Matching The Color Of A Photo May Be Easier Than You Think

Some of you will get this and for some of you, it will go over your head probably for lack of interest. It is simple yet extremely valuable. Scenario: A Cover Page For A Report. Background black. Decent size photo: Dusk sky (mixture of blue, white, light grey) and a nice picture of a bridge over the water. Nice night time like scene. The task asked was to make a border on the page (top, bottom, left, right) using text boxes (width 0.5) which matched the same color combo as the dusk sky. 1. Using the color mixing aspect concerning the "Fill of the text box", I just could not match the sky. It sort of looked like it but, a cheap cartoon version of it and it did not work visually. 2. So, resorting to an old trick, I am going to use Snag-it (you can use any software that lets you capture an area of the screen). 3. I go over to the area of the picture that has the color mixture of the sky that they needed and I captured that area which was a perfect representation of the blend they were looking for and saved it as a JPG. 4. I now went to each separate text box and using the "picture fill" loaded up the JPG and thus perfectly matched the blend they were seeking. 5. It is an old method, but when needed, it always works and can save you a lot of time and effort.
