Illustrator colors changing when pasting between Documents

Hi, I have a problem with changing colors when pasting between documents.

First of all, let me start by saying The TWO DOCUMENTS ARE in CMYK. There is no RGB CMYK questioned past here - I tried everything. At least, that I can tell.

Here's the situation:

I have a created shape, filled with a shade of PMS, from an old document and when I copy and paste into a new document, the colors suddenly change and become muddy. PMS swatch is the same, just more muddy looking on the screen, in the two Illustrator and as an exported PDF.

If I copy the shape to the NEW document and paste again in the former, the colors return to normal. So there must be some kind of issue with a color rendition. But my color settings profile is the same for both (North America General Purpose 2)

I use Illustrator CC, but I tried the same copy > paste the process in CS6 and encountered the same problem.

I tried to go to Edit > assign profile and clicking "don't color manage this Document", but which do not seem to work.

I work at a printing company, and this is not the first time that my client has noticed the change of colors. The old one is certainly how the colors are supposed to look - I'd like to re-create these settings so my new documents will always be the same.

Perhaps on a related note, I tried to work around the problem by taking the old Illustrator file, placing in InDesign, make my changes save as PDF... except almost the same thing happened. He seemed fine in InDesign, but when she saved to PDF it was muddy.

That's what Larry refers to:

  • Colors change when the downloaded on Youtube (desaturated)

    I found an old discussion about the same question, but it was not an answer.

    My videos colors change when I upload them on Youtube. Colors are desaturated roughly. I can solve the problem of really saturated video rendering, but y at - it another way to avoid the colors to change?

    I use first cs6 and Windows pro. I used the h.264 settings, but I think that I had this same problem with other parameters too (but not sure). Should I try with other rendering parameters or wrong my creation parameters?

    Thank you!

    Problem solved! Somehow, the problem was my internet browser, Google Chrome. With other browsers, I don't have the problem of color. And after you reinstall chrome it works also very well with Chrome.

  • 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

  • Colors changing when you export files HAVE in InDesign

    Hello

    Since the upgrade of CS6 CC last year, I think my profiles color or something are put in place bad between CS programs. When I'm working on a file in Illustrator (RGB) and then place it in indesign, as soon as I export the PDF the colors change. For example, a series of gray tones will be released as blue and bright orange. I'm not clued up with the settings of all programs and the inner workings, but I've never had this problem before, I've never had to change all the color settings, so think, need a new default setting I don't know.

    I understand there are a many settings that could do that. I export the PDF RGB file too, but I can't see a likely switch to CMYK. Is anyway to reset all the settings back by default so that I can at least try and get the settings I usually use with CS6.

    Don't know what to do... any advice would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance

    Your Illustrator color settings is a problem. Choose 2 North America prepress of the parameters, which will assign sRGB to new documents and allow you to assign a profile to the existing docs. You can also consider to synchronize all your Adobe applications through the bridge Edit > color settings.

    As test try to synchronize your color for North American prepress settings, create a new document, place the file I and export with the output parameters in my first post.

  • Help with unexpected photo color changes when loading

    Hello

    I have learned things for a few years and doing pretty good to the mounting

    photos like portraits.

    Recently edited portrait high key, when I compared the RAW CR2 file in flt along the side of the photos

    converted to psd Adobe, colors where change after the opening and saving to the psd format.

    The thing is that I did no changes.  I just open the raw file, then click Open edit thought go in ele.

    Once it opens as a psd, the colors have changed.

    Camera is set to Adobe RGB.  ELE set to manage colors for printing.

    Is this normal, or something I'm doing or not doing.

    Suggestions and recommendations requested.

    Txz.

    Will be

    I understand that you compare side by side on-screen:

    -l'image in the ACR dialog, without any changes

    -l' new image observed after opening in the editor and saved as psd and reopened in order to be able to compare side by side.

    I agree that you should not see any significant color change.

    Notes about your settings:

    -Camera set to Adobe RGB: good for parameter ignored with raw files, JPEG files (PSE, the choice between sRGB or aRGB ACR depends on the second parameter in the Editor: always optimize for printing). Are not relevant to your problem.

    -Always optimize for printing: refers to the raw data will be converted to aRGB for printing and shown according to your screen. This is the right setting, if you want to print in ARGB.

    So, there's nothing wrong with your settings.

    Y at - it a bad screen color profile saved on your computer? Which could happen with other software or screen attempt calibration tools...

    I can't help much in this situation, but it might be useful you have described the color differences s two views. For better visibility compare colors, beware of the surrounding parts of images: If you're on a light background (ACR) and the other in a dark (editor), you see exactly the same colors.

  • Background color changes when you save a theme

    Just did a new install of Windows 7 Home Premium and has found that, when I save a theme, the background color changes from black (what it was worth) to white. Another thing to note is that when I save the generic theme "Custom Theme" (meaning an unsaved theme) remains, and the background color in the registered theme is changed and does not change when I click on the "custom theme". This is a new installation, so the only software that has been installed is video drivers, network cards drivers, the drivers of the antivirus and sounds. I've used the System File Checker, and he found no problem.

  • Lightroom 3 and CS5 color change when recording to JPEG

    Desperately need help on this one...

    In a nutshell if I use lightroom 3 only and print the images printed images are exactly the same on the screen - so I guess the calbration of the screen is correct.

    If I use lightroom 3 and export to CS5 to continue to make adjustments more when I save the image in jpeg, it seems to have saved well. However if you then maximize the photo in full-screen colors change - radically. Basically, they look aweful. They become quite dull and lose it saturation settings (which were made originally in Lightroom). They print this much too.

    It drives me crazy. I don't think that it has nothing to do with the calibration because it is OK when just using LR3.

    I played with it quite a bit to try to find a solution and have found that if I export for CS5 and Lightroom makes no changes to the photos but just save - she always changes the colors

    Sorry - if it makes a difference... may not, but I have not exported from lightroom for CS5.

    Everything I do is select the right click, click on edit in the > Adobe Photoshop CS5.1...

    Then in CS5 it opens and appears exactly the same as in LR

    From there, I click on file > save under > Jpeg formats and there is an another labeled checked - ICC profile: Prophoto RGB (not really sure what it is and there is no other options to change)

    I tried to show a difference in color by joining the photo.

    Photo right is edited in Lightroom. These colors are what you see when it is maximized on screen and the colors print correctly too. This photo has been open and then in CS5 (photo left) (with LR adjustments) and saved as jpeg and you can see how to change the colors. But you do not see the change unless the screen is completely optimized - and she that prints a lot too.

    I don't know what to do someone had similar problems?

    LR3 and CS5.png

    Yes.  Had something similar last night, but with LR 4.1. I suspect that we each have a color profile mismatch, although I had no time to solve my problem yet.

    My first thought is that the native LR color space is Prophoto default, but PhotoShop must have its 'working color space' specified by the user.  Unless Prophoto is specified in PS, there will be differences in color on a Prophoto image scale (sensitivity) of color-travel will vary from one image to the opening image.

    To change the workspace in PS, pull down the Edit menu and select "color settings".

    Don't forget to check the box to inform you and ask how you want to handle the inadequacy of the color profile.

    As the previous poster said, prophoto is a bad choice for the use of the web.  probbaly the most commonly used color space sRGB is relatively low

    Good luck.

  • How to avoid color changes when I copy and paste between projects?

    Change colors when I copy/paste the logo between open projects, as well in RGB - how to avoid that?

    Other users have solved the problem by clicking on the color chart, select tones and choose "use Lab values... ", but that doesn't change anything for me.

    So it is somehow necessary to export the corresponding shades as well as the logo - and if so, how do I that?

    OK sorry, I was an absolute fool:

    I assumed I was in RGB mode in the receiver project, because the samples were in RGB. But indeed, the project itself has been in CMYK, therefore all the colors of imported logos looked like they were mixed with milk or something...

    Sorry for wasting your time.

  • colors changing when I copy in fireworks cs4 to illustrator cs4

    Hello

    Im having some problems with illustrator, the main problem is that when I move my logo in fireworks by copy - paste, the colors always change to a much darker green #6DAA25, to what it is in illustrator #8CC340. IM pretty new to illustrator, but my guess is, its something to do with Fireworks, not been able to read the file correctly.

    the second problem is that I want the majority of the image of this color #8cc63f, but any time I apply it to something as the text the number will increase to a different number after that I have applied, and then click other where. its not so much a problem as long as the color is slightly different, but I still not understand why illustrator cannot apply this color #8cc63f.

    the weird part is also a part of the text cannot be applied #8CC640 and continues to change to #8CC641, but can the rest of the text, which is separated. Again its not noticeable but boring, that the whole image can be incorrect.

    The last problem im having is that whenever I click on, for example, the Paintbrush and change the size of the stroke, the size of race will automatically change down to 1 pt, when I start using the brush.

    The main problem im having is the first, I can work around the other two, just thought to mention it, wrap it is maybe a bug or it being a popular problem.

    in any case if you can help me o would really appreciate it, thanks.

  • Colors change when exporting Illustrator to Fireworks

    How can I get the colors to stay exactly the same?

    I have a. EPS file designed in Illustrator with gradients, etc.  I do file - export to TIFF, 800 dpi.  I then opened tiff in Fireworks and the colors are slightly different, particularly gradient shading.  How can I get to stay exactly as they were designed as one. EPS Illustrator?

    Has no way of export, or change the color profile in Fireworks, it of a RGB depending on the application and cannot simulate CMYK.

    It has functions of export to save in tiff format but except it has no color management capacity.

    I don't know why you are importing the file have the fireworks in the first place if yu intend to press >

    It is not really sensible as Fireworks is designed for web art?

    Why not just stay with Illustrator and export the file if you want in a tiff or psd file or just leave as an AI fie or save as pdf.

  • Colors change when art PS is put in IT?

    I created a few original art in PS (to be exact, I have 6 PSE) and imported in HAVE (CC 2015), using the basic brushes and swatches.  I pulled the colors from the color chart of shades of Web of PSE.

    But looking at the art now in artificial intelligence, I find that the colors have become somewhat muted and less vivid than they were in PS.  Is it because I used the color chart of shades Web?   If so, what shades PSE can I use to maintain the brightness appropriately when you import into AI?  Thank you very much for the help!

  • Button color change when the user clicks on

    I am a new user of Captivate 9 (no experience Captivate). I have a project with buttons to trigger changes multistate and navigate between slides. In most cases, the buttons change to a red/pink color when clicked. How can I control the style/color of a button when you click it to prevent this? I have the same result with an overview of the project and the published file. Thank you!

    Check the object for the buttons styles (you don't say what kind of button that you use) in the Style of the object (to be found in the preferences) Manager:

    Look for the button type you use (the screenshot is for the default Quiz button, you see there is also a button to default text style, and style to the other type of buttons, all forms have both possible States because they can be used as buttons). Expand the style (by using the triangle) and watch the rollover State. You can change this State, in a low State as well. It's not clear your question if you speak the turnaround or the Down State. It is the States integrated for the buttons. The color you see in the States depends on the theme you use in your project. Each theme has a theme color palette.

    It is normal that a button has these States, why would you want to have the same status for the three: normal, rollover, down? I have published a few articles to CP9, where you will see different types of States of the buttons, here are two links:

    I travel between mountain and Central time zones. When I get the appointment I specify the time zone that the appointment should occur.

Is there some sort to have well positioned BB time and appointments to stay at the right time without moving forward or backward and time?

    It's normal.  When you change the time zone on the device calendar entries will change, too.  If you set a date on the calendar for the hour 17:00 and you change time zones in Central time that entry calendar will increase to 18:00 18:00 central is 17:00 mountain.  The calendar shows always real-time.
