• Add used colors (PMS)

  I would like to delete all the nuances in my Swatches palette so I find myself with no color chart (from own). This way when I create illustrations using colors PMS (color chart), I can add later, and then in the Swatches palette, I will have only the PMS colors and CMYK colors used in the document.

  However, and I do not remember what happens before, but now when I "Add used color chart", all PMS colors appear in the Swatches palette, but appear as process colors, represented by CMYK values in the color palette. I used to do (add used shades) and when they were added, they appear as a spot color in the palette of Swatch and read as 'Pantone xyz' in the color palette.

  I don't want the PMS colors to add as tones of PMS, cmyk process...

  Illustrator CS 5 (15.0.2) using MBP 10.6.8.

  
  Thank you.

  PANTONE solid colors are tones when you add in the book of colors, but the moment you delete them in order to 'clean up' the file, you convert spot colors to process. Of course Illustrator is unclear to them as Pantone colors.

  If you want to "clean up" your file, why not just use the command "select not used" in the Panel menu?

• Load and save color chart in Muse

• PANTONE + does not match the previous Pantone spot color chart. I have several customers who are using spot colors in logos etc and now these colors are a mess. Can I get and use the old color for Illustrator books?

  PANTONE + does not match the previous Pantone spot color chart. I have several customers who are using spot colors in logos etc and now these colors are a mess. Can I get and use the old color for Illustrator books?

  Well, the spot color has not changed, but the way they were simulated four-color changed, they now use color management to get to the nearest ink possible task.

  Here is some info:

• I use CS3 AI... .the color chart menu DISAPPEARED

  I use CS3 AI... .the menu of color chart has DISAPPEARED, even if the color chart is check under the WINDOW. ALL that is there is now a red slash... According to the usual 'help' was totally useless.

  Here's the screenshot: how in hell do this back?

  Thanks in advance,

  Open a raster file is mainly the reason why there is no nuance in a file.

  If you want to have shades in a file from the beginning: you must create a new file and then place the raster in her file.

  But you can also simply load or create samples later.

• Color chart rename using Java script

  Hi friends,

  I tried to rename the shades by using the following script,

  This does not work for the tinted shades. Can you please help me to solve this problem.

  myDocument var = app.activeDocument;
  for (i = 4; i < myDocument.swatches.length; i ++)
  {
  var mySwatchName = myDocument.swatches.item (i) .name;
  myDocument.swatches.item (i) .name = "XX_" + mySwatchName;
  }
  our var = myDocument.swatches.length - 4;
  Alert ("DONE and" amendments + "renowned color chart");

  Thanks in advance...

  Hello

  I copied the code and tried again, but it does not work because "Tone" was cut out by the SPACE such as 'T int' when I pasted here.

  I pasted the code again, but it will be added SPACE between 't' and 'int '. ??? Sorry, please delete SPACE and try again.

  {if (myDocument.Swatches.Item (i) .getElements () [0] .constructor.)} (Name==='Tint')}

  It works for me on OSX 10.6.4 + InDesign CS3, CS4.

• Color chart color sorting in InDesign

  Some of the major publications that I work on build up a gazillion of swatches, and I'd like to be able to sort out them. In the past I did manually, by CMYK value. But this takes time and often translates visually convoluted arrangements. The Greens are not all together, we pastels of the reds and yellows, etc.. I would like to do it with a script, to save time and make more perceptually useful and enjoyable.

  Any help or advice would be much appreciated. Or if you are an Angel script, maybe you want to write to me. I've written the scripts before, but I don't know the best way to navigate the nuances, or how to sort them into folders or to group them.

  The base sort method I want is to regroup the nuances in records as follows (each point of the bullet would be a file separate in the palette swatches - or maybe just grouped together in a simple list - could be an option in the script... and the following each bullet formula describes the criteria for colors in this group and how they would be sorted) :

  • Magenta: If M > 127 and CYK < 64, sorting by density
  • Red: If MY > 127 and CK < 64 and M > = O, sorting by density
  • Oranges: If MY > 127 and CK < 64 and Y > M, sort by density
  • Yellow: If Y > 127 and CMK < 64, sorting by density
  • The hot Greens: If > 127 and MK < 64 CY and Y > = C, sorting by density
  • Cool Greens: CY if > 127 and MK < 64 and C > there, sorting by density
  • Cyans: If C > 127 and MYK < 64, sorting by density
  • Blues: If > 127 CM and YK < 64 and C > = M, sort by density
  • Purples: If > 127 CM and YK < 64 and M > C, sort by density
  • Dark colors: all values are > 85, sort by dominant CMY, then by density
  • Pastels: all values are < 15, sort by dominant CMY, then by density
  • Gray: no matter where the CMY values are +/-5 compared to their average (which includes also CMY = 0), sorting by dominant to CMY value then by density.
  • Everything else: sort by dominant CMY then by density

  
  

  (In the section above, "If MY > 127" means, "if M and there are both individually less than 127 ' etc ')
  

  
  

  For gray calculation: average = (C + M + Y) / 3

  
  

  For the sort of density: density = L of (L * a * b), or other formula to calculate the value of lightness/darkness such as: density = (C * 0.49) + (M * 0.6) + (Y * 0.07) + (K * 0.91)

  
  

  For color chart RGB, convert RGB colors and process to CMYK?

  
  

  Remove all of the tones in their own folder (or top).

  
  

  Drop all gradients in their own folder (or the end of list).

  Hi MPrewitt,

  Have fun with your idea, although I'm still getting a large number of samples unassigned in the 'other' category (last group).

  

  My script allows you to play with the thresholds that you have provided, you will probably want to restore the original values.

  In any case, here's the code so far:

• How can I download color chart

  How can I download color chart

  Thanks for posting. Here's the answer to your question:

  Creative cloud subscribers

  The download feature is no longer available.  But, you can still access your themes in all your Adobe applications.  If you are looking to access your themes in other applications, here's how:

  Step 1: On the page explores (or theme page) click the icon "change the copy."

  Step 2: If you want to make changes, you can do so on the next page that loads (the color wheel). Once you are done making changes, click on the Save"" button.

  Step 3: Enter a name for your theme, and then select the library you want to save in.

  Now, the theme will be displayed in your libraries in your applications.  In most applications, you can access the library by accessing the window > library.

  Not a subscriber of creative cloud:

  The download feature is no longer available.  Creative cloud libraries is the mechanism that adobe uses to share assets between applications.  If you do not have a CC membership, it's doable, but not too easy.

  Option 1: You will have to copy the RGB, HEX.  and paste the values into the application you are using.

  Option 2: If you have CS6 or earlier, you can use the "Kuler" Panel to access the 'public' colors and use them in your application.

• Color chart of model move when exported to PDF and read in Preview/GoodReader

  I tried for days find an answer to this issue, but have failed. You should also know that I am a self-taught user Adobe Creative Suite. I'm working on a Mac with CS6.

  I work for a small publisher that produces knitting books. The problem is this: our tech editor has created graphics in Illustrator using the color chart of model function. (These are graphic knit. Each square contains a shade of motif representing the knit stitch).

  I then place these cards in their format native .ai in an Indesign file and exporting to PDF. In Acrobat, the charts look fabulous. In the drive of the preview Mac and GoodReader, tables do this...

  

  ... the model color chart move around inside their places. Each of these points must be placed inside their places. First, when I resize the application framework, the nuances of the model move I have re-size of the frame. Any ideas on what could happen here?

  I tried to save the graphics as PDF files and putting those in the InDesign file. Does not help. Export diagrams as images (jpg or tif) works, but I need to make ridiculously high resolution/size for the quality of the vector image. I would rather put .ai files in the .indd file if possible.

  Try to use the file > object > expand on a copy of the original before making the PDF for placement.

• By default the color chart - can they be changed?

  The vast majority of my work in InDesign requires that I have colors of our company responsible as swatches to select various elements. I did a file .ase containing only these colors. What I would really like to do now is to include it in my color chart by default so that new document I create will already have them loaded, instead of having to load them separately.

  Is this possible? If so, how should I do this?

  I use the ID CS6 v8.0.2 on a Win7 sp1 machine.

  Thank you!

  Susan

  Load them without opening the files. All future files you create will get them.

• How to create a camera profile that works with a JPG image with my color chart to check inside? [was: color Checker chart.] Really need help]

  I got a color chart to check. It came not with any software whatsoever. I shoot my images in JPG format. I know it's not really ideal but I'm on a tight budget and don't have the money for a digital SLR cameras that shoot raw. Is there anyway that I can always create a camera profile that works with a JPG image with my color chart to check inside? My table also includes RGB values below each color. Maybe I can match each color in the photo these values manually? If so how is this done?

  Thank you

  Bryce

  I've never seen software that does what you ask for JPGs, only RAWs.  The main problem is that any profile or adjustment is calculated according a JPG of a particular chart photo would apply to the other JPG photos with the same white balance.

  Jpg does not use "camera profiles" anyway in Lightroom, the profile is always integrated.

  There is a product that allows to calculate the HSL cursor offset values given a JPG photo their own table owner who looked like a color checker, but had two lines reversed so the software could not be used with a standard-checker color, unfortunately.  Now their table has twice as many patches (48), and looking at it on their site I'm not too sure that it does not always work with JPGs or if she's just raw files, now.

  The graphic and software are called SpyderCheckr of Datacolor.  There are various software that do different things, but none are using a ColorChecker, so having one is mainly a loss until you get a camera that can take raw photos, so keep a humidity and temperature controlled environment as much as possible until you have the right camera.  You can probably use the grey patches to adjust exposure, but that's all.

  Today you need not a digital SLR to have raw photos, well.  My phone Galaxy S6 with the last update of Marshmallow and the software of camera update will take photos in format raw DNG in Pro mode which I can create custom profiles camera to use a ColorChecker, although the camera is really good in itself, so when I found everything first he could make DNG I took a little but now, I usually just use the camera to make the jpg unless the shot is really important and the lighting is not too hard.  I think that S7 phone's camera is even better.

  What kind of camera do you have?  Sometimes, there are firmware hacks that allow the camera to shoot raw format even if the standard camera cannot.

• Cannot drag and drop a pattern to the color chart

  I have a PC with Windows 10 so maybe that's part of the problem.

  I've been working with a very detailed model and using the function drag / move in the color chart with no problems.  Then all of a sudden it stopped working.  Any thoughts?  I can drag and drop other items in, but not this model more.  Any thoughts?

  Try and select the object complete, then object > model > done. This can generate a more descriptive error message. Will there be a clipping mask in your work?

• Menu problem of color chart.

  My indesign work properly this morning and I quit smoking.  An hour later, I went on it and in the menu color chart, I lost my options down.  In fact, I lost all the options on all of my menus on this side of the screen.  Y at - it a keyboard shortcut, I accidentally hit? He used to be a trash and group option out there. Thanks for your help.

• the color chart "load" command does not in InDesign 2014 and 2015

  The "load the color chart" command in the Panel color chart does not in InDesign 2014 and 2015. Cannot click the Pantone or any other collection, they are all faded.  I have already trashed the Preferences folder and restarted ID and Mac. It started only once I have updated to the latest version of CC, but now it affects 2014 and 2015.  Don't know what to do, I don't like reinstalling one or the other.  Tried to go back to the CS6.  All solutions anyone?  Thank you!

  

  Color chart of load control is for loading samples from other documents or a swatch file.

  Use the new swatch command to add a color.
