There is no easy way to get a good result. There is no magic button!
Unless you just want an overall colour tone, you have to paint each area individually with the appropriate colour.

How do i fix a portrait photograph that has harsh sunlight and shadows in PSE12? [was: Help please =) ]

How do i fix a portrait photograph that has harsh sunlight and shadows in PSE12?

Try this:
Duplicate the background layer, and convert this layer to black/white (ALT+CTRL+B)
Select the young lady's face, and place this on a separate layer (CTRL+J)
Open a Brightness/contrast layer at the top and group the top 2 layers (CTRL+G). Work the brightness and contrast sliders so that the 2 gray scale layers match as much as possible
Keep the face layer, but delete the duplicated grayscale layer below
Change the blending mode of the face layer to luminosity
With the eyedropper tool, sample color from the original skin
Open a blank layer at the top, and change blending mode to color
Paint over the face to match colors. Touch up additional spots as needed, e.g.hand
Add a levels adjustment layer and work the sliders below the histogram to best advantage
Sharpen slightly

Yes.
I also have Office for MAC but rarely use it as it is too cumbersome for me.
Microsoft Office does it also. So does Libre Office, Open Office and just about any full function word processor app.

HSB Color Space Question - How Many Colors Are There In Photoshop

Hello guys, I have a sort of basic question that I have been trying to figure out for a few days.
I am trying to find out how many colors there are in the Color Picker when the Hue radio button is selected.
I know there are 256^3 RGB (#Hex) colors, and I am trying to find some relationship when I am coloring with HSB color space in Photoshop.
It just confuses me because the Hue slider goes from 0-359 and the S and B goes from 0-99...
So how many HSB colors in Photoshop are there? Am I missing out on some colors by using HSB color space in Photoshop as oposed to using RGB?
Are there the exact same amount? Are there more and there are duplicates in HSB space mode?
Thank you all for all your help, much appreciated

The deficiency of such mathematical models is that they do not take into account noise and human perception. In an 24 bit RGB space (8 bits per channel) there may be 16 million colors, but this assumes that there are 256 discrete levels in each color channel. You could increase the number of colors by using a 48 bit space. In practice, noise will reduce the number of discrete levels, and this will vary with the camera and ISO used in that camera. For example, consider the Nikon D5000 as evaluated by DXO. At base ISO the camera can resolve only 21.8 bits of color information and this decreases to 15.6 bits at an effective ISO of 2079 (camera ISO setting of 3200).
http://www.dxomark.com/index.php/eng/Image-Quality-Database/Nikon/D5000
Then you have to consider how many of these colors can actually be differentiated by the human visual system. If you can't see a difference, it really doesn't matter.These differences are difficult to quantitate. One such effort uses MacAdam ellipses shown in this Wikipedia article on a CIE 1931 xy plot. How many of these ellipses are contained in the CIE xy space? The DXO site has similar ellipses for real world camera images.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacAdam_ellipse
See this RIT FAQ for a more sober real world analysis. The actual number of colors is in the millions, but likely not 16 million.
http://www.cis.rit.edu/mcsl/outreach/faq.php?catnum=1#219
In a real world situation, I would not be overly concerned about differences between the RGB and HSB spaces, but one could increase precision by using a 48 bit space.

24" iMac - How many colors?

The specs. for the 24" iMac display state simply "millions of colors." At the same time the specs. for, for example, a 23" cinema display state very specifically "16.7 million colors" (which I believe would be 24 bit color). So my question is, specifically, how many colors will the 24" iMac display really produce?

Do you know (or does anyone else know) how to tell if a monitor uses the 8-bit S-IPS panels?
Is there a label on the monitor or is there a software test available to determine this?
There are several possibilities:
1) tftcentral.co.uk has an extensive database that lists LCD panel part numbers
for many popular monitors. They also have a listing of panel specs -- sorted by
manufacturer's part number.
2) The monitor's "viewing angle" specs are a strong clue. 160 degrees or less is
a fairly sure sign of a TN panel. 178 degrees generally indicates an S-IPS panel;
panels in the 170-175 degree range are likely to be S-PVA or a similar type of
high-quality panel. If it's not TN, it's almost certainly an 8-bit panel.
3) For iMacs, you can download a copy of SwitchResX.app and interrogate the
panel type with "Export DDC." The last few lines of the DDC information block
indicate the manufacturer's part number of the panel -- and with that, you can
find the specs on tftcentral.co.uk.
4) Google. Online reviews by Xbitlabs.com, tomshardware.com, tftcentral.co.uk,
etc. often reveal the panel type.

How change color on form SAP 7.5

How change color on the form when the form load (Form Partners or Invoice form). I can use SDK UI-API programing interface.
OR
how change color cell on matrix (matrix chose PH)

You can use something like this as the custom validation script of the
drop-down:
if (event.value=="Customer A") event.target.textColor = color.red;
else event.target.textColor = color.black;
Make sure you tick the option to commit the selected value immediately
(under Properties - Options), so that it will change as soon as a selection
is made.

Hi Shobhit,
you can write something like xfa.host.setFocus(<text field name>). to set the focus or
<text field name>.fillColor = "120,120,123";
<text field name>.resolveNode"ui.#textEdit").border.edge.fill.color.value="120,150.200";
to fill the color.
Refer to adobe dev centger scripting samples to learn more on these.
Hope these helps.

Since this is (evidently) being prepared for screen printing, your options will be affected by answers to these questions:
Are halftone dots going to be allowed? Screen printing setups (especially in common T-shirt shops) often require solids only.
If the screen printing setup can accommodate halftoning, at what halftone ruling? When a particular screen printing setup is limited to very course (ugly) halftone ruling--commonly 30 lpi or less--one often opts for textures or grain to achieve the effect of shading.
Are the inks going to be opaque? Opaque inks are most common, but limit the possible results when overlapped. Translucent inks are only suitable for white or very light substrate colors. If the screen setup is sophisticated enough to support decent halftone ruling, and will be printed on a white substrate, then the colors you have listed could be accomplished simply building the file as ordinary four-color process, instead of with 5 colors. (None of the colors you've listed—red, green, yellow, two blues, two browns—suggest requiring a 5th spot ink.)
Illustrator does not support multi-ink swatches. You can use multiple fills and/or strokes set to overprint to replicate it in output. But Illustrator cannot properly display overprinting of opaque inks in its interface. Overprint preview always assumes the translucent inks of offset printing.
All the above is why it is common to build screen printing projects in Photoshop as multichannel documents, saved as DCS 2 EPS, or printed to Adobe PDF as separations. It's more intuitive because you have a Channel (not to be confused with Layers) for each ink, and the program is able to properly preview the printed results because you can simulate opacity, including the color of the substrate.
Working this way, it is common to create vector objects in Illustrator and then paste them into the appropriate Channel in Photoshop.
...my boss advised me to do it in duotone...
I suspect your boss doesn't know what a duotone is. Duotone (and tritone, quadtone) print multiple separations of the same grayscale channel. Duotone in Photoshop is the modern analog of the process darkroom technique of making two separation plates from the same image, using different screen angles and exposures. In Photoshop, you can do this for up to four inks, optionally applying different grayscale curves to each ink, not different channels (different artwork) to each ink. Traditionally, this was done to impart a bit of "color interest" to black-and-white photos being printed in a 2-ink job.
Your boss is saying "duotone," but he's thinking of the functionality of a multichannel file using spot inks. Even Photoshop's quadtone would not give you five inks.

Looking at this article, it doesn't look like that camera model is supported by iPhoto. You may want to get in touch with Sony and see if they have any software that will allow you to import/view it.
