Photoshop :: Color Switch To Black While Selecting Green Color
May 8, 2013
Why when I use green for foreground color and go to Fill and use the option of Foreground color the selection is filled with black? Also why when I open a file with a green square, it also turns to black? And since I am asking questions, how do I get back the ability to get content and search within photoshop, instead of always being directed to Adobe online? I am using CS5.
I scanned a black and white print in color and am trying to replace all the black with dark green. Been trying for hours in elements 9. This is all so hard. Just to ask this question I have typed it into 3 different screens, set screenname, many other hurdles.
I want to switch out that black car with the red color with the same background (doesn't have to be the same red car as below, just a 2012 Red Nissan 370z (with same wheels as below if possible)).
When I open a picture in photoshop, any picture, I see the picture and all around it is a background color. It has nothing to do with the picture or any work being done on the picture. This has to do with the color that comes up on the screen regardless of the picture. It was black and I hit something and it is now blue. I want this to go back to black.
I tryed clicking on the link below, selecting black for a background color and clicking and nothing changes.
My company is switching from ctb files to stb files. With the ctb file, we make concrete hatch with two layers. A top layer with the concrete hatch pattern and a background layer with a solid hatch patern. The ctb file concrete plots the concete hatch black and the solid background hatch light gray. I am using civil 3d 2013 and the hatch allows a seperate background color mask. I am trying to make all my concrete layers (Top of Curb, Curb Flowline, etc.) a certain color scheme, i.e. shades of green. I would like my on screen concrete hatch patern to be a green color with a gray background, but plot the concrete hatch black with a gray background. I can not figure out how to do this without making two layers. Is there a way to use one layer and utilize the background color mask to show on screen green and gray, but plot black and gray?
You know how when you're painting, you can hold ALT and it will pick a colour from the canvas? Well, for some reason, mine still picks up the colour but it sets it to the background colour instead of the foreground colour.
And when I actually select the colour picker tool, it will only select the background colour but when I hold Alt, it selects the foreground colour. Basically it's flipped where it's supposed to select.
I have a color picture which I took, of a red berry bush. I want to remove all the color except for the red from the berries. I know how to lasso the berries, but I can't remove the color from the bush/background and leave the red berries.
Note: I did this once a couple years ago, and can't remember how I did it..I have some memories, but probably remember just enough to make me dangerous. I have done some searches but obviously the results are numeorus and I haven't found what I am looking for yet.
I know the solution involves selecting the berries and then inversing it and then setting all 3 colors to 0 for the background.
What I can do is 1) lasso the berries
2) inverse what I can't figure out 1) it seems like there was 1 step about layering which enabled me to get started, but I don't remember this, it does seem like I am missing something very basic when I try to do this
3) Where is the color scale, the only thing I can find is the grayscale option which switches the entire project to black and white.
I am very new to photography and Lightroom 3.4 64 bit. I have a photo of an apple on the table. I want to get the photo black and white (did that already). Now I want the apple it self to remain its own red color. How do I do that?
Also, I have this apple and its reflection is on the knife that is cutting the apple. How can I get that in color too?
Somehow I've turned off the color selection so that I don't have a color when I select a part of a drawing on a layer. The drawing area stays black whether I have selected it or not and I don't know how to turn back on the color.
how I can turn on the color again so that when I select a line it changes from black to red or magenta or whatever?
How can I change the green color of the background in this image?Also, I would like to soften and spread out the edges a little more of the white light if possible.
How can I change with photoshop the color of below pencil from dark green to light green similar to the one in same photo? URL....Usually I use Tonality/saturation with good effect but with this special green I don't find a good solution.
I have an app on my iPod called "Photoshop Express", and it has the simple option of 'Tint', which will tint the image the color you want (red, green, etc.). How do you do this on normal, desktop Photoshop?
No fancy "how I like it", I want just the image to be tinted red, or green, or blue, and the image have the color info, meaning if I convert it to Black and White, you could tell a difference in lightness and darkness from the original picture (you can tell it was tinted).
I modified the color on a photo and I need to do it again, but I can't figure out what I did the first time. Attached are before and after photos. The before is what I have to work with (a much smaller resolution that what I am really working with, but colors are the same) and the after is the desired result. The leaves with the red arrows pointing to them are much greener in the after than in the before.
I recently installed Photoshop 7 on my PC and when I open the program the default color settings appear all yellow and green toned and not true RGB. I have tried messing with the settings but I cannot seem to solve the problem. It would be easier if I could show the screen shot of what I am talking about.
I work for a large fortune 500 company and the software is installed through a server which allocates the licenses. I dont know if there may be a bug in the program but maybe that has something to do with it.
I have a damask flourish design in JPEG format. I want to change the entire color of the design from green to pink. How can I do that? I have an older version of Photoshop Elements 6.0 on my Windows XP machine, but can upgrade to 11 on my Macbook Pro.
I'm trying to switch over to a gamma/linear color space workflow. 3dsmax and multiple blogs state that displacement, normal bumps, and bump maps should be noted in 3dsmax as gamma 1.0. All other maps (diffuse maps, etc) should be noted as gamma 2.2 (or whatever gamma you created them in) so 3dsmax can properly convert them to gamma 1.0 during its math calculations.
This is all fine. It makes sense that if you make a color bitmap in Photoshop, what you see on screen is being created/tweaked at gamma 2.2 and needs to be converted in 3dsmax (corrected down to gamma 1.0). 3dsmax notes that Mudbox and certain other software produce normal and displacement maps already in gamma 1.0 so these do not need to be corrected. Similarly, black and white bitmaps used for bump and displacement also should be noted as 1.0, not 2.2 (not adjusted down to 1.0).
Questions:
1) If I create a normal bump map in Photoshop (plugin), is that going to be gamma 1.0 or 2.2? 1b) Does it depend on which format I save it in? For example, jpgs default to gamma 2.2 (no gamma listed), while targas can note inside the file which gamma they use. 1c) If, in Photoshop, I simply open a normal map created in Mudbox (made and saved at gamma 1.0 automatically), resize it in Photoshop, and resave it as a jpg, have I inadvertently converted it to a gamma 2.2 image?
2) If I make a grayscale bump/displacement bitmap in Photoshop, it does not need to be adjusted from gamma 2.2 (but is "already" gamma 1.0). Why then would I note that same grayscale bitmap, created in Photoshop, as gamma 2.2 if it's used in any other slot (reflection, roughness, cutout, glossiness, etc)? By using Photoshop, aren't I looking at gamma 2.2 adjusted grayscale values on the screen when I create the grayscale image? 2b) Conversely, are displacement/ normal/ bump maps made in Mudbox only gamma 1.0 if they are saved in a non-jpg format?
This problem happens when I am using a brush and try to select a foreground color by clicking on the "Set Foreground Color" in the toolbox. The "Color Picker" appears, I choose a color, click "OK," and then a never-ending number of Firefox windows begins to open with the Photoshop help page (as if I repeatedly pressed the F1 key extremely quickly). I have to Ctrl-Alt-Del and quit Firefox or the opening of windows won't stop.
This doesn't happen every time I use the color picker to select a foreground color, but whenever it happens, that's what I'm doing.
I'm using Windows XP Pro x64 with 6GB RAM, Photoshop CS4, and a Wacom PTZ-631W tablet.
when you make a localized brush adjustment, selecting tint you could chose the opposite LAB color from the picker.And I explain my self why do I need that.When I try to correct color temperature I can use the temp color but this will affect all the image and some times I need to correct color temperature only from a part of the image. The easiest way from me to do this is to pick the color zone that I want to correct and see what LAB color do I get. For example I could get an orange color like L=89, A = - 6 , B= +72. To correct color the only thing that I have to do, is to tint the desire zone with the oppositeLAB color, in this case L=89 , A = +6 , B = -72 witch is a blue color, and then applyopacity to get the desire look
I am trying to keep the same image, but change the green hues to blue hues. I am fairly positive I can recreate the bottom part of the image (the rectangle with rounded edges aka a button), but I don't know how to add the top parts after that. Ideally I would just like to be able to change the greens to blues.
I am trying to change the green hues to blue hues. I can recreate the rectangle with the rounded corners with a blue gradient, but I don't know how to add the top parts to the image. Ideally I would just like to be able to manipulate the image I have and change the green hues to blue hues.
This photo is framed with a glass facade, which reflects exterior light and obscures a portion of the green matting border. I would like to eliminate the reflections and substitute the green color of the matting.
When I have an color image I sometimes need to select a certain color from all the image. Is there a way with Photoshop CS2 to make this selection so the program figures out which areas have the same color specified and select it also? (did I explained myself?)
In other words if I want to select, say dark red in all the spots with the same color range, can I make the first selection of the color anywhere in the image and then use any selection option so it selects all similar colors?
how to change hair color and select it to modify it. I've tried using magic wand laso tools.. I know that if you make a selection you can modify color in hue/saturation but I can't seem to figure out a easy way to select and work just with the hair and coloring just hair. working mac pscs2.
