Replacing some grey tones with color?

Hello,
For this school project I need to make a design for a big wall in an accountancy/economy theme.
My idea is to desaturate a bunch of pictures related to the theme, and make the middle or lower grey tones green.
I couldn't find a tutorial on the internet so I was wondering if someone here could help me.
Thank you for your help,
Finn

use 2 layers, colors on one and desaturated images on another, and mask one set
or use one layer and apply a hue/sat adjustment layer with mask to desat parts via white parts of mask

Difficulties replacing some BC functionality with XI (refer to example)

Difficulties replacing some BC functionality with XI (refer to example)
I am transferring all interface processing from BC to XI and am having difficulties replacing some of the current BC functionality. Please refer to my example below
Current process
SAP R/3
SAP R/3 executes an abap that extracts certain data. This data is passed via a remote function which is configured to point to Business Connector
Business Connector
Business Connector takes control and the relevant package does some internal processing then calls the remote enabled function BAPI_ACC_BILLING_POST
SAP R/3
Control is returned to SAP R/3 to post the data and on completion control is returned to Business Connector
Business Connector
Business Connector again takes control where some more processing is done to generate an xml version of the data prior to returning control back to SAP R/3
SAP R/3
Control is returned to the abap immediately following the call to the remote function and processing completes
The initial synchronous call from SAP R/3 to Business Connector remains open whilst Business Connector executes a subsequent synchronous call to SAP R/3.
Finally the initial synchronous call in SAP R/3 completes
Proposed Process
I am transferring all interface processing from BC to XI and am having difficulties replacing some of the current BC functionality. In this instance I can set up the initial synchronous call via an XI Integration Process (sync/async bridge). This allows me to perform subsequent asynchronous calls prior to closing the synchronous bridge
I have successfully performed synchronous calls to SAP R/3 from XI for different scenarios and have set up the XI design and config in the same manner
When I try to perform the synchronous posting back to SAP R/3 from within the SA bridge I get the message Message is incomplete. No Sender found
Unlike BC, it appears that XI does not allow me to perform the synchronous posting back to SAP R/3 from within the SA bridge.
Refer to http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/83/d2a84028c9e469e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm for the SAP description To enable the communication between a synchronously calling business system (synchronous outbound interface) and an asynchronously called business system (asynchronous inbound and outbound interface), you can define a sync/async bridge in an integration process. You can only define one sync/async bridge for each integration process.
How can I replace the current BC functionality using XI?
Regards,
Mike

Hi all,
I cannot replicate the current BC functionality in XI
So I will take this opportunity to simplify and improve the design for XI --> R/3

Mike

Dock has replaced some app icons with question marks

In my case, EndHangingDisconnect (which I hope I'll never need), the beta of QuarkXpress 7 and Palm Desktop. I can add these apps to the dock and launch them thereafter but the question marks remain. What gives and how do I get rid of them?

Problems with colors running CS4 and W7.

Hey everyone.
I'm having some MASSIVE problems with colors on my system.
Windows 7 Prof 64bit
Photoshop CS4 64bit
6g Ram
1T hard drive
Nvidia GeForce 9800 GTX+
Dell SE198WFP Monitor
The system itself is a Dell Inspiron 530 that I put into a Black Widow V9 gaming tower.
Here is an example of the issue I'm having:
http://findae.deviantart.com/art/Converge-101214480
http://i38.tinypic.com/bjcymr.jpg
The top image is a (admittedly old and crappy, but it shows the problem) photo that I had previously edited and put in my portfolio. The tinypic below is the result of copying that photo from the portfolio, pasting it into photoshop, and then saving it into a jpg. As you can see, the transitions between colors and the contrast are a complete mess.
Thing is, my hard drive recently quit on me, and I had to install the operating system and such on a new drive. I remember having this problem with the system when I first had it, but it either went away on its own or I fixed it somehow before. Now I can't remember for the life of me how I got rid of the problem, and I certainly don't know what the problem is in the first place. I'm tempted to think it may not be photoshop itself, but the problem seems to be especially bad when I'm working with photos.
Anyone have any idea what the problem might be and how to solve it?
Edit: I also noticed it when viewing http://findae.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d1hni37 in firefox, whereas the other photo appeared to be ok before I copied and pasted it. It has extremely obvious lines of green and orange in the transition from light skin tone to dark skin tone. Annoyingly enough, this doesn't show up in the thumbnail within my gallery at all, only when I click on the thumbnail and see the fullsize image. Extremely frustrating.
Here's another good look at the problem while selecting a color in photoshop: http://i37.tinypic.com/2h6t7gh.jpg All I did was screenshot it a few times, and it deteriorated to that point.

Screen glitches like color blocks appearing where they shouldn't could indicate a problem with your video drivers.
Go to the nVidia site and see if they've released any updated drivers; people often report that updated drivers are correcting current problems with Photoshop.

Running iphoto 6.06 some of my images have been replaced by a grey box with a dotted line? How can I rectify this?

Hi I have about 2% of my library replaced by a grey background with a dotted lined box where the image should be?
Any ideas why or how to return my images?

I too have no use for the new Photos. Trying to sort through 6,000+ photos by dates (some that are incorrect) was very time consuming. I was looking for a way to reinstall iPhoto from my Time Capsule because I thought that Apple had done away with iPhoto on my computer. I found this bit of information. I now have iPhoto back and am not wasting time trying to find photos anymore. (No I did not have them sorted into albums because I found the Event sort to be perfect for me and those were my 'albums'.) I don't know anything about the $3.99 a month. However, I do not put my photos in iCloud and did not transfer my library to iCloud when it asked me. Hope this helps.
Using iPhoto and Aperture after you migrate to Photos
iPhoto — and Aperture, if you downloaded it — remains on your system in the Applications folder, and you can continue to use it. If you open iPhoto or Aperture after you upgrade to Photos, you’ll be asked if you want to open your library there or in Photos.
Any changes or edits you make in iPhoto or Aperture aren't reflected in Photos. And any changes or edits you make in Photos will not be reflected in iPhoto or Aperture.

Shuts down after start tone and grey screen with pin wheel...!???

Hi all, first time here so please bear with me,
even though i have had my imac for so long now, i have only in the last three to four months started playing around with it, i really am a newcomer to macs, and pc's come to that! so far i have only connected up to the internet and put a couple of home video's onto dvd, and play music.
i have been reading a lot of the other posts and frankly i'm lost!
it is about 20 months old and was bought in the uk, i live in cyprus and for that reason i did not purchase an apple plan.
we do not have an apple store here although there is an apple dealer, however they are not soley apple and over here service leaves a lot to be desired! so i am reluctant to take it to them as they are likely to just keep replacing parts and eventually present me with a huge bill!!
anyhow this is the problem:
several times the screen went dim and froze, with a message saying to "push the power button to switch off and and then switch on again", it seems this happened each time when i opened azureus? after this happened a few times it would no longer open the desk top, it would load normally,ie. grey screen with pin wheel followed by blue progress bar and then just a blank blue screen, the blue tooth mouse however was still connected as the cursor would move. it has now changed again! start up tone and grey apple screen with pin wheel for about 30secs or so, then the fan seems to go into turbo mode for a few secs before switching off....i feel sick!! i was really getting to like my mac.
i did recently install tiger, but there were no problems at all with that and it is running on a friends apple with no problems at all, more recently i added more memory which coincided with when i started using torrentspy and azureus,
i did read in another forum something about possible memory probs, so i followed the tip to remove the memory and the back up battery and leave the computer unplugged for 24hrs, i replaced the battery but not the memory, i'm still getting exactly the same shut down result.....
can anyone shed some light on this pleeease? i'm feeling rather desperate right now.....thanks.

Hi ino,
My suspicion is that you have serious hard drive directory corruption caused by the crashes when using azureus.
First step is to see whether you can boot up from your Mac OS X DVD . Put it in the drive while its on, and start up the computer again while holding down the "c" key. The computer should now start up from the DVD.
Select the language you wish to use, and then choose "Disk Utility" from the menu bar (which menu it is in depends on which version of OSX you are using).
Your HD should appear in a panel on the left hand side of the window which opens. Select it and then click on the "repair disk" button in the right hand section of the window.
If Disk First aid is able to complete the repair now click on the "Repair permissions" button.
Once this process has been completed try restarting the computer.
If it still doesn't work, you may have to try an "archive and install", while booted from the OSX DVD.
Be very wary with software like "azureus".
Cheers
Rod

Need help with color replacement tool ps CS6

I am trying to use the color replacement tool to change the color of a shirt on a picture. I have choosen white as the foreground color, but when I go to paint it comes out grey.... I tried using colors from the swatch and the same thing is happening. When I choose a different color say red for example... the color that gets painted is some version of red but not the red that I have chosen.
What am I missing?

Funny never had to use that tool before. Anyway, what I found play with that tool was the color applied is totally dependent on the luminosity of the color below it. It other words it protects highlights and shadows for example. Which would block it from creating pure white.
To see how this works, the color adjustment layer has an option to preserve luminosity.
But in the end, you will use hue/saturation as it provides greater control. Plus you can clip to a layer or use a mask on it. Can't beat all that non-destructive process going on.

Trouble with color on Presario, No red tones on display. Not a monitor issue.

Am experiencing trouble with color on Presario, model no. CQ5500F. Purchased a couple of years ago, and trouble was present immediately. Am getting no red tones - red items appear black or sometimes blue. Was told by HP that it was a monitor issue, and let computer slide out of warranty. installed new monitor today and problem still exists. Is this merely a display adjustment of some kind? Or will I have to pay HP their $99 for a one time fix? Any suggestions appreciated.

Hello UncleBob62,
It could be the display driver that is not properly working
1. Click on the start icon
2. Right click on computer and go to properties
3. Select Device Manager
4. Expand display adapters and right click on the video card driver and uninstall
The computer screen will go blank
On the keyboard press the windows key the right arrow key twice and then the letter R.
At this point your computer is going to reboot. After the reboot Windows will install generic drivers for your video card. Do you still see a lack of red tones?

Why are my color choices coming out only in grey tones?

I am using photoshop CS2. for some reason in the picture im working on, i am only able to work in black, white and shades of grey. i choose color (green, say) for the forground color, and by the time i've said "ok" and gone back to the work space, its shown me a grey that is the same tone as the green i chose...but grey none the less. weird, right?

go to Image-Mode and make sure you're not in Greyscale mode. Switch to RGB and then you should be okay.

I am having some huge problems with my colorspace settings. Every time I upload my raw files from my Canon 5D mark II or 6D the pics are perfect in color. That includes the back of my camera, the pic viewer on my macbook pro, and previews. They even look normal when I first open them in photoshop. I will edit, save, and then realize once i've sent it to myself to test the color is WAY off. This only happens in photoshop. I've read some forums and have tried different things, but it seems to be making it worse. PLEASE HELP! Even viewing the saved image on the mac's pic viewer is way off once i've edited in photoshop. I am having to adjust all my colors by emailing myself to test. Its just getting ridiculous.

Check the color space in camera raw, the options are in the link at the bottom of the dialog box. Then when saving make sure you save it to the srgb color space when sending to others. Not all programs understand color space and or will default to srgb. That won't necessarily mean it will be accurate, but it will put it in the ballpark. Using save for web will use the srgb color space.

I am experiencing some major problems with my MacBook Pro. I have had some issues with it turning on/off at random times, but today, when starting, I get the grey start-up screen and a recovery bar. After filling in approx 1/4 of the way, the machine dies

I am experiencing some major problems with my MacBook Pro. I have had some issues with it turning on/off at random times, but today, when starting, I get the grey start-up screen and a recovery bar. After filling in approx 1/4 of the way, the machine dies. After starting it in recovery mode, it will not allow me to download OS X Mavericks- it says the disk is locked. Any ideas? I do not have a back-up and do not want to erase everything before I have explored my options. Help?

try forcing internet recover, hold 3 keys - command, option, r - you should see a spinning globe
most people will tell you to do both pram and smc resets (google) and if you still have issues, either clean install (easy) or troubleshoot (hard)

Just want to replace some video with photos, but LEAVE AUDIO THERE. No way?

Is there no simple way to just replace some video with other video or photos, but not affect audio? I have an interview, and they're talking about places, and I want to put in photos of the places. Pretty basic stuff.
Thanks for whatever help...

OK, yeah, CUTAWAY. But, I have the audio "purpled". Should it be? And my photo is sitting ABOVE the place where I want it. How do I get it to go down where it's supposed to? I really need a step-by-step here. I see how to manage the duration of the cutaway, but I don't see how to actually get it INTO the track, and how to "un-purple" the audio track.
Thank you!

Why have some apps on my Ipad turned into a grey box with lines in it?

3 apps on my ipad have turned from icons into grey boxes with lines in them. When I click on them, they try updating but it doesn't complete. What's going on here? Is this some kind of virus?

Not a virus. More like a glitch. When mine did that all I needed to do was to open the apps and the icons reset.
If you won't lose any game progress or the such, you could try to delete and then redownload the apps.
If you're having issues downloading the apps, try to go into the settings, iTUnes and app store, sign out and then sign back in.
The app store has been a bit wiggy lately. I've had some issues downloading apps or updates and it's not on my end, it's on Apple's end. Which, unfortunately, means there's not much a user can do but wait for Apple to fix it.
