server Address field enter “smb://ipaddress of the printer” and click on Connect.
    You will be prompted to enter the password. leave it as is and click on Connect.
    The Memory card will be mounted as a disk in the Finder.

  • Trying to update and my nano screen goes from color to black and white...

    Last time this happened I lost all of the information on my ipod.
    I was trying to get my newly purchased music from itunes to my nano. I couldn't. The help sections told me to update my ipod. I'm currently trying to update with 2006-03-23 and the screen still says "initializing" and actually as I type this the screen that says initializing appears frozen (although I've learned apple stuff is weird because it appears frozen but it's not). How long should this take? Is there something I'm doing wrong? Why does my ipod screen go from color to black and white? Do I need to redo anything? Do I need to reset my nano?
    Please help with the ******** mac user (I've always used Windows and I am lost in the mac world apparently when it comes to ipods)

    Can you get the exact wording for that error? Is it can't mount iPod?
    Also, make sure iTunes is up to date...

    Finally, make sure your iPod's battery is charged up.

  • How do I get a black and white photo in Photoshop Elements 11?

    I have a very old version of Photoshop, release 6 I believe.  In that release, I am able to use enhance/brightness and contrast, and when I slide the contrast to 100%, I get a pure black and white image of my photo.  I Photoshop 11, which I just purchased today, I am unable to get a pure black and white image, only grayscale.  I cut pictures out of wood, and it's fundamentally necessary that I can contrast pictures into pure black and white.  How do I do that in Photoshop 11?  The first screenshot is what I need in Photoshop 11, the second screen shot is the limitation I'm seeing in Photoshop 11.  How do I get a black and white photo??

    (I edited this reply because I originally couldn't see the screen shots.)
    There was a change made a few versions ago where Brightness and Contrast were improved so that they did not clip values so quickly. This was intended to improve how Brightness and Contrast worked for photographs, but it makes it work less well for purposes such as channel manipulations or printmaking.
    In Photoshop there is a Legacy check box in Brightness/Contrast to make it work the "old" way when that is desired. It looks like that check box isn't in Photoshop Elements, which is what you're actually using. I'm not sure if there is a way to get the Legacy behavior in Elements, so you'll want to ask over in the Photoshop Elements forum.
