CS4 Question of color fill

Trying to paint for use on a new layer fill color, I get the message that I can't perform this action without rasterize the layer first. When I hit Cancel, it tells me "could not use the can of paint because the content of the layer is not directly editable. The problem is that I don't want pixelation. Specifically, what I want to do is create new color fill layer (say red), allows you to complete with black to create a mask by the Red transparent until with a white brush color over the paint. And, conversely, when using a black brush, red is "erased" and goes back to transparent.

I did it in CS2 and CS3 without falling on an error. I hope it's just missing me something basic and new in CS4.

Please let me know if I need to provide more information.

On the fill color layer, there are two icons: one for the padding on the left and one for the mask on the right. Click on the mask. When the mask is active, it has double lines on the corners like this:

Now, you will be able to fill it with black and achieve what you want.

    You're welcome, Calotypist.

  • Strange color fill problem

    I'm having a strange problem in my version of Fireworks MX 2004. When I try to color fill a selected area of an existing image and I chose a specific web-safe color, filled it with a completely different color. For example, I am filling my bitmap with a green color (#666600), but it is filled with a blue color (330066 #). If I select another color in green, the color to another color changes. This problem occurs with the color fill tools... Paint bucket, Brush tool, pencil, etc.

    I have no idea why this is happening, so if anyone can help me, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    I found a work around for this problem, and I thought that after she. I saved the image to gif, then selected and filled color area. It has worked well. I guess it was something to do with her being a bitmap image. In any case, it's all good. Thanks anyway.

  • Question of color transparent sample CS4

    If anyone can help I would really like to know how I can taste a transparent color.  I'm not talking sampling of the opaque original but the resulting color of transparency on top.  Now the SHIFT with the pipette selects only the opaque color, same result when I double click on the eyedropper tool and pleasant with the settings.

    No direct way I know. You can do this:

    1 rasterize the work; do not use the effect, you must actually object > rasterize, and then undo after

    2. the object of interest to you and to check playback in the color shift-sample Panel

    You can also save the file in PDF format and check the read Acrobat Pro.

  • Question of color Panel (CS4)

    It's more of a thing of curiosity to mission-critical, but this is:

    If you have a color, as you know, it appears in the Panel of color with a slider to adjust the tint. You can click the CMYK icon to show the distribution in four colors.

    But is it possible to return to the display of the cursor?

    Click on the swatch in the swatch Panel and it will give you the back sliders.

  • Question on color background with other objects

    I'm new to this forum and I am very new to illustrator program. I realize that this may be a basic question and stupid it is obvious to most everyone else here but put into perspective my skills. I am doing a project for my base class of graphic design in my community college and I do could be done better by someone in the kindergarten. He looks terrible.

    in any case, I tried to set the background color to a 8.5 x 11 in. project and I know that I can add the background color with a rectangle on the entire space and fill it with a color. My question is how can you put other objects from the background of different color on top a blue (or any color besides)? For example, I put a black circle on the top blue background but it disappears behind the blue, so you can't see the circle. I tried to reduce the opacity of the background blue, but it doesn't look good. I want to be 100% opacity blue. I just need to know how to put things on top of the background color. I'm using CS5 passing.

    Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    You have the mode draw behind? If so, change it at the bottom of the tool palette, or press SHIFT D.

  • Newbie question of color management

    Hi people

    using cs4. just finished a CMYK job on a new press. colors on the final print job were pretty loyal to what I saw on my screen when you design, with a few exceptions I want to tweak if possible. I'm new to color management, so looking for some advice.

    According to my research, the right thing to do is to ask a colorsync or icm or icc of my press profile. I did... but my press was a little confused and sent me a bunch of .icc files and I don't know that one to load. people in the press are great people and it's a good press, but I had the feeling that they have not been asked this question a lot. so I ended up using U.S. web coated (swop) v2 profile, which is what they recommended in the end.

    so if I can't get one of my press icc profile, the other approach according to my research wing and adjust the color on my own profile so that what I see on my screen match the printed output. in other words, I take the printed output and hold it up to my screen and manually adjust the color profile settings. I think that this is done in photoshop under edit-> assign the profile and/or edit-> color settings, and then synchronize the color management for all applications using the bridge. Maybe it is possible in indesign? I ask the question on this forum because of the excellent answers that I'll be back here.

    I don't want to screw things up and I'm a newbie with this, then advice out there? My basic situation is that the colors were reasonably loyal but there was a very curious thing where a c = 0, m = 0, y = 35, k = 15 color looked very green on the printed page even if it was a soft yellow on my monitor. I want to try to adjust that.

    Thank you...

    You have a colorimeter and monitor profiling software? It is the starting point of all color management workflow. You also need a pretty good monitor that CAN be calibrated. If the monitor isn't showing you exactly the colors, then nothing do you will to matter.

    Matching the print monitor is an old technique that works only when you have a closed loop where all the work is output on the press even under the same conditions. The purpose of the peripheral use independent publishing spaces, such as Adobe RGB, which is in theory everything correctly calibrated monitor will display the same image, and you can convert any space of output known at the time.

    Terms like watching soft yolks are quite subjective, so I don't know what you expected, but I do not expect 35y, 15 k to be very clear, nor very yellow. While I would not characterize as green color on my monitor, it is certainly not resemble a banana, and beside a clear yellow could be called it greenish in comparison. It's really a yellowish gray clear, in my view.

    I put up a comparison here to see what it looks like, but the colors won't be accurate in a browser.

  • Color fill problems

    Is anyone else having problems with the fill color of the cells?  Once I have fill a cell, I often can't change.  It is super glitchy.  It will allow me to change the color maybe once out of ten, or perhaps when I close and re-open the page... or maybe not at all. Curious to know if this is a bug known or just my bad luck.  Thank you!

    Hi the Heeler border,

    How do you try to change your fillings? What Version of numbers do you run?

    I remember that in the past the Palace of color would work not all means the way I expected. I think I've changed my ways and I think that numbers can also work a little differently. I'm under 3.6.1 numbers in El Capitan.

    When I click in a cell to change the fill, if the color palate is open it is not related to the filling of this cell, even if it displays the same color. I need to reopen the mouth with the selected cell, or choose one of the colors in the Palace of popup.

  • find out all the line last character and color fill

    Dear friend,

    I need to find all the last character and fill color of line (no need to the last character of words).

    My code problem: no space in the last character is not the fill color.

    My code is below:

    var myDocument = app.activeDocument;  
    var myLine = myDocument.stories.everyItem().lines.everyItem().getElements();  
    for(i=0; i<myLine.length; i++)  
    {  
        var myCon = myLine[i].texts[0].contents;  
        if(myCon.match(/\n| /gi) != null){  
            try{  
                if(myLine[i].characters.item(-2).fillColor = myDocument.colors[2]);
                }catch(e){}  
            }  
        }  
    

    My screenshot as below:

    last.png

    Please suggest a friend

    Thanks in advance

    KS

    Add a ' if else ' statement to apply the fill color to the second to the last character only if the last character is a space. otherwise apply the fill color for the last character.

    myDocument var = app.activeDocument;

    myLine var = myDocument.stories.everyItem ().lines.everyItem () .getElements ();

    for (i = 0; i

    {

    Chantal var = myLine [i] .texts [0] .silence;

    If (myCon.match (/ \n| IM)! = null) {}

    try {}

    If (myLine [i].characters.item-(1) .silence == "'" ") {}

    myLine [i].characters.item-(2) .fillColor = myDocument.colors [2];

    } else myLine [i].characters.item-(1) .fillColor = myDocument.colors [2];

    } catch (e) {};

    }

    Hello

    Question: How can I change the color of the web page outside of the project area?

    I want that my projects in 100% white as in example 1.

    I tried changing all kinds of options on the slide master and made sure that both projects have the same settings, but I still get a gray color as in example 2.

    Any help will be much appreciated.
