Kinda silly question - color palette

Hi,
Ive been working with AEFX for a couple of years now, and have just swapped machines at work (all singing/dancing thing).
When I open AEFX on the new machine (default settings, etc) the first thing i notice is that the color picker doesn't have all the color spectrum on it.
only the blues from white to dark blue. So if i select RGB values to choose a new color solid the RGB values don't give me the color they should.
I know I should just use the hex number, but such a simple thing must have an option somewhere that im unaware of.
I tried to RTFM, but its very vague on this...
Does anyone have a clue what im on about..?
cheers!
Dell, WIN XP 4GBRAM 2*Quad core, etc...

You can switch back and forth between the two color pickers quite easily, depending on which you prefer for specific tasks. See the
"Choose a color picker" section of After Effects Help on the Web.

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

My macbook pro's screen display has suddenly gone into a strange colour setting where everything appears in a kind of infrared colour palette an I can;t seem to change it back. It's the same for all icon and websites, does anyone know how to restore?

My macbook pro's screen display has suddenly gone into a strange colour setting where everything appears in a kind of infrared colour palette an I can;t seem to change it back. It's the same for all icon and websites, does anyone know how to restore?

Wow! I think I had this same issue just last night.
I was cleaning my macbook pro retina on the outside. Then I opened it up and was wiping dust off the monitor and I can't pinpoint exactly when, but the colors changed suddenly. It looked super strange, it was like green halo's and it looked worse when looking at it at an angle. Of course I took no pictures!!! I was freaking out that my 2 grand laptop was busted and I somehow removed a protective film or something.
But I digress... The image looked very green and spacey, it was almost a neat effect. After about 5 minutes it started to look a little more digital though. There were straight lines of this halo effect on the edges and top. After about 10 minutes it turned into a predominate issue with the blacks on screen. I could open a web browser and it was unnoticable on a white background. After about 15 minutes, you could only barely see the green cloud effect if you looked at the monitor from an extreme angle. After about 20 minutes, it was completely back to normal, I almost feel paranoid like I see a halo or something strange. But I believe that might be all in my head now.
So yerp, lemme know what you guys figure out.

INDD to PDF: web-safe color palette?

Context: currently, the Google Docs Viewer/Embedder, when used to display a PDF in a browser, heavily downsamples images in the PDF resulting in grisly color changes and posterization. This has been discussed for a long time elsewhere on the web (example) and is something Google might eventually deal with.
I assume Google's intention was to hack down bandwidth usage, which I don't begrudge them, but the results stand out glaringly in an otherwise vibrant WWW. Embedded fonts work fine, and the only other visual/layout errors can be with some more advanced design effects—unless they are flattened down to Acrobat 5 compatibility.
With the nasty color changes, what I believe I'm seeing is a re-processing of the images in the PDF with ye olde web-safe color palette. Or maybe its paleolithic predecessor. FYI the source PDF is unaffected. And FYI, yes, I am aware of many other options for embedding a PDF in a web page; I'd like to try and solve this one.
My thinking is this: if I can output my InDesign file such that images are converted more gracefully to a web-safe palette, and possibly with more satisfactory color dithering, then the results via the Google Docs Viewer/Embedder might be improved, more predictable, good enough for now.
I know how to do this with Photoshop, and I assume it's a Photoshop engine working behind the scenes in/for InDesign when processing images, so I'm hoping this is attainable.
Semi-educated guesses:
That a suitable color profile could be created and selected when outputting either PDF or PS, resulting in 255-color (indexed) RGB images in the final PDF layout.
That the long way is to make alternate versions of each image used in the layout, swap them (such as with relink to file extension, e.g. GIF for TIF), and output a version specifically for embedding.
Thanks in advance for any creative thinking.
Edit: it's looking like the limit is far fewer colors, possibly 16. Gross. But I'm still curious about the possibility of a method for this, as it could have other applications.

After getting both your replies, I went back and experimented some more. I am creating a pdf for a b&w book interior, and it is setup as an ID book, with two files. I was trying to generate the pdf from the book.indb file without the individual book indd files being open. That resulted in the screen in my initial question.
I went back and doubleclicked both of my book indd files and selected both, then generated the pdf from the book.indb file. This time I got the proper choices Document CMYK - U.S. Web Coated ....

Custom Color Palette for Charts / CSS

Is there a way of creating a custom color palette for charts (as you can do it in WebIntelligence) and install it on the tomcat?
Or will I have to set my custom colors in the css? And if so: where can I find a description of classes for Charts? Is there any description of css classes at all? All I could find was a list of classes for a crosstab (but no description).
Thank you
Carola

Custom color palette not saving. Why?

Logic is not saving changes that I make to the color palette. I can make the change, but after I quit and restart Logic, the changes are gone. Any idea why?

I've answered this question, but I cannot figure out what I've previously done wrong. I managed to save the colours and get them to reload when I went back in to Logic. Not exactly sure how I did it, but it doesn't save automatically.

What is the top right button in the color palette used for

I've seen several tutorials on different mac apps and when they refer to the color palette I see a oval shape button in the top right corner. Maybe that was in 10.5 or latter but I'm using Lion and there is no oval button in my color palette. I see this in Pages, Pixelmator and Keynote but no oval button showing.
Thanks in advace

I've found over the past day that its presence comes and goes, presumably based on background apps.
As I'm unable to predict when I'll catch it next time, it's best I close this question and I'll reopen a new question when I can provide a screenshot.
Many thanks for your response, and I'll watch for its reappearance.

How to import color palette into illustrator

Since I am new to illustrator, I have a very simple question. I have a color palette from my company. This is the company colors. I would like to input these colors into the color palette of illustrator so I use those colors for our designs, etc. What is one way to do this?

Might be better to open the JPEG in Photoshop and create swatches there. Then you can export those swatches as ASE which you can then load into Illustrator.
In Illustrator you can include those swatches in a document profile. which you can then base your files upon.

Set Custom Color Palette as Default

Does anyone know how to set the a custom default palette? I created a few new colors and exported. Now when I try to import, I browse to the .pal file, however the option check box 'Use Imported Color Palette' is disabled.
In preferences my color mode is set to Editable. Is there another setting somewhere? I'm trying to set this up so all my developers have access to the colors and they only have to set the pallete up once.
TIA - Brian

This has come up before, and I think it is not possible. The OS always keeps one of its own Latin keyboards active, and unfortunately I have not seen any way that these (located in system/library/keyboard layouts/applekeyboardlayouts.bundle) can be modified by the user.
PS Another possible source for "PC" layouts for people using that kind of hardware instead of Apple keyboards is the set of Logitech layouts provided when you download Ukelele.

Auto Apply Custom Color Palette to photo?

I have two questions:
1) Is there a way to automatically capture colors from a photo to automatically create a custom color palette? (for example, if I want a color palette of 20 colors, it would automatically pick 20 colors and create a palette).
2) Is there a way to take a custom color palette, and automatically apply that palette to a photo?
(I don't want to just use the color picker to choose my colors....I am looking for automation)
Thanks!

I'm not sure... maybe I could use index colors.... I will look into that. I have found some "color palette generators" online, which I need to investigate also. I just thought that maybe there was a feature directly in photoshop that might work.
Attached are sample images. I would like to automatically take a color palette from the lilies, and apply those colors automatically to the forest. I would like the forest to have the same color scheme as the lilies, so that the two images would look very similar.

Dynamic shape colors: color palette?

I am having a hard time finding guidance for this and am hoping someone can point me to the right guidance.
I have a number of visio files, all of them visual representations of workflows. I have color-coded each, but if I want to change colors systematically (ie: hey, I want all of those things that are coded blue to be coded red instead) I currently would
have to go to each file and re-color all of the shapes. Obviously a poor solution.
Is there a way to define a color palette, tell visio to use that palette for various shapes, then allow for dynamic changes to that palette that would be reflected in the visio shapes?
I have explored Data Graphics and assigning color by shape value, but those colors are hard-wired.
Thanks for any ideas!

Keynote 6.5 color palette problem

How do I get this "background pic" removed? I don't even know how it got there!
Quitting the app or computer doesn't work.
The pic itself is from a previous project.

You didn't understand my question!
This is the problem - the picture inside color palette.:
I can't get rid of it!!!

JAI and color palette

Hi, I�m working with JAI, and I would like to know how could I change and manipulate the color palette of an image. I�m working with RenderedOp objects.
I think that this could be done using ColorModel or Sample model classes, but i dont know how.
I look foward on receiving an answer. Thanks

Not quite sure of what you're asking...
If the ColorModel is TYPE_..INDEXED or BINARY (or similar) you can change palette colors their. If the image is of TYPE_INT_RGB or the like, i think you can only change pixels (colors).
The only way i can think of is for example, generate an BufferedImage with a say TYPE_BYTE_INDEXED (IndexColorModel) with 1,4,8 bit depth. Then, it's easier for me to, getColorModel, covert the byte array to an RBG int array; change the color with some Color methods, reconvert back to byte array. Then generate a new image with BufferedImage(IndexColorModel, 'oldimage'.getRaster()). Make sense?, this is kind of wack but i can stand dealing with the byte array!
With JAI though i don't know what colormodels are being shot out, i make my own (inferior) Codecs. it helps me understand BMP,TGA,BMP better. The jpg codec i assume is generating 24 bit RGB but i assume tht BMP codec is >8 bit Indexed as it should be. Hope this helps
