How to undo all colour balance/saturation effects on a layer to default when recolouring a logo?

I'm recolouring a game logo, and I have seperate areas of this logo on each layer. Because I have little idea on what I'm doing, I need to reset the layers to the same as the default logo because I saved it after recolouring because I'm stupid. Here's what it looks like: http://i.imgur.com/tbHzyJ6.jpg
As you can see in the logo layer, that is the original, and all other layers are seperate areas such as the letters only. However they have all been colour balanced to get that recolour. All layers have been cut into the own section, so the letters layer has only the logo's letters.
I didn't make any layers for image adjustments or anything, was just wondering if there was any way to get the default logo colours back while cut in the same areas which the layers are.
Sorry if this is posted in the wrong place. Thanks!

Please post images on this Forum directly.
With the Layer you want to copy from selected load the Selection of an existing Layer by command-clicking its icon in the Layers Panel, then hit command-J (Layer > New > Layer Via Copy).

  • How to undo the "replace with after effects composition" command?

    Hi,
    I don't know if there is a better way, but i make my color corection in after effects with Color Finesse and i use this command: right click on clip and "replace with after effects composition" - that a good way but, the problem is when i wanna to undo this and to bring back my old clip from an AE Composition.
    this is how my clip looks beforee
    and after
    it works fi i use "undo" command, but after i save the project, and restart premiere, that command is gone.
    my question: what can I do to bring back my old video?
    thanks.

    You can try to go to one of the autosave versions and see if you can bring it back that way (if the history is cleared)...
    Seems a little extreme
    If you still have the original source audio in your sequence, as your example shows, park the CTI at the beginning of clip instance and target just the audio track (i.e. deselect the video track). Hit the M key to match frame the original master clip, hit I to mark an in point, and then hold down the Alt key and drag the Video Only button from the Source Monitor to the AE comp item. The AE comp will be replaced with the original video and linked to the audio.
    The upshot of all this is that, unless you make a duplicate before using the "Replace" command or undo immediately after doing so, there is no direct way to get back to the original footage.

  • How do I uninstall 178,210 personas that my daughter installed, I have no idea how she did this or how to undo all this mess. One at a time may take me several years, have any suggestions for more than one. Thanks

    My daughter has an addiction to computer and I thought she couldn't get thru my FoxFilter, never thought there was something she could mess up on Firefox itself. Every time I start my computer it runs and runs, and takes forever for anything to download. I understand why. I just don't know how to fix it. Since there are 178,210 of these personas been added to firefox. Thanks for your help.
    == This happened ==
    Not sure how often
    == Maybe alot was done on 7/30 or 7/31/10

    Did she install the Personas Plus extension (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions)?
    Firefox only keeps the last 8 installed personas by default.

  • How to put all pictures in a document in one layer

    OK, I have a huge document on 1730 pages and all text and pictures are in the same layer.
    How can I mark all the pictures and put them all in one (other) layer, without doing it manually, page by page?
    (maybe using Find/change - Object?)
    Can anyone help me?

    This will select all your linked files in the active document and embed them:
    * a slight modification *
    for(i = app.activeDocument.placedItems.length - 1; i >= 0 ; i--) {
            app.activeDocument.placedItems[i].selected = true;
            app.activeDocument.placedItems[i].embed();

  • How to reset all the icon spacing etc in Finder back to default?

    I have tried to set back to the default values but it's still isn't quite the same as before -- the horizontal spacing is correct but not the vertical one. Is there a way to reset the icon spacing as default?
    Thank you.

    Your not done... That will set the user defined defaults back to the Apple defined defaults. To get your folders to use the Apple defined defaults, open up a folder showing the wrong spacing and press Command-J to bring up the View Options window. At the bottom of the View Options window there is a button that says "Use as Defaults". Press the Option Key and the "Use as Defaults" button will change to "Restore to Defaults". Click the "Restore to Defaults" button and the folder will go back to the Apple defined default settings. You might need to Control-click on the window for the folder and select "Clean Up" to get things lined up. Good luck...

  • How to convert all artwork in single layer ? no group / a single layer - illustrator

    Hello,
    So now i'm here to ask for some help in illustrator.
    In illustrator i design some artwork and now the total layers are about several hundreads. so now i'm about to combine all those artowrk layers in one layer, so that it will be a nice clean file with text layers that are to edit and one single artwork background layer.
    Are there anyways ?

    ...but it forms a new group and i'm trying to form a new layer so that it contains all artwork but it's a layer [no group].
    That's why Steve said you can thereafter simply Ungroup. When you do, everything will be on the same Layer.
    Steve's suggestion is taking advantage of the fact that in Illustrator, you can't have members of a Group spanning Layers. Whenever you have a Group, all its members are on the same Layer. So when you Group objects which presently reside on different Layers, they all get moved to the same Layer. So simply invoking Group followed by Ungroup does what you want.
    You seem to be confused about what Groups/Layers are. The confusion is common in Illustrator.
    Just think of an Illustrator file as a list of objects. Just think of a Layer as a pair of invisible "brackets" around a single range of items in that list. Just think of a Group as the same thing; it's just another pair of brackets around a single range of items in the same list. Both of the "brackets" of a  Group have to be between the "brackets" of a single Layer.
    Ill Illustrator, the Layers palette doesn't just list Layers. It also lists all the objects in the document. So the vast majority of the listings in the Layers palette are not Layers; they are just objects which reside within a Layer.
    Every object resides on a Layer. You can't have an object that isn't in a Layer. That's why every document contains at least one Layer.
    An object does not have to reside in a Group. But if it does, that Group resides within a single Layer. A Group is one of the kinds of objects which can reside in a Layer.
    All objects in a Group are contiguous. There are no "jumps" or "gaps" between the objects in a Group. They are all next to each other in the list.
    All objects in a Layer are contiguous. There are no "jumps" or "gaps" between the objects in a Layer. They are all next to each other in the list.
    So again, just think of a Layer as a pair of "brackets" around a portion of a list of objects. Just think of a Group as an optional pair of "sub brackets" within the "brackets" of a single Layer.

  • Our EFFECT COLOUR CORRECTION COLOUR BALANCE  feature doesn't work on solids. Any clues?

    Hi, I'm trying to help a friend troubleshoot a light sabre effect. He has followed a series of instructions from the net, but no matter what we try the solid will not change colour using the EFFECT > COLOUR CORRECTION > COLOUR BALANCE feature on the layer.
    On the linked page is the file + full instructions:
    http://beyondthewallmedia.com/?q=aftereffectsproblem
    Could someone more experienced with After Effects please help us out and tell us why this feature isn't working in this project?
    "Using your mouse to slide the numbers, drag the 3 “Blue Balance” labels to the right, up to 100 is you wish. This should start to change your glowing white lightsabre into a blue one. Play around with it, till you have the colour you want. You can slide the “Red” and “Green” Balance labels to the left to lessen their effect too."
    Would really value someone taking a look at this for us. Thanks.

    I agree with Mylenium.  There are some serious flaws in the instructions.  With no colour in the solid, Color Balance will have no effect.
    But your project is also incorrectly built, according to the instructions: you've duplicated the mask 5 times, rather than the layer.
    In the precomp, make your solid blue, with just one feathered mask, duplicate the layer 3-5 times, switch all to Add transfer mode.

  • PSE9 - How to undo Effect without undoing other actions

    I've been wondering this for a while, but keep forgetting to post - Sometimes when creating a project, I'll add an "effect," such as a drop shadow, to a layer, but later decide to change it. 
    How do I undo that effect without undoing all the other actions that i have applied between when I initially applied the drop shadow, and when I decide to change it?
    Is there a way to choose "no effect" in the Effects?  If not, it would be helpful to have that option in this case.
    Thanks for any help!

    Well, a layer style is not an effect. If you really mean layer styles (like the drop shadow you mentioned), just go to Layer>Layer Style>Clear Layer Style. That works any time, even after you've saved and closed the file.
    Actual effects are actions, and you can only back out of those with the undo commands/undo history. Once you pass the number of history states you're saving, or once you close the image, that's it. No going back.

  • I found My iPhone contacts on my friends Iphone we both have 4s! But we use the same apple ID and ICloud ID! How can undo what happened? all my private stuff is now on his phone!!! help me plz!!?

    I found My iPhone contacts on my friends Iphone we both have 4s! But we use the same apple ID and ICloud ID! How can undo what happened? all my private stuff is now on his phone!!! help me plz!!?

    Of course if you are both connected to the same iCloud account you have the same contacts - what did you expect?. The contacts live on the server and are read from there by the devices; so as you've both managed to sync your contacts up to iCloud they are now inextricably mixed. You can only delete your contacts by deleting individual ones, and doing that will delete them from your phone as well.
    You can only unravel this by
    1. In the iCloud contacts page at http://icloud.com, select all the contacts, click on the cogwheel icon at bottom left and choose 'Export vCard'.
    2. Sign out of System Preferences>iCloud
    3. Create a new Apple ID and open a new iCloud account with it for your own use.
    4. Import the vCard back into the iCloud contacts page.
    5. Go to http://icloud.com and sign in with the original ID. This is now his ID. Work through the contacts individually deleting the ones you don't want him to have. When done sign out and advise him to change his password.
    6. Go to the new iCloud account and delete his contacts individually.
    Of course if you have also been syncing calendars and using the same email address there are problems with doing this.

  • Colour Balance

    Hi,
    I'm looking for a set of controls in Aperture that approximates the 'Colour Balance' option in Photoshop. I saved an action in Photoshop that I used to warm my shots.
    My setting in photoshop was to drag the Red/Cyan balance slightly to Red and the Yellow/Blue balance slightly to the Yellow, which produced a nice, rounded warmth.
    In Aperture, despite detailed colour controls, I can't seem to find one that adjusts the balance in the same way. They are all individually adjusted for Saturation and Luminance etc...
    The white balance tool in Aperture doesn't really offer the same control. Its a bit like Colour Balance in PS but without the Cyan/Red & Magenta/Green sliders
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks.

    Yea the wheels themselves take a delicate touch - they really were meant as correction tools to be used with the droppers to neutralize a cast.
    Just remember you beginning color theory to get the effect you want with the mid sliders and then save your adjustment as a preset template on a template image - Ian Wood has a writeup on his site if you do not know what I mean.
    I remember when this digital thing came along and all of my clients would freak if I sent them an RGB vs CMYK - they had CMYK wired into their print oriented brains.

  • How do you create this dithered pixel effect?

    hey guys really need to figure out how this image was created...
    firstly was it done in photoshop? if so with what techniques? i tried using indexed colour in the image>mode, with palette>uniform, dither>pattern but still didnt get the high quality that these guys got. i tried saving as a gif/png with pattern option selected in photoshop and illustrator, still did'nt succeed. Was this done using pixelbender? or some type of plugin? anyhow, really need to figure this out. appreciate any help you guys can provide. thanks.

    Hey again,
    I thought i had everything worked out the first time, though as it now turns out, I did'nt. At the outset, let me just say that the overlay of the upper layer with halftone/dither worked just fine and absolutely no problems there. However, I am having a lot of difficulty in getting the lower layers to look right. The main issue for me is the colour/coloured glow? on the lowest layer and then the layer with code on it.
    For the layer with code on it I would really like to get the same colours and style that is used on the Reference image that I uploaded. For that i tried print screening an image of source code from a random website and even a print screen of code on 'style editor' (i am using Firefox). Inverting that print screen layer and/or then adjusting all kinds of settings like hue/saturation, channel mixers, curves, modes, etc. etc. just didnt help. I tried print screening from Dreamweaver-no luck. also tried copying the text and pasting into photoshop and adding lighting effects like blue omni etc...still nothing like the reference image. So i'm stuck there.
    Secondly, the Coloured layer(mostly blue)-I'm able to get those thin blue and coloured streaks just fine using a brush with colourdodge mode etc. and blurring. However the main blue 'blur' is still hard to create. I tried filling a separate layer above with blue and then motion blur followed by eraser at the edges but can't for example, get the change in colour of text at the bottom left corner to that burn effect among all the other things(using burn did'nt help). Anyhow to make a long story short...stuck here as well.
    Any help you guys can provide will be much appreciated! Thanks again for taking the time to help out.

  • 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

  • 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:
