The eyedropper tool is unable to choose the correct colors.

1.png

Hello, I am facing a strange problem with the eyedropper tool.

The background is a gradient mesh (ignore the cross). I used the eyedropper tool (shift-click/normal-click both gave the same result) on the bottom and he gave me a strange result. As you can see, the background is blue - to-black gradation, but the color scheme is green-ish of nowhere.

How can I solve this?

It is only a problem with gradients as a gradient is an algorithm (formula) where all the colors are only those that are defined with the steps of color on the gradient tool (Control Panel). Intermediate colors are generated on the fly in the color space of the final output, which in this case is the color RGB (profile) of your monitor space. As a work around for what you can develop the gradient of steps or same rasterize is going to happen in the colorspace of the document and this will make all the color values actually described one by one in the illustrator vector object file or image raster and then the pipette will be able to take them as expected.

A simple example that illustrates this: in a CMYK document, create a gradient with two stops in grayscale by 100% and 99%. then shift clicking on this slope will not come an expected color but if you spend the gradient in two steps, you'll get two items at 99% and 100%.

  • Is it possible to know if my screen colors to the correct color temperature

    Is it possible to know if my Macbook Pro display colors to the correct color temperature?

    When I got it, it seemed hot, so I adjusted... .but how do I know if it is now right?

    Hello there, Chris.

    It seems you are trying to determine how much to calibrate the screen on your MacBook Pro. The following Knowledge Base article provides a few strides and the link to do this in the latest version of Mac OS x:

    OS X El Capitan: calibrate your screen

    The colors on your screen can be changed by many factors, such as ambient light, the position and the angle of the screen and the age of the screen. To take these changes into account, you can set your display to show accurate color using calibrator Assistant monitor.

    Calibrate it regularly to ensure accurate color.

    1. Choose the Apple menu > System Preferences, click view, and then click color.
    2. Click calibrator Calibrate.Display wizard guide you through calibrating your monitor, then creates a calibrated color profile. When the display profile is ready, it is automatically assigned in the color profile of your screen.

    Some screens have additional built-in color calibration and precision features. For more information, see the documentation that came with your monitor.

    Make you the correction of the colors on the timeline?

    If you lose, your sequence settings are defined to render at 100% resolution?

    Peter MovieMaker says:

    The method to use depends, I think, what exact version of FCP5 you.

    If you go into the settings sequence and on the general tab pane, click the compressor settings drop-down menu, you can see that apple Pro Res listed as a choice?

    Basically, you want to convert the files of black magic in a format that is change friendly to your FCP5 software. Once converted, you import these files converted in your editing.

  • Fonts do not print the correct colors from Illustrator or Acrobat

    I create in Illustrator. I put the nuances that I use for all my designs to be used as I have clients who have physical impressions of these swatches. The problem is, I can change the color of the work and the design of the elements in the file and it will print the correct color, but when you use the same exact shade on the police, it does not and it gives me a shadow of what is the color, while the design of the elements in the same file (traits (, forms, etc.) print the right shade. This occurs when you print from the two Illustrator and PDF of Acrobat format. I tried to create a new doc and type the text, but the tone still does not. I used to be able to print from Illustrator and the problem was solved, but now suddenly it does not work in an application. I wish to print all in PDF format, but I was never able to get the correct color print in this way. Also, I have tested on several fonts and I get the same problem.

    Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Does make a difference if briefly explain you the text before you save it as a pdf.

  • help choose the correct color settings

    Hello everyone, its been a long time that I installed Photoshop and do not remember the appropriate parameters for the work in Photoshop CS6.  I had a problem with my computer and had to reinstall and now my mind is a blank. I tried browsing here and on the net and came up with a large number of ions of conflict.  I know I have to use Adobe 1998, but alternatives escape me. I do know that if I should change the gray space, I was told to use gray gamma 2.2. I don't know if I should Desaturate monitor 20% etc.

    What conversion options? What should those be?  And what about the advanced controls and what must be those defined for better photographic needs.

    I hope that's not too redundant, if it has already please send me to her.

    Judging by your screenshot I guess you run Photoshop on a PC and I hesitate to make any recommendation beyond the ones I listed. I think that. other than the installer, I suggested, all of the default settings are a safe bet.

    If my answer your request solved the problem, you can mark the correct answer. Thank you.         normftb

  • How to set the correct color profile

    From the outset: I am not an expert in this area...

    When you look at on the Internet on the management of color, color profiles, I often get a lot of text and generally intended to the "experts."

    Actually I am not so interested in all the technical details. I'm looking for rather a simple statement about how 'set' a default color profile.

    I don't know how my .icc profiles to select from...

    Material:

    Printer: Epson WorkForce Pro WF-5620 (with its color profiles)

    Monitor: HP DreamColor Z27x

    Photoshop CS6

    Windows 10 x 64

    At the launch of my pc, the monitor shows that it is set to AdobeRGB.

    Questions:

    (1) when I browse using Windows Explorer simple .png files (png with no EXIF data files, say, screenshots, or images on the Internet) and drag them in Photoshop, they are much darker and I need to make an adjustment. Which shows the Windows Explorer is about right, in Photoshop, they are much too dark.

    (2) when, after having created a PSD in Photoshop and everything seems correct, print results are bad, they are too light and I need to try to waste his time with profiles or almost to try to do things.

    Below some screenshots:

    Anyone could pleasssee... to help and give me some advice on how to implement?

    i.e. the profiles to choose where so the results on the screen are the same as that of the print.

    again, I am not an expert and I do not wish to become a :-)

    There are so many profiles to select from, I don't know...

    Thank you!

    Mylenium says:

    Simple answer: none of this is important if your system is not actually calibrated. You can set the default factory profiles all day and wear yourself out, and they will always be wrong.

    Bit of a negative attitude, wouldn't you say?

    It is not as complicated as many will have it. You think, always, in terms of source and a destination profile. You still need two profiles, and each should be a precise description of the color space that it represents.

    So, what is your source? This is your file. Fine. Adobe RGB, do, don't mess with it. Do not confuse the profile document and monitor! You need both.

    Then you have two destinations, the monitor and the printer. Each profile a detailed description. The monitor profile is implemented at the level of the system (or your Stallion will do), and Photoshop will find and use it to display the image. Again, it is a source of right > conversion of destination. Once the monitor profile is set up, no further user intervention is required.

    Then, the printer. Here you have different profiles for different media, and there is no default. You must choose the correct profile for the paper that you are using in the Photoshop print dialog box. Here you will need to also make sure that Photoshop manages colors, and then you must go to the printer driver and make sure that the printer color management is turned off. Choose the right paper here, since it controls the total amount of ink.

    That's all. If all profiles are present and correct, display and printing should now match. If you want to go further, you can set your monitor calibration target so they correspond to the document that you print on - IOW put the point of the white screen then that it is a Visual match to the white of the paper and monitor black so it corresponds to the density of the ink max for the paper.

  • Please help with the correct color settings

    I use ID CC depending on which we, my printers want my final PDF either as PDF/x-1a (I know it does with regard to Flattening) or PDF/x-4.

    I need all color images for close to CMYK, no matter what they were when placed. I need all 100 %K black to stay like this and not to convert an intense black.

    Currently, my document color settings are:

    Parameters: general use of 2 North America

    Workspaces:

    RGB: sRGB IE61966 - 2.1

    CMYK U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2

    Color management policies:

    RGB: Preserve embedded profiles

    CMYK: Preserve numbers (ignore linked profiles)

    Conversion options:

    Engine: Adobe (ACE)

    Intent: Relative Colorimetry

    I use the default settings for PDF/x-1's or PDF/x-4 (most have the ink Manager to convert all tasks to deal with) and and always receive a yellow warning with the following in general warning triangle:

    The preset specifies source profiles that do not match the current color settings file. Profiles specified by the color settings file will be used.

    What should I check in my document color settings to avoid this error message (the resulting files do appear to be OK for what I need, I want to just make sure that I put it just in case this error). Of course, other thoughts are always appreciated also.

    What should my document color settings also if the final document will be black and white (in grayscale) and contains only data on the black plate?

    Sorry to contradict the Peter a bit here, but X - 4 allows to RGB, rather than to specify it, so you can have your PDF by setting 'Convert to Destination (preserve numbers)' with an appropriate destination CMYK profile and still conform to the standard X-4.

    That's what I'm doing here, because I prefer the Adobe CMM performs the conversion.

  • InDesign PDF export does not display is not the correct colors

    So I exported my indesign document into my new CS6 software, but when I opened them all the colors are completely false. Colors will come up as gray or black, although they were gray or black in the first place.

    I took my file to another computer and exported their CS6 and the file came with all the colors, so I know that would not rather maybe my indesign file, one a software thing?

  • The eyedropper tool picks up wrong color

    In Flash CC. It seems that is the difference too much, because it only picks up the color of t Lee. Ive seen some talk about that here, but for Mac. There seems to be nothing about Windows 8. How can I fix it? Without an eyedropper tool my Flash CC is relatively useless, and I can't believe that you don't have not corrected it since 2011 when I'm if noticing first reported. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

    There is a known on OSX 10.8 with eyedropper. To get the correct color, display of system preferences must be on "sRGB IEC61966 - 2.1.

  • How can I turn off the scale for the pipette/color theme tool?

    I have a shortcut key (F13) for the eyedropper tool that speeds up the formatting for me.  With the latest version of InDesign, the pipette now shares the same space as color theme tool, when I press initially on F13 I get the theme instead of the eyedropper color tool.  Yes this happens only at first, but I don't want it to happen at all.  Is there a way I can turn off the toggle between these 2 tools so that F13 only active the eyedropper tool?

    No worries, I found this thread:

  • Adobe color, by clicking color theme displays the wrong color (PSD, I, iD, AE)

    When I create a new Adobe Color CC Web site color theme, sometimes the color theme seems to have a mind of your own. This has happened for the last few months in the I, ID, PSD and AE (CC 2015) I've just updated all the software to the latest version (Release 2015 3.0)

    I downloaded a link did not enter to my problem on my Vimeo here: Failure of the adobe color picker

    I create the color theme, then when I choose the color in After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator, or InDesign, although the colors look correct and hovering on the color theme displays the appropriate 6 numbers and colours CMYK, color once I have create a form, or select a brush, color is incorrect.

    If I play with the theme long enough by changing a few values here and there, it seems to work. But for at least this color theme, I can't have the correct color without manually typing in color, although color Adobe theme library displays the value of the appropriate color.

    Anyone having problems with the color themes and color pick up?

    Thank you

    If you don't want your color to change, use only RGB color Adobe cc. Do not click the CMYK option.

  • Photo Viewer seem to use the incorrect color profile.

    I created a color profile by using X-Rite color grading equipment.   All my programs on my PC Windows 7 display the colors correctly except the photo viewer that shows all the colors in the dark.

    For example in Photoshop or Microsoft Office Picture Manager, you can see the details in the shadows, but with the same photo in Photo Viewer, the shadows are so dark that they don't see all the details and all the colors seem much more dark and intense.

    I used to use windows XP and did not have this problem.   Color calibration equipment is new and I use the latest version of the X-rite software on my Samsung SyncMaster monitor.  I found this same problem on another computer in Windows 7 with another Samsung monitor, but I don't think that its really a Samsung problem because I can not find another program except Windows 7 photo viewer that has this problem.

    I want to continue to use the Windows Photo Viewer, because it is quick and easy and is well integrated into other windows functions.
    I think it would be a simple solution to tell the photo viewer to use the correct color profile or simply to increase the brightness in Photo Viewer, but I can't find where is the setting.

    Thanks for any help to solve this problem.

    Success! ICC v2 switch fixed it. Thanks Alexander_L and dphildphil

  • Cannot make the fx color correction without getting the image of strobe

    Cannot make the fx color correction or blur fx with masks without getting the image to strobe. Do not return in the sequence, or export without the video strobe effect. It is clearly a problem since at least 2011 because I saw some forum posts dating back that far. Don't know how or why it is always a question 5 years later. I have the correction color fx on an adjustment layer that makes very well. Leave color and blur fx on a couple of individual clips is whats creating the problem. Does anyone have a solution? It does not appear that I can wait for Adobe.

    At this point, I would create a sequence for each clip (in the garbage, make a right click, create sequence and apply the FX it) then replace the clips in the mixture with the sequences.  -Test this point by one before they go crazy.

    OR, using the idea of sequence preceding above, return on a new clip with holiday color applied to replace as new originals in the mixture.

    Third idea: replace the clips with linked AE comp and try the color of leave which are.

    In short, do what you can to take the color of leave out of the final equation.
