Why does my font color change when I add an image to InDesign?

Hello, I am doing a page layout in InDesign and I am using a light blue font for my title but when I add an image from Photoshop, the font color turns dark blue. When I open the InDesign file in Adobe Acrobat, my title is still dark blue. It's only when I make a PDF of the file in Acrobat and open it in the Safari browser that the title goes back to its original light blue font. Is there something I can do to fix this? Thank you!

Not a good idea. The flattened PSD has lost all its layers, adjustments, and effects. I hope you don’t need to edit it or change any layer’s visibility. Either that or you now have two files to keep track of and have neutered InDesign’s Edit Original feature. Better to take Peter’s advice and place the text above the image so it is not affected by transparency flattening. If you need the text below because you want the drop shadow to interact with the text, then use Overprint Preview (View menu) or Separations Preview (Window > Output) to get a more accurate view of the text colour.

Why does my font/text change when I switch from Classic 3D to Ray traced 3D in After Effects?

My font/text changes when I switch from Classic 3D to Ray traced 3D. Why is it doing this? Also, I cant get the font/txt to look the same after I switch from Classic to Ray traced. How can I get it to look the same?

I am pretty new to After Effects so I hope it's not my inexperience that's causing the problem. (It probably is)
I just updated to the most current version of AE.
I am on a mac pro late 2013 12GB 6 core. Running OSX 10.9.4
Okay so after looking at it a little closer, I think the color is what mostly changes. The first screenshot is the what the text look like with Classic 3D and the second screenshot is what it looks like after I change it to Ray traced 3D. Also under the "Mode" section..the pull down that says "Normal" disappears. I'm wondering why the font color is changing?

Why does JButton background color change when clicking ?

Hello,
I have defined :
JButton mybutton = new JButton(Icon xxx) ;
with no associated text and I set both foreground and background colors to black, and an empty border.
This is because the background color of the container which contents this button is also black and I want to see only the button icon.
When I click on the icon , the button background color becomes grey. How can I change this to make it remains black ?
Thanks a lot.
Gege

Well, the color changes because that is how the look and feel is defined,
presumably to give better feedback to the user that she has clicked the
button.
If you don't want this, you could try using a different L&F which doesn't do this.
Alternatively, If you've only got the one button, you could just do
    UIManager.put( "Button.select", Color.BLACK );If you have multiple buttons, and you want the other buttons to behave
normally, you can extend the one button and have it change the color
while it is pressed, e.g.,
import java.awt.*;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.URL;
import javax.swing.*;
public class ButtonSelect extends JFrame {
     public ButtonSelect() throws IOException {
          super();
          setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
          JPanel panel = new JPanel();
          panel.add( new JButton( "Normal" ) );
          Image img = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage( new URL("http://www.google.com/intl/en/images/logo.gif" ) );
          ImageIcon ii = new ImageIcon( img );
          JButton b = new JButton( ii ) {
               static final private String KEY = "Button.select";
               public void paint( Graphics g ) {
                    Color save = null;
                    if ( getModel().isArmed() && getModel().isPressed() ) {
                         save = UIManager.getColor( KEY );
                         UIManager.put( KEY, Color.WHITE );
                    super.paint( g );
                    if ( save != null )
                         UIManager.put( KEY, save );
          b.setForeground( Color.WHITE );
          b.setBackground( Color.WHITE );
          b.setFocusPainted( false );
          panel.add( b );
          getContentPane().add( panel );
          pack();
          setVisible( true );
     public static void main( String[] a ) throws IOException {
          new ButtonSelect();
}

Why does the Font color change on my front panel?

I'm using the Font Dialogue to change the color of highlighted text on my front panel. After I save and reopen my app some of the Text will revert back to their original color (Black). Is this a bug in or am I missing something?

I assume that you want all control labels with white text. If I change the black ones to white and save the VI, the white text color is retained.

Why does my Background image color changes when I place an image ?

Hi everyone,
I'd like to make a presentation in InDesign. I put a background image into a different layer which I called "Background" and then I create a new layer which I called "Images" and place an image with a transparency layer. When I place this image onto the Images layer color of the image in the Background layer changes. I can not figure out why It changes its color. I'd be grateful to anyone who can help me resolve this problem ?
Regards
Cem

Edit > Transparency Blend Space... and set it to match the color mode of the background image.

Why does the font size change unexpectedly when I use the touchpad with my new HP laptop with Windows 8?

Frequently the font size will change when the touchpad is touched. This is annoying! Is there a setting adjustment I can make to keep this from happening?

This is very experimental, but since no one else has replied...
I'm not sure which computers are affected, but Firefox has some support for touchpad "gestures" on multi-touch touchpads. Most of the ones that affect the zoom level of the page are the "pinching" gestures, like a smartphone screen. However, it seems that by default a "tap" will reset the zoom level, and that might be the problem here.
Could you try this?
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''gest''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click '''browser.gesture.tap''' and change it to... I'm not sure whether there is a command for "do nothing" but you could try typing or pasting in '''cmd_selectNone''' which cancels the current text selection in the page (if any).

Why does the frame color change to black when I copy and paste between documents?

Copying and pasting between documents in Indesign. The color of the text stays the same but the lines and frames change from a specified color to black. Also changes when I drag and drop can anyone tell me how to fix this?

You have not provided any exact information like what version of ID, system info, paragraph styles, color definitions and whatnot, so we can't know what is going on. either way, ask in the ID forum and provide all those important details.

Why does my block diagram change when I copy my code to another system?

I am doing development work on a laptop on Win XP and using LabVIEW 2009 with service pack 1. When I copy the code to the target system, my block diagrams are changed and no longer fit the screen. Much of the code is spread out, mainly down. The target system is running Windows 7 and also has LabVIEW 2009, SP 1.
I notice that any constants that are clusters are expanded when copying the code to the other system. I've gone in and turned off the autosizing for these clusters but they are still expanded. I like to shrink them to a small size for saving space.
I've gone through and manually re-adjusted the block diagram on the target system, but when I copy it back to my development laptop, the same thing happens again. This is not an acceptable way to develop code and it has caused a real problem to proceed. I'm contracting this work and must develop this code offsite. Can anyone please help me with this? I can't keep restructuring my block diagrams every time I copy the code from one system to the other.

Windows XP used Tahoma size 8 as its basic system font. When MS came up with Vista, they changed it to Segoe size 9. I'm not sure what Win 7 is, but I think it is the same as Vista. That font change, and certainly font size change seems to be the underlying cause for block diagrams changing their appearance. (And for front panel controls and labels as well.)
LV seems to use the Windows system font as its default font. Interestingly, it seems like the font sizes in LV are something like size 12, 13, 14, 15. I think a size 9 is equivalent to a size 15, but I'm not sure about the comparisons. (Check out this thread.)
There are a few things you can do to try to make one system look more like the other.
1. Go into the Windows screen settings. In Vista, right click desktop, Personalize. Window color and appearance. Open classic appearance properties. Try changing the color scheme from Windows Aero, to something like Windows Classic or Windows standard. They both use Tahoma 8.
2. Or same as Step 1, but go further into Advanced button. Pick on any option that uses font such as Menu, Message Box, Active or Inactive Title Bar and change the font there. I'm not sure which of the items that has a font setting is the key one.
3. LV uses 3 fonts called Application, System, and Dialog. I think each of those map to one of those Windows options, but I'm not sure which goes to which.
4. In LV, Tools/Options/Environment has a subsection called Fonts. Those 3 basic LV fonts are selectable there. There is also a checkbox for me which is checked and says to use default. If you uncheck that checkbox, a Font Style button becomes enabled. You go in there and you can choose fonts and sizes. And the Application, System, and Dialog fonts as well as all the usual fonts names (Arial, MS Sans Serif, Greek, ....) are selectable along with fonts sizes. Play around in there. The whole section is very confusing, and I have no idea how it works. I recommend going to this idea A better way to specify (default) fonts and putting in a vote. Also this idea, Fix font behavior between windows versions, platforms & executables, deserves some love.
5. Some of these settings can also show up in your LabVIEW.ini file.
FPFont = "0" 15
BDFont = "0" 13 (I think the "0" means app font, "1" means system font, and "2" means dialog font)
Also,
appFont="Tahoma" 13
systemFont="Tahoma" 13
dialogFont="Tahoma" 13
(And if necessary, put these in your built application's .ini file)
As you can see, there are a lot of different things going on and they also seem to conflict with each other. I starting stumbling on the block diagram issue between working on my app on XP at work and on my Vista machine at home about 6 months ago. I think my problem actually started with the front panel when I was trying to align labels, and use some arrow head decals on boolean buttons. I think I did the customization of buttons in a couple different ways (because I did some, came back later to do others, and couldn't remember exactly how I did it.) As a result some decals looked different than others when I changed machines. And I swear going from XP to Vista, or Vista to XP the problem got both worse ways rather than let's say larger one way, and smaller the other way.
Replying to your message is about as much to me trying to combine all the pieces of knowledge I've stumbled across over the past months and year as it is for trying to help you. Hopefully, this information gives you some places you can look at and play with. (I bet #1, would be a quick, easy way to solve your immediate problem, but I haven't really tried it myself to be sure.)
I hope someone from NI who has a better understanding than me about these font issues could jump in and correct any mistakes I made, or add anything I might have left out. What we really need is some sort of "nugget" or National Instruments white paper that really explains all of this in ways we can use rather than us stumbling around in the dark doing things trial and error to figure it out. Generally, any changes to the .ini files require you to shutdown LV and restart it to take effect which can take a couple minutes. And considering all the various combinations of things that can be done above, your talking about dozens of possible restarts, and sending .vi's between two different PC's with two different operating systems, before figuring these things out.

Font color changes when I export to pdf

I'm using Pages 08 still, and I'm creating newsletters, should be simple enough. But when I export to pdf, there are portions of the text that change color. For example, I have white text and a brown background, and for some reason the text changes to black. The Pages document still shows it as white, it only happens with the exported pdf document. I triend deleting the brown background layer, re-exported, but the font color still changes. Thoughts?

You have not said what version of Pages '08 you are using nor what version of OSX.
For problems like these usually simply updating both Pages '08 and the version of OSX to the latest versions, fixes the problem. That does not mean upgrading to Pages '09 or OSX 10.8.2, just the latest of those you have installed.
Failing that you need to look at what color model your text is. Stick to the cmyk that OSX's pdfs use and avoid rgb which is screen color.

Why does the stage layout change when native menu added

I have a program that was fine till I added a native menu to it. After adding the menu I have a space on both the left and the right of the stage. If I draw a shape at x=0, y=0 it appears about 40 pixels to the right of the window border. If I remove the menu the space still occurs what is going on?

Adding the menu shrinks the effective size of the stage. This happens because in the app descriptor, you set the outer size of the window, not the stage size. When you add a menu, the space for the menu is created by removing space from the stage, not by increasing the height of the window.
You see the bars around the app because you have the stage scalemode set to something other than noScale.(noScale is NOT the default.) The other scale modes attempt to keep most or all of the app in view when the app is not the same size as the stage (which happens when you add a menu to a window). The space around the edge is the result of the runtime scaling your content into the available space When you remove the menu, this space should be returned to the stage -- and does in my tests, so I can't explain why you don't see the scaling go away. Perhaps you are drawing your content based on the reduced stage size so you still have extra space after the menu is removed.
The stage align property determines how the content is positioned on the stage when it is scaled down. The default is center which distributes space to either side when the stage is scaled horizontally, which is why the origin effectively moves away from the left side of the window. If you used the an AlignMode of top left, the origin would stay in the top left corner.
In general, I recommend setting the stage scaleMode to noScale in an application, unless you have a specific need for one of the other scale modes. Even then, you can still scale things programmtically using logic appropriate to the situation. The other modes were designed for use in a browser where the SWF author may not have control of the stage and so must choose the least-bad compromise. In an AIR app, you have control and so don't need to make that compromise.

Font color changes when exporting to quicktime

Hi,
I'm creating some animated text via LiveType; importing into FCE; and then exporting either as mpeg-4 (for youtube) or directly as a quicktime movie (to see supposedly the best video).
The font colors look the same between LiveType and FCE; however, when I export to quicktime (as a quicktime movie) or to mpeg-4 (h.264 encoder), the font colors look washed out. Both the .mov and .mp4 look about the same. So, I went back to LiveType and cranked up the intensity of these colors (looking pretty saturated in LiveType and FCE). When I repeat the export, the colors are still washed out compared to what I see in FCE and LiveType; but they are now probably acceptable in quicktime and web viewing.
Is anything thing I can do to make the font colors more consistent between FCE and an exported quicktime or mpeg-4 file? Can anyone suggest another converter that might be better at preserving font color? I've tried plain mpeg-4; h.264; etc.
tia.

Thanks for the reply. It was created using Apple Pages. I tried exporting to PDF in two different ways, both with the same result.
1. Within Apple Pages, one can click File > Export > PDF
2. The other option is to click Print > PDF > Save as PDF
I also tried this second method with Microsoft Word, and again the color was altered. Any suggestions that you can provide to resolve this issue will be very helpful.

Why does the PDFs' name change when i view them in the iBooks app?

i have some past papers and marking schemes in my iTunes library....when i sync them to my iPad, they appear just fine....they are there just the way i named them and all...
but when i open them, the name changes to some coded-ish name with lots of numbers and all that....
is it possible for me to change some setting and save the name i want for those PDFs? Or am I going to have to live with this madness?
please help!

Hello, I wanted to follow up on this issue after reviewing some of the changes with the current update. [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1049521] This bug addressed some Windows HKEYs that are changed when Firefox is updated/or installed.
As an update, a patch has been made and changes are on the way for fresh installs of Firefox :-)

Why does my page loose formating when i add a text link on an image box?

I wanted to make my own nav with texts links. but i wanted to put the nav on an image like a black box. when i add the text and then link them to pages they started to work when i previewed them in iweb. But when i uploaded it to my ftp it messed up the formating on my page! So I tried to add a new text box without a link on the same image... now it doesn't even show up. What is the general rule of text on images? all i want to do is make a text nav on the image. Also i have made sure the image is sent back and the text to front.

I don't know if you've fixed them since michaelfromrochester's suggestion but all of the links are white with green rollover for me now.
If you haven't fixed them the clear your browser's cache (Command+Option+E for Safari) and reload the site.

Why Does my CMYK breakdown change when i PDF?

Good day Guys

how are you inspecting the PDF? The values change depending on the output intent.

Why does the background color change?

Hello world...
I have a problem: when I load an external .swf into my current stage, its background color becomes like the one of current stage. Why?
Please, help me.
Emiliano.

It's because there actually is no background inside Flass. That colored area (stage) you place your items on is just there to help you see them.
For your problem, just place a colored rectangle on the bottom most layer and you'll be good.
