Why does my color chart disappear randomly?

I have a MAC and use CS4.

Sometimes, when I use illustrator my color chart is here and easy access, to change the colors or values... blahlblahblah

Other times I have No color swatches in my window color, and no cursor no bars in the color slider window (no values can be adjusteded / no bar to adjust)

If I use the menu bar in the box color (top-right) and change the CMYK or RGB colors, I can change the color.

It's a bit annoying, because I can't understand why this happens.

I would like to show you guys a screenshot, but like I said it happens to chance...

When you open an image pixel, PDF or EPS rather than an Illustrator file or rather than create a new file, there will be no shade.

  • Why does my Net connection disappear spontaneously?

    Recently, I had a problem where very well work my connection to the Internet, then all of a sudden he disappeared. The browser (any browser) gives me messages about being unable to find the server. Remedies, I tried:

    1. by using the option "Repair" of the system tray icon that accesses my Internet connection. Repair always freezes during the disconnection. Furthermore, the option 'Status' says my connection is excellent, but it's probably just between my wireless adapter and the AT & T wi - fi antenna.
    2. unplug the AT & T wi - fi antenna power, wait 30 seconds and in him plugging back in. This is one of the AT & T recommended methods of troubleshooting. Does not work for me.

    Here's what works, and the reason I think that the problem is in my PC and not with AT & T DSL service. If I use the power button before on my tower to completely power off, wait a few seconds, then starts upward, the problem is solved. What hassle.  Oh, the reason why I do not use start > Shutdown is that it has also stopped working. He goes as far as a blue screen and just hangs there.

    For reference, I try to keep my tidy HD. Enough free space, regular defrag, all Microsoft updates, run the tool to check disk with the fix option activated, etc..

    Here are the 12 entries of observer of events leading up to the last spontaneous disconnect from the Internet. I doubt it is useful, because the disconnection occurred at about 09:30, much later than the last recorded event.

  • Why does my use button disappears?

    So I create this flash game for our company 2010 halloween greeting card and I am having some problems.  What it is is a swf with balloons randomly moving upward.  Each ball is a clip that has another movie clip "button" on the inside.  When you click on each ball, the ball appears and then recreates himself.  The only problem is that the button inside the bubble does not act as a button all the time.

    The upward movement is called by an enterFrame event listener and the use of the button goes in and out the ball moves to the top.   It's a pain because you have to click the ball several times in order to get the ball to pop.  Does anyone know why this is or if there is an alternative to the enterFrame?

    You can currently see the game here to see what I mean.  You will notice that the balloons are still not clickable.  You can download the FLA here.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I tried to crack this nut for a few hours now.  I tried setInterval as the only alternative and so far not to go.  Thank you!

    Jesse

    that looks like you have something on the balloons (interfering with mouse events) who move to stadium-top.  to the back of the stage, there is no problem.

    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.

    This is a function I wrote to review some documents and draw from their shades. We have a naming system for our color charts and it matches the ID to choose one to add.
    My problem is that it adds the perfectly fine nuances (both the element and the Swatch Library for the current document with the name, id, and the correct information), but then when you add a new shade, it completely ERASES the nuances in the library of the current document, while keeping color on layers.

    Is there something I am doing wrong? It looks like a bug in artificial intelligence more than anything else - why add a completely shade would eliminate my Swatch Library?

    Thank you.

    I don't know if this applies to you, but I have had what seems like a similar problem earlier on a project that copies the nuances between the documents in question.

    The gist of the problem is that when you copy a shade from one document to the other the swatch.color object stores the parent document as a property according to the type of color (IE SpotColor). When you put this swatch.color in a new document or different this property retains its value of document parent and seem to cause issues such as the nuances that disappears or swatches get renamed to "deleted the overall color" because I guess that the parent of shades is linked to another document.

    So, where I orginally had something like the following for all colors:

    var swatchInfo = oldDocRef.swatches.getByName('MyColor');
    var newSwatch = newDocRef.swatches.add();
    newSwatch.color = swatchInfo.color;
    newSwatch.name = swatchInfo.name;
    

    She had to be added differently depending on the type of color:

    var swatchInfo = oldDocRef.swatches.getByName('MyColor');
    switch(swatchInfo.color.typename) {
      case 'CMYKColor':
      var newSwatch = newDocRef.swatches.add();
      newSwatch.color = swatchInfo.color;
      newSwatch.name = swatchInfo.name;
      break;
      case 'SpotColor':
      var newSwatch = newDocRef.spots.add();
      newSwatch.color = swatchInfo.color.spot.color;
      newSwatch.colorType = swatchInfo.color.spot.colorType;
      newSwatch.name = swatchInfo.name;
      break;
    }
    

    So basically if it is a spot color, you need to dig into the subject of color, so you do not copy the parent property. Still not sure if this is your exact problem but maybe a value of a control.

  • Why has my laptop started to randomly stop before turning off

    Original title: computer power questions

    Why has my laptop started to randomly stop before turning off? I had no problem with this computer at all for more than a year. I tried to run all the updates available, but of course, it turned off before she finished. Sometimes it will run fine then others that it is a nightmare. can anyone help please? I would be very happy to help!

    Hello

    Could be heat related - try using a small fan to blow into the air intakes to see if that helps.
    It is just like it loses power or stop it in the normal way?

    Remove ALL power and reinstall all the memory cards and cables (both ends where possible).
    in fact, remove and replace - don't do not just tight. Remove the dust bunnies and clean the
    air vents. Check that fans are working (before and after opening the case). When your laptop on all the
    You can do is to reinstall the memory and clean the vents (still may try to add a small fan as a
    test).

    This sounds like material so if the above does not help you then probably need the help of a
    real computer store (not of leeks and glances at a Best Buy or other department stores) or the system
    Support from the manufacturer.

  • 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.

  • Suggestions to save commonly used color charts

    I could save a lot of time if I had an easy way to load and update a range of shade for Premiere Pro.  Because the color picker does not include an option for the recently used colors, constantly, I type in the numeric values for customer color schemes and useful colors.  Am I missing something here?

    Don't know if there is a way to generate the nuances in the first (although I guess you could make a screenshot and download that), what I do is to load the color chart at the Ps library or have

    and then to use these samples as samples of color for the first color picker
