Relationship of color picker with the adjustment layers ...

Do you know why the color of color picker changes when using adjustment layers?

The color of the color picker changes to black and white because adjustment layers have masks and they only operate with black, white, and grays in between.

  • Something very strange is happening with the adjustment brush

    When I brush over an area of a photo with the adjustment brush, LR does not select all of the area I brushed over, regardless how many times I go over it.  The unselected spots look like pepper sprinkled on mashed potatoes, small dots that will not select, and so will not do whatever effect I'm trying to do. Like if I brush a hillside, the little dots will appear (apparently randomly) If I change the color temp the selected area changes like it should but the little specks do not change.  LR will not select them.  Please help.

    Sorry, not the right answer. But thankx for taking a shot. According to
    Adobe LR does not have enough pixels when I'm working on a macro subject
    (say a butterfly that I'm trying to work on at 2x in the navigator) there
    just are not enough pixels. So I have to transfer projects that deal with
    micro subject into PS, PS had  no problem detecting the holed and filling
    them in, what I've got to do is select using the magic pen or whatever
    works best and then make adjustments to the selection. We do that, no
    problem.  Then back to LR for larger more general adjustments. I have no
    idea why, WHY Adobe would have two programs that work so closely together
    and yet not have identical selection abilities. That's a mistake in my book.

  • Color picker in the Properties panel used to work

    I have an object that I want to fill with a specific color. I click on the Fill property, choose the color picker, and type in the RGB numbers for the color. For example 240, 150, 100 for the RGB values. I get black. If I type those same color values into the new Swatches panel, I get an orange color. Has the color picker in the Properties panel stopped working?

    Jay, that is a known bug, reported it months ago and hope it will be fixed
    soon. The Color picker (picking colors) is still functional, it is only typing in of Hexadecimal codes that is not possible at this moment.

  • Acrobat 8:color picker for the "fill" option is no longer available.

    I have Acrobat 8 and am creating a fillable form with the check box tool and text field tool. 8 of the 9 pages worked well but on the 9th page the color picker for the "fill" option is no longer available. It is still available for "Text". I cannot find the cause for this and would like to know how to reactivate the color picker. Please advise. Thanks!

    Those instructions still work for me - you are selecting a free app in the store and clicking on 'create Apple id' (the instructions won't work with an existing account) when 'buying' the app ?

  • Wish: A color picker for the grad filter

    When I use color for the grad filter, I often wish I could pick the color from my image. It is "fiddly stuff" to get the color right with the color panel as it is now.
    It would be great to have a color picker that takes the color from a chosen spot in the image.

    Oh I see, sneaky little devil!
    Thanks for the tip, Lee Jay.
    Correct answer.

  • Color Picker has the Button skin

    Hey guys,
    I'm using some Color Pickers in my application. I also use mx buttons in some places so I've created a css style for these which includes some bitmap
    graphics as well. The problem is that the color picker has the skin of my mx button even though I didnt define a style for it anywhere.
    It looks weird so I would definetely prefer the default skin.
    Am I missing something here?

    and by the way, the css for the mx button is this
    mx|Button
    disabled: Embed(source="hpSkins/ButtonSkins/MXButton/Button_disabled.png");
    downSkin: Embed(source="hpSkins/ButtonSkins/MXButton/Button_downSkin.png");
    overSkin: Embed(source="hpSkins/ButtonSkins/MXButton/Button_overSkin.png");
    upSkin: Embed(source="hpSkins/ButtonSkins/MXButton/Button_upSkin.png");
    fontFamily: svenings;
    color: #FFFFFF;
    textRollOverColor: #FFFFFF;
    textSelectedColor: #FFFFFF;
    fontWeight: normal;
    fontLookup: embeddedCFF;

  • Why don't changes made in camera raw with the adjustment brush carry into photoshop?

    Why don't changes made in camera raw with the adjustment brush carry into photoshop?

    Using the Open button in ACR to get to PS doesn’t create a PSD or a TIF, it just transfers the image in memory. 
    As has been asked, already, what are the precise steps of your workflow starting with your painting the adjustment brush strokes in ACR and seeing the image in PS without the strokes, and what exact versions of PS and ACR are you using?

  • Continual problem with the Adjustment brush in both Lightroom 3 and Lightroom 4

    The Adjustment brush in both Lightroom 3 and Lightroom 4 continually stops functioning correctly - that is any adjustment made using the sliders in the Adjustment Brush panel does not make an adjustment on the image.      Normally I would go to Library / Preferences [on my iMac OSX 10.6.8], remove the com.adobe.Lightroom3.plist file and restart Lightroom.     However I have gone to Library/Preferences and there is no listing of any Lightroom 3 plist files, nor for that matter any adobe Photoshop CS5 plist files or any adobe Lightroom 4 plist files.      I have tried restarting the iMac but to no avail - no help at all!      I have no idea how to remedy the situation as I have no idea where the plist files have gone!!!
    Incidentally I have a new iMac 27" OSX 10.8 - same problem with the Adjustment Brush there, but so far the plist files haven't disappeared into the ether somewhere!
    Help would be appreciated  ...
    Many thanks

    Hi Jussi
    I tried changing to the B brush set, and the Adjustment Brush worked OK in there for a while - but now I have the same problem with the B brush set too.     It appears to happen instantly - one minute they're working, the next minute they're not!!         For example, I was adjusting Brightening using the Adjustment Brush and I literally made an adjustment on one image, then went back into the same image seconds later to make a further Brightening adjustment and the brush wasn't working - well, that is, not unless I pushed the slider to something like 160 and then I got minimal adjustment!!!       I am becoming increasingly frustrated  ..   I have literally worked for months with no problems, now it's almost every day!!

  • I have several layers for this image: Background, Moon, Tree, Grass and Clouds.  When I try to use the Move tool to move the Moon, the tool jumps to the Tree layer.  The same thing happens with the other layers as well (except the background layer).  How

    I have several layers for my image: Background, Moon, Tree, Grass and Clouds.  When I try to use the Move tool to move the Moon, the tool jumps to the Tree layer.  The same thing happens with the other layers as well (except the background layer).  How can I keep the move tool from jumpimg to the Tree layer?

    1. Pre-select (highlight) the layer to move in the Layers panel.  or-
    2. [ALT+Right mouse click]  to select the wanted layer in the image window.
    and maybe
    3. Set the PS option to "Auto-select" a layer with cursor hover.  (can be very confusing!)

  • Can not find the Skin Soften option with the adjustment brush 2.0

    When I first installed 2.0 I had an option for skin softening with the adjustment brush. Now it's gone. Does everyone using Lightroom 2.0 have skin soften with the adjustment brush?

    In Develop press K for Adjustment Brush (or click the Brush Icon). The it appears in the drop down menu next to Effect: that defaults to Exposure and has a small set of up and down arrows to the right of it. Soften Skin is last after a divider. It also appears (????) there for Graduated Filter (M).

  • Hi! I have a problem with the adjustment brush some are not there anymore like soften skin, how i can fix that?

    Hi! I have a problem with the adjustment brush some are not there anymore like soften skin, how i can fix that?

    Hi dear,
    it's funny, real funny.
    I think the programmes have diffrent sound system from the normal calls system.
    All you need to do is to turn the sound up from the bottom in the phone side in the time you're making or recieving the call.
    you'll hear the sound.
    I hope that would help.
    All the best

  • What happens to Apple Color users with the new Final Cut Pro x

    What happens to Apple Color users with the new Final Cut Pro x?

    Some of the functions of Color have been incorporated into FCP X, meaning you will have more than the 3-Way-Color-Corrector but less than Color.
    Since you cannot share projects between FCP and FCP X, you might want to stay with FCS if you rely on Color.

  • Can't type Pantone values in the Color Picker with Ai CS6

    Hi Illustrators,
    I'm running Design and Web Premium CS6 on a Windows 7 machine. I was recently using Ai's Recolor Artwork dialogue for a CMYK document. I wanted to convert my 4 color artwork to Pantone solid coated. I decided to chose some different Pantones. In older versions of Illustrator I could easily open the Color Picker, click on a Pantone value and then just type in a new value to scroll to it. This is no longer the case with Ai CS6. 
    Does anyone know of a work around?

    Thanks for getting back. It works on Photoshop CS6 (64bt) but not so with Ai
    As long as I'm griping on lost features. Here's another great one that's gone with the CS6 wind...
    In the Swatch Options, you used to be able to scroll through the Color Modes by holding Shift and clicking on the square color preview icon. You used to also be able to get the compliment on the fly by holding Control (Windows) / Command (Mac) and clicking on the same icon. Neither feature works anymore.

  • Color Picker with Pantone conversion

    In Photoshop you can sample an area with the eyedropper, click on the swatch in Color Picker and have it give you the PMS equivalent from the "book" list. I would love the same feature in Illustrator.
    It makes more sense to have the spot color conversion capability in the the program designed for spot color use.
    Thanks!

    CS3
    Art containing two non-global process colors has been selected, and the Live Color dialog opened:
    Below, the Pantone solid coated library has been selected from the Limit to Library popup menu, which causes an immediate lookup of the closest matching color in the library to
    every color in the selected art
    (notice that the brown is a tiny bit redder and the green a little yellower, showing you that the replacements have happened):
    The sliders above have also been switched to Tint and a new color group was created by clicking on the little folder with the + sign above the color group list. These two steps are not necessary, I just wanted to show that they were possible. Also it was the best way to display the names of both Pantone colors.
    If all you want to do is recolor your document with the same number of Pantone colors that your design uses distinct mixed colors, you're done!
    All the rest of this post is just showing more variations of what you can do, especially reducing the number of spot colors used when the original document has more color variation than you want.
    Here I have switched to the metallic library:
    If the selected art had contained more original colors than desired number of spot colors, then you can enter the number of desired spot colors to reduce to, and it will pick the best color set of that size from the chosen library to "posterize" to, as shown below:
    After reduction to two colors:
    After limiting to ANPA library:
    Next I've switched to the Color Wheel view, and rotated the color markers to a different position. When limiting to a library, the entire color wheel is drawn using only the colors in that library, so that you can easily navigate to nearby colors:
    Swatches from Color Books and other libraries can be accessed in the Color Picker, but only when it is opened from within the Live Color dialog (by double-clicking on any color well) while limiting to that library. This gives you another method of picking a different color if you don't like the default match.
    There is not yet any ability to switch libraries while the Color Picker is open, but we hope to enable that in CS4.

  • Strange color discrepancy with the rectangle generator

    I tried to use a Rectangle video generator to make a quick-and-dirty border for an overlaid element that resides on another video track. In the Controls tab for the generator, I set the softness to zero and used the color picker tool to pick out the corporate-official shade of blue from an element on the canvas. It didn't match, not even close. See this screengrab:
    http://elamaton.no-ip.com/~jarkko/color_discrepancy.png
    The inner, darker blue is the result I got when I color-picked the outer, lighter blue shape. If I now color-pick the inner, darker blue, essentially choosing the color for the blue from itself, it turns even darker. Somehow, the generator doesn't produce the color one expects it to, but a darker one instead. Is this normal, intended behavior? I found no mention of it in the manual.
    (Note: I eventually replaced the rectangle generator with a solid color generator, which produced the correct color and was easily resized, so I now have a functioning border. Still, I'd like to know if anyone knows why the rectangle generator's color is different.)

    Hi Lifelles,
    Interesting problem you have.
    No solution, only give this Feedback to Apple.
    Apperantly the generator is designed poorly.
