How To Refresh Faded Colour Image

I have some old comic books jpg files. Very old comics they were when scanned in. So all the colours are very faded. The reds are pink, the blues are almost grey, etc...
Can photoshop somehow restore them to their original comic book poster colour brightness?
How?
The comic was/is the Eagle comic from the U.K.
I have tried fooling with various controls - colour saturation and such - without any success. If that is the way to do it I still need more help than merely pointing in that direction - if anyone can be kind enough to give it...
regards,
ab

Looks beautiful to me, guys, though I haven't downloaded them, looked at them full screen or anything.
Getting late at night here and I've got a big day tomorrow, got to go so I'm a bit hurried. Looks to me like you've cracked it, done the job.
What else do I need to do to test it? Just download an peruse through my normal progs whatever they are I guess. I'll do that tomorrow. Certainly looks fine to me. Better than I was able to get.
And so what was it - Image Auto Color and a bit of Curves operation? I've only got CS3. I've got that on it? I'll look tomorrow. Sorry to seem so abrupt - if you're in another time zone you could have like all day ahead of you... it's 11:41 p.m. here and I gotta go...
Thanks a lot.... what an amazing immediate fix...

How to print a monochromatic image in a colour other than black?

I have an image in photoshop that is currently black and white, but I would like to print in a monochromatic green, as in just #00ff00 colour; so that it prints in green and white. How do I edit the image so that it prints like this?

Use your B&W image, inverted, in the mask channel of a Solid Color Layer with the specific colour that you require. Underneath that put a solid white background layer.
Use linear blending (Ps default is gamma 2.2). In Edit > Color Settings, set RGB blending to 1.00.

I was using photoshop CC as normal, when suddenly it started going haywire. It has corrupted all the one PSD files by distorting the images and colour. Does anyone know how to recover the original images?

I was using photoshop CC as normal, when suddenly it started going haywire. It has corrupted all the open PSD files by distorting the images and colour. They are now completely unrecognisable and unusable. Does anyone know how to recover the original images as I was saving them as I went along but the files are now corrupt?

What version of Photoshop are you running?
I've seen a couple of instances over the last week or two where Photoshop has added masks, strange colours and also merged content from two separate PSD files that were open at the same time.
This has occurred on two different iMacs, (both 10.10.x) running Photoshop CC 2014.2.2 (20141204.r.310 x64).

How do I use Adobe Edge to get faded header images on my website?

Trying to use Adobe Edge to get faded header images on my website. Was referred to Adobe Edge because it is supposed to be easy for beginners. I was able to upload my images, but then there was no instruction/direction on what to do next. Everything I clicked just brought me somewhere else. I'm a novice who needs help with coding, as everytime I tried adding coding to my page, it messed it up. I would appreciate if someone can tell me what to do after I upload the images.

Yes, Animate. Again, I uploaded the images, but then, I didn't see any directions on what to do next, as I would like fading header images for my website. I understand that it is supposed to generate the code for my website, which is where I need the most help.

How do I fix colour picker to work across different colour-managed monitors?

Hey everyone!
I'm assuming this problem I'm having stems from having colour-calibrated monitors, but let me know if I'm wrong!
To preface, this is the setup I have:
Windows 7
3 monitors as follows, all have individual colour profiles calibrated using the Spyder 3
Cintiq 12WX
Dell U2410
Dell 2409WFP
Photoshop CS6 - Proofed with Monitor RGB, and tested with colour-managed and non-colour-managed documents
I usually do most of my work on the Cintiq 12WX, but pull the photoshop window to my main monitor to do large previews and some corrections. I noticed that the colour picker wouldn't pick colours consistently depending on the monitor the Photoshop window is on.
Here are some video examples:
This is how the colour picker works on my Dell U2410: http://screencast.com/t/lVevxk5Ihk
This is how it works on my Cintiq 12WX: http://screencast.com/t/tdREx4Xyhw9
Main Question
I know the Cintiq's video capture makes the picture look more saturated than the Dell's, but it actually looks fine physically, which is okay. But notice how the Cintiq's colour picker doesn't pick a matching colour. It was actually happening the opposite way for a while (Dell was off, Cintiq was fine), but it magically swapped while I was trying to figure out what was going on. Anyone know what's going on, and how I might fix it?
Thanks for *any* help!
Semi-related Question regarding Colour Management
Colour management has always been the elephant-in-the-room for me when I first tried to calibrate my monitors with a Spyder colourimeter years ago. My monitors looked great, but Photoshop's colours became unpredictable and I decided to abandon the idea of calibrating my monitors for years until recently. I decided to give it another chance and follow some tutorials and articles in an attempt to keep my colours consistent across Photoshop and web browsers, at least. I've been proofing against monitor colour and exporting for web without an attached profile to keep pictures looking good on web browsers. However, pictures exported as such will look horrible when uploaded to Facebook. Uploading pictures with an attached colour profile makes it look good on Facebook. This has forced me to export 2 versions of a picture, one with an attached colour profile and one without, each time I want to share it across different platform. Is there no way to fix this issue?
Pictures viewed in Windows Photo Viewer are also off-colour, but I think that's because it's not colour managed... but that's a lesser concern.

I think I've figured out the colour management stuff in the secondary question, but the weird eyedropper issue is still happening. Could just be a quirk from working on things across multiple monitors, but I'm hoping someone might know if this is a bug/artifact.
Going to lay out what I inferred from my experiments regarding colour management in case other noobs like me run into the same frustrations as I did. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong - the following are all based on observation.
General Explanation
A major source of my problems stem from my erroneous assumption that all browsers will use sRGB when rendering images. Apparently, most popular browsers today are colour-managed, and will use an image's embedded colour profile if it exists, and the monitor's colour profile if it doesn't. This was all well and good before I calibrated my monitors, because the profile attached to them by default were either sRGB or a monitor default that's close to it. While you can never guarantee consistency on other people's monitors, you can catch most cases by embedding a colour profile - even if it is sRGB. This forces colour-managed browsers to use sRGB to render your image, while non-colour-managed browsers will simply default to sRGB. sRGB seems to be the profile used by Windows Photo Viewer too, so images saved in other wider gamut colour spaces will look relatively drab when viewed in WPV versus a colour-managed browser.
Another key to figuring all this out was understanding how Profile Assignment and Conversion work, and the somewhat-related soft-proofing feature. Under Edit, you are given the option to either assign a colour profile to the image, or convert the image to another colour profile. Converting an image to a colour profile will replace the colour profile and perform colour compensations so that the image will look as physically close to the original as possible. Assigning a profile only replaces the colour profile but performs no compensations. The latter is simulated when soft-proofing (View > Proof Colors or ctrl/cmd-Y). I had followed bad advice and made the mistake of setting up my proofing to Monitor Color because this made images edited in Photoshop look identical when the same image is viewed in the browser, which was rendering my images with the Monitor's colour profile, which in turn stemmed from yet another bad advice I got against embedding profiles . This should formally answer Lundberg's bewilderment over my mention of soft-proofing against Monitor Colour.
Conclusion and Typical Workflow (aka TL;DR)
To begin, these are the settings I use:
Color Settings: I leave it default at North American General Purpose 2, but probably switch from sRGB to AdobeRGB or ProPhoto RGB so I can play in a wider gamut.
Proof Setup: I don't really care about this anymore because I do not soft-proof (ctrl/cmd-Y) in this new workflow.
Let's assume that I have a bunch of photographs I want to post online. RAWs usually come down in the AdobeRGB colour space - a nice, wide gamut that I'll keep while editing. Once I've made my edits, I save the source PSD to prep for export for web.
To export to web, I first Convert to the sRGB profile by going to Edit > Convert to Profile. I select sRGB as the destination space, and change the Intent to either Perceptual or Relative Colorimetric, depending on what looks best to me. This will convert the image to the sRGB colour space while trying to keep the colours as close to the original as possible, although some shift may occur to compensate for the narrower gamut. Next, go to Save for Web. The settings you'll use:
Embed Color Profile CHECKED
Convert to sRGB UNCHECKED (really doesn't matter since you're already in the sRGB colour space)
and Preview set to Internet Standard RGB (this is of no consequence - but it will give a preview of what the image will look like in the sRGB space)
That's it! While there might be a slight shift in colour when you converted from AdobeRGB to sRGB, everything from then on should stay consistent from Photoshop to the browser
Edit: Of course, if you'd like people to view your photos in glorious wide gamut in their colour-managed browsers, you can skip the conversion to sRGB and keep them in AdobeRGB. When Saving for Web, simply remember to Embed the Color Profile, DO NOT convert to sRGB, and set Preview to "Use Document Profile" to see what the image would look like when drawn with the embedded color profile

How to insert a conditional image into a report

Hi
I am fairly new to HTML DB, but I have managed to create my first application.
I need a little help with one report.
One of the columns in the report contains Y, N or R. The customer wants me to display a different coloured image depending on the value (ie a red button for N, green for Y or amber for R).
I have can add a static image to a report via "Column Formatting" -> "HTML Expression", but I have no idea how to make it conditional.
Any ideas?
Many thanks in advance.
Rak

Great, that works!!!!
Thanks very much.
For completeness (incase anyone else reads this), there was one typo, in your solution, you omitted the opening '<' in the image source HTML tag
select loanno, itemid,
decode (returned, 'N', '<img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#bullet_red.gif" border="0" alt="Loaned">',
'Y', '<img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#bullet_green.gif" border="0" alt="In Library">',
'R', '<img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#bullet_orange.gif" border="0" alt="Returned">'
) as status

Thanks for your help,...

How do I create an image with a transparent shape?

Hi
This should be easy -
The end result I want is this:
a png which is mostly black (or any colour) but with a defined shape in it which is transparent.
I have the shape. I select it. I seem to be able to make a mask from this (a selection which I can copy and move about). But what I can't figure out how
is how to create a new image which is filled except for this masked area.
Any help gratefully received.
Thanks

Open a blank, new file with foreground color green
Type text
Open effects palette, and in the drop-down go to bevels, then select "Simple Emboss" - it is the second one in my program. Apply
Still in he effects palette, in the drop-down, go to visibility, select "Hide". Apply
Double click the f icon on the text layer in the layers palette to bring up the Style settings dialog, and add a small stroke to better define the letters.

PS CS6 - How do I get colour picker to show the colour difference between new & current in the colour preview box?

In previous versions, I would click the on the colour selection boxes (tool bar) and the colour difference would show in the Colour Picker box. The selected colour (new or current) would show. The target circle would physically move around. Now all the colour number change, but the colour target doesn't move. I used to colour correct items by checking how close using the colour picker and rapidly switching back & forth. Now I can't do that. Help!

In a nutshell, you have to simplify the frame layer and erase the interior.
Here are the steps:
Create your background.
Add a new layer:
Drag the frame you want to use onto the editing surface. The frame will come in on its own layer:
Simplify that frame layer:
Choose the Magic Wand Tool and give it these settings:
Click on the interior gray area of the frame with the Magic Wand to select it, and hit your Delete key:
Switch to the Eraser Tool and erase the stuff that's left in the middle:
Select the empty layer (Layer 1 in this example) and use File...Place to place your image on it. The layer name will change to the name of the image. Adjust the size and placement of the image. Your layers will now look like this:
With the frame layer selected, add a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer, making sure to "clip" it to the frame layer. Adjust the sliders to suit:
The final result:

How to change the colour of selected item in itemrenderer

Hello guys
please tell me how to change the selected image( which is in itemrender of tilelist).so that the colour sholud be shown within image not its outer part due to renderer.
Thanks in Advance

Currently you cannot, it is a known (and hopefully reported, and at least addressed for next version) bug (or limitation, as they rushed to get the components out before JavaOne...).
People reported they just put an empty text and put a label beside the component. Ugly workaround (bad when the component will be complete) but if it works... :-)

Video picture bright green and pink, how do I adjust colour?

how do I adjust colour / brightness of my video picture

Thank you Russ, this certainly helps me out a little bit. It's not made very clear in other places I've seen that you have to click on the keyframe in the middle of the picture. Throughout most of yesterday I was clicking on the keyframe in the upper right corner and nothing was happening. But this all still feels kinda limited however especially compared with what I could do in FCP7. Is this all FCPX has to offer? Perhaps I don't understand how this works?
When I click on the keyframe, I get only two choices, linear or smooth. Yet, the still image still does this ease in and out thing. How can I adjust that? Aslo, how can I make constant movement? If I want it to go from picture to picture with constant movement, never starting and stopping, how do I make that happen?

How do I activate colour management in Flash CS4?

I am struggling to find clear guidance on how to switch on colour management in Flash CS4. My attempts to search online have tended to give me far too many irrelevent results and it is not even mentioned in the index of my 700 page Flash CS4 textbook.
Some guidance would be appreciated.
David

I've found what appears to be an answer to my own question at the following link,
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/quickstart/color_correction_as3/
The only problem is that it is an Actionscript 3.0 solution. Unfortunately, this is of limited use to me as most of my current Flash apps are image galleries purchased from activeden.net, all of which are written in AS2.
Am I right in thinking that there is no way of mixing AS2 and AS3 code in the same FLA?

Convert colour images to grayscale images & get pixel data from them

Is the code below correct to convert colour images to grayscale images in Java?
public void convertToGrayscale (String sourceName,String destName) throws Exception {
JPEGImageDecoder decoder=JPEGCodec.createJPEGDecoder(new FileInputStream(sourceName));
JPEGImageEncoder encoder=JPEGCodec.createJPEGEncoder(new FileOutputStream(destName));
BufferedImage sourceImg=decoder.decodeAsBufferedImage();
BufferedImageOp op =new ColorConvertOp(
ColorSpace.getInstance(ColorSpace.CS_GRAY),null);
BufferedImage destImg = op.filter(sourceImg,null);
encoder.encode(destImg);
decoder = null;
encoder = null;
When I get grayscale images from the code below, I would like to access the pixels of those images. So I tried to do:
byte[] dd=((DataBufferByte)mImage.getRaster().getDataBuffer()).getData();
BUT the data result array is not 0-255. Could anyone suggest how to obtain pixel data from grayscale images?
In case that my code shown is not correct or suitable, please give your advice. What I would like to do are in the steps as follows:
1 change 100*70 jpeg-images to 100*70 grayscale images.
2 create two dimensional array of pixel data (example [100][70]) from converted images. The number in the array should be between 0-255, right??? And 0 refers to black colour and 255 refers to white colour???
I am confused about grayscale images. Please help.
Thank you so much

I am not sure i understand what is the problem exactly.
Structure of DataBuffer is described by SampleModel used by same Raster
object. E.g. it might be 1 byte per xipex or 4 bytes per pixel.
In your example convertToGrayscale saves images to file as JPEG and
it seems you later read it back. It is possible what image you read back
is not greyscale but ARGB and data buffer has different format.
Technically, if you just need level of grey you may simply
call getRGB on your output image. Grey is uniform mix of R, G and B.
Also, instead of ColorConverOp you may dimply create output image of
grayscale type and draw your color input image with drawImage().
If none of these helps please try to provide more details.

How do I change colour negative to positive?

How do I change colour negative to positive?

Using the application Final Cut Express?
Are you speaking of a film negative for a photograph?
You can edit the image to the timeline, then go Effects Tab > Video Filters > Channel > Invert and apply the Invert effect to the clip on the timeline.
Note that film negatives do not render color correctly when inverted. When they were printed, color correction "packs" were applied that were emulsion specific to balance the latent color skew present in the negative image.
So you will also need to then add the effect Video Filters > Color Correction > Color Corrector and make further adjustments.
