way to sample colors off the web? If I see a site with colors that I like, is there a quick way of finding out the hex numbers? I know the long winded way of save as - then edit in dreamweaver .......

When I select the eydropper and I drag it outside Photoshop to sample a color of an image (in another window) everything seem to "move" in photoshop until I reach that image. When I say move it's the view that's moving not the layers etc.

How to make photoshop "view" stand still while i'm dragging the eyedropper out ?
Working on a Macbook. PS CS5. When I am painting using the brush tool I press the option key to switch to the eyedropper temporarily to sample a color. It samples the color but makes it the background color. I have to go swap colors to paint in the color I sampled.

Â
Is there any way to set sampling techniques for each smart object?(If not, where does one post feature requests? ;D)
Using the "current layer" sampling setting for the eye dropper before I apply any top layer adjustments (adding a top layer with a different blending more or adding an adjustment layer) it works fine. When I use any adjustment layers or any layer that has a blending mode, it affects the way the eyedropper picks color especially when set to current layer.
Â
For instance, If I paint a new blank layer with random colors, I create a black and white adjustment layer on top of that one, I select the first color layer I go to pick a color using the eye dropper with the current layer sampling set, it picks a grey color (which is wrong). BUT!! if I open up the color picker with the color layer selected it picks the correct color. Now, if I delete the black and white adjustment layer, and I am back to only having the color layer, I then go to pick a color with current layer sampling still set, it chooses a grey color again?!?! There are no more layers on top of the original color layer I painted first, and yet it chooses a grey color?

The other day, Photoshops started acting a little funny. Specifically, when using the paint tool, I'll hit option (alt) to sample a color to the foreground but it is sampling to the background instead. I have tried to reset all tools and no dice. How i can reverse this? it is screwing up my whole blending procress.
View 4 Replies View RelatedOne of my computers is having an issue with the clone stamp. When using the clone tool, sampling a location creates a copy of the layer you are working on that moves with the cursor. Restarting PS or rebooting the machine does not work. Its a Mac running os 10.7.5 and CS6.Â
View 2 Replies View RelatedIt seems there is a way to fix the sampling to a fixed position on the alt-click so that the cross does not move even though you are moving the brush.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am used to "Option" clicking on a color, while using the Brush tool, to set the foreground color. In CS6, it is updating the background color instead, even though the "Info" panel clearly says "Click to choose new foreground color" when I hold down the Option key. What setting am I missing?
Â
The foreground color is the active color in the color swatches.Manually selecting the Eyedropper tool and option-clicking, updates the foreground color. Simply clicking, updates the background color.
When I want to use the healing brush in Elements 9, having alt clicked to take a sample to brush over an object I want to remove, the brush samples continuously as I brush despite the Alligned check box being unticked. How can I get the brush to just use the original sample rather than going on sampling?

View 5 Replies View RelatedOne of the new features of Max is the Unified Sampling mode for mental ray. why this has been implemented and what the benefits are of using it are?
The 3ds max help says "Unified Sampling mode is easy to control and renders much more quickly than the multi-pass sampling used in previous versions of 3ds Max" How can i test this against my previous settings. As an example, my final renders are normal 1-64 with 0.05 as the spatial contrast, how would I be able to test against this setting in unified sampling mode?
I use Lightroom to manage a digital archive of historic photos at our county library. The images are scanned as TIFs at 600 ppi at the original size; images <3.5 scanned at higher res. Those are the masters to which I add metadata. These images all have a long dimension of somewhere between 2500 and 3000+ ppi but they are not consistent in size.
Â
Now I want to export a set of JPG files that are the same physical size as the original, but a resolution of 300 ppi.
Â
The way I did it before LR was to run a batch action in PS Image Size where I changed the resolution to 300, checked Resample Image and let it go.
Â
I've tried a lot of different combinations in the LR export panel; changing the quality reduces the file size but it still shows the same number of pixels and the physical dimensions that it will default to is twice the size of the original. So I 'm interpreting that as it compressed the file more, but it didn't actually downsample and throw away pixels.
Â
The only other way I'm seeing to do this is to select images of similar size and then telling it to Resize to Fit with a specific dimension at 300 dpi and "don't enlarge" checked. Or, continue using the Photoshop batch action.
Â
[I also create a 1-inch JPG that we use for online display and an index book so LR will work fine for that. But our patrons often want a jpg copy of particular files and, unless they ask for the higher resolution version, we give them the JPGs at 300 dpi original size.]
I'm trying to make a script to transform shape by a value of below object.

And I'd like to know how to sample color from gradient-mesh or bitmap photo.

 Does illustrator script have eyedropper or color sampling tool?
I have 2 different surfaces (Existing Ground & Proposed Pipe Invert) that I want to have the elevations shown for in a profile data band, but I want them to show at the design profile's PVIs (Proposed Road). Is it possible to set up a data band style that samples at one profile's geometry points but displays the elevations from these points from a different profile? My workaround is to set the data bands to all sample from the design profile first and label over the design profile's data band but I'm hoping for a cleaner solution. Attached is an image showing the profile view in question.

The eyedropper is set to point sample and all layers. This problem does not occur if I open the color dialogue box that is part of the toolbar.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently installed CS5 on my laptop after first removing it from my previous machine.All licences were validated so no problems there.Now when using paint bucket in Photoshop, the colors that I select in the color picker are not the colors that result when I use the paint bucket.
Â
If I create a new black canvas then the colors selected in color picker work with paint bucket.But if I attempt to recolor the background in an existing image that I import into Photoshop, I get the mismatch with colors when I use paint bucket. My method for selecting colors is the same in each case, I select 'set foreground color' and set the color using html values entry at the bottom of the panel.
Just wanted to print a new photo and realized that the colors in print preview do not match the colors in soft proofing. In both cases I selected the same icc profile and rendering method. The print colors matched the colors in print preview. I never had a problem so far. All new prints will be checked with soft proofing and adjusted when necessary. I never paid attention to the color rendition in print preview and all prints perfectly matched the colors from the soft proofing. I was surprised when my print came out of the printer and the colors weren't matching the soft proofing colors, but that of the print preview.
Â
I don't understand why Photoshop renders the colors differently in the first place. See attached screenshot for the difference in the blue/cyan colors. I don't care if the print view colors will match the print, but I do care when soft proofing is not working.
The colors of pictures is much darker when working in photoshop than when I open it normally. And vice versa, I work on images inside photoshop, and I get the colors I want, but once I save it to bmp or jpg or anything else, all the colors are much lighter.
i'm using photoshop 7.
CDX5: Whatever color I select for fill or outline is now set as the default color for fills and outlines without expressly setting it as such. Until now when I left or right click a color with nothing selected it allowed me to set it as a default fill or outline color for graphics, artistic text, or paragraph text. It does not do that now.
Is this a "feature" that's been added that I somehow enabled? In any event, how do I turn it off?
We are working with a company that will be sending us DWG files. They do not use the same layer colors as us and I am trying to find a lisp that would allow me to set up a table with the layer names and the color I want them to be so that I can quickly change all the layers to our companys color standards.
Example:
Layer 1 = Color 1
Layer 2 = Color 15
Layer 3 = Color 10
Etc.
I don't know a lot about lisp but I figure if I could find a lisp that did this I could plug in my layer/color assignments and it would work.Â
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.

I would just restart my drawing, however it is the new company template file that I have invested many hours into and would really like to be able to keep working with it and not start over. Or is there a good way to import and overwrite all the Prospector settings into a blank drawing?

I am having a problem with Photoshop 8 not displaying the correct colors. I can see the correct colors when I go to Save for Web or when I paste saved files into another program like Illustrator.
Has anyone got any idea how to fix or analyze this?
I'm working on a design for a web. It's quite colorful with bright colors. In Photoshop it looks exactly the way I want it to look, but when I export it as JPG, PNG or even BMP then the colors seem to be a bit lesser bright... they don't look that lively anymore.
What could be the problem? I understand that PNG and JPG may have some restrictions, but at least BMP should be able to reflect every pixel the way it is shown in Photoshop, isn't it?
My colors inside Photoshop are off. I'm using CS and when I create an image and select save for web, the colors that the preview shows are quite a bit lighter than the ones that am using inside the application.
It does this for all images. I edit them in photoshop, save them in any format, and then open them outside of photoshop and they are brighter.
Why are my pictures in PhotoShop (CS2) different from the same pictures viewed through an image viewer.
Looks like the saturation is different. I've tried proofing to the profile of my monitor (my specific monitor), windows, RGB, and all the options under 'device to simulate' in the Custom Box in the View Menu.
I have a pictures of can't get 'manage attachments' to open...
When I open a picture in Photoshop CS3 or Camera RAW for editing and then save that picture, and then open the saved picture in any program other than Photoshop, the colors and tints and saturation are very different. I am pretty sure this has to do with my color profile in Photoshop, but I've checked many online sources and my color settings seem to match up more or less with what's recommended. My camera is set to sRGB and Photoshop is set to sRGB IEC61966-2.1, and this is happening both with JPEGs and RAWs, from two different Canon cameras. Pictures look more natural when viewed in Photoshop than in other programs (I think), even before any editing...how could this be? The weird things is, when I go to Edit > Assign Profile and then select "Lighthouse (D65 G2.2 A34.29)" from the drop-down menu, the image in Photoshop now looks exactly like it does when I open the same image in an image viewing program. What does this mean? Also, when viewing my photos in Bridge CS3, the colors look like they do in Photoshop until I zoom in 100% and the photo finishes loading the actual pixels, at which point the colors dramatically change. How can I edit pictures in Photoshop and Camera RAW when what I'm editing is not what's actually seen?
