In Illustrator, I save a vector clouds with a blue backround. However, once saved as a PDF, the blue sky doesn'y appear. Just the white clouds on a checkerboard backround appear.
I have checked, the layer isn't locked.
I have two colors that I would like the Color Guide to pick other colors that will work well with them. Is there a way to do this? If I select just the green color as my base color and then select a color rule, the colors do not seem to go well with my other color.

I'm capturing television frames using a TV capture card, but the resulting images do not have the correct brightness/contrast and color values.
Instead of manually altering every image using trial and error, I'd like to take a "correct" source frame that I know is correctly balanced (such as a test pattern), and use it to correct my other captured images.
I've tried saving the source frame's levels and curves and then loading them into the captured frames, but this doesn't produce quite the effect I'm looking for.
1. original
2. doubled horizontal size of the line
I'm using scatter brush to draw multiple lines with random size and angle(image 1.), and trying to increase only the horizontal size(image 2.), keeping the interval the same. But when I do, the interval is also increased since 'Spacing' option follows the size of the base object. I could adjust and decrease the spacing value, but the problem is, spacing option cannot go below 1%. So if want to increase the line size and maintain the interval, there's no way to do it. expending then scaling could work, but that's not what I want.
Since recently, whenever I open Photoshop CS6 (13.0.1) or Illustrator CS6 (16.1.0), the display color changes, i.e. as if the display color profile termporarily changes to a different one. Even if I switch to another app, the color change will remain until I quite Photoshop or Illustrator. Using Mac OS 10.8.2.
how to prevent this from happening?
I'm using Adobe RGB profile in photoshop, and saving the images as .jpg with embed color profile on, quality 10, and baseline.
The images look exactly the way I want them to look inside of photoshop, but when I upload them and view them through Safari (or Finder) it does not look the same as it did in photoshop.
It does look good in Preview, so I'm guessing the software I'm using to view the image needs to be able to read the imbedded color information to display it correctly?
I need to convert my images so they look better on the web? As a matter of fact, how do I even know my monitor is displaying the image correctly?
How do I know working in Adobe RGB is even doing me any good besides the fact that it looked best to me? (I did calibrated my monitor to the best of my abilities using the basic Mac display calibration.)
I have a new Dell M4400 that includes the RGB LED display that's supposed to yield such wonderful color. The problem is, it looks pretty off to me, and that gets far worse inside Photoshop.In general, the screen color seems fairly heavy on the blue/green side. And I could almost live with that, except inside Photoshop CS4 it's even worse. It just looks like a complete gamma disaster, with off colors, etc. However, when I view the same images from inside Framemaker, they look normal. (Other than that global blue/green thing.)I figured it was a color management issue, so I made sure the settings in the Vista Color Management control panel were all at their defaults. (sRGB IEC61966-2.1) Then I made sure Photoshop was also using that profile.My desktop machine also uses LCD displays, but at all the defaults settings, they look great. (They're not the LED type, though.)It seems this must be a color management issue, but I have no idea what to try next. I've tried searching for a color profile that's specific to this display, but I can't find one.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI've been using CS3 10.0.0.1 on Windows XP SP2 for quite some time. Until recently when I would bring up the color picker it looked like the picture in Adobe Color Picker overview in Photoshop Help. However, for the last couple of days the display in the Color Field (G) and in the Color Slider (H) have been swapped. The colors are in the square box and the color-to-black is in the slider box.
The title bar of the Color Picker still says "Color Picker (Foreground Color)", so I don't think I've chosen an alternative color picker.
I'm the manager of the in-house Production and Imaging Teams. We receive art from illustrators, prep it as needed and deliver for production/printing. Every computer in the department uses the exact same color profile settings (I know because I create, maintain and install them), we're all on the same version of PS (CS 5, version 12.1), the Imaging Team calibrates their monitors every week, and yet we have one machine in the group that won't play nice with the incoming art.
There are 4 Macs in the Imaging room. Machines 1,2 and 3 all display the illustrations exactly the same way, machine 4 displays the art as if it has been oversaturated and the contrast pushed up, as a result we are losing subtle details in the art.We can't even embed our color profiles using machine 4 since it will convert the art to what we are seeing on screen. If anyone on the other machines opens the raw import and embeds the profiles the art looks the way we expect, but open a copy from machine 4 and there is a drastic difference.
So far we have deleted all color settings, profiles and presets and reinstalled them. No effect.Figuring we missed something, we deleted the entire Creative Suite (and all peripheral bits and pieces) then reinstalled it. No effect.The next step is throw it in the trunk, drive it up into the hills, shoot it, light it on fire and bury it in a shallow grave.
I am having a problem where Photoshop does not always give me accurate color display all the time. I am aware of the situation but this has become an issue where I have to edit some photos for a pro lab output. The monitor has been calibrated and delta E is less than 0.5, which is okay.
Attached is the print screen of PS at one moment, vs the print screen of PS at another moment (they were layered and mask applied). Dragging the image U/D/L/R also shows the colour one or another. This becomes quite an issue since I had no way of telling whether I am seeing the correct color, especially when I am soft proofing or converting color profiles for final output.
I photograph a bright red car in raw mode on a digital slr (Canon 20D) set to Adobe rgb 1998 and view it in Breeze Browser and it looks just as I remember it. I open it into Pshop CS5 extended (which is set to Adobe rgb1998, Europe ISO Coated Fogra27, (as I am UK and this is what a calibration company set our works proofer to) gray gamma 2.2 dot gain 20% and its become a little desaturated.
Sampling it and comparing screens and colours with Breeze Browser its definitely less red, a bit more orange red instead. I need to up saturation to return the red, both in RAW converter and also after image opened if not done so beforehand in RAW converter. Colors just look muted.
What tests can I carry out to find out what is going on ?
Perhaps create a rgb 255 0 0 image in a way not influenced by photoshop and photo the monitor, then open this in photoshop and sample it. However that would be influenced by the exposure of the camera. Maybe I need to create a Kodak grey card type image and establish correct exposure for the monitor brightness first. so what would that be as rgb ?
I know though that Pshop is displaying duller. Once upon a time we had Adobe gamma and one would go through the calibration wizard to set up Photoshop having already set up the monitor.
What do we have to do after installing CS5 extended or CS4 to ensure Pshops display is correct ?
I have Adobe gamma in the control panel, Is this something we still have to do in CS5, I wonder if its there because I still have Pshop 7 installed which used that wizard.

I have Adobe CS6 Design Standard student and teacher edition. The package includes Photoshop CS6, version 13.0.1 x64. In Photoshop CS6, when I bring up the Select Color Range dialog, I see the correct dialog box, but the main image of the photo on my screen changes to a black and white display that looks like the preview of a color range mask in the dialog box, instead of the normal full color image I should see. This occurs whether or not I have yet made a selection. Here is a screen photo of this incorrect display:
This problem does not occur when I use Photoshop CS2 on the same computer. Here is a photo of the correct display in Photoshop CS2:
On November 20, I spoke with an Adobe support person on the telephone. I was unable to describe the problem in a way that the support person could grasp, and the case No. 0184920291 description is now listed as "effect doesn't come with color sliders". It is impossible to use the selection eyedropper to select a color from an image displayed as a monochrome mask.
I'm working on a mobile game engine that uses RGB vertex color values for baked lighting, and Alpha vertex values for 2-material blending.
The system works fine in textured view (6), since we're rendering using our own shaders, but I would prefer to be able to turn on and off the alpha value when looking at the geometry in shaded mode (5). In other words, I want to be able to store and bake RGBA values, but in shaded mode I'd like to only see the RGB values so the meshes with blended materials don't show up transparent when I'm trying to light them.
I'm having an issue with viewports in a drawing not displaying the color of the objects in model space. All of the objects are set to display bylayer, and all of the viewport overrides in the drawing are off. Still, the objects will only display as either white or grey through the viewport, even though the colors show up fine in model space. I've also tried making a new viewport and it also displays everything as either white or gray, so I'm thinking it might be some kind of system variable that I don't know about.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have an asus laptop running windows 7. I currently have Photoshop cs5.1 extended as well as lightroom3. I just purchased an external monitor (wide Gamut Asus PA246q) I do most of my editing and corrections on this monitor. I use the spyder4pro for calibration software on both my external and laptop monitor. I know the laptop monitor is not a great editing monitor, but I calibrated it anyway. Realizing its limitations, I use the external monitor for all use in Photoshop. My laptop display is set up as my “main display” in windows 7 and with my Nvidia GeForce GTX 560m card.
When running Photoshop cs5 on my external monitor, if I look under the color settings in my working color space, it lists the monitor RGB profile as my laptop display. Does this mean that my external monitor is using the laptop profile? Some say yes, others no… if this is the case is there any way to fix this other that making my external display my “primary display”? I haven’t noticed the external monitor to have any color shifts or inaccurate colors, but I want to be sure Photoshop is correctly choosing the external monitors profile and outputting accurate colors.
As I mentioned earlier, I also use lightroom as well. This too is located on my external monitor this should not be an issue either correct?
Context - I am brand new to the graphic design business and working with a friend to create a logo for their new business. The logo will be used for web and print purposes.
I am having an issue where the colors used while in the CorelDraw application are not matching the exported files or what comes off the printer. Printer - HP officejet 6500 - using this for a checkpoint only, will not use for actual printing
I created the logo using CMYK color palette and used the default settings in Corel as far as color management goes...It is U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2. The application is still in an "out of the box" state as I am too new to know how to change anything.
So, that said...the image looks great in the application. I exported several proof files for my friend, but see now that I used RGB for the export. He loves the design and I am ready to deliver his files. Those RGB files "look" fine when opened as jpeg or png, but when printed they are completely different.
I've read that it is important to deliver CMYK files as well as RGB files. So, I attempted to export with that color style thinking it might fix that problem, since I created the image using that palette. When I try to export using CMYK though, the color goes absolutely whacko. Viewing on the computer, the muted green (20.0.60.20) turns into a neon green...and it prints that way as well.
I know computer monitors have variations, but if I see it in the application one way, viewing the exported file on the same computer monitor shouldn't pose an issue.
I am using Coreldraw X5. Previously I had corel x3 now there is problem with the new version of corel the color display is not proper that is the colors yellow appears to be deep yellow in corel x5 where as if I save the file & open it in corel x3 the yellow color appears properly. I mean to say that there is always a darkish tone added to all colors in corel x5. Both corel x3 & x5 are on the same PC as I am facing this display problem I have to switch back to X3.
View 7 Replies View RelatedWhile using Photoshop CS4 Extended version 11.0.1, whenever I change Screen Modes, it causes the color of all photos to display improperly. The pictures become very dull and gray. Even the whitest whites (255/255/255) appear to be a dull gray, as if a black layer set to 30% opacity is placed in front of the picture. The color still displays properly in the thumbnails of the Layers Panel.
Every picture I have open is affected in this way. Closing the pictures and reopening them does not help. Any new pictures I open are also affected. Changing back to the original screen mode does not fix the problem. The only thing that fixes the problem is closing Photoshop altogether, and then restarting it.
It doesnt matter how I change Screen Modes, whether I change it from the Screen Menu, the Applications Bar, or cycle through the modes using the F key. Even hitting the Tab key to hide the panels causes this to happen. Being a long-time Photoshop user, I have long been in the habit of cycling through screen modes frequently, so suggesting I not cycle through Screen Modes isnt an option because itll take months to break me of the habit.
I used to use the option to display the "object color" in shaded mode from time to time instead of the "material color". However this does not seem to do anything in MAX 2012.
