Choose the foreground color

• The color selector is to select the background color instead of the foreground color.

  You know how when you are painting, you can hold ALT and it will choose a color of the cloth? Well, for some reason, mine still picks up the color, but it assigns background color instead of the foreground color. And when I actually select the eyedropper color tool, it will only select the background color but when I hold the Alt key, you select the foreground color. Basically, he is knocked down to where it is supposed to select. Do you know how it folding? He drives me crazy. Thank you.

  In the Color Palette (window > color) click on the foreground swatch. A "ring" will appear around it.

  You can also use x to exchange the undertone in the foreground if you want to change that.

• Allow the user to choose the background color of dialogue/pallet box

  Hi all

  So, basically, I'm trying to give the user the ability to customize a toolbar, I developed for work by allowing them to choose their own color. I don't want to have to keep jumping into the script whenever someone wants a different color then thought it would be an additional pleasure.

  I looked and found the code for a color picker and suitable for what I want, but being a complete noob, I

  (a) clearly hurts because it does not work and

  (b) there is probably a better way to do it.

  You will see below my script for a fake dialog window.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  var box = new Window("dialog", "Just Digital Toolbar");  
    
  box.panel1 = box.add('panel', undefined);

• Choose the RGB color in Illustrator (swatches and sliders are in CMYK mode)

  I do a simple model of cutting laser. Cutting laser acts as a printer and you choose the power, speed, etc. for each color in the document. I want to just cut, so I only lines red RGB 0.001 pt thickness. Or at least that was the plan. One of the forms in my model has come out a different red (the shades were CMYK despite the document color in RGB mode). I would like to now select all the paths in the document and make them all red RGB. However, when I open the color Panel from the dock the sliders are CMYK, once it comes despite the document color in RGB mode:

  

  How can I change all paths be red RGB?

  How can I stop Illustrator offering me color chart and options of CMYK and RGB offering instead?

  Post edited by: Dumble_dad adding the missing words

  Dumble-dad,

  I changed the RGB Panel, but now it is only to offer me the K cursor!

  If you have checked RGB and grayscale obtained, there must be something wrong, most likely in your preferences.

  Here is a list of things to try when strikes of strangeness (you may have tried / some of them already) and see if that helps you (the following is a general list of things, you can try when the question is not in a file specific; 3) and 4) specifically may be corrupted preferences):

  (1) close Illy and open again.

  (2) restart the computer (you can do that up to 3 times);

  (3) close Illy and press Ctrl + Alt + Shift / Cmd + Option + shift during startup (easy, but irreversible);

  4) to move the folder with closed Illy (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);

  ((5) browse and try the relevant among the other options (point 7) is a list of the usual suspects among other applications which can disturb and confuse Illy);

  Even worse, you can:

  (6) uninstall, run the cleanup tool if you have CS3, CS4, CS5, CS6 and reinstall.

• Cannot change the foreground color and background

  Hello

  As I usually can I double click on the background color or forground and choose from the color picker.

  But this morning photoshop starts to behave strangely and... sillyly!

  What color I choose in the right ph selector gives a shade of gray instead. Most dark color, I choose the more dark grey as I get

  and lighter lighter grey.

  Can you help me to troubleshout this?

  Thank you

  It seems that if your image is in grayscale mode. Go image > mode and change to one of the color modes.

• How Illustrator choose the base color when creating a new group of colors?

  I'm just curious on all selection and the creation of the Group color process.

  

  On the above document, I have 5 rectangles of the same size, filled with 5 different colours. If I type Cmd + A to select all, then go into the swatches Panel and click on "New color group", I got the color group marked as G1 in the image above.

  If I want the colors appear in the same order (G2 in the picture), making the left most red color as the base color, I must first create an empty group, and then add each sequence color myself.

  So I wonder how Illustrator decides what color take it as the base color?

  I think that it is the angle of the color first, and then S B or vice versa.

  Stacking order is not serious.

  But why is this important to know?

• How to choose the same color in the text and objects?

  Hello

  I have a document with about 30000 objects include text, small filled circles and paths between the circles (see small screenshot attached).

  

  I need to separate into groups based on color in order to later completely redraw. I would like to be able to select all elements with the same color but the problem being that the railways have only line-color, the only circles fill color and text only-color of the text. I can't seem to find the correct command in "identical". Any ideas of how I could do?

  Thank you very much!

  PER DAY

  more precisely what you're asking is done in the following way:
  Since you have only 3 types of select:
  First set up your magic wand by double-clicking on it in the tools Panel and configure it to contours and funds, also you can bump the tolerance up to about 75. now select your text object , and then use select even--> fill color, this should get your filled objects also, then with the magic wand tool, shift click the same traits in the selection of color and you should have all 3.  Now put it in the layer that you want, save the selection, there are other more obscure options.

  However if you just divide it into groups... try this:

  go to your layers panel and make a layer for each color

  use the same for each type.  for example, select same line color for all similar objects outline color, and then drag the color "block" in the layers panel to the appropriate layer.  Repeat for every thing.

  Finally, if you just want to change the colors on the fly, for something so huge, try edit--> edit color--> work Recolor

  Just play with it, you will see only a few colors, double click on the box, the arrow worms with color in it and (with illustrations to redefine colors in the verified corner) you will see change as you select the new color., in

  I am interested in the most direct way, if anyone knows, something which would, in one stroke, select objects containing color wherever it is.

• Is it possible to make a brush that has on the one hand the foreground color and the other the background color?

  I did an image brush and wanted to have the outlines of each stamp or the color of foreground and background color inside so that they may overlap and I won't have to go through and manually paint in each stamps subsequently.

  Other than what JJ showed with jitter, which doesn't sound like what you want, the answer is no. The closest you can come to that is to create a model and use scripts to fill Deco to center the pattern. In this example, I used the random fill with a selected path.

  

• The eyedropper tool is unable to choose the correct colors.

  

  Hello, I am facing a strange problem with the eyedropper tool.

  The background is a gradient mesh (ignore the cross). I used the eyedropper tool (shift-click/normal-click both gave the same result) on the bottom and he gave me a strange result. As you can see, the background is blue - to-black gradation, but the color scheme is green-ish of nowhere.

  How can I solve this?

  It is only a problem with gradients as a gradient is an algorithm (formula) where all the colors are only those that are defined with the steps of color on the gradient tool (Control Panel). Intermediate colors are generated on the fly in the color space of the final output, which in this case is the color RGB (profile) of your monitor space. As a work around for what you can develop the gradient of steps or same rasterize is going to happen in the colorspace of the document and this will make all the color values actually described one by one in the illustrator vector object file or image raster and then the pipette will be able to take them as expected.

  A simple example that illustrates this: in a CMYK document, create a gradient with two stops in grayscale by 100% and 99%. then shift clicking on this slope will not come an expected color but if you spend the gradient in two steps, you'll get two items at 99% and 100%.

• help choose the correct color settings

  Hello everyone, its been a long time that I installed Photoshop and do not remember the appropriate parameters for the work in Photoshop CS6.  I had a problem with my computer and had to reinstall and now my mind is a blank. I tried browsing here and on the net and came up with a large number of ions of conflict.  I know I have to use Adobe 1998, but alternatives escape me. I do know that if I should change the gray space, I was told to use gray gamma 2.2. I don't know if I should Desaturate monitor 20% etc.

  What conversion options? What should those be?  And what about the advanced controls and what must be those defined for better photographic needs.

  I hope that's not too redundant, if it has already please send me to her.

  Judging by your screenshot I guess you run Photoshop on a PC and I hesitate to make any recommendation beyond the ones I listed. I think that. other than the installer, I suggested, all of the default settings are a safe bet.

  If my answer your request solved the problem, you can mark the correct answer. Thank you.         normftb
