% White / black % using the color picker

Photoshop CS4

This article

http://webdesign.about.com/od/colortheory/SS/aa040907_2.htm

Treaty to create a set of web colors using the photo shop. On the page referenced above to the article, the author says to set the base color by adding 50% white and 50% black to create new shades of colours.

How do I do that? (add a percentage any of any color?)

TIA

Karl

Create a new layer fill, color United, black or white, on top of your color swatch.

Now adjust the opacity of the layer to something else as 100%.

That's what describes the author of this article.

  • Using the color picker to the linear gradient does not

    Sorry for the bad English, I really don't know how to ask this question tbh.

    I'm doing a degraded, object using four colors that I put in place. I did four arrows to the linear gradient bar, but the second, I use the color picker to add the right color, changing the bar of solid colorand gradient bar disappear. I tried many things and scoured the internet to find answers, but can't find anything about this problem. I'm this Adobe Illustrator Gradient GOLD text, logo - YouTube video and this is the stage at 03:07 that does everything just for me. I would appreciate help!

    Thank you

    Rather than put into squares colors use color chart & global colors (indicated by a white triangle at the bottom of the swatch)

    To apply the nuance to a point of gradient is easy. You select the point of gradient (indicated by a black triangle above the point of gradient). ALT then click a color in the Swatches palette to fill this gradient.

    If you use global colors, you can easily double, click a shade and change colors and all uses of the color update.

    Here, I've added 44 black to make the Green darker.

    World Vision automatically adjusts the point of gradient.

  • Keyboard shortcut to use the color picker in another application

    Hi, I'm new here. My first post.

    I remember there was a shortcut in Ps to use the color picker in another application. For example, choose a color from a web browser. I don't remember the keyboard shortcut. Anyone know it?

    Kind regards

    You can choose the eyedropper tool, click on your document open in photoshop, and then hold down the left mouse button while you drag out of photoshop to read the colors.

    Also works when the adobe color picker dialog box open in photoshop.

  • Internet explore open Photoshop help when using the color picker

    Hello. In PS CS4 and XP.

    Half of the time I use the color picker in Photoshop suddenly IE is opened using Photoshop in a separate window. I'm clicking on something? What I seem to be clicking on the box of color ranges is in the color picker. It's just very annoying. Was wondering if anyone had this problem? I thought that using Photoshop was supposed to open if you click on the Photoshop eye on the toolbar, which is not in CS4.

    It has been seen from time to time.  This may indicate corruption in the memory space of Photoshop.  If I were you, I would immediately save my work and close Photoshop if you do this.

    Some things to try to prevent it from happening:

    • Update your video driver on the web site of the manufacturer of your video card.
    • Set up the OpenGL drawing to turn off advanced drawing and vertical sync.
    • Examine your 3rd party plug-ins, delete the ones you don't need and seek versions updates to those that you use.

    Good luck to get to the bottom of this.

  • Can you use the color picker when setting gradients in Illustrator?

    I am able to set up a custom in Illustrator without any problem gradient, but I wanted to know if there is a way to use the color picker when setting your custom colors or if you are limited to a narrow bar of color (which has all the colors but feels harder to use for me)?

    Click color to change in the Panel degraded stop / palette. Then, double-click on the fill area at the bottom of your tool palette/Panel. Who should bring up the color picker and color you choose apply until stop in the gradient you had clicked.

    Alternatively, double-click the area fill with nothing selected to bring up the color picker. Choose your desired color, and then drag the color from the fill box to the Swatches palette/Panel to create a new shade. Later, with the gradient panel/palette active, you can drag samples directly on the steps of color to change your gradient.

  • The mouse pointer (still) disappears when using the color picker

    Someone suggested to start a new discussion, since the old writing is a couple of years now. Thanks for the tip!

    Whenever I select a color using the eyedropper icon small (used to be a magnifying glass) in the color picker, the cursor goes away after I made the choice of colors.

    I have that experience under El Capitan, but I had the same problem in Yosemite as well as Mavericks and on Mac computers. I've seen this behaviour being reported in the forum for older versions, such as the Mountain Lion, but never with a real solution (workaround has been on creating a new user and delete the old).

    I hope someone has a solution for now.

    The eyedropper tool worked very well for me and still does (I just checked).

    If creating a new user solves the problem then, you have some corrupted in your account settings, or, less likely, you run an application (possibly a connection point) which is the origin of the problem.

    Hold down the option key, and then use

    Finder > go > library

    menu item. You have a folder 'ColorPickers? If so, is it empty?

  • Using the color picker for stroke only gives 255,255,255

    I'm trying to choose a line color of an image. The image is GG2.2. When I select the color of the image I get only 100% K. If I choose my background color which is the white paper he returned 53% K. I choose a color of my swatches without a problem. I use PS CC 2014 on an iMac running 10.9.5.

    That's it, thank you. I had just sharpened which creates a layer with a mask. When I select the BG layer, all right.

  • Book Module Lightroom 4 - can - I use a color picker to select a color in a photo to use as the backg

    I'm trying to match a background color of a page in a Blurb book using the book of Lightroom 4 Module.  Is there a way that I can use the color picker to select a color in the photo to use as color for the background and the type of color?  I see the color box for these situations, but the color picker doesn't seem to work with the range of color that appears and wrong to the photo.  Any suggestions?  I forget something very obvious?

    It works for me.

    The usual way to Lightroom: click the eyedropper in the palette of colors first, then hold and drag to your photo to the color of the sample.

  • using the color laserjet 3600n - I want to print in black and white, but it prints black and white negative. * beep *.

    using the color laserjet 3600n - I want to print in black and white, but it prints black and white negative.  * beep *.

    I was able to recreate what you see.   I managed to work around it by installing a different driver that is also supposed to be compatible with the CLJ3600.

    Please consider trying this as a possible solution:

    (1) uninstall the driver CLJ3600 by opening printers and fax machines, driver selection and right-click on it and select Delete.  Once it is removed, right-click on an empty space in the windows printers and faxes and select Server properties.  Click the driver tab, click the CLJ3600 and then click on remove.

    One when you're done, restart, and then install the CLJ3500 driver.  This is a previous version of the driver that has been implemented for the CLJ3600 and is compatible with the CLJ3600.

    After installation, try printing again.

    The output I have indicates it will print is more negative.  Please let me know if you have success.

    One caveat about this solution.  The Color LaserJet 3500 doesn't support duplex.  Of workaround only works for two printing on the package of basic or the Color LaserJet 3600 N.

  • My 3-in-1 uses the color cartridge for copy/printing black a black paper on the glass top...

    My 3-in-1 uses the color cartridge to black for a black document on copy/printing tray, but use black cartridge to print in black from the computer itself.

    In other words:

    (1) if I have a document with a black print in Microsoft word on my hard drive and I want to print this document in black print, while the 3-in-1 works fine. In other words, is the black cartridge can print a document in black to a black document.

    (2) if I take this same document which has just been printed in black and put one on the glass and try to produce a black document thereof using the copier function, the 3-in-1 uses the color cartridge to produce the black document... .more is very slow (the same speed it would be if I were to produce one side of color of color documents.

    Of course, it cannot be the black cartridge.

    Through a long trial and error process, I got lucky and I resolved and the resolution is not what I was expecting and makes no sense to me.

    Use the settings of the printer itself, I just changed the setting from "automatic" to the "plain" paper and the setting in 'text' value 'None '.
