I am new to this program, but just designed something lovely. However, once I pull it into Photoshop, save it in the size and type of file I want, and then go to upload it to my website where I sell my prints, the colors are all off! Some don't show up at all, and the others have turned neon... what is happening? How do I fix this?

I do a lot of work for a client who's corporate look features Black, white & orange. To start with they sent me PDF's to work from, generated by another designer, and for their particular shade of orange I eyedropped it and it came in at 53% Magenta, 100% Yellow. I have been using this delightful shade of orange for all their print work and they are happy with the results.
Recently they have asked me to put together their exhibition stand, they sent me some actual logo files, .ai, .eps. .png, and when you open these files on screen the orange is exactly the same. But it says it's Pantone Orance 21c. BUT if I copy and paste the offending logo onto a new document it displays as an almost red type orange, but it still tells me its the same Pantone orange. Converting it makes no difference on screen. it seems to be simply that on screen it displays different.
If I convert the Pantone Orange to CMYK it says its 83% Magenta and 100% yellow. Not the same at all.if I convert the original logo .ai file to CMYK it converts it to my favourite 53% magenta, 100 % yellow.I know that I am the one failing here, failing to understand colour consistency, but I would be grateful for a simple explanation.
To summise why does Pantone Orance 21c convert to two different CMYK (one 53% Magenta & 100% Yellow and the other 83% magenta and 100% yellow) depending on which document I convert that colour to CMYK in?
Recently we have been having this issue at work, We have a line of packaging that uses the same pantone color (375 C). When we go to create a new document and use that same pantone the color onscreen looks more saturated then its predecessor. The only think I can think of is that I've upgrade to the pantone plus system but have since uninstalled and reinstalled the old color books. Both documents are in CMYK color space and both use the same ICC profile. I know it wont appear this way when printed but we make a lot of PDFs for approvals and the colors come out more saturated in the PDF as well. See sample image below.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have about 300+ product labels that are in Illustrator, and some of them have an incorrect rich black color swatch. What I have been doing is going through and changing the color pallette to change them manually. Essentially going to the instance of black and changing them to regular black.
Is there any sort of script that can do this? The files are in CMYK.
Otherwise I have a lot of monotonous file editing to do.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been struggling today with an issue I've encountered with my documents that I made in Illustrator, then had them uploaded to the web. The document displays big squares around all the paths in my document, containig text and gradients inside them.
When I open the document on my laptop, using adobe reader, it displays correctly, with no hassles, but when I upload them to the web, or even drag and drop the document in to my browser, these big squares appear. I'v etried different PDF settings to try and fix this, but it's not working and as a temporary solution, the document was uploaded as a PNG.
The document itself isn't linked to any =thing, it's just a document that opens when you click on the web button to view it, and then you can download the pdf document from the website.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'd like to saturate all colors in 132 .xar files.
I had a look at xarlib and I did not try to compile something since I first need to get Visual C++ to use the supplied pre-built libraries, and I thought I better wait and ask, because in the documentation there's written the year 2007, so Xarlib might be out of date and not work with current .xar files.
My questions:
-Is xarlib still up to date? And is there a sample or framework that I could use to manipulate .xar files?
-Is there anything else that I could try?
I have recently purchased a Pentax K-5 ii and am taking RAW images. Originally I took DNG images but when I saw that the new service pack issued on 31st January gave new support to Pentax K-5 ii RAW format, I thought I would record in PEF.
I did this but find that the images suffer a strange color reversal: Red is recorded as Blue; Green and Yellow as Cyan; Blue as Brown and Brown as Magenta. The images appear in their correct colors in other software and on the monitor in the camera.
Im having some color discrepancies in ps cs2. The colors that i see on my workspace(psd) are different from the colors that appear when i save the image. Check the screen grab for an example. This effect is way more pronounced on my screen.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI dropped a raster image into Illustrator (AI) and with Live Trace, turned it into a vector image that looks excellent on my monitor. However, when I load the vector file into a PDF and then open the PDF, I see small, light gray hairlines between the colors.
I'm making a product label for a client. He wants a particular photograph (JPEG) for the background. The printing house wants vector images in CMYK.I'm fairly new to AI and probably not using "approved methods" although I took what I thought were logic steps to achieve my desired end.
I took the RGB JPEG, converted it to a .tiff in CMYK. I also tried converting the JPEG to .bmp and .esp - all in CMYK, before moving to AI. I Also tried placing the JPEG directly into AI.
I dropped those images into Illustrator separately and did Live Traces on each. At this stage, each attempt gave me excellent vector images in CMYK, but went wonky when I transfer to PDF.
Oddly, when I make a hard copy of that PDF on a hi rez digital printer (2400 dpi), the lines do not appear. However, I am still very concerned about those lines, because I will be sending a job off to be done on four-color offset printing. I'm sure the printer will freak out if he sees those lines and I am even more concerned that those lines may show up in the four-colour print process.
A local graphics person I spoke with suggested I would find my solution in Pathfinder, but I tinkered with that feature quite a bit and could not resolve the problem. Although, I wonder yet if that may be where I might find the solution, because when I hit Expand the blue path lines seem to correspond with the troublesome gray lines.
Someone else told me to hit Expand and then turn off Stroke. I believe I did that correctly, but there was no difference. I also saw no difference when I applied the maximum value for the Stroke. Other attempts at finding a remedy included Resample deselected, then Resample with a resolution of 300,
Using the color picker, I select a hue on the right side and then I select a color and a value for the color by dragging up or down in the field. If I then take the hue slider and drag it to a different hue and do not touch the location of the circle in the color field, is the new color the same value as the previous color?

I am trying to export a file for my printer and my CMYK colors are not looking right on the exported file, they are very dull and the colors are not the same at all.
I have changed my DRAW files to be ONLY CMYK colors and have experimented with the Color Management tool to no use at all and reset the workspace.
For example: the blues that my client chose are C56 M0 Y6 K0 and C30 M0 Y60 K0 - they look great onscreen, but once I export to a jpg/eps/tif/etc the colors dull down and don't match at all!
