"Placing" color images only B&W?

I'm a novice PS user.
When I place a color .jpg image, it places as a B&W image even though the image is in color.
Am I doing something wrong or using the wrong function?

What is the color space of the document you are placing the jpg into? Like, if you start off with file, new, 'x' size - make sure you select RGB color image (?)

I am able to get color images in the continues shot but when i try to snap a color image which i need for my processing i get only a monocrome image

I have been using lv_vfw.llb VI's for grabbing images from a CREATIVE WEB CAM ,i am able to get color images in the continues shot but when i try to snap a color image which i need for my processing i get only a monocrome image ,i have been trying to play around with the RGB weightings but i am unable to get a color iamge,it shall be of great help if you could help me in doing this as it is urgent for me.Thanks for your help.

vicky,
I am unfamiliar with the lv_vfw.llb, and have not used it before. However, I noticed that you stated that you are able to grab in color, just not snap in color. If this is the case, why not just perform a grab and then extract a single buffer from this grabbed data, which would likely be in color? This seems like a possible solution to the issue that you are seeing.
Other than that, I really don't know enough about the lv_vfw.llb to be of much help on this issue. Hopefully another member of this forum will be able to assist you with this software.

Save for web color shift - only on images smaller than 150x150px

I'm getting a color shift only on small images (150x150px or smaller) when I save for web in Photoshop CC and CS6. That's very weird as it doesn't happen to images larger than 150x150px! That issue happens with images with different measurements as well (e.g. rectangle), the small looks dull and the larger display the right color.
My Color Settings are set to "Monitor Color". Under save for web I have the following options not ticked: Embed Color Profile and Convert to sRGB. (viget.com/inspire/the-mysterious-save-for-web-color-shift)
I'm running the OS X 10.8.4 on a macbook pro, I tested that on both, Safari 6.0.5 and FF.
The squares in the screenshot were saved exatly the same way. The largerer displays the right color #FFCB32, but the smaller displays the color wrong.
I appreciate your help.
Cheers

How to use a grayscale color model in converting a colored image

how to convert a colored image into grayscale using :
ColorSpace cs = ColorSpace.getInstance(ColorSpace.CS_GRAY);
int bits[] = new int[] {8};
ColorModel cm = new ComponentColorModel(cs, bits, false, false,
Transparency.OPAQUE,
DataBuffer.TYPE_BYTE);
please only this method , i don't need the "bandcombine" method cause i need to know that i have exact 256 grayscale colors, thanx in advance.

I went into mail preferences in the first place. I found the fonts and colors and picked the color I want but it doesn;t seem to be sticking?

Problem using IMAQ Array to Color Image vi

I am doing some pixel manipulation & while going from an image to an Image Pixels (U64) array using IMAQ Color Image to Array VI I cannot see the image once it is modified.
I am...
1) converting the image to the 64 bit pixel data using IMAQ ColorImage to Array.vi
2) doing the manipulation
3) converting back to an image using the IMAQ Array to ColorImage.vi using the 64 bit input.
What I get is...
1) a black image with data behind it... meaning... if I take the magnifier tool and go to the approximate locations of my image where I expect to find the manipulated data, it is there.
2) cast that image to a 32 bit image & still get a black image for the output. The data however is no longer there and appears to have been stripped.
3) no error's out of any VI's...
TIA

With Vision 2009 situation is not better.
It happened because U64 image displayed in full scale. So, if you have full range of intensities (from 0 to 65535), then you can see something. But if your intensities in small range, for example, 0...255 in all channels, then you will see black image.
Feel differences:
It should be possible to map U16 values into U8 display range with given range (like IMAQ WindDisplay Mapping does), but right now this feature available for I16 images only, not for U64. What you can do is following - map each channel to U8 (with linear LUT, for example), put channels together, then display 32 bit RGB instead of U64.

Bridge displays color images as b&w

I assume this has something to do with settings in Bridge CS4, my platform is MacBook Pro OS 6.8.10.
This question might confuse some people. To beging with, I do shoot my images in RAW files, I even have Bridge convert them to DNG files.
Upon download the images are displayed in color as they should be for RAW files. After editing images in Camera RAW, I convert most all images to sRGB. When some of those edited images come back to Bridge, they might be presented in B&W, though no color is lost to the file upon displaying in Photoshop, and I did not edit the file to be a B&W image. I have DNG, Canon RAW, Tif and Jpeg files, and most of these are displayed in color, but some are not, and I have not figured out the missing link just yet. So to be clear, I have Jpeg color images, displaying as b&w images, but they are color images. Only b&w images should be displayed as b&w.
This problems started once I learned I could edit one image in photoshop out of a series of images, then after editing, i could bring the single photo file back to bridge, and then copy/paste image settings onto a groups of images in Bridge, and all those images would then have the same adjustments made to them as a batch edit adjustment.
But now sometimes I get a B&W display on some images even when I do not apply a Bridge settings edits, and when I never edited the image for a B&W display. I has to a setting somewhere in Bridge, and I just have not figured it out yet.
Thanks in advance for all suggestions:

Yammer asked a pertinent question that remains unanswered—is that “settings” badge (small lines-triangles-in-a-circle) shown on the B/W image thumbnails (at least). If you’re not sure, then include a screenshot of a few Bridge thumbnails where some are color and some are B/W, using the little camera icon on the web version of the forum messages.
And the answer is NO!. I only have those showing up associated with the .DNG files (Camera RAW)
Another similar question would be if you see a B/W thumbnail in Bridge, try doing a right-click (or whatever the Mac equivalent is) and choose Open in Camera Raw. Is the image in B/W or color in Camera Raw.
A <Control Click> (on MAC), opens the .jpeg file in b&w, as shown in the thumbnail.
Can you upload three versions of one of the images that display as B/W: the original PSD/raw/TIF file, a normal Save As JPG that is in color, and a Save For Web JPG that is B/W? Use something like http://www.dropbox.com/ and post a public download link to the images, here.
NO, I thought I explained that real well. Only the .jpeg file that was saved through the "Save for Web" processing ( that is, the a jpeg the goes through greater compression to reduce image file size for web display), is the image file process that produces the b&w thumbnail in Bridge ONLY. All opened images, of various file formats (ie: DNG, Psd, Tif, Jpeg, & Jpeg for Web), all present Color presentations (for editing in Photoshop, and or in display browsers). It is only the thumbnail of that particular jpeg formatting processing for Web Images that produces the b&w image "THUMBNAIL" in Bridge.
When you Save As JPG or For Web, are you ever overwriting the original image with a new one or do you always save the PS-edited image with a new name?
No, never. I leave my RAW files, as RAW originals, and work on newly names images files.
A theory about what is happening is that Bridge uses Camera Raw to generate its thumbnails, and the images that are B/W have some embedded Camera Raw setting, perhaps pasted from a different filetype, that makes CR think the image should be rendered as B/W, but when you open the images on Photoshop, you are opening them directly, without using the Camera Raw plug-in, so any embedded settings are ignored, and the image displays in its original state without the settings having been applied.
It makes since, (what you are saying), and it certainly does respond in that fashion. Your suggestion to open Ctrl Click, or Right Click to open the thumbnail in Camera RAW, was an interesting test, and the response was to open the previously save color image with a b&w thumbnail, into Camera RAW as a b&w image. So Camera RAW is responding to what is in the xmp settings that describes this images thumbnail to be displayed b&w. It is weird that a browser does not.
As to what is in the window selections for the "Save for Web" editing windows, Presets for jpeg are :
Progressive
Optimize
Embed Color Profile
And I use Embed Color Profile.
Even the Preview button at the bottom of the window, shows the color image as displaying color.
I vaguely remember about a year ago doing some CS 4 Photoshop and Bridge web tutorials from an unnamed tutoring website and guy named D_k_ . It is his fault. Just kidding, I actually enjoy those tutorial.
**** Okay, this is perhaps originating from Camera RAW presets, where you can apply previously made settings to other images and then saved them as Presets. Though I don't have this checked in Camera RAW ( still something goofy is going on there), I did find that in Bridge I can reset the individual "saved for Web" image thumbnail back to the the color image by :
Right Click (Ctrl Click, MAC) on the thumbnail
menu down to the "Development Settings" and select :
"Previous Conversion", and this presents the color thumbnail.
I have now tested all the Camera RAW settings in Camera RAW, by opening an image in each one of these :
Image Settings
Camera RAW Defaults
Previous Conversion
Custom Settings
and then reducing image file size, and saving for the web, while changing file name, and each and every one of these Settings produces a Sepia Toned thumbnail. I found out the images were a subtle Sepia Toned image by enlarging the Bridge Thumbnails bigger for a better view. So I can correct the thumbnail after it has been created, but so far, I can't get the thumbnail to be correct on first creation of the web saved jpeg image file. Regular jpeg image file thumbnails save correctly.

IMAQ FFT of a color image

In LABVIEW 2011 Is there a way to do an IMAQ FFT on a color image? The only thing that seems to work is on gray scale images. When I try to use a color RGB(U32) image, the FFT vi errors out with "Invalid ImageType".
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Resolution Decrease.vi ‏46 KB

Thank you for the prompt reply Daniel.
What we are attempting is a de-resolution of a hi resolution image to simulate what a 1-4 reduction in resolution using a fiber optic taper will look like to a customer without having to built a very expensive actual optical system. If it proves to be an acceptable resolution, then we can move forward. The point is we need a fiberoptic imaging system due to environmental issues prevernting having an actual camera up close to the work being inspected.
So the idea is to convert the image to an FFT, remove any frequency component above the resolution we would see through the optical magnification, then recreate the image via a reverse FFT. Does that sound feasible or is there a simpler method of simulating a lowering of the resolution of an image? We can work on the gray scale image, as I believe this will prove acceptable for our demonstration. If color is required, we can talk about splitting up the color planes.
Warm regards,
Randy

Oracle Reports - Unable to generate report with colored image in bitmap mod

Hi,
I am using Oracle reports 6i.
I am generating a post script[.ps] file using bitmap mode.
The layout contains an image. The image is stored in oracle database which is colored image.
But when the report is generated same is being generated with gray color.
Could any one advise on resolving this issue? The objective is to generate the report with colored image and not gray or black&white

What kind of images do you have? Reports only supports a few formats, e.g. JFIF. So, if you have JPG images with EXIF meta information in the header, you have to remove those first.
when the report is generated same is being generated with gray color.What happens if you sent the output directly to the printer?
And what happens if you create a PDF file instead of Postscript?

Flicker while redrawing an Image (only one)

I've made an RBGFilter for Images and Combined it with a Thread
to make an Image fade from Color to Grayscale.
I use it together with an home made JComponent. It works, but the Image flickers.
I've tried longer sleep periods (I thougt that maybe the filter was to slow) but it still flickered when changing the Image. I tried dubbel buffering, but couldn't get it to change the Image. Anyway, I suppose double buffering wouldn't help much, while it's only one Image to be drawn and it covers the entire Component.
Does anyone have a clue about how to do?? You'll get plenty of Duke Dollars!
(in the fade class)
public void run()
try{
while( !Thread.interrupted() ){
Thread.sleep( 70 );
//Change colors:
Image tmpImage = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage(
new FilteredImageSource( colorImage.getSource(), fadeFilter ) );
ImageComponent.setImage( tmpImage ); //Home made component
//test if fading is finished...
catch( InterruptedException ie ){}
(in the home made component)
public void setImage( Image theImage )
this.theImage = theImage;
repaint();
public void paintComponent( Graphics g )
g.drawImage( theImage, 0, 0, this );
}

Create an adjustment layer then clip it to the layer you want to lighten by clicking between the two layers while holding the alt/opt key.

I hired a commercial artist to create a color image for the cover of a self published book. I want a black and white image for the inside. The commercial artist has not responded to this request. How do I determine the format of the color image, I'm guess

I hired a commercial artist to create a color image for the cover of a self published book. I want a black and white image for the inside. The commercial artist has not responded to this request. How do I determine the format of the color image, I'm guessing it's Illustrator's formatting but I don't know. How can I find out if Illustrator will open the file and allow alterations? The image opens only in Apple's Pages software?

rons,
It seems that all you have is a raster image, presumable PNG24 or JPEG, in RGB.
It may have been created as raster artwork in Photoshop, or it may have been created as vector artwork with the help of Illy, or as a mixture of vector and raster artwork in either application, or both combined.
If you just need to have a raster representation in black and white based on the current colour image, you may try this, in a new RGB document (View>Smart Guides are your friends):
1) File>Place the image (you may tick Link or untick and have it embedded);
2) Create a rectangle with black fill (R = G = B = 0), at least as large as the image, and place it behind the image (you may ClickDrag with the Rectangle Tool between opposite corners, then Ctrl/Cmd+X+B);
3) Select all and in the Transparnecy palette flyout click Make Opacity Mask with both Clip and Invert Mask ticked.

How can i compare two color images in vision builder for AI?

What i want to do is to compare two images. I have a base color image that represents the desired colors and tones. I have another image to be compared to the base image. What i want to do is to compare this two images to know how close they are regarding contents of color and tones. In other words, i want to know how close is image 2 to image 1 (base sample)....
I would like to know how to get the content of certain colors in an image and then compare this values with the same values from another image.
For example..i have two sheets of paper that contain various mixed colors...i want to know the amount of green, red an blue in each image and then comapre this values.
What i want to do is to compare difer
ent samples of fabrics. this fabrics must be of a specified color...but due to the process they may vary in tone or even color...so i want to compare this fabrics to a amster sample to see how close they are in color and tone..
Anything would help since i dont have experience in this type of comparisons...thanks

VBAI allows you to work with grayscale images only. You can acquire an image, use the vision assistant to convert it grayscale by extracting the luminance plane (or any of the other color planes) and then analyze the resulting grayscale image. To do what you are talking about, though, it would really be better to get Vision for labview. You could then take color images, compare color plains, use statistical functions to determine average color values, and so on.

Placing OS image and Data image on right partition

Hi ,
We are facing issue in placing right image at the right partition.
We have OS image and data image. We are formatting and partitioning HDD as 40% (OSDisk) and remaining 100% as (Data). Both paritioons are active and selected as primary.
Then in installing operating system step, i have selected place image based on variable 'OSDisk'
and Data image is also slected to be placed based on variable 'Data'.
TS finishes without any issues but when i login to the machine i can see that OSDisk has become 'D' Drive and Data Drive has become 'C' so it shows C drive with label as 'Data' and D drive is label as 'OSDisk'
I want to place OS on C drive and Data drive should always be as 'D' drive.
I have tried another method and this time i tried to install OS as 'place based on stored variable i.e. OSDisk but install data image as next available partition but with this placement OS never boot after restart and TS eventually fails.
My aim is to make 'C' drive contain OS image and 'D' Drive to containg data image content and not the otherway around as it is happening with current test.
Any suggestions will be highly appreciated. Thanks.
Regards,

Hi ,
Yes it is Config manager 2012 R2 but image is actually not source media install.wim. It a custom captured image through MDT2013. Image has 1 partition only.
However I tried the above solution but drive letters are still not coming correct for OSDisk and Data Drive. Data is coming on 'C' drive and OSDisk is coming at 'D' drive.

Suddenly placed EPS images in document won't print

Recently I had to do a clean reinstall of the Mac OS to clear up some problems. I backed up all my files and applications before doing so, so I could move AppleWorks back onto my Mac from the backup.
Now I am trying to print out an existing document from AppleWorks that has two placed EPS images in it. The only thing that prints is some text I have typed directly into the document. The document prints blank where the EPS images are supposed to be.
To narrow down whether it was a problem with my printer or not, I chose the print command and then chose "save as PDF." The resulting PDF file is also blank were the EPS images are supposed to be, seemingly pointing to a problem with AppleWorks. I tried deleting and then reinserting the EPS images but this did not solve the problem.
Thoughts on how I can correct this are appreciated.

Whe you move AppleWorks from one machine to anothe (or back onto the same machine) you need to move the entire AppleWorks 6 folder and all of its contents.
After doing so, you should delete the AppleWorks preferences files. You will need to do this for each user account on the machine.
Go to username > Library > Preferences
Locate and delete the file com.apple.appleworks.plist
Still in the Preferences folder, locate and open the folder AppleWorks.
From that folder, delete the following files:
AppleWorks 6 Assistant Prefs
AppleWorks 6 Assistants Cache
AppleWorks 6 Preferences
AppleWorks 6 Translators Cache
If you have made changes to the Button Bar, and have experienced NO problems associated with the Button Bar, it is likely safe to leave the file AppleWorks 6 Button Bars where it is. Otherwise delete it as well.
AppleWorks will create new copies of these files as they are needed.
Then use Disk Utility to Repair Permissions on your startup drive. You'll find Disk Utility in the Utilities folder in your Applications folder.

Barry
