Replace one channel by another on only one layer, leaving the others intact?

Hello. In a CMYK image, I need to turn on only one layer one channel completely into another, while the others remain intact. The M channel (the M on that layer) contains information, but I can't print M in this place. I want to change it into an equal amount of K (or into C, in the present case, or even into a mixture of the two). I know how to do this to an entire image (change into greyscale, duotone or whatever may apply). But since I need this to apply to only one (or a selection of) layer(s), leaving all others intact, this is not an option here. I'm sure there's a way to achive this, but I can't find it. Any advice would be much appreciated.

hello, thanks for your replies. As far as I understand, Channel Mixer (i.e., an Adjustment Layer containing a Channel Mixer applied to the layer in question) allows me to reduce one channel to zero,
You are completely correct up to here...
Then choose K as the desired output channel at the top of the palette and slide the M (source) slider to the desired value.  You can choose more output channels by going to each output channel in turn.
The way it works is slightly confusing at first, but in a nutshell, you choose your output channel first, then mixture of sources.  Then move to another output channel and the sources will be at the default position for THAT output channel only.  Each channel has a set of source channels assigned to it.
Default;  black output channel = 100% black source, 0% CMY
So your example is black output = 100% black source plus 100% mag source (although I expect you are going to change black source to 0)
AND magenta output = 0% Magenta 0% CYK source  (no mag output at all)

  • Replace one char with the other

    I am reading a path,when i use the system path with the \ slash in java its not compatible in windows,
    is there any facility in java for replacing the rightslash with the forward slash
    i.e when we encounter '/' i wanna to replace it with '\'
    sample code needed
    please help me
    thank in advance,
    with regards

    The java file handling code will work with paths containing forward slashes, even on windows. If you want to convert to backslashes before displaying to the user or calling native code, then something like the following should work:
    String myPath = "C:/Windows";
    myPath = myPath.replace('/', '\\');

  • I have CS6 and CC installed on my mac when I'm using CS6 and use bridge CC activates how can I set this to only work on one and not the other

    I have CS6 and CC installed on my mac when I'm using CS6 and use bridge CC activates how can I set this to only work on one and not the other

    If you want Bridge CS6 to open when using Photoshop CS6, you must quit Bridge CC.
    Then File menu > Browse in Bridge will bring up Bridge CS6.
    If Bridge CC is already open, The File > Browse in Bridge for Photoshop CS6 will use Bridge CC and Bridge CS6 will not open.
    I hope that's the answer you were looking for.

  • 2 Apple TV's; Mirroring to one but not the other

    Help me Apple Communities you're my only hope.*
    I have 2 Apple TV's on the local network, bothe with Airplay enabled. One labelled AppleTV, the other labelled TV Upstairs.While I can happily stream music and video to both devices from iOS or the MacBook Pro, Mirroring is another matter.
    On my iPad 2 when I select Airplay to the Apple TV it comes up with the option for Mirroring. However selecting the TV Upstairs Apple TV does not provide this option, and only  sound output only, with quite a delay. The iPad 2 is iOS5, and both Apple TV's are latest stable release. The Time Capsule is upstair with the Upstairs AppleTV.
    Any ideas for this?
    * guess what I was testing video streaming with.

    I think you may be suffering from the same issue as many others in that case.
    The situation over the current update seems a little unsure at the present time.
    4.4 was released, it was then replaced by 4.4.1, which itself was removed and then made available again, it seems from the number of related post that it may have been removed again.
    Some posters are still reporting success by updating via iTunes but I can't confirm that these posts weren't simply referring to other times when the updates were available.
    I'd be inclined to sit tight and try again at a later time.

  • How do I combine all my calendars into one and delete the others?

    I have a work computer, a home desktop, and Apple air laptop and an 1phone 4s.
    I use Outlook calendar for all my appointments and only need one calendar.
    When I get notifications of my upcoming events on the Oulook page and on my iphone, I get multiple notifications, sometimes as many as 6 times.
    How can I combine all my calendars into one and delete the others?

    Your old account is the one you migrated, but it has been renamed because the new account had the same name. "Fixing" this is a bit complicated. It is possible to transfer data from one account to the other. See Transferring files from one User Account to another.
    A cleaner solution is to do this:
    Create a temporary new admin user account with a completely different username.
    Log into this new account.
    Delete the new account you created before migrating.
    Delete the old account you migrated that has the changed name.
    Re-migrate your old account from the Mini.
    Log into the newly migrated account and delete the temporary account.
    And, the simplest solution is to use the migrated account as-is and delete the account you originally made on the new computer.

  • How do I link multiple Spry Accordions so that when one is opened the other ones close?

    I have created a web site using six Spy Accordions as the menu. I know this is not what they are usually used for but the animation as they open was just right for the site. I've gotten them working just as perfectly as I could want, with one exception. Because there are six independent accordions they all open and close independently. What I want is a way to link them so that when you open up one it closes the others so only one is open at a time. I've looked and looked for anyone anywhere talking about this and I've found nothing. I'm not even sure if it's possible. I know that Spry is being fazed out and jQuary is basically replacing it. I have considered heading in that direction but I've put so much time into this and it works so perfectly except that one thing. Here's the website for referance: http://journeywilderness.com/
    Please... if anyone has any ideas about how to make only one Accordion open at a time please please help me. I'm frustrated beyond words at this.
    Thank you.

    You're trying to use Spry Accordions for something they were never intended to do.   Why don't you switch to a more appropriate jQuery Mega Menu?

    In case you missed the announcement, Spry is dead.  Adobe abandoned it late last year because it has outlived its usefulness.

  • Script works on one site, not the other... why?

    Could someone tell me why this prototype-based lightbox seems

    site but not on the other?
    I literally took the exact same .js & css files, copied
    them over from one

    site.

    Been troubleshooting this one for days, and I'm stumped.
    Script wants
    nothing to do with lightboxing HTML files on the new site.
    Only straight
    JPGs.

    That's what I told a helper friend of mine, but he told me
    the POST is done
    by the server, not the JS files. That's why, according to
    him, he couldn't
    tell me what code to change in the .js files.
    But here they are, if you would be so kind as to tell me WHAT
    to replace
    with WHAT so the call is made properly. :-)
    http://www.vilverset.com/scripts/control.modal.2.2.3.js
    http://www.vilverset.com/scripts/effects.js
    http://www.vilverset.com/scripts/prototype.js
    Those are the 3 files needed for the script.
    Should I be banging on Dreamhost's door to fix something, or
    not? Because
    the exact same 3 files will render an HTML page just fine
    over on
    roxanacampagiorni.com.
    Which is the guilty party? The script, or the server config?

  • How can I import my iphotos from one account to the other?

    Someone knows step by step iphoto from one account to the other. I am admin but still I do not know how to bring my iphotos to a different account
    thanks for help

    Just the Photos?
    Export them from iPhoto to a folder on the desktop
    Put that folder in the Users/Shared folder.
    Switch User.
    Drag the folder from the Shared folder to whereever you want it.
    Share the Library?
    For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
    What you mean by 'share'.
    If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
    Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
    Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
    If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
    Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder (but note: some users find ongoing permissions issues with the Library in this location. It might be better to use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
    In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
    However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

  • When I use Home sharing, I can see the library I want to copy, but when I highlight the library, the import button does not show up. Also, it will not let me drop and drag. How do I get music from one computer to the other computer?

    When I use Home Sharing, I can see the library I want to copy under Shared, but I can't get it save on the computer under the regular library. I go to edit and "select all" but there is no import button that is in the right hand corner. Also, it will not let me click and drag the music. How do I get it from one computer to the other?

    Since both computers are connected via the network, you could simply copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from one computer to another via the network.
    If both computers are running Windows, use the Easy File Transfer Utility built into Windows to move iTunes and all other user media/data.

  • If I use the same iCloud account for my ipad and iPhone, will changes I make on one change on the other as well?  I'm not sure of the advantage of using teh same iCloud for both devices.

    If I use the same iCloud account for my ipad and iPhone, will changes I make on one change on the other as well?  I'm not sure of the advantage of using teh same iCloud for both devices.

    No, it only mirrors changes to synced data.  This includes mail, contacts, calendars, reminders, safari bookmarks, notes, iWork documents and data, and photo stream photos (assuming you choose to sync all this data).  Changes to iTunes data such as music, apps, podcasts, etc., are not synced using iCloud.  In your example, if you delete an app from one device it will remain on the other until deleted there too.
