Is it Possible to Save Custom Colors

Hello
I am interested in using some colors that are not part of any of the pre-loaded selections. Is it possible to create a color with the color wheel and then save it? I want to be able to use the same color on many parts of the site without having to recreate it every time.
Thanks for the help!

In the color window, click on the magnifying glass to the left of the color swatch box. Now click on your color and it will appear in the swatch box. Drag this color down to one of the little squares at the bottom of the window.
Every time you click on a little square, the color appears in the swatch box.
Note that clicking on the dot at the bottom of the color window and dragging down will expand the squares so that you can store over 100 custom colors.

It's possible to disable custom color from color picker?

Hi guys!
I've searched in the threads about color picker but I found anything about it...
It's possible to disable the option to select a custom color? I work in a enterprise who makes softwares to brazilian clients, and not everybody understands english phrases...
Another way it's to translate the option, but I don't know if is possible too.
Thanks!

You definitely need to add the stylesheet to the Scene, not to anything else. If you take my example and change
scene.getStylesheets()...
to
root.getStylesheets()...
you'll see that it won't work any more.
The difference between this and the css you used is that the css you used is applied to the display of the color picker button; you need to apply styles to the popup (the color palette), which is not contained in your VBox or AnchorPanes. Notice how the font has changed for the name of the color in the button, but it hasn't changed for the "Custom Color" label you are trying to remove.
Somewhere there is some code that is adding the VBox you are subclassing to a Scene, and setting that scene into a stage. Your best option (perhaps second best option, see below) is to find that code so you can add the stylesheet to the Scene itself.
If you're working within a framework someone else has written, and can't access or change the code where the scene is defined, you have another option that I can see. Every Node has a scene property that refers to the scene to which that node belongs. So you could observe changes to that property and when it's updated, add the stylesheet to the scene.
So here is a hack to make my original hack work, in the event that you cannot access the scene directly, for some reason:
final String suppressCustomColorCss = getClass().getResource( "noCustomColorPicker.css").toExternalForm();
colorPicker.sceneProperty().addListener(new ChangeListener<Scene>() {
@Override
public void changed(ObservableValue<? extends Scene> observable,
Scene oldScene, Scene newScene) {
if (newScene != null) {
List<String> cssClasses = newScene.getStylesheets();
if (!cssClasses.contains(suppressCustomColorCss)) {
cssClasses.add(suppressCustomColorCss);
This code basically says "when the color picker becomes part of a new scene, add the stylesheet to that scene".
At this point, you're applying hack on top of hack to get the effect you need. I think if I were in this situation I would just go ahead and define my own color picker. All you really need is a MenuButton, a property to hold the selected color, and a popup with a layout of controls to choose an arbitrary color. It would be a bit of work, but shouldn't be too hard. If you take this option (which I think may be your best bet), it's more work now but it will be clear what you are doing - when you (or other programmers on your team) come back to the code later you'll understand how it works much better.
You should also file a couple of feature requests. One for API to enable/disable the option to choose a custom color, as this seems like a reasonable piece of functionality to have. The other should be for properly internationalized text for the labels in the color picker, as these are currently just hard coded into the source code in English.

Can I save custom crop values?

Is it possible to save custom crops to ACR 2.1.1.9 ?
I have a client who needs event images cropped to 1056px x 594px to use in Intranet presentations displayed on large monitors in their hallways.
I use 10.56 x 5.94 in the custom crop in ACR to do this. But whenever I crop an image to another size (ones that might go in their newsletter) I lose the custom setting and have to re-enter again and again to 10.56 x 5.94.
I typically process a few hundred 'candidates' from their events (2-3 per month) and the image dimensions never change. Is there a way to add this custom crop value to the choices in the pull-down list?
Thanks
Russell

That seems a good suggestion for the future request.
Meantime I believe you can only do this in PSCS using the tool presets

Save custom properties to MDS

Hello all,
I was wondering if it was possible to save custom properties to MDS.
In my case I have a panelDashboard where the user can manually switch panels and add/close panels.
I keep track of the panels in a managed bean. Now, whenever a panel change occurs I would like to persist a list of panel ids to MDS.
Is it possible to programmatically read/write custom properties from/to MDS?
Using JDev 11.1.1.5
Thank you

Custom color palette in WAD charts

Hi BI Experts,
we are trying to create a custom color palette, which we want to apply to all your WAD charts.
Can anyone tell us how to do this?
Of course we can customize the colors in each chart, but that's a hell of a lot of work. Moreover, there doesn't seem to be any way to save the custom colors, but we have to recreate the colors with the color picker for every single chart.
The WAD chart wizard allows to choose between color palettes "Enjoy", "Streamline", "Tradeshow" and "User specific".
If it is not possible to create a custom color palette, can we modify one of these SAP color palettes? What does "User specific" mean?
Any help will be much appreciated (and of course rewarded with points).

Moin, bei dem Problem kann ich leider überhaupt nicht helfen. Solltest Du allerdings, wie ich annehme, in Göttingen studiert haben und dann ein paar Jahre in den USA gewesen sein, dann melde Dich doch einfach mal, so Du Lust hast.
Besten Gruß,
Andi

Custom color palettes

I'm looking for a way to store custom palettes within DW. I want to store and be able to call up a palette or list of custom colors for various sites. The OS color pickers are useless for this.
My company has specific hex/rgb values defined in our brand standards. I've created palettes for Photoshop & Illustrator and it's easy to load them and apply them to layers, objects, type, etc. I'd like to be able share them with Dreamweaver. If this isn't possible, then I'd like to create, store and share with other desingers.
I they can't be imported somehow from Photoshop/Illustrator, I want to be able to create and save them with custom names so I can easily call them up when I'm editing a CSS file. I've been trying to use the Assets panel but that's grayed out in the CSS file. If I use it in HTML it wants to create a new CSS declaration through a dialog which is not useful for me.
I could use Snippets instead I suppose. I've tried the Kuler extension which is quirky. It's fine for limited palettes of five colors but I need more.
I feel that either I'm missing something or this is a real gap in the Dreamweaver feature set. Any advice appreciated!

Thanks Jon. The OS color dialogs are OK for freely picking colors but I want to work with specific palettes and not have to type numbers into a dialog. What I'm doing at my day job is copy/pasting specific hex/rgb values from a brand-standards PDF reference doc. There are over 70 colors/tints so I spend a lot of time round-tripping. For other personal projects it's not so bad.
It's very frustrating that in 2013 that so many tools offer up the web-safe options by default. The web-safe concept never really worked anyway.
What I really want is to be able to establish a palette for a project at the outset and have easy access to the color values from within DW. Then, I want to be able to share palettes with other designers in the organiztion, particularly the junior members of my department. This is fairly easy in Photoshop and Illustrator but not apparently in DW.
It looks like you can associate Snippets to specific sites but each snippet is a separate xml file which is tedious to create. I've used Kuler for some projects but that has its limits.
The Assets panel looks promising since you can create sets of favorites, nest them in folders, copy them to other sites, etc. I can right-click colors in the panel and go through a dialog which adds new or redundant selectors to the bottom of my CSS file. The problem is that the panel is disabled whenever I'm in code view so I can't edit an existing selector and simply choose a color from my Assets.
I really do appreciate all the suggestions. I keep hoping I've overlooked something. I'll submit this to the wish list and reference this thread.

Save custom windows layouts?

It was possible to save various custom window layouts in legacy FCP and it still is in pretty well all other non-Apple editing apps but I can't find a way of doing it in FCP X.
Is it possible or is there a workaround?

No and no.
Really bugging. I'm using diff. 'windows layouts' for diff. tasks:
tagging imports asks for a wider Event browser and a small Previews, Color Correction doesn't need Events at all, but a huge Preview; etc etc etc.
A case of feedback:

I once tested to change the window arrangement.pref of FCPX by replacing the diff. prefs - no luck, didn't work.

Custom color profiles not showing as available in InDesign CC

This is a college graphic design lab environment with iMacs running 10.9.4 and the CC versions of Adobe programs
We have a variety of custom color profiles for our specific printers and media. They're located in a special folder and an alias of that folder is located in /Library/Colorsync/profiles. The profiles in that folder do not show up as available for selection in InDesign CC. They did before the upgrade to the CC version. They do show up in Photoshop CC, Lightroom 5 and Illustrator CC. Is this a known InDesign flaw? Any ideas for a fix... preferably one that doesn't involve moving the profiles?
Thanks
Bob Smith

I had the same issue when playing with my Xerox Phaser 6110 profiled with colormunki. All software except Aperture (3.0.3) recognized the profile (Color Sync, Print dialog, Preview soft-proffing, even LR 3b2). I too tried all possible locations and none worked.
Then I opened the profile in ColorSync, and edited (Profiles -> Xerox... -> Open ->'desc' tag) Ascii and unicode descriptions to read aaa.icc and did a Save As aaa.icc and there it was, available in Aperture, too.
To my great disappointment the soft-proof feature in Aperture seems to be broken for some monitor/printer profile combinations, and is compatibly broken for printing from Aperture. What happens is the resulting image is way too degraded, even beyond the (admittedly crappy) photo printing capabilities of this printer.
IOW printing the same JPG via Preview and/or soft-proofing with the printer's profile yields way more consistent results. Totally unacceptable for a €200 piece of software.

How to create a "Custom Color" for highlighting? (Acrobat XI)

March 10, 2014
How to create a "Custom Color" for highlighting? (Acrobat XI)
The numbers in the RGB and other fields change as various numbers are changed.
I wanted to create a pale orange:
Hue               13      Red      255
Saturation   240      Green 177
Luminosity    86       Blue     140
I'd selected one of the orange squares in the color grid, to display the general orange area of the slider.
I moved the slider to select a pale orange, which generated the above numbers.   Since this wasn't directly available to save to a Custom Color, I tried to edit the numbers. Unfortunately, the other numbers changed, making it impossible to actually create a color.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Note: I used Techsmith's Snagit to show screen shots in a Word document.
When I attempted to browse and upload the file, the error message said "[The content type of this image is not allowed.]"
OK...what images *are* allowed?

Hi Don,

How do I get a custom color profile into a PDF?

I have a client who provided a custom color profile for a CMYK file.
I worked on Photoshop CS5.1 images and made sure the profile is embedded.
I placed these Photoshop images into an Illustrator CS5.1 template and made sure the profile is embedded.
I need to create a hires PDF with the Press Quality settings from the Illustrator file.
I have been doing a Save As to PDF from Illustrator, which seems to work.
OK, that's when my troubles start.... When I go into Acrobat Pro X v10.0.0 nothing indicates my profile is there.
I even have the profile loaded into Acrobat.
The client seems to want the Paper Simulation to show their profile, but the profile does not even come up in the list when I look for it. It seems to default to RGB even though this is a CMYK file.
I messed this up once already, and I need to get it right this time.
The client is in Germany and they sound very angry when they don't get the proper files.
Help!

Custom Color Palette

I work with several sites that use very similar colors, which
I find myself using over and over again. How can I save a set of
custom colors to a palette and bring it up for use at a later
date?

Open the Swatches palette menu and select the Clear Swatches
option.
Click in the Fill color box on the tools panel and drag the
built in
color picker to a color you want to select for your custom
palette.
Once you click on the color, move the color picker over to
the swatches
panel, where it becomes a paint bucket cursor.
Click in the Swatches panel to add the selected color.
Repeat until you've built your entire custom palette.
Open the Swatches panel menu again and choose Save Swatches.
Name your palette and save it somewhere on your hard drive.

Custom Color Palette for Charts

Hi all,
Can I define the colors of a chart by a custom color palette in Design Studio (as you can do it in Web Intelligence) or does SAP intend to implement such a function in a next release? With CSS this isn't fully possible, because it doesn't allow you to coloring the additional line like the corresponding main line.
I've already seen and commented this post Re: Custom Color Palette for Charts / CSS, but it's still unanswered. Maybe I've with a new discussion more success.
Thank you and kind regards
Silvan

Carola,

Maintaining Custom Colors from FrameMaker to the PDF

I tried posting this question under the "Color Management" forum, but got a lot of questions asking what printer, paper, and other settings I'm using...not really what I'm looking for...
Here is my original post:
I am having problems with my company's custom logo colors appearing in the PDF correctly. I created two color definitions in FrameMaker 10 (using colors Pantone 485 CVC and Pantone 281 CVC). These colors are mostly used for diagram callouts. Instead of printing these colors that I added, the default red and blue colors appear in the PDF.
I recently upgraded to Distiller X and Acrobat Professional X, thinking that maybe the older versions just didn't support those colors, and I am still getting the same result. FrameMaker is using the CMYK model.
I have a feeling that I just need to adjust some settings, but I don't know whether to adjust Distiller, Acrobat, or FrameMaker. Anyone else have issues when trying to use their company's colors? Any ideas on what might work? I don't think the problem is my screen settings because when I compare the Frame file with the PDF, the difference is obvious.
Thanks in advance,
Smitty

What is your CMYK color space (e.g. some SWOP)?
How are you creating the PDF?
Save-as, print-to, or Distill from .ps
Distill has a separate issue.
What is the delivery flow?
Do you need color-matching at a print shop,
or just in the PDF?
How are the logo colors coming in?
If they are from CMYK EPS, for example, they should survive the Windows GDI experience.
If any of your custom colors are text (not graphics), that's a more involved problem.
The fundamental problems you're facing are:
1. Frame has no color management; never will.
2. Windows had no CMYK for years, and now has a destructive fake CMYK.
There are usually work-arounds, 3rd party in extreme cases.

Is possible to save a vector.pdf with smart object?

Hi PS masters
I am finishing a poster, fully created in shapes in illustrator. Due to customers request I was forced to do some color corrections so I decided to use my PhotoShop CS6.
I imported vector files into my photoshop as smart objects, added some adjustments layer, few vector masks and I changed their layer style to get the finest result.
When I finished my work in PS I tryed to save this as .pdf
In my .psd there are shape layers, some groups and some adjustments layers with layer masks and changed Layer style to "color", one text layer and 3 smart objects imported from illustrator.
I want to keep my image scaleable for bigger resolutions.
... So I was trying to save this file as Adobe PDF but I found that whole graphic in exported .pdf was converted to raster, besides the border, cut marks and that one text layer.
I think that this is becuase of smart objects. (saving as .pdf without them works pretty good)
Now finaly my question. Is somehow possible to save this document from photoshop as vector.pdf? or is possible to import group of shapes from illustrator to photoshop as shapes in photoshop? no as smart objects.
I am running out of time so I saved it as high res .Jpeg, but I want to know if this is somehow possible for future use or If I have to rather avoid that solution.
Thank you very much for your reactions
// I just thought if I can use InDesign for that. Will be included .pdf file as raster? or it will stay scaleable even with smart objects in it?

I am sorry but I don't have vector files right now (I'm on another PC), but I can show you "old" version of a poster, where you can see parts of their structure
