White/black to another color

hello, why can i change white or black(meaning completely white/black) to colors(i.e. red)?
i tried the color mode using a brush but it doesnt work at all. using ps cs4
help please

White and Black are not colors
so none of the color tools will work.  You can use hue/saturation and the
colorize box to get some color first.

  • FCPX: When applying the keyer to green screen, is there a way to change the resulting color from black to another color (cream, blue, etc)?

    Currently working on a project where I shot various video tributes in front of a green screen.  When using the keyer in FCPX, the resulting image is represented by a black background instead of a green one.  I'd like to change that color to blue, tan or something else so that when I apply a picture in a portion of the background, the remaining background looks fine.  More specifically, I plan to put images over the right shoulder of each person in the video.  The image will only take up about 1/4 of the background and the rest of it currently just looks like a black screen.   Thanks in advance for any advice.

    Tom now I have another follow-up.  So i have the original green screen with the keyer applied which, emptied the background.  Now I've applied a color generator below that in the timeline and it generates a color.  How do I now go back and add the photo in the upper right corner of the clip?  Ultimatly the goal is to have the subject, with the color backdrop and a photo above their right shoulder.

  • How to change Bright White areas to a color?

    In Elements 6, every time we try to change bright white areas to another color, it doesn't work.
    No matter what color is picked, the result is always an area of dark, charcoal gray.
    Evidently, the program does not recognize Bright White as a color.
    Is there a way to make these changes using this program?
    Thanks.

    Well, ... it was worth trying.
    Evidently, we can't get there from here.
    After sharpening and adjusting the shadow & highlight levels on the the color image, we opened the Hue / Saturation box.
    All the levels were zero, and the preview box was checked.
    Moving the cursor over the three eyedropper icons produced a circle icon with a diagonal slash in it.
    Moving the cursor over the image produced the eyedropper icon.
    There were no controls on the color band at the bottom.
    Clicking the mouse with the icon on the image did nothing.
    When the "colorize" box was checked, in addition to "preview" the image changed a lot.
    The sliders showed 180 on hue, 25 saturation, and zero on lightness.
    Moving the sliders altered the image, but did nothing to the White.
    The eyedropper icons were still blocked, and clicking the eyedropper on the image didn't seem to have any effect.
    Ever the word "colorize" is missing from the glossary!
    ( This is not putting color into a B & W image. )
    There are no instructions we could find in the "help" section that even mention that box.
    Some of the instructions concerning retouching might apply, and be useful, but that's not "colorize".
    Any idea what's happening here?
    Thanks for your time & attention.

  • Broadcast legal?? whites, blacks, etc.

    Hi All,
    Just read a Phil Hodges article on creating great titles for FCP and am wondering if and/or how much applies to Motion 2?
    Link to article: http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/perfect_titlesphil.html
    Do we still need to have the same concerns about legal whites, blacks, avoiding saturated colors, etc.? You would think a dedicated program like Motion might compensate for this?
    Also, I keep reading things like Phil's final tip about adding a subtle gaussian blur to increase legibility - should this be a concern with Motion as well?
    Cheers,
    ~Chris

    Legal levels still apply in Motion. It doesn't limit you there. If you're concerned you can use the Broadcast Legal filter, but it is GPU intensive. Just follow the guidelines and you won't need it...
    But don't worry about adding a slight gaussian blur - Motion anti-aliases everything.

    What program are you using - Photoshop Elements or Premiere Elements, what version, and on what computer operating system is it running?
    If you are using Photoshop Elements and not Premiere Elements, you have posted in the wrong forum. In that case, you want to post in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum. Somehow your thread got posted in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum (video editing).
    Photoshop Elements
    If your program is Premiere Elements, I will give you a how to for what you want to do using Premiere Elements for your video project.

  • HP 8500 All-in-one printer - how can I print in black and white only (to save color ink)?

    I want to be able to select the option of printing in black and white only to save color ink.  How can I do that?

    What operating system? You can generally find an option for "Print in grayscale" and "Black ink only" in the Color or Advanced tab of the Printer Settings.
    Some color ink will still be used to keep the printheads from clogging, see here for information.  (The Officejet 8500 is an IIC printer in the vocabulary of that page.)

  • Mask gradiant black and white no matter what color is chosen

    My mask gradiant is black and white not matter what color I choose. How do I fix that?

    You may wonder about that from now on until:
    1.  When someone expresses difficulty understanding you, describe just what you mean, using different terms.
    2.  Use whole paragraphs.  Maybe even more than one.  This isn't instant messaging.
    Your phrase "mask gradiant" (assuming one reads through the misspelling) could mean many things.  You haven't provided enough context to know what you really mean.
    If I put a gradient into a mask it may be because I want the image on a layer to fade away, revealing what's underneath.  The gradient can only be grayscale (black, gray, or white) - it cannot be colored.
    I can't imagine why you would want to color a mask.  It makes no sense.  What are you really trying to accomplish?  Did someone tell you that you could do this?
    Perhaps you're using the terms "mask" or "gradient" incorrectly, or for something that is really called something else.
    Help us help you out here.

  • My black and white pictures show up colored

  • Making pictures that are black and white but still have color someplace(s)

    Is there a way in aperture to make pictures black and white but still leave color on some objects. for example, having a picture of someone holding a glass of red wine and having everything except the wine black and white?

    A couple of ways this can be done
    - non destructively:
    Use the Color adjustment to reduce the saturation of all the colors you dont want,
    and leave only the saturation of the saturation of the color you do want.
    Use the Ranges to more selectively choose the right color you want to leave.
    - destructively:
    Use the Dodge&Burn plug-in from Apple.
    Set the brush to Desaturate, choose its strength and size appropriately.
    Then just desaturate all the area's that need to be desaturated.

    With some printers it is possible. Try going to the printer properties and selecting Grayscale pprinting.

  • Footer text-alignment in fluid grid layout and another color in white space, not the body

    I'm working in a fluit grid layout. Everythings works almost perfekt. Accept for de alignment in Opera mini. Mini works not with %. So it must be padding, line-height and something else. But then the footer does not stick.
    In Opera mini
    If i want the footer to stick to for example the bottom. I'm may not use padding in de footer.
    De <p> i used for alignment in from the text. Now my footer must have a alignment in the middle of the footer (center). With padding in footer, it wil work, but then my footer will not stick to the bottom anymore.
    and i have also another question, about the white spaces in de fluid grid. I don't want to give the header, body, footer another color. But that outside of my website.
    With a normal website you give the html and the body grey and the content white. But if i do this with the fluid grid. The content because grey. Is there also a code for.
    This is what it must be. It is a example, not for real. But i really want to know the code for it.

    I found the wright code for the footer. Thanks a lot. I'm happy.
    I'm also searching for a code for max-height. For example one page i have less text, so the page is not filled to the bottom. I want for designing reasons this. So the page is always fitt from header to footer.
    It must not scrolled. Just complete for the desktop-computer and laptop. Is there a code for. Because there is already internet-tv and that are big-screens. It must be for all the browser also ie7, ie 6, opera, safari, chrome and more.
