Select the color of bitmap images or grayscale in InDesign CC 2015.4

Hi all

Since InDesign CS1, I'm used to be able to import levels of grayscale or bitmap graphics, and then select the color in InDesign.

I just had to choose the "Direct Selection" tool, click on the graphic and select another color.

Since InDesign version CC 2015.4 it no longer works.

No workaround is it available?

Thank you


Robin (from Germany)

Hi Robin,

This is a bug with InDesign CC 2015.4.
To set the end of August.

So far, you could always leave the preview overlay mode on.
So the bug is not visible.

For a German discussion see the following thread at hilfdirselbst.ch

Umfarben nicht possible - Adobe InDesign - HilfDirSelbst.ch - Forum

Kind regards
Uwe

    It's actually pretty easy, but I have to assume that you know a few basics in Photoshop

    (1) open your existing image

    (2) double click on the layer and the 'layer style' appears. In the mix if area set the sliders so the whites in the image disappears

    You will be left with just the black elements in design

    (3) duplicate layers

    and merge them together

    to give a standard layer

    (4) ctrl or cmd click on the layer to select and create a layer mask

    (5) you now have a mask of the image. Duplicate the layer, click alt or option, click on the layer mask to call

    (6) the blacks and the whites are not completely black and white for the use of levels to adapt to the absolutes

    (7) now you have to decide what you want to select. In this case, I chose the lettering and simply covered everything else to the top with black. You do this by lasso selection and fill and items when it's delicate brush just the details with a black brush "hard." .

    (8) at this stage, you can do what you want you have a layer mask. So you can color the text for example

    or place in a background color and apply a layer as Beveling effect

    Hope that makes some sense. It is much easier to do than to describe.

  • Cannot select more than one bitmap image in desktop Animate

    I can't select more than one bitmap image in desktop Animate. Always select the same object, what should I do?

    I guess these bitmaps are on the scene. They are all on the same layer? Who is always selected is large and, perhaps, on top of all the others?

    If the bitmaps are all on one layer, you can separate each in separate layers. Once you do this, you can lock / unlock layers individually so that you can work with one image at a time.

  • The access key to select the previous and next image

    Hi all

    I did a lot of research, but I can't seem to find an answer to this.  I already know which keys scroll to the previous or next < and > frame but they only scroll; they do not pick.  Is it possible to use the keyboard to select the previous or next image while selecting as well?  What I mean by select is that if, for example, I selected the transform tool and I use a keyboard shortcut to scroll to the next section, I must also click on the image with the mouse before I can turn.  Or, if I have the align Open box, I can use a keyboard shortcut to scroll to the next section without the need to click on this image before I can align.

    I hope that I have explained this clearly.  In any case, I would like to know if there is a way to do it.  Thank you.

  • Cannot select the color of gray background

    When I use the eyedropper tool to select the color of gray background with illustrator he defined that as the color of the shape it makes some weird greenish gray color. The box in the screenshot should be the same color as the background, but it is not.

    Colorguide fail2.PNG

    After spending some more time troubleshooting, I found the solution. It was indeed a problem with the color on my computer management. I had, some time ago, set up a second display screen, but it turned off because need to concentrate on two monitors always has been disrupting my work flow. One was on a digital input, the second was on an analog input. Although I disabled the other monitor on my computer display settings, color management profile was still set to analog display, and so it was the analogue display on a digital input. I disconnected the second monitor completely and made sure color management profile has been set to digital. Now, all the colors are correct as well as profiles of colors on Illustrator.

    Thank you all for your time and your help.

  • Easy way to change the color of an image in levels of grayscale or bitmap?

    Well, I tried this search here and on the web in general, and all I can find are of the ridiculously long workarounds. It seems to be the only thing that was incredibly simple to Quark and yet is almost impossible to do in InDesign.

    Well, I hope I'm wrong on this issue.

    So, is there an easy way to do this? Import an image into grayscale, click a shade and apply it to the image, inheriting the percentage of the gray-scale values? Or even a bitmap, with none of the percentages to inheret?

    Thanks in advacnce, people. Fingers crossed!

    Select the image with the direct Selection (white arrow) tool and select the shade. Or... just drag the shade on the chart.

  • How can I change the color of contour image in CS6?

    How can I change the color of the border or edges of an image when I place this image into an existing framework? Sometimes when I place a picture, the frame surrounding this image is a very clear, almost white color. It is a problem when I have an image with a white background and I need size by grabbing the handles. Sometimes I don't see the edges or the handles of this image. I know that you can change many colors of guide, but I can't find where to change the border color of the image.

    I narrowed down it to the color of the layers in the layers palette. If my layer color is red, the outline of the frame color is red but the outline of the image is a very light blue. If the color of the black layer the outline of the image when it is placed is almost white, not yet visible

    Is it possible to keep the edges of the image as a uniform color?

    Mac OS x 10.6.8

    InDesign CS6

    I'm sure that the only way to change this color is to change the main color of the layer.

    I'm the kind of geek who found it interesting enough to check into it some, and it seems Adobe engineers wired each layer of color with a 'contrast' direct-selected-color image of contour. Once you know how they are paired, you can always set particular layer color to for your image layer, and enjoy your choice of color of the outline of the picture. Here are the pairings of the 12 color first in the order of creation of new default layer:

    The layer color > color of contour Image

    Lt Blue > Brown

    Red > Cyan

    Green > violet

    Blue > yellow

    Magenta > dark green

    Cyan > red

    Orange > blue

    Dark green > Magenta

    Teal'c > Orange

    Tan > black

    Brown > Teal'c

    Violet > Green

  • How can I replace or modify the colors in this image, to preserve transparency (resulting in different colors, where the colors meet)?

    It is a series of using channels to make choices and requires that each color you want to select a slightly different way to select colors. for example, to select, I illustrate how to get red of this image:

    I just realized that you don't have turn off the layers.

    Cmd/Ctrl-clicking on the icon of the Green chain to get this catalog it will be reversed of what you want, but don't worry about this now.

    CTRL/cmd-shift click on the blue channel:

    At this point, press ctrl/cmd-shift-i to invert the selection. Ctrl/cmd-alt/opt-SHIFT-click the icon of the red chanel will:

    You now have a selection of just the Red areas. Make new layer and who fill it with the color you want. Do this for all the other colors you want to isolate. you have to play to see what combinations of selections will work with each.

  • How to change the color of an image...

    I have a logo that I use and which has a

    white background with black letters. I would use this logo sometimes with white lettering. How can I change this using PSE 7?

    I'm creating postcards with a picture on the left and a block of color on the right who completes this picture on the left. I would also like to implement a gradient any image to the block of color. A few tips on how to do the same? I would like it to go from left to right...

    He must reverse the logo to change the black letters on white background with white lettering on a black background. Shortcuts: ctrl + I (PC); cmd + I (Mac).

    Above is an example of inversion of black letters on white background.

    If you want to apply the white logo on another image, you can use the screen blend mode causes black to win.

    For the color of the question block part:

    You want from the edge of the transition for photo color block and the melted together as in the example above?

    If Yes...

    1. make the layer a regular layer. (I usually just duplicate the layer of origin, then turn off the background.) "It's a habit.)

    2 create a solid under the image color fill layer. (Select the desired color to show the title of the image.)

    3 fade image of transparency on the desired side by using a clipping group. (Clipping mask is the same if you run through some tutorials that use this term. PSE 7 and below use the cutting order group. Layer

    See this page tutorial for different methods to make a clipping group.

    http://www.photokaboom.com/photography/learn/Photoshop_Elements/layers/layer_groups_clippi ng_masks/1_layer_groups_clipping_masks.htm

    When I use a clipping group, I tend to use a solid base color fill adjustment layer.  As you can see in the above tutorial, there are several ways to do this, use the method no matter what makes you comfortable.

    3A. I almost forgot to mention that I used the tool degraded in the solid color fill adjustment layer mask that I used as a basis for my clipping group to fade one side to transparency if the color United under the image show through.

    Tip: Hold down the SHIFT key while pulling the gradient tool to get an edge even.

  • You can change the color of an 'image' encompassing?

    It's not "hits" bounding boxes

    Is it possible to customize the default color of a selection around a picture frame?

    I know that the default "rectangle frame" matches the color of the layer (for example: layer 1 - light blue, with a the image enclosed by a brown box) which is easily changed by moving it to another layer (for example: layer 2 - red, which displays an image encompassing cyan). What defines the color of the bounding box of the image that is placed inside the "rectangle picture frame" and can it be changed?

    I have no real need to change it, I was wondering if it was possible?

    Steve

    With some experience, I discovered what determines the color "internal." It is simply the inverse of the color of the layer . The reverse of the default color of cyan, (0,1,1) layer (-ish) in RGB, is (1,0,0)--rouge. If you set the color of the layer to dark blue, the interior color will be yellow, and if you set the color of the black layer, the interior color will be white.
