Illustrator :: Color Differentiation When Exporting To PNG
Oct 10, 2012
Whenever I export my artboards to the PNG format, I receive a slight change in the bitmap colorization.
Â
In Illustrator, my colors are perfect, but when exporting to PNG, the end result shows an increase in color vibrance - making a light blue (for example) show as slightly more turquoise/sharper light blue.
Â
Example:
Â
(This is a screenshot capture. Illustrator artboard is on the left hand side, the exported PNG example is on the right hand side.)
Â
So, my question is if I am doing something wrong with my color settings?
My settings have been set in my Adobe Bridge to:
Â
Europe General Purpose 3
RGB Space: sRGB IEC61966-2.1
CMYK Space: Coated FOGRA39 (ISO 12647-2:2004)
Â
PS: I constantly switch between creating graphics that are used for the web and other on-screen web applications (such as GUI's) and printed booklets and posters, etc. I've always had immense trouble finding a perfect working space with web and printed material. Any color settings or some kind of best-practice working environment to create consistent color.

I've a basic RGB illustrator file - no embedded or linked images, just flat colors and gradients.I'm working in sRGB space and this is reported correctly in the info field at the lower left of the editing window.Some issues:
Â
1. When I look at this file in Bridge it's listed as 'untagged'. However if I re-open it in illustrator it's reported to be sRGB as expected.
2. Despite requesting 'Include All Profiles' on the output page of the PDF save dialog I cannot get a PDF exported that includes the sRGB profile.
Â
Same issues in both CS6 and CC - Windows 7, 64.

I would like to export some GUI elements as PNGs for an iPhone application and encountered the following problem:
Â
What I did:
1. The developer gave me an hex code with that I should produce the GUI elements
2. I set the color in illustrator and exported the GUI elements as PNGs
3. The developer imported them and we noted a difference in color between my GUI PNGs and the color of a background element set in the ios app via the same hex code.
Â
I work on:
- MacBook Retina
- Illustrator document color mode is and was always RGB
- I experimented with color profile settings in Illustrator and Mac System Preferences but don't really know what the settings mean and dont have good feeling playing arround with them

I work with old manuscripts, many of which are digitised and available online. However one of the problems our readers have encountered is differentiating the main text from ink which is coming through the page from behind (bleed-through), and ink which has come from the page adjacent (offset). What I am hoping to achieve is to have one final image with the main text in one colour, and the bleed-through and offset in other colours so we can quickly identify what is real and what isn't.
I usually work with ImageJ but am hoping to use GIMP to assign colours to each of these layers. I have three base images to work with (the front of the page, the back of the page horizontally flipped, and the adjacent page which is causing offset). They aren't registered, but even something like using semi-transparency on an overlay, and physically colouring in the different ink areas could work, but I'm not sure where to start.

I need to send vectorized art to this company that only uses Illustrator. I have never used or even opened Illustrator. Ok, I'm very familiar with Freehand so I get the basic idea about vector. I have a 3 color logo that I have saved as a Photoshop DCS .eps file with the channels saved as spot colors so I can print separations with Pantone colors. According to what I have translated from the Photoshop guide what I need to do is figure out how to get my clipping paths of each channel to retain its fill when I export paths to Illustrator. I've tried and when I open the vectorized paths in say Freehand there is only lines and no fills. Do you guys have any ideas on how I can get these file seperations to this company with Illustrator?

I am trying to export a bunch of photos that I have tweaked the color on and a few other settings. Lowered saturation, sharpened, etc...
Â
When I put the lightroom and the jpg in any other viewer side by side, the export looks like the original before it was tweaked. Too much red, too much saturation. Not sure what I am doing wrong. I have tried exporting a single image as well as a bunch and no different. In Lightroonm, they look amazing. Exported, they don't.

when exporting a photo, does Lightroom convert to a profile or assign a profile? Because there is no way to choose. I tried to export a photo with 3 different color spaces (sRGB, AdobeRGB and ICC profile from laboratory where I print my photos). After exporting them to JPEG it turned out that all of them look differently on my monitor - does it mean that Lightroom assigns a profile? If it was converting, shouldn't they have the same colours? What is more, after printing them in laboratory, results were completely different than I expected - the photo which had closest colours to what I saw in Lightroom was that in sRGB, but that with ICC of Lab was very different (much colder colours).
Â
Where is the problem, or what aspect do I seem to misunderstand? Do I have wrong settings, should I use DNG to work with photos, should I export to TIFF, or I just have too weak monitor or wrongly calibrated one? Should I calibrate when viewing a picture in Lightroom or with the use of a photo exported to the ICC profile of Lab?
Â
I would like to have a little bit of control over what I'm working on, depending on whether I want to publish it on a website or print. I know that my monitor can be a problem (I have an iiyama with IPS), but surely there has to be any way to make results of my work a bit closer to my expectations.
Â
Just for information, my workflow doesn't require Photoshop, as I rather prefer to use only tools from Lightroom. I hope that my problem doesn't require the use of Photoshop.

I'd like to export a design as a PNG image. The document color mode was set as CMYK and I've only used CMYK colors but when I go to export, that option is not available (as you can see in the picture).
Can't .png images be exported with a CMYK color mode? If I export as .jpg then there is no problem but in this case it has to be saved as a png image.

Exporting to H.264 while preserving your color correction. I have not found anything definitive that addresses this issue. I'm bringing it up here as I do a lot of web delivery in H.264 and am tired of the color/gamma shift.

Both my monitors I use are calibrated so there is no colors distortion, especialy that it happen to orange only.

I just spent 30+ hours editing a set of 123 wedding photos in RAW file format. When I export to JPEG, the colors change on just about every photo. I understand that if I would have correctly set up the camer calibration prior to editing, this would have possibly solved my problem. However, the photos are already edited. When I export the files in TIFF, they look fine. It's just the JPEG file format that changes the look of my images. I'm using Lightroom 2.3. My last brainstorm involved importing the already edited TIFF files and then trying to export those into JPEG, the color format was still off.

I am using CorelDRAW X6. Â I am trying to export a graphic that includes several spot colors. Â The spot colors are from a library that a printer provided me. Â It is in the same location as my pantone library, and summa spot color library. Â
When I export as a pdf or eps to send to the printer it converts the spot color to rgb. Â If I have a pantone color or summa color in the file they stay as a spot but this new spot library does not. Â If I have these spot colors in a gradient they will stay as spot colors.
When exporting I have the color management checked to use document color settings, output colors as Native, and I have embed the color profile.

i once exported images (blurred) without any background. I used these in flash afterwards.
I was shown how to do this with chanels or masks but i cant remember the procedure -
again - im looking to save (pict, tiff, ....???) files from photoshop WITHOUT a background colour and keeping opacity (transparent gifs are not good enough).

When I export as a jpeg the images obviously are compressed, however, they also get darker and more saturated. Is there anyway to compensate for this without having to overcorrect the image before exporting?

After I've exported through LR 3 I am getting different tone qualities only with two different image viewing windows. The picture attached shows the example of the image on the left opened with Windows Photo Viewer is brighter red tie and bluer suit while the one on the right is opened with Microsoft Photo Editor is more darker red and purple suit. The one on the left is the correct image.
This is also happening when the photo is sent through an inventory management system we have. I am exporting with 600 x 1200 jpeg resize 72 dpi at sRGB, 100 quality, and jPeg mode in File settings.

We would like to export RAW files in their original RAW format AND retain their color correction and stars labels. We would then like to import these exported RAW + XMP files into other Lightroom Catalogs. Sometimes when we do this, however, the color correction and stars ratings from the last catalog are not visible.

I have recently upgraded from corel 12 to X6. I work in SignLab e6 on my production computer. Now since I have upgraded when I export files from x6 and import them into SignLab e6 they will not import unless I change everything to 1 color. If it does export the file as full color, when I import the file it is converted to 1 color. This takes a lot of time to re color everything.  I typically have to export files from Corel as .EPS in order for the file to import into Signlab with best quality, but have been using the CMX (legacy) lately with same results. I dont understand why I have to convert them into 1 color nor why they convert from full color to 1 color.

I'm trying export a vector image from Illustrator CS 11.0.0 to Photoshop CS 8.0. I go through the process outlined in the manual and succesfully export the file. Everything works fine & I retain my layers (if I use CMYK), but my vectors are gone. The manual says I may need a plug-in but I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong. My only options as far as color goes is CMYK, RGB, or Greyscale. I select CMYK and make sure "Write Layers" is selected, but there is nothing there to specify vectors.

I have someone doing a drawing and i am asking them to draw it at 1:1 instead of 1:100 even though the final result is going to need to be a 1:100 drawing in eps or pdf.
Â
Is it extremely simple to get a eps or pdf at 1:100 even if the drawing is at 1:1 - while retaining clarity and/or detail etc?
Â
My understanding is that they want this scale for publication but my thinking is that drawing at 1:1 is a much better idea in case i need to use this later.

I'm currently working on some icons for our new agency website... When try to export files with gradients, which assigned to nicely named graphic styles, illustrator keeps exporting a strange st-class for every new gradient i'm generating and refuses to assign my class, like:
Â
<style type="text/css">
         .testStyle{fill:url(#SVGID_1_);} //my class with a useless gradient
         .st0{fill:url(#testrect_1_);} // class generated by illustrator
</style>
<linearGradient id="SVGID_1_" gradientUnits="userSpaceOnUse" x1="0" y1="0" x2="1" y2="0"> // useless gradient with no height?!
         <stop offset="0" style="stop-color:#FFFFFF"/>
         <stop offset="1" style="stop-color:#000000"/>
[code]....
Â
When i change the code by myself, it works properly. But it's actually no option to change every svg by hand...

When I export my .Ai file to .swf, the .swf has a huge red square overlaying the image, as well as some rnadom lines and chunks of other pieces of the art scattered around. Basically it's not saving as the image should be. It is a larger file size.. does swf only work up to a certain size?

I'm using Illustrator CS6 and Photoshop CS6.I've been creating patterns in Illustrator, saving them to the swatch panel and then applying them to certain size squares.
Â
I'd like to get those patterns into Photoshop but no matter what I try, there are small artefacts on them. I've tried exporting to PSD, JPG, PNG..They look perfect in Illustrator.

So, I'm developing a game currently and have been drawing some character portraits (busts if you will) in Illustrator CC (v17.0.0 32-bit). After finishing each portrait, I need to export them into a .png file that I can then use with MSPaint.
Â
My troubles are that I always run into one or more of the following problems each time I export an image:
Â
If I save the image at 72ppi, the exported images are the correct size but, they have jagged edges, which just aren't acceptable for my project.If I save the image at say 300ppi, the exported images are blown up and are too big but, they have smooth edges, which, while I want smooth edges, I cannot work with the increase size of the images.Sometimes exporting the images causes a new line around the smooth edges (I think I've heard this effect called a Halo or something along those lines), which is also unacceptable because I need a transparent background.Also, if I resize the blown up image manually, it causes develops the third problem.Â
What I'm after basically is to be able to export the image on my artboard into a .png file, have export at the same width and height it does when I export it at 72ppi, while keeping the edges smooth like they are when exporting it at 300ppi.
Â
As a side note, I currently don't have a suscription/access to photoshop and don't have a way this month to gain access and though there are freeware programs that do a lot of what Photoshop is capable of, I can't seem to figure them out. I've mentioned this just in-case potential solutions require photoshop
