Mixing Color and Black & White

Does anyone know how to produce a monchrome photo with a little bit of color in it.
i.e. A picture of a bride at a wedding holding a bouquet of roses. I want the whole picture monchrome with just the roses being colored red.
Please point me in the right direction

That's a great idea and with the right photo it can give a really good effect. Use adjustment layers just like silkrooster is saying. Here's a tutorial of using the adjustment layers (black & white effect). You should get your answer there.

Printing in color or black & white in VB6 and Crystal Reports 8.5

Post Author: elsyvaldez
CA Forum: General
How can I programatically print in color or black & white? I am programming in Visual Basic 6.0 using the Crystal Reports 8.5 Active X Designer Runtime Report object (CRAXDRT.dll). Our users want the option to print either in color or black & white to a color printer. I am trying to print many separate reports (for a large group of accounts) in one click of the VB6 "Print" command button without having to display the Printer Setup dialog box for each separate report. The Report object in CRAXDRT has a method to display the printer setup dialog box but has no property to change "Color" mode (similar to the "PaperOrientation" or "PrinterDuplex" properties). Is there a way that our users can bring up the Printer Setup dialog box just once, choose color mode, and then make this choice effective for all separate reports printed using CRAXDRT?

Hi Sastry
I can print multiple pages from notepad without any issues. It is only the print from the crystal OCX control that has the issue. It has it's own print dialog box.
Thanks
Peter

Combining color and black-and-white pages in a single pdf

I have a document in which I have a few images with colors. The document needs to be printed but currently the whole document is in color so the costs are expensive. I want to convert the pages without the images to black-and-white and keep the color pages as is. I saw that it is possible to convert the colors of a pdf document from color to black-and-white using Acrobat Professional. Is it possible to convert only certain pages? If not, I am thinking of spliting my document, converting the text pages, and then merging them back with the color pages. Will that keep the original color settings? Basically - can I have some pages in gray scale and others in color within the same document? Thanks!
(The document is to be printed elsewhere, so I can't just print separately the gray scale and color pages).

You you separate the pages, convert the colors spaces and recombine, each page will retain the new color space.

How can I convert RGB Color to Black-White Color?

Dear everyone!
I am using Photoshop CS5. I have got a file from my customer which is done as RGB and the resolution is 300dpi. There are black texts and color images in the file. I wish to print Black-White Process Film (1 black color), but I don't know how to solve it. I started converting my file to Grayscale and then the black texts are not black enough because it becomes lighter. When I go to Level and adjust the color, both the image and texts becomes darker. What must I do to make only texts blacker without effecting the image?
Please find the attached file for the reference.
For more information, please let me know.
My Best Regards,
LUCK

What file format was supplied to you? Was it truly RGB @ 300ppi or did you rasterize a PDF?
300ppi is lousy for text. You might converse with your customer to instruct them on the ideal way to supply a file to you.

Camera Raw and Black & White Pictures

I am using Potoshop Elements 7.0 and I just downloaded the latest camera raw (5.2). However, both with the old and new camera raw plug when I import black & white pictures from my Nikon D80 in NEF format I see them as colour pictures in the PSE organizer. How can I keep the original format (black and white in this case) while importing the pictures?

Your images are indeed color pictures. That's their original format. When you think you're shooting B&W, the camera built-in software just adds a flag for the camera manufacturer's raw converter to render them as B&W. ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) ignores that flag and leaves it up to you to convert the images to B&W through the method of your choice.

Adding Color to Black & White Photo

I have PE 9 and I know how to change a photo from Color to Black and White. I am having trouble adding color back to the photo...Could someone please help me selectively add color to my now black and white photo.
Thanks in advance.

That's the easiest.
Open your full colour image.
Choose the Smart Brush tool I showed in my previous post.
On the Options bar for the tool,
hit the dropdown arrow (1).
Hit the effects dropdown box and choose "Black and White" (2).
Select "Grayscale" (3).
Set your brush to a small size.
Paint over the areas you want to be in Black & White. The brush automatically selects entire areas as you paint.
If it goes too far, set the brush to "minus"
and paint over the excess area to return it to the original colour.
The automatic selection kind of "learns" what you want, so by going back and forth between "plus" and "minus", you'll ultimately get what you want.

JText Area( mixing colors and fonts)

Hi,
I`m trying to implement a JTextArea that allows the user to type away quite happilly in a default font and color, but if needed they can click a button, and then when they resume typing it will display the new text in a different font and color. Is this possible? If so, how?
At the moment when they click the button, all the previous text as well as the new text changes to the new font.
Basically I was wondering if it was possible for a JTextArea to display text of vaying fonts and colors.
Thanx in advance.

Try using a textPane instead. Combine this with a RTFTextEditor and you can use every available font,color and other attributes on every part of your text. There are lots of examples about this subject (even some of mine as well) so just search the forum archive.
Hope this will get you in the right way...

Hello, I have a Macbook Pro 17'' 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7 (2011). I dont know what happened but the pixels on black or dark areas on my monitor are displayed in a flickering red color, and on white areas are light blue. Any idea??

Hello,
I have a Macbook Pro 17'', 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7 (late 2011). I dont know what happened but the screen shows red flickering pixels everywhere where it should be black, and light blue pixels where it should be gray, I had this problem twice, the first time it just disappeared by itself. Now it's been like this for days, I have really no clue.
Anyone with the same problem or solution?
This is how it looks like:
Thanx

Is that a camera picture or a screen-shot? Is there any difference? i.e., can you capture the problems in a screen shot, or not?

How do I convert color to black & white or grayscale in InDesign CS3?

I'm working with a number of publications which require some advertisements to be in grayscale or black and white. Short of changing all of my pictures to grayscale before I import, is there a way to manipulate the color within InDesign? And some of the images I am importing are PDFs, which are even harder to manipulate--is there a way to do this in InDesign at all?
Thanks!

>You can produce a grayscale PDF by printing to a Postscript file,
choosing Output > Color > Composite gray, and Distilling the PS file
(assuming you have the full version of Acrobat).
If you have a full version of Acrobat you can do that in one step by choosing AdobePDF as the printer. :)

Camera: Color vs black & white

Just today my iPhone 5 started taking photos in black and white. For a short time I had an option to change to color in "filters". But that option is no longer available. Any thoughts? Did I accidentally change a setting? Where are the settingS?

I worked on the problem and discovered that I was trying to edit from my photo stream. I switched to camera roll and was able to edit back to color. Evidentally photo stream mode does not support color editing.
Thank you

Convert image from color to black&white

Hi,
I'd like to transform a colored picture (from a gif or jpeg file for
exemple) in a Black and White image (wbmp format). I use a
ColorConvertOp to do that, but I don't know how to param it to have a nice
conversion, not a pixel level conversion. Here is the code I used:
BufferedImage bi4 = new BufferedImage(bi3.getWidth(), bi3.getHeight(),
BufferedImage.TYPE_BYTE_BINARY);
ColorConvertOp cco2 = new
ColorConvertOp(ColorSpace.getInstance(ColorSpace.CS_GRAY), null);
cco2.filter(bi3, bi4);
Where bi3 is my original BufferedImage.
Do you know where I can find more information on this conversion, because in
the help I don't understand everything (I have no knowledge on picture
conversion)?
Thanks for all
Vincent

Colour and Black & White Images

Hello,
I was just wondering about how can i classify or check if:
an image is colour or black and white?
Thank you very much for your help.

Couple of ideas....
Some graphic file formats give the number of
colours.
if that is 2, then it's a monochrome picture
But I think the real question you're asking is, how
can I tell if an image is
grey scale.
You'd have to go through each pixel in the image, and
check.
When specifying colours in RGB, grey colours are
easy enough to check.
Eg.
( 0, 0, 0 ), ( 100, 100, 100 ), ( 148, 148, 148
)..... ( 255, 255, 255 )
So, if I'm correct.... the following function would
check a single pixel....
public boolean isGreyScale ( Colour aPixelColour )
int r = aPixelColour.getRed();
int g = aPixelColour.getGreen();
int b = aPixelColour.getBlue();
if ( ( r == g ) && ( g = b ) )
return ( true );
else
return ( false );
}regards,
OwenThe problem is that my program is a image searcher tool.
I have a large number of images and i need a good searching technique. If i have to go through each pixel in every image, it will take too long for an effective application.
thank you very much for your help

Adding Color to Black & White Photos

Does CS6 have new tools &/or procedures for photo retouch particularly
adding color effects to B/W photos?

The short answer is maybe!
There is no magic button you can press to add colour to a B&W image. You can however, remove all but selected colours from a colour image and achieve (for example) a B&W portrait of a lady holding a red rose. You can also have green leaves with just a couple of extra steps too.
If this is what you are looking for, let us know. I'm sure you'll get a heap on replies.
