I am trying color a simple black and white picture that my friend drew, and they're faces of people. I want to color it with just some minor shades so that the pictures will not too flat in the end.
The recolor tool does not recolor shades into shades but only shades into a fixed color. Eg if I have a gradient blue to green and recolor the green into red, then it won't be a gradient anymore. Also, using eg. antialiasing for lines you get lighter shades of the chosen color, again maing it problematic to change the line into another color. What to do?
when i try to change color, i cn't change to anything but grey, it was working fine earlier today, but i changed some thigs transparent and this could of caused a bit of a problem?/ can anyone help??
This sounds really ridiculous or it's just me but I've been trying to figure out how to create a .75x8" image with one solid color and the color is fading from left to right. For example, i'm trying to fade red. From lightest of reds to the darkest.
I am confused about when trying to make a photorealistic composite. Say of a man face with real goat horns and reals cars compositited on his face.
I know I use layer masks but to blend the images into his face do I use the eraser tool on the mask or go to the mask layer where its red and use different shades of gray?
While trying to change colors on my color palette, I noticed that all of my colors are showing up as various shades of gray. No matter how many times I choose a different color, it shows up as gray. Sure that works great if I just want to work in black,white and all of the grays in between, but I need a little color in my latest project.
how they made the attached image. I like the way the two shades of green curve down from the top right corners like that. I have created a rounded curve and have messed with the gradient but unfortunatly have had no luck.
We are looking at re-painting our house. I have scanned in some of the colors we are thinking about. I have taken some pics of our house and want to introduce the colors we have choosen. There is shade that also has to be dealt with and hence the same color in shade will have to be accepted as well.What is the best method/tool to use for this task ?
My PhotoShop is turning certain shades of green to black, when I click on the image and move it I can see it perfectly while it move...But, after that goes to black as seen above.
My hard drive died and I purchased a new hard drive. I run Vista Business and have both PS cs3 and PSE. Both programs show my grayscales as shades of purple. It also prints as shades of purple. But I have other photo editing software and it shows grays correctly and prints correctly. Does anyone have any suggestions? It use to work okay before the new hard drive was installed. None of my other software is acting any differently.
I want to eliminate all shades of yellow from a picture. It would be ok if they completely dissapeared or if I would be able to turn all shades of yellow into white or black. Is this possible with Photoshop? If not, do you know if it would be possible with other software?
Example:
There is a sun on a picture- I want the sun to be turned black. I am not talking about using the brush like in "Paint", but I want this to be done automatically.
is it possible to open a photo of a patient with shades palette like on picture 1: and make a color analysis to see which part of a tooth has which color (usually tooth neck is darker, edge is lighter, sides are darker).
I am following a tut and I am stuck at #26 [URL]........
As you may see below the tuts Layers Panel is not all that useful b/c the layers aren't named.
When I copy the "Orange one" (which I have assumed the author means the cones basic shape) and Flip it Vertically the shapes that have been masked (the shapes that make the white stripes) become visible as well as the highlights and shades. Also, the highlights and shades do not flip with the object/cone. So, that can't be the way to accomplish the desired effect (which is to create a reflection on the base of the cone).
I decided to make a New Layer on top of all the other layers and then to use the Pen tool to redraw the cones shape flip it and move it to just above the Base Layer shape but rather than having just the right side of this shape visible the entire shape comes through which looks awful ~ as I assume from the picture that this reflection is suppose to reach over to the white highlight strip that goes from on top of the cone, down the cone and onto the base.
How come sometimes my foreground/background colors turn to shades of gray when I open a new canvas and I can't change them to color? Is this a glitch or a setting?
Also, sometimes after selecting an area with the lasso and going to the move tool I can't pick up the piece. I get a message that says something like the area is empty.
Lastly, how do I create a stroke (i.e. outline) around a shape?
I am trying to fill certain areas using the magic wand and even though the opacity is at 100% it is still only shading it with the chosen color. Is there something that I need to set somewhere in it?
I'm using paint bucket for fill colors and though I see and choose colors from the spectrum all I am getting is shades of gray. What happened to the colors for the foreground and background, why does it only come out shades of gray even though in picker it shows I have picked a color?
I've just created a map with various county boundaries. I now need to fill in the counties with various shades of gray, with no two neighboring counties sharing the same shade. I've been going about it in a sort of trial and error fashion, but I can't ever seem to get it right. Is there a way that Photoshop could possibly fill it in for me? Sort of an auto-swatch application thing?
Now I want to color it in like the original tux, you know? that glassy look.
I want to do it in photoshop, but I cant figure it out how to color it correctly. Also if I export it out of flash as an .png and import it into photoshop the quality is all f*cked up...
When I select a color for text and shapes, the software defaults to shades of gray, although black and white are available. I use the eyedropper to select red on the pallette, for example, and the red box is framed. But the color sample on both the menu bar and the tool bar sets to gray. Is there a swicth somewhere that inhibits red, green, blue, etc.?
I even reinstalled the program, thinking I had a glitch--no change. The color selection had always worked in the past.
I've got a black and white photo and a paragraph of text in a layer over the photo. The text is currently black, but of course when it hits the sections of the photo that are black, you can't see the text. So, I need to get the text to switch to being white at those point. I know I could probably just go in a change it at the proper points, but I don't wanna do that! It's a lot of text and it's a script font so parts of the letter fall at different points in the picture. We thought using the exclusion layer style would work, but it doesn't. Anybody have any suggestions?

used various tehniques for doing her colouring, the main one being builing up colour with the air brush using separate layers for each colour. Using this method, she is doing all her highlights and shading using additional airbrushed layers with lighter of darker shades as necessary. Whilst this produces some great results, things always tend to look a little airbrushed and soft.
how can produce textures such as cloths etc?
I have tried using the texturiser etc but they don't look any good cos the textures are uniform and don't follow the shape of the image.
I open a photo with Photoshop and then added a New Fill Layer. I want to put a colored layer over my picture and then turn the Opicity to about 25% to give the picture a neat colored effect but the solid layer color is always GREY no matter what I do. I can change it over and over and it reverts to gray.
I would greatly appreciate if someone could assist me and tell me how I can change the fill color layer and why it is locked gray.
I want to make it so that the color on the walls also matches the lighting.
I tried duplicating the photo as photo2 , and adjusting the hue/saturation of photo1 to match the wallpaper color, and then erasing the walls on photo2.
