Need good resources to learn the separation of colors in Photoshop

Can someone recommend a good resource to learn in detail the separation of colors in Photoshop.

Specifically RGB to CMYK file conversion best practices.

With modern color management, it's much simpler than it used to be (and is usually much better, just check the colors of the 80s and 90s reproductions).

It is not done by numbers more. You get the good CMYK profile for the actual process, test to verify the clipping and then convert them to the end. All the necessary settings are integrated into the profile and things like total ink limit and so on are more a matter of concern.

The profile must be provided by the printer. Offset presses are usually standardized in Europe mainly in the ISO 12647-2 standard, elsewhere in the world, other standards apply. This means that you can often use standard CMYK profiles. But you should know that one.

  • Resources to learn the XML DB

    Hello guys,.

    For some time now, I have tried to learn XML DB features, but has never managed to grasp the concepts.

    Currently, I'm reading and trying to understand 10.2 DB XML but still unable to understand. I understand that I am completely confused, probably a lot more thought into the internal understanding of XML processing. Therefore, I was wondering if someone could help me with basic tutorials/articles that will help me to start with a begineer level and I can then go to the Documentation to better understand.

    Well, let's first - become familiar with SQL * Plus - Oracle standard tool. Maybe it's a little 1980
    but it will be available on absolutely every system you use. As long as a student, I don't think you
    have a lot of money to spend on tools - so download Oracle's SQL developer tool (free)
    and experiment with it.

    On your own systems, there are already scripts - do (presumably in Unix - if Windows, use the search)
    Tool) - $ORACLE_HOME do you find. -name "*.sql" and watch the rdbms/admin scripts. In addition,
    There are a few free libraries available.

  • How files and the appropriate label color PMS separate for screen printing

    Hello

    I have to present a document Illustrator for a silkscreen t-shirt and instructions ask that I have "label own PMS color you expect the ink on the finished design." I don't know what that means, and even less how to do it. I googled and it seems to have something to do with the Pantone colours, but I couldn't find how to do this. The design is all one color, so I hope it helps me! In addition, it requires separate Illustrator files. I know this means separate into layers, but it does not design in layers. If I submit to the eps format does it matter that it's all in a single layer?

    Could someone please help me with some details on this?

    Thanks for any help you can offer.

    Mary

    .. .the instructions ask that «label own PMS colours...» I don't know what that means...

    This is an example of so-called 'experts' in the various industries of printing using inaccurate terminology that confuses potential customers, even when they are ostensibly trying to provide instruction.

    PMS stands for Pantone Matching System. PANTONE is a company that produces for commercial offset printing inks, and who publishes books swatch for these inks and color specifications. Because it has long been the player prevailing in this market for a very long before the general public graphic computers, he took the habit as a sort of de facto "standard" transmission of the colors you want. But isn't the only such system Pantone.

    To my knowledge, Pantone does not even produce screen printing inks (which are more like a painting, really). When people throw around the 'PMS' and 'Pantone' words like that, they often reveal their own misunderstanding of what really is Pantone. In all likelihood, the silkscreen that you use think Pantone Matching System is a kind of a standard universal color. They will most likely find the Pantone color number give you them, then either look at a reference or simply manually mix their screen printing inks for a match.

    ... I googled and it seems to have something to do with the Pantone colours, but I couldn't find how do...

    In most screen printing, your concern is to use spot colors in your design rather than process colors. PANTONE product specifications of colors for fairer inks spot. It produces references to the four-color, metallic inks and even fluorescent inks and inks. Different Pantone standards are represented in Illustrator as 'Libraries of nuances', which are accessible via the drop down Swatch palette menu.

    You can set any Color Swatch you use Illustrator as a spot color. When you do so, all this means is that, when the file is printed as color separations, each spot color is printed on its own plate of separation. "Plate" is a throwback term that refers to the plate on which are the images for individual inks in commercial offset printing. Silkscreen, a separate screen is built to carry the image for each ink used in the design.

    You can also name any Spot color swatch you define, using any name you want. The name has no functional effect on the printed result. Each plate separation of color is a black image, regardless. The actual color is determined by the actual ink that is loaded in the press (or serigraphy) when it is printed. That's why, when you are working in a program such as Illustrator for a project to print, you should not think in terms of inks, in terms of colors.

    For example: you can define a Spot color swatch in Illustrator. It can be set to display any color you want. You don't want to, of course, but in the interest of explanation, assume that you set the Spot color swatch to display in Illustrator as a green color. Then, you name than Swatch "Pantone 185", which is actually a red. If you now print the file as color separations to a PostScript printer (or "print" to PDF separate colors), everything to which you applied the named Swatch "Pantone 185" will be printed on a single sheet (or page PDF).» This sheet contains a picture in black and will be titled "Pantone 185.

    Actually, when you work with a local display store, I usually create tones color chart, and references to name them not according to Pantone (or other), but in the name of the actual brand of screen inks that will use the screen shop.

    So, really, your screen printer is just requiring you to build your design using a limited number of color swatches, with each defined as a spot color. He's still implying that you must name your swatches Spot according to the numbers of colors in the Pantone Matching System, simply because it is the library for the most familiar to designers color naming.

    The easiest way to do so is, for every ink that you want to print on the T-shirt:

    1. go in the Swatches palette flyout menu.

    2. select open Swatch Library > color books > Pantone Solid Coated (or solid Pantone unpaved; it isn't really very important to screen printing).

    3 scroll through the list and select the color you want. It will be added to the list of the nuances of your document.

    The design is all one color, so I hope it helps me.

    As someone else said, because your design is one color, you could simply design using the black one and then tell the silkscreen what color ink to use. But there are some caveats.

    You must print the as a composite file (normal, full color), not as separations. It is because if you simply use a shade that appears black on your screen, that swatch 'black' may in fact be built on a combination of RGB or CMYK values (depending on the colors in your document). To print separations colors can not result in a solid black on the black plate image. It goes same for design tips by using just one color. If you want the ink to be red, and you want to design using red, then red Swatch must be defined as a spot color. Otherwise, print as red as separations or composite will not give a solid black image.

    In addition, it requires separate Illustrator files.

    Once again, unclear. There is no such thing as a "separate Illustrator file." Any Illustrator file can be printed (or saved as PDF) as a color-separations. Once again, that the printer must be clear here, it is that you build your Illustrator file so that it can be printed as separations, with each split corresponding to an ink that is responsible in his silkscreens. In practice, this means just be sure to use only the color tones in your work.

    Yet once, this illustrates the fact that a technician working in a particular printing environment can be 'expert' in his shop, is not because he know didly on the software and the workflow used on the design front.

    For stores of the most banal local screen, the safest way to prepare an Illustrator file, which leaves nothing to question is:

    1. make sure you know how much different inks are used for printing design. (Don't forget: think inks; not "color".)

    2 build your design using nothing but the Spot color swatches and a Swatch for each ink. Do not use any process of nuances. In fact, recommended is to remove all the nuances that are not actually used in your design.

    3 ' print' an Illustrator, Adobe PDF document as "printer." (I think that you need to have Adobe Acrobat installed in order to view a selection of the printer Adobe PDF.) I don't know, because I am never without Acrobat Professional.) In the output of the print dialog pane, specify separations, not composite.

    This will result in a PDF file that contains a separate page for each ink. The image on each page will be black. That's exactly what the screen printing needs to print to 'positive film' (which nowadays are often translucent paper, not film) which it will use as masks then "burn" his screens.

    ... I know this means separate into layers, but I did not design it in layers...

    Do not confuse with layers color separation. They are totally independent functions. Layers is just a way to organize objects that you create in your file. Color separation is a print function. It occurs when you print to a device which includes the separation of colors (e.g.: a PostScript device) or when you export to a PDF of the color separation, as described above.

    It is a common misconception (miss-hypothesis) among beginners. Programs such as Illustrator may help you design with every object that is colored with ink of separation including residence in a layer that is dedicated to this particular ink, it would be absurd debilitating. Again, the layers is just a "fork" of the stack of objects in your file. These objects can be in any order on any number of layers and stacking. This has nothing to do with printing on color separations. (Stacking order comes into play when overprinting is involved, but even this does not yet require layers correspond to the inks of separation.)

    If I submit to the eps format does it matter that it's all in a single layer?

    EPS does not help. Think EPS is nothing but a file format that puts the contents of your Illustrator file in a 'black box' so that it can be "passed through" to the printer by programs that do not understand PostScript. If the content of your Illustrator file is built to target printing method, it will be the content of the EPS. Today, the PDF is more flexible and easier to work with than BPA anyway.

    You don't want to think in terms of migration when it comes to Adobe software.  You must install using installation files.  There is no need to have installed CS5 unless you plan to use it.  There is no way to upgrade of CS5 at CC, there is a reduced plan should soon be interrupted.  You get the first annual subscription for almost half of the normal price.

  • This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system (Code 12)

    Guys, I have a problem. So, my laptop has 2 graphics cards, an integrated course of the Intel HD graphics (which works perfectly) and the other being the dedicated Nvidia graphics (Nvidia GeForce 940 m). Until 2 days ago, everything was going well and running.

    I have the application experience GeForce and it prompted me that there is a new driver update should I download. He started to install then after rebooting to complete the installation, it failed. I checked my device manager and saw a yellow exclamation under under my Nvidia graphics card (remember, my laptop has two graphics cards: Nvidia graphics card and Intel HD graphics that works correctly). I immediately checked the details, and he said:

    "This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12) »

    "If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system."

    This seemed very strange, because it was LITERALLY working properly before I was invited about update driver I got, so I don't know what to do - as a matter of fact, literally, I finished this game, Deadpool, with my Nvidia card that I put as the default graphics card, a few hours before , so I don't know why this happened. Any help? I'm looking for a logical answer to this, guys!

    Additional information:

    A few days before this happened, I went to my store local pc and installed an extra 4 gigs of ram on my 4 existing to make 8. Don't know if it's useful, but anyway

    If I pick up my laptop and shake it side by side, I hear a slight rattling noise, and it seems a little loose (I found this out after seeing the error message). The noise seems to come from just below the middle of my keyboard (I'm using a laptop). If for some reason, my Nvidia card is loose? Is this possible?

    I am quite technologically inclined, but not to the extent of removing components and reconstruction cell phones / pc and access the bios and what not. I can only remove/add ram.

    I want to know if its something I am able to fix it because I do not necessarily want to go running and sending my laptop places - only my pc up shop.

    Here is the location of my Nvidia card: PCI Slot 4 (PCI bus 4, device 0, function 0)

    My specs:

    Acer TravelMate p257-MG

    Windows 7 business

    Intel core i5-5200u 2.20 GHz 2.20 Ghz processor

    8.00 GB of ram

    64-bit operating system

    1 t hard drive

    940 m Intel HD graphics 5500 & Nvidia Geforce card

    Just to recap, I get the error on my Nvidia graphics card code, "this device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12) ""If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system. »

    Thanks in advance!
