Replace colour to one of my choice...

Hi There
I am very new to photoshop (CS5 extended) and have been trying all afternoon to replace a colour to one of my choice. I have watched many videos online to help but I can change the colour but not to the colour of my choice. In the Image>Adjustments>Replace colour I sucessfully make the selection to change the colour. The colour that I want to replace it with is a charcoal which is C=64, M=56, Y=53, K28. Can anyone help me please?
I thank you in advance for any assistance.
Thank you
Peter

Hi ReneG
Sorry how do I do that? What is Opt? It says use Shift, Opt and CMD?
Kind regards
Peter
No don't worry about those instructions, they have nothing to do with what I've done.
The way you'll get the color you want and the way I did the image above is:
Change your image to Grayscale mode, then change it back to CMYK and you should get something very close to the CMYK values you mentioned in your first post.

Replacing colour/texture from one image onto another?

Desperately need some guidance here as this has been driving me nuts....
I want to use the colour and texture from one photo onto my own design. Now, using the rubber stamp tool I am able only to clone a certain area that moves with the cross hair, but how can I clone a section from one photo and use that as a fill to create another design? In other words, clone a colour from one photo as a colour fill for another design?
Even using the colour replace tool and selecting source: image I am left with the colour pallette as the destination and cannot use the colour from the image to paint my new image from it.
Thanks a heap

If I want to copy a single color from one image to another, here's what I'll do:
Create a new rectangle in the source image
With the rectangle selected, use the eyedropper to pick a color from someplace in the source image
Copy the rectangle and paste it in the destination image
Select the object I want to color and use the eyedropper tool to select the color from the copied rectangle
(A layer with rectangles of different colors is sometimes handy for setting up a color scheme and using it consistently.)
You can also create bitmap patterns to use as fills for vector objects. Fireworks comes with quite a few, but it's easy to add your own. Here are a couple of tutorials

Having trouble 'replacing colour' in Photoshop Elements 12 + help does not work?

I was trying to use the 'replace colour' function as found by going :-
Enhance >
Adjust Colour >
Replace Colour
Not knowing how it worked, I tried the context sensitive help in light blue. 'Learn More About'
This would not load but gave me this response:-

This 'help' seems to work everywhere else [well at least in the places I have tried so far.]
So why is this? has anyone else had this specific area of HELP fail? I need to know is it just my system, is it accessing this HELP stuff over the net, or is it preloaded when you by the retail pack?
Course it would be in an area I can not make work!
Note Other areas of help in this general menu area work eg
i.e. the options either side of this all work fine.
Any views guidance welcome.
Other than reload the product! LOL I just don't have a spare week to waste getting it all going again!

Hi Nealeh
Thanks i think I got it working of a fashion.
Except the replace colour, does not seem to end up with the colour I picked using the picker tool. Its as though it hads not replaced the colour but blended in the desired colour with the old incorrect colour!
Buy trial and error picking not the right colour but close - which when mixed with the existing colour is close.
Sorry I can't post the pictures as the Lingerie Mfg, has me under non disclosure.
The scenario is:- say a blonded mainly tanned model a high cut [at the hips] corsette style basque, with an ultra low bra line.
Our dear model, has just come back from St Barts with a fabulous Tan, and equally striking bold Tan lines!.
So we have great tanned legs, then the 'porcelain white band' where her swimsuit was.
Likewise we have a tanned face, and arms, shoulders etc and a great tan on the top of the cleavage, then it stops, white band to the top of the ultralow cut bra line of the basque.
She must have lived in like the most conservative bikini on the planet [50's style], for 2 weeks!
Had she had a normal skimpy bikini on, no problem!
If i don't solve it, she will get fired!
Not a lack of interest in your post, but I was out, and tried to log in to this site; which I could do, on my iPad Air / 5 [whatever its the new one]. And tried to 'sign in' - but it just hung at the
"Join Adobe Community" adobe sign in splash screen! with he little whell spinning around continuously!!!
I have Safari on this iPad. Guess that is all it runs.
So technology is not my friend today!

Problem with replacing colour in posterised image

Hello,
I am looking for help with a problem I am havng in trying to create a Warhol type poster image
I have scanned in a B & W image as a tiff file(epson v750 pro).
I have then opened the image in CS4.
then used the poster edge filter.
I have then have to clone large areas to clean it up (remove speckels to clean the image to get large areas to white).
I want to then replace the white area (already cleaned to get it to white) with yelow for example. I have change the mode from greyscale to RGB to allow me to add colours.
I can select the colour replace tool and select my colour(Colour picker tool, yellow).
But the image is not taking the colour. Nothing is being painted on the image.
I have tried so many times. some times I am getting the replacing colour on only about half of the image (going left to right). It still leaves
I thought thi smight have had something to do with the cloning action. but the half of the image that takes the colour has large parts of it cloned to white.
It is not possible to clone the image before using the poster filter as there is no true white in it.
I am under a bit of pressure to have this completed by Friday for a Birthday party.
Any help greatly Appreciated.
Many Thanks

You didn't really say how many colors you needed to make it. There are a couple of ways to do this, some are destructive and others are non-destructive.
I assume the shades of gray are quite distinct. The more contrast between the shades the easier it is to select the shades.
First option is destructive - Select all of one shade, then hit shift-backspace both keys on right side of keyboard. This will bring up the fill dialog box. here you can select a color and click ok then the selected areas will have that color.
Second way non-destructive. Create a new layer and fill it with the color that you want, createanother layer and fill that one and so on untill you have all the colors that you need.
Now select the layer the image is on and create your first selection of one of the shades. Click on the layer that has the color that you want. Next click on the icon at the bottom of the layer panel that looks like a circle inside a square. You selection should now disappear and a new icon on the layer of that color.
Repat for each color.
If the colors are blocking your imsge which odds are they will be, click on the eye icon on the color layer to temporarally make it not visible. And repeat for any layer blocking your view. Clicking the where the eye was will make it visible again.
The second way may seam more difficult, but once you have the selections done for each color layer, it is a simple process to change the color at any time or remove that layer all together or better yet click the eye. The point is once the hard work is done should you change your mind, it is extremely simple to change latter on. As long as you save your file to include layers you can change this any time later on. Both tiff and psd allow you to save layers.
An additional option: if your image as a texture or other details that you want to keep, change the blend mode on that colors layer from normal to color or hue. You might even want to try out some of the other blend modes and see how they effect your image. Doing this step to an image with details will make it more beleiveable. In fact option two and this step is the way to go if there are details in the image as with out blending, or reducing the opacity of the color layers, it would look like a color by number.

Hi it's me rabia and i'm apple user
I want to change my cell phone because it's having scratches on it and i also feel like its home button did't work correctly
So i want to know that can i have a new cell phone on replace of this one at any nearby of my house App store without any cost ?
But i'm not having any line yet on my phone i use it on net mostly so what is the scene can i have or can't ??
please inform me soon !

Is your phone still covered by warranty? If so, go to your nearest Apple store and depending on what happened, this may or may not be covered by warranty. If it is, then you can get a replacement exactly as the phone you already have.
If out of warranty, then there is nothing you can do and you'll have to pay.

IPhoto library Gone! (replaced in just one click w/o ever dragging 2 Trash)

iPhoto library gone / replaced in just one click (w/ o ever dragging anything to the trash)!
I currently own multiple PowerMacs all sharing the same high speed local network. All of them run the latest / Mac OS X.4.9 and have multiple HD’s (both internal and external) as well as iLife’ 06. And all of them also have iChatAV3 and are able to video chat one with the other at will while on the same local high speed network.
This is my very first iPhoto library nightmare since I’ve owned a mac. and yes I’ve always been conditioned to backup everything one wishes to keep. This particular scenario is no different. (altho my back up HD for one of the three G4 computers involved was a bit dated by at least 6 months).
This was essentially triggered via two separate iLife ‘06 apps , namely iPhoto and iChatAV3 (combined with at least an ounce of stupidity on my part). That combined with 2 people not communicating properly / being on the same page (or rather the same Folder) when working on the very same task. Hey... I do NOT claim to be an expert at this particular application even though I have used macs since apple first introduced the Apple IIe decades ago. So this does not stem from lack of experience but rather not thinking things thru entirely in terms of all the possible consequences of simple, yet catastrophic actions when it comes to replacing or authenticating one particular folder containing the entire iPhoto Library simply titled “pictures”.
Starts like this, ichatav is open on 2 of three macs and my teenage daughter asks me to send her a roll of pictures she downloaded into my computer (since it’s twice as fast as her own) from her digital still camera. Now she wants all 12 photos on her computer as well. So I drag all 12 photos to my desktop and place them in a folder titled “Jackies pics”. I drag this folder to her icon on my buddy list and ichat AV simply refuses to allow sending the entire folder and ask me to send them one at a time. That should have been my first clue. Strange I thought. Always worked well in the past. Why not now? So I tell her over ichatav that the app simply won’t allow me to send her the entire folder and that I’ll have to send them one at a time. Please make a new folder on your HD called Jackie’s pics. She agrees and creates a folder on her end called .... (you guessed it) ...... “pictures”...... to which she drags each of the 12 images I sent over our local network.
Little did she realize this newly created folder has the makings of an atomic bomb when it comes to importing the entire folder into iPhoto’s library on her own mac. A dialog box quickly materializes asking that she “authenticate” or hit cancel. So she ask me what to do. I said that’s fine, hit authenticate (assuming she titled it Jackies pics). BIG mistake! She hits authenticate and now she has the 12 images I sent her in iPhoto....BUT .... the 1600 or so originals in the entire iPhoto library quickly vanishes. Her entire iphoto library is now wiped out or rather replaced with this new folder. She asks me, what happened? And in less than 30 seconds she in complete tears. Over 2-3 years of her photos (all 1600 images) gone in the click of a mouse.
Today is father’s day .... and I remembered that I have a complete backup of her HD (even though it is a bit dated). So together, we managed to recover about 90% of the lost images. If anyone reading this knows how I can possibly recover the final 10% (most current photos) then please help us.
Bottom line: We were fortunate. This Father’s Day iPhoto Nightmare ended happily....
TIA

Just another update .... Today, my daughter was multitasking on her G4 powermac working within iPhoto as well as email account and last but not least the latest iTunes. As she opened this final app (and I mean "final").... her entire hard drive bit the dust after she saw the spinning beachball and hence attempted to force quit. (I should also point out we are having a heat wave in San Diego today ...which also may have contributed to this hardware issue mainly).
This time, I had a complete updated copy of her HD and simply cloned it to a new hard drive. Took me a few hours to troubleshoot, clone and install a new drive in its place. But all is working normally again (sure hope it stays that way this time).
Friendly reminder to those who read this post .....
BACKUP, BACKUP, BACKUP .... ESPECIALLY IN IPHOTO & ITUNES!

How can i start a new user profile service in ordre to replace an old one ?

hi
i create a new user profile service in ordre to replace an old one
when i use : Get-SPServiceApplication i can see that hi is created but
when i use Get-SPServiceInstance i can see it i can see only the old one

Hi,
The Get-SPServiceInstance returns the services instance for a specific server or the entire farm. The service instance GUID is unique to every farm and cannot be changed.
For starting a fresh with the User Profile Service configuration, you can unprovision and re-provision the User Profile Service:

I would apply or reapply the 10.6.8. Combo Update from Safe Boot (hold Shift down at startup -- give it much more time to boot than usual and leave it in SB for a few minutes before doing anything.)

I got some applications like games etc installed on my iphone through a friend's pc.
Were these apps downloaded via your own iTunes AppStore account or your friends?

That's correct. iTunes will delete any apps you have not downloaded through your own iTunes account. If you did use your own iTunes account, choose iTunes > File > Transfer purchases... to move the apps into your own iTunes Library.

Re-download the apps through your own iTunes account (pay for them if necessary). Apps cannot be shared between different iTunes user accounts.

I have over 16,000 songs in my iTunes library so I manually manage the music on all my devices. I bought a new iPod to replace an older one. I'd like to transfer all 900 songs to my new device without having to handpick each song. Is there a way to do it?

No. I have quite a few more 16,000, so I don't manually manage. Making playlists for each device makes things much easier to organize. You can create regular lists of essential tracks and smart playlists to automatically catch new content, top rated, most played etc. If you'd done it this way all along configuring a new or restored device would be the work of moments.

I have just bought an iPod Nano to replace my previous one which died,when I open my iTunes it does not show the new iPod, and refuses to allow me to sync my existing library, the new iPod does not show in my computer only on devices, any suggestions ?

Question: I have just bought an iPod Nano to replace my previous one which "died" My computer does not recognize the new iPod and only shows it in devices and printers. I cannot sync my existing iTunes to the new iPod, there is no way I can do it. Any help please?

Hey there longislandmacca,
It sounds like your iPod is not recognized in either Explorer, or in iTunes on your PC. That can be frustrating, expecially when its a new device. I recommend you use the following article to help resolve that issue named:

Thank you for your suggestions. I downloaded a more recent version of Twain, but this didn't help. I also tried closing and opening Photo Shop and restarting my computer without success. Reinstalling Photo Shop sounds like a very promising solution, but I'm not sure I will do it. In the meantime I can scan items using a printer program. These scans open in Photo Shop. It is an extra step.
