CMYK symbol value

A problem that I meet all working with symbols, is that when I have a symbol on my work and I want to take a certain color of this symbol, the CMYK values are different from CMYK values inside the symbol.

So let's say I have create a circle with a fill of 100% of yellow. (in a CMYK document) I make a symbol of it and drag it on the artboard. Now, I create a rectangle and use the Eyedropper to get the yellow of the circle, I find myself with 6.23 yellow cyan and 83.44.

It's frustrating when working with colors more complexes which must be the same, of course I can go into the symbol or develop it but is extra work.

Can it be solved without a workaround?

I solved the problem, but unfortunately I can't give a good answer. The problem lies, as Mylenium says in color management.

I played with different settings until the pipette has chosen the same CMYK value. There are two parameters that seem to do the trick:

RGB: my monitor is calibrated and if I could choose calibrated profile

CMYK: seems not to matter

Color management

RGB and CMYK off

Conversion options:

Engine: Adobe (ACE)

Intention: absolute Colorimetry

Problem is that I don't know if your screen should be calibrated or there is another combination of settings that works as well.

  • CMYK color values

    I am trying to create a swatch set that includes my (Hex) RGB, CMYK, and Pantone values for each brand, I put in place. But swatch sets I create get altered (any change in CMYK values) as soon as I save, then load them into a new document. I need a fix for this, or it is pointless to always create swatch sets.

    You cannot combine models of color in Illustrator.

    If your CMYK colors will be converted to an equivalent RGB color in an RGB document and will convert your RGB to CMYK colors in a CMYK document.

    Your Pantone colors are defined as laboratory and will remain the same.

    You can create profiles of Document separated with the shades you want, but you cannot mix RGB and CMYK.

  • Setting a variable that I can call it from any symbol value.

    Hey everybody!

    I'm working on a lively game of edge and I'm learning I'll you can tell

    The way I put it in place is that I have a container that contains different symbols depending on the button you clicked on. They symbols open up to a deep part of the game.

    However, I want to be able to define a variable on the stage that I can handle later when different symbols are open.

    What I have so far is my limited understaning of jquery, in the scene that I'm leaving by setting a variable

    var variable1 =     5,
        variable2
    =     10;

    Then in my symbol I want to be able to do something like this


    if(variable1 > variable2) {

    Then do something


    }
    else {

    Then do something else
    }

    }

    Variable1 = 10

    variable2 = 5

    However the problem I'm having is that when I put the value of the variable in time the name of the variable value and whole isn't rememembered in the symbols.

    So is there any code I could write in symbols that can call the variables defined in the scene in the symbols.

    I thank very you much for any help. It is greatly appreciated.

    Hi, I have solved literally just this problem for me! I was unable to include variables in the symbols to remember too. It will be familiar if you have access to the care of in a symbol, like this (this kind - of takes a step backward and takes you to the main stage of symbol):

    sym.getComposition () .getStage ().$("anElement").hide ();

    How I updated the score (shown on the stage) to in a symbol, it's to GET the variable from the scene:

    var score = sym.getComposition () .getStage () .getVariable ("score");

    score += 100;

    sym.getComposition () .getStage ().$("valueDisplay").html (score);

    sym.getComposition () .getStage () .setVariable ("score", notes);

    So for you I recommend you:

    var variable1 = sym.getComposition () .getStage () .getVariable ("variable1");

    var variable2 = sym.getComposition () .getStage () .getVariable ("variable");

    if(Variable1 > variable2) {this}

    Else {who}

    If you want to update the variables and store them on the scene, then you'd in the same way:

    Variable1 ++;

    sym.getComposition () .getStage () .setVariable ("variable1", variable1")

    I hope this helps, I am not 100% and it can be better explained as I learn I will myself!

  • Changing in indesign CMYK color value

    Hello

    I created a logo in Illustrator cs4 with the CMYK value 85% 45% 0% 10% when I place the AI logo file in indesign and use the pipette to check color, it returns 87.06 50.98% 5.49% 0%. Both applications are set to the same color through bridge settings. The strange thing is, codes two colors seems to be identical to the screen and on paper. Miss me probably a fundamental idea, but Im fairly new to graphics design, so any idea why color value changes, would be appreciated.

    To simplify:

    You must use the Eyedropper to sample colors, text, and objects created in InDesign, all placed graphics are just miniature rgb from the original to serve as layout. The original image and the colors are used on printing and exporting.

    You can export colors in the swatches Panel menu in Illustrator and save the file as an .ase and load these swatches from indesign using the fly to swatch Panel there.

    Transfer not degraded.

    The other way is to copy and paste illustrator objects in indesign and delete the copy and paste job. The color chart will transfer with gradients.

  • Values of generated amount

    Hello!

    I built a VI that is supposed to calculate the total number of revolutions to an engine rotation. I have a button that controls the speed of ROTATION of the motor and a clock which calculates present.
    The problem I have is that I can not understand how summerise the values of the revolution. Say I put my button at 3000 rpm and the time is over for 60 seconds then my flag shows 3000 rounds, but if I change the button to zero, it displays zero revolutions.

    I would show him the current revolutions and even if I reduce or stop the engine.

    I tried to set up a registry to offset and table to build, but I can't make it work.

    Greetings Maurlind!

    Maurlind,

    When you have the current value, previous situations of value, think that registers at offset. The current value is connected to the right Terminal, and the previous value is available to the left Terminal.

    Your VI has a registry change that holds [i] rev and Rev [i-1]. Adding a shift register for t [i] and [i-1] t and some calculations will give you what you need. You can either initialize all the shift registers via the structure of the case and First Call? or by cables to the terminals on the left out of the loop as you did with the revolutions.

    Place the labels next to the son showing the symbolic values on the wires. This can help you visualize the relationship between the algorithm as I expressed in my previous post and LabVIEW code.

    You can get some benefits of working through the tutorials online for LabVIEW can help you with the differences with other programming languages.

    Try to implement what I have proposed. The image above shows part of the changes that I made to your VI which seems to correctly determine the revolutions.  If you get stuck, post your last attempt, so we can help you learn.

  • To access the symbols parolees disable FPGA of host machine

    Hello

    Is there a way to programmatically access the conditional FPGA disable the host machine symbols? I would like to have a host VI who could know if, for example, the bitfile FPGA has been compiled with ENABLE_AO or not.

    solarsd wrote:

    Thanks for the tip. I was about to resort to something like that, but I thought that it would be uneconomic in terms of FPGA resources, I didn't know that it was minimal. Furthermore, you happen to know more in detail how something as in the pobrepablo1 example (btw, thanks for the illustration) would be completed in the material? What is the cost of a Panel control before FPGA? I was getting the impression that this is important - in one case, I could only include the VI my FPGA by changing some controls in the constants.

    You can get an idea of the use of the resources of statistical resources on the use of FPGAS screws. For example, I chose an FPGA random ones listed, and the table indicates that a Boolean or indicator control uses 3 flip-flops and 3 lookup tables, which is almost nothing. A constant uses resources from 0 (no logic). If your conditional constant disable can have more than 2 values, an 8-bit value is not much more expensive. If you have more than 256 possible values for a conditional disable, you're probably something wrong of course, I would not recommend using a string as in the example of pobrepablo, because it would be very expensive. That's as much detail as I can provide.

    solarsd wrote:

    I find such behavior of weird symbol be honest. I realize that these symbols are gone after compiling, but everything is managed in a LabView project, if the symbols must be available throughout. I think changing the symbol value will trigger a recompilation of bitfile FPGA anyway, so the 'source' and the binary files are synchronized. The FPGA "bitfile", as I see it, must have a code of host interacting with the driver card hardware FPGA, i.e. where the State of these symbols must be exposed to the user in my opinion. Just trying to understand the logic behind this.

    You can configure LabVIEW to open a bitfile on FPGA directly, without the VI used to compile. In this situation the VI and bitfile are not synchronized, and the bitfile could have been gathered in a different project with a completely different set of symbols parolees disable. The only way to guarantee that the bitfile is compiled with the right settings is an indicator on the front panel. You can take a look at the bitfile, it is just XML, and it doesn't even include the version of LabVIEW, used for the compilation. You can use a bitfile to a version with one crowd on the other, as long as the bitfile format has not changed. Disable conditional symbols are removed before the VI (in the intermediate form) is given in the Xilinx tools that actually create the bitfile. NEITHER could add more information, such as the value of the disable conditional, to the bitfile XML symbols, but there should be enough demand for them to do and they would then also need to add a mechanism to access this information. I could be wrong, but I don't know that enough people would find useful to a value of this change, when it is so easy to add an element of façade. Still, you could post on the Exchange of ideas FPGA and see if there is interest.

  • Values of Pantone Pantone values vs + Color Bridge Coated Book swatches

    I work with a set of Pantone colors.

    Why CMYK/RGB to Pantone in Illustrator CC values match the values given in the book of most Pantone color bridge?

    J,

    I understand the other threads that the game of RGB values is predetermined by society and not be replaced by something that (same Pantone).

    In addition, when you have the color of a Pantone ink and need to replace it with a set of CMYK or RGB values, it will always out one way or another. And if you need to combine several colors of replacement, they may well be out of different ways with the conversions provided by Pantone, which mean that they are inferior to the Pantone inks as necessary. Something similar may apply to cases with combinations of colors of substituted Pantone ink and CMYK/RGB of origin.

    Thus, at least in some cases it may be a better choice of retraining provided by Pantone CMYK/RGB values.

    In other words: who said that you agree, or should agree with the transformation (latest version) provided by Pantone in each case?

    It may be interesting to note that Pantone themselves have changed their minds about the best conversions more than once.

  • Find the spot colors in the document

    I prepare a document for printing, and when I go to the package for output I get a message that there are a handful of spot colors in addition to the CMYK. Is it possible I can get InDesign to show me where in my document these tones are? (There are many graphics placed in many pages) I can't seem to find a 'show' or 'page number' for these colors. In addition, if the CMYK symbol appears to the right of the point of color in the Panel swatched, am I good as went to press?

    Maybe the satest to see where the spot colors are in use is to open the Activ separations and separations Preview Panel, and then click the eyeball next to CMYK. Everything left on the page is your direct. If you do not see a spot color in the Panel, there are none in use.

    You asked if it was safe to go to print with stains, and the answer is that it depends. Are paying you extra for the spot colors? If this isn't the case, Swatches Panel flyout menu choose Manager of inks, then check the box to convert all Spots to process and for the best conversion to any known color space, check the box to use the Lab values as well. Don't know what you mean by seeing the CMYK symbol to the right of the swatch - which means that it is not RGB, but there are two small icons there and the one on the left will tell you if the color is spot on, but neither one will tell you if it is transposed to the process in the ink Manager.

  • HP LaserJet P3015dn: Cannot print in Arabic

    I'm unable to print Arabic on the IBM AIX printer. Any suggestion please?

    No idea of what you can do in AIX, or how, just a few remarks:

    • The LaserJet P3015dn printer supports the three 'traditional' Languages of Description of Page: PCL5, PCL6 (aka PCL XL), PostScript.
    • I guess that your AIX system generates a print job using one of these PDL; I guess it is likely to be PCL5.
    • If one assumes that generated print jobs use PCL5, you must try know which PCL symbol sets are available and with which fonts (not all games are available in every font).

    Perhaps it is likely that the following symbol sets are available with this printer model (I certainly can't speak for you):

    • 8V = Arabic-8
    • 11n = ISO-8859-6 Latin/Arabic
    • 10V = PC - 864 Latin/Arabic
    • 9V = Windows Latin/Arabic

    It is not necessarily easy to know if these symbol sets is available, or which policies support them.

    You could try to find, using PCL status collating orders, If they are supported by your printer model (I know that the LaserJet 1320n supports them, but a more recent LaserJet Pro colour MFP M475dn does not work).

    The tool of collating the State in the application (Windows) paraphernalia PCL (available through http://www.pclparaphernalia.eu) offers an easy way to check this (you would need to request the extended Police entity type); support, the data returned will be something like:

    which shows that my printer (LJ 1320n) supports the symbol sets 0r 5 M, 8 M, 8V, 9V, 10V with the Naskh font (as well as with the Kufi fonts).

    Having established what fonts support which symbol Set (s), you can then use the tool example of fonts to print a grid of available with a particular font characters / symbol set combination.

    ... and with that knowledge, you maybe would have enough information to change your AIX "scripts" (or whatever they are called) for the font / symbol value required to print your Arabic characters.

  • My mind is wiped out. I'll put up pages in Photoshop 9.0 to be then placed in InDesign 4.0 for professional printing. Can you help me configure the proper color settings, and what PDF preset to use. And output parameters, etc. Thanx.

    My mind is wiped out. I'll implement the color pages in Photoshop 9.0 to be then placed in InDesign 4.0 for commercial printing in book form. Can you help me with the settings of color in Photoshop, that is to incorporate the color profile; convert in space work, Adobe RGB, etc. and which PDF preset to use, i.e. printing, PDF / X - 1 or 3, etc. Also, what I have to select the output settings such as the conversion of colors with the Destination or the printer deals with that. I know I asked a lot, so thanks in advance for any input or advice.

    Best regards, ScottyB34

    What are the settings of your printer wants? Some may deal with sRGB some want Adobe RGB Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-k in Photoshop, then choose North Amercian prepress 2

    He'll take care of the tags for you, or if sRGB is important, Norh American General Purpose 2.

    Here is a summary of the settings PDF and their meaning:

    When you are ready to create a PDF file from an application such as Illustrator or InDesign Adobe, we give you a list of the predefined PDF settings from which to choose. Well how do you decide which is the right choice? Well, let me explain what they do.

    Let's start with the smallest file size and the name of the type of the story. It is compatible with Acrobat 6, which means that anyone who has Reader or Acrobat 6 or above will be able to open the file. Now it converts everything in sRGB color which is a common space for color monitor.

    All RGB is truncated to sRGB, CMYK and spot colors also. So that means if you have a job to print, you can see some color shifts in this outgoing PDF. You must decide whether it is acceptable. He can't stand live transparency, not flattened. It downsize image content to 100 pixels per inch and this is part of how she made a reduced file size. It also uses aggressive JPEG compression of poor quality on the content of the image. So, you can see some of these rectangular JPEG artifacts.

    But it is how it gives you a reduced file size, and results are appropriate to be posted online or attached to an email.

    High quality printing has compatibility with Acrobat 5 and above. There is no color conversion. RGB RGB stays, rest spot, stays of CMYK CMYK spot and it supports live, not flattened transparency. It does not perform some downsampling to 300 pixels per inch. So, for example, if you placed an image which was 300 ppi and then set to scale up to 50 percent there actually a res then 600 pixels per inch.

    Well, this process would take half out these pixels. Therefore, it can create larger files but that makes it suitable for in the House of printing or sending Let's say a remote office if they want to print we tell cells leaves, or brochures, or something like. It's beautiful out on an internal printer.

    Print quality and high quality printing have similar names, so this may be a bit confusing, but print quality has compatibility with Acrobat 5 or higher. It converts the content of RGB to CMYK destination values according to what you specify as the destination.

    It is usually SWOP, S-W-O-p. It supports live, not flattened transparency. It performs the subsampling bicubic to 300 pixels per inch and because that it keeps at least 300 pixels per inch, which means that it can create some large files, but it is suitable for professional printing.

    Then we start to get into the presets named 'X '. 'X' is now for Exchange. They agree on specifications and the idea is to have a set of specifications if a PDF file is compliant to these specifications, we know it's going to be printable.

    We know that imaging devices are going to treat them properly. So this goes back to 2001, and which can seem a bit old, but bear with me. PDF/X-1 has a compatibility with Acrobat 4. I know, it sounds old. It converts RGB to CMYK content, it keeps the content of good tones. It flattens transparency. Downsize it at 300 pixels per inch. It can large enough crat files if you have large size images in your project and that it is suitable for professional printing.

    The idea behind X-1 is if you send a PDF file to an unknown printer, you do not know what are their capabilities, you send abroad, it will be able to be photographed on any device. No matter the age, it is, they can print. Over the years, the concepts of Exchange became more sophisticated the workflow and devices become more sophisticated.

    SP PDF / X-3: 2002, remains compatible with Acrobat 4 and that means that it flattens transparency, but it does not perform any color conversion.

    This means that it maintains RGB content, place remains in place, rest of CMYK CMYK. He still performed bicubic downsampling at 300 pixels per inch, and therefore, it can create large files. But this is suitable for commercial printing, if the printer signals you that it is present RGB content is correct.

    PDF / X-4: 2008 is compatible with Acrobat 7 and later. See, we're getting more modern. No color conversion. RGB RGB stays, stays CMYK CMYK, spot rest spot and it supports live, not flattened transparency.

    He still performs bicubic downsampling. Therefore, it can create large files because it maintains the pieces of the image to 300 pixels per inch or higher and it is suitable for commercial printing, as long as the printer tells you that RGB content is not serious and dynamic transparency is acceptable. Some older workflow does not support dynamic transparency, or they treat well, and that's why always ask. It is a special case in Illustrator, something called default Illustrator. Its compatibility is Acrobat 6 or higher.

    It does not perform the color conversion, everything continues like this. It supports transparency live, not flattened, and it also contains the original, editable Illustrator file in the PDF file. It preserves layers and it may be return, can be reopened safely in Illustrator and it's really the only PDF format you can do with safely. But it can create larger files, because you sort of two files for the price of one, they sometimes get huge.

    So what predefined PDF is Right For You? Well, if you want to send for printing, the first thing you should do is to ask your printer how they want the created PDF.

    They should be able to give you the plug for the creation of the PDF file. They may be able to give you job options files you can simply import and use as your preset target. But if it's a stranger the printer or the printer for some reason any said, well, I don't know, just make a PDF and this happens, well, choose the lowest common denominator to the PDF/X-1 test. Anyone can image that. If it is a more modern printer and up to date, especially if you send it to someone who uses digital presses, PDF/X-4 should be safe.

    I always go back to point one, ask the printer. If you send it as an attachment or you're going to post online, well, smaller size of file is a pretty clear choice. But remember this, you can start with one of these predefined parameters, and you can always edit it to customize your specific needs. So get to know the presets, understand the destiny of the PDF you create, and then make the best PDF that you can.

  • CS5 synchronized color settings. How can I get the sync?

    My window of Photoshop CS5 for the States of color settings: synchronized. Your Creative Suite applications are not synchronized for consistent color.

    Question: How will I then get it synchronized?

    Chrissto @.

    Don't bother, just dismiss this dialog box. All means of "synchronization", it's that the same preset is applied to the color of each application settings. You can do it manually.

    But there is no particular reason to have the same color settings in all applications. Requirements will be probably different and my color settings are deliberately not synchronized (I wouldn't dream of ProPhoto RGB in Illustrator or InDesign, just as I would never policies CMYK, the value "preserve numbers" in Photoshop).

  • Find the directory of the user settings

    Hi fellow Scripting Guys,.

    I can easily find the directory of the user settings in FrameScript, through Session.UserSettingsDir, but it doesn't seem to be an equivalent in ExtendScript. I know FrameMaker knows this directory that the application uses all the time, and I see that there is a Constants.UserSettingsDir in the script of FrameMaker Guide, but there is no reference to this constant anywhere else, there is nothing in the documentation of FDK.

    How to read the value of an ExtendScript, at - it someone know?

    Thank you

    Jang

    OK, I found the answer myself.

    The property is available via the app. GetProps (), which is what I was expecting in the first place. But the following code just give an invalid object as a result:

    var MyProps is app. GetProps ();

    var i = GetPropIndex (MyProps, Constants.UserSettingsDir);

    var TheProp = MyProps [i];

    It seems that the value of Constants.UserSettingsDir is undefined in ExtendScript, or is not correctly defined. Him substituting the value 152 (which is listed in the Frame Scripting Guide) me provides access to the property:

    var MyProps is app. GetProps ();

    var i = GetPropIndex (MyProps, 152);

    var TheProp = MyProps [i];

    Adobe, please get your documentation in order. It would also be useful to have a list of values reflecting constants. , so that we can follow at least the numeric value in the browser of a symbolic value data to be used in scripts.
