How to change the color of an object without losing its detail?

Hi all

I get by creating most of the time the artwork for my ad in photoshop, my finished product is always good, but I'm not an expert by any means.

Currently, I am in need a yellow real estate sign post... all sock images that I can find to buy are white. I'm sure that there is a way to fix it, but I'm coming without the required knowledge...

Starting with an image like this:

[IMG] http://i1043.Photobucket.com/albums/B439/just_luc/Firefox%20Uploads/stock-vector-for-sale-Signe-vecteur-1.jpg [/IMG]

(And before everyone says anything yes I know this is proof... I fully intend to purchase the image once I determin I'll be able to use it for my needs.)

I tried just using the paint bucket tool in the color I need:

[IMG] http://i1043.Photobucket.com/albums/B439/just_luc/Firefox%20Uploads/test.jpg [/IMG]

If I spend a little time I can obviously do a better job, filling all space missed, but the image loses the grain of wood and other details...

Is there a better way to do this?

As always with Photoshop, there are several ways to achieve this.

One method would be to select the woodwork in the Panel (see below) and to promote this selection into a new layer Ctrl (or cmd on a Mac) + J

Then select the layer effects (by clicking on the button fx at the bottom of the layers panel.

Then select color overlay

Choose the color that you want to

Then play with the blend mode (you will probably find that multiply or color will work better - but have a play).

To select the woodwork, you can use a number of methods, including the following:

Use the pen tool and then convert the path to a selection

Go to the menu select, then select color range

Use the quick selection

There are other ways (do a search to make selections in Google)

Another method would be to create an empty layer above the layer that has the Panel and then (on this layer) with the paint brush tool on the Panel with the color you want. If you multiply or the selected color in the blend mode, you can keep all the texture of the original image.

As I said there are probably at least another 99 ways to do it - the above is only a few suggestions.

I suggest that you have a good game and see what happens.

Any clarification - then just after again.

See you soon

  • How to change the color of a vector without turning pixelated icon

    Hello

    It is probably quite a simple question, but I can't seem to find a specific solution to my question anywhere. It would be nice to get some tips!

    I have an account with Flaticon, and they offer PNG, SVG, EPS, BASE 64 and PSD options for icon graphics. Now, they are all black, but I need them in color.

    So, I opened them in Ps, changed the color (Hue/Saturation and Chromakey... tried also the color replacement tool, but that did not work), saved as a PNG image (like I need the background transparent and placed in my InDesign document. However, when it is placed in my InDesign document, it seems pixelated.

    Does anyone know why this might be?

    Thank you!

    Claire

    This isn't how it will show printed, it will show even better than that. Try to go file-> the Adobe PDF presets-> [high quality printable]

    This should give you a better idea of the print quality (although sometimes pdf viewers display things a funny little too XD)

    PNG is good if you make a raster image that needs a transparent background. But yes, you can copy and paste vectors directly in Illustrator in InDesign and InDesign it will retain as a vector including being able to change it. Tool pen InDesign and selection tools are substantially the same as Illustrator.

  • When checkboxing 'Use as Button' - how to change the color of overview?

    Smart form with the text: when checkboxing 'Use as Button' - how to change the color of overview?

    In the button shape properties panel, you will find a 'Normal' field, if you open the drop-down list you see the other two States, select and change the Fill/Color/Character...whatever you want.

    If you want to use the States for this button several times, I recommend to save the style or to create styles in the object Style Manager where you can also modify built-in three States: Normal, rollover and down.

  • Change the color of an object

    Very unsuccessfully tried to change the color of an object:

    My simple approach was:

    A BMP format color is black and I want to change in Royal Blue

    var myobject = MyDoc.GetNamedObject (Constants.FO_PgfFmt, "Heading 3")

    MyObject. Color.Name = "blue";

    alert (myobject. Color.Name) / / the color is always black

    I also tried:

    var mycolorprops is myobject. Color.GetProps)

    var i = GetPropIndex (myobject. Color, constant. (Name)

    mycolorprops [i].propVal.ival = Constants.FV_COLOR_ROYALBLUE

    or

    . propVal.sval mycolorprops [i] = 'Royal Blue '.

    If I can solve it for the color, then I'll be able to work with all other orders that involve properties.

    Hi Bob, here's basically how it's done:

    #target framemaker
    
    var doc = app.ActiveDoc;
    
    // Get the required objects.
    var pgfFmt = doc.GetNamedPgfFmt ("Heading1");
    var color = doc.GetNamedColor ("Red");
    
    // Apply the color object to the paragraph format.
    pgfFmt.Color = color;
    
    alert (pgfFmt.Color.Name);
    

    One thing to know: this only changes the color to the paragraph format, but it does not have the equivalent of an update all in the paragraph Designer. You should always pass by and apply the paragraph format updated (or color) to any paragraphs containing the tag with this format.

  • How to change the color of pre-rendered screen.

    My question is how to change the color of the page that is displayed before a site is fully charged. So let's say I go to a site where the background color is red. Before the end of Firefox loading it will appear as white. Also yes I have known that I have an add-on which changes the default color of YouTube. However the first picture comes on all websites no matter if their background is white or not.

    You can try the userChrome.css code or elegant.

    Add code to the file userChrome.css below default @namespace.

    @namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
    
    browser {background-color:#f0f0f0!important}
    

    The file userChrome.css (UI) customization and userContent.css (Web sites) are located in the folder of chrome in the Firefox profile folder.

    You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:

    • Create the folder chrome (lowercase) in the .default < xxxxxxxx > profile folder if the folder does not exist
    • Use a text editor like Notepad to create a userChrome.css (new) file in the folder chrome (file name is case sensitive)
    • Paste the code in the userChrome.css file in the Editor window
    • Make sure that the userChrome.css file starts with the default @namespace line
    • Make sure that you select "All files" and not "text files" when you save the file via "save file as" in the text editor as userChrome.css.
      Otherwise, Windows can add a hidden .txt file extension and you end up with one does not not userChrome.css.txt file

    I think you should probably use an extension or theme to replace the default colors.

    If you are not interested in all the changes that might come with a new theme, is the next extension compatible with Linux?

    Hi @all!

    How to change the color of the title bar? I want to use color.black, not blue? who can tell me, thanks!

    If you change your theme of "Bright" (default on the Z10) 'Dark' (which will default on the Q10) all the bars title will change to black. However, be aware that all components of Cascades will change the bright theme with the dark theme, such as the buttons change to light gray to black.

    See example on this page: http://bbcascades.com/index.php/ui-features/design/42-theme (note this is an old screenshot, I should update to have the bright theme with the new blue header bar)
