I am trying to to use Colour to Alpha by picking a specific colour from an image. But I can't get the colour picker to work.
The image has an alpha channel.
I choose Colour to Alpha, then click on the From swatch. The Colour to Alpha Colour Picker window appears. I click on the eyedropper. But when I move the eyedropper over the image, the cursor changes to the previous tool that was used. For example, if I used the zoom tool, the eyedropper changes to zoom as the cursor leaves the Colour to Alpha Colour Picker window, and zoom becomes active.
How do I pick a colour from the image?
My colour pciker doesnt show the full range of colours in the side bar anymore like it used to. It only shows a small range unless I click on the edge in the main colour selection window then it shows the next range. How do I reset this back to the default?

The colour field and colour sliders on my main 'puter are "normal" having a full spectrum of colour. But the other one shows only a narrow range of colour. Well, there is the whole gamut of colour but it is shown in a weird way. I've been through the preferences and nothing addresses this issue. The attached jpg has the weird picker on the left.

Is there anyway to expand the range of the tool to a greater pixel range to get the basic idea of what the value of the colour is?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI use the alt button when using the brush in photoshop to quickly switch between the brush and colour picker, and it usually switches the colour i have chosen to the foreground colour so I can use the colour I picked with the brush.
but I think I pressed something or I'm not sure and it stopped doing that and I've restarted my computer and photoshop numerous times and it won't change.
what happens now is when I use the alt while using the brush the colour picker selects the colour but selects the colour for the background colour and leaves the foreground colour unchanged. =(
today I found if I click on the colour picker icon and click on a colour it'll select that colour for the background colour, but if I have the colour picker as my selcted tool and press alt and click it will set it as my foreground colour.
I've just updated my Photoshop (CS6) but now whenever I use it I can’t bring up the colour picker panel. When I try, Nothing happens and everything is else is disabled- I can’t click on tools, or layers, or anything from the dropdown menus. I can't even minimize or quit the program!I’ve restarted photoshop several times, restarted my computer and this still happens every time I click on the colour swatch to bring up the picker.

View 2 Replies View RelatedRecently, I started using Adobe Illustrator and watched many tutorials for the basics of it (coming from Photoshop) but one thing that I'm not too comfortable with is the gradient tool in Illustrator compared to the one in Photoshop.
I keep reading that the only way to adjust the colours is to either use the colours in the swatches or the mini colour slider but is there a way to choose the colours like you can in Photoshop?
I have recently upgarded from the 2.6 version to the 2.8, and I have serious issues with the colour picker. Every time I use the dropper to select the colour I want to use from a picture, it ALWAYS comes out as black, never as the colour I want to use (for touching up, etc).

I have got it down to 7 different colors but i was wanting to know if it is possible to select each color individually. Perhaps in each layer or something
I have this picture with 10 layers... normal, masks etc.. all sort of stuff..now, I want to change the colour of a selection of the picture, but I dont want to flatten it first... how to I do that? I tried a replace colour mask, but that seems to apply to only 1 layer ....

Animation plays as I want, just a lot paler that it should be. I've tried adding a strong colour above all my layers and the same thing happens...
Is there a way to adjust the colour balance on multiple layers at the same time?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using CS6 and the Replace Colour Tool no longer allows me to replace multiple colours when I select the + . So when I have the panel open and I highlight the +, I used to then be able to click on several spots in my image and all of the colours that are in those spots are added to the selected colours that will be changed by using the sliders.
But now, when I use the + it has exactly the same effect as not using it - I can only choose one colour or an other, I can't add.....I want to reset this to the original way that this works.
Currently I have to open the panel, change one variation of a colour, save it, then re-open the panel and do it again (and again and again) until all the colour variations I am trying to remove are are changed. I know I also have the 'fuzziness' slider, but it does not give enough control.
I am designing a T Shirt for my ski club.I have taken an image from a banner (made in illustrator, full colour image attached) and I want to devide into a 3 colour image for the t shirt (I am only allowed 3 colours for printing).The colours I want to use are black, white and purple. The colour of the t shirt is a light blue.I want to then put the purple logo on top of the white and black too.So I'm after a black and white grunge background with a punchy purple logo on the top.All of this should be on a tranparent or, for design purposes, light bue (same as T Shirt colour) background.
how to split a full colour image into using only 3 (4 including transparent/light blue background) exact colours.
If I were going to black and white I might convert to grey scale and then paint areas to fully white or fully black using an overlay brush I don't think this works for me for more than just black and white though.
I have attached two of my attempts where I used the colour range selection and level adjustments. Niether was really successful though (one does not use the right colours or number of colours but looks quite cool).
Illustrator cs6 - I have used image trace to create a 3 colour image of a photograph. Is there a way to create layers based on the three colours? (One layer for each of the three colours)

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been asked to convert an image to 2 colour for printing. I have the image as a full colour CMYK layout (with layers), but the whole thing needs to be converted to 2 colour. I have the pantone reference numbers for the 2 colours it is to be converted to. I am familiar with the hue/saturation tool, but this just seems to convert it to one colour, and you have no fine control over the exact colour you want.

It seems the object only changes colour when I release the slider. But I want to see it dynamically change, so I can find the colour that works best without "hit or miss" - "trial and error" behaviour.
Yes... I'm aware some of you spend hours in colour programs creating a palette to work with. Good for you.
I'm just wanting to do it LIVE. Dynamically. In 2013. In Illustrator.
I'm just started using inventor 2013 (from 2010) & the way colours/materials are applied has completely changed so I'm learning again from scratch.
Here's my issue: A customer has sent a casting to me in Parasolid format. When I open it, all the unmachined surface are blue & look a bit garish. However, the colours of the machined faces are ok & I wish to keep them.
So, I want to chage all the surfaces that are blue - I can use the picker & select all the blue faces seperately (by holding CTRL down & select each face one be one) but this is a pain & takes ages (there are over 200 faces)
I can see & edit the blue color in the manager but how do I tell Inventor to replace all - can it be done?
I use EdHarvey's colour tint tool and it changes colour of the whole image, I'm looking for something similar but it only changes selected colour, so that the image is left with mutiple colour scheme rather than just one, any addon that can do this?
From this example, you can see the figure on the right is in a brownish colour scheme, what tool can I use in order to make it's colour scheme blue like the figure on the left?
[gradient tool] I double-clicked the colour stop , but the colour swatch doesn't come outI hv tried a couple of times in CS 5 and also CS 6.
