How can I match a color on photoshop to a real car paint color so when printed they will be the same color?

I want my text to be the same color as a particular car. Is there a way to use the cars paint code for this?

Depends on where the colour comes from.  The range that printers use are from the Pantone chart, and you can convert those colours to CMYK or RGB values.  Without that sort of reference, I'm not sure it can be done.  If you have a fully calibrated system, then you could scan the maker's chart and sample it, but I don't know how accurate that would be.
Pantone colors. Convert Pantone colors to RAL, CMYK, RGB, Hex, HSL, HSB, JSON
How did you hope to use the information? The vehicle below is painted with just one colour, but you'd be hard pressed to get an RGB value because it looks so different depending on the angle.

  • How can I save a page complete so that I can take our a print later on with its complete texts and pictures.I want that the copy of the page when printed should be exactly the same with all the details.

    When save a web page and try to take out print the pictures in the web page are not coming in the print.I want to know how to save the webpage so that when I take its print it comes out in its entirety without loosing any details of the original webpage.

    If you drop down the "Save as Type" list in the Save page dialog, you have the choices of HTML only (images not saved to your computer) and HTML complete (images are saved to your computer). Neither of these is perfect.
    If you really need a record of what you see today, I suggest printing the page to PDF. There are a number of free print-to-PDF products, as well as paid ones. This isn't perfect either, because some sites look different in print than on screen, but it avoids the problem of sites changing or links breaking after your browsing session ends, etc.
    If you have an example of a page that can't be printed as it appears on the screen, you could post a URL. For example, many blogs print in an "unstyled" format.

  • How can I discover a color saturation in an image?

    My name is Eduardo, from São Paulo/Brazil. I'd like know how can I discover a color saturation in an image? For example, I open an image in photoshop CS6 and I'd like to know what a color is more saturated for after to do a treatment with color balance. I tried to use a Color Sample Tool in Photoshop, tried to find some articles and techiques on Google, but without success.
    Somebody help me?

    Hi Eduardo,
    Try looking at the Color window.  You can find this by going to Window -> Color.  In the Color window, you can use the eyedropper to select a color and see the color information displayed.  See the screenshot. 
    Hope this helps!

  • How do i match a color exactly from an .eps file?

    How do I match a color in pages exactly from a jpg or eps file?

    The Color Selector has an eyedropper tool, the magnifying glass next to the color field at the top. Click on it and anywhere on screen to pick up a color.
    Why not just open the eps in Pages, which will convert it to a .pdf?
    .eps/ai/pdf files may have spot colors and they can't be matched exactly in Pages but will print through from the .pdf file as a separate plate.
    jpegs do not have an "exact color", they are made up of a cluster of different colored pixels.
    Also there will be differences depending on whether the color you are selecting is RGB or CMYK.

  • How can I match pic description and file names?

    I hate bunches of pictures called DCSNXXXX on my HD, as they are imported from my camera. Most of my last two year´s imports have this as file name.
    I was thrilled to see in iPhoto 08 a 'Batch Change' option on the menu, and used it right away to change picture names by groups.
    I was dissapointed to find out though that the actual file name remains the same.
    How can I match name in iPhoto 08 with file name?
    Thanks

    You can't. And that Batch Change command has been there for the last several versions too.
    When you name a Picture in iPhoto you are adding a title to the photo, not changing the Filename. Filenames are irrelevant in iPhoto. The entire point of iPhoto is that you organise your photos without recourse to your files. So, searching in iPhoto is about searching for a Photo, not a file. Hence the title is more important than the filename.
    Are you trying to find the file?
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    For 10.5 users: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
    Other options include:
    1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
    Finally, if you export the file using the File -> Export command, then you can use the Title as a Filename on the exported version.
    If you really want to rename the files, then you will need to do this before you import them to iPhoto. Renaming them once they are in the Library will corrupt your Library.

  • How can I change one color in design on a web site for exemple background : white to light-brown?

    1. how can I change one color in design on a web site for exemple background : white to light-brown?
    2. how can I edit visual bookmark on the beginning page?

    This doesn't sound like a Firefox issue. I think you'd be better off with a site that offers web design tutorials. Try this one: http://www.w3schools.com/
    One thing you should do though and that is to update Firefox via Help | Check For Updates.
    There was a security breach at Comodo which is an SSL certificate provider recently whereby a number of fraudulent certificates were inadvertently issued. These allow a hacker to impersonate any site including online banking and the Firefox version you're running at the moment will not warn you that the site is a fake. The fraudulent certificates were blacklisted in v3.6.17 and beyond.

  • How can I edit text tabs in Photoshop...?

    how can I edit text tabs in Photoshop like in Illustrator that I can choose to view the tab rulers and edit the alignment on the tabs?
    is it possible? otherwise I can't understand why I can use the tabs at all...
    thanks!

    No, tab-formatted text is not editable in the manner you desire. As for your question - tab is just a character like any other. You are simply taking a given kind of implementation for granted, nothing more, but that must not necessarily be the case for all programs. An evil programmer just could assign the tab key to forward delete or any other fancy function just as he could make your space key draw funky symbols from a different Unicode range, if you get my meaning... so simply take it the way it is. If editable formatting is high on your wishlist:

  • How can i change backgroud color of global template in fusion cloud?

    Hi all.
    someone of you could help me?
    How can i change backgroud color of global template in fusion cloud?

    Hi.
    Making CSS changes like this is currently only possible off-line, using the JDeveloper-like Skin Editor. This is described in our blog post here, a demo on our YouTube channel in this video, or the product documentation here. Coming soon is an online 'theme editor' feature which allows this kind of customization online. I would recommend that you raise a request with the Cloud Operations team to verify if they support the addition of custom skin files, otherwise you are limited to the online branding options currently available.
    Kind regards

  • How can I edit a droplet for Photoshop 6?

    How can I edit a droplet for Photoshop 6? The company hired somebody to set up the droplet years ago, and nobody remembers how it was set up. The computer that was used to save the files has crashed, and I need to change the path the droplet uses for saving the files. I tried to open the droplet with Image Ready, but it said it was not an image ready droplet and could not be opened. The computer running Photoshop is using Windows XP.

    It seems that the script on the ps scripts page is to old to work in cs5.
    This is a lnk to xtools 1.8 which has the latest version of the droplet decompiler:
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/ps-scripts/files/xtools/
    Just unzip, find the Apps folder and look for the DropletDecompiler.jsx.
    Then put your droplet on the desktop, Use File>Scripts>Browse in cs5 to navigate to the DropletDecompiler.jsx.
    Here's an example using the Aged Photo.exe droplet from the ps 6 samples folder:
    here's the resulting action opened in cs5:
