How can I easily change black line art to a colour?  (Or color?)

I have line art on a transparent layer.  That is, it's not part of a white layer, but just black on nothing.  I want to easily change that to a colour without changing the quality of the line.  I know I can put a screen layer above it with a colour and that makes the black coloured, but it only shows up if I flatten it on to white.  Otherwise, that's exactly the look I want, just not on a flattened white layer.  I need to keep the line on the transparent layer so that I can paint under it, so I can't flatten it on to white.   I also don't want to select the line and fill it as that significantly changes the quality of the line.  I just want to change the colour of the line without chaning it's density, or any pixels.  Any idea how to do this?

I believe your layer with lines has pure black pixels with transparency producing it's gray appearance. An adjustment can't make black blacker than black
A mask is grayscale without transparency. So if you convert the transparency to a mask, you have grayscale pixels in the mask which can be affected by an adjustment. The result will be a change in the appearance of the masked layer.

  • How can I programly change button's blink speed, blink forground/background color?

    How can I programly change button's blink speed, blink forground/background color?
    Besides changing the LabVIEW.ini, is there another method to achieve?

    I was about to post a new one on this old thing but came across this when running the exe file from a vi with a blinking and back/foreground color property. In the vi mode everything worked properly as intended with the properties (different color and transparent other than the manual setting under the options->color), including changing the the color under options menu. But the exe file made the BG/FG color to red and yellow while blinking. I came across this topic a long time ago but never used the blinking indicators in the .exe files. NI or someone else has said this is a bug or the default in .exe running environment, please confirm this so I do not have to play around with this.
    Also attached is the .ini file from the .exe file and how I add a BG/FG color line to get it working like blue when visible and transparent when not?
    Thanks in advance!

  • How can I print in black/white only a document that has colors in the original?

    How can I print in black/white only a document that has colors in its original. I don't need the print out to be in color, and I don't want to waste the color ink.

    It depends on your printer and the application you are using.
    In some applications you can choose color vs. greyscale/black&white when you do File > Print.   PowerPoint is one example of an application that allows this choice.
    Otherwise, you can usually select greyscale at the time you print the document.  Do File > Print. In the resulting dialog box, there should be an item called Copies & Pages (in Word and other applications) or Preview (in Preview).  Click it.  In the resulting list, you should then see an option called Printer Features.  Click it.  Then you should see an option called Printout Mode.  Usually one of the modes is Greyscale or Black & White.  Select it.  Then Print.
    This can also depend on your printer.  Exactly what make/model printer are you using?   And what kind of document are you trying to print (Word, PPT, JPEG, etc)?

  • How can I easily change my apple security questions

    About July of last year, I decided to purchase a $15.00 iTunes card. Since then, I've yet to be able to use it because I've yet to be able to find a way to change my security questions. I would be fine and happy if it weren't for the fact that, no natter what I do when I try to figure out how to change the questions, I get redirected to other pages that have no useful information or links that I can click to actually change my security questions. Mind you, I've been battling with this for nearly a year, and I've been tempted many times to just create a new iTunes account, but I feel that losing my money would be absolutely useless. I also feel that Apple Co. should be obligated to easily help their costumers in matters that aren't that uncommon, but that's a different story for a different time. Anyways, I've basically tried everything.
    So, in turn, does anyone have any way in the world that I can easily change my security questions without having to be redirected to so many different pages that my browser can't support/show them all? All kinds of help are greatly appreciated.

    I see what you mean. I don't think it's so much as the fact that it's "redirecting" me to all of these different pages, but more so the fact that it tells me to click these links, which normally turns out to be a link that I've more than likely clicked prior, and it takes me to a page that Ive already been on. The cycle restarts itself and I eventually get frustrated.

  • How can I permanently change color of junk mail listing to black?

    How can I permanently change color of my junk mail listings? It is light brown and difficult to read.

    I'm trying to do the same...no problem choosing the color, but when I used an advanced rule, I no longer have the option in a drop down menu to "erase junk mail". Seems like any combination of an advanced junk mail rule wipes out the option to erase junk mail, and I don't want mail to automatically delete my junk email. I tried outting a stop evaluating after the text color, but that didn't work.

  • Aperture: How can I batch change one part of a file name

    I have a file name format for my motor sport pictures
    EventNameYear_CarNumber_ImageNumber
    I have just named 600+ images but after publishing the images, I spotted I put the event year as 2014 instead of 2015.
    How can I batch change the year but leave everything else the same? I've been through the batch change options but cannot work it out
    I am on Aperture 3.6, MacBook Pro on Yosemite 10.10.2
    Thanks

    So you renamed the versions in Aperture, the rename was not just done on the export?
    The names could be changed either in Aperture or on the exported files but as was noted it would require a script to do it. Doing the rename on the exported files would be the easiest, Applescript or possibly even Automator or any number of 3rd party apps could handle this rather easily. Name Mangler comes to mind as possibly being able to handle this.

  • How Can I find my other line's contact list?

    Hi,
    How Can I find my other line's contact list? when I click "Messaging" on top menu, it shows all my line's contact list but I cannot change it to other line.
    Thank you

    If you are logged in with your number, then the backup assistant will give you the contacts that are backed up for that number.  Is this what you mean by "messaging list"? 
    If you want to see the backup contact list for the OTHER numbers, then you need to register for a MyVerizon for EACH number (choosing from the drop down is NOT the same!)
    To register the other numbers, you need to log out of your account (and may have to close the browser as well), then go to verizonwireless.com, and click REGISTER. Enter the other number(s) on your account and set up a username and password, and you will then be able to see the backup for THAT number only.
    Secondary lines will see limited information on MyVerizon, and unless you have designated that number as a manager, they will not have all the options you do as the primary number.
    HTH, and post back if you need more assistance.

    I've done some research on the SQLite database. Whenever Aperture hangs up (like during auto-stack or opening the filter hud) there are thousands of SQLite queries happening. These SQLite queries cause massive file I/O because the database is stored on the disk as 1kb pages. However, the OS is caching the database file; mine's only 12MB. I'm trying to track down some performance numbers for SQLite on osx but having trouble.
    It's starting to look like most of the speed problems are in the libraries that Aperture uses instead of the actual Aperture code. Of course, that doesn't completely let the developers off the hook since they choose to use them in the first place.
    Oh, and if anyone is curious, the database is completely open to queries using the command line sqlite3 tool. Here's the language reference http://www.sqlite.org/lang.html
    Hmm, just found this. Looks like someone else has been playing around in the db http://www.majid.info/mylos/stories/2005/12/01/apertureInternals.html

  • (ios5 ipad bugs)I can't get changes of album art, artist, album and other tags to show up in the iPad music player, but they show up correctly in the iTunes device view. Certain random songs do not sync correctly.   Wifi sync hasn't worked yet.

    (ios5 ipad bugs)I can't get changes of album art, artist, album and other tags to show up in the iPad music player, but they show up correctly in the iTunes device view. Certain random songs do not sync correctly.   Wifi sync hasn't worked yet.
    I mostly use technology for education and professional audiovisuals and lights.
    I don't sync  music because I use music from at least 4 different computers. (manually mange music)
    I use my iPad to play performance tracks for church and a local gospel group out of our church, Won4Christ.
    I chose to buy the iPad because the laptop of one of the group members (dellxps running iTunes) was randomly losing and mixing up music and I wanted a more stable option that was bigger than my iPod touch.
    I tried to add some data to music libraries that I previously added to my iPad, but the data only shows up when looking at the device in iTunes.
    Wifi sync has not worked on either my laptop or desktop ( both running windows 7 enterprise 64 and newest iTunes) not really a big issue, but very annoying
    When browsing through library playlist albums on the iPad, random artwork shows up on playlists with no artwork that you touch while dragging, and it does not go away until you change to another navigation tab and back.
    Random songs out of hundreds that I added showed up in iTunes grayed out with a sync circle beside them.  Those songs would play back okay on the iPad but were unplayable through the iTunes device view.  I had to delete the songs manually through the library along with the playlist and add them again. 
    These seem to be major stability bugs in the "new" music app and iTunes.  My only option right now seems to be to delete the songs that I want to change and re-add them with the changes already applied rather than changing the id3 tags and artwork on the existing music. I hope apple will release updates to resolve these issues. 
    Thank you for actually making it to the end of this manuscript of annoyances.

    Just wondered if anyone had any other suggestions.
