I want to color in specific areas

I want to color in a USA/Canada map showing our travels. I want to keep the state outlines, but gradiate (as a group) the colored-in areas.
How can I do this? Thanks!!
I use Elements 7.

http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1VAmKP03NBvO5KfkkJdkA9Snji2Ahp1
I "googled" and found a b/w map of US.
For illustration, I used the magnetic lasso tool to circumscribe several contiguous states
Went to Layer>new>layer via copy
Opened a Gradient fill adjustment layer above this and linked these layers
Reduced the opacity of the Gradient adjustment layer
Solid color adjustment layer works well also

The opacity of the gradient adjustment layer can be reduced further in order to make the names of the states stand out.

  • Color in Specific Area

    I remember in Elements 9 I was able to convert a color photo to black and white and then with the paint brush I could go and paint in the original color on just specific areas.  How is that done in PS5?

    I prefer the flexibility and results of a Black & White adjustment layer, rather than a simple desaturation.
    You have a color image layer.
    Add a Black & White adjustment layer with a white mask.
    Click on the thumbnail of the B&W layer's mask to target it.
    Use the Brush Tool to paint black into the mask where you want colour to be revealed.

  • Selective color partial de-saturation (both specific area AND specific color)

    Hi All,
    I searched a little both here and Google and am now convinced this is not possible in LR. Please let me know your thoughts.
    I want to select a specific area, say bottom half of the image, and then desaturate blue by 50% and aqua by 25%, without affecting any other colors at all.
    Is this possible in LR? Takes 5 seconds in Photoshop, but I don't want to have to export and edit there. I experimented with the color picker under adjustment brush in LR, in hope de-saturation would only apply to the color I selected, but it doesn't seem to work like that.
    There's the "HSL / Color / B&W" section, which is very useful, but it applies to the entire image. Basically I'm after HSL/Color type adjustment for a brush if such a thing exists.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Greg.

    Oggodei81,
    regarding color change with the adj brush:
    If I wish to change the color of, for example, hair, I first select that hair with the adjustment brush with all settings at default. then I fully desat the selected hair. I then END that adjustment and begin a NEW adjustment and, using color picker, paint on the unsaturated hair.
    There is always the problem with getting the desat step and the color change step precisely alligned, but..........
    Not always great but often works.

  • Shots with specific area in colour with B&W Background

    Hey guys,
    I'm new to Premiere Pro but understand the basics.
    Ive been googling my way around to finding ways to complete my film project.
    One thing that bothers me and I would really like to know (and learn) is how to color in a specific area. Ive googled this and I don't believe I have found exactly what I need. I have uploaded an image of what I want on this discussion. The shots are all black and white but as you see I want to manually color in the areas that are not black and white and in this case, it's the teddy bear. Thanks for anyone who responds and please describe in step by steps. I'm also using CS4. And also, I do have many Adobe programs so if I need to after effects than that's no problem. I quickly created this picture by photoshoping the colored teddy bear and placing him in the black and white surroundings. Thanks.

    I can't remember if it was here or in the After Effects forum, but I'm pretty sure that somebody posted a tutorial about that.

  • How to mask out specific area in a specific time?

    Hi,
    I want to make a mask on a specific area of the footage in a specific time. I drew the mask and all the frame went black,so I clicked on Mask-> invert and only the specific area I masked went black,which is exactly what I wanted.
    Now I want to make it happen in a specific time, not on all timeline, but I can't find a way to do it. I thought about lowering down the mask opacity to 0% and a frame later bringing it to 100%, but if I lower down the opacity of the mask, it lowers down the opacity of the whole frame, same as
    lowering down the opacity of the frame by intention, which seems weird, cause I did inverted the mask, and as I understand it, it should affect the opacity of the mask and not the whole frame...
    any ideas...?
    I'm using CS4.

    Put a copy of the footage on the timelime below the one you masked. Use opacity like you doing and it will reveal the track below.

  • When using the "Fill & Sign PDF" feature, is there a way to stretch to size the text box, for a specific area on the page...instead of it going on in one straight long line...?

    When using the "Fill & Sign PDF" feature, is there a way to stretch to size the text box on a specific area of the page...instead of the text box going on in one straight long line....? I'm not seeing there's an option or ability to do so, just wanting to confirm.

    Improving the handling of multiple line text fields is in our plans, but for now, you will have to add manual carriage returns (Enter).

  • Hyperlink from MY website to a specific area on EXTERNAL website

    i was hoping to use an HTML snippet to accomplish this on iWeb. i've spent several hours on google, and this forum too but found NOBODY addressing this:
    i need to create a hyperlink from MY website to an external url. the external page needs to open at a very specific area on the page. i see that this is done on hand-coded websites.
    most iWeb discussions were about hyperlinking to lower down on the same page or within the same website where 'anchors' can be used. obviously that can't be done when linking to an external website.

    Cyclosaurus i appreciate your quick advice.
    the external site i am targeting is:

    if that site is coded so that it can work, i would so greatly appreciate it if you can indicate the actual HTML to put inside the snippet --- i'm an artist, and the rigid 'science' of code is always a challenge. thanks again

  • Creating links to specific area in a PDF

    I want to create a link to go to a specific text area in my one-page PDF... not allowing anything outside of this specified area to be filled unless you click on this link. Does anyone know how to do this?

    Creating a link to a specific area is very easy. Make a button and set its action to "Go to page view", then go to the area (you can even set the zoom level you want) and set the link.
    Preventing the user from leaving that area is not possible.

  • Set color of specific cells in JTable.

    I have a JTable where I want to set the color for specific cells. Is this possible to do, and if so, how?

    Well, one way is to create a custom renderer that know the background color of each cell in the table. The Swing tutorial on [url http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/table.html#renderer]How to Use Table has an example you might be able to build on.
    Or, this posting may give you another approach. The key to both solutions is to somehow specify the color for every cell:

  • My music only wants to play in wifi area?

    My music on my iPhone only wants to play in a wifi zone. When I leave the wifi area only half of them are lite up, the other half doesnt have color but they are there. I seriously dont know what is going on! I even try going onto itunes and syncing the songs but they dont want to sync either! Any ideas on what to do?

    As explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819, with home sharing you are stream music over your wifi network from the iTunes library you are sharing to your device.   As such, as soon as you leave the wifi network the music is no longer available.  You should be able to sync the music to your device with iTunes so it is available wherever you go.  If it is not all in the library you sync with, you would have to use home sharing to copy it from the other library to your library prior to syncing it to your phone.

  • Projector Specific Area or Window

    Hi,
    It's possible to connect an projector to a macbook pro, and choose only an area to be projected ?
    I want this because, i need to show only a window...and work with this...but in the bottom i need some notes... because macbook pro resolution is 1920x1080 and the projector is 1025x768 ... i have space to place the notes window out of the presentation window.
    I all ready try extended...but i dont want this...because with this option the only way to see the projector window is looking to the projection area...that is behind me...
    Need a solution... so far.. i am using the iPAD with Evernote to have my notes... while i work in the window...but i need the window in my computer for copy-paste operation etc...
    Thanks.

    Are there any updates on this issue? I'm currently seeing this on a Lumia 822 with WP8.1, and the app has never been published to the store. I've only ever deployed the app from Visual Studio to my device. It worked when deploying the Debug build, then I
    tried a Release build, and it crashed immediately upon launch when trying to register the background task, but then I was able to go back to deploying/debugging the Debug build on the device for awhile. I made more changes, and now neither Debug nor Release
    builds work--both fail on the BackgroundTaskBuilder.Register() call with the error described in the original question:
    "The drive cannot locate a specific area or track on the disk. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070019)"
    I've tried changing the Task name during registration, rev-ing the version number of the application, adding the call to BackgroundExecutionManager.RemoveAccess() before BackgroundExecutionManager.RequestAccessAsync(), changing the name of the IBackgroundTask
    concrete implementation and changing the corresponding EntryPoint in the package.appxmanifest (as well as in the BackgroundTaskBuilder instance), and changing the package DisplayName to a new reserved name, all to no avail. The only thing I didn't try
    was associating with an entirely new app in the app store or paving my phone, as these are both fairly undesirable "workarounds."
    Even if this won't affect clients downloading the app from the store, this is a major roadblock during development, as we can essentially only use the emulator to test an app specifically designed to help solve problems involving moving around physically
    in the real world.
    Any more information would be greatly appreciated. If there's any information I can provide, please let me know.

  • URGENT NEED: Using Photoshop CC, is there a way to auto-center linked layers to a specific area on data merge?

    I'm looking for a way to auto-center a group of linked layers to a specific area after being data-merged in Photoshop CC. The text needs to be all left-justified within the area in question, so I'm looking for a way that once the merged data comes in, the layers automatically center themselves within the area.

    Yes.  For example do a select all or make a selection of the area.  Target the layer you want to align to that and use menu Layer>Align Layers to Selection>Location...
    Use this menu twice to align the layer(s) to one of the nine positions og a tick tack toe board are of the selection.
    Example center layer over center of the canvas
    Select All
    target top layer
    Layer>Align Layers to Selection>Vertical center...
    Layer>Align Layers to Selection>Horizontal center...
    If you select a group of layers that are linked I would expect the group's  layers center would be over the center of the canvas.  However I have not mad that test it would be easy to test try it. You may even only need to select the layer you want over the center all the linked layers should move with the one being aligned.
    But I do not know what you mean by a data merge. Do you mean merge down or merge layers.
