Photoshop :: Colour Consistency - Reproduce Logo On Printed Documents And Use It For Embroidery On Clothing
Nov 12, 2012
I have received a new logo from our brand developers. The spec is
C - 0
M - 98
Y - 75
K - 22
Â
or Pantone 1805
Â
or R - 191
    G - 49
    B - 26
Â
I get a different colour depending on which spec I use, and if I sample a digital document, a fourth variation on red. Am I just not understanding these colour specs? I want to be able to reproduce the logo on printed documents, and use it for embroidery on clothing. I also need to produce adobe pdf files and jpegs to email copy to advertisers.

I'm frequently creating .gif and .jpg images for web ads and these have to be within a strict 40KB size limit which is often tricky for larger formats. Now a new 'fireplace' format has been created that is an ad that is an image frame around the sides and top of a web page, consisting of two vertical pieces each side of the page and a horizontal bar along the top that links both the side pieces into a single seamless image. This means that I have to create three separate image files, each of which has to be less than 40KB and because each of these pieces is also quite large I will have to carefully adjust the images settings in 'Save for Web and Devices' to get the file size within this limit. My main problem, however, is how do I do that whilst ensuring that the visual consistency between the images is such that it isn't noticable where the three separate pieces join?
Â
For example, if the side pieces have radically different style and colour of content to each other and the top part, saving these as separate .gif files could result in each file having a different indexed colour palette and number of colours etc, making the separate pieces look visually different and the places where they join look really obvious and clumsy.
Â
What steps do I take to keep within the file size for the images whilst keeping the images looking seamlessly consistent? This isn't as much of a problem in .jpg but there may be times when using .gif is more efficient - is there a way to save an indexed colour palette for .gif and apply it across multiple files?
Â
The master file is created as a single image in Photoshop CS4 and later split into three files which are saved as .gif or .jpg.

I made a coloured square in PS. I saved it as a JPG. I saved it as a PNG. I saved it as a PSD. I dragged all three of these into InDesign. The JPG and the PSD were the same colour. The PNG was different. Now, before you all say that PNG's do funny things to colours, let me just say that the PNG was the ONLY one out of the three that matched a coloured square I made in InDesign with the same RGB values as what I made in PS. Both programs were using the same colour settings.
Just for interests sake, I tried the same experiment in Illustrator. Interestingly, I had no problems in Illie - all 3 (JPG, PNG and AI) files were the same colour as each other AND the same colour as the test square in InDesign.
I design graphics for Scrapbooking kits which I am beginning to sell and need both JPGS and PNGS (because of transparency) for these kits. AND I need the colour to be consistent. I also design in Illustrator (where there appeared to be no problems), but obviously there are some things that are simply not possible in Illustrator.

I'm looking to add the name of the person printing the document as well as the date to any paper copies printed. Â However, since everythign is stored in Vault, this needs to be done without making any changes to the document that require saving the document.
Ideally this would be automatic(requiring no user input).
I've used both iLogic and built Inventor Addins before.

simple logo in blue and grey which we want to get professioannly printed. I don't know much about print, but I do know that until now with a .psd and a .eps I've always got my stuff done in acceptable quality.
Now the printshop seems unable to get the colours right. The logo only has 2 colours, blue and gray. For both I have given them specs in 5 colour models, such as this, and handed them the file in .psd, .eps and .ai:
R: 15
G: 106
B: 200
C: 80
M: 60
Y: 00
K: 00
HEX: 0f6aff
L: 48
a: 22
b: -82
H: 217
S: 94
B: 100
Now the blue they have come up with in a print preview looks absolutely nothing like this. And the grey is almost transparent.
They asked for Pantone colours. I created the logo in Photoshop, so all I have are these specs. Is it impossible to print a logo more or less correctly with exact values from 5 different colour models?
What can I do to convey them more or less precisely which kind of blue we want?

I'm having trouble getting both of my printers to print out to the same tone/colour that is displayed on my Monitor. Neither are accurate
Is there anything I can do with my monitor settings, or my photoshop/illustrator colour settings so that what I see on the screen is what will be printed out.
The printers are :
1) Hewlett Packard 1220C
2)Epson Stylus 2100
They both print out differently.
For the HP printer I've looked at the 'Image Colour Management' and it states the 'ICM is handled by host'
For the Epson printer the Colour Management is set to 'Automatic: Windows will automatically select the best colour profile from the list of associated color profiles'
I know it's possible to change the Color Setting in Photoshop but I don't really know what to set it to, and who to set it so it's as close to my monitor display as possible. (I work with RGB colour)

I run AI CS6. I open new document and prepare two shapes and fill them up with Pantone colors for reference, for my design. I procced to make some work, name cards for example.
Â
Now I want to send the card to my printer, while I work on the rest of colleterals. So I open new document, identical to the one I oppened 30 minutes ago. I don't change color setting or anything. But when I paste the cards to new document, they change color.When I sample the colors, the Color Pallet identifes them correctly by thier pantone number.

I have printed off the colour swatch within Versaworks, but when I use the colours (which have been imported from versaworks) in corel they do not print out the same colour. The media is the same. I have tried deleting the colours and readding them in but this does not seem to make any difference.Â

It's the perennial problem with print-on-demand – inconsistent quality, particularly in the images. In the latest proof received, there are 24 B&W images, all quite similar in values, all 7x7cm. Despite all images seeming to have a very similar range of values, the proof came back with 4 pics looking absolutely brilliant (when one has an idea of what to expect from POD process) and the rest, not mediocre, but dramatically inferior. Blacks and crispness of the the four good images are excellent, while the rest are washed out with poor contrast.
Â
When viewing the images on screen or printed out, the inconsistency in values isn't apparent (not that this is a method to judge what to expect from POD); the results are at least stable. I might hope for some of that consistency in the printed book, revealing poor or better quality across the board, when similar images are present. Perhaps the printer makes selective adjustments to some – which is to be checked, but until then, what are the fundamentals of optimizing images for POD?Â

I am working in PhotoShop CS in CMYK. I am satisfied with my colors in PhotoShop, but when I import the graphics into InDesign, the colors dull considerably. I take this to mean they will print similarly.
I have had issues with getting my CMYK files to print like they look on screen. Does anyone have any tips on how I could get what I see on the screen to match more closely what will come out of the printer?

I'm somewhat new to Edge Animate and I'm trying to incorporate simple animation into a DPS piece that my company has been publishing for the past year. A few questions:
Â
1) Is there a "trick" to getting transparencies to work? I've had zero luck so far and I'm beginning to resign myself to just putting the entire design into the Edge composition as a work around. There must be an easier way? I'm hoping I'm missing something simple and obvious. From my research, I've gleaned that the poster image feature is a major player in all the headaches. Speaking of which, do you have to start over and rebuild a comp everytime you need to publish without a poster?
Â
2) I've noticed that playback is really inconsistant. Most of the time, when I first swipe on a page, the animation won't play at all. Subsequent swipes, and it begins playing fairly consistency.
Â
3) Finally, is there any guidelines for SVG settings used in Edge? I found that many of the vector files I was using in comps were messing w/playback, so I ended up subbing them out for pngs.

I am looking for a couple of plugins that can help me add texture and draping effects to my clothing designs, which at the moment don't even look 2D. Am looking also for something that will help me design and implement patterns, such as checks with out having to copy and paste. The easier to use the better as I do not know Photoshop CS that well.

I m using Photoshop to work on clothing textures and later import them into Second Life.Most of the time I use Dodge and Burn tool to create the effects on clothing. I believe there are other methods to create verry good looking clothing such as this picture shows (please take a look only at the pants and the effects) What else (or methods) can you use to create such great (wet)look?

I've done many many searches for this type of effect, but I haven't had much luck. I'm trying to create a sequence of images of ripped clothing. As in the Incredible Hulk, busting out of the clothes.
In the past I've used the smear tool with different shaped brushes, but that doesn't really do it too well.

Given the poor support for straight stitch counted embroidery (aka Spanish Stitch, Holbein Stitch, Punto Scritto, double running stitch) in commercial targeted-purpose stitching chart creation programs, I came up with a GIMP based solution. I've posted a seven part tutorial on a way to do it. It's aimed at absolute beginners because most folk doing this type of stitching are not conversant with graphics program concepts or methods.

it is possible to custom clothing for 3D Daz models using Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended? I can find tutors on painting models but nothing on making the custom clothing itself, not a texture for other clothing but making my own clothing for DAZ Kids4. I have been using Hexagon to work with clothing but was looking for a photoshop alternative method.

I am trying to change the color of some clothing from black to a tan or gray.  I have seen tutuorials that use a hue/saturation layer mask to accomplish this task. But I find that with black clothes nothing happens when I change the hue. I assume this is because of the black? At any rate, what is the best way to turn something from black to another color?

I have a problem that's been driving me nuts for the past couple of weeks. I have a collectible playing card that I' like to reprint . The card was printed using an offset press and so there is a distinct halftone pattern on the card. What I'd like to do is to scan the card, remove the pattern in photoshop (Noise->Median), use CorelDraw to print a ps which would reproduce the exact same pattern, and print it using Ghost Script with my Laser Jet 200 (600 dpi).
Here's a link to the card:[URL]......
So I have 3 questions.
Is it possible to reproduce the halftone pattern ?
If yes, can I do it with my printer ?
If no, what printer could do it ?

I like these PS general photo enhancements, and would like to create/buy LR4 presets that do exactly this. Only AutoTone seems to be bundled with LR4. And the third party products advertised all specialize in special affects. I am looking for general image enhancements. I like the LR4 workflow would like to remain in that environment instead of PS.
