Photoshop picture flicker black and white

Having an issue with Photoshop at the moment, it seems that sometimes when i open a new file it goes into this flickering behavior, almost as if i have asked it to do too much. If I check task manager though the RAM will still have around 2GB to go, therefore i don't believe RAM is the cause. Is anyone else experiencing or experienced the same issue and if so have you found the Cause/Solution to it?

Update your video driver from the website of the manufacturer of your graphics card. DO NOT rely on Windows Update or microsoft to do it.

I'm using Photoshop CC 2014, when I open a picture and movie it to a different Photoshop page, the picture turns black and white. How do I fix this problem?

Nobody can tell you anything without proper system info or other technical details since even your terminology is confusing. there are no "pages" in Photoshop. What you describe in vague terms could be anything from your target document having a different color mode/ color profile to some hardware acceleration issue, but we really can't make any sense of it based on your information.

Why does my photoshop keep giving black and white lines when I use my lasso tool?

why does my photoshop keep giving black and white lines when I use my lasso tool? It has never done this before last night. It filles the Whole lasso seleted box with (what it almost looks like) black and white caution lines. then when I go to zoom out, my zoom option starts to mess up where you cant click and move your mouse to zoom in/out with ease but where you have to click to zoom out (many times).
Can ANYONE help me?

I am using CS5, WIndows 7, I am not sure how to tell if my drivers are up to, and I am more than happy to screen shot it.

I have bought a Belkin composite cable from the apple store but the picture is black and white? The tv connection does require the red yellow white cables and that is the one I bought

You have the iPhone in your profile, but people's profiles here are often incomplete or very outdated. It's better to be specific. And part of the problem is that I can't find any Belkin composite cables for connecting an iPhone to a TV, either on the Apple Store or the Belkin site. The closest I found is this Belkin video cable, which doesn't specify exactly what kind of connection it is.
For the most relevant assistance, you've got to post in the iPhone forum and specify the cable by providing a link to exactly which cable you're using.

Original picture turns black and white when adding layer masks.

Creating a collage. Just placed a new object with a layer mask. Now I need to create a hue/saturation, levels adjustment layer and color balance adjustment layer all with masks. Ok, no problem, but when I do this, my original picture turns black and white. HELP!!! School project and has to be completed by Monday morning.
Thanks. Dawn

You haven't added a Hue/Saturation layer that's got Saturation turned all the way down, by chance?
It might be helpful if you'd capture a screen grab and post it here, showing your layers and channels panels. With a look at how things are organized knowledgeable folks here should be able to help or at least ask more direct questions.

How to colorize parts of a picture in black and white with Aperture?

Hello, I have a question: How to colorize parts of a picture in black and white with Aperture?

Use the Black & White Brick and then brush in or brush out.

Colored Pictures Turning Black and White in Certain Files (PSE 9.0)

Hey guys, how's it going?
I'll try to keep this breif, but it may take a little while to explain. I've been getting a problem with PSE 9.0 where an image or layer that is in color suddenly turns black and white when I paste it into an open file. It's a lot easier to explain with pictures, so here you go.
Figure 1
Figure 2
(Before anything else is said, I would like to point out the reasoning behind relating a middle-finger, a hammer and sickle, and a pony from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic into a single image; it's a parody project I'm working on. It's about 30 times weirder out of context, trust me.)
As you can see, the source imagery with "APPA JAK" on it (figure 1) is in full color, but when I pasted it onto the layer with the hammer and sickle, it turned black and white. This has become the same with a few other images I have found, but I couldn't find any reliable way to recreate the problem. The problem is also the same weather I find the pictures from the internet, copy those to my clipboard, and paste them or simply paste them from my computer.
If you need any more information (dxdiag, settings, etc. etc.) feel free to ask, and thanks in advance for helping me!

Just a guess because I don't have the original images to play with, but the hammer and sickle is a grayscale image so images posted into it become grayscale.
Use Image / Mode / RGB Color to change the target image to color before pasting anything into it.
Alternatively, use File / New to create a new image that is full color and paste everything into it.

Why is the TV picture only black and white?

When i print from the web pictures are black and white not color

Having trouble with printing from web the pictures are not color on;y black and white. Ink levels are fine and I have run cleaning and aligning tools. What other solutions am I missing?

I have tried 100%, AutoZoom, Page width,page fit and actual size and they are all the same size. About 2/3s the size it should be. My printer is set correctly
and I also reset the printer in msconfig as suggested by another helper. It changed to default and this has not helped. Do I need to reset the msconfig file back to user?

How to convert only part of a picture to black and white?

Hello. I just received PSE 8. I want to convert a photo of my daughter to b&w but I want to leave her eyes blue. Anyone know how I can do this? Thanks so much.

1. Find the smart brush tool (the brush with the gears on it)
2. Select a black and white conversion style in the options bar
3. Turn on Inverse
4. Drag over the eyes (they will stay blue and the rest of the photo will become b&w). If you turn Inverse off, the eyes will become b&w and the rest of the photo will stay in color

How do I make one part of a picture black and white and rest color?

I am working on new campaign for Vi-spring orange county. I need to take a photograph of a woman with a bare back sitting on a mattress and make part of the picture in black and white and the other part in color. I then need to insert an outline of a spine on top in a bright color. I would really appreciate some help on how to start.

I think what we need is a little more information.
When you say you want to make part of the image black and white, do you want to make certain areas of the image black and white or just do away with certain colors in the photo. You can do a selective color and get rid of all but one color ie. A red rose in a green field, take out all the green in the image and the red in the rose is the only thing that has color. Or you can take out one color and leave the rest of the colors in, so basically the oppsite of what I just explained.
If you want certain sections of a image black and white ie. a room with a bed in it make the whole room black and white and keep the bed in color...you need to look into masking.
If you want to do masking I can find you a tutorial for it, but I need to know if i'm on the right track.

Black and white pictures and raw format

I started to use raw format. however, when i shoot pictures in black and white and download them to bridge, they get converted to color pioctures. Does anybody know why and what to do about this?

In addition to this,
Raw is Raw, meaning it captures all the data your sensor was capable of. It creates also a jpeg preview extracted in camera from this Raw file to show at your camera viewer and as thumbnails on your computer.
You need a Raw converter to translate the Raw data to a picture in RGB (demosaicing they call this process).
And every setting you choose in camera for shooting is just added as metadata like all Raw settings in the Raw converter are added as metadata to reflect the changes you have made. If you want you can delete those data and start all over again with the original file because this stays as it was taken when shot, regardless all earlier applied settings.
Bridge uses Adobe Camera Raw for converting (demosaicing) the files and has it own code like others have their way of converting. It is possible that the vendor software delivered with your camera is capable of showing the in camera settings right away but then like Curt already stated it is just a reflection of your settings, the original is still the color image you have shot.
There are lots of ways (and far better then in camera setting) to convert your color image to black and white. Just start a google search for some video tutorials and choose the one you like best for your workflow.

Only opens in black and white...color is gone.

When I place a photo file into my new blank file in photoshop elements 5.0 (I know it's old) it will convert my picture to black and white. How do I get my photoshop to go back to opening my files as they are, in color??? PLEASE HELP!!!???

Next time you create a new blank file look at the color mode (towards the bottom of the new file window) and make sure that it's set to RGB, too. If the last thing you've copied in another program is text, PSE will start with that setting at grayscale and then everything you put into the file will turn black and white.

PSE Elements 9-convert to black and white not working.

I recently bought my wife a new HP computer with Windows 7 64bit and Photoshop Elements 9 to go with it. She has not had any problems up until today.. It seems when she attempts to convert a picture into black and white, photoshop freezes up. Sometimes it will convert the image but most of the time when you go to Enhance--convert to black and white, the little photo of what you want to conver that is on the right hand side of the screen just fills up with dots and then nothing appears on the work area.At that point you cannot close the application or anything else with out Ctrl.alt,delete. I have tried to change the programs compatibility to Windows Xp service pack 2 and 3 as well as running as admin but it does not fix this problem. As far as I know this only occurs when she tries to convert photos to black and white. What can we do? Is PSE9 not compatible with Windows 7 64?

Suggest that you delete preferences:
Preference settings control how Photoshop Elements displays images, cursors, and transparencies, saves files, uses plug‑ins and scratch disks, and so on. If the application exhibits unexpected behavior, the preferences file may be damaged. You can restore all preferences to their defaults.
Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift immediately after Photoshop Elements begins launching. Click Yes to delete the Adobe Photoshop Elements settings file.
A new preferences file is created the next time you start Photoshop Elements. For information on a specific preference option, search for the preference name in Help.

Adding color to an object in a black and white photo

Can someone please help? I just bought Aperture and I was wondering if it is possible to add color to an object in a black and white photo? or keep an object in color and turn the rest of the picture into black and white?
Thanks

Hi
I am 90% sure this cannot be specifically done in Aperture as it can in Photoshop.
I assume you mean adding spot colour to a B&W photograph.
You can choose an external editor such as Photoshop, if you have it, create the effect, and re-import the image back into Aperture.
There are some powerful colour controls for selectively improving colour in a photo within Aperture. Whereby you can make a particular colour stand out more by selectively adjusting the red, blue,cyan,magenta, yellow colour's. These are accessed via the colour controls in the adjustments inspector.
You can create B&W images with two tones (of your choice) by using the Monochrome mixer ( in the adjustments panel )
Or you can create colour monochrome effects by using the colour monochrome effects slider ( in the adjustments panel, where you see a + sign with a downward pointing arrow ) click the arrow and select "colour monochrome" from the menu, it will appear at the bottom of the adjustments panel.
Give some of these a go..... play around with it, you can get some stunning result's..........
Hope this helps some.......
