After Effects :: Revert Back To Old Color Picking Window?
Nov 5, 2013
I have somehow pressed a wrong button, and have switched my color-picking pallatte to a new one that I don't particulaly care for (see images); is there a way to revert back to the old color picking pallatte?
I've just installed PaintNet.. looks like what I've been wanting to replace MS Paint. I just need to know how to get the Color window back once X'd out. Also Layer and History windows.
I have a client that wishes to have the Revit 2014 file reverted back to 2013. I was told that I could send the 2014 file to Autodesk and they would be able to revert it back to 2013. Is this true?
Wondering if there is a way to revert a powerclip frame back into an object (vector path).
If there is no feature I would like to request that in the next "upgrade" of CorelDraw. As it is now I am forced to use time consuming workarounds to complete my illustrations when they are ready for production.
What was the reason to get rid of the usual powerclipping such as it was in X5?
After hours of work, working on an Aircraft Repaint, I somehow managed to move the template so that all of the lines (in this case the 'livery lines') became out of 'sync' In other words the layers became out of line. Went to load it into my editor and every thing was all over the place
The Q is...is there a quick way to get the template/Canvas or whatever to revert back to it's original state. i.e. everything within there parameters?
How do I revert back to an older autosaved project? I can't launch my current project. I was working away, in a cfx on my timeline, smoke crashed. I tried to log back in and now it just crashed every time.
When I click on a civil 3d object the contextual ribbon will light up (which is fine) but instead of my cross hairs comming back in the drawing window I get the pointer that would be used to select an item in the ribbon (in the drawing area) and I have to click in the drawing area to get my cross hairs back or to grip edit the object or to delete the object.
Is there a option/setting I need to change to be able to get me cross hairs back after selecting a civil 3d object?
Just move to Civil 3d 2012, this worked just fine in '11...
I was working with a document in PS and I must have inadvertantly done something to turn my background sceen to black. How do I return it to the standard white?
Every time I pick a color either via eye dropper or the swatches tab, it sets it to my background color. It use to set it to my foreground color. How do I change this?
i'm making a new color fill layer and want to fill it with the same color like an other (already existing) color fill... how can i simply pick the color from that existing layer? or how can i set the foreground color to the collor of an existing color fill?
My eyedropper started picking the wrong color! I ahve reset and reinstalled PS - and still have this problem. No matter what color I click the eyedropper on, it picks a shade darker than what I want. Like I said, I am running PS CS6 on OS Mountain Lion.
This has happened during a few different projects I've had:
Short Version: I'm just trying to make sure that the colored box prints the exact same color as the PDF's color and it's not.
Long Version: Say I'm given a PDF, it's a poster, and it needs to have bleed (a border around it) added. I'll open Illustrator, put the PDF in there, and use a colored box for the additional bleed/border I'm adding. I'll use the eye dropper, click on part of the PDF - it'll give me the color of that spot. I'll take that color and apply it to the colored box, it changes color.
The issue is that sometimes, that color the eye dropper picks up doesn't actually match the PDF's true color. I can fill in the colored box with whatever color the eye dropper picks up, but it's often a weird color, like with CMYK number values being at 98.35% or something And even when the color value on the PDF and box are the same, you can see a slight difference between that colored box and the real PDF.
I'll even export that to a PDF and make sure it's correct, using the Object Data Tool or whatever it is, and then using the eye dropper there, and seeing that the color for my box and the PDF are at the same CMYK color values. And you can still see it's incorrect very slightly, and then when you print it it's obviously not the same. Even when I try picking it up in HSB or RGB, it's no good.
In our drawing office we use Inventor in a mining materials handling environment. Our output is mainly structural drawings where we require a bill of materials as part of creating a drawing. Whenever I insert a BOM in the drawing environment I get this table which is labeled in a foreign language (it looks like an Eastern European language) and the format is not as per the standard Autodesk installation setup.
How do I either revert back to the standard setup or do a BOM setup from scratch?
I have a weird problem which is either operator error (Most likely) or something wrong with my CS3. I am trying to set my text color to a standard blue (0000FF in paint shop or anything close) When I set it to that it displays the color in the little color box but when I apply it goes back to a purple color? All other colors that I pick seem to stay but not the plain old blue? 8bit 16bit 32bit it doesn't matter nor does changing the mode to RGB or CMYK or whatever! I do notice in the select text color box that next to my color is a warning box that says" Warning : out of gamut for printing" but it say's that on other colors that it will pick and stay fine.
Would it be possible to have an option that allow color picking to pick document's pixel's color, rather than current layer's color with its opacity ?
I really never want to pick a color from a single layer. I always want to pick the color I see, and without its opacity, the one that result from the blend of all layer on the document's pixel on which I pick the color.
There's a rectangle box on a web page I'd like to measure and colour-pick so I can replicate it in either Photo Paint or CD to use on my own web page. If I'm able to do from using CD's tools external to the program, or do I need to download a third party program to do it?
I merged my layers down to scale to proportion and I thought I was done with the project, so I saved it and exported. I then learned that I did something incorrectly, so I went back to the project only to remember I merged the layers and I don't know how to undo that. How do you revert the layers back to layers?
BW Virtual Copies revert to Color when exported and then the BW adjustment disappears when i reopen LR.Has not happened before and i am doing a lot of BW Virtual Copies using the V shortcut, so its incredibly tedious to can back and redo each one.
I recently had to re install my copy of Autocad2008 so it has been stripped back to basics.
Basically what I am after is I want to be able to click on a layer and see what layer it is on. I used to have a window on the title bar which would let me do this and I could then click into that window to change any layers. How to get that layer window back into my title bar?
I am trying to flip between Bylayer and color 150. If cecolor is bylayer set cecolor to 150 and if cecolor is 150 set cecolor to bylayer. It seems so simple but it's not working.
(defun c:22 () (setq cc (getvar "cecolor")) (cond ((= cc "Bylayer") (setvar "cecolor" "150") ) ((/= cc "Bylayer") (setvar "cecolor" "Bylayer") ) ))
I'm having trouble with AE CC playing a RAM preview at a realtime framerate - it's lagging behind at random speeds. This is a short image sequence (of many more to come) My iMac just seems to struggle with this, I can't figure out why. Is this a Graphics card issue?? We have an older mac here which has an older card with more ram (1024 MB) on the card, which takes longer to render the preview (is that due to less system RAM?) But, plays back with a solid 30fps framerate no worries..Is this a problem with the particular Graphics Card on this iMac? There seems to be little info about this card that I can find with After Effects.
Project task:
- I am only previewing a short (15 sec) 1920 X 1080 image sequence (either TIFF or EXR) at 30 FPS. Ram preview going at around 20-28 fps: 'fps: 20.271 / 30.00 NOT realtime' - RAM Preview set to Full Res, 30 fps Frame Rate, Composition settings 30fps, footage 30fps - tried lower quality settings, tried cropping video - same jerky framerate - Even when video is rendered to a .Mov Lossless file the video is still juddery and appears to be dropping frames when played in Quick Time - VLC is better slightly.
System / Memory Preferences:
Ram shared by other apps: 4GB Ram reserved for AE: 28GB..After Effects Multiprocessing: ON Installed CPUs: 4 CPUs reserved for other apps: 2 RAM allocated per bg CPU: 6GB actual CPUs used: 2
Extra notes:
- Have tried with using less memory on the system, no diffeence - not a problem with the RAM in the iMac (which is above the recommended standard, I know, but works fine with everything) - Running After Effects CC - no other programs running - Works fine with other Mac we have - which is OSX Lion & After Effects 5.0 with ATI Radeon 5750 HD 1024MB Graphics Card. - Had the same issues with After Effects 5.5 - Tried with After Effects 5.5 with Apple RAM 12GB no difference on this machine - Monitored System CPU & GPU - no problem running at CPU 25% & GPU 40-50%
When I preview my comp the time indicator goes back to the beginning once it reaches the end, Is there a way so that it stops at the end of the work area or timeline? Its not on loop, its on play once but I don't want it to go back.
I have greenscreen footage, where a green screen was put on a window with tracking markers. A person is moving in front of it, so you can see the reflection. If I just key it and put a garbage mask around it, I can get rid of the green and the tracking markers, but how can i get the reflections back now? Cause if I just screen the original desaturated part back on, you can still see the tracking markers.... Is the only way to first paint over the markers and then screen it back on, or is there another way? I'm on Smoke for mac 2012.

I am currently doing a 3d model using version 2011 , everything is all right but one thing. I need my windows to show reflection of either clouds or trees after rendering , so how do i add such things to my windows and doors.
if you look at the image attached the colours on the right are what the color picker is displaying and if I use that hex code thats the colour the web page displays, but if i fill in any element the colours circled on the left are shown in photoshop.
Why is the color picker window showing a different color to the whats displayed?
