Is There A Color Layer?

I am currently waiting for delivery of an android tablet and intend to buy Photoshop Touch for tablet. However I am unable to ascertain whether there is a color layer. I would normally create an initial image that is monochrome to develop the tonal relationships. Then I would normally open a color layer at the top and paint in the colors on the color layer in order to keep the tones consistant. You may want to look at the Bobby Chiu Tutorial on YouTube to see what I mean. Is there a color layer? If there isn't then is it possible to achieve the same result in another way.

You could create an empty layer located on top of the B&W one and simply paint on it.
Thanks!

Action written in CS4 won't run correctly in Elements 11 - specif. the "selective color" layer

I created an action using Adobe Photoshop CS4, and it runs correctly in CS4. When I save and load the action into Elements 11, there is a problem with the selective color layer. The selective color layer shows up in the layer stack along with the expected message that it can't be edited b/c it was created in the full version of Photoshop. However, the layer itself does not have any color/changes in it.
In Photoshop, the selective color layer makes the photo look pink. When I run the action in Elements11,the selective color layer does absolutely nothing to the photo. I do have the eye turned "on" to view the layer, and it's set at the correct blending options & opacity (normal, 100%).
If I run the action in Photoshop, save the file with all the action-created layers, and reopen the file in Elements 11, THEN the selective color layer shows its correct pink color. But when I run the action as a stand-alone action in Elements11, it does not.
Can anyone offer help as to why this is happening? Is there something special I need to do to make the action work correctly in Elements 11? My understanding was that it should RUN and create the layers correctly, although some of them will not be editable in Elements11. However, as it stands, it is not creating them with the correct color.
Thanks in advance for your help!

You probaly need to record the action in a little different way in photoshop cs4 to get the selective color adjustment layer to work.
Try something like this:
1. In photoshop cs4 add an selective color adjustment layer, but don't do any adjustments and stop recording the action.
2. Undo the selective color adjustment layer and then double click on on the selective color adjustment layer step in the actions panel
and when the dialog opens set your adjustments and click ok.
Now it should work in pse 11:

Selecting color layer should select its mask

In older versions of Photoshop (at least until CS3), clicking on a solid color, gradient or pattern layer in the layer palette selected its mask. In CS5, it doesn't select the mask anymore.
This is inconsistent with the adjustment layer behavior, where the mask is automatically selected, and does not make sense since there is no "image" area that can be edited like normal layers.
It's a little thing but you can't believe how many time I got the "this layer must be rasterized" dialog box since moving to CS5.

OK. I see your point about the eyedropper. I guess I'll have to aim better.
The double border should appear around the Fill layer icon to indicate that it is selected. That would make it consistent with normal layers.
Personally, I would prefer if, when you click on the layer name in the Layers panel, the option that was previously selected for that layer would be selected again (layer color, layer mask or vector mask). If you want to change it, click on the appropriate icon.
On a related note, is there a way to add a vector mask without first adding a layer mask?

I have HP Deskjet 3510 connected wireless - problem is that it wants to print only black and white - is there a color button I am missing? The print quality report is fine in color etc.

I have a HP Deskjet 3510 and it wants to print only in black and white.
The Print Quality Report is fine and in color.
Is there a color button I am missing?

In the Print & Scan system preferences, does it indicate it is using a generic printer driver or a Gutenprint driver?
Also, if you click on Options & Supplies, you might want to check and see if has to be enabled. That kind of sounds odd though.
Another thing is it might not be showing. If the bottom of the print dialog has a button that says "Show Details," click it. Then, you can change settings in the popup menu.

What is the purpose of the chain (lock symbol) between a solid color layer and its vector mask?

What is the purpose of the chain (lock symbol) between a solid color layer and its vector mask in the layer panel when creating shape layers with a shape tool? I'm just curious when locking or unlocking the solid color layer and its vector mask can make a difference.

I don't understand what you said and your shape layer looks different then mine using CS5.
When the chain is deselected, I can't do anything with the move tool on the shape layer. This is the only difference I can find. Making the solid color uniform or not doesn't change anything.
Your example shows that you moved the position of the solid color, how did you do that? I can create a solid color layer and change its uniform look by applying an effect like gradient but I can't move the solid color itself around. How is this possible?

How to create a selection or mask from a Selective Color layer

Hi. I was wondering if it is possible to get a selection/mask out of a Selective Color Layer.
For instance lets say I have a complicated photo and I put a Selective Color layer on. I then pick Red and start adjusting. I can see the effect and how it changes the red and how it falls off in the photo. Is it at all possible to create a selection or a mask based off of that effect?
Thank you

You can try this. Once you get your selective color adjustment layer the way you like it, change it's blending mode to difference. Add a B&W adjustment layer above that then a curves or levels adjustment layer above that. Use the curves or levels adjustment layer to give the image more contrast by adjusting the top white values. This will produce an image that you can then make a selection from from the channel pallet.

How can I set the default print settings of my document as color. I want the default print setting to be color when someone opens a document. similar to duplex print preset is there a color print preset?

How can I set the default print settings of my document as color. I want the default print setting to be color when someone opens a document. similar to duplex print preset is there a color print preset?

Hi,
Try saving your settings as a Preset by clicking the Preset drop down and then select Save Current Settings as a Preset.
Next try changing the settings by selecting the saved preset.
That allow saving the settings for a specific printer, I assume it may also allow selecting these settings for another printer.

IMPOSSIBLE TO SELECT SPOT COLOR LAYER AS I DID WITH CS2

Hello, I'm a french user (sorry for my english). I'm used to proceed with jobs that are using PSD files with spot colors layers. With AI CS2,
a PSD file with spot color layer I was able to select each layer to change its color, its transparency or its order. With CS4, all spot channels are embedded in a single layer. It's really a problem for me. May somebody help me. Thank you. Pierre-Yves

Yes, in CS4 it is all one layer in CS 5 it is on different layers if they are spot channels.
This is CS 5 so you have to either go back or upgrade to CS 5 if this is an issue.

Are there any Color Adjustments for Safari? Printing with Magenta overlays.

Are there any Color Adjustments for Safari? When printing the iphone at www.apple.com/iphone/compare-iphones/ the phones have a Magenta Overlay on them. Tried Firefox and Chrome with same computer, plus a PC to the same printer. All else prints fine. Have Intel based iMac, updated to 10.7.5, and using Safari 6.0.1. I called Canon, and they said it is an issue with Safari. Any Solutions? Any way of replacing Safari? (Recently updated to Lion via software downloads. No disc.)

Welcome to Apple....
Kumusta Ka? Ma init pa dyan?
If you're browsing the web and you're internet connection is slow or sometimes dropping, it is normal for Safari to hang or freeze for a little bit until it connects to the site you're trying to view or visit.
Try this - go to system preferences - network - advance - dns and change your dns server.

Is there a color range function in PSE

I have used photoshop CS4 and been comfortable using the color range function. I have tested PSE which I am thinking of buying as it is more affordable, however could not find the color range. Is there a similar function or is it got a different name in PSE? I mainly use this for jewellery and to change backgrounds.
Thnaks for your time and feedback.

I want to add a layer to my photo, but I do not want a color layer

So I want to Photoshop my friends face onto a bird body (for a joke) but I am not sure how to add that layer. I do not want a color background layer. In the layers instruction video, the narrator has multiple layers that are photos, why cant I do that? Every time I think I am doing it right, it just creates a new image/document thing that I am not even sure what it is. Help!

Is there a Color-coding Convention for ICONs in LabView?

Some times I am puzzled with 16Million color to code my subvi's ICONs. I wonder if there is a Color-coding convention that I could use to specify the right color for my subvi's. If someone has figured out a way to do that please let me know.

Somewhere along the line I ran across a standards document that did suggest different colors for different type of functions. I found this to suitable for very basic applications but in more complicated applications the color coding does not quite cut it. An example would be a system where you are integrating a half dozen type of devices. Using the same background color for all of the I/O icons will quickly render your hiarchy window rather useless!
The next issue with the color schem to represent functionality you run into is the higher level VI that do a little of this and a little of that. The standard then suggests using border colors to represent functionality. This becomes a problem in one of two ways. On large screens (like those typically used by LV developers) the adjacent colors of a border are percieved as a mixute of the two border colors. The fix to this would be to use wider borders. This inevitably lead to all of the high level VI all looking like they were dveloped by someone on LSD who was into the time tunnel effect!
I will generally encourage developers to take the time to put together a meaningful icon. LV will let you drop cut and pated BMP's into the icon editor. IF there is an logo or a picture of an instrument avaliable somewhere, I grab it and use it fot the icon. This approach makes it possilbe for other developers to take a quick look at teh hiarchy and be able to narrow things down quick to the sub-VI associated with that image.
I also encorage tehm to get used to composing their own icons. The icon editor may not be slickest tool in the world but the icons on the diagram end up being small enough that you do not need to be an artist to get the idea across. Durring my last project I wanted to use a scroll icon for all log related functions. I was curious if I could put one together fast. Start to finish to took less than three minutes. Three minutes of effort is well worth it when your are looking at a hiarchy with 500+ VI's!
Too illustrate let me relate an experience. My wife (a non-wireworker) looked at a icon I just dropped on my diagram that had a crude cartoon face with the word "NEW" above it. She said "New User?". I flet I had accomplished my task.
Encouraging art in LV,
