• Fireworks / Photoshop color question

  Hey guys,.

  Was a real problem with Fireworks / Photoshop CS3 color compatibility for a while but you are looking at it nip in the bud now. Tried everywhere to find a solution, but came here to get an answer once and for all.

  Basically when edit pictures in Photoshop and then open them in Fireworks to put in place a Png for a Flash developer to work from, I get a noticeable color difference that I can't do anything about.

  I then manually adjust the color in Fireworks and aligned by eye. Very frustrating work indeed, as I have many of them to do.

  I wonder is there a setting I can adjust so everything can go simple sailing for me and I have no problem of color more? Should I upgrade to CS5?

  It happens with all the formats PNG, JPEG and GIF etc etc.

  Thank you very much

  Chris

  

  Simply, you said that you get the same results when registering for the Web in Photoshop, so without worrying about the software, you get the same result.

  The files you work on PS use the CMYK color space? If they are, that will also affect the final result that everything must be in RGB color for web graphics space. Fireworks will convert CMYK to RGB and things will change.

  What is the configuration of your proof to the PS? It's probably his game working CMYK and you also have test activated colors.

  You can change this to Internet Standard (sRGB) by going to view > test format. It will not change the appearance of things for another artist, but he should bring things online for you.

  In addition the fact that no two monitors will make the colors and exactly the same brightness. Type of monitor, his age, how long it has been running and minimum - if - monitor calibration practically guaranteed that what you see is exactly what someone sees on their screen.

• The operation of the Photoshop color management

  Hey guys!

  I spent some time, research and try to understand the inner workings of the Photoshop color management and met much information unclear and contradictory, especially in what concerns the test format. I think I thought that some of them out, but (for ease of my sleep) I thought to ask direct questions, just to be sure. I guess it's more of a curiosity thing.

  I'm on a Mac OS X 10.8, Photoshop CS6, monitor calibrated from the standard range, working in sRGB for the web.

  (1) what I have gathered, to get a specific color as possible on my screen, all I have to do is the workspace sRGB or have images with embeded sRGB tag and including my calibrated monitor profile ICC loaded in OS X. In this way, all the images and colors in Photoshop will respect sRGB and my calibration profile will ensure that my monitor is in fact the correct sRGB color display (for as long as it's still capability). Fix?

  (2) I have met many 'practical advice' where people mention using the format of test > Monitor RGB as a way to monitor the colors for the web and then I saw people saying that's not true. As I understand it, the function of monitor RGB strips the tag embeded and does not take into account the workspace of the image, instead showing you the RGB values in the 'native' of the screen color space, which in my case would be sRGB-ish. Photoshop color management, but not the profile of calibration of displayaround a bit. Fix?

  (3) when the viewing a tag image sRGB, activating / disabling the test format: RGB Monitor on and outside has absolutely no effect. Am I right to assume that this is because the sRGB tag is getting 'off', but since the monitor is standard gamut, the native color space is always sRGB?

  What I find weird is when I change the display profile in OS X to my only calibrated for, for example, a generic RGB, activating / disabling the test format: Monitor RGB effect - changes in brightness of picture visibly. If my above hypothesis was correct, it shouldn't happen, right? Where my confusion.

  Thank you!

  Many people overcomplicate it. It's actually very simple.

  1 Photoshop converts on the fly from the document on the monitor profile profile. As long as the monitor profile is an accurate description of the screen, it shows correctly regardless of the original document profile. That's the whole point of the color management, translation of one color space to another aspect/goal of maintaining.

  There is no particular reason to work in sRGB just because your monitor is (or close). However, you will not see directly the colors in the file that are outside of the monitor range.

  2. waterproofing to Monitor RGB is a quick test to see how the image appears without any color at all management. I guess it could be useful in some cases, when you need consistency to accuracy. Other than that, it is completely useless, that it shows what it looks like on your system. And anyway, there is no reason today not to use fully color managed browsers.

  3. Waterproofing is an extra turn to the conversion mentioned above. The point is to limit the range to test the profile, so that you can see this cutting will do to the image. It will documents profile > profile proof > monitor profile. If the profile of evidence has a range equal to or greater than the monitor profile, you will see no difference.

  Important point to keep in mind: If the profile source and destination are the same, no conversion happens and color management is by definition disabled or disabled.

  The first part of the string of audit, document evidence, may be a "convert" or "assignment". Convert maintains appearance, while assign run numbers, but changes its appearance. It's the checkbox 'Keep the numbers' in the proof Setup dialog box.

• Working with Illustrator and Photoshop-small question

  Hello, I am working on a 16. "x 21.5" printed for a class as a final note.  I think I already know the answer to that, but I really need to be sure.  I mainly work in Adobe Illustrator, trying to get a look simple but complex vector for my room and lets just say he quickly became real complex.  I am currently working on 1 impression of 2 and I do traces of image of a batch of raster images I did for this project.  It's all in color, so there are probably thousands of separate objects now, so of course Illustrator starts to slow down a little (lag a bit on mine and almost always a stand on any computer in the school).  I have just a few details to work out, so I can deal with the LAG, but I fear that if the printing process can take some time (there are other students who need to print of course).  I thought to put all my objects and layers in Photoshop and flatten the image to we hope to facilitate things on printers.  So here's my question: do I put the image in Photoshop and flatten out it, the draw would still have this nice clean edge of a vector image?  This is probably a stupid question, I know, normally, I would ask the teacher however it is not the best with computers.  It's my last, I just need to be 100% sure.  If this wont work, I need to find a way to make smoother Illustrator with my detailed image.  Thanks for the help.

  If you bring your Illustrator art into Photoshop and flatten it, your art is now not vectorized pixels. So technically Yes, you'll lose some of the edge of pleasant eigenvector. BUT, given your situation, the fact that this printing to a printer from school, your solution is good. The quality loss will be imperceptible to most and will certainly save you headaches of printing possible. Follow these steps.

  (1) create a new Photoshop document to the same size print as your Illustrator document.

  (2) set the resolution to 300 dpi (this will be more than a resolution high enough to maintain the appearance of cutting edge of vector)

  (3) make sure that the (RGB or CMYK) color space is the same as you have used for Illustrator. Make sure that the icc profile is the same too.

  (4) place the Illustrator art in the Photoshop document.

  (5) save the file in TIFF, without diapers

• Develop module, 1:1 and export don't look the same, color questions

  Hello world

  I use the latest version of Lightroom (3.6 if I'm not mistaken) and I am facing a problem very uncomfortable with the develop module.

  I adjusted with precision each luminance of the color and saturation, so it looks pretty good in the preview to develop (made to fit) and did an export...

  The preview that I worked on and export just don't look the same.

  I work with files my DSLR digital D3100 from NIKON on an OSX Mac NAVE 10.7 MBP.

  This may be the external display profile is not properly adjusted because I looked at all the images on the same screen.

  I unchecked all boxes from the preset in the settings window tab.

  Here are some screenshots and exports.

  Good look in the module development (left) and the actual export of the same photo (right)

  

  Please note that I have not activated an option for correction of lens and adjusted any color. This is the RAW file and its direct export.

  Screenshot of the preview window on the noise correction options (left) and the same area once as I zoomed in the main view (right)

  

  I hope this can be fixed or I'm doing something wrong.

  A few days before today I used Camera RAW of PS CS5 to correct my NAVE and maintaining only to exports to JPEG. I decided to use LR 3 on my entire workflow and I'm skeptical...

  Ah yes and please forget all mystake alone in my post, I'm a french student.

  Thank you!

  EDIT: I can meet any required file or the screenshot if necessary. I have a few other photos with the same problem (lots of those indeed...)

  EDIT 2: I found the image has made many more colors acurate (relative to export ones) in the library preview module (magnifying glass I guess)

  The previews in the library are are on JPEGs in a smaller color space.

  adobeRGB. Not in prophotoRGB, which is space (with linear gamma, but which)

  is a detail) used to develop. To make the point, you see the more accurate color

  in general, but you must be aware that not all destinations can actually

  reproduce these colors. There is also still the color noise reduction

  question, you can only see to develop at the 1:1. In the library, because it is

  made a jpeg file, the color noise reduction is applied at each zoom

  level images etc. like this, which tends to desaturate the colors. My guess

  is that this is probably a problem of range. You can check receives in

  Photoshop for adobeRGB profile. The orange on the trees is probably

  always out of gamut.

  That said, how do you calibrate? You should use a Spyder, Huey Pro,

  i1Display, Colormunki or similar to calibrate the screen if you want to

  believe what you see.

• Task of coloring / questions preview overprinting

  Hello all, I have this project t-shirts I work what was supposed to be transformed spot to be silkscreened on t-shirts.  I'm still fairly new to Illustrator and really know nothing about printing, so I need help. the image is CMYK, a lot of oranges/reds/Browns for an association local firemans.  I've already found how to change the colors > Recolor with preset > selected pantone coated colors solid and played with all the colors to get as close to the original as I could.  It started as 26 colors and I got up to 6 tones with success.  I am satisfied with the way it looks on the stage.  Now I come to a few questions... in the "Separations Preview" Panel, I have hidden from view of all CMYK channels and left visible 6 all pantone colors.  Image looks like much.  But when I check the box 'overview of overprinting', the image turns to crap... why? Now, I tried to research exactly what the "overprint Preview" means, and from my limited knowledge, I understand that it is in the sense of transparency that the layers of ink to print.  If someone has an easier explanation, feel free to explain.  So I guess my questions are, why is there such a big difference with the overprint preview? If I send the image to get prints, which will be printed, the bad or the good version overprint preview version? and finally, if I continue to edit the original and keep control of the overprint Preview until it looks good, what is the best way to do it without a blind guess and check? Thanks in advance, after I spent time playing with all colors until he waits just to the right, that my heart sank after that I clicked on the overprint preview...

  I really like how the "overprint Preview" looks now so hopefully that's not spoil anything.

  Overview of overprinting is just a display setting. It won't spoil anything, but in a screen printing environment, your misunderstanding of it certainly will.

  Overview of overprinting is trying to simulate on-screen the printed results of overprinting fills and lines assuming that translucent CMYK process inks. It does not simulate the results of overprinting of the opaque , like those commonly used in four-color silkscreen inks.

  Example: It is a common practice in screen printing for:

  1. print a solid black ink,

  2. "flash" (partially dry) it.

  3-overprint a lighter solid color.

  For example, imagine a picture of a dinosaur printed on a black T-shirt. The body of the dino is printed in dark green ink. The leathery texture to hide the Dino is rendered by printing an average green ink on top of the dark. A lighter yet (greenish yellow) ink is printed on top of that, for highlights.

  That kind of accumulation is more akin to painting on a canvas with opaque paints (oil or acrylic) what whether associated to CMYK process in advertising offset press room. Overview of the feature has no Illustrator overprint simulate. In this image, preview overprinting of the Illustrator inks overlapping areas would be displayed as more and more darker, not lighter.

  So you deceive yourself with results potentially job-demolition if you rely on overview of the overlay as an indication of what the printed results will look like in a screen printing environment. Then, turn the power off. Learn what overprint means in fact regarding the separation plates.

  Above is of the major reasons why many stores print screen use Photoshop to build up their work. Multi-Sondage-channel Photoshop files can properly simulate real results of overprinting of opaque inks, because the interface allows you to set the opacity of the inksis expected.

  At design time, do not think that "color". Think inks.

• Photoshop color settings problem

  I have an unusual problem with the color settings in Photoshop at the moment and need help setting/calibration of colors in Photoshop.  Attached are 2 images of the question.  Basically, the question is that the recorded files look quite different from what they were when doing in Photoshop.  However, if I take this picture in Photoshop, it looks right again, so the question is obviously inside Photoshop.

  

  On the top is a screenshot of splitting the saved file as displayed in a web browser, the default value (half of the image on the left), then a screenshot of the same image as it appears in Photoshop (right half).  The image on the bottom is the same screenshot of the two visible at the same time with the same screen cap program.  As mentioned earlier, if I take the cap of the display of the image in the web browser, and then open in Photoshop, it corresponds to the original very well.  I have messed around with (shift + ctrl + K) color settings, but could not do anything remotely as I see outside of Photoshop.  Anyone has any ideas on what I need to tweak to make the color/contrast/saturation/whatever Photoshop look more like what we see in the web browser while I'm working on a project?

  I am currently using Photoshop CS4 with the latest updates.  Thanks for any help!

  It looks like your browser and Photoshop are displaying the same image in different color spaces.

  You should know in what color space the image is displayed in each program.

  You don't say anything about your browser, so I can't say but in Photoshop, the color of an image space is obtained in the following order of priority:
  1. from choice in the menu Format to test when the test colors is enabled.
  2. when the test colors is disabled, the embedded profile.
  3. when the test colors is off and when the image is without a color profile (unidentified) of the color selected in the color settings workspace.

  This image shows how to check the color of the image profile.

  

  What happens when you choose View > proof colors, then display > test format > Monitor RGB? Is the browser the image in Photoshop?

• CW3D chart fill color question

  Hello

  When I use CW3DGraphLib_CWPlot3DSetFillColor on a lot that I created in the IUR, everything is OK apart that the value of blue is actually red and vice versa with the red color value.

  When I add a new path using CW3DGraphLib_CWPlots3DAdd and then change color with CW3DGraphLib_CWPlot3DSetFillColor the color displayed is not the same when I put the same color value to the plot that I created in the IUR.

  Worse still, it is not possible to set the color in white or black. RED, GREEN and BLUE have the same value, the result is always gray.

  What I did wrong?

  Please find attached a test program that demonstrates this behavior.

  Bertrand

  Hi Bertrand,.

  I found the other setting, you need to change to get the fill colors to look right.  When you create a new path, the new path takes the properties of the PlotTemplate object.  In this case, the default PlotTemplate object has the property ColorMapStyle the value "1 - cwShaded" by default.  If you change this "0 - cwNone ', the behavior will be the same as your other parcel of land.  Please let me know if you have any questions!

• HP OfficeJet 4635: HP OfficeJet 4635 printing faces of the Photoshop color photos are reddish

  When you print a photo using Adobe Photoshop, the faces are printed reddish and all the color is darker with funny looking lines throughout the picture.  I tried printing HP and Scan Dr.  It is said that everything is fine.

  Yes, I use HP cartridges, ink is 3/4 full, diagnosis always say nothing is wrong.

  I remove the black cartridge, the vertical lines are now gone.  The color is always a little too red.  I'll try to change the coloring in Photoshop.

  Thank you very much for your help!

• print in color questions after changing cartridges

  My Deskjet 1000 J110 printer do not print in color, after that I replaced the cartridges with original HP cartridges.

  It prints black, but no color. I tried 2 HP 61/color cartridges, so far, but without success in everything except black.  I also made several attempts to "ask a question", only to have the search engine telling me "no one else has asked your question. I also spent a lot of time reading threads in the hope to come across a solution, but without success.  Can you help me, please?  I use the printer on a HP Pavillion G6 series laptop that I just bought the last sale online from HP, less than 4 months... The OS is Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1.

  In this page troubleshooting steps can help solve the problem.  The diagnosis in Solution 6 page shows the color?  If so, the question is probably in the driver or its settings.

  If the color does not print in the diagnosis page then the document here may help.

• For Web site designs Photoshop color settings

  Hello

  Can someone explain the right way to set up photoshop documents so that the color of exported goods (jpg, etc.) is the same in web browsers?

  Also, it would be useful that the files Photoshop would look very narrow Color (while he was working on designs and models) to the final exported goods.

  Thank you!

  You will never get a complete agreement between browsers. Some are correctly (Firefox) color management, others to halfway (Safari, Chrome) and others not at all (IE, Edge). These, in no circumstances, will not show identically.

  Firefox is the browser fully managed alone, and it will perfectly match Photoshop. They reasonand all the other bad.

  In brief - convert your sRGB file, add the profile, actually. The rest is out of your hands (and when you think about it, not really your problem anyway).

• Photoshop colors are more saturated than the recorded files

  I use Photoshop CC 2015 free trial on Windows 10.  I edit my pictures, how I wish, but when I save and view them without photoshop, the colors have changed: they are less saturated and more yellow.  When I bring them in photoshop on that color back how I initially edited.  This was never a problem for me before - I usually use Photoshop 7.0, but even if it does not work at the moment.  Is this a problem with how I save my files? Or a problem with the Windows Photo Viewer?

  Hello

  Well it is because of the difference in the color profile.

  You need to calibrate your machine.

  Also, here's how you can check.

  Open PS

  Click on Edit - > color settings

  

  Your other software can have the sRGB profile and photoshop can have ProPhotoRGB.

  You can try changing the color profile and you will see the difference

• The plans of work and the canvas color questions

  Downloaded the 2015 version of Photoshop and the problems with the color of the cloth and work plans. Work plans are displayed on a white background. I tried to change the color of the canvas by a right click and also through preferences > Interfaces but nothing has changed. Can someone advise?

  The preferred mode for work plans is:

  (1) preferences > performance > use the graphics processor = WE

  (2) the preferences > performance > avancΘs > draw = Advanced Mode

  (3) the RGB documents

  Other adjustments can result in a degraded experience. Work plans still work, but they can rate a part of the 'Visual' sugar
