How do I change the color of the solid-color image I placed onto an Illustrator document?

I want to change it to either a color or transparent. I am placing detailed symbols (like this).
Please help me!

It is a crappy PNG with a lot of noise which will also pick up color if it is not eliminated.
You can eliminate the noise in PS by adjusting the curve...moving the bottom left end point to the right along the bottom, and moving the upper right curve point to the left along the top. Be zoomed in close enough to see the speckles go away and not unduly affect the parts which should remain solid.
The you can recolor it in PS any number of ways, an adjustment layer, making it grayscale and tinting it in AI, etc.
It can also be traced fairly well. Then as vector it can be cleaned up if desired, recolored easily and rescaled at will.

    how can i change the default application that Lion uses to open a document?

    Right-click on the document, select Get Info... In the lower half of the tall window that opens is a section labeled Open With (you may need to click on the disclosure triangle to see detail). Select from the pop-up list which app should open this document. If you want that to become the default condition, click on the Change All... button.

  • How can I change the default cover image in iTunes?

    Good evening everyone!
    I've scoured the web for this info but can't seem to find it. Is there a way to change the default cover image in iTunes to one of my choosing? You know the one I'm talking about right? The transparent CD cover with the musical note in the middle of it... the one that shows up when iTunes can' find appropriate cover art for your music. I have another image I'd like to use instead, as I've never liked the default image at all. The one I have to replace it is an image of a blank CD case. Kinda cool and would look infinitely better than the default in my opinion.
    Has anyone done this before? If so, can you describe to me how it's done, or point me to somewhere on the web that describes how? Many, many thanks in advance Have a great weekend!!!

    I understand what you mean - I too, would like to see some variability in the 'default'. Besides having a single default, I would step that up to a default that changes with genre and media: ie. I could see using a sax for Jazz; a microphone for a Podcast, etc.
    I don't have the answer to your question yet, but I think I'm going to crack open the iTunes package to see what default images there are embedded in there.

  • How do i change the default hand tool to select tool when a document opens?  also how do i get it to open in a single page view instead of 2 pages side by side

         how do i change the default hand tool to the select tool when i open a document.
    how do i change the view from 2 pages to a single page?

    Try setting the check boxes in Edit>Preferences>General for the following:
    - Make Hand tool select text & images
    - Make Hand tool read articles
    - Make Hand tool use mouse-wheel zooming
    Adjust these as needed but does it make any difference?

  • How do I change the blurred background image on the Select User Screen

    I have changed the desktop image on all of my users, as well as the screen savers.  However, when I logout of one user and the screen where you select another user comes up, there is an image on the background of this particular screen that I cannot figure out how to change.
    This is crucial because I do not want to see my crazy, abusive ex-wife every time I select a different user...even if it is a blurred image.
    This blurred out image does not appear anywhere else on any of the different user accounts as a background/desktop image.
    How do I change this background image?
    Please help.

    This seems to be a bug that goes away w/ 10.10.1
    Yosemite login screen possible bug
    "if I put my Mac in sleep mode, when I wake up it, the password request screen uses the default Yosemite wallpaper in blurred mode instead of the wallpaper I have chosen for my desktop."
    or maybe not:
    "And it still happens after the 10.10.1 update."
    This seems to work.
    "The only way I was able to fix this problem was to go Mission Control and close all extra desktops I was using except Desktop 1 (which you cannot delete if it is the last one). After deleting the extra desktops besides Desktop 1, I went into preferences and set my wallpaper. Once I complete both of these steps I returned to the login screen. The wallpaper I used for Desktop 1 was now my background for the login screen. Hope this helps."

  • How do I change the user linked image

    In the user profile there is a specified "linked" image. In my case it is the image that was created when my user ID was first established. I'd love to change it to a better image because evidently it gets linked with my messages etc.  I'm running Yosemite (OS 10.10.1) on a relatively new iMac

    Niel
    That is precisely what I'd like to do but I cannot figure out how to do it. When I select the "linked" tab a little window with a matrix of squares appears. One (upper left) has the offending image. It can be "edited" but that seems limited to changing the brightness, zoom or something with a slider bar below. I can't delete it or replace it. I can't figure out how to populate the other empty square with images (I'm only guessing that is what they are there for). I tried drag-and-drop and copy paste without any evident action happening. I'm trying to do exactly what you advise, but I'm lost.

  • How do i change the file preview image for mp4 files?  I replaced the image but it doesnt show in my dock, instead it shows the first still of a movie

    http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/39/screenshot04s.jpg/
    pls help. i change the file preview of a movie file, and it shows that i have changed the preview in finder but when i open the folder on my dock, it shows the still of the movie instead.
    the image shows the film the hangover as an example. the movie poster is visible in finder, but reverts to a default movie still from the dock. this only seems to occur for mp4 files.

    its nothing to do with itunes, its movies form the internet. i got the file preview by taking an image off the internet, pressing command c and pasting it on top of the small icon in the get info section

  • How do I change the size of images for a collage?

    I am trying to create a collage in Photoshop CS4.  I have found info on this and know that I need to create the background layer and then drag the images I want onto the background layer, then free transform the images to make them the sizes that I want.  However, when I do this the image becomes distorted.  Is there some way to make the images smaller and still retain the integrity of the image?  As it works now the people in my images are getting stretched out one direction or another.  Any information, or direction to information would be greatly appreciated!!  Thanks!

    I'm not the most experienced yet, so there may be an easier way.  But, first, the images and the background should be the same resolution...which you can check/change by going to Image-->Image Size.  Then after dragging to your background use the free transform from the corner, while holding down the shift key.  This will keep it proportional.

  • How can i change the size of PDF files ?

    how can i change the size of PDF files? when i convert documents in the acrobat browser it seems the files become larger then normal pdf files, this is, i compare with other files that people send to me and i realise that they are smaller than my converted files, even if they have more pages.

    A lot depends on the form of the PDF. Is it graphics, a scan of a text file, pure text, or other? What version of Acrobat are you working with.
    You can do a save as to get a WORD file, but do not expect great results. The ability to get a decent WORD file depends on what the form of PDF you are working from. If it was created from WORD with tags and all, you might get good results. If not, you might get a lot of messed up results.
    Explain what you are starting with and your ultimate goal. Also check the audit of the file (should be under PDF Optimize) to see where the file information is concentrated (text, fonts, graphics, other).

  • Changing the size of images displayed when a thumbnail is clicked

    In an Aperture gallery, how do I change the size an image is displayed when a thumbnail is clicked. There are sliders for changing the size of the thumbnail; I can't find an adjustment anywhere for the size an image is displayed when the curved arrow in the upper left hand corner is clicked.
    Help!
    --Kenoli

    Hi Kenoli,
    In an Aperture gallery, how do I change the size an image is displayed when a thumbnail is clicked.
    Do you mean "double-clicked"? In "Browser" mode, when I click on a photo, nothing changes. However, when I double-click on a photo, it switches to "Viewer" mode.
    However, I'm missing the curved arrow that you mention. I can't find any photos with a curved arrow over them in any mode. In fact, the only overlays are the badges in the lower right.
    Can you be a little more specific about exactly what mode you are in?
