Script to convert CMYK PMS color

Similar Questions

• 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!

  app.findObjectPreferences = app.changeObjectPreferences = null;

  app.findObjectPreferences.fillColor = "check";

  app.changeObjectPreferences.fillColor = 'Black ';

  app.changeObject ();

• 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.

• How can I open the "Convert to indexed colors" dialog box with custom presets?

  Hello

  I need to automatically open the "Convert to indexed colors" dialog box in Photoshop. Before and after that I have a few scripts that are running, so it is not possible to open the dialog manually. Also, I want to put some custom presets (like the number of colors, etc.).

  Find something similar to what I want for the color range selection (opens the dialog with the presets you put in that):

  function colorrange(enabled, withDialog, fuzziness) {
      if (enabled != undefined && !enabled)
        return;
      var dialogMode = (withDialog ? DialogModes.ALL : DialogModes.NO);
      var desc1 = new ActionDescriptor();
      desc1.putInteger(app.charIDToTypeID('Fzns'),fuzziness);
      var desc2 = new ActionDescriptor();
      desc2.putDouble(app.charIDToTypeID('Lmnc'), 31.22);
      desc2.putDouble(app.stringIDToTypeID("a"), 0.86);
      desc2.putDouble(app.stringIDToTypeID("b"), 0.31);
      desc1.putObject(app.charIDToTypeID('Mnm '), app.charIDToTypeID('LbCl'), desc2);
      var desc3 = new ActionDescriptor();
      desc3.putDouble(app.charIDToTypeID('Lmnc'), 95.34);
      desc3.putDouble(app.stringIDToTypeID("a"), 54.59);
      desc3.putDouble(app.stringIDToTypeID("b"), 49.85);
      desc1.putObject(app.charIDToTypeID('Mxm '), app.charIDToTypeID('LbCl'), desc3);
      desc1.putInteger(app.stringIDToTypeID("colorModel"), 0);
      var desc4 = new ActionDescriptor();
      var desc4 = executeAction(app.stringIDToTypeID('colorRange'), desc1, dialogMode);
    };
  

  How can I get the same thing for the indexed color conversion dialog box? Apart from doing a lot of guessing about the stringIDs.

  Is there some kind of "table of choice" for char and string ID?

  Guys thank you very much in advance! This forum has been a great help on several occasions.

  OK never mind I got it, stupid me.

  He has recorded with Listener Script and changed the "DialogMode" parameter of the function of executeAction "DialogModes.No" at "DialogModes.All".

  var idCnvM = charIDToTypeID( "CnvM" );
              var desc249 = new ActionDescriptor();
              var idT = charIDToTypeID( "T  " );
                  var desc250 = new ActionDescriptor();
                  var idPlt = charIDToTypeID( "Plt " );
                  var idClrP = charIDToTypeID( "ClrP" );
                  var idSele = charIDToTypeID( "Sele" );
                  desc250.putEnumerated( idPlt, idClrP, idSele );
                  var idClrs = charIDToTypeID( "Clrs" );
                  desc250.putInteger( idClrs, 4 );
                  var idFrcC = charIDToTypeID( "FrcC" );
                  var idFrcC = charIDToTypeID( "FrcC" );
                  var idNone = charIDToTypeID( "None" );
                  desc250.putEnumerated( idFrcC, idFrcC, idNone );
                  var idTrns = charIDToTypeID( "Trns" );
                  desc250.putBoolean( idTrns, false );

• 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.

• 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.

• How to convert CMYK Pantone Pantone Spot?

  Simple Question:

  I work in the Creative Suite 5 (from CS2) and cannot find where the 'switch' is located in the new layout of toolbars to convert CMYK Pantone Pantone Spot. My document mode is CMYK and when I discovered my palette of Document Info it says I have no spot colors.

• 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.

• Help with a script that converts the HTML object text box

  I don't know anything about programming scripts and unfortunately inDesign isn't any panel actions as Photoshop..

  I need a script to convert a text box with HTML code inside a HTML object... I think not, it should be very difficult

  How could be the following:

  (1) select the text box
  (2) cut all text inside
  (3) remove the empty box
  (4) select selection tool
  (5) go to OBJECT/INSERT HTML
  6) paste it into the code before you cut the text box
  (7) OK and close the menu INSERT HTML code

  If the Script works, we could change with HTML code inside a text box to an object HTML (video, card, animations,...)

  The first step could be manually selecting each text box or by selecting all of the boxes that start automatically by "< iFRAME '

  1000 thanks

  It's photoshop

  

  Libraries are the same? The two RGB colors are different and they have different look on the screen.

  None of this has to do if you are not working with color management and conversion of spot color to a CMYK process color, which seems to be the case here...

• 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.

• Rearrange the PMS colors in PS6

  This change makes me crazy, completely unnessasary and added so much confusion. Is there a way I can get my PMS color arranged as they were in previous versions of PS or at least add a search as bar HAVE to?

  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.

• 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.
