• Depth or color not supported mode. Only RGB, CMYK, grayscale, and Bitmap levels are supported?

  Hello. I am trying to replace a string in a CMYK image with a spot color in Illustrator CS6 and photoshop CS6. Change the color, it is quite simple and then saving them as a multichannel DSP. But then it will not be re-issued in Illustrator and I just got the above message. I don't understand why it won't link to. I've done this before with images and are they related in fine illustrator. Am I missing a setting or mode of file somewhere?

  Too bad. I thought about it. Went back to previous files I created and realized that I saved as .eps files. For anyone else having this problem... you can't save a multichannel image as a psd, you have to save to an EPS Photoshop DCS 2.0 then it will very well repeat :-)

• Best way to convert a shadow CMYK, grayscale only in a CMYK image?

  I use Photoshop CS6. I have a CMYK image of fruit on a white background with a shadow that has some cyan, magenta and yellow. The shadow is NOT AN EFFECT. It is part of the original photographed image shot against a white background. I want to turn the shadow in a percentage of black only. I've hidden the fruit so I white background and shadow isolated but now I don't know the best way to make the shadow a percentage of black only. Thanks for any help!

• Problems with the export of PDF to TIFF (a PDF page export also several images in TIFF format)

  Using Acrobat X professional, I'm trying to convert a PDF to multiple page in multiple TIFF files - that is, each page of the PDF file is converted to a TIFF file (for example, a PDF file with 50 pages would cause 50 TIFF).

  I created a remedy so that I can possibly process batches of PDFs. My action in two stages:

  (1) flatten layers

  (2) export all images as TIFF

  -the files are exported to a folder on a network drive

  -file settings are: Monochrome = CCITT G4 / grayscale = LZW / color = LZW

  -color management: RGB = off / off = CMYK / grayscale = off

  -conversion: color space: determine automatically / resolution: 300 pixels/inch

  -extraction: exclude the lower images: no limit

  My PDF is searchable (OCR has been applied). I checked the file to see if it has all the layers - this isn't. The file was created with InDesign.

  Basically, once the action performed there are several exported for each page - TIFF files and when I open the TIFFs they are parts of each PDF page. For example, if a single PDF page has three images on it then three TIFFs are exported for each image instead of a TIFF that is identical to the single PDF page. Then, when I try to treat a PDF with 50 pages that I'm left with is a folder with 150 TIFF files (and not 50 TIFF files - a TIFF for each page of the PDF).

  Here is an example of how files are renamed due to export:

  • HD_08_Issue2_E_Page_02_Image_0001.tif
  • HD_08_Issue2_E_Page_02_Image_0002.tif
  • HD_08_Issue2_E_Page_02_Image_0003.tif
  • HD_08_Issue2_E_Page_02_Image_0004.tif
  • HD_08_Issue2_E_Page_02_Image_0005.tif

  I tried to use the action on a PDF file that had not been OCR'ed and I had no such problem. The only thing I can think is that it is the OCR which is the origin of each page of the file PDF to split into multiple images? The majority of the files that I need to convert PDF to TIFF had applied OCR.

  Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

  In a Save command, you can use the export to TIFF in the output Format.

• Color change (CMYK = 0 0 0 20 to Grayscale K = 22!)

  Hello

  On an empty canvas, in CMYK mode, I create a new fill layer. I fill this layer with a color CMYK = 0 0 0 20. I then check the color with the eyedropper tool. It reads 0 0 0 20.

  I then go to Image > Mode < grayscale and convert the image to CMYK in grayscale mode. I have check the color with the eyedropper tool. He reads K = 22.

  Why are there at - it such a change? I expect K = 20 in grayscale mode. Thank you.

  This is for CS4.

  All mode changes are really profile conversions. You do not change mode - convert you to a specific profile. who can be a RGB profile, a CMYK profile or a profile of shades of gray. In turn, all profile conversions go through a profile Connection Space - usually Lab or CIE XYZ.

  So there is no 'need' to convert laboratory it's just to show you what happens when even under the covers.

  What you end up with specific numbers depends on the profile. In your case, CMYK 0-0-0-20 grey remappe 22. With a different set of profiles, you would get from other numbers.

  There is really no such thing as Picture Mode. It is a conversion profile between whatever profile you have as workspaces.

• New document CMYK shows need to color in grayscale-

  I am a user of life expectancy of Adobe products, always updated to the latest, but a little puzzled by this one... I opened a new document for printing by specifying the CMYK colors and now, when I try to choose a color and apply it to an object it only comes out in grayscale. What I don't understand? as it is a first for me. I looked back in document set up, but I'm missing what ever it is that I cannot view or show color in my document.

• How to make an RGB or CMYK AI file to STAY in color, despite the presence of black?

  I give up. If I presented all lines at all in black to start, no matter how much color needs to go in the illustration, it will be necessary to constantly hit the color/options/RGB or CMYK registration to continue working in color. Complete a curve, join the ends, fill it with red... No, it seems, with the grey wire. Go to the color, poke 'options' Panel, scroll down to RGB. Check. Back to the figure of the curve. Adjust the black line. Fill with... Gray again. Back to color Panel. And so on. Is it possible to declare an image "RGB" or even "CMYK" and make it stick? I mean, same CMYK? What Black INCLUDES? And you, CMYK? I tried Document Setup-did not have a difference.

  The only solution I can think, after all this, is to dump black entirely and start all the drawings with lines of red, blue, green or dark blood. Does anyone have a better solution?

  If you select your line, not the K 100% color panel shows?

  Then, you work with the grayscale option.

  Select a line, choose: select > same outline color.

  Go to the Options of the color Panel and switch to CMYK.

• I can't found the way to convert to CMYK in Photoshop element 14

  Hello!

  I have Photoshop elements 14 and I would like to convert a CMYK image (to keep the colors of the coil in the printing industry).

  I have only the following modes

  I have photo /Mode/ and I found these choices:

  Bitmap or grayscale or indexed color or RGB colors and only in 8-bit levels.

  How could I do?

  Thanks for replying to me.

  You do not, because he was never present in the elements, only in Photoshop.

  And you're wrong, CMYK (CMYK) is only required for offset professional or similar, in this case, only the printer can provide an accurate conversion for its inks and papers.

  The CMYK mode is much more limited in color that the RGB mode used by your camera and display. Your printer at home and print more online services require RGB (sRGB or aRGVB) for very good reasons.

• HTML in PDF format ready to print with the CMYK color conversion

  How can I convert a webpage (html) as a PDF ready to print, including a RGB to CMYK conversion?

  I use a free trial of Acrobat DC. What I tried, is to use the browser button to convert HTML to PDF. I then open the document and go to the menu "Print Production. I expected to find the option "Convert colors", but he's not here. Help documentation indicates that this option is available only if you export your PDF file to a device "high-end". What is a high-end device? I use my laptop.

  (1) under the Production of printing tools, in the right pane, you will find the convert colors tool. That's what you're looking for. Its availability has nothing to do with what type of device you send the PDF file.

  (2) that said, converting the PDF to CMYK color space is not necessarily required to print. You certainly can print an RGB and/or the PDF to grayscale for a local or network PostScript laser printer, for example. What makes you think that you absolutely need CMYK for printing any other type? Each RIP/DFE these days can directly manipulate the RGB content.

• How can I get a CMYK or Gray scale halftone and replace it with a spot color with the same value of midtones?

  Is it possible that I can select an object or objects that have a value of mixed CMYK or Grayscale, and then select a Spot color and it will keep the same value of midtones as before?

  For example, I have an object that is C: 0 M: 0 Y: 0 k: 20 and I select Reflex Blue. What is happening is it change my object to 100% Reflex Blue. Is there a way to change to automaitically Reflex Blue 20%?

  Another example, I have 3 objects, one is 20 k: the second is 40 k: and the third is KC: 85. I want to select all the objects in three at the same time, select Yellow PANTONE and get them to change yellow PANTONE 20, 40 yellow PANTONE and PANTONE yellow 85.

  Is there a way to do it or I will always have to manually edit each element?

  Thanks for the help.

  I love clicking this button under the entitlement, one place for everything that you color reduction settings.

  

  Use tinted scale. Exact will give you 100% of the color. The exact word is confusing here, this means that the color of the destination (100% of everything that the color you choose), not a version tinged scale.

  

  Unfortunately I do not know how to get the exact values of blacks to convert the exact values of spot color. Scale of hues will you get you get you close enough for what you need. In my example that a black 89% converts a 84% of the place, so no exact but alteast I have a range of shades, and sometimes the results are better than accurate, depends on your art.

  Here are my before and after.

  

• How to paint accurate grayscale between 0-254 in an alpha or a grayscale image? Seems impossible... Work at 5.5... not in CC. Bug?

  So, here's the thing. I have to be able to assign precise shades of gray in an alpha channel, that our code takes the value (between 0-244) and uses it to do its thing. I assumed it would be easy... Simply choose your color and paint... but not so much.

  In an alpha channel, or even in a grayscale image, make a selection and fill it with RGB 6,6,6.  Since it does not seem to be a way to get a range of gray tones or the entry for Alpha value is th eonly way I can see of the to do.

  Now, use the Info Panel, check that it is indeed RGB 6,6,6.  This is the case.

  Now make another choice and fill it with RGB 7,7,7.  Check this box with the info panel and... its 6,6,6.

  OK so now use or brightness levels to try to change this until 7,7,7 6,6,6... check with the eyedropper color sampling tool.

  What awaits you is what the RGB value of 6,6,6... 8,8,8 at the 10.10.10, it is impossible to make 7,7,7 or 9,9,9. Theres a bunch of other values that are also impossible.

  If you do the above in one of the RGB channels if it will work fine... It's just the Alpha and a grayscale image.

  On the same vein, on a normal layer, fill an area with you RGB 7,7,7, copy it and paste it into your alpha.  Sounds great... until you use levels to increase the contrast and you find that what has been 7,7,7 is now a mixture of noise filled, I suppose, 6,6,6 and 8,8,8.

  (NB. as a note that the foregoing also happened in CS5 but in an old version of Photoshop 5.5, it works perfectly...) I can give the 7,7,7 RGB and the value that is painted is 7,7,7. Put in CC and its fine. If it's just the creation of tones in DC that does not.

  In addition, it works fine if you change the individual RGB layers... you can get 6,6,6 AND 7,7,7... but as soon as you copy and paste it into the alpha. .the 7,7,7 found 6,6,6)

  Then

  1st QUARTER... What am I doing wrong?

  Q2... If alpha 8-bit and grayscale images can take on values ranging from 0-254... So how to set the value I want actually?  I can't use the value of K, because it's only a percentage is less than levels and is not a separate entry for the alpha value.

  Q3... or more simply... How to set the value of gray for a number in particular, for example. 7

  Thank you.

  Ok. so with the very patient help of Chris Cox, I understand vaguly what is happening and why.

  I presume its because PS is set up for printing, but the problem is caused by the inadequacy of the RGB and gray profiles workspace in the color settings.

  The default value is

  RGB: sRGB IEC61966 - 2.1

  CMYK: U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) V2

  Gray: Dot Gain 20%

  Spot: Dot Gain 20%

  This gray value is not the same gamma as sRGB IEC61966 - 2.1 which is put in place only 2.20. Because conversion occurs when EACH color space conversion, painting in greyscale alpha channel with and the brush color RGB is forced to change the RGB 7,7,7 to a gamma of 2.2 to grayscale to... is worth what ever gamma dot gain20%. What result sin two different values.

  SO the solution is to change the gray value to the same as the value of gamma RGB...

  Gray: Gray Gamma 2.2

  
  

  So, it works!

• Levels of gray to CMYK conversion issue?

  Hi, I have a print job that is currently using a tiff in grayscale for black printing.

  My problem is that I need to add a spot color. When I convert tiff CMYK it splits values among all 4 channels.

  Does anyone know how convert a grayscale in CMYK tiff file, but keep the black of the gray-scale right on the K channel.

  Or I can flatten the CMYK channels and get them on the K only.

  Any suggestion would be appreciated

  Antony

  I'm not sure that's what you're after, but consider this:

  Choose Edition > color settings > CMYK > Custom > Black generation > maximum

  When you change the Mode of the b & w tiff CMYK image will deliver in K

  

  Return to your normal configuration when the project is complete, so that future work will not be affected.

• The gray image - save as pdf - CMYK

  Hi all

  I am trying to convert the gray image to grayscale pdf with Save as option. Once done the procedure, the pdf file after CMYK mode (verified in print in Acrobat production method) below.

  Guide to, how to clear this problem.

  Original image:

  

  Step 1: converted to gray

  

  Step 2: Save as pdf with few options

  

  Step 3: setting of pdf

  

  Step 4: Verify in acrobat, this occurs for the CMYK mode

  

  But I need grayscale mode (only for black. (Black once only wide, no need to display the image).

  In my test, using shades of gray and high print quality, the PDF file contains a gray scale,

  not a CMYK image, found by PDF analysis, image on the right.

  IMO, your test is bad. Your PDF file is grayscale, but the profile of your simulation is

  a CMYK profile, as in the image on the left.

  In such a case, a conversion is simulated. It would be correct to use a grey profile

  as a simulation profile, but this type of test does not reveal what kind of image the

  PDF file contains.

• InDesign and grayscale

  When I put the images in grayscale in InDesign, then check the separations preview, they became CMYK. How can I fix? I do a newsletter for a community group that they print themselves from a pdf that I give them. It has front and back pages, but in black and white for a cost reasons. How do I keep these pages without a dominant grayscale, color that makes the machine consider pages in color? Any help would be appreciated!

  If you are really seeing the CMY values, check the links Panel and make sure that the mode of the image really is grayscale. The image might look like grayscale, but be another color space. Also if there is transparency on the page make sure that your mix of transparent CMYK, a merger of the RGB space converting a gray in 4 colors
