• What is the disadvantage of savings WITHOUT color profile for the web?

  I have discussed this issue in another thread and a clear argument against saving jpg files * without * a color profile must be performed.

  I'm very annoyed with how much more red and saturated, all my jpg files appear in IE (which does not read the sRGB embedded profile) compared to FF (which is the case).

  I tried to save the image even with the inclusion of unchecked color profile, and of course, IE and FF are showing the same image.

  It seems to me that including color profiles with jpg are just an invitation for different browsers interpret the image differently.

  Why not just save them all, WITHOUT color profiles?

  The downside to this, what exactly?

  True, without color managed programs and management the colors may not display an image in the same way. Except in the situation where the color profile describing the color of the image or the color values of an image without a color profile, by an extraordinary chance match the display capabilities of color of the device used by the program managed without colors.

  One of the problems that the addresses of color management is that all monitors will display the same color differently. Color management will make colors appear the same or as close as possible.

  A color managed program will send the RGB values of the color of the video card corrected to compensate for the differences between how your monitor displays color values and how they are perceived.

  For example, to help my Monitor wide gamut, when I create an image in Photoshop, with a red color pure R = 255, G = 0 and B = 0 and then do a screen capture, I can check how Photoshop sends these values to the video card. The result is R = 222, G = 65, B = 0 when I'm simulating an ideal sRGB display. So I can see how my colors appear on the screens of ideal sRGB. However, in reality, it is very likely to have a monitor displaying space sRGB color ideal without a color management, so to complete the color management chain, the other monitors that display my image must also have the appropriate color management to compensate for the differences in screen and display correctly RGB numbers representing the color that I see on my screen.

  Who will most likely be a bad smell, which means not repoducing the expected color which is always the case with the browsers managed without colors.

  Yes, the image will be the same in both browsers on your and any other monitor but the colors that you create (edit) will examine the way which only see you them on your monitor.

  I don't remember talking about this earlier, but yes, it's true.

  mjyeager wrote:

  ... It's true. I have no control over that. However, how including the color profile sRGB with the JPG would give me more control over these things I would not include? Unless you had to tell me that browsers arbitrarily apply a random color profile when in the absence of one, I am simply not understand how including the color with the JPG profile performs one another act that ensure that the picture is completely different in FF it does in Internet Explorer.

  You who are absolutely wrong. Color management is not to have any control over how other devices are setup, calibrated, etc.. As I said earlier make sure you communicate the colors scheduled correctly or as close as possible, as long as you and the destination use the proper color management. This means that the embedded profile FF will display correctly the planned colors while IE will not. If you do not include a color profile with your image both FF and IE will not display correctly the planned colors but they will be equal in that.

  mjyeager wrote:

  ... I understand the need for color profiles to print. In fact, my printer insists on the details when it comes to color profiles.

  But for the web? I'm still not understand where the downside is to omit the color profile. It's not like the browsers get CONFUSED when it is not included. Or that the colors will start randomly from refreshing one page to another.

  I am really trying to understand what you are saying here, but still haven't.

  In addition to what Marian said:

  If you create the colors using an sRGB display ideal (given the color management on your system works properly, it can be simulated by color of Photoshop on your range management widescreen when you assign the profile sRGB color to the image) and then on any ideal sRGB display, it will look the same you see on your screen regardless if it's with or without embedded sRGB color profile. However, in reality, it is unlikely to have a monitor, sRGB, display of the ideal space of sRGB color without color management. Now what does this mean in practice? Assume that users interested in, using the IE managed without colors on a PC with the Windows default color management. In other words, color management programs are told by the system monitor displays the ideal sRGB space, which is very likely to be the truth. Then users with this configuration with sRGB monitors will not see a difference between IE and FF when viewing your image with or without sRGB profile, the colors are not very likely to be the same that you see on the screen, but with the difference that is more likely to be accepted depending on how close to the ideal color space sRGB these monitors are. If some of these users with this configuration have wide range monitors, then the image will always be the same with or without sRGB profile, but with a very unacceptable difference of how you see it on your space to sRGB sumulated - strongly supersaturated.

  For users that have the color correctly managed systems, when the image is saved with a sRGB profile, it appears color managed programs such as FF the same or as close as possible to the way in which you can see on your monitor. Programs run without colors the case remains the same as that described above.

  A little history on how standard sRGB was created. It is a standard, including more things, but above all defining an abstract color space. It was created sometime after that the market was already flooded with computer monitors, and the creation of ideal sRGB color space was based on an average PC monitor display capabilities over time. After that the manufacturers used this standard sRGB as a target to create monitors.

  UN-color of programs run on PC have been created and tested using sRGB monitors so that they can't be considered reliable for showing intended to display colors if the images they use have been created using an sRGB they will be in the stadium of this range of sRGB.

• Exactly what are the Pantone colors?

  Hello: Level: starting new operating system: Win 7 64 bit

  I came across something today, everything in familiar me with Illustrator and Photoshop and I tried Google, but I'm not so good with the keywords.

  I would like to know exactly what colors are Pantone and whether they are for web use or they are projects which are intended to be printed.

  Thank you for your time

  Kara

  You can start here, Kara:

  http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/PANTONE

  For many of us, they are the ultimate reference when it comes to print, and they are often used as the basis for the choice of values CMYK, not only as substitutes, but probably more often as inspiration. And also as a source of inspiration for the choice of the RGB for the web and all that.

• The simplest to create hex color Swatch chart for the Web?

  Hi, we have a Web site concept in Illustrator CS3, with nuances appointed for all colors. I wonder if there is a way easy or "semi-automatic" to generate a graph of the cookies we use, here showing hex values?

  I know I could draw a bunch of boxes, fill them with the colors of the swatch and manually search and type the hex values for each. But it would a time LONG, there are a number of color variations.

  -An automated for this solution? Actions? The scripts? Plugins?

  Thank you!

  ... never understood why it's not default or why anyone would want colors NOT to be global...

  I quite agree. Indeed, argued that for years.

  It's even worse: model Illustrator Javascript foolishly think Global color chart is Spot color swatches. This alert is a simple script that checks the color property of the Swatch:

  

  Download the script again and try now. Be aware that there is a glitch or two that you may or may not meet. If you run the script and you get an error saying something to the effect that 'name' can not be found this: dismiss the alert. Double-click one of the witnesses as if you want to change. Then close the Edit Swatch dialog box. The Hex names would probably then appear.

  I have not yet found the cause of this. It happens always. I am not yet convinced that it is not a bug having to do with the Swatch Palette do not update. (There are other manifestations of this problem in Illustrator).

• Show the bright tones in CMYK color mode?

  I don't know how I didn't notice this before. In Illustrator CC 2015, if I create a CMYK document and specify a spot (LAB values) of the range color off it automatically displays the dull color in CMYK values. Why is this? Is not any interest to be able to create vector files with tasks? Overview of overprinting resolves, but is it possible to do this by default and does not require preview overprinting?

  (Stayed at this time, apparently never noticed this discrepancy)

  brunnjon,

  I'm afraid only once in CMYK mode, you see the (more terrible close) CMYK equivalents.

• What is your best way to center align two objects without moving one of them?

  I would greatly appreciate your advice.

  Use the align palette and define an object as a key object. Choose align to: and that is defined on the object key (if not already set)

  

  1. Select a group
  2. Shift click to add the next group to the selection
  3. then click on a group to set this as a key object (the sketch will turn into a "BOLD" since CS4 to mean is a key object)
  4. Choose alignment in the Align Panel

• Transparency in the CMYK color mode

  Windows XP Pro, Photoshop CS3

  It seems we can keep only transparencies of background if the image file is saved in PNG or GIF format. It also seems that a cannot be saved in these formats of files if the graph is in CMYK color mode - be mode RBG to do. How can I keep the image with transparency to CMYK?

  Why don't you just stick with the Native PSD format? I don't understand why you feel the need to go with PNG and GIF. PSD, PDF or TIF seem like more appropriate file format. Explain a bit more on your end goals could give us more guidance as to the best solution for you.

  

• What is the best way to record movies on PC and change the names of video files?

  Names of files dvr - ms MCE?

  I use Win XP, SP3, MCE 2005 and I want to change the file name of some of the videos saved on my computer.  Currently I use MCE to record movies at home on my computer and then burn them to DVD.  I plugged the VCR/camcorder for video on computer TV card and MCE set to record 1 channel at say 20:00 and turn my VCR/camcorder to play at this time.  MCE records the film as if it were a recorded TV show.  A few questions:

  Is there a better way to do it?  The home movies are on different formats - Betamax, VHS, camcorder Sony 8 and mini DVD.

  The file is saved with descriptive as - news channel 1, channel information (Direct TV channel label), 20:00, 2 h,-where is this kind of things saved info and I can change it?  If I can change it, what format should I use?

  The video file is saved in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Shared Documents\Shared Video\... and the name of the file to this location seems to match the name of the actual file displayed in MCE - but if I want to change to say "Christmas" birthday 2005, can I do without corrupting the file?  What format constraints are there for the name of the file?

  Is there a better way to change the description and the name than just using windows and right-click on the file and selecting rename?

  And just to repeat the first question - is there a better way to record movies on the computer?

  Thank you

  Scott

  Hi Scott,.

  According to the research, the method you follow is the best way to record movies on computer.

  You will need to look for a program that helps you edit metadata.

• What is the best way to achieve this?

  What is the best to do the following?

  Form1 lists items that have a cost value

  Form2 is a form of invoice

  What is the best way to export goods of a value of cost of form1 to form2?

  A user would be making selections of point in form1 and save the form, and then send it or export data.

  Then form2 would retrieve the selections point of form1 and display cost values that I can sum up at the end of the form2.

  Thanks in advance for any advice!

  Hello

  If both forms have the same objects to the items and the same names, then export to xml of form1 and import of xml in form2 should work.

  Data in the xml file that does not match the names of the objects to form2 will be ignored.

  In both forms, objects that you want to export/import must have their liaison, the normal/name of the object value > Bindings tab.

• What is the best way to buy an iPhone Unlocked 7?

  Hi all

  I am currently using T-Mobile and want to get the new iPhone 7. Since there is no option for a sim-free iPhone, what is the best way to buy the new iPhone? Should I get the T-Mobile one full fare? I know that he will be released version but it will come with a T-Mobile sim so what will do with the sim card? Put it away or give it to T-Mobile? Or should I wait for the version without card sim to appear, which I don't think that will come out until November, and I don't want to wait that long.

  Thank you in advance.

  If you do not want to wait to pay full price for the model from T-Mobile.  You can do whatever you want with the SIM card.

• What is the best way to copy the 700 lots of e-mail files to a new computer?

  I'm moving my wife and an old (Thunderbird, Win XP) computer to a new computer (Thunderbird Win 7). It has about 700 local folders with thousands of emails in them. What is the best way to copy to the new computer?

  The easiest is just to copy the whole profile.

  Menu help > troubleshooting information

  Close Thunderbird

  In windows Explorer, select all and copy.
  just stick on a thumb or other portable media to read/write (not the CD or the DVD)

  on the new Machine to repeat the troubleshooting and close the steps to get the current profile folder

  This time all the portable media stick in the profile to replace what is there

  Open Thunderbird, your additions of e-mail contacts does it all
