Image Mode Bitmap is grayed out?

I'm going through an online tutorial and they are asking me to bitmap the image, but when I go to Image > Mode > Bitmap, bitmap is grayed out.
Using CS3, jpg image, layer is unlocked (not background)

Ah... grayscale. That must've been it. The tutorial was on PSDTUTS.com

I've been using LR with my Nikon D3200 for a year or so. Shooting in RAW/NEF no issues with import etc until I updated LR and now I can't get LR to allow me to select when I try to import. It does show the images but they're grayed out and not able to be

I've been using LR with my Nikon D3200 for a year or so. Shooting in RAW/NEF no issues with import etc until I updated LR and now I can't get LR to allow me to select when I try to import. It does show the images but they're grayed out and not able to be selected. Any thoughts? TIA

Greyed imaged in the Import dialog box mean you have already imported the photos into Lightroom, so there is no need and no benefit to importing them a second time.
Just go to the Library module, search for the desired photos, and resume working on these photos.

Nothing to do with professional or not, but I do hope you know where your computer's power switch is. System information can be obtained this way:

Furthermore we need info where you store your files, what format they are in, where they came from, what you did the last time this worked, if possible...

Why is the preview or scan images as separate files grayed out? When it was working just fine before

I have windows 8...I have been using this scanner for about a month. My scan/fax/printer is a Brother MFC-8910DW. This is what brothers website says regarding this make and model. "Scan multi-page documents using the 50-page capacity auto document
feeder or use the legal-size document glass for bound materials." For the Full month it has been scanning multiple pages using Microsoft scan a document or picture. I tried to scan this morning and it will now only let me scan ONE page at a time.(( I
have to scan over 800 pages!!) On the lower left corner there is a box I was able to click previously it says preview or scan images as separate files. It is now grayed out and I am unable to select it. I know for a fact it has nothing to do with my printer
because I use it for a month and it worked beautifully. Please could someone help with this issue?

Hi,
For this issue, I would suggest you update to the latest printer driver, if you have any other related printer\scanner programs installed, please make sure that you have the latest version or reinstall as a test.
It's recommended to contact the manufacture for members there are more familiar with this product

How do I backup my MacBook Pro when the disk image is grayed out?

I have a MacBook Pro (15 inc. four years old) running OSX 10.6.8 and last night I got the color pinwheel of death. I could not force quit anything and had to manually power down.
When I powered back up I got the folder with the question mark. I ran Disk Utility and tried to Repair Disk, but I got:
Disk Utility stopped repairing "diskOs2"
...Back up as many of your files as possible
Details: Invalid B-tree node size
The volume could not be verified completely
Volume repair complete
Error: Disk Utility can't repair this disk, Back up... at the disk, and restore your backed-up files
I hooked up an external hard drive and tried to make a copy of the disk image, but it is grayed out. I also tried to partition the main Hitachi drive and make a "New Image" but I got: "Unable to create backup (input/output error)
So I now have a Genius Bar appointment for tomorrow, but I can't even back up my computer before going. I can have them tell me what to do, but then I'll have to go home and do it, and then make a second appointment.
Any suggestions? Oh, and I backed up this computer about six weeks ago on Time Machine, but I'd love to make a copy of all new files I've created since then.
Thanks!

You have two options. Purchase Disk Warrior or erase the drive. The former would require your ability to install a download of DW on a bootable disk so you could repair your hard drive. And, DW costs $99.00. The latter requires a Snow Leopard installer DVD from which you can boot, erase the hard drive, then reinstall Snow Leopard. Then download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1. You can then restore from your Time Machine backup. There is no way now for you to backup files unless you can access the drive. Open Disk Utility, select the entry for your disk volume then click on the Mount icon in the toolbar. If your volume mounts on the Desktop then you may be able to copy files to an external drive or even run a Time Machine backup.

Import of "image sequence" grays out when you select multiple jpg in Premier CC

It worked jus fine untill a few days ago after the CC update. I even reset the number sequencing on my camera to try a test set of picture. no matter what I do the "image sequence" check box grays out as soon as i click on multiple jpgs.
any one ever have this occur?

As joe bloe says, select only a single image file to enable the Image Sequence checkbox. Once you select multiple files, then the importer is set to import as multiple single still images. FYI, you can also select any file (other than the frst), if you wish to import a shorter range of files (eg: select 0040 to import an image sequence of frame 40 and on)

Lightroom print mode and Color mode grayed out

Both print mode and color mode selections are grayed out not allowing me to select them. Help

I see you haven't gotten much input so far from the Mac experts...
As a Windows user without an Epson printer myself, I can't comment on why you might have color problems under the covers where the software doesn't seem to be following the chosen settings. However, perhaps I can get you thinking about how to further diagnose the problem...
The obvious thing I see is that you've chosen "Photoshop Manages Colors" in the main dialog, which implies your intent is to shut off color-management in the printer driver itself. So to me the graying out of those settings in this case seems to make sense.
Have you tried a test print using the "Printer Manages Colors" setting?
Also, to try to test whether color-management isn't being turned off in the printer (regardless of what the grayed-out settings show), do you see any improvement if you use "Photoshop Manages Colors" but choose a standard profile, such as sRGB IEC61966-2.1 for the Printer Profile setting?

Add (+) search criteria grayed out

When searching in a finder window, the normal ( +) button to add search criteria is disabled. I thought maybe I had a corrupt preference file, so I trashed all the .plist files that seemed to relate to the finder. Whe I restarted, the button was back, but only for a few minutes. After that, it went back to being disabled.
It looks like this attached image, with the button grayed out, and a ( - ) instead of a ( + ).
The problem is isolated to my primary user account. Others on the same machine are unaffected.
I looked over the discussion boards, and can't find anyone else with this problem, but maybe I don't know the right terminology. Any help would be appreciated.
What am I missing?

I narrowed it down further. This finder bug only appears when I use Command-N or click the Finder icon in the dock to create a new window.
If I double click any folder icon or drive on the desktop, the finder window that pops up has the ( + ) icon enabled, exactly as it should. What is going on?

Using photoshop elements 13 but the option to crop a single image is grayed out and also the option to crop a scanned image into individual pictures is grayed out - any ideas?

The option to crop an image is always grayed out or unavailable - both for single images and when I want to crop scanned images into individual pictures. Any idea what I may be doing wrong?

Did you try using the crop tool to see if it is working? See the tool I am talking about.
I suspect you are in Guided Mode rather than in Quick Mode or Expert Mode.

Help! FCS3-How do I reduce bitmap size if drop down edit item is grayed out?

I am in Flash CS3. I need to reduce a bunch (300) Bitmaps pixels dimensions from 1068 px to 270 px across (and proportional height) in library but the "edit with..." (external editor) drop down item is grayed out. I have tried everything, including looking for ways to export the Bitmaps to create new images and update library items. I am stumped! Thanks in advance—[email protected]

Hi,
One solution I can think of is to use your bean to set up more than just a Vector of values from the database. If you could instead create a vector of objects which contain a reference to the row as well as the data then you can use that to name the select control:
<select name=Choice_<%=vPQStatus.elementAt(i).getReference()%> >
<option value="S">Start
<option value="R">Restart
<option value="C">Complete
</select>
<%=vPQStatus.elementAt(i).getValue()%>
This would then require you to access all request parameters and search for those starting with "Choice_" you can then extract the reference from the name and the new selection from the value.
Hope this helps

Blending an image into a background - hue/saturation grayed out

Thanks for your help. I am trying to blend an image to a background as is illustrated in this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSehcaWFBVM
Rather than using the overlay tool, the lady in the video suggests using the ‘hue and saturation’ option to blend the photo with the background. I get all the way to this step, but then the ‘hue and saturation’ option (and pretty much all of the options under image – adjustments are grayed out. The ‘modes’ for both the background and the photo are the same (RGB and 8bit). I have been at this for hours (>4) and I cannot get past this step. I would be extremely grateful for some help as to how I might ‘free up’ the adjustment options and have this photo look similar to that showed in the video.
Thanks.

ISight camera image is grayed out

As of a couple weeks ago, the image from my MacBook Pro built-in iSight camera has been grayed out. The image can be seen, but barely - it's in monochrome with minimal contrast. It happens in multiple applications - have tested with Skype and Photo Booth. I followed the iSight troubleshooting steps, including resetting the SMC. Any assistance with further troubleshooting/fixing would be appreciated.

Yes EZ, per my first message I followed the iSight troubleshooting steps, including resetting the SMC. That didn't help. His recommendation of starting in safe mode, then restarting did help the first time, but the problem has recurred. I tried that fix again today, but it had no effect - the iSight image is barely visible, mostly grayed out.
If your problem is EXACTLY the same with EVERY Apple app you test in EVERY user account, I can suggest two options for your consideration:
(1) Contact your Apple Authorized Service Provider for service.
(2) Backup you data and reinstall your Mac's software to see if that corrects it.

Image choices grayed out

Just installed Photoshop elements 9 with Vista. Seems to work like Elements 6, except that I cannot
see more than one photo at a time - the images option is grayed out (in Full Edit as well as in the others)
, so I cannot cascade or tile - I do not see a preferences for this... thank you in advance

Here is an excerpt from Adobe help on the same:
View and arrange multiple windows
In Full Edit, do one of the following:
To display windows stacked and cascading from the upper left to the lower right of the screen, choose Window > Images > Cascade.
To display windows edge-to-edge, choose Window > Images > Tile. As you close images, the open windows are resized to fill the available space.
To view all open images at the same magnification as the active image, choose Window > Images > Match Zoom.
To view the same section (upper-left corner, center, lower-right corner, and so on) of all open photos, choose Window > Images > Match Location. The view in all windows shifts to match the active (frontmost) image. The zoom level does not change.
Note: The Window > Images options are enabled only when Allow Floating Documents In Full Edit Mode is selected in preferences.
Below is a screenshot of the Preference which needs to be checked on Editor:

After editing an image in Photoshop it appears grayed out inside the media browser

After editing an image in Photoshop it appears grayed out inside the media browser when I try to import into Facebook (ie.).
What has to be done in order for me to be able to select my edited images from Photoshop whithin any media browser?

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}

...save it as sRGB?
Would you care to comment on why there is an advantage to do this little extra job?
Perhaps you don't want to hear from me, I don't know.
I'll answer just this one little question. Try to get your mind around what color management does, I promise it does make sense (outside of unexplained problems on particular computers).
You want to save your web image with the sRGB profile embedded because some Internet browsers are color managed, and with an embedded profile it's more likely someone will see your image colors just as you intended.
The assumption is that a lowly windows user with a cheap monitor and Internet Explorer will be seeing any image you save as "roughly" sRGB anyway. Tagging the image with sRGB only affects those with color-managed browsers.
You're looking for the most possible consistency for the viewing audience.

"Approve" menu option grayed out when connected as ORCLADMIN in admin mode

Hi everybody!
When I connect to Content as ORCLADMIN and switch to administration mode, I cannot use the "Approve" option in the menu when I select a non-privilege user library creation pending request 'cause it's grayed out no matter what (also tried configuring another user to be a library administrator and receive requests for approval). I have OCS 10.1.2.0.
Why can't I approve requests for library creation? Would it be a bug or I need to configure or grant something else?
Thanks.
