Selective color, selective colour

Hi all,
I have had a root around and can find nothing on Selective Colouring in Final Cut Pro X. Partly because it's hard to isolate search terms in order not to get advice on FCP Studio. Is there somewhere someone can direct me to, to get selecting? i.e isolating a red coat as in schindler's list. I can't even find a marquee/wand tool or anything like that (photoshop person, you see!).
Thanks

Here's the relevant info from the manual on chroma keying (which is what you want to do):
http://help.apple.com/finalcutpro/mac/10.0/#ver40b003bc
However, you might end up needing to do the keying in Motion, depending on how complex the color selection becomes. The tools in FCP X are geared more to green-screens.

Selection color

For a B&W photo, can the selecting color be changed to say red?

OK. That’s pretty obscure. Are you talking about converting a colour image to B&W? If so, you can use Select > Color Range to select the reds in the image, but I suspect that is not exactly what you are trying to achieve. If you provide more information, we’ll do our best to help.

The colour picker is selecting the background colour instead of the foreground colour.

You know how when you're painting, you can hold ALT and it will pick a colour from the canvas? Well, for some reason, mine still picks up the colour but it sets it to the background colour instead of the foreground colour. And when I actually select the colour picker tool, it will only select the background colour but when I hold Alt, it selects the foreground colour. Basically it's flipped where it's supposed to select. Do you know how to flip it back? It's driving me mad. Thanks.

In the Color Palette (Window>Color) click on the foreground swatch. A "focus ring" will appear around it.

Setting JToggleButton's select color a real pain - any suggestions?

Hi,
I'm starting to get a bit frustrated trying to set the select color of a JToggleButton. I feel like I've wasted hours on something that should be a one liner, so I figured it's time to ask for help (again).
I'm trying to create a very simple panel of about five toggle buttons, in a ButtonGroup, with a grid layout (1 column, 5 rows). Basically I want to create a little navigation panel that resembles the left side of the preferences dialogs in Firefox / Thunderbird (if you've seen it). However, I'm having trouble setting the select color of the toggle buttons. I know it's possible to set the color using the UIManager / UIDefaults (I don't use orange, it's just an example)...
UIManager.put("ToggleButton.select", Color.ORANGE);... but I don't want to change the select color for every toggle button in my application.
I've also seen posts that recommend extending the ButtonUI of the look and feel that is being used. I don't think this is a good solution because I don't intend to extend the ButtonUI of every look and feel I want (or may want) to use.
Although I try to be picky about using quality code that is reusable, I'm at the point where I'm pretty much willing to use anything that will work, no matter how ugly. If you want to share in my frustration, try the following:
Create a tiny app with two JToggleButtons. Label one of them "Go" and the other "Stop". Add the Go and Stop buttons to a button group so that only one may be selected at a time. Make it so when the Go button is pushed it toggles on and is green. Make it so when the Stop button is pushed it toggles on and is red.
In fact, here's a quick hack of my tiny application. Just modify it to set the select color of stop to red and the select color of go to green.
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class StopAndGo
     public StopAndGo()
          JFrame mainFrame = new JFrame("Stop And Go");
          JPanel contentPanel = new JPanel(new FlowLayout());
          JToggleButton stopButton = new JToggleButton("Stop");
          JToggleButton goButton = new JToggleButton("Go");
          ButtonGroup group = new ButtonGroup();
          group.add(stopButton);
          group.add(goButton);
          contentPanel.add(stopButton);
          contentPanel.add(goButton);
          mainFrame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
          mainFrame.add(contentPanel);
          mainFrame.pack();
          mainFrame.setVisible(true);
     public static void main(String[] args)
          SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable()
               public void run()
                    new StopAndGo();
}As far as I'm concerned setting the select colors shouldn't be more than two 'setSelectColor(Color.SOMETHING)' lines. After all, one of the first things anyone will tell you about a toggle button is that it changes colors when it's pushed on.
BTW, I'm using Java 1.5 on Linux.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Ryan

This is a problem with the way the look and feels work and the simplest solution is to bypass it altogether.
The code below takes each button and uses some GIFs to define what the icons are for the buttons. One is for the normal Icon for the button and the other is for when the button is selected.
You can create your own GIFs with the colours you want. So a Red Stop button selected icon and a green go button selected icon. Two not selected icons are need to show the button when it is not pressed.
Using the border just stops the normal button being drawn. Just the icon is seen.
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class StopAndGo
     public StopAndGo()
          JToggleButton stopButton = new JToggleButton("");
          JToggleButton goButton = new JToggleButton("");
          JFrame mainFrame = new JFrame("Stop And Go");
          JPanel contentPanel = new JPanel(new FlowLayout());
          ButtonGroup group = new ButtonGroup();
    stopButton.setSelectedIcon(new ImageIcon("whiteCross.gif"));
    stopButton.setIcon(new ImageIcon("blackCross.gif"));
    stopButton.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEtchedBorder());
     goButton.setSelectedIcon(new ImageIcon("whiteCircle.gif"));
    goButton.setIcon(new ImageIcon("blackCircle.gif"));
    goButton.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEtchedBorder());
          group.add(stopButton);
          group.add(goButton);
          contentPanel.add(stopButton);
          contentPanel.add(goButton);
          mainFrame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
          mainFrame.add(contentPanel);
          mainFrame.pack();
          mainFrame.setVisible(true);
     public static void main(String[] args)
          SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable()
               public void run()
                    new StopAndGo();
}

How to find if all items in a list containing the selected color

Hi
I'm using the code below to check what color the user has selected. This is only working when my item got one color. Now I would like to change my code so each item can have one or more colors (seperated by semicolon). I guess
I have to use string.IndexOf but I don't know how to use it in the .Where scentence below to return all the items that got the selected color.
Thanks, Sigurd F
var sampleDataGroups = await SampleDataSource.GetGroupsAsync();
sampleDataGroups = sampleDataGroups.Where<SampleDataGroup>(Item => Item.Color == KeywordColorList.SelectedValue.ToString()).ToList();

If the Color property of the SampleDataGroup class contains a string with different colours separated by a semicolon you could use the following code to determine whether the KeywordColorList.SelectedValue property is amont these colours:
var sampleDataGroups = await SampleDataSource.GetGroupsAsync();
sampleDataGroups = sampleDataGroups.Where<SampleDataGroup>(Item => Item.Color.Split(';').Contains(KeywordColorList.SelectedValue.ToString())).ToList();
Compilable sample code:
var sampleDataGroups = new List<SampleDataGroup>
new SampleDataGroup { Color = "blue"},
new SampleDataGroup { Color = "blue;red;green"},
new SampleDataGroup { Color = "red;green"},
string selectedValue = "blue";
sampleDataGroups = sampleDataGroups.Where<SampleDataGroup>(Item => Item.Color.Split(';').Contains(selectedValue)).ToList();

Selective Color?

I am very new to Lightroom 3 and want to know how to add a bit of color to a black/white photo (that is originally color)?
Thanks in advance!

At the bottom of the adjustment brush panel is a button/swatch called "color" or "colour". Click that to select a colour. You might have better luck using the "Color" adjustment brush.
Just start experimenting. It is impossible to break anything. Use a virtual copy if you want to preserve a "copy" of the original.

Action written in CS4 won't run correctly in Elements 11 - specif. the "selective color" layer

I created an action using Adobe Photoshop CS4, and it runs correctly in CS4. When I save and load the action into Elements 11, there is a problem with the selective color layer. The selective color layer shows up in the layer stack along with the expected message that it can't be edited b/c it was created in the full version of Photoshop. However, the layer itself does not have any color/changes in it.
In Photoshop, the selective color layer makes the photo look pink. When I run the action in Elements11,the selective color layer does absolutely nothing to the photo. I do have the eye turned "on" to view the layer, and it's set at the correct blending options & opacity (normal, 100%).
If I run the action in Photoshop, save the file with all the action-created layers, and reopen the file in Elements 11, THEN the selective color layer shows its correct pink color. But when I run the action as a stand-alone action in Elements11, it does not.
Can anyone offer help as to why this is happening? Is there something special I need to do to make the action work correctly in Elements 11? My understanding was that it should RUN and create the layers correctly, although some of them will not be editable in Elements11. However, as it stands, it is not creating them with the correct color.
Thanks in advance for your help!

You probaly need to record the action in a little different way in photoshop cs4 to get the selective color adjustment layer to work.
Try something like this:
1. In photoshop cs4 add an selective color adjustment layer, but don't do any adjustments and stop recording the action.
2. Undo the selective color adjustment layer and then double click on on the selective color adjustment layer step in the actions panel
and when the dialog opens set your adjustments and click ok.
Now it should work in pse 11:

Select- Color Range- Results in Blue Screen (PC) (driver out of date)

I've been using the CS6 beta about two days. While experimenting with color range I experienced two consecutive blue screen crashes. The first time it happened,I was working with the color range selector and was replacing the selected areas with another color using the paint bucket. About the third time I attempted this, my PC blue screened. The second time, I opened a photo, went to Select>Color Range and got an immediate blue screen crash.
I then went back to CS5 and I've been playing with the same scenario with no apparent problems.
My PC is a store built computer. It consists of an MSI 990-FXA GD80 motherboard, an AMD Phenom 1100t CPU, Asus GTX550 Ti graphics card and 8 gig of RAM. It boots from a 60 gig SSD and my programs reside on a 500 gig hard drive. The OS is Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. CS6 is using the hard drive for its scratch disk and Photoshop is using 4339 mb of the 7232 mb of available RAM - I haven't changed that. I'm running CS6 as administrator because the way it installed, it would only run in that fashion.
One disappointment during the installation was CS6 made no attempt to read my preferences from the CS5 install. That may be covered in another post, I've not yet looked.
Please keep us informed as new betas are released, because I would like some time to work with this puppy before plunking down big bux for the upgrade. As it is now, I'm going back to CS5. I get mighty nervous when my super computer blue screens!

The GPU is often at root of issues like yours. I've had so many problems with Nvidia drivers for their gaming-oriented adapters (like yours) that I finally went with one of their workstation cards. I have a Quadro card with just enough RAM to make Photoshop happy. The workstation drivers are optimized for reliability, the consumer card drivers are optimized for gaming and that often means they're less stable and reliable with Photoshop.

How can I change the 'selected' color of one JToggleButton only.

Hi,
This seems like a simple / trivial question, but I just can't figure it out. Is there a way that I can create a JToggleButton and change the selected color of only that JToggleButton.
I'm trying to create a simple sidebar like component for navigation within my app. A group of JToggleButton[s] added to a ButtonGroup (with the proper layout / sizing) works great, but the default JToggleButton colors don't suit my needs. I know that I can change the colors using the UIManager / UIDefaults, but I don't want to change the defaults for every JToggleButton in my app. I only want to change the defaults for a few select JToggleButton[s].
For example, I can do this:
UIManager.put("ToggleButton.select", UIManager.getColor("Table.selectionBackground"));
UIManager.put("ToggleButton.background", UIManager.getColor("Table.background"));but I'd rather do something like this:
JToggleButton jtb = new JToggleButton("Toggle Button Text");
jtb.setSelectedColor(UIManager.getColor("Table.selectionBackground"));
jtb.setBackground(UIManager.getColor("Table.background"));The only thing is, I can't find any method that is the equivilant of 'setSelectedColor(Color)' for JToggleButton.
I know I could do it by adding some listeners to the JToggleButton[s], but that seems a little complicated for something like changing a color.
I'd also seen a solution in the forums where someone had extended the ButtonUI of the pluggable look and feel they were using. I'm not interested in modifying the look and feel I'm using. As far as I'm concerned, that would defeat the purpose of having a pluggable look and feel as I would have to duplicate my efforts for every look and feel I want to use.
Any help would be appreciated,
Ryan

Photoshop CS2 crashes when opening selective color

Every time I try to open image/adjust/selective color the program crashes.
It has also started crashing after I save a file.
I have tried uninstalling and re-installing the program, but to no avail.
I'm using a Mac Mini OSX 10.4.1 with 1 GB ram.
I've been running CS2 on this computer for 2 years without a hitch.
Any fix or advice would be appreciated.

I would suggest updating to 10.4.11 as there have be many bug fixes since 10.4.1

How to get "Selected" color for custom toolbar buttons?

RH 8.0.2.208
RoboHelp HTML
WebHelp output
I'm getting flack from internal QA folks about the custom toolbar buttons not having the same "selected" color as the default buttons (Contents, Index). I've copied the background color info from the <btnselected></btnselected> section for the built-in Contents to the <btnselected></btnselected> section for a custom toolbar button, but RH is ignoring it.
Any hints?
Leon

You could try using the raw converter. Open one file and edit it (File>Open, pick the image and choose Camera Raw as the format before you click Open). Then open the next image and click the little four-lined square on the upper right side of the ACR window and choose Previous Conversion from the flyout menu.

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.
