Illustrator :: Changing Colors For Patterns?
Mar 7, 2008
I was in my Adobe Illustrator class earlier in college and our professor taught us how to change the colors for our patterns under any swatch. For example, the orange polka dot swatch I switched it to hot pink...we did that using the direct selection tool and changing the fill. I did the same thing on a Mac at our school (we have a Mac lab for all the Graphic Communication classes) and it worked fine but when I tried doing the same thing at home with my Windows PC it didn't work. How can I switch and play around with the colors for pattern swatches on a Windows?

I work in Ai to build patterns from multiple shapes and colors. At some point in the process, I use the clipping mask to crop away the parts of the build-out I don't want to see/use. Then I copy that cell/tile I want to use, and build repeated pattersn. When I bring all of these tiles together - even at 6400% - no matter how close I get the tiles to each other's edges - flush or even slightly overlapping - there is almost always a white line demarking the edges. Sometimes 3 of 4 edges appear in a centered-x/y axis, but there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it and I can not reverse engineer the cause.
I have hidden my edges. There is no stroke on a box. Even the clipping path has been checked and does not have stroke. What's going on here? This is a huge stumbling block for my business.

I've been designing weekly large banners in Illustrator for the past month. I am on banner #5 and have had no problems previously. Everytime, I open the previous banner AI file, make the design changes, and save it as the new banner, and then do a Save As to an Illustrator EPS file for easy printing on our large format printer. It has been easy and routine.
This time I went through the same process, but when I save the Illustrator EPS file, the colors are coming out incorrect - particularly darker. My medium dark blues in the design look almost black in th EPS file. I tried printing, thinking maybe it was just how the file was displaying in Preview on my screen, but nope. The colors print incorrectly too.
I was able to solve the problem by switching the color setting to RGB, but I would like to understand what happened and why the change? Everything was working great in CMYK for the past 4 weeks, but it's not working now.

I have about 300+ product labels that are in Illustrator, and some of them have an incorrect rich black color swatch. What I have been doing is going through and changing the color pallette to change them manually. Essentially going to the instance of black and changing them to regular black.
Is there any sort of script that can do this? The files are in CMYK.
Otherwise I have a lot of monotonous file editing to do.

I tried googling tutorials but I can't seem to find any. I found this one: (Which is basically what I'm trying to do)
[URL]....
However, the background color of the pattern does change but the actual lines do not. Is there anyway I can change the color of the lines?

When you change a fabric or a pattern on an object how do you get the pattern to repeat as it would in real life? For example if I change a fabric on a curtain how do I get the pattern to look as it would in real life so it isn't enlarged or distorted?

Using CS6 on a MacBookPro Is there a way to find the closest matching Pantone spot colors to the cmyk colors I've created in Illustrator? I know it's easy in Photoshop using the color picker, but there must be a way to do this in Illustrator.

Windows 7 64-bit / CorelDraw X4 Educational Version with Service Pack 2 installed
I was working on a file last night and had objects Powerclipped into an object. Next thing I know, the colors are all completely off. They just changed on their own. I don't know if I saved the file and it just did this, or if it just did it on its own. But it always seems to be related to the Powerclip. This isn't the first time I've lost information using X4's Powerclip.
The scarier part is that it seems to be affecting multiple documents of mine that have used the same color. We're talking about months of work.
Also, this isn't the first time colors have just changed on me after closing a document and reopening it. I've set colors to RGB black and when I've reopened it at a later time, it changes to R:2 G:2 B:2
Tonight I'm going to try and uninstall X4 and reinstall and see if it remedies the issue. If that doesn't work, I'm going to try a different version, perhaps downloading a trial of X6 and see if it corrects the issue.

I have a picture that I would like to change the color on. Is there a way to sellect all of a given color, say Pantone #150 +-10 points to Pantone 825 +-10 points automatically?
I would like to use the eyedropper tool to pick the color on the picture as the starting color and in the color selection area for the ending color and have Photoshop handle the change for me.
I have used Hue and Saturation as well as Color Balance but the results always look kind of cartoonish.

I have a black and white photo, which I want to change (let us say) to Orange and Blue. What steps do I go through. I know that with an "overlay" I can change the Black part, and I can even invert it. But how do I get BOTH colors to change?

Is there a simple, quick way to change a color? I know about fill but but the color I want to change isn't solid, it has a texture and colr variances in it so it looks like lips.
I'm trying to change the lipstick color in "The Sims 2 Body Shop". All I want to do is to quickly change the color while not changing anything else.

I have a set of buttons that are coloured. I would like to change these buttons to another colour! - The problem is that they are not one single flat colour - but are instead made up of shades i.e where there is shadowing.
Is it possible to just brush over them to, say, change them from green to orange?

Somebody want me to edit their picture where an orange tank top has to be changed for a dark blue color. That person did provide the specific HTML code # for the color wanted. Once the tank top is selected, how do you manage to colorize it to that very specific HTML color. Unless I'm wrong, "colorize" is the only function that add color to something without losing the detail of the original picture. All other thing you can use to change the color only add a solid opaque color. You can desaturate the tank top,open a new layer and add the specific HTML color to that layer and then reduce the opacity but...even thought the details that were lost are now visible, the color has changed.

I have some crosswords that have been exported as CMYK but not just 0 0 0 100, a mixture of colors, something like 2 13 2 100 or whatever. How can I change the black throughout in Photoshop and save?
The printer have of course told me that it needs to be on the one plate.

I make a selection and choose Image > Adjustments > Hue/Saturation and it seems the colors are completely off when I have the colorize option selected Should this checkbox not be selected when changing colors this way? I know that this could also be done with an adjustment layer, I am just curious why the colors seem off.

I've been having trouble with this render I've created, in that I'm trying to change the colors on this character's hand from the orange tint that some of his fingers have due to firearm discharge, to a more neutralized color that matches another part of his hand, particularly his lower pinky finger. The reason why is I've changed the original color of the gun he's holding to something darker, and I want his hands to reflect the change in color as well.
I've tried everything from painting over the fingers, clone stamping, adjusting the curves, the shadows, the tones, the highlights, and even adjusting the hue and saturation, yet I'm still not getting the results I desire.
Attached are pictures illustrating what I mean, with circles around the problem areas, and a PSD of what I've tried to accomplish so far.
[URL]........
And again, to clarify, I want to change the colors of the subjects fingers that have an orange glow to them to a more neutral tone and to have them have the same color as the subject's pinky finger, which is also circled in blue.

I'm manipulating the colors on the soles of these shoes and was able to change the colors on the men and baby shoes, now I'm working on the girls and women shoes. When I got through the process, like I did with the mens shoes I'm not able to change the white (on girls shoes) into any other color.
I have a layer mask on the hue/sat filter I have gone between the black and white to reveal and hide. When I start adjusting the colors the whole image starts to change not my selected area. I have also just selected the mask to effect the selected area and no luck.

I've been having this problem for some time now. I edit my images and save them but the saved copies in their folders are always 1) darker and 2) with less color. However, when I put the images back into photoshop, they look as they did just before I saved them. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this or what might be causing it?
Also, when I do a lot of editing in one go, I get a message that I'm running out of memory on my C drive, even though photoshop is installed on my much larger D drive.
