Seclecting color for adj brush

In Lightroom 2/3, I can drag eyedropper tool off of color palate panel display and onto the image ( in dev. mode ), and thereby select a specific hue which is then selected for the color adj. brush. This is great!!!!
Why does this not work in Camera Raw 6.1?

Because Camera Raw is a plug-in and limited by the API of the plug-in environment and Lightroom is an application that can do things that plug-ins can;t. Note ACR can do some things LR can't. So, the bottom line is that while the Camera Raw/Lightroom processing pipeline is capable of rendering images exactly the same, the usability and the functionality is going to be a bit different.

Additional options for Photoshop Brushes pop-up window

I created Brushes to add borders or edges arround images and for every brush 4 different angles: 0, 90, 180, 270 because it is much easier to change from right click pop-up window or using , and . keyboard shortcuts then opening Brush panel or to use Options Bar every single time. What I suggest is to add at least Flip X and Flip Y in right click pop-up window from Brush Tip Shape tab. It will be great to have and angle control and clicable icon (or keyboard shortcut) to set options for current Brush as for previous. Here I mean options like Wet Edges, Color Dynamics and so on. I like randomness of colors whith Color Dynamics and Air brush mode but colors changing too fast, can you add some control over it for example to press some key and slow down display of color randomness. I know what to do to save every brush with preferred options but I plan to share this brushes and those preferences may not be very exciting for other users.

Often, the feedback/feature request sub-forms are disbanded and shut down, when a new version is released. Not sure if that happened here, but if the last post is close to the CS 5.5 releases, then it might explain it. In a case like this, should the sub-form be closed, it would be nice to get a sticky telling everyone that it is now closed.

I am trying to use the adj brush but when i zoom in i cant get the brush only see the hand

each time i try to use the adj brush i zoom in and then hit either k or the adj brush but i dont see the brush just the zoom hand...can you help me or tell me what i am doing wrong...

You haven't exactly provided a lot of information on what you're doing, so it's tad difficult to say what you're doing wrong.
The brush will show as the Zoom tool until the preview is fully rendered.
To zoom in Lightroom develop module you can press down on the Spacebar and the Brush tool should switch to the Zoom tool, click on the image to zoom then release the spacebar. The cursor should switch back to the brush. If you continue to hold down the Spacebar the cursor changes to the Hand tool. The key is to NOT hold down the spacebar for any longer than necessary.
You can also use the Z key to zoom in/out. Some find it works MUCH better as it eliminates the need to switch the cursor icon.

Color Balance Adj Layer Characteristics Changed from CS4- CS5?

Maybe some guru with better connections to Adobe knows the answer to this. (or maybe I just forgot).
I just discovered (and I don't think it is pilot error) that the characteristic behavior of the Color Balance Adjustment Layer is different in CS5 than it was in CS4/CS3. (Much stronger in CS4/CS3).
In addition, there is also an associated behavior that is like a buried legacy mode that is not made visible to the user. Here is what I mean.
If I create an image in CS4 with a single Color Balance Adj Layer, I get an adjusted image.
If I open that same PSD file in CS5, the same image is displayed.
If I use the same base image, yet create the Color Balance Adj Layer from within CS5, the adjusted image is different than the prior two.   So the Color Adjustment Layer acts like it has a hidden legacy mode where the characteristics are one type if created in CS4/CS3 yet a different characteristic if created in CS5.
My mind might be slipping (or my cold has the better of me) because I do not remember this as a documented change and I searched the internet for "What's new in CS5" etc etc. I don't remember anything on other forums about this either.
I guess the good news is, the new characteristic of the Color Balance Adjustment Layer is better behaved with a transfer curve with less clipping for highlights and shadows. Very similar to the better behavior of the change of the Brightness/Contrast Adjustment Layer going from CS2 to CS3.
Here are some comparison images.
This is the Layer Stack Used with Base Image of simple B to W gradient with CB Layer on top with just the highlights pegged to red. This is the exact same Layer Stack for all of the images shown:
Here is the first image. This was created in PS CS4 and displayed from CS4 with the conditions show above:
This is the same image from above that was saved as PSD with profile and them imported to PS CS5 with same profile. There was no change:
This next image is using the same base gradient, yet then creating the CB Layer from within PS CS5 with the same parameters, only the Red pegged for the Highlights:
Does someone have an easy answer for this. Can someone duplicate this and confirm the change from CS4 to CS5. A test by someone else would either confirm I am off base with pilot error or there is something to this.
And yes, all the images were sRGB and kept in sRGB for creation/display. All Screenshot images were the images brought up side by side on the same color managed monitor.   All Edit > Color Settings were identical.
Thanks in advance for any help
John

OK, Chris, but before I perform my act of self flaggelation for the benefit for all and my extra embarrassment, let me add in some useful information about the Color Balance Adj Layer that could be helpful.
I was working with another individual who wanted a better understanding the color balance adj layer, what is was exactly doing, how the shadows, midtones, and highlights interacted, and the differences with preserve luminosity checked or not, and also why the preserve luminosity was so hard to predict (e.g. did not really preserve luminoisty).
Without going into the deails of all of that, the tidbit I will leave as far as penance for my stupid original post above is that the Color Balance Adj Layer with the Preserve Luminosity box checked does a reasonable job or preserving luminoisty for the midtone adjustments yet definitely does not for the shadow and highlight adjustments.
An easy workaround for this is to just set the Color Balance Adj Layer Blend to Color which preserves Luminosity of the image presented from lower layers while maintaining the Color as best it can from using the CB Adj Layer (It holds the Hue and does its best to keep the same Saturation yet the Luminoisty from the presented image from lower layers takes prescendence). This does a much better job at preserving Luminosity than using the checkbox option.    I usually use this approach and keep the Preserve Luminiosity box turned off.
The error that I made was during the fairly involved exchange with this other individual, at some point I accidentally set the Layer Mask for the CB Adj Layer to 50% gray and did not notice that it had changed from the default white. Much further down the line, when this other individual could not exactly recreate my results, he mentioned working in CS3. Thinking this odd, I pulled up CS3, created the image from scratch (without the erroneous mask change to 50% gray) so therefore I duplicated his results and did not realize the error was in my original Layer Stack. To make a long story short, I went and checked for differences in all system settings, profiles, Color Settings, opacity settings, Blend settings, Layer Style settings (and their options) etc, etc and overlooked a change in the Mask gray level.       When I quickly flashed back and forth between the two documents/stack it finally popped out at me. Mea Culpa.

Photoshop: values for type, brush, crop, lasso etc tools broken on Leopard

I posted this in answer to another thread, but decided that it may be helpful to some Photoshop users if it had its own topic:
The following is a technote copied from Adobe's forums, regarding the performance of several menus for key tool settings in Photoshop CS3 running in Leopard:
*Changing values for type, brush, crop, lasso etc tools broken on Leopard*
*Kirsten Harris - 08:58pm Nov 15, 2007 Pacific*
Adobe and Apple are working closely to provide a fix to a known issue running Adobe Photoshop CS3 and Photoshop CS3 Extended on Mac OS X Leopard (v10.5.1). Currently, when you enter values in numerical fields to set sizes for the brush, crop, marquee, lasso, type, and other Photoshop CS3 tools, those values revert to previously entered values when you try to apply them.
# While we have identified workarounds for some of the affected tools, this issue prevents people from working as precisely and intuitively as they expect. Providing a fix to customers is a top priority. Please note the following: The fix will be provided through an update to Mac OS X Leopard. Consequently, it is not part of the Photoshop CS3 (10.0.1) update.
# Apple is collaborating closely with us to get this fix incorporated into a Mac OS X Leopard update. No public schedule is available at this time, but both companies understand the urgency of this fix.
# As soon as the appropriate update to Mac OS X Leopard is available, we will immediately alert our Photoshop users.
Affected Photoshop CS3 tools: Art History tool, Blur tool, Brush tool, Burn tool, Color Replacement tool, Clone tools (all), Crop tool, Dodge tool, Eraser tools (all), Gradient tool, Healing tools (all), History tool, Lasso tools (all), Line tool, Magic Wand tool, Marquee tools (all), Paint Bucket tool, Pencil tool, Polygon tool, Quick Selection tool, Red Eye tool, Rounded Rectangle tool, Sharpen tool, Smudge tool, Sponge tool, Slice tool, Type tool
Workaround for tools with sliders: Instead of typing in a number, use the sliders to change the value.
Workaround for tools with pop-up menus: Enter a value for the size but don’t press Return/Enter to apply the value. Instead, choose it from the top of the Size pop-up menu to commit it.
Workaround for tools which do not have sliders or pop-up menus: For certain tools, such as the Line tool, you may want to set up presets that you can load to set common sizes. Alternatively, you can restart Photoshop CS3 to clear the problem. You will then be able to enter values again. However, the issue typically re-surfaces quickly.
If additional details come to light, our tech doc Values in numerical fields in Photoshop CS3 revert to the previous value in Mac OS X v10.5.1 (Leopard) will be updated.

Well, that's interesting! Here I thought the problem with my CS1 was just that it was too old, running in Rosetta and all, and would be fixed when I get my Xmas treat of CS3. Wonder if that means when the fix comes from Apple it will also fix the same problem in CS1? Of course, by then I'll probably have CS3.... Thanks for posting this, I would have been mighty annoyed to have plonked down my 200 bucks only to discover that I had the same bugs.

Color of adjustment brush in grayscale

hope someone can help me out,
I would like to get the colors of the color picker in the adjustment tool in grayscale,
how can i get it, i see only colors and white.
thanks
Davy

Davy,
It's a colour picker, never a greyscale picker.
With saturation set high, whatever colour you pick gets mixed with the original colour under the brush.
With saturation set to 0, whatever colour you pick replaces the underlying colour.
To paint with grey, you need to set the saturation to 0 and not choose a colour for the brush. Even there, you'll not be able to paint with a uniform grey. The darkness will be determined by the underlying darkness of the image and the exposure and brightness sliders.
Basically, it isn't a painting tool. For that, you'll need to go to a pixel editor.

How to give Common Background color for all JPanels in My Swing application

Hi All,
I am developing a swing application using The Swing Application Framework(SAF)(JSR 296). I this application i have multiple JPanel's embedded in a JTabbedPane. In this way i have three JTabbedPane embedded in a JFrame.
Now is there any way to set a common background color for the all the JPanel's available in the application??
I have tried using UIManager.put("Panel.background",new Color.PINK);. But it did not work.
Also let me know if SAF has some inbuilt method or way to do this.
Your inputs are valuable.
Thanks in Advance,
Nishanth.C

It is not the fault of NetBeans' GUI builder, JPanels are opaque by default, I mean whether you use Netbeans or not.Thank you!
I stand corrected (which is short for +"I jumped red-eyed on my feet and rushed to create an SSCCE to demonstrate that JPanels are... mmm... oh well, they are opaque by default... ;-[]"+)
NetBeans's definitely innocent then, and indeed using it would be an advantage (ctrl-click all JPanels in a form and edit the common opaque property to false) over manually coding
To handle this it would be better idea to make a subclass of JPanel and override isOpaque() to return false. Then use this 'Trasparent Panel' for all the panels where ever transparency is required.I beg to differ. From a design standpoint, I'd find it terrible (in the pejorative sense of the word) to design a subclass to inconsistently override a getter whereas the standard API already exposes the property (both get and set) for what it's meant: specify whether the panel is opaque.
Leveraging this subclass would mean changing all lines where a would-be-transparent JPanel is currently instantiated, and instantiate the subclass instead.
If you're editing all such lines anyway, you might as well change the explicit new JPanel() for a call to a factory method createTransparentJPanel(); this latter could, at the programmer's discretion, implement transparency whichever way makes the programmer's life easier (subclass if he pleases, although that makes me shudder, or simply call thePanel.setOpaque(false) before returning the panel). That way the "transparency" code is centralized in a single easy to maintain location.
I had to read the code for that latter's UI classes to find out the keys to use (+Panel.background+, Label.foreground, etc.), as I happened to not find this info in an authoritative document - I see that you seem to know thoses keys, may I ask you where you got them from?
One of best utilities I got from this forum, written by camickr makes getting these keys and their values very easy. You can get it from his blog [(->link)|http://tips4java.wordpress.com/2008/10/09/uimanager-defaults/]
Definitely. I bit a pair of knucles off when discovered it monthes after cumbersomely traversing the BasicL&F code...
Still, it is a matter-of-fact approach (and this time I don't mean that to sound pejorative), that works if you can test the result for a given JDK version and L&F, but doesn't guarantee that these keys are there to stand - an observation, but not a specification.
Thanks TBM for highlighting this blog entry, that's the best keys list device I have found so far, but the questions still holds as to what specifies the keys.

How to let the user define the colors for each plots in the graph (I use LabVIEW 7)?

How to let the user define the colors for each plots in the graph (I
use LabVIEW 7)?

Hi,
Take a look at this example, it uses property nodes to select tha
active plot and then changes the color of that plot.
If you want to make the number of plots dynamic you could use a for
loop and an array of color boxes.
I hope this helps.

Can you no longer have a background color for the text box in the new version of hp photo creations

just updated to the new version of HP Photo Creations, used to be able to have a colored background for the text box - is that no longer possible in this new (not better) version????!!!!! Uuuuuuuuuugh

Hi Lainey.
Thanks for asking. We're working on bringing back that feature. In the meantime, here's another way to add text backgrounds: Add a placeable graphic and then click the Arrange button to send it to the back, behind the text.
That approach also gives you more interesting shapes. The new alignment guides make it a snap to align a graphic with a text box. In the example below (it may take a day for the image to show up here), I also used the new Premium Editing Features to change the color of the graphic.
P.S. — Applying a thick border to an empty text box (also using the Premium Editing Features) is another way to create a background shape. That has the advantage of letting you pick any color for the box. You'll also find several new text styles at the bottom of the new text menu.
Let us know if we can help further,

Transfer footage iMovie 08 to iMovie 06 HD & change outline color for text

I have a completed video that is basically all stills. I would like to transfer the stills in their current sequence and if possible with their current crop styles ie Ken Burns without having to start ALL over. Is this possible? Just downloaded 06 HD because I wanted more editing options that iMovie 08 seems to be lacking.
Also, how do you change the outline color for text in titles? At one point it switched from black to white but I have no idea how it happened... now its back to black.
Lastly, are we only allowed to place music exactly at the head of a clip or is there a setting I am unable to find that unlocks that "snap to" function?
Thank you.

Background color for column heading

Hi,
I have 5 columns in my report and I would like to have different background color for column headings. How can I do this in report templates?
I was looking at Column heading section-
<th class="t10ReportHeader"#ALIGNMENT# id="#COLUMN_HEADER_NAME#">#COLUMN_HEADER#</th>
How can I specify backgrund colors for all columns here?
Thanks in advance

G'day Karen,
Thanks for ur reply.
I have seen this note before, its not that the header colors have changed after latest SP was applied in our systems. Also the ABAP and JAVA stacks are in sync.
Scenario is that we are trying to set up a new Portal theme for Enterprise Reporting with some specific color codes (hex codes).
What i have observed is Characterstics Header background color is set up using the element "Background Color of Level 1 Column Heading ".
While the Background color for Key Figures header is using element "Background Color of Level 2 Column Heading ".
But the problem is element "Background Color of Level 2 Column Heading " is also used as the Background color for Standard Characterstics cell, so if we make it same the whole report of the same color, which we dont want.
Requirement is to get the same Background color for Header cells (both Char. and Key Figure headers).
Any further suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks
CK

Color for a Field in alv output

Hi All,
I use a field in the ALV grid output which needs to display color (red or green) depending on certain validations. Please tell me how to display color for this field. The program uses oops.
Thanks.

Hi
1. add one more field to ur final internal table say COLOR(4)
2. in layout wa_layout-style_fname = 'COLOR'. " if its grid
wa_layout-style_fieldname = 'COLOR'. "if its list
3. read table itab index 3.
itab-color = 'C410'.
modify itab index 3
4. see program SHOWCOLO for all color codes
1. Add a field of data type CHAR(3) to the internal output table.
2. Enter the color code in the appropriate field of the row to be colored in the internal
output table:
Code: 'Cxy'
C = Color (all codes begin with 'C')
x = color number ('1' - '9')
y = highlight ('0' = off, '1' = on)
3. Assign the internal output table color code field name to the IS_LAYOUT importing
structure IS_LAYOUT-INFO_FIELDNAME field and pass this structure in the ALV call
interface.
To enable row coloring, you should add an additional field to your list data table. It should be of character type and length at least 4. This field will contain the color code for the row. So, lets modify declaration of our list data table gt_list.
you should fill the color code to this field. Its format will be the same as explained before at section C.6.3. But how will ALV Grid know that you have loaded the color data for the row to this field. So, you make it know this by passing the name of the field containing color codes to the field INFO_FNAME of the layout structure.
e.g.
ps_layout-info_fname = <field_name_containing_color_codes>. e.g. ROWCOLOR
You can fill that field anytime during execution. But, of course, due to the flow logic of screens, it will be reflected to your list display as soon as an ALV refresh occurs.
You can color an entire row as described in the next section. However, this method is less time consuming.
Coloring Individual Cells
This is the last point about coloring procedures for the ALV Grid. The procedure is similar to coloring an entire row. However, since an individual cell can be addressed with two parameters we will need something more. What is meant by more is a table type structure to be included into the structure of the list data table. It seems strange, because including it will make our list data structure deep. But anyhow ALV Grid control handles this.
The structure that should be included must be of type LVC_T_SCOL. If you want to color the entire row, this inner table should contain only one row with field fname is set to space, some color value at field col, 0 or 1 at fields int (intensified) and inv (inverse).
If you want to color individual cells, then for each cell column, append a line to this inner table which also contains the column name at field fname. It is obvious that you can color an entire column by filling this inner table with a row for that column for each row in the list data table.

Problem in Setting Background Color for JButton

Hi,
I am using Background color for JButton (color is selected from the customized JColorChooser created by us) where it contains the option of transparency. If we choose light color, then the background is set to JButton, but when we mouse-over the JButton, other components inside the container (JPanel) is getting displayed inside the button.
Can anyone help to sort out this problem.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Here is the code.
DialogWrapper is JDialog and ColorEditorPane is JPanel.
DialogWrapper dlg = new DialogWrapper();
ColorEditorPane colorPanel = new ColorEditorPane();
colorPanel.setValue( _data.getTransparentColor());
dlg.showWrappedDialog( colorPanel, "color_help", "color_dialog" );
if( dlg.isOK())
Color chosenColor = (Color) colorPanel.getValue().getContent();
_data.setTransparentColor( chosenColor );
_transparentColorDisplay.setBackground( chosenColor );
_transparentColorDisplay.setOpaque( true );
this.repaint();
this.doLayout();
this.validate();
}I've several components like JCheckBox, JRadioButton, JTextField in "this".

How can i set the alternating colors for a table rows

Dear All,
Please any one help me how can i set the Alternating colors for Table Rows.
i created a theam there i set the background alternating color to brown and i set the table design properity to alternating. but it is not reflecting.

Hi,
The design property in Table properties should work for your requirement. Select "alternating" value for design.
Please see the API below:
design
Determines the appearance of the table. The property design can take the following values and is represented by enumeration type WDTableDesign.
alternating - The table rows are displayed alternately in a different color.
standard - The table background has one color. The individual table rows are displayed with grid net lines.
transparent - The table background is transparent. The individual table rows are displayed without grid net lines.
Check whether you have changed the right property or not? Also table should contain more than one rows to test this scenario.
Regards,
Jaya.

How can I get Colorful Tabs to use separate colors for 2 different gmail accounts?

Running Firefox 29.0.1 on iMac OSX 10.9.3. I have multiple Google accounts: 2 gmail accounts and 1 Google Calendar. The Add-on Colorful Tabs will allow me to choose a color for one gmail account , but it also uses that same color for the other gmail account. How can I get different colors on 2 different gmail accounts?
Also, Colorful Tabs is also doing the same thing for my homepage (google.com) and my google calendar. How can I get different colors on these 2?

I personally use "Fabtabs" for my mozilla FireFox.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/fabtabs/
This add-on doesn't have any issues like that when I use it.
