I'm working on a project where I want to work on the tones and saturation of the black color. I can easily adjust all other colors, but have difficulty getting a blacker black.
Â
In the Hue/Saturation and Levels I can adjust some things, but the black color gets greytoned instead of becoming more black and crispy color.
I thought with normal you would not get any effects, but in fact, if you boost contrast on adjustment layer and keep at normal you get huge saturation boost -- unless you change to luminosity. So normal is not neutral?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'd like to saturate all colors in 132 .xar files.
I had a look at xarlib and I did not try to compile something since I first need to get Visual C++ to use the supplied pre-built libraries, and I thought I better wait and ask, because in the documentation there's written the year 2007, so Xarlib might be out of date and not work with current .xar files.
My questions:
-Is xarlib still up to date? And is there a sample or framework that I could use to manipulate .xar files?
-Is there anything else that I could try?
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.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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?
Â
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.
Â
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?
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)).
View 5 Replies View RelatedI tried to set a color photo over top of a black and white one to airbrush away enough to expose the backround (the grayscale pic) but when I tried to copy onto the first layer, it turned my color photo to grayscale. I tried this with the gray pic locked and unlocked. What did I do wrong, or can this even be done?

View 1 Replies View RelatedThe question that i have is, how do you do the effect, or is it even an affect where the whole pic is black and white but there is 1 color that is not. like from the attached pic you can see that the red is showing. you can see some on my skin and some on that red tape thing in the background.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI just want to CG my drawing, and usually the way I do this is by adding a filter called "Poster edges" to my drawing. I then spend a while cleaning up the drawing and making the poster edges look nice and stylized from there.
The problem is that filters from the filter gallery seem to only change the color to black. I really just want to change everything that gets "Poster edged" to a brownish color. Is there ANY way I can do this? Any way at all?
try and open the hue and saturation, it wont allow me to.
When i import the image, it will show up in color, just how it was, but I cant mess with hue or saturation.
if i select a color to draw with, it will show up a shade of grey, white or black.
I may have accidently clicked something to cause this, but im not sure how to fix it

View 6 Replies View RelatedOK So I’ve been looking and searching around this site to try to get to know it. I found so many things that I'll use!! One thing I found but couldn't get to much detail on is coloring a grayscale image.
How do you get the hair color? Do you really need to Zoom in and just go in to detail? I guess that's what make a great Artist..

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen 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.Â

I tryed clicking on the link below, selecting black for a background color and clicking and nothing changes.Â
I've recently picked up Photoshop CS6 and i'm having a weird problem regarding the color cyan.
Â
Whenever i use this color it appears as black.
Â
How do i get this fixed??? im clueless
Â
EDIT: When i drag the window im working in around the colors appears as normal but as soon as i let the window go, the cyan turns black again.
I've been having this problem ever since I installed Photoshop CS5 (12.0.4) on a Windows 7 64-bit machine. I've used the program on a Windows Vista 64-bit PC in the past with no problems.
Â
Any color that has zero red information will turn black when in RGB mode and in either 8 or 16-bit mode. If I use the paintbrush, for example, a color with RGB 0/100/100 will be black. However, the color 1/100/100 will not. This problem also occurs with imported images. I've only tried JPEG and PNG so far. The problem does not save out though, as any image exported from Photoshop will appear fine. The issue seems to go away when in 32-bit mode, but it's a little RAM-intensive, and the file sizes are quite large.
Â
I have reinstalled Photoshop, reset its preferences, and reinstalled my video card's drivers (I have a Radeon HD 7870). My PC has 8 GB of RAM and plenty of free hard drive space.Below is a screencap of what's going on.
when i paint with the color #00a8ff It will come out has black It looks something like this!Also there's wierd artifacts i see in the color's like this. Look in the really dark blue u can see black pixels.

I am using Photoshop 6.0 and would like to know (in stupid people terms) if there is a way that I can make my photo black and white, but still have one color in it (for example, a black and white face except for green eyes).
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have some color pictures, and I was wondering if it was possible to make most of the picture black and white, while other parts stay in color. I've found some tutorials using the channel mixer, and calculations and stuff like that to make them b&w and I'm comfortable with that. Are there ways I can leave certain parts of pictures (like a sweater, or hair) in color?

2. i am in the army and i want to take a black and white pic of my fiance and myself....and keep the flag the current red white and blue...now, is it more difficult to do since there are 3 colors? or technically 2 because the white is part of the black and white?
