Increase a color blend brushes tool.
This brushes can literally "pick up" existing colors and blend, hair by hair. This capability offers truer color interaction,
just like this
Maybe Function is not complex but very useful for paint.

… or even the healing or patching can achieve a similar result to that. Be more specific

  • Keyboard shutcut for choosing background color when brush tool is active?

    Hello,
    I've forgotten the keyboard shortcut for choosing a background color when the brush tool is the active tool . Holding down the alt key with the brush selected chooses the foreground color. What key do you hold down to select the background color?  I'm on a mac. Thanks.

    That's interesting, but is it a lower case L or upper case i?  I certainly can't make it work on a PC.
    A couple of thought for you...  There are no easy to use shortcuts unused in Photoshop nowadays, so I sometimes steal them from little or never used operations.  For instance, how many people use H for panning instead of the Space bar.  I know H has the benefit of locking in panning, but I don't think I have 'ever' had a need for it.  I have, in the past, stolen Y from Blur and Smudge, but I have not done so in recent versions.
    But for quickly and constantly picking background colours, you need a convenient key, and that suggests the Z key to me, as I always zoom with the mouse and Ctrl (or Alt) Space bar.  Just a thought.
    Another option is the Wacom Express keys if you are using a tablet that has them.  The Keystroke option won't accept some combinations, but I think it would be doable
    Shift F4 is for an Action I used to use a few versions back, to place guides at 50% vertical and horizontal.  They are easy to snap drag nowadays.
    One last idea on a similar vein, are programmable keys on custom keyboards.  I don't know if they are available for the Mac, but I use a Logitech G110 which has 12 programmable keys on the left of the usual layout.  These 12 keys can be programed three different ways, and selected by the M keys above.  I originally bought this keyboard for its illuminated keys, but I quickly got used to the extra functionality.  Even the little volume control, in the top right corner, (highlighted in magenta below) is such a convenience. I use these keys for launching Actions,, although I found I had to make both G8 and G12 mirror the Ctrl key as I occasionally hit them by mistake.

  • Coloring with brush tool

    I was watching one video tutorial where this person had first a color picture, and then he changed it to a black and white pic. I'm ok 'til this point. Then he, using a brush tool, selectively brought some colors back. Hard to explain.. I tried to do it but my brush didn't do anything. So in my case,  B&W stayed B&W.
    I tried it with a color picture where was pretty flowers. I wanted everything else B&W but the roses. What am I doing wrong? Do I have some settings wrong or what do you think?
    I have a love and hate relationship with Photoshop and just now it's more hate...
    thanks for help,
    Inge

    Photoshop's just a tool - an insanely complicated tool.  Don't hate it; love it and it will reward you. 
    The tutorial was likely showing off the History Brush tool.  The History Brush allows you to select a step in the History list, then brush the pixels back to the way they were at that step.
    For example:
    1. Open a color image.
    2. Make your History panel visible by choosing Window - History.
    3. Do Image - Adjust - Desaturate.
    4. Your History list will now have two steps in it Open and Desaturate.
    5. Click the little box to the left of the step that says Open.  That will now be the source for the History Brush.
    6.  Select the History Brush from the tools palette and brush over your image.  It will restore the color to the way the image looked before the Desaturate.

  • Sampling colors with brush tool by holding down ALT key doesn't work

    I'm trying to sample a color with the brush tool on an empty layer while painting by holding ALT key on my mac but it doesn't work for me on Photoshop CC. Is there a setting that I'm missing?
    Thanks,

    Select the Eyedropper Tool, check on the options. Is "All Layers" selected?

  • Additive Color Blending effect

    Hey,
    I've been trying to figure out how this color blending effect was created to no avail... Id like to know how the colors become additive and darker as the density of layers increases approaching a near-black color, even when blending only one color (see second image)... any insight would be greatly appreciated!
    -V

    I guess some others don't understand the terminology difference between additive, subtractive, and multiply transparency modes.
    In an additive mode, the color values literally add together.  So if I have 3 layers, one of #FF0000 color, one of #00FF00 color, and one of #0000FF color, and they are all in additive mode on top of eachother, they should turn into white or #FFFFFF.  This is like a RGB spectrum color wheel, and I'm assuming it's the effect you are looking for.     This type of transparency is available commonly in many imaging platforms including Lightwave 3D.
    Multiply transparency does what the name suggests:  multiplies the color values, so this is not at all what you want to do.
    I'm assuming that additive color is what you're looking for.  Unfortunately in Illustrator and PS this is not available.  What is available though is Subtractive color which is the opposite.  So if you want to get the additive effect in AI or PS, you have to put a Black (#000000) underlay under everything, and then set them all to Subtractive color.  This will subtract them all - and then subtract them from black, which will invert the result and turn them into Additive.  Another option is to use Subtractive, and then Invert the result.

  • Increasing saturation/color in one area

    I have a photo , which is a close up, that i would like to increase the color or saturaion in just the blue of her eyes. the rest of the photo is fine the way it is. i would like her blue eyes to really pop off the page so to speak and i am not sure of how to go about doing this. any help would be greatly appreciated.
    thanks
    George

    George,
    1. Zoom way in on the eyes
    2. Use lasso tool to select one eye
    3. Hold down shift key to to select other eye. Don't stray on to the eyelids
    4. Feather selection by 1-2 pixels
    5. Bring up Hue/saturation adjustment layer
    6. Click on colorize
    7. Adjust the sliders to maximize blue effect
    8. Can change opacity of this layer and blending mode.

  • Transparency and color blend space: fail!

    Hi there. I keep trying to export my pdf, to no avail.
    I get an error that pops up that says there is an error with my transparency and color blend space.
    HOWEVER, all my images are set to CMYK (it says so in the links panel) and my transparency blend space is also set to CMYK. I have no errors in my preflight panel. When I ignore the message and continue to export, the image looks completely different and not the way I want it to show up.
    Please let me know how I can fix this error! Thanks so much!

    Document CMYK is the assigned profile in Edit>Assign Profiles.... Working CMYK is Color Settings...>Working Spaces>CMYK. If there's no profile assigned, document and working are the same. So in this case Document CMYK is Coated FOGRA27 and Working CMYK is US Web Coated SWOP—the assigned FOGRA is color managing the document's native CMYK colors not the working US SWOP

  • Replicating Photoshop's Color Blend in Flash

    Hi, I'm trying to repllicate PhotoShop's 'Color' blend in
    Flash. Flash 8 does not offer a 'Color' blend mode. The closest
    that it offers is 'Overlay'.
    Do any Photoshop/Flash users out there have any suggestions?
    Thanks.
    /t

    Whoa, stop right there. This is not nearly as complicated as you think.
    The monitor profile is used by Photoshop to display the image without any intervention from you. You calibrate and forget it, don't touch that profile. You can work in any color space you like.
    The way this works is that Photoshop converts from the document profile to the monitor profile, on the fly, as it displays the image. The calibrator automatically sets the profile as system default for that monitor at OS level, so that Photoshop knows where to look for it.
    When you calibrate, two things happen. The first is that the monitor is calibrated to a basic set of parameters: white point, gamma, luminance, black point. This happens either in the video card or internally in the monitor and affects everything globally.
    Then a monitor profile is created. This is a complete description of the monitor's response, in 3-dimensional color space, in its calibrated state. Some applications will use this profile, but most will just ignore it.
    The reason Photoshop matches other non color managed applications if you use the ColorMunki profile as document profile, is because you then have effectively disabled color management, so everything will behave identically (but not correctly).
    Remember, Photoshop converts from document profile to monitor profile. If they are the same, nothing happens, which is exactly what a non color managed application does: absolutely nothing. It doesn't even matter which profile you use as long as they're the same. The net result is always the same: no color management.

  • Page background color blends

    I'd like to have an overall color blend from a depth of about
    200 pixels down from the page top, to the the bottom of my page.
    What is the most efficient way of doing this from an solid 99CC33
    at the top to no color or (white at the bottom)? The background
    color should extend horizontally across the page as well, but the
    page blend only from top to bottom???
    thanks
    hartney

    Basically make your gradient image in whatever program (5px
    width or so, whatever height), then use this code replacing the
    background colour with whatever you want your 99CC33 to blend in
    to.
    body { background : #FFFFFF
    url(../images/background-image.jpg) repeat-x;}

  • Color blend mode / Color brush mode doesn't work

    Hello,
    I have CS3, working on Windows 7/64.  For some reason, I cannot get color modes to work.  I would like to be able to sample a color from one area, and use a brush set on "color" instead of "normal" to paint.  Instead, all it does is darken and make gray whatever color it is trying to brush over.  If I try to leave the brush on "normal" but the layer blend mode to "color," nothing at all happens.  When I try changing the layer blend mode to anything else, (screen/normal/difference/etc), it works as it is supposed to.  Any ideas how I could fix this?  Thank you so much in advance!!

    Hello!
    I have the same question, and what are the colors you are trying to paint on and with?
    Did you try to reset the brush tool by right-clicking its leftmost icon in the Option bar?

  • Color blender tool and other questions

    Hey. I've got Photoshop CS4, which I've been using pretty successfully for digital and pixel art, but there's still a lot to the program that's unknown to me, and trying to google up an answer isn't getting me anywhere. I've got a few questions.
    Is there some sort of color blender tool in CS4? By color blender, I mean something that will easily let me pick two separate colors and generate a range of colors that are between them. The tool at http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/color-blend/ is an example of a program that does what I'm hoping Photoshop can do.
    Is there a way to simultaneously view my canvas both zoomed in and at it actual size as I draw? This is mainly for pixel art, where the art close-up can look really different from the actual product. A little actual-sized canvas in the corner of my screen that updated as I made changes to the art in zoom in would save me the time I spend fiddling with magnifying glasses.
    Is there was way to keep the smudge tool at full opacity? When using it, smudging edges of color onto a blank space makes them start to get transparent. As of now I just get rid of it by multiplying the layer a few times and then merging, but is there a way to disable that?
    If there are no definite ways to do these things, any suggestions or guides you know of would be useful too. Thanks!

    Hello!
    Select the gradient tool, it is an alternate tool to the paint bucket one (Hit Shift+G until you see it replace the Paint Bucket tool)
    Double-click on the gradient you see in the option bar, you will then get the gradient editor http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshop/cs/using/WSfd1234e1c4b69f30ea53e41001031ab64-77dfa.h tml
    Double-click on the first color stop to get an eyedropper, sample your first color, do the same with the end one, and the second color.
    Once your gradient is created, you'll be able to lay down a gradient, and pick the middle color with the eyedropper tool.

  • The new nvidia drivers, weird color blending

    i tried all the nvidia drivers, but all what comes after the 53.3 have a weird color blending problem, and i can't fix it.
    the problem is visibale if u r looking to an image with gradient color, u'll c it as if it's not correctly blended, and this goes weird when u work with photo editing and retouching an image, u'll think that ur work is bad.
    i got to fix the prob, temporaly , by accessing the advanced tab of timing, if i just edit any number the colors go ok, once i press ok and apply, everything remain as the original, and the problem is here again.
    do u have anysuggestions plz, anyhelp will be much appreciated.

    man, what software are u talking about (did i mentioned any test software?)
    the problem i'm facing is the color blending in all drivers after 53.3 is not showing right, the gradient still showed degrade and not fully blended, as if u turn ur display to 24 bit, instead of 32bit, but actually the result i get is like the image is displayed at 28 bit  
    u can't know what i'm talking about , but if u try it by urself, just open an image in photoshop or any editing application, choose any image that have a gradient shown well, and c it, u'll notice that gradient is not fully smooth, it's kind of steped, and to b sure, fill a scratch background by the linear gradient tool (black, white) and c the disaster, there is no smooth intermediate grey section, u'll c steped.
    i hope it's clear dude.

  • Illustrator Smooth Color Blend Stops Working

    Hi,
    Sometimes for no apparent reason the blend tool decides to just stop blending in smooth color mode. When I click "make blend," there is always 1 step between gradients.
    This happens to other users as well. I tried restarting, resetting blend tool parameters, and nothing works. Smooth color blend is a must. I'm on CS3, but this happens too in CS and CS2.
    Thanks.

    J:
    I have had this problem with CS2 and it is probably a bug. I just go into the blend dialogue after making the blend and reset smooth, or select a large number of specified steps to make it work. Is this dumb or what?

  • Color blend layer appears pale

    I am working with a colleague on some icons and am having an issue with a color blend layer.  I'm using Fireworks CS5 11.0.1.7 and he is on CS4.  The base shape is a shaded cube and we want to overlay a rainbow on the cube.  For him this looks good, but for me the color layer is very pale (using the same PNG). 
    colleague on CS4:
    me on CS5:
    As far as I can tell we are doing the same thing.  Am I missing something?  Did the Blending change between versions?
    Here is the layered PNG file:

    Hi,
    There definitely seems to be a version issue here. I have both CS4 and CS5.1 on the same machine and there is a huge difference in the way the Blend Mode is working. Technically however I'm not sure which version is working correctly.
    I tried the various options and found that taking your grey and white box over the rainbow box layer and giving it a "Color Burn" blend mode looks similar to what you need for the specific situation (maybe brighten the rainbow colors a bit). Both versions Fireworks CS4 and CS5 show the same effect with this blend mode.
    Hope this helps!

    For the sake of clarity and to save people time, Todd is asking about the behaviour of the Patch tool when using it to repair the area next to the young lad's head.  Todd gets a blurred dark tone pretty much regardless of the options he uses.
    IMO that's what I would expect to happen because of the close proximity of the other image elements i.e. the lad's neck and the strong lines of his shirt.  I would not choose to use the Patch tool in this situation.  Content Aware Fill makes a better stab at it.
