Looking for a good tutorial for converting color to b&w in Elements 10

I have located tutorials that offer advice/instructions on conversion however they all seem to be in earlier versions and the dropdowns and screens are not the same as 10. I am looking for well prepared tutorials that focus on converting RAW color to b&w. I am not overly interested in the fad of placing color objects within the b&w photo, but I am interested in giving my b&w photos more definition.
Thanks,
Mark Kovy

You might look at this page (scroll down to Adobe Photoshop 7 Tips-Seeing in Black and White) and look at all the stuff but in particular the
quicktime movie about using hue/saturation adjustment layers for black and white conversions.

To rename a layer, double click on the name in the layers panel.

Looking for a "color pass filter"..Remove all colors but 1

Looking for a "color pass filter"..Remove all colors but 1 or 2.
FCP6 doesn't seem to have one.
Anyone heard of one that works really well & that is fast to use?

Jim,
You are totally missing the point. I am an Adobe Premiere Pro instructor. I have been for 5 years. I added my 1st FCP system 2 weeks ago & am experiencing typical transitional curiosities as all who switch to other platforms & editing apps do.
PP has a color pass filter. I was curious to see if FCP did. That sounds logical to me:) If posting the question about the possibility of there being a color pass plugin bothers you, well , that has to do with you.
If you take a moment to read the prior correspondence, you might see my point.
I think we can bury the hatchet now:)

I'm looking for a color laser printer for my MacPro....what brand do you suggest me?

Hi.
I'm in difficult to decide what brand of color laser printer to buy.
A few month ago I saw that on the apple store was sell the HP LaserJet Pro CP1525 Color Printer series, but now only multifuction printer are avaiable.
Have uou got experience with some other model?
Thank's.
Cristian

I would look at reviews of course. I favor Lexmark but there are others.
Try these:
http://printers.toptenreviews.com/laser/
http://www.pcmag.com/reviews/laser-printers
Ink jets have come a long way, but not a replacement where laser is called for, and cost of ink is just as much as printers. Trouble with multi function is -- not all functions are always that great.
Support. Sometimes only the last couple model years get supported drivers.
I keep paying less and getting much much better quality printers though and compared to those $10,000 units of old today's printer is cheap, fast and a joy to use.

Display color problem - asking for a color solution

So I have this serious problem with my Macbook Pro.
Some months ago I suddenly saw green colors in black area's and pink line colors in white areas.
Text on white background was extremely frustrating to read, since it was surrounded with small pink lines and flickering.
Note this was only near max white and max black areas of the screen.
I found out that it was due to a hardware failure, since slightly bending the laptop (!!) would remove the problem
Attaching an external monitor doesn't show the defect, and booting in Windows 7 (bootcamp) still shows the same screen problem.
Searching the web, it appears that it was a NVidia related heat problem, known to my model, but the offer to get it fixed for free by apple (since it was a known issue) had already run out december 2012 (!!). I think my laptop is about 3-4 years old, and the battery pretty much died on me the first year, probably due to heavy usage and the graphic card getting too hot. There are small sweat/corosion marks of where my hand are placed when typing, on the aluminium, due to how hot my laptop got. It sometimes got so hot I couldn't touch the aluminium on the top left corner near the 1-2-Q-W keys.
Fixing my Macbook is too expensive. Just getting someone to look at it to diagnose it (without repairing it), costs a lot in my country, and we have no official apple store, only authorized resellers. I know it's probably the motherboard, because I tried to unscrew the backlid and gently touch certain area's on the motherboard with a pen, while the computer was still running, to find out where the short circuit was. I only started this kind of trying to "self service" it, because I knew how expensive replacing the motherboard would be (if that was even the issue?).
I have multiple times tried to place something up against the sensitive area's on the motherboard, and then screw back the backlid, to put some pressure on it, which at first worked brilliantly and removed the color issue for some weeks, before it started reappearing. I think the heat from the laptop slowly makes the motherboard adapt, and the problem returns. Extremely frustrating indeed.
I hope I can one day afford a Macbook Air, but until then, I don't want to throw more money after my poor macbook (which I pronbably can't sell anyway, like previous mac's I've owned, the day get a new. It's too worn out + battery got only 5min on a full charge).
I think it's wisest to rather save the money for a Macbook Air, and try to survive until then. Therefor I was hoping someone could help me with a temporary solution.
In Windows 7, using the Nvidia Control Panel to apply color management, I was able to adjust the individual color output values, and thereby remove the the screen issue! Maybe the colors are not as good anymore, but it sure beats not getting a headache after 10minutes trying to read an article.
I tried the same thing on the mac, using Preferences>Displays>Color>Calibrate, but this guide is much harder to use to get a decent result (since only the last 2 options really makes a difference, but changes the colors completely, which I can't change by going back to the first color settings since then it just undos the last step I just did. I'm currently writing this with a very blue pale screen.
I also tried to use ColorSync Utility, expecting to enter values manually, but contrary to the articles I read about using ColorSync, I cannot edit the values in the color profile I created (I can only change the ASCII text input fields). Trying to save the profile gives me the error 'The Document "screenbug.icc" could not be saved.'
I tried to look for alternative color calibration software, but most of them required hardware, or expensive full version to unlock the settings I needed (like SuperCal).
I hope some tech savy users out there that can help me, or at least make my life with my macbook less of a pain.
All help is much appreciated!!
PS: I've been a loyal Mac user since always. Few things I've learned is:
1) Don't buy the first version of new hardware. Wait about a month for reviews, to check for issues. I had a problem with an expensive MacPro that had to be replaced, but luckily for free since it was Apple's mistake. Sometimes Apple products also get minor internal changes/fixes without announcements, to help solve reported issues from early buyers.
3) Take care of you Mac, especially so because you can often sell your used Mac's for quite a value the day you want to upgrade. I've sold about 3 Mac's in my lifetime, for quite a gain, though I don't expect this macbook to do as well, if at all. But it's normally something to be cautious about.
3) Don't order custom configurations from the Apple Store, if you can live without it (+ it's usually crazy overprices). I payed extra to get the NVidia GeForce 9600M, and was happy with it for the first couple of years, but is now causing me all the problems I have today + made my Macbook worthless.
Stick with what the default configuration if possible, as other configurations might not have been tested carefully.

Who exactly is your comment "I am asking you to fix this problem soon" directed at?
Remember that you are posting on a user to user forum so nobody can really help you. If you want to give feedback to Apple, then contact them directly at http://www.apple.com/feedback.
Also, if you have an iPhone 3G and iOS 4.2.1 is the latest software that you can install on your phone, then there is absolutely nothing that anyone can do to fix the problem if you want to install Skype that requires iOS 4.3 - what do you think anyone can magically do?
iPhone 3G is a very old phone now and if you want to install Skype on your phone, then you need to go out and buy a new iPhone - either a 4s or a 5. Nothing more to it. Buy a new phone.

Looking for an All-In-One Printer Rec. with Mac

Hello,
I'm looking for a Color Laser All-In-One printer, with ADF and Networking capability for under $600. Any recommendations of printers that work well with Mac? I know the HP's are good, but my concern is with their software. I've had nightmare experiences with them.

Looking for printer Lexmark E250dn

Mac book pro and Imac connected wirelessly to AE. Sending file to printer is increasingly frequently met with " Looking for printer". Unplugging the AE power to reset always fixes the problem. It lasts for a few jobs, then stops working again. Latest firmware/OS/drivers.
Tried all the usual ( reset AE/Printers/reinstalled printer (Bonjour))
It seems to be happening with increasing frequency(daily)
Any help will save my few remaining grey hairs...

I have the same problem every time I print something in the print queue it says "Looking for hp color LaserJet 4600 (0001E6A2A8ED)" Most of the time it eventually finds it and prints but sometimes it either takes a really long time 10min+ or doesn't find it at all. The printer is networked to my computer thru ethernet the computer and printer are plugged into a linksys switch and the printer has a static ip address. I never had this problem before upgrading to Leopard.

Computer keeps "Looking for Printer"

Each time I print, the next time I print a document, it shows in the printer dialog box, "Looking for Lexmark E250dn". If I remove the printer, then add it again, I can print one time, and then on the next job, I get the same error.
What up? Any ideas? Thank you in advance.

Hi
We are looking for a software which converts SWF to MP4, we found many software which does the job but issue is file size is not optimize.
We found Adobe captivate 6 which gives optimum quality with good output but thing is we do not have batch process in captivate 6. so we request you to create a plugin or give a best option which have batch render quality and optimize in file size,

Captivate is e-learning development software not a dedicated video convertor, you are better off trying something like Adobe Media Encoder or Super.

Looking for a good tutorial about cookies

Hello
I'm looking for a good tutorial ( and clear enough for newbie like me ) on how to make 1.. or 2 cookies and some tips about how to make it.
- I need to have a cookies that record and store the user preference if he is on an english browser but wish to see the french version of my website ( assume i have a browser language detection script ) and then again turn off the language detection script of the french page if you are on an english browser ( or the other way, if you choose the other way )..
- I need to have a cookies that record the fact than if you are a mobile, you came on the webpage ( and got redirected the first time to the mobile page ) and that if you choose to click the button " go to regular website", it somehow turn off the mobile detection script on the main page so that the user will be able to navigate the real website if he want to.
I have absolutly no idea how to make cookie, and even with google, i get basic information how to make cookie, call them, erase them, but not how to make them work like a twin with the other script, and not what to put inside a cookies... in short i know nothing about that ... yet....
I'm not sure if i am clear, anyway any help, or tip's will be greatly appreciated. Thanks !
I would prefer Java or Html tutorial for cookies if possible.

Client side
I am a novice, but not a rookies.
I did www.episodesoft.com It is my first project that so many feature for me. Previously i was only doing the preparation for another man who was scripting, but now i'm require to do all. My studying about html/java/css were only an introduction. I'm mainly self-learning and already learned a lot on this website.
By the way, the Cookies are for this website because right now, it detect the mobile and redirect you. It will also detect ( script ready but disabled ) the language to redirect you to the english version of the website ( currently under construction ).

Looking For A Good Tutorial That Shows How To Redirect A Form Page.

Hi,
Attached is a mock up of the Home Recipes Page on the site I'm building. When a user clicks on one of the categories (Desserts, Drinks, etc), I want them to be able to go to the Main Page for that category, on which will appear the recipes that have already been posted by them or someone else. Also on the Main Page, I want them to be able to click on a button that takes them to a page on which they can enter a recipe. There are four fields on the "Enter Page;" Recipe Title, Ingredients, Preparation, Serves How Many.
Does anyone know of a good tutorial that would help me accomplish what I'm trying to do, and/or answer some of the questions I have?
1. For the page on which they use to post a recipe (in the process of building this one), is that named something like enterDesserts?
2. For the page on which the already posted recipes appear, do I name it something like postedDesserts?
2.a. I know I'll have to create a container div on the "posted" page for each of the four fields on the "enter" page, but how do I direct the
information that's entered into the proper div?
Thank you!

Hi,
the "linking between the various Main Pages" is ok in my view.
Here
<td><a href="RecipesDesserts.php">Desserts</a></td>
<td><a href="RecipesDrinks.php">Drinks</a></td>
<td><a href="RecipesFowl.php">Fowl</a></td>
you use the same key-words in your headline. In order to a precise distinction you should refer to "Recipes for Desserts" like this:
<td><a href="RecipesDesserts.php">Recipes for Desserts</a></td>
<td><a href="RecipesDrinks.php">Recipes for Drinks</a></td>
<td><a href="RecipesFowl.php">Recipes for Fowl</a></td>
ok?

Looking for a good tutorial or book for 3D composite

Hi, I do editing for 3D animation at work (simple kind) and working along with 2 other 3D modelers.
We recently came down to the conclusion that we need to composite to be able to render our animation.
However, none of us really know how to do 3D composite, including myself.
(I mean we know the simple composite using alpha channels and such... but not to the point to using z-depth or shadow maps... etc..).
I was looking around online and book store to find out if there is any good resources for us to learn. I do not have much luck of it, unfortunately.
I'd like to have our 3D modlers to know how to split to all different layers for a clean composite purpose.... (like for me to use in Shake ). From what I found out, higher end composite, you can split most of the gemoetries its own object IDs, and shadow map/layers, lighting layers... (even they render separetely, it do cast shadow as other objects surrounds it, or refection..) and then composite in one scene.
I believe we create pretty good animation when we rendered them all together in one scene, and now we are up to the point that there are too many geometeries and render farm computers can't handle to render (and they are not lower end compters but they crash when we try to render with not enough memories).
I'm not really looking for having real footage as background and 3D infront .. that kind of composite...
If there is anyone can direct me to a right book? or online website to learn more of this stuff for all of us, I'll be really appriciate it.
Thank you for your time...

Looking for recommendations for a good small color laser printer

My trusty Canon inkjet is on its last legs and I am considering getting a color laser printer.
I need it to have ethernet so all computers on my home LAN can print to it.
I am currently looking at the Samsung CPL-315W and the HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni Printer.
Pros: Samsung is smaller than the HP
Samsung toner is cheaper
HP print quality is rumored to be better
Cons:
Samsung toner is more difficult to find locally
HP printer is more expensive ($309 compared to $199)
If you have any advice or experience with these printers, I would appreciate it.
Chris
Austin, TX

hi cejones,
Did you end up finding a printer?
I'm looking as well. I have the Samsung clp-510 and while it's very reliable, the UI for mac is terrible. So terrible in fact that I still have it connected to a PC b/c their UI is much better for controlling colour etc..
i'm looking for a wireless solution.
Cheers
