Menu problem of color chart.

My indesign work properly this morning and I quit smoking.  An hour later, I went on it and in the menu color chart, I lost my options down.  In fact, I lost all the options on all of my menus on this side of the screen.  Y at - it a keyboard shortcut, I accidentally hit? He used to be a trash and group option out there. Thanks for your help.

    Open a raster file is mainly the reason why there is no nuance in a file.

    If you want to have shades in a file from the beginning: you must create a new file and then place the raster in her file.

    But you can also simply load or create samples later.

  • changed color chart?

    Hello, I have been using Photoshop CS4 for about 2 years now, but I've NEVER had this problem.

    My color chart colors are now different for some reason any:

    For example: the second darker black color should be #181818, but is now #111111 instead. In ADDITION, red dark used to be #861316, but is now #9e0b0f.

    Gray scale all has changed and is now different values, I DID NOT do anything and I even tried to RESET the menu color SHADES but no luck.

    Also, tried to WINDOW-> workspace-> Web to reset, but I can't go back to the old value.

    I know I USED to have #181818 as my second darker black shades, but NO MORE... Please help!

    What is going on???

    Thank you

    Conversion to a different document profile will change the values (or another workspace if you have defined strategies to convert to open).

  • How to create a camera profile that works with a JPG image with my color chart to check inside? [was: color Checker chart.] Really need help]

    I got a color chart to check. It came not with any software whatsoever. I shoot my images in JPG format. I know it's not really ideal but I'm on a tight budget and don't have the money for a digital SLR cameras that shoot raw. Is there anyway that I can always create a camera profile that works with a JPG image with my color chart to check inside? My table also includes RGB values below each color. Maybe I can match each color in the photo these values manually? If so how is this done?

    Thank you

    Bryce

    I've never seen software that does what you ask for JPGs, only RAWs.  The main problem is that any profile or adjustment is calculated according a JPG of a particular chart photo would apply to the other JPG photos with the same white balance.

    Jpg does not use "camera profiles" anyway in Lightroom, the profile is always integrated.

    There is a product that allows to calculate the HSL cursor offset values given a JPG photo their own table owner who looked like a color checker, but had two lines reversed so the software could not be used with a standard-checker color, unfortunately.  Now their table has twice as many patches (48), and looking at it on their site I'm not too sure that it does not always work with JPGs or if she's just raw files, now.

    The graphic and software are called SpyderCheckr of Datacolor.  There are various software that do different things, but none are using a ColorChecker, so having one is mainly a loss until you get a camera that can take raw photos, so keep a humidity and temperature controlled environment as much as possible until you have the right camera.  You can probably use the grey patches to adjust exposure, but that's all.

    Today you need not a digital SLR to have raw photos, well.  My phone Galaxy S6 with the last update of Marshmallow and the software of camera update will take photos in format raw DNG in Pro mode which I can create custom profiles camera to use a ColorChecker, although the camera is really good in itself, so when I found everything first he could make DNG I took a little but now, I usually just use the camera to make the jpg unless the shot is really important and the lighting is not too hard.  I think that S7 phone's camera is even better.

    What kind of camera do you have?  Sometimes, there are firmware hacks that allow the camera to shoot raw format even if the standard camera cannot.

  • Cannot drag and drop a pattern to the color chart

    I have a PC with Windows 10 so maybe that's part of the problem.

    I've been working with a very detailed model and using the function drag / move in the color chart with no problems.  Then all of a sudden it stopped working.  Any thoughts?  I can drag and drop other items in, but not this model more.  Any thoughts?

    Try and select the object complete, then object > model > done. This can generate a more descriptive error message. Will there be a clipping mask in your work?

    This is a function I wrote to review some documents and draw from their shades. We have a naming system for our color charts and it matches the ID to choose one to add.
    My problem is that it adds the perfectly fine nuances (both the element and the Swatch Library for the current document with the name, id, and the correct information), but then when you add a new shade, it completely ERASES the nuances in the library of the current document, while keeping color on layers.

    Is there something I am doing wrong? It looks like a bug in artificial intelligence more than anything else - why add a completely shade would eliminate my Swatch Library?

    Thank you.

    I don't know if this applies to you, but I have had what seems like a similar problem earlier on a project that copies the nuances between the documents in question.

    The gist of the problem is that when you copy a shade from one document to the other the swatch.color object stores the parent document as a property according to the type of color (IE SpotColor). When you put this swatch.color in a new document or different this property retains its value of document parent and seem to cause issues such as the nuances that disappears or swatches get renamed to "deleted the overall color" because I guess that the parent of shades is linked to another document.

    So, where I orginally had something like the following for all colors:

    var swatchInfo = oldDocRef.swatches.getByName('MyColor');
    var newSwatch = newDocRef.swatches.add();
    newSwatch.color = swatchInfo.color;
    newSwatch.name = swatchInfo.name;
    

    She had to be added differently depending on the type of color:

    var swatchInfo = oldDocRef.swatches.getByName('MyColor');
    switch(swatchInfo.color.typename) {
      case 'CMYKColor':
      var newSwatch = newDocRef.swatches.add();
      newSwatch.color = swatchInfo.color;
      newSwatch.name = swatchInfo.name;
      break;
      case 'SpotColor':
      var newSwatch = newDocRef.spots.add();
      newSwatch.color = swatchInfo.color.spot.color;
      newSwatch.colorType = swatchInfo.color.spot.colorType;
      newSwatch.name = swatchInfo.name;
      break;
    }
    

    So basically if it is a spot color, you need to dig into the subject of color, so you do not copy the parent property. Still not sure if this is your exact problem but maybe a value of a control.

  • Ignore the models and processes of color chart by pushing to table

    How can I go on ignoring process colors and color chart of model when you press shades in a table? So far, I've been able to exclude the swatches by name, but ColorType.CMYK does not seem to do... Here is the excerpt in question...

    //Get Document Swatches 
    
    
    var swatchList = docRef.swatches;
    
    
    var colorList = [];
    
    
    
    
    for(var k=0; k< swatchList.length; k++) {
        if (swatchList[k].name.toLowerCase() != "thru-cut" && swatchList[k].name.toLowerCase() != "[registration]"// 
        && swatchList[k].name.toLowerCase() != "[none]" && swatchList[k].name.toLowerCase() != "cut line" //
        && swatchList[k] != ColorType.CMYK){
           
           colorList.push(swatchList[k].name);
               }
           }
    

    I'm passing on the syntax for ColorType offshore? While I'm there at - it a way to clean this list to make things more easy Add/Remove in the future. Ideally, I think I'd have a table that contains just the color chart to ignore... something like this:

    var ignoredSwatches = ["thru-cut", "[registration]"]
    
    for (var k=0; k<swatchList.length; k++) {
         if swatchList[k].name.toLowerCase() != ignoredSwatches {
              colorList.push(swatchList[k].name);
              }
         }
    

    Thanks in advance, people.

    Ok. I figured out the syntax to ignore certain types of color which is the following:

    &&  swatchList[k].color.typename != "CMYKColor"
    

    the syntax is the same for pattern or RGB colors as well. If this problem is solved.

    does anyone have an idea on how to create a list of color via a table instead of include the variable [index].name.toLowerCase () each time?

    the way I have it works fine, but I can't imagine that this is the right way.

  • InDesign CC 2014 doesn't load saved color chart

    I have some problems with my library of nuances in InDesign. I put a few groups of color with shades in them to load as default and it works very well when creating new documents, however they don't load in previously saved documents and appear not at all.

    I erased the preferences and that did not work ideas either, what it takes to try? I just stay persistent in my library of shades for all documents (the same as the default swatches make for the moment).

    By default the shades don't load already created documents.  If they did, if would be difficult to keep clean Swatch palette. all the colors I didn't need and had deleted would come every time I re-opened.

    You will need to use Load color chart, then choose a document containing the new color chart to import them.

  • Color chart of model move when exported to PDF and read in Preview/GoodReader

    I tried for days find an answer to this issue, but have failed. You should also know that I am a self-taught user Adobe Creative Suite. I'm working on a Mac with CS6.

    I work for a small publisher that produces knitting books. The problem is this: our tech editor has created graphics in Illustrator using the color chart of model function. (These are graphic knit. Each square contains a shade of motif representing the knit stitch).

    I then place these cards in their format native .ai in an Indesign file and exporting to PDF. In Acrobat, the charts look fabulous. In the drive of the preview Mac and GoodReader, tables do this...

    ... the model color chart move around inside their places. Each of these points must be placed inside their places. First, when I resize the application framework, the nuances of the model move I have re-size of the frame. Any ideas on what could happen here?

    I tried to save the graphics as PDF files and putting those in the InDesign file. Does not help. Export diagrams as images (jpg or tif) works, but I need to make ridiculously high resolution/size for the quality of the vector image. I would rather put .ai files in the .indd file if possible.

    Try to use the file > object > expand on a copy of the original before making the PDF for placement.

    I think you misunderstand load swatches command.

    .Acb files that appear dimmed are books of color and they are already installed. Instead of load swatches, use new shade of color, you can choose a book of color in the color Mode menu:

    Color chart of charge is used to load a set of shades from a .ase file saved from an Adobe application or other document of identity.

  • Why does my color chart disappear randomly?

    I have a MAC and use CS4.

    Sometimes, when I use illustrator my color chart is here and easy access, to change the colors or values... blahlblahblah

    Other times I have No color swatches in my window color, and no cursor no bars in the color slider window (no values can be adjusteded / no bar to adjust)

    If I use the menu bar in the box color (top-right) and change the CMYK or RGB colors, I can change the color.

    It's a bit annoying, because I can't understand why this happens.

    I would like to show you guys a screenshot, but like I said it happens to chance...

    When you open an image pixel, PDF or EPS rather than an Illustrator file or rather than create a new file, there will be no shade.

    Here is the information about resetting your Pref.: replace your preferences

    But this probably isn't the problem. Are you sure that the images are really grayscale? What format they are stored in? They may not be colorized to identity card if they are transparent or do not have a background layer.
