How to apply a color to a greyscale linked image?

I have an old file that I've been working on that another designer started. She had these black and white linked images in there with colors applied to them. Currently, you can click on them with the direct selection tool and see the color that is applied in the "fill" box on the toolbar. But when I tried to place that same image into the document myself, there is no option to apply a color. What did she do to make it possible to apply these colors? I'm using Indesign CS6, by the way.
Anyone know?
Thanks!

Hey Daniel & Mikey,
Thanks for your responses, but I'm still stuck with my same problem. I should have explained better - what I really need to do most here is relink the exact same file that the old designer was already using. I've moved files around and now the linked needs to be relinked. When I relink the exact same file that was working fine with the color applied before, I run into the same problem again. I cannot direct-select it and change the color of it. It's just not an option. This also happens if I create a new InDesign file and place that file in and try to do it fresh. She did something to that file to make it take a color, but I can't figure out what it might be!
Maybe some visuals will help me to explain...
This is the problem layer below. Let's call it "background". It's at 100% opacity, layer effect set on multiply in BOTH examples.
Here's how I want it to look. There are a few layers in here to create this effect. When I click on "background" with the selection tool, I do not see a color applied. However, if I click on it with the direct selection tool, you can see that a yellow color has been applied.
Now, when I relink the file (or place it myself), this is the result I get. You can see that "background" has reverted back to its greyscale state. When I try to select it once more with the direct selection tool, all the colors are greyed out and I can't apply a color.
Anyone know the answer to this puzzle?
Thanks!

Why doesn't the "Command Number" keyboard shortcut apply the colored label to the selected image?

Why doesn't the "Command Number" keyboard shortcut apply the colored label to the selected image? The similar keyboard shortcut to assign stars works, but the shortcut to assign a label color doesn't?

Just to be sure they haven;t been reassigned in your Aperture go to Aperture->Commands->Customize then in the search box in the upper right hand corner enter color.
You should see the keyboard shortcuts and the corresponding add label commands.
If they are set then quit Aperture move you preference file to the desktop and restart Aperture. The instructions for moving the preference file can be found at Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics

How to apply one animation to play 30 different images?

I'm brand new to Edge Animate and I'm struggling to find the answer to this.
I have an image that comes on to the screen from the left, then stops, then user clicks a button and the image exits stage right and next image needs to come on from stage left and do the exact same thing; user clicks same button as before, new image exits stage right and next image comes in stage left.
This is repeated 30 times for 30 different images of drinks, so instead of animating every image is there a way to code it so i can get each image to automatically come on next after the user has clicked the button and the current image has exited?
It's probably really straight forward but I just can't figure it out!

Here is how I would do it but this is just me! Smarter people do other things.
do no use the main timeline
make one symbol with an out transition and an in transition of an empty div the size of your image or put the image in.
add labels in and out
if your images are all the same size you can load them in the same div as a background image or change your image to img instead of div a load the images
load your images on a click event and play the symbol's labels
var images = ['cat','dog','mouse','chicken','rabbit'];
i=0;
click event
i++;
sym.getSymbol('SymbolName').play('in');
// as a background image of a div
sym.getSymbol('SymbolName').$('imageContainerName').css({'background-image':'url("images/' +images[i]+'.jpg")';
// as an img (you need to change the div to img by selecting the image and changing div to img (top left of the left panel)
sym.getSymbol('SymbolName').$('imageContainerName').attr('src','images/' + images[i]+'.jpg');
You can also write the click event in composition ready:
sym.$('button').click(function(){
i++;
sym.getSymbol('SymbolName').play('in');
// as a background image of a div
sym.getSymbol('SymbolName').$('imageContainerName').css({'background-image':'url("images/' +images[i]+'.jpg")';
// as an img (you need to change the div to img by selecting the image and changing div to img (top left of the left panel)
sym.getSymbol('SymbolName').$('imageContainerName').attr('src','images/' + images[i]+'.jpg');
You could also do that with a json file to load your images into your symbol:
see rudimentary example i made a long time ago for a history course sample here: https://app.box.com/s/nadfi5pjmida4jplci6i
Hope this makes sense.

How to apply random "random seed" value to multiple images

So, I am in a weird situation, have been surfing the net for the solution for over a day now and can't really find the solution.
What is it?
Its a small school project which I have chosen and cant really find a way to do it.
What I want to achieve?
I have an image and I want to have like 50 variations of it.
What I did?
I loaded up an image, recorded an action which applies the filter called "Wave", the the wave dialog box I selected Minimum and Maximum range for values.
Problem I am having:
I made 50 copies of the same image, and then I applied the action via batch processing to these 50 images. However, it applies the exact same settings/values which I recorded. It doesnt really use the range i.e maximum and minimum values I selected in the wave dialog box. It looks like when I closed hte wave dialog box, the action creates a new value called "Random seed" when recording and perhaps this random seed number tells photoshop what to choose from the min and max range supplied by the user.
So is there any way so that when I run the action, it will pick up a new random value from the supplied min and max range?
Thanks
Marolina

In all probability the Filter can be Scripted and JavaScript can provide (pseudo-)random values, so you may also want to ask over at
http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop/photoshop_scripting?view=discussions
Additionally a Script could handle the creation and naming of the copies.

How to apply style to multiple links?

I'm a newbie here, so maybe this is a simplistic question. I am having trouble applying a color style to multiple links on a webpage at the same time. I have a page setup with a layout similar to the Drudge Report, which posts href links separated by horizontal rule lines. I want to apply a color style to these links, but I'm finding I have to select each link individually in design mode to apply the style. When I select multiple links in design mode, the color doesn't apply to the text. It's time consuming to select each link individually. I can do this easily in Microsoft Visual Web. How can I do it in Dreamweaver?

The best way is to put all related links into a division.
Let's say you want to have red links in your #header and white links in your #footer which has a black background.
CSS, set up two sets of link styles:
#header a {text-decoration:none}
#header a:link {color:red}     /**unvisited**/
#header a:visited {color:gray} /**visited**/
#header a:hover,               /**on mouse over**/
#header a:active,              /**on click**/
#header a:focus                /**on tab key**/
    {text-decoration:underline}
#footer {background: #000;}
#footer a {text-decoration:none}
#footer a:link {color:white}
#footer a:visited {color:yellow}
#footer a:hover,
#footer a:active,
#footer a:focus
    {text-decoration:underline}
HTML:
<div id="header">
<a href="some-link.html">Link in the header</a> |
<a href="some-link.html">Link in the header</a> |
<a href="some-link.html">Link in the header</a> |
</div>
<div id="footer">
<a href="some-link.html">Footer link</a> |
<a href="some-link.html">Footer link</a> |

I can not for the life of my apply any color correction or any other effect to a png logo I dragged into my Premiere Pro project.

Someone please help. I can't figure out how to apply a color correction or really any effect for that matter to a png logo. I could have sworn I've done it before but maybe you just can't.

I can definitely apply a Video Effect to a still image that is a PNG file in Premiere Pro CC (2014.2)
Here is what I tried (that worked):
Set the playhead at the start of your still image (shift+drag playhead) in the timeline, you can now see it in the Program monitor.
With the Selection Tool, double-click the still image clip in your timeline.
Display Effect Controls (Window menu).
In the Effects panel, expand Video Effects > Adjust and drag the Levels effect into the Effect Controls. Make sure you don't have the 'Master' image selected (if it is you'll be making changes wherever the still is used in a sequence),
Now adjust the settings for the fx in the Effect Controls panel, and you should be able to see a change.
Hope this works for you. If not, can you let us know what version of Premiere you are using and what steps you are trying to use?

How do I apply AUTO COLOR to an entire 2-hour .mov video?

How do I apply AUTO COLOR to an entire 2-hour .mov video, please?

Hi,
Image > Auto Color results can be achieved by setting the Auto options of Curves.
1. Open .mov file in Photoshop CS6
2. Click on the Curves icon in the Adjustments panel.
3. Opt/Alt click on [Auto] button.
4. Set Algorithms radio button to "Find Dark & Light Colors", then click [OK].
- (My notes indicate that "Snap Neutral Midtones" should be ON also, but I'm not seeing that to be true.)
Result: The Curves adjustment layer that uses the same algorithms as Auto Color is applied to the entire clip.
The Auto Image adjustments can be accessed via the Curves' Auto options:
Image > Auto Levels = Enhance Per Channel Contrast algorithm
Image > Auto Contrast = Enhance Monochromatic Contrast algorithm
Image > Auto Color = Find Dark & Light Colors + Snap Neutral Midtones ON
Hope that helps!

How do I sample color from a photoshop image and apply it to an Encore menu color sets

I'm about 3 months and many hours of tutorials into Premiere ProCC, Audition CC, and Encore CS6. Apparently the nifty dynamic links from PPro and Audition CS6 no longer work with encore, as encore was not upgraded to CC. So, I want to sample color from an original photoshop image, and create an Encore menu color set, so that my menu bttons, etc. are colored to match the main photo image in the menu. Is there an eyedropper kind of tool in Encore that would let me sample the color from the image, and then apply that to color swatches in the Encore button layers? If there is I can't find it! ~Thanks!

Strangely enough, I started a thread on this issue a few days ago in the Creative Cloud forum. I had to uninstall all my pre-CC adobe software to get the Application Manager in sync with the CC apps, so when I tried to use Encore, there it was gone. So I reinstalled PremPro CS6 just to get Encore back, but when I right clicked a menu in Encore, as asked to Edit in Photoshop, it threw up an error. The consensus was that Encore CS6 would know nothing about Photoshop CC, so after much time searching for a fix, my only option was to either reinstall Photoshop CS6, or do it manually.
I took the latter option using Windows 7 to search for the menu, and open/with Photoshop CC. Stan Jones, who is the Encore equivalent of our Noel, mentioned a brick-bat, but I just saved the edit file and dragged it into Encore, and it worked fine

How to Apply Color to Placed .PNG file in AI_CS2 & keep Transparency?

So unfortunately I'm stuck with CS2, but it sure beats not having it at all.
I'm importing a graphic icon that was saved from Photoshop as a .PNG file with transparency into AI_CS2. (I can open the .PNG and resave it with any options or as a different format as suggested.)
Once I import this image, I'd like to apply particular swatches to it. However, I find I can only apply a swatch after I've run LiveTrace. My problem is that after I've done so, I lose the transparency that is essential to this icon.
Can anyone assist me? I'd be much indebted to you!
FYI, ultimately I plan on saving this as a graphic .EPS to import into InDesign CS2.
Thank you! Please let me know if there are any clarifications I can make.
Peace,
Carrie Anne
CS2, MacOSX 10.4

For ease of discussion, I'm just going to reveal the graphic here. I really think I ought to be able to color something so simple. I've gone back into Pshop & converted this to grayscale (the original was cut from something with color in it).
After placing it in AI, I still can't apply a color, and once I run LiveTrace, if I apply a color, it colors the entire bounding box, not just the inside of the path. Same is true even if I choose MagicWand and select the inside area first. What else do I need to do? Is there a path option I need to choose after running LiveTrace? Thanks!
(FYI, I'm inserting a .gif here b/c the .png file appeared with black in the background, and grey fill in the panther. This should be a black panther with a transparent background, if it doesn't work here, hopefully you get the point.)

Macbook pro system running slow - etrecheck shows issues - any idea how to apply fixes?

Hi I normally consider myself pretty web savvy but I'm totally lost on what to do here. This computer has been running slow since I got it, but the harddrive went sideways recently. I've never worked with a recovered drive - which I apparently have as my terminal lists my workfolder-2 so....I'm guessing I'm pretty screwed. I learned about etrecheck through the forums here but don't understand how to apply it
Would anyone help me understand what I need to do?

Adding some RAM would help. Even though you haven't restarted for 4+ days, this is a little high. The 2 places I’ve seen recommended most to buy reliable RAM are below. I have purchased RAM several times from Other World Computing and have always been very satisfied with the product and service. They have on-line instructions on how to replace the RAM. OWC has also tested RAM above what Apple states is the maximum. I now have 6GB installed on a machine supposedly limited to 4 GB.

How do I manipulate color after changing an image to halftone with bitmap in Photoshop CS5 and CS6?

Hi,
I'm just starting to play with turning into images into halftone image. So far I've learned how to do it 2 ways: 1) using the Pixelate>Halftone filter and 2)Converting the image to grayscale then bitmap>halftone. After either technique, I'm a little lost on how to best changel color - not as whole but to convert different section to different colors - kind of Andy Warhold look. I've tried the history brush. I've dragged it into illustrator (which I tried live trace). But I'm not quite getting the flexibility of just painting different areas different colors. Also, what angles work best to avoid strange grid effects?
Any techniques or inside advice would be greatly approciated! Thanks, Andrea

Why not apply the halftone to a duplicate layer, that way, you still retain the colors, you can then allow some or all of the colors to show through, using blend modes, masks or opacity changes.

How to change the color for HTML words in JEditorPane?

Hi Sir,
In the JTextPane , we could change the word's color by using:
Style style = doc.addStyle("test",null);
StyleConstants.setForeground(style, Color.red);
doc.setCharacterAttributes(10,20,syle,true);
we can change the text into red color,which range is from 10 to 30.
But how to change the color for HTML words in JEditorPane?

Hi,
you can use an AttributeSet to apply the foreground color. Let's say, doc is a HTMLDocument, then SimpleAttributeSet set = new SimpleAttributeSet();
doc.getStyleSheet().addCSSAttribute(set, CSS.Attribute.COLOR, "#0D0D0D"); would apply a color to a given AttributeSet. The AttributeSet with your color then can be applied to a selected range of text in a JEditorPane by /**
   * set the attributes for a given editor. If a range of
   * text is selected, the attributes are applied to the selection.
   * If nothing is selected, the input attributes of the given
   * editor are set thus applying the given attributes to future
   * inputs.
   * @param editor the editor pane to apply the attributes to
   * @param a the set of attributes to apply
public void applyAttributes(JEditorPane editor, AttributeSet a) {
    ((HTMLDocument) editor.getDocument()).getStyleSheet().addCSSAttribute(set, CSS.Attribute.COLOR, "#0D0D0D");
    editor.requestFocus();
    int start = editor.getSelectionStart();
    int end = editor.getSelectionEnd();
    if(end != start) {
      doc.setCharacterAttributes(start, end - start, a, false);
    else {
      MutableAttributeSet inputAttributes =
        ((SHTMLEditorKit) editor.getEditorKit()).getInputAttributes();
      inputAttributes.addAttributes(a);
