View 11 Replies View RelatedAny plugin or something that gathers all the colors within a given image and allows you to save the pallete in another image...If you seen a sprite sheet thats pretty much what Im asking for.It'd be cool if the colors were sorted by how dark it was and by RGB.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI use RGB for almost everything I do.
I've got everything set to work in RGB, no problem. New documents are created in RGB. My palette on the right of the screen is always RGB unless I load an existing non-RGB document. Everything saves in RGB and prints in RGB.
Except...when working on something and attempting to change or apply a Line Color or Fill Color, I will click on the color option, a Color Dialog window appears...and if I click on Palette, the Pantone Spot color palette appears.
I physically have to go in every time, bring up the palette tree, and hunt for the RGB palette. I never had to do this with earlier versions...I always got the RGB palette as the first choice, maybe based on the last used?
I've gone through all the setup options and customizations. I can't find where to set the RGB palette as the default in this procedure.
I'm trying to display the RGB palette in CorelDRAW x5. When I open the Palette Manager, the usual palettes are listed i.e. "Shades of Gray", "CMYK" etc. When display the various palettes by clicking the "Eye" icon next to them, they all display as expected with the exception of the RGB palette. Although it doesn't display, I can see its (bottom-left) shadow. Put another way: it seems to be displaying just off-screen to the right.
Any way to get it to display correctly?
FYI: Some time back, I used two monitors and I may have left the palette floating on the other screen. I don't really think that's the case, but it's possible and I mention it in case any of you think it might be the problem.
I'm using CorelDRAW X5. When I used version 12 and earlier versions, the color palette displayed on the right side of the screen showed color names. (I think you only saw the name when you selected a color.) Now instead I see only numerical values.
Is there a way to restore color names here? It seems this should be a simple option, like display color values or color names.
Is it possible to click on a color swatch (or something) to open up a shades palette? It seems to me like there is

After a little while the color palette suddenly became glaringly fluorescent and no amount of rebooting could get my original color palette back. After that I opened the Palette Editor under Tools and fiddled around the Sort button settings there. This changed the order I was seeing the colors in my palette which stayed as fluorescent as ever and the original sequence would not come back no matter what I did. I read up a bit and played around with the Color Management settings-in vain. As a last resort I have uninstalled and installed the program again-to no avail! What should I do? I tried the F8 start as well-that didn't work either.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am having trouble creating a custom palette in Draw X6. I am trying to import (or create) a palette of a range of threads I use. There are around 300 swatches to create. I had this palette in Illustrator that I created from a CSV file using a script. It is in RGB colors. I need to have the swatch and thread number in the palette.
First, is there a way to convert a csv/xls/txt file into an palette xml file to make the palette automatically as I did in Illustrator?
Second, doing it manually is giving me trouble. I am following the below directions from the manual:
To create a custom color palette from scratch
1. Click Window Dockers Color palette manager.
2. Click the Creates a new empty color palette button.
3. Type a file name in the File name box.
4. Click Save.
5. In the Color palette manager, choose the custom palette that you created.
6. Click the Opens the Palette editor button.
7. In the Palette editor dialog box, click Add color.
8. In the Select color dialog box, choose a color, and click Add to palette.
I've gotten to Step 7, but there's where everything goes badly, When I add a color, the Select Color box comes up, and I choose the Models tab and choose an RGB. All my thread colors are in RGB. I can then input the RGB values in the cvs table, however, when I try to name the color with the thread color number (say "2005 - Petal Yellow"), it changes the RGB values to something else and changes the color in the preview box. It's like there is no way to give the color my own custom name. If I just bypass the naming and try to Add To Palette, it either tells me the color is already in the palette or I can't add any more because I've reached the maximum allowable entries....in a blank new palette file? Any color I choose from any of the pickers, or anything I enter in the value boxes just ends up with an error message.
I've checked the xml file of the new, supposedly blank, palette, and there are no colors or code, so what am I missing? Why can't I just input the color RGB values, name it, and add it? I can use the color picker to add colors to the palette, and after saving, that does show up in the xml file, but I don't have a document of color swatches, only a CSV. There's got to be a better way then making all the swatches in Draw, and also using the color picker on each one to make the palette.
I use CDR X4 and a Roland VS printer with versaworks as my RIP. In Corel, I have my color palette set up to the right as RVW but when I go to use gradients or fills, the color options are Corel. I end up having to edit the color palette to RVW every time. Is there a way to change this setting so when I go to use fills etc., RVW color palette is first to appear ?
View 1 Replies View Related I recently started working with X5 and am having a few issues with the importing of palettes.I have created a couple of very large swatch palettes (about 1044 colors) in Photoshop CS4 and Illustrator CS4 that I would like to not have recreate in X5 (each swatch is custom named).
The photoshop swatch palette is saved as an .ACO file. I am able to open the .ACO palette in X5, however, the CMYK values do not match, and the custom name does not transfer.
-As an example, my custom black swatch in the .ACO file is called A1 and its CMYK value is 60, 49, 47, 100. However, when opened in X5 it is only identified by its CMYK value, which has changed to 29, 22, 29, 30 (which is more of a semi-dark grey than a black). In fact, all of the colors look as if they have been desaturated by 50-75% (that's a huge guesstimate on my part).
After struggling with my .ACO palette I thought I would try to import my .AI file.
X5 gives the option to open a palette that was created in Illustrator if the palette itself is saved as an .AI (which can be done directly from the swatch menu in AI. I have tried opening my .AI palette in X5- it allows me to chose the file, however, nothing happens.
I am using X5 on a Win 7 64 bit system. I am having an issue with colors that manifests itself in 3 ways: When I try to change a color from rgb or cmyk to PMS, the program freezes and gives the error message that CorelDraw has stopped working. Files that have been created using more than one palette will not open on this system - although they will open fine on other machines running X5. Finally, if I even mouse-over the color palettes tab from the "Windows" drop-down menu the same thing happens.
I have used F8 to reset the workspace and when that did not work, I re-installed Coreldraw with the same result.
I am trying to set up my CorelDraw x6 workspace so that the default spot color palette is set to Pantone solid coated.
I go to:Tools > Options (or Customization) > Global > Color > set "Default spot color palette" to "PANTONE solid coated"
Unfortunately this seems to be ignored by x6.
Every time i want to change from a CMYK color to Pantone i must do the following:
1) select the objec
t2) double click the color chip adjacent to the Fill icon in the Status Bar
3) which brings up:
4) from here I select the Palettes tab (if it is not already selected)5) then select from the Palette drop down menu:SPOT > PANTONE > PANTONE+ > Solid Coated
This is a very clumsy and inefficient way to work as I must do this EVERY time I want to change from CMYK to Pantone.Is there any way to get x6 to operate correctly or is there something I am missing?
I will save a document in X5 and when its opened in the same program - same computer it doesn't update the palette that i used to create the document. The replaced colors are either Black or White. They have the callouts of 100% ID: ### Density: 100.The Default RGB pallette and CMYK colors all come back but the color palette I use for my RIP (VersaCAMM) always change.
View 4 Replies View RelatedThe new color management system in CorelDraw X5. When I enable color management (only option is Microsoft ICM) in the Default Color Settings (under conversion settings) I get unfavorable results when converting a RGB to CMYK bitmap - it darkens and adds too much reflex color. When I disable the Color Conversion the bitmaps convert correctly, but the palette (and vector objects in the design) become reflex RGB.
Any generic prepress setting I can use that does not shift colours between RGB and CMYK bitmaps, and that displays the palette more accurately.
My current profile settings are:
RGB: sRGB IEC61966-2.1
CMYK: US Web Coated SWOP V2
Grayscale: Dot Gain 15%

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have both Corel 12 and X5. A few years ago a friend of mine installed a custom color palette in my C12 that was matched to the Federal Standard 595 color system.
When I move the cursor over each color in the palette, it displays the FS number assigned to each color (ie. FS35237, FS37038, etc.)
I recently installed the same color palette into X5. However, when I move the cursor over each color, it displays the RGB color ratios for each color. If I open the palette and click on the 'display names' option, it shows the FS number for each color but reverts back to the RGB ratio when the palette is minimized to the right of my screen (I hope that makes sense).
How can I get the FS numbers to display when I move the cursor over the colors?
I have built a VBA form for generating stripes at random from a user defined palette (with a few parameters decided by the user) via a user form.
I now need to include an option of displaying the palette (maybe by using a method to include this in the form or by shifting the focus to the coreldraw window/palette) and then the ability for the user to pick colors from this palette (which will then be passed to the script for further processing).
How can I change sequence of colors by my own?
Even "edit palette" doesn't work. How to do that? In X4 is OK but in X5 I cannot do that.
Just upgraded to x6 and is there a way to save my cmyk palette in x4 and paste it into x6.
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy CMYK palette is the same hue as my RGB palette right now. I guess you know the difference. RGB looks bright and high in contrast like the ones used in Microsoft word. And the cmyk is, not the bright... Anyway, so the problem is...its the same color on my monitor. Its looks all RGB. On my other PC-2, its the other way around. My RGB palette looks like CMYK. Its not much of a problem with my PC-2 because i rarely use it for photo editing. Its just use for our cutting machine, the other one, my PC-1..
What's going on because it where i do most of my designs. And the color is a major factor there because most of our clients usually send their design to email and they have specific color. So, im having trouble doing designs. Is there a problem with my monitor? I tried editing my files on PC-2 but if i transfer it to PC-1 the color is different again... I cant get the exact (almost) color i want. The adobe gamma isn't do much either nor the monitor adjustment. Do i need to get a professional calibrator for all my PCs or are there downloadable calibrator on the internet? I was about to try the one about CorelDraw 12 Color Management guide but im still not sure about it. I have to read the infos first.
Here's from my PC-1. To the left is the CMYK and on the right is the RGB
Now here is from my PC-2. Left is CMYK and right is RGB.
When viewed from my PC-2..this one looks all CMYK (and dull)
Corel crashed once when i used shape tool once for a paragraph text and since then my color palette has gone horrible in its colors...even the guide's default color of Violet has changed to some dark blue...all the colors have gone horrible.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a picture of 200 or so colors. I can create a palette of it by going to indexed mode. No problem there.
My problem is when I load a different image, and if I try to recolor it to this new palette, GIMP is choosing the new colors according to the luminosity values, not what the colors actually look like.
Is there a plug-in or something that makes GIMP choose the closest-looking color?
I have an image which I want to display using only a limited set of specific colours which I have defined in a colour palette. I am aware of the colour map plugin, but from what I can gather from the documentation it simply uses each pixels luminosity as an index. I want to to map each pixel to the colour in my palette that most closely represents the original colour. How do I do this?

See the examples below. I have a table with 24 different colors. When I determine to create a custom palette with 24 shades of this table, all colors are added to my custom palette (pic. 1).
Now, assuming I double them to 48 tones, which the criterion adopted by CorelDRAW to create the midtones? Note that Green color, in the second row (pic.2), has not an intermediary tone, while for White (last color) were created three options.
In my Pantone Coated has no WHITE in it or do any of the other pantone groups. RGB and others do. Is there a way to get white on there.
