Mask gradiant black and white no matter what color is chosen

My mask gradiant is black and white not matter what color I choose. How do I fix that?

You may wonder about that from now on until:
1.  When someone expresses difficulty understanding you, describe just what you mean, using different terms.
2.  Use whole paragraphs.  Maybe even more than one.  This isn't instant messaging.
Your phrase "mask gradiant" (assuming one reads through the misspelling) could mean many things.  You haven't provided enough context to know what you really mean.
If I put a gradient into a mask it may be because I want the image on a layer to fade away, revealing what's underneath.  The gradient can only be grayscale (black, gray, or white) - it cannot be colored.
I can't imagine why you would want to color a mask.  It makes no sense.  What are you really trying to accomplish?  Did someone tell you that you could do this?
Perhaps you're using the terms "mask" or "gradient" incorrectly, or for something that is really called something else.

  • After turning an image black and white, how can I color in a certain area?

    After turning an image black and white, how can I color in a certain area?

    How did you change it? Did you make your B&W on a separate layer? If so, just erase the part of the layer you don't want, or add a layer mask and paint with black over the parts you want to hide.
    If not, then you can copy/paste the original photo (you will need to press ctrl+A/cmd+A to select all before you can copy) into the new image. From there it depends on the relative proportions of B&W. Arrange the two layers so the one with the most area that you want to keep is on top, and either mask out the rest or just erase it away.
    For future reference, an easier way to do this when starting from scratch is to use the smart brush. Choose a black and white conversion style, turn on the inverse checkbox and paint over the part you want in color. The rest of the photo turns black and white, leaving what you paint over in the original colors.

    What program are you using - Photoshop Elements or Premiere Elements, what version, and on what computer operating system is it running?
    If you are using Photoshop Elements and not Premiere Elements, you have posted in the wrong forum. In that case, you want to post in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum. Somehow your thread got posted in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum (video editing).

  • HP 8500 All-in-one printer - how can I print in black and white only (to save color ink)?

    I want to be able to select the option of printing in black and white only to save color ink.  How can I do that?

    What operating system? You can generally find an option for "Print in grayscale" and "Black ink only" in the Color or Advanced tab of the Printer Settings.
    Some color ink will still be used to keep the printheads from clogging, see here for information.  (The Officejet 8500 is an IIC printer in the vocabulary of that page.)

  • My black and white pictures show up colored

    My photos aren't the same as the filter I used in the camera when I was taking the picture, for example my black and white photos show up colored.

    Have you checked your ink levels and the inkjet jets for plugging?

  • Making pictures that are black and white but still have color someplace(s)

    Is there a way in aperture to make pictures black and white but still leave color on some objects. for example, having a picture of someone holding a glass of red wine and having everything except the wine black and white?

    A couple of ways this can be done
    - non destructively:
    Use the Color adjustment to reduce the saturation of all the colors you dont want,
    and leave only the saturation of the saturation of the color you do want.
    Use the Ranges to more selectively choose the right color you want to leave.
    - destructively:
    Use the Dodge&Burn plug-in from Apple.
    Set the brush to Desaturate, choose its strength and size appropriately.
    Then just desaturate all the area's that need to be desaturated.

  • Playback on TV is only is only black and white, any idea what setting is causing this. It is played back via a Denon asd-11r.

    RAW capture includes color information. The b/w is just a camera setting like white balance that does not change the actual capture of "RAW" image data (which is why we can easily change exposure, WB etc. during post processing edits of RAW captures).
    Your solution is to shoot RAW + JPEG capture. The JPEGs will have the camera mods like b/w; or the RAWs can be converted to b/w using Aperture or an image editor like GIMP or Pixelmator.
    In the past if pix remained b/w upon import it was because you were seeing the camera JPEGs, not RAW.

  • When I import my photos into lightroom 4 they all turn to black and white...what is going on?

    When importing the photos are color...but when I go to the develop module the all start going to black and white...before my eyes!

    sounds like you either got a black and white preset selected in the 'Apply During Import' section of the Import Dialog (over on the right), or you've created a default setting in Develop. For the first, make sure no Develop preset is selected. For the second hold down your Alt key on PC, or Option key on Mac in the Develop Module. The Reset button will turn into 'Set Default...' on the bottom of the right panel. This will open a dialog box. Choose the left button that says 'Restore Adobe Default Settings'.

  • Black and White... with color.

    Hello, I have a project to do on bullying. I have a clip of a kid walking down a hallway, with brightly colored posters behind him. I want to make the entire shot black and white, but yet still have the posters have color, and continue to have color as he walks down the hall. Any ideas on how I do this?
    A fast reply would be great, thanks.
    Eric.

    You may be able to get that effect to work out relatively well by applying a black and white effect and then using PrPro's CC's Masking and Tracking feature to mask out the posters and track them through the shot. But since it sounds like you have multiple posters and considerable movement, you will need to use After Effects which has a full set of features for what you need. Either way, it will take time but can be especially daunting in AE. Here is a tutorial to start with if you plan to utilize the more established Pr + AE workflow (as opposed to trying to do it all inside of Pr):

  • I have trouble reading in Black and White. changing the background color for all

    I have trouble reading in Black and White. On my PC I can change the background  color (and I am not just talking about for a word or pages document) but for eveything so anything that was a white background I can put in what ever color I like but it still prints in Black and white.. I can't see how to do this on the Macbook air. on my PC I do this in display. Sort of putting colored film over the screen I dont know what to do. Can anyone help?

    Hello Floridamacbookpro,
    You may be interested in the 'invert colors' Accessibility feature. This can be invoked by pressing the Control, Option, Command, and 8 keys on your keyboard. This only affects your display, and does not have any affect on printed items.
    Mac OS X displays inverted image colors (white on black, reverse type)

  • Why black and white photo changed back color after exported?

    The photo I took shows up in black and white but after I exported the photo, none are black and white.  Why is that?
    I can see it as black and white while on the iphone.

    You need to duplicate your color photo. 
    1. Open your color photo in PSE11 Full Edit expert tab (A raw photo will open in camera raw so click the open image button too send it to the PSE interface)
    2. On the Top menu click Layer >>Duplicate Layer >>OK
    3. On the top menu click Enhance >>Convert to Black & White >>OK
    4. If you can’t see the layers pallet to the right click Window >>Layers
    5. In the layers pallet click add layer mask (the icon with a small circle)
    6. Make sure your foreground color is set to black then select the brush tool
    7. Click the mouse over the area where you wish to reveal color and use like an eraser to reveal the background below
    8. To correct errors switch the foreground color to white, then switch back to black and continue
    9. Save as PSD to preserve your layers and if you wish make a jpeg copy from the PSD file using File >> Save As
    N.B. if your brush is too big or too small you can use the square bracket keys to adjust the size up or down.
    The smart brush tool has black & white options but it does involve making selections which can be more tricky than using the ordinary brush.

  • My black and white printing has a color tint to it. How do I change this?

    It seems like whenever I print anything that is supposed to be just black and white, such as a word document, the black is not a true black--it has a colored tint. I originally thought this was a printer issue and contacted tech support for the printer, but they identified it as a computer issue once we hooked up multiple printers to the iMac and the same thing kept happening. There is no setting I can find in the computer to change this because I don't know what its called. Any help would be appreciated!

    the first printer it did it on was a canon mp460, the second it did it on was an HP 4400 series, the third it is currently doing it on is an HP officejet 4500. I have tried changing the settings in the print dialog box to the b&w or grayscale, it still does the tinted black.
    I had the canon mp180. I have the HP psc 1209 now.  I haven't seen this problem with 10.4.11.
    Curiously, I heard of this problem with some Ubuntu drivers. Turned you their conversion program GhostPrint could only convert to either black or color. The color convert resulted in grey black. It was with an HP printer.  Ubuntu & Mac OS X share some of the same print technology.
    I see you have iMac, Mac OS X (10.4.9).  I suggest you upgrade to 10.4.11.  Pick one of the combo updates referenced on this page:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
    Regardless of the print problem, you should upgrade. Do you have wireless, if so you will need to reconfigure.

  • Can I print in black and white with an empty color cartridge on a HP Officejet Pro 8100 printer ?

    Only the cyan cartridge is empty, all of the other 3 cartridges are fine. I ordered the cyan cartridge online but I need to print important documents today. The power button is blinking when I try to print.
    I don't understand, black and white should not use a color cartridge to print.
    Is there a trick so I can print before receiving the cyan cartridge ?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    The Officejet Pro 8100 ePrinter has the same print mechanism as its All-in-One counterpart the Officejet Pro 8600.  This printer has a printhead mechanism that contains 4 individual cartridges: CMYK (cyan/magenta/yellow/black).  
    One will have to replace the cartridge, if the unit provides a message of one of the colors being empty, before the unit will resume printing.  It is a maintenance mechanism to prevent the product from self-damage.  Hope this helps.
