Shortcuts for whites, neutrals and blacks in selective color

I’d like to be able to assign Shortcuts to Whites, Neutrals and Blacks in the Selective Color dialog because I find the maintained (since CS4) necessity of manually selecting those a nuisance.
Or am I overlooking an existing opportunity to achieve that?

Photoshop CS5:
Alt+9 gives "Whites" but no sign of "Neutrals" and "Blacks"

  • Setting White, Mid and Black Points in Camera Raw 7

    I am using Camera Raw 7 and can not seem to locate 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!!

    ACR doesn’t work that way.  There is an eyedropper for the overall white-balance that you can set by clicking on a relatively bright, neutral area, but there aren’t black and white-point eyedroppers.  But, what is clipped black or white is determined by the output colorspace you have set at the bottom and you can get some idea of what will be clipped black and white by turning on the clipping indicators and watching for the areas you’d be eye-droppering on (the black and white patches in your grayscale) to start showing the clipping color overlay for black and white, but any further toning adjustments will move data in and out of what is darker than black and lighter than white so what is clipped for output will change as you fiddle with the various toning sliders.
    The reason things are different:  In PS, when you set a black-point and white-point in Levels and click Ok, the data below and above those is thrown away and that is the starting point for the next adjustment.  In ACR, things are non-destructive and all the adjustments occur simultaneously, rather than sequentially as in PS, and no clipping occurs until you create the output file.  This means that the pixels that are darker than your black-point and lighter than your white-point are still there, and can be moved into the black-to-white range if you do further toning adjustments.  Having more headroom of the pixels that are outside the black-to-white range is good because you won’t get the posterization or banding that occurs when colors and levels are clipped after each adjustment in PS.
    Can you describe what you intend your overall workflow to be on an image:  how much adjusting will occur in ACR and how much, if any, might happen in PS, after the image is opened into PS from ACR, or opened from a file saved from ACR?  There might be other ways to approach what you’re trying to accomplish.

  • Setting  a White Point and Black Point

    I would like to suggest for future versions of lIghtroom to have an ability to set the white point and black points similar to levels and curves in Photoshop. This would be in addition to setting middle grey in the white balance settings currently in Lightroom.  I find that the method of using Threshold to find the closest white and black pixels and then using these points to set the black and white points in curves or levels provides a better way to fix a color cast than the methods available in Lightroom.

    MB,
    There is no real need for Black and White point eyedropper type tools in Lightroom.  By holding down the Alt key while changing the Blacks or Exposure sliders the display will show the areas that are being clipped.  This is much faster than looking around for the darkest and lightest areas manually.  If you just like to click to taste (like using the White balance dropper) then forget the Alt key and just move the sliders until you get the desired look.
    Remember that the problem with Photoshop is that there are so many ways to do the same thing that it has become difficult and bloated.  Lightroom strives to keep the interface as clear as possible.

    Try this...
    Restarting your device
    1)   Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    2)   Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Follow these steps to reset your device
    Note: Reset your device only if it is no longer responding and the steps above do not work.
      Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Restart / Reset

  • IPad Air gets suddenly white screen and black apple

    When I am working, my iPad Air gets suddenly (one or two times per week) white screen and black apple screen for a few seconds before I get back the control, anyone has the same problem?

    It could be an OS issue but I would not bet on it. I just had a similar case myself (but white apple on black screen) on two unconnected devices almost simultaneously - both on an iPad and on an iPod touch. It is possible that there is something different going on here, perhaps at Apple's servers.
    It could of course also just be a coincidence.

  • What's the keyboard shortcut for entering time and date?

    Is there a keyboard shortcut for entering time and date?
    Hopefully one which would work in any application.
    Thank you.

    None is built-in. You can use any number of third-party utilities for creating macros. For example:
    1. TypeIt4Me
    2. TextExpander
    3. Typinator
    4. AutoTyper (part of Automaton)
    Any of the above are excellent choices. Demo/Trial downloads are found at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.

  • Macbook pro w/ Mavericks - right command and right option functioning as shortcuts for mission control and show desktop

    Hello,
    All of a sudden my right command and right option keys are functioning as shortcuts for mission control and show desktop respectively. I haven't changed anything and can't seem to find any shortcut option in system preferences to change it. Control + up still works for mission control as default, and F11 is still show desktop. Left command and left option are working as normal.
    Any suggestions? I have a feeling theres some silly little thing I've missed...
    Thanks.

    Hello benja_d
    That is an interesting issue with the keyboard. To help isolate the issue, open up the Keyboard view to see if there are any keys being held down while you are typing to see if that is the issue. You will also will want to try this in another user on your computer to see if it something that is User specific or system wide. Let me know if you have figured out this part and I can help you further.
    One or more keys on the keyboard do not respond

  • Is there a difference between iphone 4 white and black in screen colors???

    As in, how the screen's pixels display colors?  No, there shouldn't be any difference.

  • Shortcut for moving forward and backward through Time Machine

    It seems obvious that there should be keyboard shortcuts for moving backward and forward through time in the Time Machine. Anyone know how?

    it might seem obvious but AFAIK there are no shortcuts for that. use the mouse.
    I can't imagine replacing a simple mouse click with something like
    Cmd-Ctl-Shift-Fn12-page up
    It's noticeable that the menu disappears when entering TM, meaning that the usual assignments of shortcuts in the KB menu have, at least for the present, unknown values, if any at all.
    What kind of shortcut would take me back to December 25, 2007 anyway? The trackpad and trackpad bar work.
    It's possible to open TM with a shortcut or script, but from there one is on the dark side.

  • Set keyboard shortcut for Acrobat DC tools (highlight tool, selection tool)

    It seems that this new version Acrobat DC does not have keyboard shortcut for these tools?

    I can't find anything on creating your own shortcuts. Actually, you may want to go to the online help and download the manual in PDF form.

  • Establishing White Point and Black Point

    Hi,
    How do I Establishing a White Point and a Black Point in Lightroom 1.4.1 and especially in Lightroom 2 Bata?
    Thank You,
    Hersul

    The last post by OP might have closed this thread, but given the relative lack of activity on this and LR2 forums (summertime?) - I'll go a little deeper.
    i White point
    - If your white balance is right from the start, you just use the Exposure slider to set the white point. If not, first set the white balance - that effectively sets a preliminary white point for each channel separately, or, to be more precise, matches the right side of the histogram for each channel - then set the Exposure. So, with the white point you have complete control over the histogram, as well as over each channel.
    i Black point
    - here the situation is different. You can move the left side of the main (composite?) histogram using the Blacks slider, but there's no means for moving channels separately. In theory, with digital capture, there probably should not be need for this, blacks should be always black, so that's OK, but...
    I once had a batch of pics scanned from film. The film was poorly developed so it has some strong brown-magenta cast in the shadows. In Photoshop it was a piece of cake to set the black point by dragging the left ends of each channel to the left edge of the histogram (heck, even Auto Level did a wonderful job). In Lightroom, there's just no way you can correct this, because you can't control the channels separately.

  • Keyboard shortcut for "Ease in" and "Ease out"?

    Just wondering if there's a way to map keys for ease in/ease out instead of right clicking keyframes and navigating there.
    Thanks.
    (Premiere CS3)

    I use Ease-In/Out dissolves hundreds of times per project, week in and week out. I've made a simple preset for it. One for Fading in and one for fading out. Drag and drop anywhere on the clip and it snaps to the start and end of the clip as you need it. It's not a keyboard shortcut which would certainly be nice, but it was easier than manually doing it hundreds of times.
    One thing I don't like is that I sometimes click on the Preset accidentally and then hit a keyboard button and it's suddenly changed the Preset name to the keyboard key that I hit (usually the space bar) because when you click on a preset twice you can change it's name. I know that sounds dumb and petty, but it happens to my assistant editors every so often as well since they too have to use these dissolves a ton. I wish the only way to rename Presets was by right-clicking on it and having a "rename" selection to prevent the issue I described. It's the little things that sometimes make a big difference so I think I'll submit a FR. Followers welcome.

  • Keyboard shortcuts for Macbook pro and wireless keyboards.

    I´ve searched for an answer to this issue because it seems so obvious, but I can´t seem to find anything useful. Perhaps I´m just terrible at searching relevant posts here. I apologize if this has been addressed before.
    I´m taking some tutorials (from Lynda.com and Ripple training, to name a few) and in all of them, even those about very recent software, they keep aluding to ye olde long keyboards of yesteryear, when you had tildes and the plus and minus signs were on it's own keys. But most modern mac keyboards, on laptops such as macbook pro's, as well as desktop computers now, use the short keyboard. So, for example, if in the tutorial they explain how to reduce the size of a brush with a shortcut pressing command and the plus sign, that shortcut can't be used in a macbook pro, because to get the plus sign you also need a modifier, which completely alters the function of the sortcut.
    Now, I guess one could simply edit every command individually, but it seems to me there's gotta be a simpler, easier way to fix this, since old long keyboards have been almost fazed out. It amazes me why don't the programs such as Final Cut, to name an Apple proprietary, just come with a preset for long and short keyboards at this point. But they still don't.
    I hope someone can assist me with this issue, and I´m sorry about the syntax and grammar, english is not my native language.

    Tom,
    No I have not asked on a dedicated forum since this is an issue I've had with several programs (I should start to refer to them as apps), however, it's not a bad idea and I'll skim those forums to see if this issue has been addressed. Also, indeed you are right and I made a mistake in my previous post, the + sign comes up by just pressing that multipurpose key, with shift it will produce the asterisk and with option it will produce the bracket. I got carried away with Melophage's first post where the plus sign is used as an example. I apologize to both for my mistake, and I'll try to be more specific and careful in the future.
    Tom and Melophage,
    My keyboard does have the Spanish-ISO mode of input by default, and I've added the US input also, although I hardly ever use it. And indeed, being able to do something simple like zooming on a document or a web page with command and the plus sign is something I can easily manage. However, the things I usually have a problem with are, for example (and I'll be more specific this time), in photoshop cs6 to reduce or increase the size of a brush, you have to press either the left or right bracket. For me to get the left bracket, I have to press option and a multipurpose key that contains these three signs: ` ^ [. Now, in photoshop, as soon as you press the option key, the brush, or whatever tool you have selected, turns into the eyedropper tool, so pressing option and multipurpose key doesn´t get you a bracket, gets you the eyedropper and ignores any other key you press.
    In final cut there is a similar problem with the bracket to make L cuts with a shortcut that uses the bracket, and both programs also make use of the tilde key, which I don't even have in my keyboard.
    You both made me realize, of course, that the problem lies in my regional configuration of the keyboard, and that software makers probably just avoid the hassle of having to come up with multiple different sets of keyboard shortcuts due to those different layouts. I still think this is something that should be addressed right from the box, but now I realize it might not be such a prevalent issue, specially with people who have the US keyboard layout.
