PMS color in the metadata

Sometimes, some of my colleagues need to know that the PMS color in InDesign files. What are some bannerheads of color, we create for all our publications. They need to know Pantone colors for the printer, and only for their own production. In any case, I'm just learning how to create a web gallery of the bridge output, and I think it's the coolest thing in the world. I put a title here, with a few comments. I can view the file name and extension, too. Now, I would really like it if I could also show the PMS color that is used in each file. In this way, the next time they ask me what PMS colors are specific publications, I won't have to open each InDesign file to know.

Thank you

Peter

If you select the InDesign to Adobe Bridge file, you should be able to see the swatches used in the document.

Take a look at the window-> metadata-> Document color chart

It's way easier than I know.

  • CS6 PMS colors in the LABORATORY book

    Hello:

    I can't create a shade with values in Illustrator CMYK book Pantone: LAB only. All my color arte books display icons of LABORATORY.

    If I spec spot color to CMYK, I get the CMYK equivalent of this LABORATORY value, based on my color settings. For example: Pantone 485C with a book value of C0 M100 Y95 K0 dispalays as C10 M96 Y100 K2

    I work in the CMYK color space.

    I put "use CMYK values from the manufacturer books" in the dialogue of spot colors in the swatch Panel.

    Thank you

    You first drag the Pantone + libraries out of the shades libraries folder? You can not run both.

  • How can I create tints of a PMS color in Illustrator CS3?

    Hello

    I have an Illustrator file in CMYK mode. I am limited to 2 colors for printing on this project, so I want to use black and a spot color PMS 5565.

    I wish I could create nuances (hue) of the PMS color for a few variations, but do not see the color sliders.

    If I double-click the PMS color in the Swatches palette, shade options are:

    Color type: which has the value "tones".

    Global is checked

    The color mode is CMYK.

    I just thought of another question. If black is my color, I would be able to use shades of black to get gray. So, when I double click on a black background in the swatch palette, a black CMYK version comes up. So I have to choose a 'black' spot as well? Or can I change the document in grayscale color mode? Wait, I just checked. There is no grayscale mode in Illustrator.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    You have the color Panel open and the Swatch Group? When you choose a PMS color in the Swatch Panel, the color Panel there will be an available slider to change the hue of the PMS.

  • On a flyer, I need to produce black and PMS color. How can I create a PMS color (instead of something on the color wheel).

    On a flyer, I need to produce black and PMS color. How can I create a PMS color (instead of something on the color wheel or RGB)?

    It depends on the application. You use an inDesign application of PAO as Quark XPress, or something else?

    Many consumer apps is not able to output CMYK or specific pantone color combinations.

  • The CMYK values for the PMS colors in file are spread in final PDF.

    Customer provides us with a photoshop PDF, in which CMYK for a PMS color values are spread (in the case of PMS 633). Client creates files in indesign, save to PDF and then open the PDF Id file in photoshop and re - save as a photoshop PDF.

    Somehow, the color values are getting biased; 96 6/10/29/77.64/27.3/17.41/0, obviously enough to change the appearance of the color and the client refuses the job.

    Any suggestions?

    And Yes, I have noted the measures they take are not recommended, but I have no reason as to why.

    Values of PMS in InDesign are not actually stored as LAB, CMYK values. If the creation of PDF from InDesign and forcing in the process and all tasks the process CMYK, then you get the CMYK values depend on the color space designated for PDF output. Then you have a similar question rasterize PDF file in Photoshop. The CMYK values may change depending on the involved color spaces.

    In both cases, as described in Bob, this is a strongly discouraged workflow. Frankly, you perform additional measures that I guaranteed to degrade the quality and are a source of multiple, probably unexpected CMYK color conversions => C am 'Y' K'.   Ugghh!

    And Yes, we highly recommend the PDF/X-4 without any conversion of color directly exported from InDesign.

    And finally, to use spot colors for print streams where it didn't intend to use additional pigments is just looking for trouble. You can use the definitions of Pantone colors, but at least use the Pantone Process definitions, not spot colors in color!

  • Why color labels are not stored in the metadata of files?

    I've always wondered... is there a reason why color lables are stored only in the catalog, not in the files xmp fields?

    White label indicates that the "set label" being used now not him even if you were previously using. You can pass these ot create your own through the submenu color Label Set in the metadata.

    There is no search bar in Photoshop, it's always on. Try to type a number, and your selection should move forward. In the example below I typed 172.

    You must add a few lines of CSS in the page code.

    This may be easy for a person at ease with the code, but fortunately in Muse , it is not too difficult to simply add the line like a piece of code in the HEAD of the page. You will find the metadata tab on the Page Properties at normal or (preferably) the master page.

  • Script to convert CMYK PMS color

    Hi all

    activeDocument.selection [0] matchlist =.fillColor.color [0];

    But it doesn't change color of the object.

    Could you let me know how to do this?

    I don't know how to add a script in this forum. Please download JS code from the link below.

  • Saving Spot PMS colors for libraries of clouds

    I started to create cloud Logos, etc libraries for linking my apps, but I get that when I create a new color watch in the library from a PMS Spot color, it doesn't give me a designation Hex and CMYK mix overall.

    Am I missing something?

    Be able to keep the PMS Spot colors for my clients would be a time huge saver if this selected this info; otherwise, do not know if this feature is invaluable for me.

    In fact, it seems that if I drag an art work (say a logo) with colors PMS Spot, it retains this info when placed in a new document, but I can't seem to get a PMS color saved as a sample to fill?

    You cannot save a shade of tones in a library, but as you already noticed it works when applied to a chart.

  • Not created using AI PMS colors

    1. I had a designer to create a logo with I. I sent the source file of the logo on a printer to use for business cards and stationery. I learned that the colors of the logo cannot be exactly replicated for more information on maps and fixed, because they weren't the PMS colors. It's hard for me to believe because there the source file and the software HERE. I need to find a better printer or is it correct? Thank you

    Yes.  By selecting items in the logo itself and get a reading in the color palette.

  • Photo printing PMS color (+ 4CP press)

    I am a designer catalog for a clothing company. Normally, we print 4CP and it is very important that our garment colours are printed accurately in our 50-100 page catalogs. We have a new color of clothing that is so fluorescent (bright pink), we cannot achieve through 4CP. I have a Pantone matching, and we intend to print this 4CP + 1 color Pantone catalogue.

    What is the best way for me to save this photo/photoshop link 1 clothing for my InDesign file? I am familiar with Duotone-can I use my PMS 812 + Magenta to get the right color? When I use my 812 PMS as a monotonous, the color of the garment is too light. However, I'm afraid, with 812 + Magenta looks good on the screen, but using the magenta may remove that fluorescent look, we need to print. Also, what is the best way to achieve the regular search on top of this PMS color fluorescent shadows? It is difficult to correct colors when our desktop printers cannot print this true PMS 812.

    Everyone has experienced with sending files to print professionally with InDesign... your advice is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

    A spot channel is the way to get separation, but there is no way to profile, CMYK + Spot and get a specific app or the evidence composite printed the way you can with right up to CMYK. Throwing a few curves on the channels and go directly to the production without proof of the press is asking for trouble.

  • reversed spot colors on the screen

    When I export PDFs from indesign cs4 on a windows vista machine spot colors in the pdf file (text alive and vector files in any format) seem to be reversed on the screen.

    I export with the 'high quality' preset and the preset "quality of the press." If I export with other presets colors appear on the screen perfectly. However, other presets are standards that do not spot export.

    print .ps and aid to distill sometimes takes care of the issue, but are a pain in the work around end to end.

    If it was just me I could care less, because I know that the files will display properly. Customers see this and want to know why 872 Golden looks blue.

    If I feel, colors appear very well. If I to ' advanced > print > overview of the output "and select only the spot colors in the file, while I'm in the output preview mode, the colors are fine. If I highlight and select text/vectors with the arrow tool the colors invert to the appropriate color.

    It's as if everything is highlighted with the default pointer tool. This happens more with pms solid coated reflex blue, pms 072 solid coating and various metallic pantone. I can provide examples if necessary. No guarantee that it will appear on your screen as it looks good. I use default color profiles. It is a really aggravating question.

    example:

  • I need to change my black and white a PMS color chart

    How can I do this? I made the graphic black and white so that the client could print any PMS color they wanted. The client is now asking me to provide a file that will sample in a few PMS colors and I don't know how to do this b & w print in a specific PMS color. I know of Hue/Saturation, but how do I get it to be exactly like the PMS color? Help!

    You could have white selected as the ink for the two-color, or you might have a defined curve to kill all of the ink. Hold down the ALT key while in the Duotone box dialog and 'Cancel' should become 'reset '. Restore dialogue and set the ink by clicking on the black square.
