How do you get an exact color match?

I can paint the bumper of this car but I get a flat color instead of the shine that normally comes with a car, how do you do this?

I would use the Paintbucket Tool.
Here is a step through:
Auto on Background Layer.
Create Selection (about what you have shown for that area, but I'd make it just a bit larger), and Save Selection.
Take Color Sample from a similar area.
Save to Swatches Panel, in case you need it again.
Create New Layer, above Background Layer.
Load Selection.
Use Paint Bucket.
Save Selection as Layer 1 Layer Mask for later.
Change Blending Mode in Layer 1 to Color.
Make the Layer 1 Layer Mask Channel active in Channels Palette.
The colors will now switch to black and white, so you can paint in, or out that Layer Mask, and can use the Blur Tool, or a Filter, like Gaussian Blur to soften the edges.
If necessary, you can add a Levels Adjustment Layer to Layer 1, and alter things a bit.
Hope that helps, and that I have not forgotten a step. In the US, on Memorial Day, I have declared Wine-thirty early...
Good luck,
Hunt

  • How do you get java regex to match two different pattern

    Hi,
    I am having trouble getting getting java regex to match two pattern: "unknown host" or "100%".
    Here is a snippet of my code:
    try{
    Process child = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(" perl c:\\ping.pl");
    BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader( new InputStreamReader( child.getInputStream() ));
    String patternStr = "(unknown host | 100 %)";
    Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(patternStr);
    Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(" ");
    String line = null;
    while ( (line = in.readLine()) != null){
    System.out.println(line);
    matcher.reset(line);
    if (matcher.find())
    // line matches throws pattern
    System.out.println("match string");
    else
    System.out.println("no matches");
    I thought the "|" means OR but somehow it is not working.
    kirk123

    Hi,
    with String patternStr = "(unknown host | 100 %)"; you are looking
    for the strings "unknown host " OR " 100 %", with the spaces after host and before 100.
    Try "(unknown host|100 %)"
    hope, this will help you

  • How do I get my printer to match the colours of the image as I see it on screen?

    How do I get my printer to match the colours of the image as I see it on screen? My HP Office Jet Pro L7680 printer tends to print my images with a bias towards red compared to the image I am seeing on screen with Lightroom 5 using a Mac with Retina 5 screen. Would appreciate any expertise on how to calibrate the printer to the screen

    You have two options. The first method costs nothing but is not as accurate and the second means buying hardware and investing some time. The fastest way to get things closer is to download the color profile from the printer manufactures site for the printer and paper combination you are using. Install it on you Mac and relaunch LR. This is best when the paper and printer are both from the same company; in your case, HP. If the paper is not made by HP, you can often find profiles for your paper/printer by going to the paper maker's web site and doing a search for the appropriate profile.
    The other alternative is to purchase a piece of hardware such as the ColorMonki which can be used to not only profile your monitor for color balance but also you printer/paper as well as your camera. When all of your devices agree on what color 118,118,118 means, you get the same color from capture to print but this is also an expensive option and there is a lot of time involved in building your own color profiles. The results however, are much more accurate.
    Once you have a color profile installed, the next step involves doing soft proofing. Once you have your image looking the way you want it to in LR, open it in the soft proof option. This will show you how your print will look using the color profile for the paper/printer you are using. During the process, you will be shown the print on your screen which may look off. Use the small triangle in the upper-right corner of the histogram to turn on the out-of-gamut warning. This will highlight any parts of your image which contain colors your printer can't handle. Use the rendering intent options to decide how you want these colors handled (relative or perceptual). Check them both and use the one you like best. You can also make additional changes at this point if required before you generate the JPG image. Make sure to save it as a max quality JPG using the sRGP profile. Once saved, you can send this image to your printer or even to a lab as the process is the same.The attached link should get you to a video showing how to use the ColorMunki hardware/software but, more importantly, shows you how to prepare an image for printing (in this case, for a lab) using soft proofing with the color profile created (or downloaded).--Great Color from Your Lab Prints – Every Time! on Vimeo

  • TS3212 how do you get your itunes back if you uninstall in on your computer

    how do you get your itunes back if you uninstall in on your computer

    Does the book show in the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the iBooks for downloading, and the amount that's come off your card is the book's price, it's not a temporary store holding charge (which should disappear within a few days or so) ?
    If it doesn't show in Purchased then you could check to see if it shows in your Purchaes history so that you can use the 'report a problem' link from it : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
    If doesn't show there or the 'report a problem' link doesn't work (it's been taking some people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.
    For the card being declined, if it's a debit card then I don't think that they are still accepted as a valid payment method - they are not listed on this page and there have been a number of posts recently about them being declined
    If it's a credit card then is it registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, it was issued by a bank in your country and you are currently in that country ? If it is then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes support as above and see if they know why it's being declined.

  • How can you get 2 videos to play simutenously together?

    How can you get 2 videos to play simutenously together so both are playing side by side on screen at the same time? 

    Welcome to the forum.
    As Steve observes, what you are talking about is called "PiP," or Picture in Picture.
    He has given you the basics of creating a "split-screen" PiP, and that should be exactly what you wish to do.
    For more detail, plus more ways to do PiP, I strongly recommend his book, Cool Tricks & Hot Tips for Adobe Premiere Elements 11, from Muvipix. He has an entire chapter (Chapter 10) on PiP, and many of its uses, with detailed instructions on the settings to accomplish it. Just that one chapter is worth the price of the book.
    Good luck, and happy editing,

  • How do you get into the BIOS on a Satellite 320 CDS.

    Hi my name is steve I was wondering how do you get into the BIOS on a satellite 320 CDS. As this is my first format on a lap top. Done plenty on desktop computers just never laptops. As some fool tried to do it before me and distroyed it. Now the only thing that happens is after the toshiba logo disappears this message comes up, INVALID SYSTEM DISK, REPLACE THE DISK AND THEN PRESS ANY KEY. It use to run Windows 98 and it worked great for how old it is. Was hoping to put XP on it but its only got a small hard drive (4099mb). So will have to put 98 back on it till I get a bigger hard drive.Only need it to teach my daughter how to respect a laptop. I mainly want to get into the BIOS for format. Any instruction on how to get into the BIOS would be great, as I'm good from there. Thank you in advance for your help.

    Hi,
    I don't know the exact method for the Satellite 320 CDS.
    But most of the Toshiba notebooks use one of the following methods.
    If you see a message while booting "Press F2 to enter setup", do it and you get into BIOS.
    Or you have to press ESC while booting, then press F1 when prompted to and you are in the BIOS.
    Bye

  • How do you get your options in your workflow incamera raw 6.0 to  stay so you don't have to change them everytime?

    How do you get your options in your workflow in camera raw 6.0 to  stay so you don't have to change them everytime?

    No one, absolutely no one should be using Adobe Camera Raw 6.0.  You should be on Camera Raw 6.7.
    Don't rely on the Adobe auto updater to tell you there are no available updates and assume "everything is up to date". That auto updater was totally unreliable until CS6.
    The workflow options are absolutely sticky.  You should not have to change them at all unless you want to.
    If they're not after you update ACR to 6.7, you'd need to troubleshoot your system.
    BOILERPLATE TEXT:
    If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand, such as your platform (Mac or Win), exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop and of Bridge, machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, video card specs, what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far, what error message(s) you receive, if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them, etc., someone may be able to help you.

    Asking me to be verbore is a dangerous thing  :-)
    When you eneter information into iTunes Producer for uploading, the info must match what is in the internal metadata. In this case, the book is called Mississippi, but in  iTunes Producer it is spelled Misssissippi. There is an extra "s". This will cause an error.

  • How do you get DHCP to work through a controller?

    I thought I asked this question in the past...
    If you add a controller to an external network in a soho environment, how do you get the controller to pass DHCP requests through it.  In order to get it to work, I have to set up a DHCP scope in the controller, which is not what I want to do.  I want to use the existing DHCP service.  The controller doesn't seem to want to send the requests through.           

    "Also of you use ISE with the dhcp probe for finger printing, you need to disable it .."
    I'm dealing with this exact issue now. You can't simply put ISE in as a secondary DHCP server for the WLAN because it doesn't unicast to BOTH primary and secondary server addresses.
    So you're left disabling dhcp proxy and using helper addresses on VLAN SVI's, which is fine if you want *ALL* of your WLANs to use an external DHCP server. In this case we'd like the Guest users to get DHCP addresses from the WLC (they get tunneled to a mobility anchor in a DMZ where there is no DHCP server) and the regular users to use the SVI helper addresses so that the DHCP packets can also be sent to ISE for proper profiling.
    I guess we're kind of stuck with it and may have to get the customer to stand up a DHCP server in their DMZ, I see no other way around it at this point.

  • How can i get the exact Range of  codePoints of every UnicodeScript(Block)?

    this problem has puzzled me for a long time.
    how can i get the exact Range of codePoints of every UnicodeScript(Latin,Han,.....) or UnicodeBlock(Basic_Latin, Latin-1 Supplement, Linear B,......)?
    so that i can do some iterations to display the Unicode Mapping (like the Windows Unicode Mapping tool in Start\all Programs\Accesories\System tools\Unicode Mapping.)

    does anyone know?
    thanks in advance

    Core Java APIs don't have the ability to give your a code point range for a specific UnicodeBlock. You can, however, iterate through code points to generate the range...not particularly efficient. However, you'd only have to do this once. Alternatively, you can parse the Unicode file that defines the blocks. I can also imagine a very simple class that you could provide yourself. I think that providing the range seems like a reasonable enhancement to the core apis...you might consider submitting an Request for Enhancement (RFE).

  • How do you get Premiere Pro CS4 frames into Photoshop

    Hi I am trying to modify a series of Premiere Pro Frames by coloring a small section of them in Photoshop 7. How do I pull those frames out of my timeline, get them into Photoshop, and then back into my timeline? I remember doing it with Premiere 6.5, but I can't figure out how to do it with CS4.

    Thanks guys, I'll take it from there.

    I don't know which old version you're referring to but iPhoto 6's,  7's and 8's retouch tool works exactly the same as iPhoto 9's. The color of the enhance tool's area while applying is a light brown color but the retouch works on any color using the surrounding colors as a basis.

  • How do I get the content to match when exporting pages document to word?

    How do I get the content to match when I export a pages document to word format?

    You simply cannot get an absolutely identical export, in any app to any app. Exporting from one app to another means converting/parsing code, therefore the result cannot be identical. In order to have control over your final result, use PDF export. If you need a closer compatibility with Word, use OpenOffice or LibreOffice. I would not bet that Word for Mac would presserve identical page setting if file is created in windows, or vice-versa.
