Color change of values between Illustrator and InDesign
I have googled and looked here for an answer to my question, but have not been able to find anything.
I designed several pieces of encumbered asset, all using the same unique color. Some of the pieces I designed in Illustrator and the other in InDesign.
The problem is, when I copy and paste the yellow color value (if it is RGB or CMYK - I tried both ways), it CHANGES between Illustrator and InDesign. The color stays the same between Illustrator documents, but if I C + P InDesign - or vice versa-, the color value change literally before my eyes. And I don't want to say 'looks like' different, real changes in number.
Here's a real example:
Call a box in Illustrator and chose the color #f8f1e0 / 2% 3% 12% 0%. Call a box in InDesign, C + P had the values of color in there, and it DID change the color appropriate for a moment. You click OK. Click New in the color picker and color is now #f8f1e1 / 2% 3% 11% 0%.
If it is relevant, it seems that the color will change to a slightly darker every time.
And Yes, the two documents has STARTED OUT as CMYK documents and stayed like that. I also have my color sync via Bridge. I'm working on CC 2015 and all programs are up to date.
Any idea of what could happen? Thank you in advance.
ETA: Okay, I just chose preview overprinting in Illustrator and also changed the color of #f8f1e0 to #f8f1e1. I see now this is not a malfunction of the program, but can someone explain WHY this happens? I'm still new to color management and it's quite confusing for me. Thank you once again.
ETA: thing: when I save the InDesign document to readable PDF and then pull it in Illustrator, the color is now #f8f2e2, even when you preview overprinting.
Hexadecimal values are RGB color, so if you plug one in the color chart the resulting CMYK values are a conversion of the color management of the profile the document CMYK document RGB profile. You will get different CMYK conversions according to the profile source RGB, CMYK destination profile, intend to color and compensation of the black point used for the conversion.
In addition the InDesign documents can have colors RGB and CMYK with CMYK and RGB profiles assigned that do not necessarily correspond to the color settings work profiles, in order to sync'ng your color settings may not get everything to match.
Ultimately if you want to match the CMYK color or nuances between AI and ID, make sure you document assigned CMYK profile matching (Edit > assign profile...) and enter CMYK and hex does not values

I'm trying to put together a Guide to color for my company's brand guidelines.
Initially, I worked for InDesign and copied all H, RGB and CMYK values that I had when I went in an eye my original color palette.
However when I put the same values of RGB in Photoshop I gives me a (somewhat) a different set of CMYK numbers than I had initially documented in InDesign.
Why is this?

It makes me feel a bit nervous leaving aside CMYK all together...
CMYK is essential for a company's brand guide. The printer ask again, it's a simple and direct question. If they cannot answer this fundamental question, that speaks well of their professional standards. It is a common practice and highly standard procedure. I do it all the time (and get answers directly in the world).
That said, if this guide in general and not necessarily related to this particular printer, it might be preferable, specify a profile which is commonly used as a general practitioner in your area. It depends on where you are. Here in Europe, it would be either Coated FOGRA39, ISO Coated v2 300% (eci).
In the United States, I guess us Web Coated (SWOP) v2 would be on a list, not because it's necessarily just for the purpose, but simply done to be the default Photoshop. Printers must get loads of the present. Same here in Europe, where this profile is never used any where, a lot of people use it just because it is the default value of the PS and it never gets turned into something more appropriate.

Change my plan of Adobe Creative Cloud to Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign only
Hello
I am currently on creatively Cloud subscription (one year) complete but want to "downgrade" the plan I use not anywhere near any of the application in the plan. What I'm after is a plan that would include Photoshop, Illustrator and Indesign only, the rest I need, and why pay a lot for the apps that I will never use isn't something I want to do.
If someone could give me an idea where I might find a plan like this, or contact information for Adobe Creative Cloud, I would be very grateful.
Kind regards
Anina

Windows does not include hardware drivers or a screen rotation capabilities. As your hardware or the hardware driver software does not change, it may indicate that you must reinstall the software, perhaps with a more recent version, you can do it from the manufacturer's website. Alternatively, because the function doesn't do not part of the Windows operating system, you need to contact Acer support.

Hello! I am a family oriented photographer and have a bit of trouble to keep the colors of files exported between lightroom and photoshop consistent. I edited my images on 5 Lightroom and export TIFF files after changing color ProPhoto RGB space. Then, I opened a picture at once and changed the settings of Photoshop CC ProPhoto RGB color (under the workspace). When I was editing on photoshop, I tried to export the image, but the colors seemed different, a bit washed out and blue, from the color of the workspace, I was on. I don't know how to solve this problem. Please notify.
Thank you very much for this! Color sorted

Illustrator and inDesign: over-pants D500 or over-pants D700?
I am looking to buy a new Mac Pro. I was wondering if I should choose the Dual AMD over-pants D700 with 6 GB memory GDDR5 or the Dual AMD over-pants D500 with 3 GB memory GDDR5. The Mac will run for the most part, Illustrator and InDesign and used to create a POS, signage and vehicle graphics. I do not create or edit video files or 3D. I guess that to put it more simply, Illustrator and inDesign will benefit from the additional resources available on the D700 over-pants?
If you're just doing 2D work, no, not by any means. up to a high level of complexity, you can get away with a lot less.

I had a plan that was built to use about 5 total programs, mainly Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign, but now I see not as an option and I'm a graphic artist, not a photographer, and I don't want to have to buy subscriptions to each individually... is possible to retrieve the map I had? (I had to cancel when I was unemployed for a while and couldn't afford to keep paying my membership)
I don't know what you had, but you can buy now is the special plan of photography at a special price and individual programs can do for (I think) $20 each
Go to Cloud Plans https://creative.adobe.com/plans and check price... you CAN do better with the overall plan cloud
