try to get a replacement of color, but only shades of gray

so I'll try to turn a few grains of Maple finish in white and obviously don't want to just paint it white so that it looks fake. but I still want to keep the gradient and the shadows / edges to make it look real. problem is that whenever I try to do an exchange of color, it comes out a terrible shade of gray. What is the trick to get around this? I am eager to turn the same shade as the white cabinets.DCS_0004.jpg

I would like to forget with color replacement tools and do something like the following.

1 make a selection of the filling

2. go in layer > new adjustment layer > levels

(this creates a mask so levels only affects the topping)

3 make a fill color above the levels layer Layer

Layer > new fill layer > solid color and sample a color from the wall

4. go to layer > create clipping mask

The clipping mask is so the color is only in the selected area of the mask on the layer levels

5. change the Layer blending Mode of the layer of color to color fill

6 adjust the level sliders to get the desired color of trim matching and the wall

Double click on the thumbnail of levels in the layers panel to adjust levels

  • Shade of color shows ONLY shades of gray on the gradient layer...?

    My color chart seems to be defaulting to only shades of gray on a gradient layer, and I can just find a way to let him replace the color I chose.  After that I created a new layer of gradient fill, when I have the layer selected in the layer list on the right side of the screen, color samples show ONLY gray.  If I click on the sample, it brings up the color selector, but no matter what color I select, the swatch shows shades of gray.  If I select the background layer, it goes back to show my color.

    There's probably a simple explanation to this problem, but I was searching Google for literally hours without finding an answer.  I found some similar questions have the response "go to Image, Mode, and make sure that RGB is selected."  Mine is already set to RGB, so it's not the question.

    How can I change the colors in a gradient fill layer, and why my color chart displays grayscale only when I selected gradient fill layer, even if by clicking on the color chart reveals the color picker?

    To change/edit the gradient colors, double click on the thumbnail of the gradient in the layers panel fill

    Then in the gradient fill box, click just to the right of the gradient word to change the colors

    In the gradient editor, click one of the stages of the color at the bottom of the gradient bar and click color to change the color of this judgment

    There is much more to the gradient to the room Editor to explain on the forum, so you can view the following for more information

    The reason for which continues to show your color in levels of gray, is the layer mask is still active with adjustment layers in photoshop elements and layer masks are grayscale

  • Updated to the new Photoshop CC 2015: work plan and the background are both white I can't see any outline. Will not change when I try to get a different background color.

    This seems almost elementary but I tried everything literally, the only thing I can think is that this is a bug.

    When I'm working on work plans, they are white and the background is white, so I don't quite see the outline. I tried to change the background color to dark gray or any other color, but nothing works. I restarted my computer, the software, everything. Nothing works. It only happens to me, everyone in my company isn't the problem. We checked out the contrast on my computer and it's all good. I had two different designers tinker around with it and they say it must be a bug because they have tried everything they can and I also.

    Now I simply add a grey box dark to my work plans so I can see the sketch, but it's really annoying, I have to do, especially since I work with Photoshop 4 hours per day.

    You must set your GPU options in preferences to something other than "Bacic."

  • Why the paint bucket color only shades of gray?

    I use Paint to fill colors and although I see and choose the colors of the spectrum, I'm getting is shades of gray.  What happened to the colors of the foreground and the background, why only come on shades of gray while in the selector, it shows that I took a color?

    probably, you work in a black and white document (in grayscale). go to image > mode > RGB color.

    Another possibility: you can work on a mask. Press ESC, and then go to go to layer > new layer and is if that helps.

  • How to set the default boot drive? I can get to about 8 choices but only one is correct and I don't know how to do that by default.

    I hit F10 and get a choice. The default value is a flash drive with no boot of the stuff.  How do I pick up and save the right choice that the computer always looking to when it is turned on.

    Hi Herbertrosenthal,

    Welcome to the Microsoft community where you can find the answers related to windows.

    If you get multiple entries start during the connection to the Windows 7 operating system then I suggest you to refer to the following methods.

    This problem can occur because interties incorrect startup, that I suggest to read the following steps and check if it helps.

    a. log in the computer using an account with administrator rights.

    b. Click Start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER to start the System Configuration utility.

    c. Select the Startup tab. in the list of boot tab, select the one you want to set a default value.

    d. click on apply, OK and then click on restart and check if it helps.

    Note: If you want to change the boot drive settings then I suggest you to read the following steps:

    a. new computers often display a startup (or boot) menu. In the start menu, choose "Configuration of the BIOS," or "BIOS settings," or something similar.

    Procedures vary depending on the manufacturer of the BIOS. Usually, you must press a key (for example, F2, F12, DELETE, ESC) or a key combination whenever you turn on your computer but before Windows starts. If the Windows logo appears, you must try again by waiting until the Windows logon prompt appears, and then stop and restart your computer again.

    b. the BIOS configuration screen appears. On the BIOS Setup screen, choose the option called "Boot order" or something similar. Startup command parameters may also be listed under "Advanced settings" or something similar.

    c. Select your drive from DVD or USB drive as first boot device. (The USB flash drive can be listed under "Removable devices" or other similar term).

    d. save the setting changes, and then exit the BIOS.

    Note: BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

    If you need Windows guru, do not hesitate to post your questions and we will be happy to help you.

  • UI: Colors for selection (shades of gray)

    Hello!

    Lightroom has three different levels of selection (not selected, chosen, more selected) and represents the State with different colors of gray. This looks like a very bad choice for me, because they are very difficult to differentiate.

    For example, it is very difficult to identify the start or the end of a long selection when scrolling, because everything seems just gray.

    Is there a way to change the colors for the 3 States?

    Hello!

    I don't think that there is a way to change this behavior in lightroom in the settings, but this is the place to post your suggestion:

    Hello

    That's what I feared. This kind of banding appears in images when using normal paper for use with low quality settings. You can try to increase the quality of the prints or try using photo paper.

  • try to get the transmitter replacement for my wireless keyboard USB

    I lost the USB transmitter/receiver for my wireless keyboard/mouse set, trying to find where I can get a replacement for him without having to get a new keyboard & mouse just for only a transmitter/receiver.

    Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard wireless 7000
    Transmitter/receiver says "Microsoft 2.4 GHz transceiver v2.0"

    Thank you!

    I talked with Microsoft today and, Yes, the person who answered said that there is NO replacement for the receiver, and I have to buy a new set upwards.  After asking to speak to someone who had technical knowledge and don't get any then I asked a supervisor.  I've been waiting for several minutes, but I wasn't going to give up.  Finally, an answered and after a supervisor explained that I knew something to computing, he offered to send me a brand new unit, for free.  And upward that broad, he said he could only make the order and it would ship me in 1-3 days.

    The number I called is 800-360-7561, option 2.  Make sure you ask to speak to a supervisor, as people who respond do not have any idea.  They read just out of a script.  I hope this helps someone out there.  Microsoft wants to keep their ccustomers elements and will do what it takes to keep them.

    Have a great day.

    Product keys are bit-agnostic - they don't care if it's 32-bit or 64-bit.

    However, cannot legally use the recovery disk from one computer to a different constructor machine - as other licenses are not properly paid..

    There is nothing nonetheless to try all possible variations on the absence of character (there are only 25, after all the )

    Other than that, your best option is to contact the manufacturer and order a set of recovery disc for the machine. I do no download available for Vista with SP2 - but you can download Vista with SP1 and create the disc.
