Is there a script to change black and white graphics to a color?

I have a folder of black and white graphics.  I want to change them all to a color quickly without having to open each one and change the color, preferably in a new folder.   Is this possible?

Good day!
Please check out the chapter "Automation" in the Reference.
If the task can be recorded as a plain Action it can be applied to multiple Files for example via File > Automate > Batch or File > Scripts > Image Processor.

  • After turning an image black and white, how can I color in a certain area?

    After turning an image black and white, how can I color in a certain area?

    How did you change it? Did you make your B&W on a separate layer? If so, just erase the part of the layer you don't want, or add a layer mask and paint with black over the parts you want to hide.
    If not, then you can copy/paste the original photo (you will need to press ctrl+A/cmd+A to select all before you can copy) into the new image. From there it depends on the relative proportions of B&W. Arrange the two layers so the one with the most area that you want to keep is on top, and either mask out the rest or just erase it away.
    For future reference, an easier way to do this when starting from scratch is to use the smart brush. Choose a black and white conversion style, turn on the inverse checkbox and paint over the part you want in color. The rest of the photo turns black and white, leaving what you paint over in the original colors.

  • Making pictures that are black and white but still have color someplace(s)

    Is there a way in aperture to make pictures black and white but still leave color on some objects. for example, having a picture of someone holding a glass of red wine and having everything except the wine black and white?

    A couple of ways this can be done
    - non destructively:
    Use the Color adjustment to reduce the saturation of all the colors you dont want,
    and leave only the saturation of the saturation of the color you do want.
    Use the Ranges to more selectively choose the right color you want to leave.
    - destructively:
    Use the Dodge&Burn plug-in from Apple.
    Set the brush to Desaturate, choose its strength and size appropriately.
    Then just desaturate all the area's that need to be desaturated.

  • HP 8500 All-in-one printer - how can I print in black and white only (to save color ink)?

    I want to be able to select the option of printing in black and white only to save color ink.  How can I do that?

    What operating system? You can generally find an option for "Print in grayscale" and "Black ink only" in the Color or Advanced tab of the Printer Settings.
    Some color ink will still be used to keep the printheads from clogging, see here for information.  (The Officejet 8500 is an IIC printer in the vocabulary of that page.)

  • Mask gradiant black and white no matter what color is chosen

    My mask gradiant is black and white not matter what color I choose. How do I fix that?

    You may wonder about that from now on until:
    1.  When someone expresses difficulty understanding you, describe just what you mean, using different terms.
    2.  Use whole paragraphs.  Maybe even more than one.  This isn't instant messaging.
    Your phrase "mask gradiant" (assuming one reads through the misspelling) could mean many things.  You haven't provided enough context to know what you really mean.
    If I put a gradient into a mask it may be because I want the image on a layer to fade away, revealing what's underneath.  The gradient can only be grayscale (black, gray, or white) - it cannot be colored.
    I can't imagine why you would want to color a mask.  It makes no sense.  What are you really trying to accomplish?  Did someone tell you that you could do this?
    Perhaps you're using the terms "mask" or "gradient" incorrectly, or for something that is really called something else.
    Help us help you out here.

  • My black and white pictures show up colored

    My photos aren't the same as the filter I used in the camera when I was taking the picture, for example my black and white photos show up colored.

    Have you checked your ink levels and the inkjet jets for plugging?

  • My black and white printing has a color tint to it. How do I change this?

    It seems like whenever I print anything that is supposed to be just black and white, such as a word document, the black is not a true black--it has a colored tint. I originally thought this was a printer issue and contacted tech support for the printer, but they identified it as a computer issue once we hooked up multiple printers to the iMac and the same thing kept happening. There is no setting I can find in the computer to change this because I don't know what its called. Any help would be appreciated!

    I had the canon mp180. I have the HP psc 1209 now.  I haven't seen this problem with 10.4.11.
    Curiously, I heard of this problem with some Ubuntu drivers. Turned you their conversion program GhostPrint could only convert to either black or color. The color convert resulted in grey black. It was with an HP printer.  Ubuntu & Mac OS X share some of the same print technology.
    I see you have iMac, Mac OS X (10.4.9).  I suggest you upgrade to 10.4.11.  Pick one of the combo updates referenced on this page:

    Regardless of the print problem, you should upgrade. Do you have wireless, if so you will need to reconfigure.

  • Is there anyway to AirPrint in black and white only?

    is there anyway to only print in black and white when airprinting from ipad or iphone?  when my mom airprints websites, it causes my color ink cartridges to go almost empty.  if not, maybe apple should think about creating this option like they have for their macs.

  • Edit view changes black and white photos to "negative" effec

    I'm having a strange problem with certain black and white photos. In thumbnails, they look fine. But when I view them in Edit mode, or double click one to see the detail, it switches over so that it looks like a negative.
    Anyone have any idea what the cause of this is, and how to fix it?
    Thanks much,
    S

    You can't take black and white photos with a digital camera. They all have an RGB sensor, so they all shoot full colour. What happens is that your camera tags the photo with a label > show me in B%W. iPhoto doesn't know about this label, so it shows you the image as it is.
    Going forward, you'll probably be able to render better versions of B&W on your computer than with your camera. You'll have more control.

  • Can I print in black and white with an empty color cartridge on a HP Officejet Pro 8100 printer ?

    Only the cyan cartridge is empty, all of the other 3 cartridges are fine. I ordered the cyan cartridge online but I need to print important documents today. The power button is blinking when I try to print.
    I don't understand, black and white should not use a color cartridge to print.
    Is there a trick so I can print before receiving the cyan cartridge ?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    The Officejet Pro 8100 ePrinter has the same print mechanism as its All-in-One counterpart the Officejet Pro 8600.  This printer has a printhead mechanism that contains 4 individual cartridges: CMYK (cyan/magenta/yellow/black).  
    One will have to replace the cartridge, if the unit provides a message of one of the colors being empty, before the unit will resume printing.  It is a maintenance mechanism to prevent the product from self-damage.  Hope this helps.

  • OSX Print in Black and White on an HP Color printer?

    I have an HP8500 Color printer connected to OSX 10.8.3 through a JetDirect port. The OSX Driver for the HP8500 does not have the option to print in color or B&W that the windows driver has. As a consequence, even when printing in B&W from a PPT deck, the driver prints using all four color toners to produce a black and white output that looks like it has a hint of purple in it. Is there a different driver I could use that has the option to select black or color output? As it is I'm buring through very expensive color toner for balck and white docs.

  • Why do my PRO-100 black and white prints have a color tint?

    I am printing on the PIXMA Pro-100 printer and sometimes, for no apparent reason (?), my black and white prints will have a color tint (usually a "redish brown"), and then when printing again... same print, same settings... the same print will be fine, neutral with no tint at all.
    Any ideas why?
    Also (maybe related?) I don't understand why the Photo-Cyan and Magenta ink cartridges are being depleted when I am NOT printing color, but only Black and White.  Am I missing something?  When setting up for printing I always make sure the "Black and White Print" feature is selected in the settings dialog "Quick Setup".  Doesn't this insure that only the black and grey inks are used as long as I am not "toning"?  In other words... if ONLY the black and grey inks are used, isn't the print supposed to be a neutral black and white print? Again... am I missing something?
    FYI:
    I am printing on Canon Pro Luster and Plus Semi-Gloss papers.
    Under "Options - Color Management" I have selected:
    (color handling) Photoshop Elements Manages Colors
    (image space) Adobe RGB (1998)
    (printer profile) Canon PRO-100 <LU> 1/2 Photo Paper Pro Luster
    (rendering intent) Perceptual

    Go to Solution.

    It looks like you have the settings pretty close.  But the fact is all printers use all their cartridges to print B&W.
     Whoa, why?
    Yes it is true and the reason is this.  B&W consists of 256 shades of gray. From totaly black which is 0 to white which is 256.
    If you have just one, two or three cartridges to make 256 different blacks and grays all the way to white, it simply isn't possibile.
    The ony thing a printer can do is, amount of ink and how long.  So it makes up for this by using all it's cartridges.  However, in Canon it seems like the Pro-100 tints show up more than it should.  There are dedicated B&W printers but they are designed differently to accomplish true B&W.
    The tint will be different on different papers.  You can experiment to find the paper that does best for you.  Try a more gloss type paper and see if you like the B&W.  You can try Red River papers, too.  They will assist you in picking a good B&W paper.
    You can also experiment with filters in PSE.  Adding a little blue may help.  Just give it a try.
    But the bottom line is you are no doing anything wrong.  It is just the charchter of the beast.
