Conversion of pantone color mode to CMYK in Indesign CS3?

• Should what color modes I use in Indesign?

  Hello

  I'm a little confused about what color modes to use in Indesign. For example, I was convinced that the default color mode is CMYK. However, when I click on the 'race' or 'fill' to bring up the 'Color picker' window 'saw the RGB color space". Is this good? The swatches Panel contains colors CMYK only, so as you can see I'm confused by that.

  Another question I have, is if I print an Indesign using CMYK document, however my document contains a photoshop RGB image, how will it be affected? Should I change the RGB image in photoshop to CMYK before points in Indesign?

  See you soon,.

  I see slightly different colors by changing the colors betweenproof and separations preview if I chose a proof profile that differs from the profile of work document. Without seeing your monitor, it is quite difficult to know if what you see is accurate. You asked beforre if a new maonitor is calibrated automatically and the answer, which I forgot to provide, is not. The best way to calibrate and profile your monitor is to buy an instrument, either a spectrophotometer or colorimeter cheaper and software calibration. Here, the standard of the industry seems to be the Gretag McBeth EyeOne colorimeter, which sells for about $200. There are other options of other providers that are less expensive.

  On your Mac, I think that the profiles are porbably stored in the ColorSync folder. You can search for files with the .icc extension and you will find them wherever they are.

• Illustrator 282C pantone color numbers different for example RBG, CMYK, Web color compared indesign colors and photoshops which has the same values of color for the two C. 282 I typed in a different color and the same issue. Why would it be different in a

  This is illustrator

  

  It's photoshop

  

  Libraries are the same? The two RGB colors are different and they have different look on the screen.

  None of this has to do if you are not working with color management and conversion of spot color to a CMYK process color, which seems to be the case here...

• CMYK and Pantone Color in artificial intelligence

  If I have only the pantone color, find the CMYK in artificial intelligence?

  Double click on the sample, and you should see the CMYK values for this ink.

  

  If you want to convert this to print in CMYK, there are 2 settings to change

  • Book in CMYK
  • Spot to process

  You will notice the icon change in the color chart to show that this color is so more spot but CMYK.

  There is now no exact value of CMYK to PMS colors. Adobe and Pantone changed their CMYK values over the years. While most of the CMYK matches are close, some are significantly different because you have only 4 inks trying to simulate the pantone together library, and a fluorescent or metallic PMS color for example would be very far. More muddy PMS colours usually have a close game, but especially those most dynamic have a close game.

• Work in CMYK color mode

  Hello

  I am trying to better understand how to use Illustrator to print correctly and my biggest hurdle is to understand how o use the colors correctly.

  I've done several tutorials and just need to clarify just to ensure that I understand them and I have do this process correctly.

  Issues related to the:

  1. I have read that it is possible to use RGB colors with CMYK to print and I sometimes see RGB color mixed with the CMYK colors in my color chart. Is it okay to use RGB to CMYK as my understanding RGB is to screen only?

  2 - is the right way to apply a CMYK color to work in Illustrator?

  

  3. I'm picking nuances using the guide in color in illustrator and when I double click on the individual color chart this screen with the little cube. I did some reading on this and there are sources saying that this has something to do with RGB modes? Still, leads me to believe that I do not apply color properly in illustrator. Here is the image:

  

  Would be really grateful for help with these issues, it will let me continue work knowing that my work is done in a good way before you start. It would be also nice to have suggestions or advice on the workflow.

  hope to hear about it.

  An Illustrator file is RGB or CMYK. The nuances that are the same color as the file mode a.

  You can set the color using different color modes, but when you click OK, the color is converted to the current document's color mode. It will change, and the numbers do not come back. The conversion is based on your color management settings.

  Some printers support the RGB files - it depends on the printing process and the machines they use. Print large format is often made with RGB files. As are some digital printing processes. Ask the print service provider about this.

• PANTONE CMYK failures different Pantone Color Bridge

  I wanted to know why the distribution of the color that Indesign gives a Pantone Spot color is different from the one specified in Pantone Color Bridge Book. Also, the color on the screen that Pantone Color Bridge breakdowns show seems more precise than those specified by Indesign.

  Any ideas on this or items that can explain this?

  Thank you

  If I remember correctly, InDesign´s Pantone Solid CMYK conversion is the conversion table-based us SWOP. Bridge is based on the European color conversion table, probably a standardized ISO profile. That s why I always use CMYK values taken from the booklet of the bridge of the Euro, I never let Indesign convert spot Pantone Solid to CMYK color by changing the color of spot in the process type.

• I want to print or export (PDF) a design with an indication of pantone colors used without separations so that our customers can see them (not in CMYK)

  Before I used illustrator CS, I was able to point used on a print or PDF with coreldraw pantone colors.

  Can someone tell me how to make such an impression with CS6.

  My customers saw no Pantone colors used in the design (not in CMYK)

  Add your tones to your Swatches Panel (window > Swatch Library > color books > Pantone + solid coating >)

  In the menu drop-down of the swatches Panel, select all unused nuances and delete it. Also remove all unused swatch groups.

  File > Configuration of Document > do the purge. 5 ".

  Use the text tool to indicate the spot colors on the outer edge of the background area lost, do the color type matches the specified color spot.

  Save as PDF. This PDF file printed with purge will show the spot. Alternatively, you can select 'Add crop marks and color bar' in the print settings, which should also indicate the tones.

  In InDesign, you can add a box to your page slug, where tones usually added.

• change the doc of SRGB to CMYK color mode?

  Hello

  How can I change a document in InDesign CS3 from SRGB to CMYK? I have a post card I want to print and want to make sure that it is in the correct mode. I'm fairly certain that it is set to SRGB right now.

  Thanks for the help!

  In fact, the InDesign documents are not only RGB or CMYK. They have profiles of 'working space' for both.

  But the images in the document may be RGB or CMYK.

  If you are printing on a desktop printer, the printer will make the conversion from RGB to CMYK.

  If you send to a commercial printer, choose file > export > Adobe PDF and choose PDF/X-1a, as a PDF preset. The RGB images will be automatically converted to CMYK.

• Transparency in the CMYK color mode

  Windows XP Pro, Photoshop CS3

  It seems we can keep only transparencies of background if the image file is saved in PNG or GIF format. It also seems that a cannot be saved in these formats of files if the graph is in CMYK color mode - be mode RBG to do. How can I keep the image with transparency to CMYK?

  Why don't you just stick with the Native PSD format? I don't understand why you feel the need to go with PNG and GIF. PSD, PDF or TIF seem like more appropriate file format. Explain a bit more on your end goals could give us more guidance as to the best solution for you.

  

• All the colors in a CMYK conversion file?

  Sometimes I have files having ridiculous color names or a dark palette that does not recognize my rip.  Is there an easy way to convert all colors in a CMYK file?

  If the document is in CMYK color mode, select and remove all the colors in the palette (unless entry that won't let you), then delete them.

• Spot and process color - color Mode confusion?

  I have a question about the choice of colours in the new window shade of color. I think I understand the difference between spot and process colors, but the menu options drop-down confuse me because if I choose the Spot or process in the color Type drop-down list, the same libraries listed in the color Mode drop-down list. How it works, or why that happens? What is a conversion? By example, if I click on treat as the color Type, but then choose Pantone Solid Coated color mode, it shows me the colors available, but are not the spot color Pantone libraries? And if I chose the Spot as the color Type, but then choose CMYK color mode, it gives the CMYK sliders. But shouldn't I be forced to choose from a library of Pantone for a spot color? I would appreciate any explanation of what I want to make sure that I choose colors appropriate for my print projects. Thank you!

  You can create a spot color with a personalized mix of CMYK (and even it the same name as a color library if you want). The utility here is that you can create a custom spot with a conversion of customized process color or use your own numbers of conversion for a color book if you think you have a better mix. I recently had to do a special mix for conversion Pantone spot to fit a particular press in order to get a better match for the other materials. This is how we have treated, well I did by the folding of the swatches pantone for my custom and then point to change that to treat in the ink Manager, rather than playing with the color of the library directly, which meant that I could have the custom or book value, according to the settings I chose If the job went to another, press.

  There are, I think, four sets of libraries of process included in the code. Pantone Process libraries are sets of bleachers of percentage blends four inks, process and have names that begin with DS followed by some numbers. I think that TrueMatch is a similar system, although I've never worked with a printer who used it. PANTONE Color Bridge and solid to process library are the two simulations of Pantone Solid spots libraries process. The bridge of the color is more recent, and I think largely replaces the solid to deal with.

  You can get printed books swatch for all included libraries (spot and process), and you should do it for all the libraries that you use to specify the color. Tones in particular cannot make good on your monitor, and the press operator care what you see on your screen. He's going to get out his swatch book to check that the color on the page is him even that you specified.

• I had problems with the color mode. kept, restart photoshop to find the problem. NOW Photoshop CS6 will not organize, it is stuck on "initializing". How to start?

  At first my documents were pasted on the CMYK color mode, and I couldn't understand how to convert the file in RGB.

  Finally, I abandoned, saved the file and tried to present what I was working on a Web site.

  Before that, I closed photoshop and he raised 2 times in a row to test color on profiles. When finally it seemed to me he decided to go back to RGB, I closed and returned to climb my image. However, the site did not accept it because the jpg was in CMYK. So, I went to relaunch photoshop to convert its color profile and now photoshop will not launch.

  As a first step, it got stuck on "checking memory."

  I closed my computer to see if this would clearly be the question, then tried to restart photoshop and it is now stuck on "initializing".

  I really need photoshop work, so how can I solve this problem?

  Laptop: The Retina of Macbook Pro screen

  OS: OSX 10.11.3 EL Capitan

  PS: Adobe Photoshop CS6

  It is the first time that I ever had this problem, and I've had this program for 2012.

  Hi shiblets,

  Please press the home button on the keyboard when you see the screen "initializing".

  If it does not, please press the SHIFT key and then launch Photoshop, to ignore the third party Plugin.

  Kind regards

• How to get gradient Pantone colors?

  My customer logo has a shield with a gradient on it, and I don't know how to determine what pantone colors they are. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

  If its juice all made from random CMYK or rub generates, then you could open it in photoshop, or copy - paste in it.

  You can then use the pipette and the photoshop color picker lets you click to display the closest Pantone color match.

  its not always accurate, but it's a good start, you can then look for numbers in the book of pantone and soften it to something that seems closer, or has a substitute CMYK better / build process work.
