Photoshop :: CMYK Colors Appearing Slightly Different In CS6?

Mar 18, 2013

Photoshop 5, (not CS5, but version 5). I was using it on a Windows XP computer, but my new computer, running on Windows 7, would not run Photoshop 5. So, I bought CS6.

There's one problem. I use Photoshop primarily for coloring comics. Which means I create images in CMYK color. And I'm noticing a slight difference in certain colors in this new version. Most noticeably, in a color combo I use for coloring average "Caucasian Flesh".
 
My settings for this shade would normally be:

C-3
M-25
Y-25
K-0
 
This, in the old version of  Photoshop, would produce a pretty average "beige" color. However, when I use this same color setting in the new version, the shade is noticeable pinker. Strangely, when I open documents in CS6 created in the older version, they retain the old, proper "beige" look. But the same color settiing in a new document produces this "rosey beige" color.  (By the way, this isn't a "monitor issue"...... I have printed out the documents, and it's just as apparent in the printed versions.).
 
I suppose I could just use an altered color setting with less magenta, but I'd like to find out why this is happening, and why I can't use the same color settings I did in the old version of Photoshop.

Illustrator :: Find Closest Pantone Spot Colors For CMYK Colors?

Mar 21, 2013

Using CS6 on a MacBookPro Is there a way to find the closest matching Pantone spot colors to the cmyk colors I've created in Illustrator? I know it's easy in Photoshop using the color picker, but there must be a way to do this in Illustrator.

Photoshop :: Colors Appearing As Black

Mar 10, 2013

I'm having a strange issue in Photoshop CS6 at the moment. Not sure when it started or what's causing it! It seems that when I bring in certain colors, Photoshop interrupt them as black, however if I output the file as a JPEG (or any file-type for that matter), they appear fine. It just means it's impossible to color anything in PS as it all looks mad!
 
I first noticed the issue when opening a specific files, but I've now found I can actually recreate it in certain files with adjustment filters, the easiest way to demonstrate seems to be to crank up the saturation. For example;
 
Original Image: 
Output Image (w/ saturation at +68): 
Image as in Photoshop (w saturation at +68):
 
I'm running Photoshop CS6 Extended (13.1.2 x64) on Windows 7 Pro 64-Bit. I'm running hardware acceleration on my ATI Radeon 7850, but turning it on or off makes no difference. The problem is also present on all color profiles, although for clarity I'm currently on the Europe General Purpose 3 preset. I'm aware I could be being an idiot here and turned some feature on that I didn't know about, but I just can't work out what's going on! I have another install of Photoshop CS6 at my other workplace, this time running on Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leapord - that doesn't seem to suffer any issues, but this machine is more important!

Photoshop :: RGB And CMYK Gamut Colors

Feb 20, 2013

So I've been having this issue with Photoshop ever since I started using it on my Windows machine. On my Mac. I could set something to any color and it would appear that way on the screen in RGB mode. However, when I try and do that with the same exact color on my Windows machine it appears in black. I don't have Gamut Warnings on either. However, when I switch the mode to CMYK the color appears. The problem with this is I use photoshop for GUI's and such, not print materiel so if I have it show in CMYK Mode it will give me an inacurate look at how the colors will look.

Photoshop :: CMYK Colors And Profiles

May 30, 2012

I am using PS CS4 and I am in CMYK, proof setup is working CMYK and the color settings I am using is U.S Web Coated (SWOP) v2.
 
If I slect a color which is 100% black (greyscale) which is 0 C, 0 M, 0 Y, 100 K my color picker comes out at a muddy grey with a touch of red.
 
Why is this? Otherwise I have selected 100, 100, 100, 100 and this is 100% black for CMYK
 
Should I not worry about this?
 
My output is CYMK digital print

Photoshop :: Question About RGB / CMYK Colors In...

Sep 2, 2008

In the color picker, if I enter R255-G80-B0, the CMYK color reads M83-Y100. However, if I instead enter the M83-Y100 in CMYK first, then the RBG numbers are R240-G83-B35, and if I enter these numbers first, then the CMYK numbers change again.

Why is this happening? Shouldn't the RBG translate to to just one CMYK color and vis versa?

Photoshop :: Mixing Pantone Colors - Just Like CMYK Channels?

Oct 31, 2013

What I'd like to do [in photoshop] is treat 4 pantone colors just like CMYK channels. What I mean by that is that I would like to replace Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black with my own colors [pantone colors] and have them mix and act exactly like those channels. As in, when I open a full color image, and my pantone [or any color] channels or color profile is active, the full color image will react to those colors [with the blending of the colors].
 
Instead of 45% Cyan, 55% Magenta, 83% Yellow, and 2% Black in a given spot, it would be a mix of the 4 chosen colors [example: 45% pantone A, 55% Pantone B, 83% Pantone C, 2% Pantone D].
 
or to put it another way, if I were to color the background in, say, a blue, I would be able to use the "Info" panel to see how much of each pantone color was mixed to create that color. Obviously there would be a limit to the colors I could create based on the pantone colors I select.
 
I don't want to do anything printing wise with this technique. I am looking at it solely as an on screen viewer or perhaps use it in some manner for screen printing.

Photoshop :: Spot Colors Do Not Hold CMYK Values

Dec 19, 2012

When placing a .psd file with a spot channel into illustrator, and then later copying this and pasting back into Photoshop the color shifts.
 
Original Photoshop spot color channel (0/100/81/16)
Color after pasting back into Photoshop (13/99/88/4)
 
We are making renders of packaging, so the designs are from illustrator. We correct this by removing the Photoshop spot channel and recreating this as a CMYK layer, but looking to avoid this step as we do many many renders. Even with assign color profile set to none this happens.
 
Viewing Photoshop channels you can see a difference in values between the linked image and illustrator flat tint.

Illustrator :: Colors Appearing Different / Darker Compared To Color Picker?

Apr 4, 2013

Everytime I select a color in Illustrator it has the "Out of gamut" warning and the color I want appears darker and different then how It looks in the preview of color picker. It is making the colors of my design really ugly. This problem also seems to be happening when I select a color in Indesign, but I'm not sure if this is caused by the same thing.

Illustrator :: How To Convert Colors From RGB To CMYK

Jan 21, 2014

I always find beautiful RGB-vectors which I want to use for a print design. But once converted via Illustrator to CMYK, the image often annoys me because of the less bright and powerful colours.
 
So: what is the best way to recolor a nice and colourful vector from RGB tot CMYK (possibly with finding the right alternative colors in CMYK?) in Illustrator?

Illustrator :: CMYK Rendering Different Colors

Dec 2, 2012

I'm still using CS3.  A friend sent me a document created in CS6 (I think) that he saved as a CS3 document.  When I open this blank document he sent me, and then copy and paste a CMYK object from my CS3 original to his blank CS6 (saved as CS3), the object changes color quite noticeably (darker).  The CMYK values are identical, but they don't look anything alike.  On the left is a screen grab from my original CS3 document, and next to it a screen grab after I've copied and pasted the exact same objects into the CS6 created document.  The CMYK values are identical in both, and they're being displayed on the same computer on the same monitor.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 :: Colors Change From CMYK To RGB

Aug 14, 2013

when I select "all objects" via the menu and remove the setting "scale with object" from the object properties the color changes from CMYK to RGB. I cannot even redo. All actions are redone but not the color. The primary color of the document is CMYK. This happens only to the borders and not to the fillings.

Xara :: CMYK Colors And RGB Images With Alpha Channel

Oct 27, 2011

I'm exporting a design for the print shop, and have the following problem:

I have converted all colors to CMYK, and that's fine so far... however, I have imported a few PNGs with alpha channel into the design, and in the PDF output, these create a 'box' around them that seemingly has a flattened RGB version of whatever was behind it + the PNG image.

Same happens with any objects that have drop shadows.

Illustrator :: Colors Change In Objects In Both RGB And CMYK Formats

Apr 26, 2013

I've recently upgraded to CS6 and also to OS 10.8...  Im working in multiple Illustrator docs using a color of 100-87-32-32. When I change objects to that color by keying it in to the color pallete, it changes. If I click off, go away and come back the color shifts to 100-82-36-29 or something similar.
 
Some objects retain and others shift. What gives?

Illustrator :: CS6 - Find Process Colors (CMYK) In A File

Mar 26, 2013

I work in prepress. I have an Illustrator CS6 file that is made up of 3 Pantone Spot colors. I save the file as an eps from Illustrator and rip the file with our prepress software. When previewing the ripped file with our prepress software it shows me that I have process colors (CMYK) somewhere in the file. I can not see these colors visually in the ripped file so I go back to Illustrator to see if I can edit them out of the file. I use the Preview Separations tool but can't find those process colors anywhere. There are no placed images, everything is vector art. I double check any white color and make sure it doesn't have any tiny percentage of process color in it. I make sure my spot colors are indeed spot colors and not process colors. I add used colors, I delete unused colors. I can't find the CMYK being used anywhere in my Illustrator file. How to clean up these "hidden" colors? This was also a problem in CS3. I'm using an iMac 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5, Mac OS X, Version 10.7.5

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4 :: Displaying Incorrect CMYK Palette Colors?

Dec 20, 2011

I used to have X4 installed on XP and it worked fine. Recently I re-install the program onto my new Win7 PC. It was working fine at first but one day my CMYK palette turn into some weird colors (much brighter than the original one) 

I tried to hold F8 to launch X4 to turn it back to dafault settings but no go. I tried uninstall and reinstall and it's the same. Finally I downloaded the latest X5 Free trial and the color palettes are displaying correctly! (So i figure it's not my monitor's problem nor some Windows setting.)

(X5 Displaying the correct CMYK color palette)(Ised X4 for a few days and the colors became much brighter than the original ones.)

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4 :: Exported Files Don't Show True CMYK Colors

Aug 4, 2011

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!

Photoshop :: Printing From PDF Is Slightly Larger

Apr 16, 2013

I placed an image on an 8.5x11 piece of paper and saved it as a PDF. Once it was printed directly from Acrobat the image was printed slightly larger than when I print directly from Photoshop. Why is this and is there any way I can fix it?

By the way I've already checked to see if "scale to fit page" was checked and it was not.
 
I was wondering this b/c I'm sending a pdf to someone and I'm worried it's going to print larger than the actual size I want it at.
