How do  I change the color of an object from a primary color to 2ndary (brown or black)

How would I change an object's color from red to black, I change the color from red to blue using the change to color effect, but for some reason I am unable to change it to brown or black or gray or another basic color

Neither brown or black are secondary colors. Well, brown could be considered a rather desaturated orange...
Anyway, that's neither here nor there.
You can use the Hue/Saturation effect. Help page on it here: After Effects Help | Color Correction effects
You simply pick a channel and adjust the channel range to only select the colors you wish.
Here's a tutorial:  http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-photoshop-cc/shifting-colors-with-huesaturation/
Going to (or from) white or black is nearly impossible no matter what effect you're using and is not recommended.

    How do I change the language in Photoshop CC from danish to english? I'm not used to work in my motherlanguage in PS - but when I downloaded the app, it was in danish - I didn't have a choice to choose language. So what do I do?

  • How do I change the printer option to wireless from the present USB connection?

    When I try to print from Firefox, the print job tries to go through a USB connection to the printer. My printer is wireless and goes through a router. How do I change the settings on Firefox to recognize the router?

    I think Firefox just works with the information it gets from Windows and doesn't have any setting for how you connect to your printer.
    In the Print dialog (you can use Ctrl+p to call it up), if you click next to Name, does Firefox display two different printers, one USB and one wireless, that you could choose from?

  • How do you change the music for an export from a selection of pictures?

    I have iTunes and know how to change the music for a slideshow but if I select pictures from a folder and export to QuickTime how do I change the music?
    There is an option to "Add currently selected music to movie" but it always plays the same tune. How do I get an option to select an iTunes song like with the Slideshow? Where are the slideshow sample music files stored? There are 11 files in the sample folder but I can't find any of them on my drive.

    Maybe there is some confusion in what I'm telling you. There are two types of slideshows in iPhoto. One creates a special slideshow album that appears in the Source pane on the left side. This is not the one I'm talking about. (You create one of these slideshow albums when you select some photos and click the Slideshow icon (the one with a Plus sign on it) at the bottom of the iPhoto window.
    The other slideshow is done from the main library window or from a regular album (not a slideshow album). You either select some photos (or a roll) from the Library or select an album (with a folder icon). Then click the Play button which is on the bottom right hand side of the iPhoto window.
    If your Play button is on the left side, then you aren't using the correct one. The one that appears on the left side shows when you've selected a Slideshow Album from the source pane. This type of album has an icon that looks like a couple of slides (the kind you put in a projector).
    Does that make a difference?

  • HT4589 How do I change the audio to dual mono from stereo when using Share to DVD in Final Cut 10.1?

    How do I switch the audio to Dual Mono from Stereo when using Share in Final Cut Pro 10.1? Even though the audio is all in dual mono in the timeline, it lists it as stereo in the share box.

    Hi rationale1,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The share to DVD settings in Final Cut Pro X use the Dolby Digital settings which are stereo for DVDs. So this can’t be done directly in Final Cut Pro X.
    The link below will explain the Dolby Digital parameters and options in Compressor 4.   You may need to research a different DVD authoring software to achieve your desired result.
    Dolby Digital - Compressor 4 User Manual
    http://help.apple.com/compressor/mac/4.1/#cpsrb71736a2
    Dolby Digital
    The built-in Dolby Digital settings (in the Create Blu-ray and Create DVD destinations, as well as the built-in AC-3 and EC-3 audio settings) use the Dolby Digital transcoding format. This format encodes Dolby Digital (AC-3) and Dolby Digital Plus (EC-3) audio files that contain multiple audio channels, including 5.1 surround sound. You can also create custom settings that use the Dolby Digital transcoding format. 
    Note:  All files intended for video and audio DVD authoring must have a 48 kHz sample rate as required by the DVD specification.
    DVD Video: Choose this option if you’re encoding for use in a DVD video authoring application.
    DVD Audio: Choose this option if you’re encoding for use in a DVD audio authoring application.
    Tip:  For stereo encoding, rates of 192 kbps and 224 kbps are typical and will produce good results. For Dolby Digital 5.1 encoding, a rate of 384 kbps is recommended. For 5.1 Dolby Digital Plus encoding, a rate of 192 kbps is recommended.
    Cheers,
    Judy

  • How to I change the hue of a graphic to a specific color

    I have a graphic for external links that I will be using on my web page. It is composed of various shades of blue with one dominant color of blue. I would like to change the hue of that graphic to match the colors of my web page. For example, I want that dominant shade of blue to become #bd0000. While I can use the hue slider to change the color, how do I make that dominant blue be exactly #bd0000?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    There are a couple ways to do this, one with L*A*B* mode, the other with a channel mixer adjustment layer.  Here's what I did with the channel mixer:
    Your target color of #bd0000 has a RGB value of around 189r, 0g, 0b.
    I put a color sample point on your blue and one on pure white.
    I added the channel adjustment layer then adjusted each of the channels so that the blue color shifted to your desired color and so that the white remained white.  This meant taking the blue slider in each of the channels and adjusting your blue to match the red color.  This will make the white go off.  So then I adjusted the color slider of the same color as the channel to clean up the white.  If you have other colors this might get weird and you might have ot select just the blues with a mask.  Here's a screen shot with my settings.

  • How can I change the video but continue audio from the first clip?

    I have a clip of a guy playing the guitar.  I want to cut away and show clips of the audience..... so how do I separate the audio and video so that we still hear him playing as the video clip changes?  I do hope it's easy!!! :-)  Thank you for any help. 

    bnn is right. Also make double sure you have turned on the Advanced Tools under the iMovie Menu > Preferences. Choose the General Tab and click the checkbox beside Show Advanced Tools. This will enable that pop-up menu that includes Cutaways as an option.

  • I need help for Arabic Typing in Pages and PhotoShop and how can I change the Typing Direction to Be from right to left

    Hi there
    Accualy I have 2 problems with Pages
    1- How can I get more Arabic Fonts with More Decorated style
    2- The typing in Arabic should be from right to left and in Pages it's Happining but the typin marker is not doing this so its hard to fix any mistakes in the middel of the paragraph.
           - how to change the alignment from left to right (Ctrl + Shift in MO Word) to do the hall text from right to left not only the paragraph Icon
    I think this will afect the other application Im using If some one help me with it.

    "Many" is an exageration, you can count R to L languages on one hand.
    Mostly they are used in countries which try not to pay for their software, and seem to have a pretty shoddy printing industry, so not much incentive for developers.
    However Arabic is a major language and Apple should fix the problem.
    As Tom suggests try Mellel, which is the best solution on the Mac.
    Adobe has ME versions of both Indesign and Photoshop, for which you pay extra. They mostly work well.
    MsWord for Windows (not the Mac) does reasonably well, but I have not tried its DTP features with Arabic so can't vouch for how solid they are in Word.

  • How do I change the Bridge settings in CS4 from displaying ppi to displaying dpi

    I want to see the dpi, not ppi. Is it possible to change this, and if so, how?

    Maybe the label in the dialog box on the screen says 'dpi.' But the numbers displayed actually are ppi. There's a reason why they changed the label in later Photoshop versions. To stick with CS2
    i for this reason only
    is just plain foolish.
    What you really want
    i is
    ppi anyway, not dpi. And exactly that's what you're getting---in CS2, CS3, and CS4 ... or any image-processing software.

    The idiots are the stock agency managers asking for digital images submitted at 300 dpi. That's just plain impossible. And requiring submissions at 300 ppi does not make any sense either because that's just a meaningless number in the image file's metadata. Whether the ppi number in the metadata is 72, 240, or 300 will make
    i absolutely no difference
    to the actual image. Got it? Absolutely no difference at all.
    Except it will make a clueless stock agency manager happy. So do enter '300' into the ppi metadata field; that sure is a lot easier than to educate a fool. But do not think that the 'DPI' vs 'PPI' labelling in Photoshop's or Bridge's user interface would make any difference. It doesn't.
