View 2 RepliesCS4.Windows XP When I put text into my image (name and copyright) the character window (tool bar) does not let me select a color. For exampled I will type my name and year on my picture.
 Then I select the text, open character tool, select color and then I change the color of my text to something in my picture. For some reason this quit working on my XP system (but works on my Vista system - laptop). Is there a simple fix for this ?
I'm sort of new to illustrator. The first problem: [IMG] [URL] ....[/IMG]
The red arrows indicate where I attempted to sample from.
I first tried to sample while in normal mode (the window on the left) but my color picker (on the left) did not change, it instead remained light beige rather than the darker fill's tone I was sampling. Same issue on the right, wherein I did the same thing except in isolation mode instead of normal mode.
I used the sample color tool from live paint (live paint + ctrl + left click on the desired area). However, the normal eyedroper tool (I) produces the same result (i.e. it does not work either). The color I am attempting to sample is a fill within a shape that is cropped by the 'draw inside' function. Why Illustrator is not allowing me to sample the fill color.
Additional question: is there any way to make a shape without lines? Choosing transparent lines achieves an visually identical effect but I was curious as to whether this was possible without choosing transparent lines.
All files that have "almost" a white background in coreldraw are not identified by contacogge of corel. The minimum percentage of magenta or yellow 1% 2% is M = 0 y = 0 while the same file in photoshop it appears correctly. la'llegato explains well what I mean.When i print image i see red in background and this is a great problem.

Anyway I got almost everything back to normal execpt...
while using the brush tool and I alt click to cahnge the color to the new sampled color but it now goes to the background color instead of foreground color. It also goes to background color when I use the regular peye dropper.
how to shut that off or change it so it goes to the foreground instead of background.
When you're editing a gradient within the shape (as opposed to in the Gradients palette), is there any way to use the eye dropper tool to sample an existing color? In-shape gradient editing (or whatever Adobe calls it) is useless without the eye dropper.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI've just installed Corel Draw X3 and I'm trying to run a plug-in to control my plotter. The plug-in is not in corel draw where it should be. I think the plug-in is supposed to run through visual basic. If I mouse down to visual basic in corel draw I get an error message that says "Microsoft Visual Basic errors occurred during load. So I'm thinking the problem is with the visual basic program, but it was installed in the corel draw disc. I'm running Windows 7 if that makes any difference.

I have X5 running on an LED monitor with pretty good colors, outputting to an old Epson Photo Stylus 2200 inkjet printer. All I really need (right now) is to print out renderings of signs for customers' approval. I've made up a simple grid of Cyan-Magenta-Yellow (first row) and Red-Green-Blue (second row) using pure values from the color mixer:
Colors look decent enough on the RGB monitor, and the top row prints fine (printer is CMYK, after all). Red and Green on the second row are a little pale, but acceptable. It's the Blue that's the problem: I've divided the box to show the screen blue (upper left) and print blue (lower right); the latter is dark purple. Is this a gamut problem? Hard to believe the printer can't get any closer than that.
It's been too long since I created one of these for Toolbars. I need a macro that will insert and explode a block. I just need the block's content, not the block itself. I can create a maco to explode a block with no path, but can't remember how to include the "*" in a file with a folder path to explode the block while its being inserted. Because of spaces in the file name, quotes (") must be around the path.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI can't see how to set my basic default settings that I have always used for:- artistc text: color, size, etc.- paragraph text: line spacing, etc.- graphic: color, outline, etc.

How is it done in X6?
What I am trying to do is check if a shape does not match a known set of values. If it does not it will run code where the "If msgbox" is at. What I have works if my line or object has a Cyan outline. The issue I am having is when it is checking a line that is any other color that doesn't have Cyan = 100, it errors out.
Below is what I am trying to use.
Sub Start() Dim s As Shape Dim sr As ShapeRange ' ActivePage.Shapes.All.CreateSelection Set sr = ActiveSelectionRange For Each s In sr If s.Type = cdrTextShape Then GoTo s_A If s.Outline.Color.CMYKCyan = 100 Then GoTo s_A If MsgBox("dude", vbOKCancel) = vbCancel Then GoTo s_B s_A: Next ss_B:End Sub
I'm sure there are many of you out there that at least every once in a while struggle to match a certain color - as CLOSE as possible. You can tweak your RIP settings, color management settings, etc but often I find myself just generating some random color samples to get the closest color. I have CMYK charts printed off, but they are only going to show so many colors, you know? What I am looking for (and will pay good money for, too - Nazdar's Catzper software does something along these lines, but is much too complex with Lab values, etc and lists for $295) is a macro that will take a color swatch and generate a bunch of other color swatches (maybe by user preference?) just adding and subtracting C M Y K - you print this off and pick the closest color! Thereby making it a 1-step operation instead of back-and-forth many-step operation. I have to admit, we are very picky about matching colors here.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI'd like to change a layer's color from command line because of a user icon. I figured out from previous topics that I should use macro similar to this: ^C^C_filedia;0;-la;s;Verdeckt (ISO);c;1;l;dashed;;_filedia;1;re;
(I want to use this macro to change layer's linetype, too, but that's not the point)
The only problem with this macro: layer's name contains a space therefore Autocad tries to recognize Verdeckt as a command (and macro interrupts there) instead of setting Verdeckt (ISO) as the current layer. I've tried using different quote marks, none of them worked (' and " and <>). I hope there's a method for entering a parameter that contains space.

CorelDraw X5 v. 15.2.0.686 Hot Fix 4 - Windows 7-64
I saw a macro that does this a while ago, but I could very well be wrong. If it doesn't already exist, I am not even sure if it is possible, so I thought I'd ask the Macro Masters here!
Lets say I have a page fill of objects/shapes/text with all sorts of different colors.
I select the black color (or whatever color) but would actually like to select ALL colors other than the black color that I have selected.
So, if I have a page with Black, Red, Green & Blue shapes, I select an object colored black, the macro would then select ALL objects/text on the page that are NOT black.

I have attached a free macro to change the text color of cells in a table. Without the macro there is currently no way to select more than one cell and change the text color.
The macro allows the user to either:
click on a table (to select it) and then apply a new color to ALL text in the table; or choose a new color from the macro from, select some cells in a table and then apply that color to the text in those selected cells
Please note in step 2 it is important you choose the new color first and then select the table cells. If you do it the opposite way around, while choosing a colour you will deselect the selected cells and apply color to all of the text in the table.

I think I need to change the cdrTextPropertyFill using cdrTextPropertySet. If you look at the Property Manager Window with Artistic Text selected go to the 5th tab (format). On the bottom is background color: with two drp downs. One for textbox background and one for character background.

My CorelMacros.CreateColorSwatch macro has stopped dumping the swatches into whatever blank Letter-sized document I have open (which is how it used to work) and instead it is creating a new document, at 4.25" wide x 7" high, and dumping the swatches into that. Using Pantone Solid Coated, but it's doing this regardless of what palette I choose.
There is no option in the Macro's dialog box to alter or even instantiate a page size, and I cannot find in the code of the macro where to set this variable.
I'm about 3 months and many hours of tutorials into Premiere ProCC, Audition CC, and Encore CS6. Apparently the nifty dynamic links from PPro and Audition CS6 no longer work with encore, as encore was not upgraded to CC. So,
I want to sample color from an original Photoshop image, and create an Encore menu color set, so that my menu buttons, etc. are colored to match the main photo image in the menu. Is there an eyedropper kind of tool in Encore that would let me sample the color from the image, and then apply that to color swatches in the Encore button layers?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have the same x5 loaded on 2 different systems. The problem I ran into is the visual difference of the color palettes. One is very much brighter to the eye than the other system. I am using the same rgb color palette or spot color palette on each system. The same shared file is not even close to the same color shade on the two systems. Also, I have eliminated the possibility of a monitor situation. I have used the same monitor on both systems with the same result.

I am bringing into an old photo which is in fact a scan of a printed photo, an item selected from a recently taken photo and I need it to look as if it belongs to the old photo.
The immediate difference is in the texture, best shown with a photo here. try viewing it also by moving head laft and right ! I can even see a regular pattern of something within the cruder pixels. I could take days to try out various filters, it may be it requires a combination of filters and given the variables involved the chances of hitting upon the right settings and the right filters is remote and it would take days. Is there a way of sampling the recipient photo and then applying the effect it sees to the cleaner looking modern photo ?
I come across this situation all the time when one photo, even a modern digicamera one, taken by someone else, differs from another photo, unless the 'textures' can be made to match, the added in pics stick out like a sore thumb ! A photo with jpg artefacts receiving a cleaner photo is one common occurrence, try geting the cleaner one to look very jpegged, not easy.
I am using PSC6 and the clone tool stamp will not paint from the sample area. After holding down the alt key to obtain sample it will not paint.
