Recolor one color artwork

Hello,
I'm trying to recolor one color artwork using Illustrator CS6:
As you can see, I selected the artwork, pressed 'Recolor Artwork' and the tried to pick another color - I double-clicked on the rectangle under 'New' and I got to this result, when I'm trying to change it through the bars or swatch, I get the same result. The new color that I picked is changing the first one and not the second (if I understood it right).
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you!

Yes, black needs to be unchecked in the Color Reduction Options dialog which is on the left side of Colors edit field.
Please let us know if it helps!
Regards,
Dhirendra

Does white need to be transparent for one color t-shirt printing?

Hi,
I made one color (black and white) graphic as an Illustrator file for a guy who is printing it with one color on t-shirts. Some of the white areas are formed from white objects on top of black objects and some are transparent areas like the background that shows when the Show Transparency Grid is selected from the View menu .
The guy told me his printer said that there are white objects in the graphic that need to be transparent.
I don’t have any other information. I don’t know what kind of printing, printer, and t-shirts are used. Initially the guy told me not to worry about that, he will prepare the graphic for print but now he is asking me to turn the whites to transparent. Given the situation, I’m suspecting if this is the right approach.
I would like to learn the right way of doing this and I will greatly appreciate any advice, and input.

If you make a compound path...the artwork will be OK.
That cannot be assumed as true without actually seeing how the artwork is built. In any of these situations, a normal even-odd winding will cause unwanted black reversals:
Difference regions between any white and black fills (for example a white path only partially overlapping a black path).
Intersection regions between two or more white fills.
Intersection regions between two or more black fills.
Without knowing the artwork stack, the most likely "one-size-fits-all" solution would be the Merge Pathfinder. But even that assumes that all paths are filled, unstroked paths; no Brushes, etc.
But as has already been stated, when printing separations or composite, white means "no ink" unless the white is a spot color Swatch. The strange-sounding request from the printer may also be due to white objects being accidently set to overprint.
The surest thing for a beginner not understanding any of the above would be to just rasterize the whole thing to 1-bit at a moderate resolution, assuming it is all line art and is drawn at 100%.

Show one color at a time

right now i am just brainstorming my next art project so i don't really have anything specific (which might make this harder to answer but bear with me)
ok, i am hoping to create a pretty complex peice. lots of shapes and detail, no gradients though.
is there a way to only show one color at a time.... that makes no sense, let me grab an example...
ok, i'll try again, if i was going to do this in illustrator, i would have that gold on top all on one layer. then on top of that i would have the red eyes on one layer. is there a way i can see all the gold but only the gold that will actually show up when i print it? basically like when they do prints, they print one color at a time and it's not like they overlap a bunch of layers. can i do that like on screen?
i guess if i had to i could do it in photohop, make a brush out of the red layer and erase those parts of the gold... but i dont want to do it that way, can i do it in illustrator?
thanks guys, i know that makes no sense...
if i have a bunch of objects overlapping each other

ALWAYS state what version you're using.
It sounds like you simply want to preview color separations on screen. If so, and if you have Acrobat Pro, you can:
1. Save the file as a press-ready PDF.
2. Open in Acrobat.
3. Preview the separations in the Advanced>PrintProduction>OutputPeview dialog.
Understand: "Color separations" means color as it will be sent to the individual printing plates, not individual "colors" you've used in the design (unless the design is entirely spot color). If that's what you want, you can:
1. Select an object of a particular color.
2. Use one of the Select Same commands in the Select menu.
3. Store the selection. (Select>SaveSelection)
4. Object>Hide>Selection (leaving other-colored objects visible)
5. Similarly store selections for each different color. Use the Hide Selection command on which every ones you don't want to see.

How can I change one color in design on a web site for exemple background : white to light-brown?

1. how can I change one color in design on a web site for exemple background : white to light-brown?
2. how can I edit visual bookmark on the beginning page?

This doesn't sound like a Firefox issue. I think you'd be better off with a site that offers web design tutorials. Try this one: http://www.w3schools.com/
One thing you should do though and that is to update Firefox via Help | Check For Updates.
There was a security breach at Comodo which is an SSL certificate provider recently whereby a number of fraudulent certificates were inadvertently issued. These allow a hacker to impersonate any site including online banking and the Firefox version you're running at the moment will not warn you that the site is a fake. The fraudulent certificates were blacklisted in v3.6.17 and beyond.

How to make a one-color fill images with masks in documents from our multiple layers ?

Hello everyone!
I`m to open PSD document with same layers. I need to:
1. Save the jpg file (preview) in a certain place
2. All layers with masks to make one-color fill instead of images with masks.
Thanks
This is way ?
var theLayers = collectLayers(app.activeDocument, []);
alert (theLayers.join("\n"));
function collectLayers (theParent, allLayers) {//---------------------------------------------------
if (!allLayers) {var allLayers = new Array}
   else {};
   for (var m = theParent.layers.length - 1; m >= 0;m--) {
      var theLayer = theParent.layers[m];
      if (theLayer.typename == "ArtLayer") {
           var bar = new Array;
           bar = theLayer.bounds
           l0= Math.abs(this.app.activeDocument.width - theLayer.bounds[2] - theLayer.bounds[0]);
           l1= Math.abs(this.app.activeDocument.height -theLayer.bounds[3] - theLayer.bounds[1]);
            if((l0+l1)>0) { // layer mask is set
                // delete this layer
                //create new layer
                //create new mask from array bar
                //fill selection
            allLayers.push(theLayer);
   return allLayers

I may not quite follow.
Would you mind posting an example (a screenshot with the Layers Panel visible for example) and an overview of the resulting images you want to produce?

How to sample one color from gradient

I have an object in Illustrator CC that has a gradient applied to it. I would like to use the eyedropper tool to sample just one color selected from a specific point in the gradient but when I click on the object with the eyedropper the whole gradient is picked up.
How to I sample just one point in a gradient?
I looked at my eyedropper preferences. Everything is checked. I didn't see an option that would let me do what I wanted.
Any suggestions?
Phil

Yeah I sure did try, but unfortunately I believe it's a limitation of the operating system. Windows on Windows OS like to be contained within the window area. In this case, illustrator loses focus of the cursor when you leave the window borders. I was hoping you were on Windows and had a way around it.

Changing one color stop of a gradient with color picker

Hi. Is there a way to change just one color stop in a gradient by eyedropping a color on your art board? I know you can go to the color picker but it won't let you choose something on the canvas. Also I know I can make a swatch and drag it into the gradient, but really who wants to do that if you can just eyedropper that sucker! any thoughts? thanks!

When the color stop in the gradient is selected, take the eyedropper, press shift and click on the color you want applied to the stop.
Pressing shift means sometimes that colors will be converted through color management though. For example when clicking on a placed photo.

Making an ID document one color

In a document with colored and B&W graphics and text is it possible to make all the graphics and text one color, for example PMS 280, to print on a Xerox Docucolor printer? Heretofore we've been coloring all the text one box at a time and doing the graphics in Photoshop or Illustrator, which is very time-consuming. Or can the document be exported as a PDF and colorized in Acrobat? Thanks!

If you have CS3, I believe you can use GREP to replace colors. Also, look for a script that will do it. I'm pretty sure there is one.

How do you make the background all one color without disturbing the subjects?

I shot a wedding this past weekend. Where the bridal party walked in there was an acrhway with christmas lights as the only lights. It made the background all splotchy. I have tried the paintbrush tool, but only preset choices, such a textures and such. Won't help. I need to work around people and make the background all one color. I've tried using a vignette, but it made it too dark, and when you lighten the exposure you see all the splotches. Does anyone have any advice. I am in a jam, I want the colors to be uniform for all the bridal party....and not look like someone threw paint on the wall. HELP PLEASE!
I'm using Adobe Photoshop Elements 10.

You'll need to post an example so we can figure out the best way.

My HP printer Officejet Pro 8600 won't print Magenta color.. I have replaced two different cartritges but none worked. Yellow, blue and black works fine.. The picture/text would print but just without red tones.
All I get is greenish colors...
What can be done to fix it..??

HP c7180 - Won't print one color[ New ]
12-28-2010 04:50 PM
My C7180 displayed a message that the ink cartridge was out of date and immediately stopped printing which used Mageneta. I replaced the cartridge and it still won't print this color. All other print functions and features are fine. If a photo or print requires red, however, it prints as yellow. Print tests show a small single horizonal line where the mageneta should be. Additionally, I've run the "clean print head" command. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks.

How do I match the color of "one-color"-objects in the same picture?

This is a simple one but I cant seem to find anyone who adress this.
I have two objects with different monochromatic color composition (one-color only). I need them to be the _exact_ same color. I..e.: I would like to choose the color of one with the eyedropper tool and replace the color of the other, using something like the color-replacer tool, but I cant make it work.
Thanks in advance!

Here is a great video that outlines how to both replace color and use an adjustment layer to manipulate a color.
