GIMP :: Colours Wrong When Opening And Saving?

Sep 17, 2009

Whenever I open an image in Gimp, it's just a little off colour. Then when I save it as an image file (usually png), it's even more off colour than what's displayed in Gimp. For example, if the image starts out with a grey background of 808080 (RGB Hex Value, 16-bit), in Gimp it's 7F7F7F, and when I save as a png, it's 6E6E6E (honestly, how does that make sense under any circumstances?). I've tried every combination of settings under colour management, to no avail. Once, I managed to get Gimp to display the correct colour, but when I saved it as a gimp file, and re-opened it, it was wrong again.

Photoshop :: Printing Wrong Colours

Photoshop :: New Computer System Printed Colours Are Wrong

Mar 23, 2013

I recently bought a new computer system inc Dell U2711 monitor and purchased LR4 and CS6. All was well, or so I thought, until I got some prints done. The prints from my old system (with which I only used elements 10) look fine. Those from my new system look awful, the colours are just wrong. My workflow is RAW image opened in LR then finished off in CS6 before saving as JPEG. The saved images look alright but when I either click view/ proof colors or if I use an image as a desktop screensaver, it gives the same washed out appearance with wrong colours.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X3 :: Colours Wrong In PDF File (X3)

May 24, 2012

I have been using CorelDRAW 12 and 13 for about 7 years. I have a new problem. It's only become apparent recently, and I think it could be related to my recent change to Win7 from XP.

When I publish a file to pdf the colours do not translate properly. I use a lot of pantone colours, as I do fashion illustrations and textile designs, and for that reason it is important that my clients receive accurate colours.

Lately the colours have been coming up wrong. For example a green/blue aqua colour came up as a very darkish sky blue colour. Brown looked navy. All colours are either off or completely wrong. If I print from the cdr file, however, the colours are fine.

Paint Shop Pro :: CMYK JPEGs Display With Wrong Colours?

Jul 20, 2011

I use PSP X3 for web image editing and am sometimes sent jpeg files which are in CMYK format. Unfortunately PSP does not display the colours in these files correctly. Yellow will display as brown, pale blue as turquoise and pink as purple for example.

If I open the same file in almost any other programme, including the humble "Paint", the colours display fine and my workaround up until now has been to open in another programme, copy the picture to the clip board and then paste it into PSP as a new image. The colours are then fine but it greatly increases my work time, especially when I have many images to process.

Surely there must be a way to get these images to display correctly. It has nothing to do with monitor or gamma adjustment otherwise they would display incorrectly in all other programmes also.

Maybe it is a bug or just something that Corel have overlooked. RGB jpegs display fine, the problem only occurs with CMYK images.

Photoshop :: Opening Colours As Blacks

Apr 16, 2013

a colleague has been working on a website and the below images show the files and colours they should be, but he has opened the files up again yesterday and the files show as per the second image (the colours have changed from blues to all black but with edges defined). The document was originally created in CMYK and brought from a PDF (I know, but it wasnt us!) so there may be some legacy there, but the only thing we could think of was a colour gamut or web colour warning, but changing those didn't seem to make a difference.

Photoshop :: Colours Change When Saving For Web

Apr 6, 2012

I'm getting a little frustrated that elements that i copy and paste (or open) in photoshop from Illustrator do not look the same, very muted, additionally when i come to save for web they look even worse. So i can never get the colours looking like the original unless (which isn't a solution) i change them manually by increasing the contrast ect.
 
All my colour settings/profiles are synced, the documents are both RGB. I just can't work it out

Lightroom :: Adjusts Colours Automatically When Opening RAW For First Time?

Aug 16, 2013

When I open a newly imported RAW for the first time my computer thinks for about a second and transforms the colours. On some picutres it can hardly be seen, but on others the chance is huge and I have not found a way to bring it back to more or less the colours of the neighbouring Jpegs. It also seems to be irreversible within Lightroom. I hope this is not normal, as the colours usually look much less pleasant after the transformation.
  
- I work with LR 4.4

- I have already disactivated the automatic Levels in the import settings

- I shoot RAW with a Pentax K-7, having set the RAW in Adobe standards

AutoCad :: Opening To The Wrong Templates And Can't Switch It Back

Jan 31, 2012

running AutoCAD Civil 3D 2012. From the beginning of my course I’ve had CAD opening to my template; from the options, under the file tab, then template settings, I set all four of the subcategories to my template and the appropriate folders. My template is set with an engineering drawing scale. A couple weeks ago, I fired up CAD and it opened to a different template where it’s using an architectural scale. I checked my template settings in the options and they are the same. I closed CAD, reopened it, and have gotten the same result since then. When I open my drawings that I’ve been working on the scale goes back to engineering or if I manually open my template, it is an engineering scale as well. Is there another area that controls how CAD opens besides the options for templates settings? I really don’t understand how that could have been changed in the first place since we have always used our templates from the first week of class.

AutoCAD Inventor :: VBA Dialog Boxes Opening On Wrong Monitor?

Dec 10, 2013

I received dual monitors a while ago and I've noticed an annoying issue with VBA dialogs. No matter which screen I have inventor open on all but one of my dialog boxes opens to the far left side of my right monitor. This is quite annoying as I normally have to drag the dialog bad to a better spot.

All of my dialogs have the "Center Owner" for the start up position selected. I can't explain why one scripts dialog box appeared centered and the rest don't.

GIMP :: Colours Don't Match The Pallet

Feb 10, 2010

If I create a new image all works fine.

If I open an image that I have previously created (I'm working with .gif) and then select a colour on the pallet (it can be either FG or BG) and then try to place the colour on to the image - the colour is different to what I selected on the pallet.

I have the same issue with the 'bucket fill tool' or by selecting 'edit/fill with FG color' or by selecting 'edit/fill with BG color' or by placing a selected color text onto the image. I haven't tried using any other method.

I've tried deleting and reinstalling Gimp and I'm on Win XP PRO SP3.

GIMP :: How To Make Text With 2 Colours

Mar 19, 2012

How do I make text with 2 colours?

©gosonyushidae@SSF

Like something similar to this?

The way I know how to do it is by typing the first word in black lets say, then open a new text dialogue on another layer and type in the other word with a different colour.

Is there an easier way to do this since I'm afraid that my text won't be in line with each other?

GIMP :: How To Invert Colours Of The Background

Nov 6, 2013

I'm currently working on a forum template (phpBB), and I want to invert the colours of the background. I did it easily for some pictures, but I can't invert one of them.

It's a simple gif, I don't know why I can't invert it. When I go to the menu 'colours'->'invert', the option is disabled, even if I tried with several tools selected.

GIMP :: Colours Menu Windows Hidden 2.6?

Mar 19, 2013

for example:

Colours > Curves ..... nothing visible. The toolbar shows the Curves options (histogram; sample average).

This happens for all selections in the Colours menu; all the other menus are working fine.

I know finding the magic words to use in a search can be the ticket!

I uninstalled gimp removed the .gimp2 preferences and reinstalled--

Edited: well this is embarrassing The png I was trying to edit with Curves had Indexed Colour layers.

GIMP :: Switch To Index Mode Changes Colours?

Jun 18, 2012

when saving images for the web i try save them as indexed png's to save space.

however, when switching to indexed mode GIMP will alter my colours if i choose to use a palette with less colours than i have in the image. This is the most noticable if for example i have an image with bacgkround #ffcc00 and a multicoloured icon in the middle. due to the icon the image probably has over 100 colours. if i then choose 64 colours not only will it affect the colours in the icon, but change the entire, large, unicoloured background area to maybe fec50a (just an example). is there anyway to force GIMP to only use colours already present in the image?

GIMP :: Color-matrix Causes Patchy Colours But Only With JPEG

Dec 16, 2012

I'm using -color-matrix on a bunch of images to change colour temperature slightly:

convert -quality 94 -color-matrix "1.0 0 0 0 0.975 0 0 0 0.95" x.jpg y.jpg

Problem is, in sky areas, this causes patchy colours and banding issues. However, and this is the strange part, if I convert to TIFF (even using JPEG compression), and then apply the colour matrix, I don't get these issues.

BUT, even wierder, if I then try to convert the fine-looking TIFF image to JPEG again (even with -quality 100), I get these patchy colours again.

This is with GIMP 2.6.12 on a Fedora Linux system.

GIMP :: Restrict Image To Very Limited Range Of Colours

Jul 4, 2012

I've been using GIMP for a while for basic website stuff. Very basic website stuff. I've recently been asked if GIMP has some more advanced features. Well, advanced put to my usual level of use anyway.

So, I thought I'd query if I could do the following in GIMP...

(1) Edit a BMP but ensure the file size remains the same?

The person asking is using the images for a specific purpose and they always have to be the same size.

(2) Open .pspimages and possibly save back as this format.

The answer to this seems to be no on the opening front anyway.

(3) Restrict the image to a very limited range of colours, say 3-6?

Again this is due to the very specific and restricted nature of the images they are creating.

GIMP :: Wrong PPI Displayed In It?

Feb 22, 2012

The picture I've attached to this post is 180 dpi.However, Gimp says the ppi of the image is 300 (Gimp also used this information display the printed size, so it should be "dpi", but this is not my problem).

I fully understand the difference between dpi and ppi.My question is: From where is this information coming from?

My default image resolution in Gimp is 96 ppi (under Preferences > Default image > Advanced option).

GIMP :: Canvas Size Is Wrong On 2.8?

Sep 7, 2012

I'm having problems with gimp 2.8 I've just installed on my new laptop. I'm an artist and use scanned images to colour in GIMP, and in version 2.6 these were displayed with the actual canvas size (A4) and scan resolution. I work with these images and often need to increase the canvas size. In 2.8 the scanned images are displaying with a canvas size around 5 times larger than A4 - I think this is because GIMP is saying the resolution is 72ppi, whereas I scan at 300-400 ppi. My finished jpeg files all display on 2.8 at larger canvas sizes aswell. how to get GIMP to recognize this automatically so that the actual canvas size is shown?

GIMP :: Bucket Is Filling The Wrong Color In?

Dec 23, 2012

I'm trying to change the color palette of a sprite's gif in GIMP, but I can't get the bucket tool to put the right color in to each layer.

Here's a screenshot of the gif opened up in GIMP with only the first frame visible.

Next, I selected one of the colors in the frame.

Then, I clicked on the new foreground color and set the blue and green sliders to 0.

Then, I selected the Select By Color tool, and selected the area with the old color.

Last, I used the Bucket Fill tool (making sure that FG color fill and Fill whole selection were chosen on the left) to add the new color, but I got a completely different color in its place.
