In the Color picker, the selection in the color palette is different than preview.

Working in Illustrator CS5 on a Mac. When choosing a color in the palette, the preview showing up is different than what is in the palette. If I hit "OK" the actual color chosen is the one in the palette, not the preview window... Including some pics for reference.
In my 10+ years of using Illustrator, i have never seen this.
I am using a Dell monitor on a mac... not sure if that would make a difference.

The new/old color preview box is not color managed and thus not reliable. I think that's the way it has always been. It will be the same as the selected color if you assign to your document the color space of your monitor using Edit > Assign Profile. People without a custom monitor color profile by default will not encounter this problem - they always see the colors wrong but consistent. Once you have a custom made monitor color profile you will see a difference between the same color in color managed and non-color managed software and sometimes parts of the same program like Illustrator can be color and non-color managed.

What is the keyboard shortcut to select all the white in a layer

What is the keyboard shortcut to select all the white in a layer, I'm on windows and use to do it all the time but forgot!

Do you mean ctrl-clicking the Composite Channel icon in the Channels Panel?

Is there a plugin that can copy the coordinates of a selection to the clipboard?

Is there a plugin in existance, that I can make a selection in Photoshop and then copy the coordinates of that selection to the clipboard?
I am a texture artist and frequently lay a number of graphics out in one file, before typing out the coordinates for each element. Currently this is a slow manual task, but could be made so much faster if I didn't have to type everything out.
Thanks,
Matt

I have to admit to not fully understanding your work flow, but to the extent I do Here is what I suggest:
I would open your image and create a new action and start recording. I would then create the rectangular selections in sequence and stop recording when you are done. Then I would save the action as a text file. The resulting text file for a test image, having created three different rectangular selections, looks like this:
Action: Action 1
        Set Selection
            To: rectangle
            Top: 0.451 Inches
            Left: 0.917 Inches
            Bottom: 0.559 Inches
            Right: 1.017 Inches
        Set Selection
            To: rectangle
            Top: 0.767 Inches
            Left: 0.892 Inches
            Bottom: 0.868 Inches
            Right: 0.986 Inches
        Set Selection
            To: rectangle
            Top: 1.108 Inches
            Left: 0.885 Inches
            Bottom: 1.201 Inches
            Right: 0.986 Inches
You can use this for the rest of your process.
To make things easier you should clear all actions before creating your new action or the text file will contain all of the active actions and you would have to hunt for the new action in the text file.
Hope this helps.

Is it possible to make is so that, immediately after I import a new clip into FCP, the file is automatically selected in the Event Library? (Similar to how After Effects and Premiere work).

Is it possible to make is so that, immediately after I import a new clip into FCPX, the file is automatically selected in the Event Library? (Similar to how After Effects and Premiere work). Right now, after I import a new file, I have to then go searching for it amid all the other files in my project. It would be extremely helpful if the file I just imported was already highlighted and selected after import, making it instantly "locatable" and ready to go.

in a perfect world, you do know the recording date, and you simply scroll to that date.
in a very perfect world, all your other imports are already tagged, so just have to create a smart list 'unrated' ...
(I know those messy Events… a friend of mine constantly ignores my advice to check the time/date on his camera; on every battery swap, the cam creates a very erratic timestamp ... his actual recordings are listed as made in "2004" or in "2020" .... )

I have recently started having this problem in PSE8. The Adobe workaround
did work, but I don't fancy having to re register each time I use it.
What I have discovered is that it's nothing to do with the image metadata as it occurs before any image is opened.
It SEEMS to only occur if you use file/open with to open an image in the editor - IE start PSE with that command.
If you close elements down, and start it using programs/PSE/Elements (or your desktop shortcut) - the panorama feature magically works.
Each time I've opened the editor 'automatically' using image/open with, it seems to create the problem.
Hope this helps

The colour picker is selecting the background colour instead of the foreground colour.

You know how when you're painting, you can hold ALT and it will pick a colour from the canvas? Well, for some reason, mine still picks up the colour but it sets it to the background colour instead of the foreground colour. And when I actually select the colour picker tool, it will only select the background colour but when I hold Alt, it selects the foreground colour. Basically it's flipped where it's supposed to select. Do you know how to flip it back? It's driving me mad. Thanks.

In the Color Palette (Window>Color) click on the foreground swatch. A "focus ring" will appear around it.

Color Picker won't change the color properly?

Hi guys,
I have a weird issue with the color. When I changed the color from dark green to bright lime green on Color Picker. The Color Picker show the specific color I want and then I click "OK". It did not change the dark green to bright lime green... instead it show the dull green color. It is really bugging me because I can't figured it what wrong with it. I checked the Color Mode (RGB mode) and Color Setting... everything seems to be right to me.
Here is the quick screenshot:
I also tested with other color, it still have the same problem. They won't show the bright color, it show the dull color instead.
I hope you guys can help me out!
Thanks,
Christie

OK, a few more thought on this.
Here's what I did and everyone can check for themselves. I made a screen capture of the Color picker and paste it in a RGB and also a CMYK document as shown on the images below. In the CMYK document this converts the RGB color values of the screen capture into the CMYK color space of the document and the colors in the palette are displayed within the document's gamut. If you take the eyedropper and click on any color of the palette on the image you will never get out of gamut colors and this is how they should be displayed in the real Color Picker. The Color picker can still display in a little box out of gamut color if they are selected numerically using the RGB or HSB models but the point is that the display of the palette should be converted to a CMYK color space.
In the RGB document on the second image, like in the real picker, clicking on the palette with the eyedropper will give a lot of out of gamut colors.
Now thinking about out of gamut colors. Illustrator decides what is out of gamut colors by comparing the color space of a CMYK document to the working RGB color space set in the Color Settings and for an RGB document to the working CMYK space in the Color Settings. But this is not practical all the time because it is one way only from RGB to CMYK and can not be set from CMYK to RGB, RGB to RGB, and CMYK to CMYK.
CMYK to RGB example: you may have a document with U.S Web Coated (SWOP) v2 color space and one of its destinations is an sRGB color space. Because you can't set CMYK to RGB for out of gamut consideration, Illustrator will consider out of gamut all sRGB colors that are outside the U.S Web Coated (SWOP) v2 color space. But in this case your destination is sRGB and all colors from the sRGB color space should be presented in gamut and there is actually a small part of the U.S Web Coated (SWOP) v2 colors that are outside of the sRGB color space and only these colors should be shown as out of gamut.
RGB to RGB example: your document is set in Adobe RGB color space because it will be eventually printed to several RGB printers some of which may have narrower gamut than the document. Then you want to set Illustrator to display out of gamut only the colors in the Adobe RGB color space that the RGB printer can't print, but unfortunately this is not possible even if you have the color profile of the printer.
CMYK to CMYK example: you may have a document with U.S Web Coated (SWOP) v2 color space but one of its destinations is U.S Web Uncoated v2, or US Newsprint, again not possible.
So, in all these examples, the out of gamut colors Illustrator gives in the Color picker and panel are completely useless. Of course the major tool for these tasks remains the soft proofing which is working properly but why not make the out of gamut colors in the Color picker and panel work better and make more sense.

How to determine if the Date Picker was selected?

I have a tabular form with columns of date type that are displayed as APEX Date Picker.
A user can enter the date two different ways; 1. Enter date by clicking in the field and type it manually. 2. Click on the calendar icon next to the field and select a date.
The entered dates are validated, and if invalid, should be replaced with the existing date.
This works fine for case 1 when a user enters the date manually using the following code in the Element Attributes.
onFocus="savedData=this.value;" onChange="if( isDate3(this.value)==false){this.value=savedData}" The existing data is saved in the savedData field using the onFocus event and then used to replace the this.value if the validation fails.
But, for case 2, I get an error indicating that the savedData is undefined, which is true. This is because the user does not click into the field and triggering the onFocus event. Instead, the user clicks on the calendar icon next to the field that opens a calendar pop-up. For this case, if a user selects a date in the future, an alert is raised, and the date needs to be replaced with the existing date.
So the question is, is there a way to trigger an event to save the existing value if the user clicks the calendar icon next to the date field to populate the date?
Thanks,
DPATEL

How to get the value of multi-select in the Dashboard Prompt

I have a multi-select prompt in the Dashboard Prompt, what I want is, how do I know that user has choose one value,
for examle, for some reasons, if user didn't choose any value, then I will set one column in answer as "customer office" , if user choose one value, then the column in answer will be "customer name".
any comments, thanks.

Hi,
first define the presentation variable for the required column prompt. ex: PV
Then in report level set the filter for that column = @{PV}{customer office}. here u have to give default value as "customer office", so by default the report in dashboard will show customer office even though the user does not select any value from dashboard prompt.
Mark If Helpful/correct.
Thanks.

Changing the report displayed on the basis of value selected frm the prompt

Hi,
I have requirement in which there is dashboard prompt which has three columns namely year, month and report name.
The user will select the report name from the prompt, once done the report that has been selected should show up
on the dashboard page and he should be able to select data on the basis of month and year from it.
Also, if the user wants to go to the other report he should be able to select it from the prompt and view it.
Pls shed some light on how to progress about it. As of now think if something like this is possible then it would definitley
need two prompts one for report name and the other for month and year.
Thx :)

Hi Kishore,
When i click on the link given by you it takes me to a page where a link is given with text as under

What happened to the ability to hide the "marching ants" (CTRL/CMD H) in Photoshop? I cannot view the edges of my selection with the marching ants in the way!

I have been using Photoshop since version 2.5 when it came on 16 floppy disks. In all of the versions I've purchased over the years (many) up to CS3, I have always been able to use CTRL+H (Windows) or CMD+H (Mac) to hide the "marching ants" selection outline. This is immensely useful when making all sorts of adjustments where the edge of the selection must be viewed while "fiddling with the knobs" (so to speak). Without being able to hide the selection boundaries ("marching ants"), I often have to make a best guess, undo the selection, get bummed that the edge isn't what I want, then have to undo, reselect, try again... over and over. This is such a SIMPLE feature, but the lack of it is driving me crazy. I searched HELP, but it didn't live up to the promise. If there is a way to hide the marching ants, where is the menu item, and what is the shortcut?

You can assign Ctrl/Cmd H to hide Selection Edges (Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts) only, if you don't want to hide everything, but you will be warned if some other function has the shortcut.

Using ExcelExport without opening the dialog box to select all the channels in portal by default

Hi,
I need to export all the data in the Data portal to an Excel file without opening the Dialog for channels selection. In the ExcelExport command, it asks for a Config (*.stp) file as one of the parameters. Is there need to create a new stp file for selecting all channels or can the same file (Example_ASC.stp ) be reused ? If so, do I need to change any content in the system stp file ?
Thanks

HT1551 the apple tv seems to be on and is plugged into the tv with an hdmi cable and the hdmi port is selected, but the tv is flashing that this is "not supported mode" even though this samsung tv has two hdmi ports

I have my new apple tv connected to my tv with an hdmi cable, but nothing appearing on the screen. any suggestions?

I just fixed mine by following the steps in this article http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/archives/aug14/080814.html
Basically, turn off file sharing, remote sharing etc... in apple preferences and it worked. Apple support didnt help and told me to take back the device ! I initially restarted, rebooted,reset apple tv, updated, unplugged everything including the router- unchecking the sharing boxes in preferences is the only thing that worked.

In the Color picker, the selection in the color palette is different than preview.
