• 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.

• Pipette selects the wrong color

  I'm using Photoshop CS5 (version 12.1 x 64).

  When I try to use the eyedropper tool on a thin (1-4 pixel) form (both pathed and raster) he chooses the wrong color and didn't give me a light, similar color.

  See below:

  

  It's me by clicking on the right in the middle of this red line using the "slider pricision" and she chose this rose color.

  I did not have this problem in earlier versions of Photoshop.

  Anyone know why this is happening?

  See the eyedropper tool - you set to sample an area larger than a single pixel, so it's the mix of the white circle with your red line.

  That is right. The requires iTunes 12.3.3 and in order to get it, you will need to update OS X to El Capitan. That's how Apple has created for better or worse, I'm sorry.

• color picker selects the wrong color

  When to use the Eyedropper to select a color in the document, I'm working on (for example, wanting to turn a knob to the same color as something else on the page), it has begun to choose a different version of the color.

  must be a setting I messed up, but anyone know where I can fix this?

  Thank you very much.

  

  Is it possible that the size of the sample in the Options bar is set to one of the greatest settings?.

• 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

  Chris

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

• choice of the wrong color for a selected link

  Why is the color of a link selected in the bookmarks so light? I'm having a very difficult time to locate the last bookmark link so that I can go to the following. How can I change this to something either darker and easier to see?

  That always looks like something that can be fixed by choosing another theme, so try to give him another chance with a few other Windows themes.

• PS CS6 - convert to profile - overview of the wrong color with AdobeRGB-> conversion AdobeRGB.

  Hello

  I discovered what seems like a small bug for me in CS6 (compared to PS CS3 and CS4).

  I would be inteterested if others could confirm this (or explain it to me)

  When using Convert to profile, AdobeRGB-> bugs 'conversion' AdobeRGB in preview. Since there is no actual conversion, the preview is the same but on the contrary shows a strong change contrast.

  This is my workflow:

  -Working color space: sRGB (I use Europe General Purpose 3 preset)

  -Open a document in AdobeRGB (kept original profile, no prior conversion to sRGB), no trial activated

  -I run "Convert to profile", a Source RGB Adobe's profile. Now, if I go to the Destination profile: AdobeRGB (which is of course "useless"), I see a color change in the preview image. If I run the conversion, the image returns to normal, so it only works on the preview. Note that conversion to other profiles as sRGB does not give a wrong look.

  
  "Convert to profile" settings are engine: Adobe (ACE), intent: Relative Colorimetry, Dither and use black point compensation. Changing these settings is not to fix the bug I'm mentioning.

  This Visual bug only affects AdobeRGB-> conversion AdobeRGB (even once, Yes, I know, it's useless)

  I tested the issue on two separate machines (Windows 7, PS CS6 x 64)

  Do you feel the same questions?

  Thank you!

  This has been reported before, and can be easily reproduced.  I never heard that it's any kind of feature - I'm with you: Bug.

  I suspect because it is a problem of read-only and does not affect the image quality and it's absurd kind of operation in any case, Adobe has assigned a lower priority level than pretty much everything else.

  But if it were my software I'd be certainly embarrassed that she did this.

• Fill in the wrong color of fill color?

  I use Illustrator and I want to fill in some shade, but it keeps the filling in a shade darker on my object. When I click on the color square, she appears as the color I initially tried but is not the grade specified in the object. It worked great for the first few fillings, now it always tells a darker shade of the color I want. How can I fix it? I am running OSX 10.9.5

  Got a copy of the file that you can share on Dropbox or similar. What is the color mode of the document and or the color Panel? Both the same?

• My problem is the wrong color on a HP Designjet 90R printer (Q6656B # model)

  Impressions I made yesterday are way out of colorwise.  They appear especially orange where there should be no orange.  The parts must be orange are very orange.  Blues look a little purplish.  Greens don't show at all.

  I thought it might be a profile in initially and possibly problem, a problem of Photoshop CS5, because I have read there are some printing problems with CS5, (it was the first time I printed with CS5), but I printed using CS5, CS4, and CS3.  CS5 and CS4 were on a Vista machine the CS3 on my laptop with XP.  I tried printing with different profile settings including one that Photoshop has been lacking for years.  All the results were bad.

  One thing I discovered while poking around the printer was the printhead cover right hinge is broken.  I don't know the part that you pull to the front of the printer, lift, and then again to release.  It wobbles when released and when locked it appears on the left side of the cover is a little lower than the right side.  This may cause a problem printing?

  I don't know what else to say that I am no expert in this.

  I would appreciate any assistance.

  Thank you.

• The eyedropper tool does not work on mac + wacom

  Well - spent months and yet no update. The eyedropper tool won't come color using a wacom + a mac... and when you do that with the trackpad is not always the same exact color. I don't understand why this has not been set. The problem with the wrong color lasts for years--picking the wacom/mac problem lasts for at least 6 months. Please... put some serious effort into your product AND support.

• Pick color with the eyedropper loads in the background color

  I'm not sure what would have caused this, but now all of a sudden, whenever I click on a color with the eyedropper tool, it loads this color in the background color instead of the sample of foreground. If I hold down the Option key and click, it loads in the sample of foreground, then the behavior is backwards. How to switch this back?

  It looks like somehow the default color sample is activated in the color Panel.

  In photoshop, go to the window > color

  Then click on the foreground swatch to make that the default.

  The default color chart always has a white or grey outside line.

  Printed how?

  I opened the PDF file in Acrobat, check that the values are what you expect (using the output preview feature) and then printed on a Postscript printer.  Everything is good!

  Both Inkscape and Gimp are RGB-based applications, so that they need to convert CMYK to RGB data, why it moves in these applications.  You should consider using the data of color management if you want it to work correctly.

• Adjust the background color to match the specific shade

  Hello!

  I was instructed to clean a few images from a studio session. Either the background seamless was the wrong color, or was invaded by evil and its color must be adjusted slightly. I have isolated the backdrop as its own layer and simply adjust its color to match a specific shade (RGB, CMYK # s provided). There is a certain gradient due to the installation of lighting, so it will not be uniform everywhere, but it's OK.

  I do not see how to adjust hue, saturation, brightness in the options I tried (adaptation layer, replace color etc), which lead me to the eye there. I need to enter the RGB or CMYK #s and apply to adjust the color of the background (layer) together. Cannot know what I'm missing here.

  Appreciate any help! Thank you!

  When you sample the color you want to match, write these numbers.

  Now, on the background you want to adjust in order to match the colors that you noted, raising some adjustment tool to use, I use the hue and Saturation, for example.

  The color eyedropper sampler allows you to place a sampler on the background area that you need to change the color that you want to match.

  Now, you'll notice there are distributed the values in the range of information if you look at the values of the sampler. In this case #1 (see screenshot)
  The value on the left is the original sample value, the number on the right represents the new value when you move the sliders in the parameters of adjustment layers. Keep these move around until you get the number to reach the numbers you noted at the beginning. Be warned, the numbers on the sliders are not relevant to a certain extent. You make adjustments while watching the Info palette.
  

  See above, I've adjusted the main value and saturation, and you can see the RGB values on the #1 sampler is different. When those numbers coincide with everything what I'm trying to correspond with as a value of the sample, you should be good. Although my value is defined in RGB, I would recommend colors you sample and football game, as HSB values. It is easier, then by a channel with RGB match.

  Good luck!
