Question about four black color

Hi all!

I noticed that Photoshops seems, by default, do black Black "4 color". In other words it uses C, M, Y and K to create black rather than simply set K 100%. This creates problems for me when I print things on my laser CMYK printer, because it pulls in fact all four black create toner cartridges ink. I printed out a 300-page document which was ALL black text last week and was surprised when, half by printing, I ran out of YELLOW ink!

Also, when I create documents for commercial printing, what I often do, the problem with four black color is not wasted ink, its registration. Its very difficult for the press to save the black text is built using the four colors. Especially with the small text.

Is there a way to DEFAULT photoshop do all black PURE black? And also this would include shadows. Even the shadows must be pure black. Thank you!

If you insist in Ps, then you must work in CMYK destination space and then when you do your text layers, just the spec as 100% black. Convert your images color separately prior to their importation into the final doc and you'll have the best of both world, less, of course, the sharp kind that would receive you if you let the imagesetter solve it at its native resolution instead of as a halftone. Then, after all that is done, you will need to make sure that there is no color inadvertently conversions downstream where a reconversion can screw with your black generation. If the downstream conversion is done, they must be done with profiles of connection of device set up to preserve the original black gen.

But even after all that, there is no reason not to use IDS to make even smaller announcements. The size of the announcement has no impact on the merits of the application for the work, and ID is really the most appropriate.

As you laser printer, your original post said that you were printing of 300 pages of text, so, given that you want to check the black only option and do with it. Again, same printing to a laser printer, if you have mixed color images, you must be in final CMYK mode and have you type spec'd correctly, the printer prints all that is spec'd but only as long as there is no downstream of color conversions, which means you can print through a true CMYK RIP with your laser.

  • Question about rich blacks

    OK, I know that this topic has been discussed several times in these forums, and I've read many of them. However I need help with details pertaining to the following question.

    Lets say, I'm working on album covers and import a picture into my document psd to cmyk. To create a shadow, I then paint in the background areas with a black color with a soft brush. I add a text, "convert to shapes" and save as PDF for printing. One of my concerns is that the areas that I painted with black print possibly to a different shade of black to my photo. It should be a concern?

    I understand that the default black 0,0,0,100 is ok for small text and images, but for bigger bigger texts and larger areas of black, it is preferable to use an intense black as (0,60,0,100) for example. Well, since I have more large areas of black outside my image, how do I change them to a rich black while ensuring it will mix well in black edges of my images? Just mix everything with a brush sweet sampling of colors while enough to ensure my black will print in color is uniform?

    I read on "create a profile" and a "custom CMYK" allowing me to adjust my levels of black, but not quite sure how to make this really and when it must be done. I have experimented with this option and noticed that it seems not darken my blacks, but also obscuring the black pixels in areas unwanted such as a people's face in a picture for example. I guess I could just apply changes to a new layer and hide the or erase the unwanted areas so the original indicates layer shows through.

    Sorry if that sounds confusing, that I am a bit confused with how to approach fills with projects where I painted in some blacks. Any help from someone competent in this area would be greatly appreciated.

    I have attached the cover of the album I'm working on to show what I'm trying to do.

    For this type of image, the ONLY way I would, and I did more that I can count, would be to make the composite whole or whatever you want to call in RGB. When your black blend RGB, they will automatically, as stated above, work together, but to ensure that they are based in fact. Second, you want or need in a black traditional "rich." You want what you get - a 300 percent ink medium light black black generation. You don't want or need a 100 per cent black in this image type. Take account of this photograph. The black area in is NOT the same which would fill you with an intense black solid part of graphic design.

    In regards to the CMYK conversion, of course you don't get 90 percent black of this conversion. That's what indicates the SWOP v2 profile and it's why happened just to add up to 300 percent of ink. Now, if that's the right profile for your printer is doubtful, and the way you describe the people you have worked with, it sounds like they Classic old school print idiots. I would definitely not trust them with the conversion, but of course, I want to see proof on their first Proofer. If it were me, I would just take a profile custom and with it, but you don't have that luxury.

    If you start to mix and paint CMYK, you may really goes well beyond the limit of ink for your process, or worse, ending up with a weird CMYK mix in black that prints in reality with a cast you can see.

  • Questions about layers and color selection. Help, please! : 0

    Hello!  I am a user of Gimp for a long time, but finally upgraded to photoshop primarily for logo designs or.  I'm a bit lost when it comes for the most part and did not get some questions answered by youtube tutorials that I thought I could.  How to draw on multiple layers?  I don't understand the error message when I try.  Also how I ' smart select ' a certain color on a given layer?  Thank you very much!!!

    First of all, I suggest that if your work is in large part illustration and logos, you look at the Adobe Illustrator. Amnesty International, a vector approx. offers many advantages and can provide an accurate picture regardless of resizing. If you prefer to work with Photoshop, you can draw on several layers, by choosing each layer in turn through the layers panel. If an image has several dull colors and you want to select one of them to put on its own layer, see the feature Select > color range followed by Cmd + J. remember to save your file as a psd rather than jpg in order to maintain the different layers.

  • Question about removing background color

    I have a .jpg image high resolution of a woman on a helmet. The background is a white fill Uni. I want to delete this background and just use the portion of women. Unfortunately, I am inexperienced and were unable to use trace to capture only him (the color comes out always grainy, even after the selection of the quantity max colors (256) in the trace function). So I thought using the magic wand, as in Photoshop, could also remove the white background. Unfortunately, when I select the magic wand and check the fill color in the magic wand options, I have chosen image and it seems to be by selecting the entire image. I just have this image on a work plan and nothing else.

    I'm new to Illustrator CS4 and must be missing something. It is the cake in photoshop, but am unable to get it right in Illustrator. Any suggestions/help would be appreciated.

    If it is easy for you to do this in Photoshop, do it here. Save it as a .psd. Then, place it in your Illustrator document.

    Illustrator will respect transparency in .psd Photoshop images.

If you look at the following page: http://www.holywings.com/ on the main content Div I have a background image that, once read via "LiveView" in D/W, it shows a border of 20 or so empty white pixel between this area and the title area.

  • A few questions about the colors of Patone

    I have a few questions about patone color since it is the first time that I use. I want to use them to create a paper letterhead and business cards in two colors.

    1)

    I don't understand that no sex is more than coated patone washed out colors. I heard that it's because the way paper absorbs the inkt. That is why the same results inkt in different colors on different papers (right?). My question is why is the patone black no sex so different than black normal (c = 0 m = 0 y = 0, k = 100) or black intense:

    blacks.png

    When I print a normal document with cmyk, I can get pretty dark black color. How is it that I can't have this dark with patone color black color? Even text documents printed on a cheap printer can get a darker color than the color of Patone. He looks way too grey for me.

    (2) a first model, I want to print of patone in CMYK color (since I have like 10 different colors on a page of quick comparison). I know these CMYK colors distinguish the colors of patone and I can't get a representation of 100%. But is there a way to convert patone CMYK values?

    I hope some of you can help me with my questions.

    Thank you.

    You can get shades CMYK Pantone in Illustrator, (Swatches Panel > Open Swatch Library > color books > + PANTONE Color Bridge Coated or lying) but in my opinion, what's the point?  If you print to a digital printer, just use RGB (HSB) or CMYK. Personally, I never use CMYK called "equivalents." from Pantone

    Pantone colors are all mixed pigmented inks, which are fluorescent beyond the limits of the range of RGB and CMYK in particular. The original Pantone Matching System (PMS) was created for the printing industry. He described formulations of ink pigmented for each of its colors.

    Most digital printers (laser or inkjet) use CMYK. The range of CMYK is MUCH SMALLER than many mixed inks, printed on papers either paved or unpaved can deliver. When you specify no sex Pantone ink in artificial intelligence, according to Pantone conversion tables, HAVE "about" what will look like this color on a sheet no bed, try using CMYK. -In my opinion, this has little relevance to the real world conditions and should be avoided in most situations.

    If your project must be printed on a press printing with Pantone inks spots, then by all means, use Pantone colors. But don't trust the colors of the screen; rather get a Pantone swatch book and watch real inks on paper lying and uncoated, depending on the stock you will use on the press.

    With printing decreases rapidly for inkjet and web printers, Pantone has attempted to expand its relevance beyond the traction-date of publication (in the books and software alliances, with one such as Adobe) his old PMS inks and their supposed equivalent LAB and CMYK. I say "supposed" because even once, monitors RGB and CMYK inks can never be literally equivalent to many Pantone inks. But if you go to your project on a printing press printing, Pantone inks are still very relevant as of the "tones".

    I also put my preferences I > appearance of black both display all blacks accurately and output all blacks accurately. The only exception to this may be when you print on a digital printer, where there should be no problem checking.

    Rich black in artificial intelligence is a phenomenon of the screen, at least in the Prefs > appearance of Black, you specify also "out all inks like Rich Black"-something I'd do it EVER do so out for a real printing press. Still, I put my black people in artificial intelligence at the "output All Blacks Acurately" during a press release. If you fail to do so, then the press you will see any minor issue registration, with C, M and look at the back, especially around black characters.  UGH!

    Good luck!  :+)

  • Satellite L650-11R - a few questions about this

    Hello there :-)

    I have a few questions about my new L650.

    I've never had Toshiba notebook before so I apologize if some of these "quirks" are actually quite normal on this laptop. I really want to hear the views of other users L650.

    1)
    First of all, by the time I turned it on I saw gradient thin (1-2 mm) along the right edge of the screen that goes from the bottom up. Maybe "degraded" isn't the right word, but it seems that since two or three pixels are kind of discoloration or lose brightness/sharpness to the edge along the straight bezel. It is not really that visible, looks like the colors are desaturated a bit here or brightness is a bit lacking. He can be seen everywhere (bios or no color in Windows, but better in the lighter background).
    The left side (or other) seems ok, all this along the right edge is somewhat suspicious. If one can compare? I don't know if it's something to worry about or is just supposed to be like that.

    2)
    The other thing I noticed heating of the processor (Intel i3 330M) and GPU (ATi Mobility Radeon 5650). It's pretty hot here right now (I would say that the temperature is around 28 degrees Celsius when using cell phones). He is sitting on the hard surface (table) and nothing is blocking the vents.
    However, at "rest" (surf the web & regular light stuff), average CPU temp hovers around 58 ° C. It usually goes from 45 to 62 in just a few minutes after starting, and then I can hear and see (Toshiba PC Health Monitor) evacuate the kicks in. Temp goes back to 50 +, event stops and then the temp rises to 60 + until the vent is used again.
    During load full (Prime95 or some games), CPU is going all the way up to 75 degrees (the highest being 77). Fan runs at 75 to 77% during this time, never go faster.

    GPU idling is usually around 5 degrees above temp CPU (62-65). During full load (for example. Benchmark of Far Cry 2), I see a lot of stuttering with the latest drivers Catalyst and DX10 (not sure if the stuttering has something to do with heat), otherwise it is ok (no artifacts or anything like that). Temp of GPU during the loading goes up to 74-75, fan speed is locked at 30%, the frequency of the heart 5650 is 450 MHz. left side of the laptop (vent and below) is pretty hot, while the keyboard is warm (or slightly warmer who who).

    These time seems correct and safe in the long term? I'd rather events works all the time (they aren't really very strong) and keeping time less than 50, but there are just wishful pious bios control events and I can't control not the bios. :-)

    3)
    This is just General related products. :-)
    Official specifications of Toshiba L650 say ATi 5650 (between other low range GPU), but I saw a few specifications calling for there 5730 (same model 11R). Is there really a Satellite L650 with ATi 5730 GPU models?

    Sorry for the long post, I tried to include the best possible description that I could do. :-)

    Thank you in advance.

    Thanks for the additional info!

  • A few questions about the Satellite A100 PSAANE

    Hi friends,

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A 100 - PSAANE with Vista Home Basic preinstalled in it.
    Now, I have a few questions... I mention below: -.

    (1) if I want to format my laptop, I need a CD to install for Vista Home basic... then I don't have this Toshiba CD when I bought the laptop. So how do? question: How can I format it?

    (2) can I change my Vista Home Basic to windows XP? I think it's much faster than this one. is it advisable?

    (3) I have a GB of RAM in the laptop. Increase the RAM? I think that my laptop has become to slow down. is it advisable?

    (4) and on my screen, everytime I try to change my profile screen to windows Classic view, my screen begins to blink. and after a while, the screen turns off. So I can't change that. I put the color scheme of windows vista only. What to do about that?

    Please help me friends. Thanks in advance.

    Kind regards

    Hello

    Here, a few questions about the number:

    (1) usually, you should get the Vista Toshiba Recovery DVD. If you didn t receive this DVD then you can order it here https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx or you could install the disc of Microsoft Vista.

    (2) of course, you can do this. I think that Win XP drivers can be downloaded from the Toshiba driver page.

    (3) Yes, you can upgrade the RAM. For more information, see your manual or search on this forum for similar topics

    (4) maybe it s associated with the graphics driver. Check if you can update. I would recommend additional check if you are using the latest version of the BIOS

  • Question about video drivers Satellite P100-257

    Hello.
    Question about video driver. Version 14.25... Works (tells... 945 GM chipset); 14.27--works but with ocassional problems (tells... 945GM/GU); version 14,29... (said 945GM/GU) - does not work at all - black screen, but you can hear sounds which tells that XP does all right.

    Why that? And what is GU? Pilot info says it is for 945GM, pilot says he's for 945GM/GU.

    All kinds of three said they are for Mobile Intel 945 GM Express chipset. Who initially my machine have said there. In section "video card" my machine said no Intel - some Calg... - don't remember exactly the name.
    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    As much as I know Satellite P100-257 supports the graphics card Mobile Intel 945GM. The code name of Intel's GM Calistoga
    This is not the same thing as the chipset Intel 945GM/GU. Both are different and so the graphics drivers are not totally compatible!

    The Intel page provides some interesting info on these chipsets:
    Mobile Intel Express Chipset 945GM

    Unfortunately, I have not found anything on the 945GM/GU.

  • A few questions about my new Z5 Compact camera

    A few days ago I bought the Xperia Z5 Compact (and updated the marshmallow) to replace my Z1 Compact and meanwhile read the manual and looked into the camera settings. Now I have 2 questions about the camera.

    (1) according to this manual, it takes an option to 'adjust the color and brightness manually. I rember having seen this option once in the form of 2 sliders, but now I cannot reproduce it more and find more options in the settings. What should I do wrong or overlooking?

    (2) I noticed that I can manually put only iso for resolution of 8 MP or less. When I put a 20 MP resolution, the iso setting is grayed and automatically the value. Is this a normal behavior?

    Thanks in advance for the answers.

    Hi @Rijnton,

    I just tested this on my Xperia X but it runs on Android M, it should be similar to the Z5 Compact (although there may be some differences).

    Color and brightness options may not be available in manual mode, but are for higher Auto and video.

OK... so what's fixed now... a question about the manual of the system. Said that when the battery is charging, a white light is supposed to be on... where? When that I start, I see a momentary white light at the top of the screen, by the front camera... but when it is plugged and the loading and off... white light no.... No a - I misread? Thank you

    Light (color is white when the load) is located next to the power switch (top, right). Mine re-load very fast.
