Linear fills -changing

Hi
If I have a linear fill using 4 shades of orange and I wish
to change the
fill to shades of blue do I have to start from scratch or is
there a way of
linking colours?
thanks

You may try placing a copy of the object above it, set fill
color to solid
blue, then change merge mode from "Normal" to something like
"Color".

JavaScripting linear fill

Trying to get a linear fill, top to bottom, in a button or field using JavaScripting so I can change the colors when needed. Adobe documentation says it can be done, but is not clear as to how to get the desired result. Any ideas?
Thank you.

OK now I understand. You will have to setup your field with the appearance the way you want (i.e. Linear toBottom) with white to white before you run your script. This will give the same appearance as a normal field but it will put the neccessary nodes in the XDP to allow you to manipulate them. Once you do this you will need three commands to complete your change.
1. To set the style of the appearance:
TextField1.ui.textEdit.border.fill.linear.type = "to Bottom";
2. Set the color that you are fading to:
TextField1.ui.textEdit.border.fill.linear.color.value = "0,0,255";
3. Set the colro of the field that you are starting from:
TextField1.ui.textEdit.border.fill.color.value = "255,0,0";
Lastly you will need to put fous on the field to have your changes applied:
xfa.host.setFocus("TextField1");

When I use Find Font command from Type menu, the overprint fill changed!

Can any one tell why the overprint fill attribute checked when I use Find Font from Type menu to simple change the font.
Try this Illustrator file from this URL:
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BysC4QT512vCY2YzZDRkMGEtMjNmMy00MDE2LWFmNzQtNTBhNDQ5MTBlO Dk1
and change the font of letter B in the illustration using Find Font command to and font and notice how the overprint fill changed from uncheched to checked.

The problem happens here, even if I first change the color to CMYK 0000 prior to using find font.
Anything we need to know about the history of this file, was it originally a pdf, or those text objects.
Manually changing the font does not turn overprint on, Find Font is toggling the overprint value in the code for this probably due to somehting abnormal in the code, or maybe be associated to this font's name triggers this glitch.

Why wont the text fill change colour?

hi there. It sounds really obvious but for some reason in adobe after effects after selecting the colour white or any other colour it doesnt change.
The fill can change to no fill from black but not any other colour. Hope thats clear.
Thanks in advance

The text layer must either have all text selected with the text tool or the layer must be selected in the timeline with the selection tool to change the font color in the Character Pannel.
If that doesn't work, select the text layer in your timeline, press the U key twice to reveal all changed properties. If you don't see fill color then drill down until you get it and change it there.
If that doesn't work we need a screen shot with all properties of your text layer revealed.

Web icons look horrible when stroke and fill are changed

Does anyone know why an expanded symbol with a fill change looks crappy when saved as a gif 128 no dither? I am perplexed...

Try placing a background color behind your object that matches your web site.

How To Change Hyperlinks And Nav Menu Colors

I continue to see people stating that it's impossible to change hyperlink colors and navigation menu colors until after you publish your site. This is not true. It's quite easy to update your templates with the colors YOU want and when you update the template, you never have to mess with any post-processing. You make a new page? Your colors are already there.
I've gone over this before in this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3288533&#3288533
But I'll go over the quick and dirty version here as well. Those who want more detail can post a question and I'll elaborate.
First, do you know how to get into iWeb's inner folders? You right click or control click on your iWeb icon and select Show Package Contents from the pop-up menu.
Step 2
Once you've done that, you'll see a new Finder window that shows a folder called Contents. Open that and then open the next folder Resources. Within Resources there's a folder named Shared. Open the Shared folder.
You're now looking at your collection of iWeb template files. You'll notice that each template has seven individual page files - each file defines the layout and styles for the page for which its named. This is actually one of the two places where you'll find the data/images that make up your iWeb pages. This location only contains the images. Now I'll show you were to find the data file.
So you're currently here:
/Applications/iWeb/Contents/Resources/Shared/
You want to go here:
/Applications/iWeb/Contents/Resources/English.lproj
Now if you speak another language and your Mac's system language is set to the language you speak, substitue English with that language. If your system is set to English regardless of the language you speak, and you use the English templates, then stick with the English folder.
When you're in the English.lproj folder, you will see seven sub-folders and one file named TemplatesInfo.plist. TemplatesInfo.plist is the file that registers the templates and tells iWeb what you've got in your collection. But we don't care about that file for now. We're after the template data files.
The seven sub-folders are aptly named for each of the seven page-types as you can see. Open the About Me folder.
Now you will see an "about me.webtemplate" file for every template you have in your collection. Good job. You've learned something new. Move on to Step 3.
Step 3
If you haven't decided yet, now's the time to decide which template you'd like to update. If you're just along for the ride to learn something new, no worries. We won't do anything you can't undo.
Pick a template file now. Perhaps you chose the White template, or:
White About Me.webtemplate
Right click or control click on this file and select Show Package Contents from the pop-up menu. This will launch a new Finder window that displays the contents of the White About Me.webtemplate file.
You will likely see a handful of different files, but the file you want is the one named Index.xml.gz.
Index.xml.gz is the brain behind the template. Within this file are all the settings for the page you chose and it's really not hard to find what you want and change it. So let's take a peek.
Step 4
Double-click the file Index.xml.gz. This will reveal a new file named Index.xml. You might have to scroll down in your Finder window to see it. Rename Index.xml.gz to Index.xml.gz.backup in case you screw things up, you have your original.
Now, open Index.xml with TextEdit. Do not open the file with a code editor unless you have already formatted the file.
When the file opens, you'll notice it's one gigantic jumbled mess of stuff. No worries, we'll straighten that out. All you need to do is a find/replace.
Find all instances of: ><
And replace with:
<
The line break is important so maybe just copy the lines right out of this post. When you replace all of those, the file will be far more easy to view.
Assuming you've completed that step. You're basically ready to make your change and test it out! Not hard ey?
So let's say you want to change your hyperlink color from grey to blue. Search for this string:
BLDefaultHyperlinkCharacterStyleIdentifier0
When you find that string, you will see a few lines below it, two lines that look similar to this:
<sf:fontColor>
<sf:color xsi:type="sfa:calibrated-rgb-color-type" sfa:r=".8" sfa:g="1" sfa:b="0.4" sfa:a="1"/>
This is how the template specifies color. It's RGB100. Your Mac came with a program called Art Director's Took Kit and that application can tell you the RGB100 values for any color you want. Tinker with that and you'll have a lot of fun with this.
So I picked out a nice royal blue for you. The RGB100 values for it are:
R:0 G:25 B:100
What you need to do is update the color line to match those values:
<sf:color xsi:type="sfa:calibrated-rgb-color-type" sfa:r="0" sfa:g=".25" sfa:b="1" sfa:a="1"/>
Notice that you specify these in terms of a percentage, where 25 became .25 and 100 became 1.
Step 5
Save your file. It's time to see your work in action. Open iWeb if it isn't open already and create a new page using the template you've just altered. If you altered the White About Me page, then select that and create the new page.
It there are hyperlinks already on this page, you should already see that they reflect your new color. If there aren't any hyperlinks, then type some text and create one. You should see your new link color right away!
Now if you don't see the new color, either you picked the wrong page or you neglected to rename the Index.xml.gz file a few steps back. If you did not rename that file, then it's still in control of your template. Rename it now and try again.
If you don't like that color, simply swap back to the TextEdit page and change it until you like it - switching back and forth between the file and iWeb to view your changes. Once you're happy, make note of the color you chose and make the change for the remaining six pages in the tempalte you selected. Just be sure to follow the steps for each page you edit. If you fail to see your change, again, check to see that you renamed Index.xml.gz.
Side Notes
For the more technical, rather than editing an existing template, you might want to duplicate and rename a template. This essentially creates a brand new one. If you're pretty good within Finder then go for it, just be sure that you duplicate the files in both locations:
/Applications/iWeb/Contents/Resources/Shared/
/Applications/iWeb/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/...
Choose a unique name for the duplicated template and change every single file so that the new name replaces the old one. You would have to register this new template in the TemplatesInfo.plist file as well, but I'm not going to get into that here.
The thread I referenced at the top has all kinds of search terms to find the other hyperlink styles (rollover and visited) and all the navigation menu styles plus a bunch of other fun stuff.
Now, it seems long, but that's because I wrote it well. The shortest version of this I've ever written was two sentences, but that was for a UNIX geek and he got it. It's just as easy for you, but I write it out so that anyone can do this, because anyone can. It's just not hard.
If you have questions about any of the steps, go ahead and ask.

Good. Okay here's how to apply a background color to your nav bar buttons. For example, my Aerolite template sets the selected page to a black background color. The rollover effect uses a gradient fill. I'll describe both of those here.
First, here are the navigation menu search terms:
navbaritem-style-normal-default
navbaritem-style-rollover-default
navbaritem-style-selected-default
navbar-pargraph
The first three set the button effects and text colors. The last one there sets the font, font size and other paragraph styles.
To change the selected page button background color, or gradient or image, first search for it using the search term above. Start from the top of the file because there are two instances of those terms, one where you can set the values, the other is only reference to the first and does not allow you to change settings.
When you find the search term, you might want to insert an empty line above it to help separate it from the rest of the code. You can also insert an empty line below the section. The end of this style ends with:
</sf:navbar-item-style>
Be careful not to mix that up with </sf:navbaritem-character-style>
Now, within this section, you'll find all kinds of settings... stroke, fill, character styles, etc. Notice you can change font color in there. But for this demo, you want to find the section that looks like this:
<sf:fill>
<sf:null/>
</sf:fill>
I'm assuming you're editing an Apple template that does not already have a fill effect. If it does have one, then your example might not look exactly like that.
To apply a color fill, change those three lines to these lines:
<sf:fill>
<sf:color xsi:type="sfa:calibrated-rgb-color-type" sfa:r="0" sfa:g="0" sfa:b="0" sfa:a="1"/>
</sf:fill>
You can see that we've inserted the line that specifies color - something you should be familiar with by now. Here you can specify the color that will become the background of your nav bar button. This example specifies black. Easy no?
If you would prefer a gradient fill, then replace those three lines with this:
<sf:fill>
<sf:angle-gradient sfa:ID="SFRAngleGradient-1111" sf:opacity="1" sf:type="linear" sf:angle="0">
<sf:stops sfa:ID="NSMutableArray-1111">
<sf:gradient-stop sfa:ID="SFRGradientStop-1111" sf:fraction="0">
<sf:color xsi:type="sfa:calibrated-rgb-color-type" sfa:r="0.40" sfa:g="0.40" sfa:b="0.30" sfa:a="1"/>
</sf:gradient-stop>
<sf:gradient-stop sfa:ID="SFRGradientStop-2222" sf:fraction="1">
<sf:color xsi:type="sfa:calibrated-rgb-color-type" sfa:r="0.64" sfa:g="0.66" sfa:b="0.54" sfa:a="1"/>
</sf:gradient-stop>
</sf:stops>
</sf:angle-gradient>
</sf:fill>
Now, don't panic Here's what this is. The first line allows you to specify the angle of your gradient. Play with the numbers from 0 to 359 until you have what makes sense for your design.
Then, you will see two familiar lines again - the lines that allow you to specify color! The first line is the first color of your gradient and the second color is the second color of your gradient. That's all there is to it!
SECRET: It might be possible to add additional colors, not just two. Do you see the part sf:fraction="0" and sf:fraction="1"? These are gradient stops. I'm willing to bet that if you inserted a thrid gradient stop with a fraction setting of .5, you'd have a three-color gradient!
<sf:gradient-stop sfa:ID="SFRGradientStop-3333" sf:fraction=".5">
<sf:color xsi:type="sfa:calibrated-rgb-color-type" sfa:r="0" sfa:g="0.25" sfa:b="4" sfa:a="1"/>
</sf:gradient-stop>
I have never tried this - it just occurred to me as I was looking at this code. Big prize for the first person to prove the theory
NOTE: You will notice that the number 1111 and 2222 are within this code. iWeb XML relies on identification tags here and there. It's nothing you really have to care about except if you insert gradient fills in more than one area. Those numbers need to be unique so if you paste that code in for your selected page button and then paste it again for your rollover buttons, you'll need to update the numbers for the second button. Any numbers are fine. Use 3333 and 4444 for the second set, 5555 and 6666 for the thrid and so on. I often just type 4345781476 - doesn't matter.

Content Aware Fill doesn't work on large images

When stitching together a large panorama, the content aware tool doesn't work if the image is >30,000 pixels. When you use the tool on large images (after I have flattened the layers and using the magic wand to select a white area at the top), it runs through the process as if it is going to fill and then after the "fill" window completes, the selected area remains white.
I noticed on some other forum posts that jpg saving couldn't occur on >30,000 pixel width images, so I changed the image size to 29,999 (from ~39,000) and the content fill tool worked.
Any ideas from the community if Adobe has a fix for this bug?

I found that I could get around this problem by doing sections instead of a complete linear fill (when you do panoramas, you tend to have a long white area on the top and bottom of the image - this is what I have been working with).
The downside with working in sections is you get some pattern matching issues so you have to go and do spot work until it looks the way you want.
Another interesting artifact from doing long linear sections is you have an edge (a line) between the fill and the original image. To remove this, I zoom very close and use the lasso tool to select only that line. Using the content fill tool to fix this is a very easy, clean solution.

Problem with applying fills & strokes to grouped objects in Illustrator CC

I have this problem that I deal with everyday & I can't figure out how to fix it.
I am always struggling with applying fills & strokes (or changing fills & strokes).
It seems like I always have to ungroup the objects first (even if I never grouped them in the first place), or I have to clear appearance first. Sometimes I have to ungroup several times, even if it is only one object by itself, not grouped with anything else.
I think It may have something to do with the pathfinder... like the pathfinder is creating groups when I use the divide filter.
Even when I use the direct selection tool, to select just the object I want, it wont let me apply the fill or stroke that I want.
Also, it seems like it has several layers of appearance... when I ungroup the object, it changes appearance (the fill or stroke changes).
Also, if I eyedrop the object to apply its appearance to another object, the "hidden" appearance is the one that gets appled to the new object.
The closest discussion I could find was about compound paths, but I think this is a different issue, because when I go to compound paths in the menu, it doesn't give me the option to release anythig.
I have this problem ALL DAY LONG, every day. Please help!!

Thanks for your reply!
I see what you are saying, and I think is some cases that could be a helpful trick - but the problem I'm having is slighlty different.
The object that I want to change doesn't show the actual appearance... it only shows its underlying appearance after ungrouping several times, and then when it is completely ungrouped, it visibly changes to another fill & stroke. This happens even when the object is not grouped with anything... it is just grouped to itself i guess & I am not grouping these items, they just become grouped somehow - I think because of the pathfinder. I often have to ungroup 3-5 times, which is a hassle in iteself... but sometimes I actually need to grouping to keep items togther so I can manage all the ojects & move them around as needed.
So... the method you are suggesting could possibly solve the issue, except I don't know what the fill & stroke is until I ungroup everything, so I can't create the swatch off to the side to match it. The other thing is, it seems like I would be creating a lot of swatches, since I use lots of different fills & it seems like it would be a lot of extra work.
Here is an example of 2 objects before using the pathfinder. Please note how the object selected & the fill & stroke boxes all jive:
Now here are two images after using the pathfinder tool (I added another object to get the problme to happen). Please note how the fill & stroke boxes do not match the objects selected:
This is what happens when I try to change the fill to green (the fill does not apply):
I thought it had something to do with compound paths, but as you can see below, the menu doesn't give me an option to release compound paths:
The final image is what happens after I ungroup the objects:
I don't understand:
1) why pathfinder is grouping these objects
2) why the strokes & fills change & why the fill & stroke boxes don't match the actual fill & stroke.
3) why I can't change the fill or stroke without ungrouping (even when using the direct selection tool).
4) why the fill & stroke change again after ungrouping

How to change transparent PDF background into white background?

Hi all, I have some text documents in PDF format and would like to edit it in photoshop CS5, but each time I open them up in photoshop, the background seems to be transparent (tiny grey and white tiles), which is very eye tiring when editing/annotating with a wacom pen, how to fill the background total white? Thanks.

Ah, easy one. Create a new layer{Layer>New Layer}, then fill it with a color{Edit>Fill}Change content of the fill box to a color of your choosing.
If you have windows the short cut for filling with foreground is alt-backspace and filling with background is ctrl-backspace. Short cut for fill dialog box is shift-backspace or shift-F5.
A faster way to create a new layer is to use the icon just to the right of the trashcan at the bottom of the layers panel.
A bit over winded in directions, but once you learn the shortcuts, it will be a snap to do.

Change cell margins vertically?

After I reduced text font to size 7 in the cells, there is lots of white space between the cell text when I print the table. I've tried using the function that moves the text to the "top" of the cell and then reduce the row height. However, the text gets cut off when reducing the height since the text won't automatically center vertically. Is there any way to reduce cell margins? Or are there other solutions that may help?
Thanks!

Are you talking about vertical space? You can reduce the inset margin to zero and center the text vertically in the cell, both using the Text inspector. You may be able to align the text at the top of the cell and reduce the row height some more but Numbers will snap the row height back to what it likes for 7pt text if you make any drag/fill changes.

Script to find/change stroke in tables

Hi everyone,
I posted this very same question about a month ago but I got no reply so I thought I'd try again. Even if I can't obtain a free script that will do what I need, I'm happy to look at paying for one if someone can point me in the right direction.
I'm looking for a script that will target the stroke weight in tables and change them to a lighter weight, eg. from 0.5pt to 0.3pt.
I have a script that targets the fill at the following url:

...but I'm looking for one that targets the stroke.
Just wondering if anyone might know where I can find one?
Thanks

Develop settings suddenly changed ?

I just imported a new batch of dngs from Canon 10D to LR 2.3 on Win XP. The images are still coming up "As Shot", which is correct, but many Develop settings have changed since I used LR yesterday. This has happened in both my 'slide scans' .lrcat and my 'digital' .lrcat.
Black is now 5 (was 0)
Brightness is +50 (was 0)
Contrast is +25 (was 0)
Linear has changed to Medium Contrast
Noise Reduction - Color is 25 (was 0)
Sharpness is +25 (was 0)
I've never (knowingly) set ANY presets in Develop. What did I do and how do I revert to the 'before' state? (I prefer to start at '0' with all my images - except, of course, a few like Sharpness - Radius 25, etc.)

Hi Dennis (spelling?), I was wrong on a couple of points. First, those settings are NOT in my 'slide' .lrcat. Second, I was hasty and mistaken: Those changes only appear in this most recent import of 47 (dng) images, today's download. And, third, not ALL the settingS were 0 (probably defaults) but the things I listed are definite changes from the appearance of my Develop module panel from yesterday back to day 1 with LR.
In my digital catalog of 9K images, several thousand of which are dngs, I have NOT had those numbers appear before - you must believe I would have noticed things like 'Linear' being 'Med Contrast' while working almost daily in LR . . .

A few tips about using the Text Panel

A recent question about the text panel set me to working with it and I thought I'd share some tips I discovered, since the help files don't explain the text panel at all.
At one time I called the text panel "useless", but I've changed my mind -- it's a nice thing to have. Essentially it's a quick way to instantaneously
Create a new layer with a semi-transparent layer style.
Create a rectangular shape on that layer.
Add a drop shadow effect to that shape.
All with a double-click!
You access the text panel from the "Effects" panel and its "Photo Effects" icon, choosing the "Frame" effect:
Double-clicking on it creates the layer and the shape. By default, the text panel layer has a semi-transparent layer style applied to it and this has caused great grief for those who want a completely opaque background behind some text. Not to worry, that's easily done. To whet your appetite, here are a few effects that can be achieved with the text panel:
Let's start with the "Big text" box:
Create the text panel.
Because we want an opaque panel, right-click on the shape in the Editor and select "Clear layer style". POOF! Instantly you've got an opaque white shape with no drop shadow.
Move and resize the panel. (It's still horizontal at this point.)
Add some text (which will come in on its own layer).
Size and position the text relative to the shape, and when you're satisfied, select both the shape layer and the text layer (using the Ctrl key) in the Layers panel and click on the "Link layers" icon at the bottom of the Layers panel. This links the shape and text so they can be moved and rotated as one. The layers wind up looking like this:
Now, let's look at the "small text" box:
Create the text panel.
Position the panel and add and position some text as before.
Because we want the text panel to be a dark grey (instead of the default white), with the text panel layer selected, select the "Create new fill or adjustment layer" icon at the bottom of the Layers panel and select "Hue/Saturation...". Be sure to use the "Clip to layer" icon, and lower the "Lightness" value:
This gives the nice transparent grey background so the white text shows up very well, even against the bright white of the clouds.
Select all three of the layers and link them together:
Finally, you can have some fun with the "Fancy" effects:
Create the text panel.
Position the panel, add some text, and set their positions.
Add a "Hue/Saturation" adjustment layer as before (clipping it to the text panel shape layer).
Colorize the text panel by using these settings:
5. Don't forget to link the layers together:
6. Double-click on the "fx" icon to the right of the text panel shape layer, which will bring up the "Layer effects" dialog box. Here you can create the bevel and adjust the size and transparency of the drop shadow.
You can also get this nice faded effect on the text panel:
After following the steps listed above, add a mask layer to the text panel shape layer and draw a gradient fill on that mask layer to fade the layer. I used a linear fill going from white to a dark gray because I wanted some of the text panel to always be showing:
N.B.: Make sure you always clip the "Hue/Saturation" adjustment layer to the text panel shape layer so that the H/S adjustments only affect the text panel.
That's it! Enjoy!
Ken

Yes nice job.
Thanks for posting this.
