How Do I Change The Color Of Part Of A Vector Image In CS6?

I have created a shape using the rectangle tool. I have then selected a section of this using the Marquee Tool (I get the running ants) but how do I change the color of the selection? I have been following a few tutorials where they say press Control-U or select Fill from the Edit menu but it is grayed out.
Any help would be most welcome.
Many Thanks
PS I am using Photoshop CS6 Extended.

Hi,
Here's but one way to change the color of just a specific portion:
1. Make your selection
2. Go to the bottom of the layers panel, click on the Create New Fill or Adjustment layer icon and then click on Solid Color
That puts a new color fill adjustment layer above the shape using a layer mask from your selection.
If you want to change the color, double click on the color fill thumbnail icon in the layers panel.
(in the example below you would double click on the green icon in the layer panel)

  • How can I change the color of all folders from light blue to another color?

    My computer was just upgraded from Tiger to Leopard, and now all the file folder icons are pale blue on the desktop and elsewhere. My desktop is green and those light blue folders do not look good on a green background.
    How can I change the color of the folder icons to another color?

    Hi ys,
    You appear to have taken a wrong turn on the information highway and would up in the backwater known as the AppleWorks forum. This is a place for discussion of issues and techniques connected with the now discontinued Apple productivity application AppleWorks.
    Yours is a System question, concerned with how to accomplish something in the Finder, part of the Mac OS X software you recently upgraded. The question will be better served in the Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard section of discussions. The link will take you to that section, where I'd suggest using the Finder and Dock forum.

  • How can we change the  color of the image for product display for different

    Hi All,
    How can we change the  color of the image for product display for different colors, to be displayed on site.

    Hi priya,
    The requirement that you have stated is not a standard feature in ISA CRM. In order to do the same, you will need to modify the standard ISA code in Java. A common path for the solution would be as follows:
    1. Colours
        a. Maintain a text type for Color under the object - PCAT_ITM in Customizing.
        b. Modify the standard search of ISA to search within your new text type as well. (In standard it only searches in Description.
       c. Maintain all shirts colour data in the new type created in step a.
       d. Your requirement will be done!
    2. Price
      a. Use list prices for your shop and assign the appropriate condition type, acces in your catalog.
      b. Modify the standard search of ISA to search on the list prices as well.
      c. This too will be done!
    3. Accessories - This is very tricky, and will require some exploration. However, here's my opinion,
    a. Search for the standard function module, which will return the accessories when provided the product as an input.
    b. Modify this function module according to your requirement and ensure that it can be accessed remotely.
    c. Modify the JSP as in steps 1b and 2b above to call this new remote-enabled function module.
    d. Now you're done!!
    The ISA modification part is not so simple, you need a really good guy like "Sateesh Chandra" who'll be able to handle your requirements. This is all I could manage, hope it is some help to you!
    Thanks & Regards,
    Nelson.

    Hello,
    Here is the problematic:
    1° How can i change the color of the text on a button in Roll Over or Click state (Cs5.5)
    - I've many button in a doc im creating
    - the color of the buttons is white with black stoke & black text
    - in roll over state i want them to inverse the color coding (the text white & bottom black)
    - currently the text becomes invisible as black on black cant be seen (ive stroked it white but that looks ugly)
    - i would just like to know if there is a function made for this?
    My other questions:
    2° Ive a presentation on which Ive created buttons which tigger pop-up animations
    - i have 5 buttons which trigger animations
    - the viewer can chose to Click on any of the buttons randomly
    - the problem is once the animation is open how can it be close... either:
    a) by it self after "40" seconds
    b) when ther viewer clicks another button
    3° Ive created buttons linking pages..
    - "go to page xxx"
    - when i do a preview and click on the buttons the links dont take me to the right pages
    - is that normal? (maybe in preview its suppose to be like that)
    4° I would like to intergrate YouTube videos in the presentation so they play inside the docment.. when i tried.. it said the 'link isnt a flash video'
    - what should i do?
    5° Once i export it into Swf. how how can i visualize it? or put it online?

    You should setup Object Styles - these can also include Paragarph Styles that can be triggered when the Style is selected.

    - is that normal? (maybe in preview its suppose to be like that)
    Does it work properly when you export it to the finished file?
    4° I would like to intergrate YouTube videos in the presentation so they play inside the docment.. when i tried.. it said the 'link isnt a flash video'- what should i do?
    InDesign won't link directly to youtube videos. I think your best bet would be to use Downloader to download the video and embed them directly in Indesign.
    5° Once i export it into Swf. how how can i visualize it? or put it online? 
    Thank you for your time.
    You can look up how to embed a SWF file into your HTML - but it depends what you mean by "online" there's a dozen ways to get a file "online".

  • In working on a simple home budget,  how can I change the color of a negative number to red,  during the period the number is negative.    Thanks,

    Using Numbers spreadsheet and In working on a simple home budget,  how can I change the color of a number to RED when it  comes up negative.  (only during the time that it's negative)  Thanks,  ( I hope I did this right!!) 

    The Inspector offers choices of format for negative numbers when you choose Number of Currency as the format for a cell. Also offered when the format is set to Automatic, IF the selected cell(s) contain number(s).
    The choices are in the pop-up menu beside the box for number of decimal places.

  • How do I change the color of font in a fillable form in Adobe Reader? How can I check if the writer of the document has given permission to edit color and not just add text?

    How do I change the color of font in a fillable form in Adobe Reader? How can I check if the writer of the document has given permission to edit color and not just add text? Please help! I'm technologically challenged.

    Most forms (99% or more) are created for simple text input, where you cannot change anything.
    The creator of the form could allow Rich Text input (which allows you to change font, text size, color, etc.), but frankly I have never seen such a form, and I wouldn't know how they look.  But I'm sure they would show some kind of controls to alter the text appearance.

  • How can I change the color of birthday calendar?

    The birthday calendar in the new iPhone OS gets it color automatically. How can I change the color? It does not correspond to the color in iCal on my Mac.

    I figured out a solution for changing the other calendars but not the birthday calendar. Although it's not the most direct fix, it worked for me. Apparently Apple didn't think to give us the ability to choose the calendar color. I use Entourage and sync over the air. When I upgraded to iOS 4 my calendar turned bright red and the birthday calendar was blue. I don't use the birthday calendar so it isn't even enabled in my case. What finally worked was to go through the calendar colors one at a time by disabling and re-enabling the calendar in my mail account settings. I would double click the home button to quickly switch between settings and calendar to check the color each time I enabled the calendar. I had to do this 4 or 5 times to cycle through until blue came back up.

  • How do you change the color of events on ICal.

    How do you changed the color of events on ICal? I was able to do this when I utilized ICal on the Snow Leopard system but can no longer do this with Lion.
    I know that I can select the Calanders list, but when I create a new "Calander" it doesn't allow me to choose a color and it doesn't show up in my list when working within an event.
    Thanks!

    Phoebe,
    Right-click on the new calendar and select "Get Info."
    Make sure that the ✓ mark is selected.
    Then choose the color from this pane:

  • How can I change the color of a box in book layout?

    I am try to change the color of a photo box when making a book.
    Will the box print? and if so how can I change the color
    Thank you
    Mark

    The box will print... but there is no way to just assign a color to a box. The closest you can get is ot create a small solid colored image in Photoshop and assign that to the box. You may get a resolution warning but as long as it's a solid color it does not matter how few pixels you have.

    To change the color of the line itself, you can use the attribute Plot>>Plot Color.
    To change the color of the points, you can use the attribute Cursor>>Cursor Color.
    To select the color, you should have a color box constant inside the Numeric>>Additional Numeric Constants palette.
    This is all in LV 7.0. I'm not sure how it similar it is in 5.1.
    One important thing is to place the attribute node inside a case structure which will execute only when your condition has been filled.
    If this didn't help you, I suggest you post the relevant piece of code, or at least an image of it (no BMPs, please).

    What you're describing can't be achieved using the built-in comments summary function of Acrobat, but it can certainly be done if a custom-made script it used to generate the summary because then you're in full control of what's included in it and what's not.
