How to make a color wheel?

I'm using CS4 on a Mac.
I need to make a color wheel, like the attached, but with 24 segments.
Could someone tell me how? Start with a circle, obviously, and then what?

If I wanted to try a different method - is there a way I can make a 15 degree segment with an arc at the top and bottom that I can fill with color, and then repeat it 23 times?
The only way to do that and ensure your segments would meet in a perfect circle would be to start with the circle and divide it into a 15d segment, so you'd merely be tripling the amount of work. Plus, it will be needlessly fussy to get that rotation correct.
Here's what to do -- Create a circular band having the width that you want, divide it into segments, and paint the segments with the Live Paint tool:
Draw your outer circle with the default empty fill and 1pt black stroke.
Use Object...Path...Offset Path to offset that circle by a negative amount to get your inner circle.
Select both circles and use Object...Compound Path...Make to get your circular band.
Choose the Line Segment Tool, move your cursor until it's shown as being at the "center" of the circle band shape. Hold down your Alt key to draw the line from the center of your drag and also hold down the Shift key to constrain your cursor to create a vertical line. Draw the line until it extends past the outer edge of the circular band.
With that line segment selected, double-click on the Rotate Tool, set a 15d rotation angle (from the center point, which is the default), choose "Preview", then click the "Copy" button to get a rotated line.
Exit the Rotation options window, and with that last line still selected, keep hitting the Ctrl+D keys to duplicate that rotation and copy until you get your segments defined.
Select everything and click on the selection with the Live Paint Bucket Tool to define the object as a Live Paint Group.
Use the LPBucket to colour your circle segments as you wish:
When you're finished, use Object...Expand to break the thing into two Groups: the guidelines and the coloured segments.
In the Layers Panel, select the guidelines group and hit your Delete key to get rid of the lines:
Don't worry -- it took about 359 times longer to write all those steps than to actually do it!

How to make a Colorful Gif Image for Holi

How to make a colorful Gif Image for Happy Holi 2014

Okay, I know this doesn't answer your question, but don't get me wrong. A logo is meant to be the way it was designed - upright, no flipping/ swiveling animation. Why exactly do you want to let your logo turn around?
If its to grab attention, why dont you consider animating the area on which your logo sits (header)? Or maybe add nice transitive slideshows on your main content area to add more interactivity?

HT1349 How to stop spinning color wheel and open macair?

How to stop spinning color wheel so can open Mac air system?

Thanks for your suggestions everyone, however....
I just checked out the activity monitor when FCP was being sluggish. FCP was using only 300mb of real memory, and 1GB of virtual memory, even though there was more or less 1gb of real RAM completely unused. I quit and relaunched FCP, and the sluggishness disappeared. Now it is using 200 odd and 650mb of real and virtual memory respectively, and there's still much the same amount of RAM completely free - this looks like the way FCP genreally behaves, and I have to wonder if the sluggishness has much to do with how much RAM I have - it's not using it all whether it's being sluggish or not. I don't want to spend money on more RAM if I don't need to - is this absolutely definately a RAM issue, seeing as there's still nearly a GB free when it's being sluggish? Or is FCP just using virtual memory when it doesn't have to?
In the manual it says that the memory & cache settings in system settings maintain the performance of FCP by preventing it from using virual memory unneccesarily. It says that limiting the amount of RAM used helps, which seems counterintuitive, the obvious thing would be to turn it up to full. Can anyone tell me the optimum setting for the memory panel in system settings?

[iPhone] How to make one color transparent on a UIImage?

On my iPhone app I have a UIImage instance. I want to get a derived a UIImage that is the result of the first UIImage where one of its colors (e.g. magenta) is made transparent. How can I do this?
NOTE: I cannot make the color transparent in Photoshop, the UIImage is created on the fly by the user. I need to do the "postprocessing" on the phone itself, after the user is done "drawing" the image.

I still do not know your version of Premiere Elements and your computer operating system, but here is a plan that would probably work for Premiere Elements 11, 12/12.1, and 13/13.1 on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit.
But you say that you are starting with a black and white image. If you could start with the color version of the image, I think we have a promising path to have the fake blood appear in color on a black and white image.
This would be done by applying the Color Pass effect to the color photo version. Color Pass Effect is found under fx Effects/Image Control/Color Pass.
Then you would edit the Color Pass effect under Applied Effects Tab/Appied Effects Palette/Color Pass Panel expanded. But I find that the most effective editing of that effect is done using the Setup whose icon appear to the right of the Color Pass Panel.
Have you used the Color Pass effect before?

How to make word colorful in JtextArea?

word in JTextArea is black usually. is it possible to make word colorful? Or any other methods. any suggestions and examples are appreciated.
thanks a lot.

all one (foreground) colour and background colour, all one font? - sure no problem, but different colours and/or fonts - no chance! As the previous poster says, you need JTextPane.
myTArea.setForeground(Color.cyan);
myTArea.setBackground(Color.blue);
myTArea.setFont(new Font("Comic Sans MS", Font.BOLD, 14));
... very pretty!

How to make a color effect

hey,
how can I make in adobe premiere pro this color effect? (looks like x-ray)
thank you!!

It might be a tad complicated.
Because the hands stay pretty much the same, a simple invert might not work.
It might require that the highlights and shadows be inverted individually, leaving the midtones alone.
First try inverting the lightness, and try the luminance. Once of those might be sufficient.

How to make white colored sections transparent

I have made a logo that consists of a black circle, with lots of text and shapes inside that are colored white. It looks fine on a white background, but when you change the background color the text stays white, when I want it to be transparent like a "cut out". How can I achieve this easily and still be able to edit the text?

Thanks Jacob! This worked. I already tried clipping masks and pathfinder but they didn't work very well because I used strokes around the white shapes. Not sure about knockout groups, but it did what I wanted.

How to make a color bar expand to screen size?

I'm building a website in adobe muse. I have a few color bars that I would like to reach the edge of the viewers screen (left and right) so that you can't see the edges of the bar. All of my content is centered, so it'd be ideal to accomplish this without causing the page to have a scroll bar(left and right)
Thanks in advance,

How to make the color of one picture to be the same as another one

I want to change the orange color of this button:
to the dark blue(at the top) of this logo,
How could I do this? I am not that familiar with photoshop, please show me the detailed steps if it is possible, thanks

Hi there
Below are instructions on how to recreate the gradient effect of the orange button using the dark blue color from the logo. It is difficult to change the color of a flattened gradient like the one in the orange button. However, recreating the button is a fairly simple process.
Step 1: Open both the button and the logo in Photoshop.
Step 2: Go to the logo image and select the Eyedropper tool from the tool bar, highlighted below. Then, click on the dark blue color in the logo.
Step 3: Go back to the button image and go to your Layers Panel. Create a new layer using the icon highlighted below.
Step 4: From the tool bar, select the Paint Bucket Tool, located directly below the eraser tool. If you don't see it, click and hold on the gradient tool and a submenu should pop out. With the Paint Bucket Tool selected, click on the canvas area to fill it with the dark blue color from the logo.
Step 5: Create a new layer from the layers panel using the same process as Step 3.
Step 6: Click and hold on the Paint Bucket Tool and select the Gradient Tool from the tool bar, as shown below.
Step 7: At the top of your window, you should see the Gradient Tool menu. Select a transparent linear gradient, using the settings highlighted below.
Step 8: Click on the dark bue color swatch in your toolbar to bring up the Color Picker dialog box. Drag the white circle in the color field to the upper left corner to select white. Click OK when you are done.
Step 9: Now you can apply the gradient by clicking and dragging up over the button. Hold the shift button on your keyboard as you drag to create a perfectly vertical line. To create the gradient below, I started from just outside the canvas area and stopped around the middle of the button. This might take a few tries - if you mess up, hit control-Z (Windows) or command-Z (Mac) on your keyboard to undo.
Step 10: Now that you have your gradient, go to the layers panel and use the Opacity slider in the upper right hand corner of the layers panel to reduce the opacity of the gradient.
Step 11: Now you can delete the orange button layer by selecting the layer and clicking the delete icon shown below.
There you go! Now you can save your button and use it as you'd like. If you ever need to change the color, just select the dark blue layer and use the paint bucket tool to fill it with whatever color you want. Below I have included a side-by-side comparison with the original orange button.
If you have any further questions or need clarification, just ask!
Good luck!

How do make the mouse wheel scroll in my Flex app/component instead of the browser?

Let's say I have a DataGrid or Tree or List component which
has hundreds of rows. When I place my mouse over the component and
scroll the mouse wheel, I notice that [most of the time] it scrolls
the component a little, then starts scrolling the browser window. I
want it to only scroll the component until it reaches the end of
the rows. Any thoughts?

I have confronted the same issue.
Was anybody able to solve it?
I think mx.contorols.TextArea seems to do well.

How to make a colored range?

Ok, I'm gonna phrase this as well as I can. I need a formula/function that automatically changes the color of the numbers of a formula. For example if the result of the formula is greater then 15 I need it red, if the result of the formula is greater then and equal to 10 but less then and equal to 15 then I need it green, less then 10 I need it yellow.
Now I know the colors seem weird but they are correct I promise.
Also need one for less then and equal to 10% green greater then 10% red.
Please let me know what you guys think and if it can be done. It can't mess up my existing formulas.

How to make color tone like this?

I'd like to find out how to make similar "color tone" effect like this:
http://www.horror-movies.ca/watermark.php?filename=poster_THE_SITTER_2D_ORING.jpg
I'm talking about those striking "artificial" skin tones you can see on many movie posters (or advertising/fashion posters). For example:
http://www.impawards.com/2008/posters/curious_case_of_benjamin_button_ver3.jpg
http://www.impawards.com/2008/posters/tropic_thunder_ver4.jpg

http://www.impawards.com/tv/posters/dexter_ver2.jpg
http://www.impawards.com/2008/posters/hellboy_two_ver2.jpg
I don't know how to describe it (sorry, english is not my first language), but I like the way the color on the skin affects only certain tones. I hope you understand what I'm talking about :) I tried to play with layer blending (BW + color balance of shadows)... but I never manage to do something like this. I suppose it has to be a common technique, sice I see it on so may posters and photos. Does anybody have some advice? Thanks!

Alan,
The links you posted seem to suggest the effect you are after may be the result of luminance masking, perhaps coupled with a knockout layer to protect the eyes. Try this procedure:
(a) Duplicate the background layer CTRL + J (and perhaps rename it Blur as that helps to emphasise the purpose of the new layer).
(b) With the new Blur layer active, from the Menu bar choose Filter/Blur/Gaussian blur about 20% for starters each image may require slight variations to this amount.
(c) Turn off the visibility of the new Blur layer and select/make active the Background layer.
(d) Go to Channels Palette and CTRL click on the Red channel. Return to the Layers Palette. Turn visibility of new Blur layer back on and select it.
(e) With the new Blur layer active, click the Add layer mask button at the bottom of the Layers Palette this adds the Luminosity Mask to this layer and results in seeing the Gaussian blur now only inside the lightest (50%) details of the image. Now change the Blend Mode of this layer from Normal to Overlay. If the effect seems too strong, try the Soft Light blend mode which is less severe. If you want a greater effect than Overlay delivers, try Linear Light. You can back off the effect of any of these blend modes with the Opacity slider but that would, I think, also back off the amount of Blur, which may or may not (depending upon the image) lessen the overall effect you are aiming for.
(f) Next comes the Knockout Layer (KL) to remove the effect of these Blur and Blend Mode edits from the eyes. The KL must be on top of the Blur layer, so make the Blur layer active and then add a new transparent layer above it - CTRL + Shift + N and name it Knockout.
(g) On the new KL, select the eyes with the Elliptical Marquee Tool (select too much rather than too little reason follows later) and fill the selection with Black ALT + Backspace (provided Foreground Colour in Tools Palette is Black). Then deselect the eyes CTRL + D.
(h) Bring up the Layer Style dialog box (LSDB) by double clicking on the icon for the KL. In the LSDB change Knockout from None to Shallow and reduce Fill Opacity from 100 to zero % and click OK which dismisses the LSDB. That is it you have now eliminated the effects of the Blur layer on the eyes using the Black holes on the KL.
(i) To remove any excess eye selection, you use the Eraser tool (set to about 50% hardness) and paint around the edges of the eyes with the Eraser tool what this is doing is reducing the size of the holes in the KL and bringing back the effects of the edits from the Blur layer.
