View 1 RepliesI recently had to reformat my hard drive and when I reinstalled Photoshop CS, I found that when I put text into a graphic, I can no longer pick the color from any color on the Photoshop interface nor can I put the color number in. There is only a box where I can guess on the color approximately.
I have looked and looked for whatever I did to get access to the Pantone colors. This is a for instance: I am making a graphic for a web page. I have a photo or something in the photo that has the color I want to use in the text. I put the text on the graphic click on the text color box to change the color and find I have no ink dropper to get the color. Nor is there anywhere to put the color number in as there was before. I have not had to reformat my hard drive before and so it has been a long time since I set my software up. I am getting panicky because I have work that really needs everything to work correctly. I also can't access the Pantone color palettes. I want that all accessible from the fill option. In other words select all, then click fill then allow me to click on color and put the color number in manually as well.
I can't remember what I did but the HSV/RGB scales won't display in other color selector modes. How can I put it back?

b) it would be good if the default font color changes to a color that contrasts with the background when starting to type. E.g. we had a rather white scene, started typing and no text ever showed up. I then had to go back to the full text editor, change the color etc.
c) moving the color sliders in the color selector manually without a Wacom seems to slow by default. It takes forever to move to a brighter color. And using the picker is cumbersome (we do that as a work-around instead of moving the slider). The OK button for the color sliders is not very visible, sometimes leading to us clicking away without saving the newly selected color by accident.
I tried ALL colors there are on the generic color selector INCLUDING white!! but ALL brushes are painting BLACK and ONLY BLACK! what is wrong???

It's been ruled out that its not a bump map that's causing so its definitely the normal map.
The company I work for hired someone to take "professional" photos and the thumbnail preview is the normal color but when you view the actual image the colors are completely wrong. The background is supposed to be white.

I have a question on color numbers
My i1/X-Rite shows a table, after profiling, of the color numbers set in RGB, the color numbers expected in LAB, and the color numbers measured after profile/cal, again in LAB. One of the numbers with the greatest difference between Expected and Measured out is pure Red, set as 255,0,0 in RGB. The measured error value is, in percentage, 1.14%. Now here's where it get curious.
When I open PS and set a Color fill for 255.0.0 RGB, the resulting LAB is nowhere's near the one's indicated in the table as “Expected” as below:
X-Rite Table
RGB= 255,0,0
LAB Expected:
L 56
A 80
B 66
Photoshop Fill
RGB set to 255,0,0
LAB Numbers
L 61
A 127
105.
If I set the Expected LAB values, in Photoshop, of course, RGB is not 255,0,0 and to see what the differences are, I did both sets of LAB values, set one image as a layer over the other and went to Difference. The result was a muddy green, like old pea soup.
In case you are wondering why I am doing this, it's because on a particular image with ample dry grass in the image, the difference between the print and the screen is noticeable, if on the subtle side, so I make a correction using Selective Color, Picking the middle gray and moving the Cyan slider -3, which then produced a print extremely close to the screen; -2 would be better.
It would be nice if all I had to do is to save this Selective Color setting and use it when I print on my basic paper. It may also simply mean I should profile the printer as well, and I will do so. But it nags me to see what X-Rite calls pure Red and Photoshop shows as pure Red, both set at 255,0,0!
The problem I have is I cannot change the brush to pure black; it's only dark gray and normal methods of changing the color aren't working.I went to Brushes, selected one of the Artistic_Ink brushes. (And drew a design)
I tried double clicking on it in the Brushes palette and in the "Art Brush Options" the colorization was already set to Tints. I tried all the other options but the color of the artistic brush is still dark gray; not black.
What else can I do to change the brush to pure black?
Began using ColorMunki Display calibrator with my Apple 30" Cinema Display a few months ago. Going back into an old web project to make new graphics, I notice that the eyedropper samples known colors slightly differently. Mostly indistinguishable differences, but different is different. I am accustomed to getting a dead match, so this is worrisome.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm using CS2 on Mac OSX 10.4. Recently I tried importing a Photoshop image into Illustrator and then matching a color in Illustrator to a color in the Photoshop document. But Illustrator changed the CMYK values of the color in the Photoshop document even though I have "Preserve CMYK colors" checked in the color setup window. Both applications and files are set to SWOP v2.
I don't have the same problem when placing either Photoshop or Illustrator files into InDesign.
I ended up recreating the project in InDesign to get consistent color, but I need to know how to make Illustrator preserve color numbers for the project that will come up for which I need Illustrator features.
I have subroutine that retrieves a list of detail numbers in a drawing. Sometimes there are missing numbers. I am looking to find a list of any missing numbers.
Example -
(setq List_DN (list 1 2 3 5 6 7 10 11 12 17))
Missing numbers are - 4,8,9,13,14,15,16
I would like a subroutine to take the List_DN are return the following missing numbers as text
(Get_Missing List_DN)
return
4,8-9,13-16
I am trying to link my parts list to a drawing however all balloons have different numbers.
I open the assembly and check everything out from vault I open my bom and change item numbers. When I get back to my drawing and apply for auto balloon I get completely different item numbers in my balloons. We just updated our software to a new 2012 version so it's maybe something with set up.
Is there a way to sync callout numbers to correspond with note numbers. When I add or delete notes in my drawings it takes to much time to update the callout number in the drawings. I need to figure out a way for the note and corresponding callout to change at the same time.

How you can remove numbers and add new ones over it and add numbers with the same digital code used on the old ones to put those in empty notes
AutoCAD - Why does the Normal plot style plot in color? Black seems to make a lot more sense. Almost everyone in Architecture uses black prints most frequently so that should be the default. And you can't adjust Normal to all black. So what was AutoDesk's reasoning?

Is it possible to change a setting or preference in Lightroom so that the white balance selector tool will give a 0-255 value reading, instead of a 0-99 value? Having that option would allow users to better correlate their readings with what will show up once the images is analyzed with Photoshop's eyedropper tools and info window.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI recently have developed a problem using Photo Paint. I have already tried to use F8 and restored factory settings, and I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program. I do not have this problem when logged in as the guest user on my computer, just under my normal profile. I want to correct the settings under my normal profile.
When editing the tool tip does not line up with the selector or cross hairs. For example if I have the paint tool selected and try to paint it actually begins painting about two inches from where I want to begin painting. See picture below: The small clear circle represents where I want to begin, but the red dot is where it paints.
I am using LR 4.4 on an iMac. Why the White Balance Selector tool would disappear when moved across an image?
it seems to change to a vertical line with an arror top and bottom.
The areas of the image on which it disappears seem to be consistent, in other words, it disappears on the same portion of the image eveytime.
UPDATE: Since posting the above a few minutes ago I've noticed that my cursor is behaving eractically. For example, on a different image to the one used above, in the library module using the Loupe the cursor changes from a magnifying glass to an arrow pointing to the right. It does this on the same part of the image every time.
In Xara Designer Pro 7, when I have selector tool active and want to drag over a number of elements to select them the selector tool will change the size of the canvas (page). Is that not a bug? I used this way of selecting elements often, and it is not good for me with this new behaviour.
Is it a bug or is it a new setting which I then need to change?
I started with a plane and then was connecting vertices to expand the plane. All the new vertices show more than one normal comming off it. I have checked and their is only 1 vertex at each of the points that are sprouting like 3 normal lines per vertex now.Unify normals removed them but still wondering.

View 2 Replies View RelatedEver since I installed CS4 Suite with Photoshop Extended, my Photoshop would crash as soon as I open a file. This would not happen if I am logged on as administrator on my Windows XP, but any other type of profile has the problem.
I tried: reinstallation, clearing the Photoshop preference file, testing whether some startup service is causing it, and created new user profiles, but neither helped.
Since, I did not have this problem with the CS3 suite, I assume that CS4 tries to do something that only administrators are allowed, but what?
