Hello and welcome to the forum.
Yes, if you're using Final Cut Pro and not Final Cut Express (I think). Take a look here http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/cc_legalfcp4.html You'll have to scroll down a little.
Good luck and happy New Year.

Black and White with a Little Color.

I'm interested in making a black and white movie with indivdual isolated
objects in color. For example, the entire room and everything in it is black
and white except a cell phone.
Do I have to shoot in color and then correct in post?

Aperture black and white filters making images blotchy

Hello All!
I'm having some odd issues with Aperture and using the black and white filters: mainly red and orange filters. I have tested this with different cameras (all raw) including Nikon D700, Olympus E-M5, Canon 5D mk3, Nikon D800; all exibit the same issue. I have also had a friend test this on Lightroom and the problem did not appear.
Picture a landscape with a blue sky. Upon adding a red filter, and sometimes orange, the dramatic dark sky one would expect with such filters becomes blotchy. It looks somewhat like bad JPEG compression or noise from high ISO images but these pictures are all generally ISO 100 or 200. Sadly, this prevents me from printing these images so I've had to find other ways of processing them. Even when exported as a 16-bit TIFF, the problem persists.
Anyone have any thoughts? Experienced this themselves? Thanks for any thoughts!

Thanks Kirby... I have checked the channels but perhaps there is something I'm missing. Here is a screenshot of a random image I have but it shows the issue well. These are at 100%, ISO 200, red, orange, no filter (respectively). The histogram is from the original. No other post processing done. The red is the worst offender... the orange isn't as bad but it can be worse on certain images.

Why are my duotone images turning black and white when put in indesign?

why are my duotone images turning black and white when put in indesign?
I have been playing duo and montotone images into indesing with no trouble. Then all of a sudden as I placew them they go black and whitre. I have tried everything from re saving, re making in photoshop and differant colours et5c. But nothing seems to wrok. The images already in my document arew fine it is just new ones. If someone could help that would be great

Can you start a new document and then load one of the duotones known to be good in the working file and have it correct? If so, try one of the duotones known to be bad in the working document in the new file. Does it work?
If no to either suggestion, can you share one of the images known to be good and one known to be bad? ZIP 'em up and upload to dropbox and plop a link here. Or, to keep the file sizes down, you can quickly make a new set and provide those.
As well, the ID version and OS info would probably be helpful.
Take care, Mike

How do I make image backgrounds black and white while maintaining color in the foreground objects?

I have a close up close-up image of an orchid with blurred background. I am trying to make the background black and white while maintaining the foreground color on the petals, buds and stems. Any ideas?

Use the Blank & White Brick and either brush the effect onto the background or brush is away from the foreground. "Detect Edges" will help control the edge of the mask.
You might be interested in knowing that you can brush on/away masks of different strengths, and thus produce effects in between 0% and 100%.
Search the forum -- there are several good posts detailing how to create this effect.

How can I turn an image black and white?

I want to edit an image I have inserted into a pages document. I can't see a way to easily change the colouring of the photo to black and white. Using the bars seems to make the colouring look a little odd. Any suggestions?

In Pages v5.2.2, the quickest way to transform a photo to b/w is to select the photo, and on the right panel's Image tab — completely desaturate the image. Tweak the Exposure for tonality adjustments.

Setting Black and White as the default when printing to a Canon Image Class 4080i

Hi,
I've got two Canon Image Class 4080i's that we are printing to at the school I work at. I have installed the Canon UFRII V2.40 Printer Driver for Mac OS X and we are able to print to them fine through any macbook running 10.5 to 10.7. My question is, how do I make the default printer setting be Black and White instead of color? I know how to change it from Color to Black and White by navigating to the Quality menu through the Print screen but I have to do this every time I print. Is there a way to make black and white the default?
Thanks in advance,
Cheryll

You’re really going to take photos straight out of camera on a 5d3 and print them with a blindly applied B&W conversion from the printer? I would highly discourage that, but if that’s what you want to do I’m sure it’s possible. Sorry, I have no experience with that printer so I can’t help.
Do you have a laptop? My recommendation would be to use a photo processing software like Lightroom (if you don’t have it LR5 is ridiculously cheap right now), play around before the event to get a B&W conversion that you like – even the preset ones are going to be better than whatever conversion the printer does - and then print from LR. It’d hardly take any extra time, and you could get a brief review of the conversions on a laptop screen before printing.

PSE 8 coloring a black and white image

Okay, so I downloaded a free trial of PSE 8, so my experience with it is limited, which may contribute to my problem. I've watched tutorials on how to add color to a black and white photo using the paintbrush tool, though I haven't watched one for PSE 8.
I'll make a new layer, paint part of the picture, and then add another layer. But when I click a different color to paint with, it changes the color of what I already painted, even though I'm on a different layer.
Also when I tried to just save the image with one part painted, it didn't save it, and the image looked as it did originally.
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Hi,
Are you using the right tool to paint on a layer?
For coloring a black and white image, you need to save different areas of your image on a different layer and then use either Paint brush or a Paint bucket tool.
It seems that you are selecting a wrong tool. For selecting Brush, press B.
Then try painting on one part of the image and then go to the the color swatch present at the end of the tools panel on the left as :
Now click on the foreground color swatch(on the top) to change the color with which you want to paint.This will not change the color of other layers on changing the color.

Scaling 1-bit bitonal black and white images

I have an image of a document that was scanned
black-and-white (1-bit color depth) that I need to display and
scale. When I use Flex's built in Image.Scale it scales very
"choppy" and unreadable. When I scale the same image in Photoshop,
it seems to use much more antialiasing, and the form is clearly
recognizable, even at just 125 pixels wide.
Is there a way to get Flex to use a better scaling algorithm
for 1-bit images? It seems to do a smashing-good job with
full-color image scaling.

thx for answering
You understood right, I have enough memory for saving 1-bit images, but
Graphics.drawImage(Image img, int x, int y, int anchor) can draw only RGB images so each time I want to draw some image, I have to remake 1-bit images into RGB images, it takes a lot time, so I need to make some optimization
My application draws symbols, but symbols are presented by Glyphs, so I draw some black&white Glyphs

Inverted black and white images in iPhoto 6

After I recently upgraded to OS X 10.4.8, a number of black and white images in my iPhoto 6 library started showing up inverted (like negatives) when I open them. The thumbnails, however, are in regular black and white. This didn't happen using OS X 10.4.3. I can't seem to find a tool in iPhoto 6 to convert these images to the correct display. Do you have any explanations or suggestions?
Macintosh PowerPC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

iPhoto 6 does not work well with Grayscale. You'll need to convert them to sRGB. They'll still be black & white, but they'll have a color profile that iPhoto 6 will accept. Old Toad created an Automator application to embed the sRGB profile into your photos. Go to his Toad's Cellar and download the "Embed wRGB Color Profile 2" App. In Finder go in your Originals folder, then drop a roll folder containing these photos onto the app.

Colour in black and white digital image

how do i colour in a black and white digital image please. I have never used this programme before, so any idiots guide you can give me would be great.

Go to Image Menu>Mode and be sure that RGB color is checked
Open your image, duplicate the background layer, shut off the visibility of this layer by clicking on the eye icon, and work on background copy layer
Set your foreground color chip to red (I used this for the blouse)
In the tool box, activate the magic wand tool. On the tool's option bar, check "contiguous", and set tolerance to 40.
Click on the blouse. You will see "marching ants", indicating that the blouse is selected
Go to Edit menu>Fill selection and under contents use foreground color
Press CTRL+D on keyboard to get rid of the marching ants
Next I worked on the skirt with green foreground color, and repeated steps 2-5. And so on .
Note, that in order to get a clean selection you may have to reduce the tolerance setting. For the skirt-hem, I had to go down to 8 in each pleat.
Here is a partially completed rendition for your reference.

Making black and white copies with the tri- color ink

I would like to know if using tri-color ink to print blank and white copies, drain the color ink too much when compared to using a black ink?

Hello @Rajeeeram,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you would like information regarding ink usage when copying and printing to your HP ENVY 5643 e-All-in-One Printer. I would like to offer my assistance with this today.
When you copy from your printer, the unit will only use the cartridge that matches the Black or Colour copy that you're performing. If you're performing a Black copy from your HP Envy, only the black cartridge will be used. If you're performing a Colour copy from your HP Envy, only the colour cartridge will be used. Therefore, you cannot perform Black copies with the Tri-Colour cartridge.
When you print from your computer, the computer may send the print job to the printer as an image file. Therefore, even if you are printing a black only document, colour ink may be used to enrich the document. Should this happen, you would be using colour ink without even realizing it.
On your computer you can set your printer to Black Ink Only if you do not want colour to be used in black and white documents. However, in order for me to walk you through adjusting this setting, I will need to know what Operating System you're using on your computer.
What's my OS?
I hope this helps clear up any confusion
