CorelDRAW X5 :: Colour Profiles And Palettes
Dec 1, 2011
I've recently converted from X3 to X5 and I'm having multiple problems with colors, I'm running the current program on windows 7:
1. X5 is not remembering the colors on my X3 files, even though I have the custom palette open in X5 it's still coming up as CMYK when I look at the colors on the X3 file. Is this something to do with embedding color profiles on X3? If so how is this done? on X5 it's as simple as ticking a box when saving as. I've also noticed my custom palette is saved as .cpl file and the default for X5 is .xml, although X5 has opened up the .cpl file and it has converted it to an .xml file.
2. When printing an X3 eps file it seems to come out a different color to a X5 eps. This made me think that this must be due to color settings when converting the file to an eps, but the same thing happens with pdfs. Why should a X3 eps / pdf be printing differently to an X5 eps / pdf?

I have just installed CS6 standard. I would like to put my colour profiles in Photoshop CS6 under Mountain Lion from CS5. Those files are most used for printing from a wide inkjet printer. Where do I put the colour profiles? I am not sure if the colour profiles need updated or not.

I'm having a very strange issue with colour management in Photoshop CS2 currently.
Photoshop seems to be calibrating all documents in a strange way on only *one* monitor. If I drag the file across to the other monitor the colour is completely different.
Of course it sounds like my monitors being off, however when dragging the file across monitors Photoshop slowly updates the colours for the next monitor. You can see it display the wrong colour at first, then correct it (hopefully that makes sense).

I have lots of pictures around 3000+ and I need to remove the duplicates. There has to be a better way than just eye balling through them all and removing them manually. Can I sort of pictures by colour profiles so that if photoshop scans an image and recognizes the colour trend or whatever and tries to find another picture in the same folder with the same or similar colour profile and group them so I can see if they match or not?

Yesterday when I opened a black and white image from LR4 to Photoshop CS6 they opened as RGB-sRGB, today after doing an update to both photoshop and camera raw they now open up with an embedded profile mismatch of gray gamma with the option to change the working profile to dot gain 20%. I don't recall seeing these options before, looking in edit-colour settings I don't have any options to change to RGB.
I can of course change the settings to RGB in image-mode and also in edit-convert to profile but this would be a real pain to do this everytime I want to work with b/w.

I haven't had this problem in CS5 photoshop but when I upgraded to CS6 photoshop I followed the recommended settings like using ProPhoto RBG.I edit in the working space colour management but not always have the same results on screen...have calibrated my monitor.
Then when it does look correct on screen and I re-import into Photoshop, my picture turns out bright red and I need to use Adobe RBG (1998). I am saving the pictures with the profile embedded, works better with Adobe RBG.What should I be using as the settings as well as management policies - currently Preserve Embedded Profiles?I don't want to have nice looking pictures in Photoshop and then have them print incorrectly or look terrible on another monitor

I just installed the drivers for an Epson 4900. The new profiles don't show up in the color management in the print module. I'm using a Mac with mountain lion.

I wish to see only the printer profiles that I create in the Photoshop CS6 print settings - Colour Management - Printer Profiles drop down list.
I wish to delete, or at least to move to a holding folder, all the unwanted colour profiles listed in that drop down list. I have seen reference to the location in Windows 7 of colur profiles as being in the following folder
WindowsSystem32SpoolDriversColor
However, I cannot find a Spool folder on my system, so can get nowhere. how to remove unused colour profiles used by Photoshop.

the record I am using Photoshop 7 (yes it's old, but it suits my needs just fine!) and Windows Vista Home Premium.What I do is take photographs of my artworks, edit them in Photoshop until they look accurate, then post them online. Images have always looked identical in every program, and I had never had any problems, until I got connected to the Internet on Tuesday. This computer has not been connected to the net for a good few years, and so lots of updates got installed. I'm not sure which ones exactly, as my boyfriend took care of that, but I'm convinced this has caused the problems I am having now:
First I found that an image I had edited and saved as .jpg for web use was showing up overly saturated and contrasty in the Windows Photo Gallery preview. I assumed I had saved it wrongly. I re-opened the jpg in Photoshop to check - it looked exactly as I had saved it. I figured something had messed up with Photo Gallery during updates, so I uploaded the jpg to the Internet. The image that uploaded was the overly-saturated, contrasty one.
After realising that suddenly ALL the images I had uploaded online, and all the images saved on my computer, now had this awful over-saturated look, and yet the thumbnails on my desktop looked fine... I realised it must be something to do with the colour profiles, and tried to find out the answer online. My monitor colour profile was set to "21.5 inch monitor" so I changed that to sRGB as default. I can't remember what Photoshop was set to, but at any rate I set it to sRGB also.
I thought I had it fixed, as it seemed to just be Photo Gallery that was not matching up (it was displaying my images with less saturation than as I saved them).However today I took a new photo of a drawing I'm working on, to load onto my blog. I had to take it into Photoshop to make edits and correct, as always. I opened my photo in Photoshop... lo and behold, far too contrasty and saturated!!
This time, Windows Photo Gallery preview is showing the (unedited, straight out of camera) photo as it should be... Photoshop opens it too contrasty.I made my edits anyway, saved for web as .jpg, checked the jpg in Photo Gallery before uploading... It saved duller than it should have done!
Uploaded the jpg to the internet... and I have the dull image uploaded.
So first they were too contrasty, now they're too dull. Being an artist who displays work online and has a certain reliance on the internet... my images have to be accurate and consistent all the way through. Is there anything I can do to set things back to the way they were before?

I cannot change printer profiles in Colour Management on PSE10. Whenever I try to do this it looks like I have changed it, and click OK...but when I check back it has actually not taken effect and has defaulted back to the original stored profile. Consequently I cannot use different paper types now. This has only just started happening and was ok before. I am using Mac OS 10.7.5 along with an Epson R3000.

Any way to change one whole color palette to another color palette without having to go change each individual color. What i have is a color chart set up with one color palettes colors set up, and i need to change this whole chart over to another color palette. I have read where you can go in and use the replace wizard for color model or palette, but when i go to choose the palette to replace it already has a set selection of palettes to choose from. How to choose other palettes from my computer.

I am trying to edit a custom palette externally and have successfully done it in the past but now Draw is "breaking" my new palette.
I created a new palette within Corel Draw and added a single color. This is to create the XML file and generate a unique GUID. I can open and the close this palette with no issues. I can add colors via Draw with no issues. I then close Draw. I then open the file with a text editor (NotePad) and add the code for my new colors (pulled from a spread sheet). My code matches the code in the Draw-generated palette color. It also matches the code from another palette I successfully created over a year ago. The file saves just fine and can be reopened in the text editor. I then reopen Draw but my palette name is no longer in the palette list. Then if I manually try and add the palette by opening it, it opens but strips all colors. Then if I open the XML file with the text editor, the GUID is now all zeros and all colors have been stripped from the file. I have tried rebuilding the workspace and rebooting the PC but neither option seems to work.
PS here is a sample line of code for one of the colors I am trying to add.
"<color
cs="RGB" name="RLM00 Wasserhell"
tints="0.980392156862745,0.968627450980392,0.945098039215686"/>"

I was trying to get white on my open color pallets and inadvertently messed them up and got something named "defrgb.xml" with a blank box and now I can't get any color pallets to come up. I have even uninstalled and re-installed to no avail. How do I get this situation back to normal?

I have a custom palette set on two machines. If I save a file on one and then open it on the other, the second machine does not recognize the custom colors and leaves the object blank. I can click on the palette and correct this but can I set it so that the colors will load correctly when I open the files.

I'm using Corel Draw X5 and I can't figure out how to add or edit colours in the CMYK (default) Custom Colour Palette. In X3 and earlier versions it was quite easy to add new colours and edit existing ones. I would also like to know how to move the order of the colours in the palette so that I can put one a custom colour near the top.
FYI I would like make these changes to the master / global CMYK palette, not just the one for a specific document palette.

I work 99% in RGB, how can I turn off the save color profile.
Under default color management:
Color Profiles: RGB= adobe RGB
cmyk use less than 1%
Primary color mode = RGB
Color Management polices:
RGB = assign default color profile
CYMK = convert to default color profile
grayscale = assign default color profile
import & paste:
RGB = assign default color profile
CYMK = convert to default color profile
grayscale = assign default color profile
Almost every time it wants to default to cymk , which i don't want as I use RGB

I am creating a CMYK document. After converting a reference photo to CMYK I imported it into my DRAW file. I will use that to pick colors.
The problem: the eyedropper tools work correctly capturing CMYK colors as long as it is not in a powerclip. If I place that image in a powerclip the eyedropper tool only sees RGB.
Is there a setting somewhere that I need to make or am I stuck just working outside of the Powerclip? I have plenty of alternative ways to workaround this issue, just didn't know if this was a bug or something.
CORRECTION: It's not the Powerclip at all. It has to do with whether or not I have the layer locked. Unlocked = CMYK, locked=RGB. ?
Also, changing the Edit Across Layers setting seems to be a problem as well.

I am having some issues with surface profiles on a dreffed alignment no updating dynamically.
Currently it requires me to set them to static, then back to dynamic and they update.
I am well aware of the issue of dreffed surface profiles staying static. I am using the work around of dreffing in the surface and sampling in the drawing using the dreffed alignment.

I've got a problem where 'embed color profiles' keeps turning back on. But not just for me, everyone at my company. If you don't notice, then it ads 500+ K that's half a meg and on 1000's of drawings.
Idea for sorting through all of my CDR files and striping out the color profiles without opening each one by hand?

We hit a weird snag. All our text used to be 100% black (c=0 m=0 y=0 & k=100) On opening files the black is now a mixture of CMYK.We changed default color profiles last week. Could this effect all files? f so - what are the original clr setting for Coreldraw X5 or how can we reset them?

Trying to find ICC Profiles. I am a college student going for my BS in Photography. Our assignment is to take photo paper from three different manufactures and download the ICC Profiles for each of our papers chosen. Let me tell you this is not as easy as it seems! Where I can find the profiles for Adobe PS for different types of photo paper. Each manufacture only gives the ICC profile for their products. No scanned profiles are available.

I'm looking for a way to search for a PMS colour in coreldraw X6. When I open the fill command, I'm presented with a number of different ways to choose a colour, but I cannot search for one. I have the pantone colour 174U and I'd like to be able to type it in and have it show. I do not know the cmky, or rgb values. I can view all kinds of pantone systems, but they are not in numerical order so I can't search that way either. Is there some area I'm missing that lets me type in the 174U and it shows up?

We have four Corel X6. All on Win7 64bit.
When using Publish to PDF we need to keep our name on the colour CutContour. This works perfect on three pc's but on one pc, name is CutContour in Corel but on PDF it is renamed to C0 M100 Y100 K1. As I mentioned it works perfect on 3 other machines. In PDF settings I use Native colour. I guess it must be in PDF settings under colour. But settings seems to be the same.

When browsing Flip board earlier I came across this article: [URL].......
I tried to replicate the background shown in this screenshot in CorelDRAW X6, but had trouble making the gradient, with orange on top then both green and blue beneath. While I can make the gradient use three colors, they are in a line, unlike the screenshot where they are next the each other both horizontally and vertically.

I'd like to ask if it is possible to change colour of outline according to filling. I've traced the raster picture (outline tracing) and there is no outline and the picture seems to be disturbed by tiny white lines. So I'd add hair outline and I'd like to have the same colour of the outline as is the object. Is there any function what is able change it at once and all at the same time?
