Colour Swatch To Gradient

For example, if I created a HUD that is primarily blue; each button, area, layer and so on are all different variations of blue and it is all saved as a Swatch Preset.



Now I export this out and send it to a third party and they decided that they want a green version as well as the blue.



Is there a way to make it so easy for that third party, that they can select a shade of green from a color picker and it would replace all the swatches to green but keep in the exact same variations/level in terms of how dark, light, transparent each swatch is and then have it automatically replace every area and layer?





I kind of remember seeing somewhere that theres a thing similar to this but i just cant for the life of me find it again, i remember it had something to do with linking symbols and swatch definitions and that it can be done with extracting assets and layer comps as well.






Now if that is not doable, is it possible then to simply send the 3rd party a new set of Swatches where each color is predefined to an area/layer and would immediately replace the current color at that place as soon as the 3rd party presses this new Swatch set?






Thank you!

Hi I've just created a white circle. I would like to add some shading on it to make it appear more 3D.

I use the gradient tool...but instead of it being white...with dark grey/black shading. It goes from white and fades to the colour of the background it's on. I've spent hours messing around with the gradient tool and the colours will not change. It just fades to whatever background it's on rather than a specified colour. All I want is a white sphere with black shading...rather than see through white.

It's driving me mad.

Cheers

Hi,
I have a colour image of a scene and several greyscale images of similar scenes.
I would like to use the colour information from the colour scene and add it to the greyscale images,thereby making them colour also.
I am sure there is more than one way to do this, but the way I imagined it would work was to some how sample all the colours and then map them individually to the 256 (or more ?) grey levels.
The colous wouldn't change because I would choose a 'standard' image but the greyscale images would all be different.
I have tried searching the net for info but I don't think I am entering the correct terms, so any guidance would be appreciated.

thanks.

Well her is my big challenge of the week.... Can anyone advise me how I can make the skirt part of this dress ivory colour like the bodice, rather than appearing a grey gradient all the way down the skirt now. It looked good as the original photo but now that I have cut it out and put it on a white background it looks so weird!! Also the see through tulle fabric at that shows really dark grey at the bottom of the dress should be a lighter ivory colour if there is any ideas how to do that too!

Hello.
I've recently photographed a few local bathrooms using my 18-55mm lens on a Sony A58 body. Since Apple's new OS Yosemite doesn't support Sony's RAW files I was forced to shoot in JPEG resulting in a tremendous undertaking of excruciating colour correcting in Adobe's Photoshop Elements 10. After a long period of getting the image to the colour and style I wanted, I was faced with a more challenging problem. I am now currently trying to match the colour style of my first image with another photograph of the same bathroom. Since I kept it on the same Custom White Balance it should of been easy but the second image had the door of the bathroom open while the first image had the door closed resulting in a mixture of different colour temperatures. Is there anyway of matching the style in Photoshop Elements for these two photos?

Hi I am just wondering how to achieve this effect (as seen in the following attachments).

The buildings have bold colours with barely any detail. Is this something that can be done using photoshop filters or does it need to be done by hand i.e drawing outlines with pen tool then filling with colour?

I've tried the cutout filter but the building appears to be a bit too detailed. I just want the colours to be reduced to 2-4 colour blocks?

Thanks.

I lost my dog on Tuesday and next week I will get a remembrance tattoo.
It will be on my foot.
As I wanted a tattoo in henna colour, I made the design in that colour.
However, I read about the meaning of the different colours of lotuses and as blue stands for wisdom, I tried a design in colour.
Now that turned out ugly so I came up with yet another one.
Would like your opinion, which looks nicest? The tattoo artist likes the one with the blue.

Hi Guys,
Im new to the forum and have a tricky question.
Ive been given a large amount of designs that have been colour separated for use by screen printers.
I will go through the image details below but history of the images is sketchy to say the elast.

The layer shows a black and white image and has been saved in grayscale mode.
There are numerous colour channels which are unselected. When you select them all the colour fills in gradually until its looks great. But this doesnt actually change anything eg Layer, so that is always black and white.
How can I get the printed output to look like the image when all colour layers are selected.
Im not screen printing, I am digitally printing so dont need sep colours.
I have attached an example design so you can understand better what I mean.
Any help will be massively appreciated guys.
If I can find an easy way to do this I will hopefully get a script designed that will convert 100s in bulk. Fingers crossed as right now Im lost.
Thanks guys
Neil

I'm going through a tutorial where we're using a technique that employs the use of the basic gradient tool to cover parts of a layer mask. From what I can tell, the instructor in the video is using a default black to white gradient. The problem I'm having is that he keep using the gradient tool to build up the area with several applications and angles. When I try to do that, my gradient application is 'replaced' by any following uses, instead of adding to it. Obviously I could just manually paint over the one gradient application with a big soft brush, but I wanted to know why mine replaces instead of adds. I've searched settings, but nothing sticks out. Any ideas?

This is probably an easily solved question as it was something I used to have set before I format my laptop and lost my preferences but here it is..

Before format, when I would apply the Black and White adjustment, my paint brush or pencil tool would automatically pencil/brush colour into the photo, now it doesn't and I can't seem to figure out how to revert it back to how it was. I've Googled it and can't seem to find what I'm looking for, although I think I may be just wording it wrong.

So, as below..



On these pictures I just applied black and white adjustment, hit paint brush or pencil tool and it'd inject colour in to the image, I can't seem to get that to happen anymore.

As I mentioned, someone will probably solve this really quickly.

Appreciate any help you can give.
