RE: Fill colour issues

Hi have my shape selected I have the fill colour ready, not sure how to proceed from here?

Flatten transparency Fill colour feathering?

Basically the way I normally filled colours was either make live paint, OR flatten stransparency on my strokes, and to use the paint bucket. I have mostly used teh flatten transparency way to paint, but this tiem when I try to change the colour of my fills, it creates a feather/halo of some sort around my line art and fill colour. When I colour i only use fills, so I dont get added edges to my stroke. I have taken a screen shot of what it is doing.
Is it normal to have white edges around dark on dark colours?

Is this a CYMK-document and your strokes are 100% K?
Then it's just a screen display issue, will be OK in print (at least when trapping is handled correctly). If you need to eliminate the pixel border around the black strokes for use on screen you'll have to use rich black (but you'll be in RGB-mode in that case anyway).

Changing fill colour for partly transparent images

Does anyone know how to change the fill colour used for partly transparent images? I have a bunch of PNGs that I made for use as clip art, which I imported into iPhoto (that way I can use the media browser with Pages and Keynote).
Unfortunately, the images (which are black) are shown on top of a black rectangle both in iPhoto and the media browser. I've tried changing the background colour to both gray and black, but the 'fill' colour stays black.

There's no way to change it if you want to keep the transparency for use in other applications or web pages.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

Colour issues LR3

I shoot ijn Camera RAW on a Canon 5D2 in LR3 and I'm having colour issues; skin tones are often purple/magenta tinted and very difficult to correct. I usually set the WB to Custom and shoot a grey card and set the picture style on the camera to Neutral (why does the WB affect RAW images anyway, I thought it only operated on the jpgs?)
On import, pics often look ok then resolve into higher contrast, garish colour versions which are less pleasing - have I set a preference incorrectly or am I missing something else?
All help gratefully received

When you first import, you see the small embedded JPEG the camera generates. This matches what you see on the LCD but is based on having the camera do the conversions which you're not doing. LR therefore has to build it's own high quality previews but more importantly, that is based on it's current default settings using it's own engine. So just forget what you initially see, you'd not get that unless you set the camera for JPEG.
The key is setting up a custom default you prefer. You could pick a general DNG profile, move any of the sliders around etc and the, if you option click in Develop, the Reset button toggles to allow you to create a new default. From there you can of course adjust to taste. You'll still have to white balance and so forth but you should try to get a decent 'starting point' from Import on. For WB, might want to set the camera for Auto WB. Note this setting has no effect on your raw data! It's only a suggestion you can accept or alter. With Auto WB, you'll probably find more images come in looking closer to what you want then say forcing Daylight (which would look butt ugly IF those images were shot under Tungsten). Auto IS NOT PERECT by a long shot but since the setting doesn't affect the data, might as well try for something that gets you in the ball park.
Using any card to WB (and you should use a white, not gray card) again is often just another starting point. You seasson to taste using Tint/Temp. And of course, if you shot a scene at sunset and did this, you'd kill the color expected at that time of day. Bottom line is, when you capture raw, the WB can be anything you wish, anything you think looks good. That would not be the case with a JPEG. If you set it, you're then kind of stuck with that rendering.
Lastly, creating one or two custom DNG camera profiles can work wonders. Check out the X-rite Passport product. You'll end up with a really great target for balancing as well.

Filled colour as a variable? and setting layer to not block the content underneath?

I wonder if it's possible to take the filled colour (filled with myColor.setRGB(0x993366); like a colouring style) and set the colour filled to be a value of a variable in an if statement? if yes, anyone know how to do it?
and is it possible to set a layer's content so that it does not block any button underneath it? I'm trying use that movie as a mask but I do not want it to block any activity underneath it. or is it better to use the myMovieClip .setMask ( maskMovieClip )(I don't really know how to use this) I only need the masking to appear when a specific button is pressed. Hope my english isn't too confusing. Thanks.

Yes. If you check the documentation for the Color class you will see there is a getRGB() method which returns the value set by the setRGB() method. However it doesn't tell you what color something is, it tells you what color transform has been assigned to that object. So if you make a movie of a red square and you do this:
var myColor:Color=new Color(myClip);
trace(myColor.getRGB()); // traces "0"
Which could either mean it has been tranformed to black or that it has no transform (which is the case here.)
What you are seems more complicated than it probably needs to be. What are you actually trying to do? How are these clips having their transforms assigned? What does it mean that they are a certain color.
As for the layer thing. I have no idea what you are talking about.
BTW, here is something you didn't ask for. Using the on(event) type handler coding went out of style with the introduction of Flash 6 in 2002. It is a very inefficient way to code and is very difficult to maintian because you have to look through all your items to find the code. Most folks these days put the code on the timeline where it is all in one place and easier to maintain. Here is a great article about it:

Bridge/Photoshop Colour Issues

Bridge/ Photoshop Colour Issues:
It appears that there are a few pictures that are noticeably dull, when I load them in Bridge and Photoshop. Those same pictures are very vibrant when I look at them directly from the SD card or load them into Picassa. I tried editing the picture, saving it in Photoshop, then opening it up in Picassa and it has the same dullness. Since having this issue, I have updated the drivers on my Quadro graphics card, but I think it may be something to do with the way that I set up Adobe Bridge, because this is the first time I have imported a large batch of photos from Bridge. However, I pretty much left everything as the standard settings in Bridge. Any suggestions?
FYI - I just started using the Adobe Master Collection, with Win 7 Pro 64 and Huey Pro embedded on my laptop. My colour settings are Huey Pro on my laptop, SRGB in Photoshop and General Purpose for Bridge (I haven’t had this issue before and Huey Pro has been my colour settings on my laptop since I got Adobe).

That turns off color management in Photoshop, so yes, that would match other applications that aren't color managed at all. You're not fixing the problem, you're just hiding the symptom.
If you're certain the Photoshop version is wrong, that means your monitor profile is corrupt. A corrupt monitor profile only affects color managed software like Photoshop. Other applications don't use the monitor profile and never touch it.
If it's merely the fact that Photoshop is different, that's normal and all as it should be. With a valid monitor profile Photoshop is right and the others wrong.

Render Fill Colour on SVG Dial Sweep at Runtime

Hi all,
Thank you for taking the time to review this post.
I have been evaluating the various Dial charts in ApEX v3.0.1 and feel that the SVG 'Dial - Sweep' chart best meets my needs. I would like the fill colour to be determined at runtime depending on whether the returned value is above or below a set 'high' value.
As an example,
SELECT <x> value, -- if below 80 then fill is red, else fill is green
100 maximum_value,
0 low_value,
80 high_value
FROM dual;
As the comment states if the returned value is below the stated high value (80%) I want the sweep to be filled in Red (#FF0000) and for other values (>= 80%) to be filled in Green.
I see that there are CSS entries that could potentially be manipulated:
#dial{stroke:#336699;stroke-width:2px;fill:#ff0000;fill-opacity:.5;}
#dial.alert{fill:#ff0000;fill-opacity:.5;}
I just am unsure as to how to change the fill colours of these dynamically at runtime dependant on the result from my SQL Query source.
Is anyone able to offer some guidance and examples please?
Kind Regards,
Gary.

Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone is able to offer any examples or suggestions to this post.
I have a workaround which is to create two Charts, each with a different colour scheme and Conditional Display logic (Exists) on each Chart that determines whether the returned value is greater (or less) than the stated high value (80% in my example).
As I am displaying 6 Charts on this page, there is a huge performance overhead in running 12 Conditional Display logic SQL Statements plus the actual Chart SQL Statement.
I'm wondering whether I can utilise any of the standard Attribute features, such as "Onload Javascript".
Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with Javascript so I'm not sure if (or how) I can reference the SQL Statement Value for comparison with the stated high value, or whether I can use it to change the CSS entries - #dial{stroke:#336699;stroke-width:2px;fill:#ff0000;fill-opacity:.5;} and #dial.alert{fill:#ff0000;fill-opacity:.5;}
As I say, any examples or suggestions greatly appreciated :-)
Kind Regards,
Gary.

Numbers v5 Setting custom fill colours

With the loss of the top bar cell and font options the new sidebar inpsector contains a more limited range of standard Colour Fill colours, and most are very strong colours. I would like to use the slightly wider range of colours offered in the previous version of Numbers. Is there any way of adding a few custom colours to this selection. I have set some custom colours in the separate colours dialogue box, but prefer not to have to have this open all the time when the Inspector in open all the time as well
This is also a problem in Pages v5
Any suggestions would be appreciated

Hi Emily,
Bring up the Colour window (shift command c).
Step 1. Create a colour (I can't get an arrow or number 1 on top of this screen shot).
Step 2. Your colour will appear as shown by Arrow 2.
Step 3. Drag the colour to the custom palette shown by Arrow 3.
Step 4. Drag from the custom palette to a table cell.
As a test, I Quit Numbers and relaunched. The custom colour was still in the custom palette.
Regards,
Ian.
Edit: Step 3, drag from the colour pane (Arrow 2) to the custom palette (Arrow 3). Ian.

LR4 Colour issues

When I export my images from LR4 to Flickr (or anywhere else on the web) they always appear a bit pinker than in LR. I know LR4 develops in ProPhoto by default and, as is best practice for the web, I always export in sRGB for the web. I don't want to have to 'soft proof' every single photo I take (such a hassle), and I'm guessing this is a discrepency between colour profiles. SO, is there any way I can change LR4 so that I can develop all my images in sRGB instead of proPhoto, as I used to in LR3? There was never a discrepency when I was editing in sRGB in LR3. This has only been an issue since upgrade and it really bugs me!
Also ~ from the help files proPhoto seems to assume an ability to callibrate your monitor, but not everyone has the means to do this ~ l it's a bit unfair. My monitor has an autocalibration tool and it's colours are pretty accurate, but there is no profiling 'file' that I could use for LR to read & allign itself with.

I seem to remember being able to CHANGE the develop module in LR3 so that I was working in sRGB. And when I was working in LR3, on the SAME monitor I never had colour issues between develop and export to Flickr.
If it's not the profiling, what else is it that's changed?
Not everybody has the means to buy calibration equipment. It's #1 on my wish list and I am serious about my photography, but I work on a very low budget and can only spend as I earn! I don't buy lenses. I bought one 35mm and that's me ~ everything else it's out of budget right now. A decent calibrator does not come cheap and I see no point buying a cheap one that probably won't be much better than the auto that's already built into my screen!
I just want to also say ~ when my pictures are professionally printed the colour matching seems fine ~ so I don't actually believe I have a serious monitor calibration issue.

Button Colour issues...

Hi people.
I'm having some colour issues with my buttons. Not the regular buttons, but the buttons in the picture windows.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v520/DanThe440Man/Random%20Stuff/RolloverColou rs.jpg
As you'll see in the 1st picture, 'Back To Index' goes Orange when you hover the mouse over it. When you take the mouse off it, it goes grey. On the 2nd picture, in the bottom right, the 'Next' button behaves exactly the same. This is good, because they fit the colour scheme of the website. However, out of the 9 albums I have on my website, this is the only album that does this. All the other albums buttons are white!
How do I change the colours? I've obviously done it before, but I can't figure out how. Any help appreciated!
Dan

Anybody have any ideas? My sites nearly finished....I'm too fussy to let it go!

Shape fill colour preview

Hi ,
I have been searching around the setting and the net and no luck , wondering how to turn off fill clour preview of a vector shape before the path is closed .
I am in Photoshop CC.
Thanks

I am drawing irregular vector shapes with fill colour . However , i do not want the fill colour to be previewed before it closed.
In CS6 , i pressed 1 to make opactity 10% to draw first and 0 to resume solid colour .
But when i just installed CC , i was amazed that the the path has not solid fill colour previewd before i closed the path/shaped . The thing is today when i was trying to draw again , the fill colour preview appeared again . So, i guess there might be a setting to toggle the preview.

Changing a frame's fill colour

I should produce small text boxes containing reverse text (white letters in black boxes). How and where do I apply black colour to a frame's fill colour?

Select the frame, then in the Swatches panel click the fill color icon in the upper left corner (same icon is in the Toolbox and the Color panel), then choose your fill color.

Problem changing fill colour after image trace?

I am using illustrator cc 2014 to trace a jpeg image. After tracing I want to change the colour of the resulting image. The default colour after tracing is black but the image fill colour is showing as a question mark and when I go to change the colour the whole artboard turns grey no matter what colour I choose. I know the document is in CMYK. Does any one know whats going on here?

Hi I'm still having trouble with this here are a couple of images of the before and after.
This is the traced and expanded image:
And after I select a colour:
There are two problems with this, first is that its gone grey (I'm definitely in CMKY mode) and second is it did not fill the image in the way I had intended.
What am I doing wrong?

Confusing Colour Issues with 3 camera shoot. Please help

Hey Everybody,
I have had to re-register, so this looks like my first post!
There is a colour issue which is seriously baffling us, we shot a fighting event with a 3 camera shoot. 3 Days, and on all 3 days the cameras seem to have produced different colour outputs dispite being on the same setting. Can anybody shed any light on how to match the colours here. All settings on the cameras were the same, so we are surprised that the footage has come out differently. The following day the footage from all 3 cameras were indentical. However this is the footage produced from the first shoot
We have tried bightness/contrast, levels, fast colour correction, Colour Balance and CB_HLS and still can't get the footage to match.
While it would appear there might be a slight hint of over exposure when we take the brightness right down, there is hardly any highspots.
If there is no solution for us to do, is there anybody who we could send a short clip, have them correct it and we can duplicate to the rest of the shots? If so what kind of expense do you think that would incur?
Thanks in advance

its important to use the same exact cameras on multi camera shoots. also important to take color meter and see what the lights give you. sodium vapor and tungsten and flourescent all need different " color correction" gels to make them equal 32k or 56k .. and its not just orange and blue correction ...its also green and magenta etc...
professionally , you cant do all that at the " lens " with cc filters..you need to actually get to the lights physically ( with scissor lifts or cranes ( manlifts ) and gel the lights too ).
Once you have your lights corrected and ready to shoot...all cameras need to shoot "color swatches - usually Kodak .. with a single light source that equals what your camera is set to ( color temp )...and that is used to get your balance correct in post.
That said it sounds like you are screwed...
To have someone try to correct that professionally would cost more than you can afford, or you would have used that " money " to correct your color etc in the beginning... in other words, if you could afford to send everything to a pro lab and try color correcting all that stuff, you wouldnt have this problem to begin with IMO.
My suggestion:
Since wrestling is a gritty sport and " manly " and full of emotion that is basically " tough " and " hard " ....trash the color altogether and make everything black and white... maybe increase your contrast a tiny bit ...or maybe add a slight " tone " to it....( not sepia which looks just " old " , but maybe slight blue tint ? ) ...something to make it look as gritty and hard as you can...
Then tell client you did it on purpose ! Is part of your concept to begin with... wow them with your creativity !

Find fill colour frames in images

Hi All,
I am trying to find fill colour frames in images, my code is giving error as Object does not support the property or method "allPageItem"
could anyone solve this please.
var COLOR_NAME="color name string";
     var currentPageItem;
     for (var currentPageItem=0;currentPageItem<app.activeDocument.allPageItems.length;currentPageItem) {
          currentPageItem=app.activeDocument.allPageItem[currentPageItem];
          if ((currentPageItem instanceof Rectangle || currentPageItem instanceof Polygon)
                    && currentPageItem.contentType==ContentType.GRAPHIC_TYPE
                    && currentPageItem.fillColor==COLOR_NAME) { // do what you want
                app.activeDocument.selection=currentPageItem;
               alert("This box has fill color!!");
Thanks in advance
Steve

Hi Chinna,
Thanks for your reply, the code is working with your idea like
var COLOR_NAME="Red";
//~ var COLOR_NAME=app.activeDocument.swatches;
     var currentPageItem;
     for (var currentPageItem=0;currentPageItem<app.activeDocument.allPageItems.length;currentPageItem) {
         currentPageItem=app.activeDocument.allPageItems[currentPageItem++]
          if ((currentPageItem instanceof Rectangle || currentPageItem instanceof Polygon)
                    && currentPageItem.contentType==ContentType.GRAPHIC_TYPE
                    && currentPageItem.fillColor==app.activeDocument.colors.item(COLOR_NAME)) { // do what you want
                app.activeDocument.selection=currentPageItem;
               alert("This box has fill color!!");
Now, how can I find a fill colour in images (all colours which applied in images), could you change it please.
Thanks in advance
Steve
