Is there a way of selecting one colour in an image?

I have a 4 colour image and I need to do alternative colourways.
Is there a quick way of selecting all of one colour so I don't have to select each area individually?
Thanks for helping, it will save me a lot of time!!

Another option is to do Image - Adjust - Hue/Saturation, choose the color from the list (e.g., "Reds"), then adjust Hue/Sat for just that color.
If you're knowledgeable about adjustment layers, it might be preferable to do this with a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer.
Once you have chosen a color category in the Hue/Saturation dialogs, you can click on the actual color in the image to fine tune the center of the range, and you can move the range ends to change the range the colors affected and how smooth the transition will be.

In tabular form, is there a way to select one row as the default row?

Hi, I have a tabular form which lists the many addresses that a fisherman may have. The query is: select default_addr_flag, addr1, addr2, city, state, zip from addresses where fisher_id = :PXX_fisher_id.
I would like to have them set the default_addr_flag = 'Y' for ONLY ONE record....so even if they have many addresses, one must be selected as the default for any correspondence.
Are there any examples, or does anyone have a suggestion. thank you!

Hi Karen,
I think first of all you should get yourself a browser and add-ons that allow you to inspect the HTML DOM elements. E.g. FF/Firebug/Error Console. Once you have the required tools you will be able to see for yourself what the DOM has, and then work out what you need to do.
Most members, including myself, at times post solutions without really trying them out as they appear to be "obvious" even when they are not.
Taking forward from the point where you have made the default address indication a "simple checkbox" from the Report Attributes tab, if you inspect the checkbox element you will find that it is somewhat more complex and Apex has created the elements with some JS code. E.g. this is a snippet from one of my application pages.
<td headers="IS_CUSTOMER">
<label class="hideMeButHearMe" for="f08_0001">Is Customer</label>
<input type="checkbox" onclick="if (this.checked) {apex.jQuery('#f08_0001').val('Y');} else {apex.jQuery('#f08_0001').val('');}" id="f08_0001_01" checked="checked" value="Y" name="f08_NOSUBMIT" autocomplete="off">
<input type="hidden" id="f08_0001" value="Y" name="f08" autocomplete="off">
</td>You will see that
a.Apex has created a onclick event trigger
b. If sets the value of Unchecked checkbox to null ("").
c. In my page the checkbox maps to f08, you need to see which item it maps to in your page.
d. The id of the rendered checkbox is id of hidden element + _01.
The consequence of this is that if you define a onclick trigger in the Element attributes it overrides and suppresses Apex from inserting its own JS code!
To be able to uncheck all checkboxes other than the one the user has currently checked you will need to do this:
i. In the Column's Element Attributes field write onclick="doDftAddr(this);"You could name the function the way you want it, this is an example.
ii.In the Page HTML Header write
<script type="text/javascript">
function doDftAddr(pThis) {
va = pThis.id.split("_");
var vb = va[0]+'_'+va[1];
if (pThis.checked) {
    vy = 'input:checked[id^="'+va[0]+'_"]'
    $("["+vy+"]").attr("checked",false);
    apex.jQuery("["+vy+"]").val('N');
    apex.jQuery('['+'input:hidden[id^="'+va[0]+'"_]'+']').val('N');
    apex.jQuery('#'+pThis.id).attr("checked",true);
    apex.jQuery('#'+pThis.id).val("Y");
    apex.jQuery('#'+vb).val('Y');
   } else {
    apex.jQuery('#'+vb).val('N');
</script>Cheers,

How do I select and email a whole lot of photos on my iPad from my iPad emails? It seems I have to go into Email and then insert one photo at a time? Isn't there a way to select all in the photos and then email the batch.?

How do I select and email a whole lot of photos on my iPad from my iPad emails? It seems I have to go into Email and then insert one photo at a time? Isn't there a way to select all in the photos and then email the batch.?

Actually, you can email up to 5 at a time from the Photos app. Select any more and the email share option will not appear.
If you explain why you need to email large numbers of photos, we might be able to offer an alternative.

Tap on the edit button at the top right of the email list. This will let you select the emails to delete, once all are selected, tap on the bottom right button that says delete to delete them all at once.

To select consecutive images click and drag the cursor over multiple thumbnails to select all at once.
To select multiple images that are randomly located hold down the Command(⌘) key and click on those images you want to select.
Or to select consecutive images from a list of images that are together hold down the Shift key and and click on the first photo you want to select and the on the last photo you want in the list.

HT2477 How do I select multiple images without clicking on each one? Is there a way to select duplicate photos to delete them?

How do I select multiple images without clicking on each one? Is there a way to select duplicate photos to delete them?

Consider adding the delete symbol to the Finder window tool bar. This way you can highlight all the photos you want to delete at the same time then hit the "delete" symbol.
Open a Finder window/View/Customize Toolbar - follow the directions in the customized pop down window.

You used the data. Verizon can not see what it was sued for. However your phone can see whats apps used the data. go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle. line the dates up with your cycle. then there will be a bar graph below that extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right. after those are extended below that will be a list of apps, there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

Is there a way to make the colour picker in the toolbar bigger?

Hi,
Is there a way to make the colour picker in the toolbar bigger?
I've been using Illustrator for some time now and find this part of the software to be annoying as I frequently mis-click this tiny area and the switching between foreground and background colour is easily mismanaged and you end up changing the colour of the one you didn't intend and then have to make two clicks to remedy that.
Do any other users find this to be a badly designed part of the software?
Also, while I'm here I suggest that when in the colour creation dialogue the 'preview' tick can somehow be switched to on as default.
I can understand that there are situations where it might be better not to see your colour change in the document in real time, but to have to click this (again very small) tick box again and again feels like bad design.
^ both the above are frequent tasks for many users
Interested to hear if there's any work arounds to fix this.

Thanks for the tip,
I do use x and shift x and also / to make a no stroke or no fill. But / is a long way across the keyboard. I guess I could reassign that function to a key that's nearer x.
I think the real annoying bit is not only the small size of the two overlapping squares, but the fact that they change size depending on which one is selected. So the button that is not selected is encroached by the one that is selected (and overlaps it). This to me seems counter to interface design - ie, make the switch button smaller. Worse still is the no fill / no stroke button; insanely tiny.
I would gladly redesign this corner of Illustrator for Adobe, and I'm sure quite a few other people would too!

Can I choose a backup-font for missing characters in a style? Or is there a way to select pink areas

I have to layout tons of UTF 8 data from a MySQL database.
There is one problem. The designer picked a font that does not contain the Japanese characters. But there is much inline-Japanese in the text.
So the imported text has many pink areas (characters not present in font).
So I search for any of the following options:
Is there a way to define a fall-back font (like webbrowsers do). If you view UTF in TextEdit (mac) or in the browser, all weird characters are displayed using Osaka. Is there a way to let Indesign replace pink squares with Osaka?
Is there a way to SELECT all pink squares, and apply a character-style to them? That way I can create a characterstyle with the Osaka font
Is there a way to have InDesign parse some sort of markup-elements in plain text? I could tweak the MySQL output with PHP to wrap all strange symbols in a markup-item like [japanese]blabla[/japanese]. If that would be converted to characterstyle "Japanese" on import, I would be helped a lot as well.
The font hack: is there a way to load all available characters in the designfont into Osaka and replace those characters and make Osaka2? Or would that result in a mess?
I think some automation to get a character style on the pink areas is the best, as that allows to tweak font height and baseline shift to match the other font.
Does anybody know one of the four or maybe a fifth way to tackle my problem?

Thanks for standing in for me, Peter - we were hosting the extended family, I did nothing but cook for hours.

This is what I'd do, honestly. It depends on your available output-from-DB formats, and what you're placing/importing into ID. But if you're placing raw text (?) then you can't simply use Type -> Find Font, so the GREP solutions offered here are good ones.
I think some automation to get a character style on the pink areas is the best, as that allows to tweak font height and baseline shift to match the other font.
Note that the "baseline" in Japanese is not the same place as the baseline in Latin-script. Japanese doesn't really have a baseline - they operate with a completely separate set of typographical conventions - but the effect is that you should not line up the bottom of your Japanese glyphs with the Latin-script baseline. Set some bilingual text in a good font (Kozuka Mincho Pro, it came with ID, you probably already have it installed) and take a look.
it is very important that you have the correct glyphs or you risk changing the meanings or making the author look like an idiot. If you don't read Japanese you would be well advised to have the document checked by someone who does to be sure it reads OK before it goes into the wild.
Chances that you'll make something completely illegible are minimal when handling Japanese, but there are a very large number of reasons why you can't just flow Japanese into English-language ID and expect it to work. There are permissible places to wrap Japanese, and places where it's not permissible. The paragraph composer you'd be using if you are using English-language ID will happily break Japanese in the wrong place. This is analagous to bad hyphenation, but looks far more idiotic to the Japanese readership than bad hyphenation looks to an English-language readership (who probably wouldn't notice bad hyphenation unlesss they happen to be a design-savvy readership). Look into using something like Japanese Indesign or World Tools Pro or the TransPacific Digital Japanese-composer template files.

Is there a way to select every other page in a multi page pdf and convert it to grayscale?

I'm going to ask this question in a few sub-forums, so if you think you've seen it, you might have.
Where I work I use a program that can print to pdf. We use it to produce mailings, usually postcards, that are addressed.
I often end up with a 500 page document that will print on 250 sheets of cover stock, which will get cut into 1,000 postcard, all pre-addressed and sorted by zip code.
Usually, the address side is all black and the front is color. The printers we use can print a black click on the address side and a color click on the other, IF the pdf is set up that way. Otherwise, both sides will be counted as color clicks.
I know I can select pages individually in a pdf and convert them to grayscale and those pages will be counted by the printer as black clicks, which are cheaper than color clicks.
The problem is, I have not figured out how to convert all the odd numbered pages to grayscale at once. As a result, I usually end up printing the color side simplex, then putting the job back in the tray and printing the black side. Of course, that only works if only one side is personalized, sometimes both sides are.
Is there a way to select every other page in a pdf and convert it to grayscale?

The Acrobat SDK has sample code that shows how to convert the colors for one page (the first page of a document). This sample can easily be adjusted to process every other page. You can then use an Action that executes this JavaScript to process the document. Do you know how to create an Action? If so, you can use this script (as I said, adapted from the sample in the SDK) to convert all odd pages (1, 3, 5, ...):
// Get a color convert action
var toGray = this.getColorConvertAction();
// Set up the action for a conversion to RGB
toGray.matchAttributesAny = -1;
toGray.matchSpaceTypeAny = ~toGray.constants.spaceFlags.AlternateSpace;
toGray.matchIntent = toGray.constants.renderingIntents.Any;
toGray.convertProfile = "Gray Gamma 1.8";
toGray.convertIntent = toGray.constants.renderingIntents.Document;
toGray.embed = true;
toGray.preserveBlack = false;
toGray.useBlackPointCompensation = true;
toGray.action = toGray.constants.actions.Convert;
// Convert every other page
for (var i=0; i<this.numPages; i++) {
console.println("Processing page " + i);
if (i % 2 == 0) { // change to "if (i % 2 != 0) {" for all even numbers
console.println("in page " + i);
console.println(this.colorConvertPage(i, [toGray], []));
As I've indicated in the code, you can change this to all even numbers by changing the == to !=

Is there a way to select multiple files and initiate the Capitalize function?

I have hundreds of files all in upper case that are driving me crazy. I can select them one at a time, right click and then select Transformations/Capitalize. Is there a way to select multiple files and initiate the Capitalize function?

You could use Automator to do this - take a look at the article at http://www.wikihow.com/Batch-Rename-Files-in-Mac-OS-X-Using-Automator to see how this might be done.
Good luck...

Is there any way to select all mail messages and delete them?

I get lots of mail, and most of it I don't keep, or keep over on my MacBook. Is there a way to select all the Mail messages and delete them, or do I need to go through them one at a time?
many thanks!

In your inbox in the phone you can mark the mails one by one and then tab delete.
In Trash you can delete all with one tab.

Well, you could trade it in for a white one!
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
