Selecting Whites, Blacks and Mids A Question

Hello,
I know if you Control Click on the RGB channel in the channels palette that
you basic select all of the whites in the image. Is there any way to do this
for the blacks and mid-tones? If no, does any one know of a way to do this
(plug-in, etc.)?
Thanks,
John

John,
No but you but you can use Select>Color range and then instead of Sampled colors use Midtones or Blacks from the dropdown list.
Not sure if that is what you want because Control clicking the RGB channel is not quite the same as selecting the whites of the image...

    Please clarify your "Elements 12". Is that as in Photoshop Elements 12 (photo editor) or Premiere Elements 12 (video editor). And, on what computer operating system is the program running?
    Your question is pointing to Photoshop Elements 12 and that you have posted in the wrong forum. If this is a Photoshop Elements 12 question as I believe it is, please post your thread in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum using the following link provided for your convenience

    The alternative is to wait for a moderator to see your thread here and move it from here to the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum..
    We will be watching for a confirmation on what program you are using.

  • Text tool is only letting me type in white, black, and grey. How can I have it type in color? [was: Text]

    The text on my photoshop is only letting me type in white, black, and grey. How can I have it type in color? I have tried to change the color but no matter what I do it leaves the text in grey/

    What is the image mode?  Image > Mode - should be set to RGB
    Do you have a B&W adjustment layer above the Type layer?
    If you are not sure, it would help if you upload a screen grab of your entire workspace with the Layers and History panels visible.  Keep it at full resolution please.

  • Best way to select BOTH notes and midi CC?

    Hello everyone,
    I'm trying to figure out the quickest, most efficient way to select and move both notes and MIDI CC's at the same time in the matrix editor w/ hyperview. The only way I've been able to accomplish this is to shift-drag around both parts, but this takes time time as you have to do it TWICE; once for the notes and once for the midi cc's. Unfortunately "select all" or "select within locators" does not select midi cc's.
    What is the best way to deal with midi cc's? I wish there was some way to select and "lock" them to midi notes and when you drag the notes, it drags the midi cc as well, similar to how FCP locks audio and video together. Do other programs allow this functionality?
    Thanks once again for any help/tips you can provide!

    Functions > Include Non-note MIDI Events, but unfortunately there is no key command for it.
    I prefer to have a screenset with an Event List open, so I can Command-~ to the event list, Command-A, and then drag in the Matrix. Or double click the fist note in the Event List and enter a new Bar# for its position. Or Command-C and Command-V, then enter a new number for a copy...
    ...you get the idea.

  • Setting black and white points

    Dear friends,
    I am shooting some pics with a "Whibal like" target card which has a white, black and 18% neutral grey shades.
    In Camera Raw I I can easily correct the white balance with the provided eyedropper on the top row by clicking on the grey target.
    I cannot find any way to set the black and the white points though and have to resort doing that for EACH picture in Photoshop via a levels or a curves adjustment layers.
    It would be great to be able to set those in Bridge/Camera Raw so that I can then copy those settings to other similar shots.
    Any ideas ? Thank you
    Marco

    I am having the same problem, although its now Camera Raw 7 - where can you set the white, mid, and black points in Camera Raw with the eyedropper tool. It seems you have to create a new psd file in Photoshop to do this, which does not make much sense since it is a basic levels adjustment. I am batch editing a bunch of CR2 files, and I just need to select the black, mid and white points on a grayscale that I've shot in the images - is there a way to do this in Camera Raw 7? Thanks!!

  • How to convert only part of a picture to black and white?

    Hello.  I just received PSE 8.  I want to convert a photo of my daughter to b&w but I want to leave her eyes blue.   Anyone know how I can do this?  Thanks so much.

    1. Find the smart brush tool (the brush with the gears on it)
    2. Select a black and white conversion style in the options bar
    3. Turn on Inverse
    4. Drag over the eyes (they will stay blue and the rest of the photo will become b&w). If you turn Inverse off, the eyes will become b&w and the rest of the photo will stay in color

  • PSC 1510 All in one printer - won't print even black and white when colour cartridge not recognised

    My PSC 1510 All in one printer is flashing the "check printer cartrige icon" and both "Black" and "Colour" icons at the bottom left of the printer.
    It won't print at all, even when I select grayscale (black and white). The help pages tell me that if I remove the colour cartridge the printer will switch to backup mode and I'll still be able to print in black and white (though not copy or scan). But this is not the case, and I can find no way of switching manually to backup mode. The help pages have no useful explanation of backup mode. I've also tried cleaning the cartridge (which I'm pretty sure isn't empty) but that makes no difference.
    Can anyone help? I'd be very grateful.

    With only one cartridge light blinking I would suspect the cartridge, they do rarely fail (much more often for reman cartridges, see here).  Clean the cartridge contascts as shown here.  If that fails and the cartridge is an original HP then check the warranty date as shown here.  If the cartridge is in warranty return it to your dealer for a warranty replacement.
    The printer will automatically switch to backup mode if the black (or color in some printers) cartridge is removed.  I do not know if this works with the PSC 1510, some all-in-on devices insist on having both cartridges present.

  • Black and white photos print greenish tint

    MacBook Pro 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7 16GB Retina Display. Epson Stylist Photo R320.
    When I print Black and White photos that were selected as Black and White in Photoshop, they all print the 50% grays with a Greenish tint. it's like it wants to add missing colors. I changes All the inks and it still occurs. "Photoshop manages colors" profile, "sRGB IEC61966-2.1 Normal Printing. Relative Colorimetric. Using Photo paper.
    Can anyone tell me why?

    If Photoshop manages color, you need to pick the correct profile for the printer/paper. The profile will be called something like e.g. <printer name> Epson Premium Glossy, if that's the paper you're using.

  • How to select all black in a photo?

    I have an all black jpeg image, a flourish -  I want to select all of the black, and change it to white instead.  When I try and select it with the selection tool, it takes forever and isn't accurate bc there are so many twirls in it, etc.
    Is there a way to ask photoshop to select all black, and transform it into another color?

    short way: Ctrl+Alt+2 and then Ctrl+Shift+i
    the long way: ctrl+click the RGB channel in the Channels panel and then go to Select->Inverse
    and there are a ton of other ways as well including using the magic wand tool, quick select tool, Select->Color Range(with localized off), etc

  • How to print a selection of pages from a 3000   page PDF without having to scroll two wheels! Also is there a way to set printer options for just black and white? Seems like there is a lot missing here?

    I have been using this for school work as much as possible and have come across a problem. With my lack of knowledge for apple it seems as though I can't navigate myself to a easy answer. The problem hits when I am printing pages off of a large document, and I don't want to print the entire document in color but I have no way "that I can find" for a black and white print option...
    ----- also a larger issue, when printing I need to select 1 page or even 20 pages... The time it takes to use a scroll wheel and the fact if you try and scroll fast sometimes you click off the screen then you have to start scrolling all over again... It seems like you would beagle to input from say page 1224 to 1236.... Instead I have a scroll a wheel? Just doesn't make sense...?
       Can someone please help solve this for me!

    Yes, that fixed it, thanks! I had no idea they clashed like that. I ruthlessly purged all other tables of contents, and then used Layout > Table of Contents to create a new one, and it worked.
    It made more sense after seeing in this thread that table of contents styles are more like presets or entities than styles.

  • Black and white selective coloring with brushes disappeared

    The down and dirty:
    Upgraded to Aperture 3.1.1
    Aperture then updated my library
    I open a file that I have selectively colored with black and white (a track and field runner and her lane is color, the field is black and white) and to my horror the thumbnail and "quick preview" is correctly colored, but the full resolution image is not
    How do I get my hard work back?

    I'd like to add one last bit that seems strange to me (and gives me hope that I can recover my edits). When I switch "quick preview" from on to off and the image zooms to the native resolution my edits are in tact for half a second before going away (the image fully loads - I'm not looking at an expanded rendering of the quick preview).
    Also, when I move the image at full zoom my B&W edits flash briefly until I stop moving the image.
    I tried repair permissions and repair database. Both failed.

    anyone know of a patch or fix.I can only select grayscale or color.I would like to be able to print some photos in black and white.

    Hi,
    In many cases, grayscale means b & w printing.

  • How do I add selective color to black and white photo?

    New to Photoshop Elements 12.  How do I add selective color to a black and white photo?

    The easiest way is to use the Smart Brush tool in Expert tab.
    On the tool's option bar, in the drop-down select "Revers Effects", then select the "Reverse" option. Be sure that "Inverse" is ticked.
    Paint over the object that is to retain color, the rest will become b/w.

  • Can't select colours to colorise a black and white photo.

    Hi,
    I am trying to colorise an old black and white photo, and I am unable to use any colours that are not black, white or grey for some reason. I select light blue to fill the sky, but it wont actually select it and stays grey. How do I fix this?
    Thanks!

    If you look at the document tab, I'll bet it's Grayscale/8.  You would want RGB/8.
    Image menu > mode > RGB
