"Replace Color" in no-color areas?

Hi all.
Why is it that I can never do "Replace Color" in colorless areas (black/white/gray)? Am I missing something, or does this tool *completely* rely on saturated colors in order to work?

You can achieve this with the Hue/Saturation adjustment layer by checking the Colorize box, adjusting Hue and Saturation as desired, and setting the Lightness slider to a positive value for black areas.
You could do two layers, one for non-black neutrals where you don't adjust lightness, and then a second layer where you only select the blacks and use similar settings but with some lightness added.

    Can i return my I phone 5 to apple because the color at the edges are gone already after 2 month?

    You only have 30 days to return an iPhone for full refund.  However, you are under warranty, so if you think this is a defect or such, take it into an Apple Store and show them and ask them about it.  If the screen is faulty, they will replace it.

  • Selective replace foreground-color with background-color

    Hi,
    I'm new to Photoshop and coming from paint shop pro (psp).
    Now I have to recolor a black dotted arrow in a bitmap to red.
    All other contents are black, too. In psp there is a tool/brush to
    replace foreground-color with background-color. So I'd select
    black as foreground-color and red as background-color, hover
    with cursor over the area to recolor and that's it.
    How to do it with Photoshop?
    Thanks in advance

    Can you clarify this?  It sounds like you have a black arrow on a black background.

  • Different color text in text area???????

    hi,

    could any one help me

    I'm not sure it replies, we have developed an

  • Deskjet 3050 does only print JPG files in color - all other docs are only printed in black and white

    Dear All,
    I have a problem with my Deskjet 3050 Printer. (USB connected with my laptop).
    My printer won't print colored documents in color but only in black and white (except for JPG files (photos) which are printed in color.
    Word documents or PDF files (for example) are always printed in black and white - even if these are in color.
    Copying colored pages with my printer is no problem.
    This works perfectly well. The printer is connected to my PC via USB.
    The cartridges (color and black and white) are practically new and original HP cartridges.
    Could the problem be related to the printer settings which I might have changed by accident.
    Thanks in advance for your advise.

  • Strange redaction issue with no color fill for redacted area

    I have it set for No Color in the redacted area fill color.  When I mark my redaction, choose apply redaction, the selected area is still shown.  When I save the file, exit, and then re-open, the redaction is gone like it is supposed to.  Now if I choose a redacted area fill color, mark my redaction and then apply, the color fill area works.  I have to redact many pages daily, and having to save and reopen to verify my work is very time consuming.  The weird thing is that it doesn't happen to every document that I'm working on.  I'm using Adobe 11.0.07.  Any solution greatly appreciated!  Thanks.

    That makes sense.  I guess the documents i was having trouble with were all scanned documents.  I never had troubles with any documents that haven't been scanned.  But on some parts of those scanned documents, which is all white background, the no color fill works, and some spots it doesn't.  I thought maybe you could see spots where it fills in white.  I will just use the white back ground.  Thanks.

  • My Color Coded Calendar Events Are Not Shown

    My Color Coded Calendar Events are not displayed on my iphone. The events sync fine but they don't have the appearance that Outlook 2003 has. Dots on a calendar don't do me much good. What am I missing?

    Thanks for the reply. I was thinking that I saw in the "Intro to the new iphone" thing here on the apple site that this thing displayed the Label Color of my events. But no, I just watched it again and saw that it shows the different calendars I have in different colors. I'm very bummed (at myself for misunderstanding it). This is my first ianything so I'm not very familiar with apple. Is there somewhere that I can place an enhancement request?

  • How do I change the color of the scratch area?

    Is there a way to change the color of the scratch area? I am designing an ad for a newspaper that uses a gray background for a particular advertisement section.
    Thanks,
    Mark

    Thanks!
    I finally got around to working with this ad again.
    This doesn't quite work because the newspaper is actually white but the area around the ads is gray. I thought if I simulated colored paper I would be able to overlay a white background as my ad background. I can see where this feature is very useful, but I just wanted to change the scratch area color.
    I wound up putting a large gray square in the back and a smaller white square on top of it which represents the white print area.
    Thanks again for your response,

    For the sake of clarity and to save people time, Todd is asking about the behaviour of the Patch tool when using it to repair the area next to the young lad's head.  Todd gets a blurred dark tone pretty much regardless of the options he uses.
    IMO that's what I would expect to happen because of the close proximity of the other image elements i.e. the lad's neck and the strong lines of his shirt.  I would not choose to use the Patch tool in this situation.  Content Aware Fill makes a better stab at it. 

  • The white colors in my screen are to bright. Help

    The white colors in my screen are to bright. There is no difference between different colors of white so I lose a lot of detail in images. What can I do. When I put my mac to sleep it was ok for a while but when I restarted my computer I lost it again.

    Brightness adjusts the blacks, contrast adjusts the whites.

  • While I'm using facebook in my iPad with Safari browser,sometimes it will just switch to main menue.It also happened with the Facebook apps from the apple store. And the color of the bookmark area becomes black instead of a normal grey color.

    While I'm using facebook in my iPad with Safari browser,sometimes it will just switch to main menue.It also happened with the Facebook apps from the apple store. And the color of the bookmark area becomes black instead of a normal grey color.

    Then if you have tried all the browsers try connecting the system to yoour router with an Ethernet cable and turn WiFi off. If you have the same problem then it more then likely after your computer, Router or modem or connection from your ISP.
    If you get good browsing with the Ethernet cable then it is either the WiFi card in your Mac or the WiFi system in your router.

  • After turning an image black and white, how can I color in a certain area?

    After turning an image black and white, how can I color in a certain area?

    How did you change it? Did you make your B&W on a separate layer? If so, just erase the part of the layer you don't want, or add a layer mask and paint with black over the parts you want to hide.
    If not, then you can copy/paste the original photo (you will need to press ctrl+A/cmd+A to select all before you can copy) into the new image. From there it depends on the relative proportions of B&W. Arrange the two layers so the one with the most area that you want to keep is on top, and either mask out the rest or just erase it away.
    For future reference, an easier way to do this when starting from scratch is to use the smart brush. Choose a black and white conversion style, turn on the inverse checkbox and paint over the part you want in color. The rest of the photo turns black and white, leaving what you paint over in the original colors.

  • Logic 8 crashing when double click on color in the color window

    every time I try and create a custom color in the color window by double clicking on a color square logic crashes . Is anyone else seeing this? - sent apple crash report

    Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
    (On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
    (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    What's the plist file?
    For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

  • Using a script to get the color of a colorized Black & White Bitmap image

    I've been running into this wall for quite some time and would greatly appreciate any help that can given for it.
    I have an Illustrator script that runs inside of a BridgeTalk session within an InDesign script.  Yeah, it's complicated.  The upshot is that the Illustrator part opens up an EPS file, looks through all objects on a certain layer in that file, and returns an array of the colors used in it.  So, it looks at fill colors, stroke colors, gradient stops, etc.  One of the biggest stumbling blocks (next to PlugIn Items, which I'll ask about in a separate post) is getting the color of raster images.
    Most raster images, I realize, are going to be CMYK or RGB images, but our company mostly deals with either Grayscale images or Black & White Bitmaps that are embedded in the EPS file.  Those two allow the ability to colorize them by simply selecting them and then choosing a color, such as a spot PANTONE color from one of their color books.
    Now, I need the script to read the color that the raster image has been colorized with.  This works okay for images that have a GrayScale color space, as the script just looks at Colorant[0] of that image.  However, I run into a problem with Black & White Bitmap images.  Here's a piece of code that I try to make work with an EPS file that has a raster image:
    var document = app.activeDocument;
    for (var i = 0; i < document.layers[0].pageItems.length; i++) {
              // Stepping through each item on the layer.
              var currentItem = document.layers[0].pageItems[i];
              $.writeln("Current item is " + currentItem.typename);
              $.writeln("Number of channels is " + currentItem.channels);
              $.writeln("Color Space is " + currentItem.imageColorSpace);
              $.writeln("Colorized Grayscale? " + currentItem.colorizedGrayscale);
              $.writeln("Number of Colorants: " + currentItem.colorants.length);
              for (var j = 0; j < currentItem.colorants.length; j++)
                        $.writeln("Colorant number " + j + " is " + currentItem.colorants[j]);
              $.writeln("Its parent is " + currentItem.parent);
              $.writeln("Parent's typename is " + currentItem.parent.typename);
    This code runs successfully on an Illustrator file that has a Black & White Bitmap image on the top layer, but if you try and run it, you'll see the problem:  Even if you've colorized your Bitmap image with a PANTONE spot color (and the script even returns "true" on the line "Colorized Grayscale?"), Colorant number 0 is "Gray".  It should be the spot color assigned, not "Gray".
    Can anyone please help me figure out how to get the script to recognize the actual colorant of a Black & White Bitmap image in Illustrator?

    If you're a professional photographer with 50,000 pictures stored now and more coming all the time, you need to forget about using iPhoto and get yourself some professional-quality digital asset management software. iPhoto is not meant for people like you, and instead of providing a simple, elegant one-stop answer to all your needs, iPhoto is actually complicating your life.
    You need an application that will:
    - catalog ALL your images and keep track of where they are, no matter how many DVDs, folders, partitions or hard drives they're spread over;
    - display thumbnails of ALL of them, even when the DVD that contains them is not present in any drive, so you can select all the ones you want for a project;
    - find and copy (or export) the originals of all the files you've selected in the browser window, even if it means prompting you to insert the necessary DVDs for all of them.
    I suggest Googling "digital asset management software Macintosh" and seeing what turns up. I used to use an old version of Extensis Portfolio, and even that would have been better for your purposes than iPhoto is.

  • Acrobat 9 Pro & Office 2007 - No Color Text without Color Printer?

    I have a number of legacy word documents (.doc) that I convert to PDF from Office 2007 using Acrobat 9 Professional.
    These word documents have sections of text that are red. The documents also all have an embedded JPG in the header (company logo, also colored).
    In all cases the red text is converted to black when creating the PDF but the logo stays color.  The only way to convert to PDF and maintain text color is to first select a color printer from the printer dialog box.
    So, for each word document I need to create a PDF from, I first need to open the print dialog box, select some color printer and click "close."  Only then can I produce a PDF where both the logo and the text maintiain their original colors.
    This behavior is new to Acrobat 9.  I never once had to change from my default (B&W laser) printer to a color printer before making a PDF.
    Is there a solution?  Have I missed some easy step here or is this the expected behavior now?

    Sorry, I'm printing using the PDFMaker Office Add-in (toolbar).
    [[You might also check the Adobe PDF printer properties to be sure you  have not changed that to B&W.]]
    If the printer properties were B&W then the color JPG (logo) would be B&W in the PDF, but it's not, it's color.  It's only the text that is B&W.  But, of course, I double-checked (to be sure) and confirmed that it is set to color.
    [[ If you are using PDF Maker, you might select the Adobe PDF printer  first]]
    Well, that's why I'm posting the question.  Why would I need to change printers in order to create the PDF when, since version 4, I never had to do this?  I'd like to figure out what has happened and how to fix it.
