How can I save a pdf with overprint preview showing? I need to show my client exactly how the printed product will look. How can I acheive this in a pdf format? I have Illustator CS5.1 & CS6.
View 6 RepliesI work in the screenprinting field, and use Illustrator CS6 all day, every day to create layouts which are then separated into spot color separations. I found a script that I installed that is supposed to select all overprinted objects. When we blend objects using the "make blend" tool, the script does not select the objects in the blend. will allow us to TRULY select ALL overprints in the document?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI prepare graphics mostly for print, so I like to turn on the Proof Colors view and Overprint Preview views. It's a pain to turn these on for each document. Is there a way to make these the default viewing settings in Illustrator CS6?
I tried creating an action to do it, but the Insert Menu Item command in actions causes Illustrator to crash every time, and the help file seems to say that View commands are unavailable to actions. So I'm not sure if that's a bug. Oddly, Photoshop has the very useful File> Scripts> Script Event Manager that let's me turn on Proof Colors (via an action) whenever a document is opened. It works very well. However, Illustrator does not appear to have these options. I found the View> New View options in Illustrator. They let me create a view that turns on Overprint Preview, but absolutely refuse to turn on Proof Colors. So it's the same number of clicks and pointless.

Can anyone tell me what proof settings to use in cs4?I use adobe rgb exclusively,and my monitor is profiled with a spyder2.What I'm confused about is what should be my default proof settings.I've looked through the posts,but all I see are issue about conversion to srgb for web use and print proofing.
What I need to know is what settings to use for everyday editing.The default is working cmyk,which doesn't seem right as most people seem to be using srgb or adobe rgb.Do I use windows rgb,or adobe rgb (already set in edit>color settings) or monitor rgb?And if monitor,then would it be:device to simulate:spyder2express?(my monitor profile) should it be set to:preserve rgb numbers,or set to rendering intent?
i open or create a new document the proof setup is set to ''working CMYK'' but i want it to be ''monitor RBG'' by default when i create or open a new document,
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm having with profiling my monitor/printer. I use an i1 Proof which includes the ability to profile my printer but my printer at the moment is a small Epson desktop printer - R220. "Near-as-damn_it" is my usual standard and suits me for general photography. At the moment I am photographing paintings with more exacting standards for reproduction.
I callibrate both monitor and printer. I have read and re-read instructions and use genuine paper/ink. My prints are appear a little darker than my monitor and in fact, the original painting. So can Soft proofing give an idea of the accuracy of the profile? (that's my main question).
Here are my settings
Device to simulate - myPrinterPaperProfile
Preserve RGB numbers - Not checked
REndering Intent - Perceptual
Black Point Compensation - checked
Simulate Paper - checked (which also auto checks the simulate black ink option)
Now, if that's my sofr proof setting and I toggle ctrl-y I am flipping between an impression of my printer profile and the actual display profile - is that correct? If I could put a screen shot of the two on the web,
When i have the view proof colors selected the image looks good. I think that the purpose of the proof colors is so that when you print it looks closer to the screen image. when i save the new file looks like the image before selecting the proof colors option. could somebody explain the purpose of this better and how to save with normal colors?
View 1 Replies View Related'm working on a large number of images for an Android target. The target uses RGB565 format. Is it possible to configure color proofing on Photoshop (and illustrator would be good) to display with the color range of RGB565. I haven't been able to work this one out and have resorted to saving the image as a BMP in RGB565 format then loading it back in to check for atrifacts and banding etc.

View 3 Replies View RelatedTo get my images to display with the correct color I have to set the Proof Setup to Monitor RGB, this works almost perfectly, except it won't save the Proof Colors option. I have to go under the view menu and re-enable Proof Colors again even though it should have already been selected. Should this be considered a bug and/or is there a workaround to always have Proof Colors enabled?

View 1 Replies View Relatedan old box of Crane Museo paper to make some prints on my Epson 3800. I downloaded and installed the Museo profile from Crane almost a year ago, and it shows up in the Windows/sys32/spool/drivers/color directory, along with all my other profiles.
But when I tried to soft proof the image in CS3, the Museo profile did not appear in the list in the Soft Proof dialog. On closer look, there were a few other profiles that also failed to appear.
Is there any way to manually add these profiles to the Soft Proof list? I always thought that the Soft Proof drop down list just picked up the entire "...../color" directory?
how I could go about changing the default Proof Setup from Working CMYK too Monitor RGB.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have calibrated my monitor (IIyama VisionMaster Pro 454), scanner (Epson 2450 with Silverfast) and printer (Canon i950) so that I get prints that resemble as good and bad as possible what I scan/ see on the monitor. I normally work in Adobe RGB, but I also do some webwork. Which is why I also preview in sRGB or even Monitor RGB.
I would like to use Proof Setup to view my files default in sRGB, but whatever I do, Photoshop always opens default with CMYK. I tried Custom, choose sRGB and then save, but that does not change Photoshop's CMYK obsession.
I know one can easily change the sizes of the New documents by opening the text file that contains them. So I was wondering whether there was also a method/trick to change this default proof/CMYK setting.
are the developing capabilities completely equal when it comes to gamut and histogram between ACR and LR5 (5.?) or to get equality do I have to develop in soft proof mode in LR5?

View 2 Replies View RelatedIn prior versions of PS, if I added a custom profile under Proof Setup, it would be pinned to the Proof Setup menu (along with the default profiles). That doesn't appear to happen in PS CS6.
Is there a specific place I need to save the custom Proof profiles to so that they will appear in the menu?
I think I understand what View> Proof Setup does in Photoshop. It shows you a preview of what the image will look like with the chosen color space. But here is what I dont get. With an image open choose View>Proof Setup and then "Internet Standard RGB (sRGB)". Now close the image and reopen it. Choose View>ProofSetup again. Notice that "Internet Standard RGB (sRGB)" is already selected. Now, re-select the color space again and when you do pay very close attention to the image. Does it change colors? Mine does and that is what I am questioning. Why does it do that?
When I reselect the color space after opening the file, it changes color. Of course, if I select a different color space than what was selected when I open the file, it changes. I expect that.
On Corel X3 I used to export jpg proofs for email purposes. I could send RGB or CMYK version but CMYK did not appear properly on some computers (especially Macs) so I did everything as RGB.
Now in X5 I can see that standard 100% black exported as RGB gives just grey colour.
I understand that this may be appropriate conversion to indicate that this is not rich black (exporting as cmyk is fine) but I don't think it's a good solution because most of people refer to visual appearance on the screen.
Can I change anything to get the result more like on screen (like with X3)?
I don't know how do I send it now, If I send as RGB the colour is wrong (I would need to convert everything in cmyk to 100%) if I export as cmyk Mac users will see it wrong.

I have just discovered the proof on /off switch in the bottom right hand corner in Draw. What is this for? I notice the colurs change when I switch it on or off. I work with RGB and produce digital images for people to print out on their home printers to use in paper crafting. Should I have this switched on or off? I notice colours are slightly different when I print my designs off myself to what they are on screen. Is this an important feature or not. I only have a liminted basic understanding of the software and have only recently began colouring my images so don't know much about 'Colour' at all.

View 5 Replies View RelatedIt seems I may be pressing random buttons, and I'm unable to reverse the effects they bring.First one being that all of my shapes now have these grey boxes around them that I cannot remove, cannot edit or interact with. I thought maybe they were just really annoying guides, but when I export to png to test this, low and behold there they are! How do I remove these?
Also, my shapes are not filling. When I give them a fill color, everything behind them is still showing through and the colors are not there. Every item has a different fill color, but none of these colors are showing up! because lines are showing through from the back.

since both function does not return any error code so I am enable to get know what is being wrong . Is there other way to use this? Is this require multithreading?
I've had a strange problem that happens every so often and is very annoying and time consuming. I'll be working in Illustrator CC and I save my work as pdf (with editing abilities preserved). Then when I open the file later, the last changes that I made to the file don't show in Illustrator, they are just gone, layers, changes - sometimes it is a lot of work lost.
The strangest part is that at the same time Bridge previews the updated file correctly, showing all the updates I made. And if I open the pdf in Acrobat, the changes are there as well. But in Illustrator they are not. So in the same moment I can look at the file in 3 programs but only two show it correctly.
