Black and white option grayed Out

I have a jpeg image that I want to apply a black and white adjustment layer and then ideally fade by about 50 percent to use as a background image.  However, when I try to apply the black and white adjustment layer option is grayed out.  Does anyone know why this is, and also how I can work around this problem?  It's not an image under copyright or anything like that.  This is a picture of our building that a former employee took years ago.

Thanks in advance for any help!

    in my adjustment Panel, the black and white option in not available. I have the student and teacher edition if that helps.

    What version of photoshop?

    In cs5, look at the bottom of the layers panel for the adjustment and in the adjustment panel layers.

    If it is grayed out then try changing color RGB color under Image > Mode.

  • HP5514 could not be found in grayscale or black and white option button in preferences / how to make it appear the box tool

    I have a new 5514 which works perfectly.  However I don't find the option button to grayscale or black and white printing.  However, under Advanced settings, there is a drop down menu which show grayscale printing that the dropdown displays Off/High quality levels of black ink only.  Is it the only place to set this mode?

    Also, I can only do appear the 5510d box tool by selecting estimated ink levels.  Y at - it a shortcut for setting this up?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello sabretooth04.

    Yes, it is the only option where you can set up the printer to print in grayscale.

  • Need advice to make this card entirely black and white (not gray)

    cropped map 2png.png

    In the picture above, I am trying to do two things, I can't understand:

    1. make all blue rivers dark black (the ultimate goal is to remove them).

    2. the large bodies of water, used to indicate a cyan color while the color tool replace changed most of the water to white, along the shores of these continents, so it is always anti-aliasing of various shades of blue/cyan remaining. I wish that these pieces of white color.

    I already tried to use the color replacement tool and the color selection tool that I've used before, but I can't make it work with these parts. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Hi André,.

    There are several ways to do it depending on what you want. A simple solution is to open the stock photo in Photoshop. Click on the adjustment layer icon, then select a threshold adjustment layer.

    Who going to each pixel is black or white.

    Then take the cursor and move it to the right to remove white lines more thin than in the rivers. See this screen to enter.

    This is just a quick way - it can remove much too much the side edges line depending on what you want.

  • Virtual network and switch Option grayed out?

    I have two hosts on my environment, clustered. Web client (using Vsphere 5.5), I choose a host-> manage-> virtual switches, but all the options are greyed out (add host network, refresh the network hosts, manage physical network cards, etc.). I go to another host and choose the same thing, and these options are available. I don't know why this is happening? I have googled around, but can't find anything useful.

    You can do it in vSphere Client Host? Sometimes the Web client takes forever to load the icons change to the virtual switches.

    Maybe you should give the vCenter, a little more RAM and the Java process Web client as well.

  • Printing black and white only (no gray scale)

    I have a Windows 7 (64 bit) system with the HP Deskjet 990cse printer.

    With Windows XP, I was able to print black and white only (no gray scale), but now with Windows 7, it seems that I can't print black and white only (no gray scale).

    Is it possible to print black and white (no gray scale) with a Windows 7 (64 bit) system?

  • Canon MG5420 of color instead of black and white printing

    Yes, I read all the similar messages.  Yes, I have a Mac and follow the instructions to use TextEdit to get a printed sample to ensure that preferences are shown in black and white. In the sample of TextEdit, I was able to get a black and white document.

    I have used this printer for 1 1/2 years now without a problem.  Just a few weeks ago, when I print a document to be fair, black and white, it's printing in color or color MIXED WITH black.  Often, it is green with a bit of black or yellow and a bit of black.  When I scan a document or print a copy of a document directly on the Board, it is black and white.  When I print from my computer with Word for Mac or a PDF from Adobe, even if I make sure that the settings are NOT 'default' and the black and white option is selected, prints out in several colors.  I've made sure there's all the new ink in the cartridges, and none are the low toner level.  What to do now?

    Woohoo, Canon technical support with the phone number listed in this thread told me through it all.  It turns out that the head of the nozzle must be cleaned.  There is a small white arrow pointing up at the top of the home screen.  It is not a decoration, as I thought, but if you click on the arrow pointing UPWARDS on the printer controls that access you the parameters Menu.  From there, you can print a focus in color.  In my case, one color appears not at all, even though I had just replaced the color toner in the printer.  It said the tech that I needed to do a cleaning on the menu.  We did it twice and now it's good to go, good as new.  Thank you!

  • Why I can't print black and white if the yellow cartridge is empty but the black is full?

    I have a Photosmart C7250 all-in-one and Mac OS X 10.7 Lion, why can't I print in black and white if a color cartridge is empty? The black cartridge is full, it is not the only one to be used? Is there a setting somewhere that I can change just print in black? I tried the black and white option through command prompt on my computer but the printer always gives me an error message saying that I need to replace the yellow before I can print.

    The reason that this, your printer is actually not to damage the internal parts.  Mainly the printhead.  It is built in integrated security to help protect your investment.  HP, as other printer manufacturers, offers you with permanent print heads printers requiring ink for all colors, avoid the print heads. HP, like some other manufacturers, also offers printers with user replaceable print heads. These may or may not require ink in all colors in print, even though damage may occur if the print from the cartridge empty. Finally, HP as some other manufacturers also offers printers with the printhead into the ink supply. He is replaced at each change of cartridge. These printers will happily print with a diet low, empty or many deleted completely same models.  I understand that it can be very annoying, but it's a necessary.

  • Why inexplicably turn my clip in black and white?

    This sounds really weird, but it has happened twice now.  Edition of base done and just messing around with transitions and suddenly a small clip is shot in black and white.  Thought maybe I accidentally lit black and white I went in the correction of color and enabled the black and white option.  No effect.    Someone at - it never have this happen?  I see a green line in the clip (an index), but what that means, I don't know.

    Thank you very much!

    Hello

    new answer to the old question I know but I just looked for an answer to this problem and solved then.

    When I scroll quickly the effects window, looking for something...  using the mouse wheel. My cursor could be in the middle of the effects window. While I scrolling on the effect, which said luma / composite that, just change a listel. Try it. Happening the clip of color in black and white. Click on change this before, I tried but it didn't fix the problem, but simply scroll again and it changes color. Yes! Prior to this, my work around was to remove all the effects of this clip and copy of the effects above another element in the sequence.

  • Satellite L10-192: Video Out (TV screen is black and white)

    Hello

    I recently bought a new notebook Satellite L10-192, and I have trouble with the video out of service.

    The image on the TV screen is black and white. I have read and followed the instructions of the manual (indicate the video mode PAL B, etc.), but it is always black and white.

    I have Win XP Pro without Service Pack.

    Anyone has any advice on this problem? Can I change the resolution or color depth or install Service Packs? Or a Toshiba from the factory CD utility?

    Hello

    In my opinion, your settings on the laptop are right but please check your TV also. I put t know if your TV is a S-video port or you use a S-video adapter. Please check menu TV. Maybe it's for S-video option in the port.

    If the TV doesn't have a S-video port, you can connect your unit as follows:
    (1) SVID-adapter that brings back the color! It works with any device with an s-video signal through a plug 4-pin or 7-pin. http://www.s-vid.de/images/SVID.gif
    (2) SCART - / adapter S-video http://www.mediaatlantic.com/product.php/366/1142//8aa0b1bbaf6020c785221873b2a985bd

  • Difference between the scale of gray and black and white adjustment

    Hello

    I just want to know the difference between black and white and grey adjustment of scale when printing text only, and which uses less ink. Thank you

    Hi jexee55,

    I see that you would like to know the difference between grey and printing b & w.
    I'll be happy to help you.

    Basically, it prints in shades of gray.

    Save on ink also.

    You can change the setting in the print in grayscale driver.

    You would go into the Printers folder.
    Right-click on the printer, on the left, click printer properties.
    Click the paper/quality tab.
    Click on the button to advance down.
    Select the characteristics of the printer and enable or disable this gray scale.

    If you want to print a black and white document using black ink only, do one of the following according to
    your operating system. Depending on which printer you have.
    On Windows: Open the printer software, click on set preferences. On the paper/quality tab, click
    Advanced. Select black ink only in printing in grayscale in the drop-down list under printer
    Features.

    I hope this helps.

    Thanks for posting on the HP Forums.
    Have a great day.
