Photoshop :: Converting From RGB To LAB Color
Jul 6, 2007
After creating two adjustment layers and then selecting the background layer, i attempt to convert from RGB color to LAB color but get the following warning: "Changing modes will discard an adjustment layer; change mode anyway?" and if i click on "OK," an adjustment layer disappears. Why does this happen and how can i prevent losing an adjustment layer. i am using CS2 and have a 16 bit image file. (i am converting to LAB in order to sharpen and will subsequently convert back to RGB ).

I need to convert a layer so that it is only one color(black). It can't have any other shades in it. I tried color overlay, but there are still little spots where there are shades of grey on the outsides of the graphic,

I like to go into LAB mode to boost the colours on my photos. I have created an action that converts to LAB, applies a couple of curves, and then converts the image back to RBG. I created a droplet with the intent of using the droplet in Lightroom. My plan was to apply to a smart collection of photos. However, the droplet says that the convert is not available. What am I doing wrong? Am I approaching this the wrong way? Is there a better way? I take team photos and I have HUNDREDS to do. This droplet will save me DAYS of editting time.

Got specs for converting a print ad to jpg for ATM: 800wx600h; 72dpi; 256 colors. As far as I know, the only way to get 256 colors is to convert to index. When I do, the halftones get slightly grainy.
Also, I can only save the file as .psd, not .jpg as required. How to convert my file to 72 dpi jpg with 256 colors.

After converting a color photo to black and white, the image that prints out has a sepia tone to it. The image looks black and white on my screen and when I print a black and white image directly from the internet, it prints out in good black and white mode. What adjustment is available to get rid of this sepia tone?

I have multiple files that I am converting to PDF files to print and all of them converted fine except one. When I convert it to a PDF half of the color changes to black. I can't figure it out and I feel like I've tried everything! And this is what it looks like when I convert it to a PDF.

Is there any way to convert an object using a blend mode to the equivalent a color with no blend mode?
For example:
Currently, I just adjust the color myself, but It seems like there should be a way to automate this.

While working in LR 4, after several hundred edits for no reason it started converting the images to B/W? Seems to be some sort of glitch, they are color then change to B/W?

I am one of the people who found that PSP X6 has problems converting embedded color spaces.
After some difficulties I eventually got a case number which meant that I could get some support. I supplied a problem description and sample files to first level support. This is the reply that I received:
The file was saved as 16 bit TIFF with ProPhoto as the color space, this one is a big factor because PaintShop Pro (X5 or X6) has its own color space and is only supporting RGB color space. It is normal for PaintShop Pro to convert your image to sRGB because that is the embedded color space. Also, I suggest you to contact ProPhoto to know what do they support or if they support PaintShop Pro.
Color shifting is normal due to the color space that is being used by a specific program (i.e. PaintShop Pro). Colors that are not within the range of RGB color space will be determined as imaginary colors.

When using "convertpstyles" to convert from ctb to stb I am asked to select a stb file. When I do I am given an error that says the color mapping table I have selected does not contain a color mapping table and cannot be used to convert the drawing.

I'm attempting to convert the following Image to vector using Illustrator CS6: URL.....
I've been messing around with Live trace for a few days, but every time I try to convert it to Vector, it destroys my gradient, and converts my Pantone to CMYK.
URLs.....What I need to do, is convert to vector while keeping the gradient, and pantone colors in the graphic to prepare for screen printing.Before anyone says "you don't need to use vector for screen printing". We run Corel X4 on our transparency machine, so I need to convert to vector, and keep the halftones fine, as well as keep the pantone color book.It doesn't need to be a "quick" way to do it...it just needs to be done.

Corel X4. While the images on my screen appear as I want them, and will print true to their colors on my printer, when I convert the files to pdf, jpg or eps formats to send out, the colors lose their vibrancy and appear (and reproduce) washed out. It seems as though it's something in the conversion process.

I always use CMYK in my designs and the Pantone color codes for their logo design. I have never had to convert them before and have searched forums and boards with no luck in finding an easy way to do this.

I'm trying to print colour to my epsom inkjet but for some reason Illustrator keeps converting my colour image to greyscale.
Now I've been using Illustrator for years and this is a new problem I've not come across before. Is there something I can do to stop it doing it - maybe there's a setting that has accidentally switched on that converts all to greyscale.
If not then I suppose I'll have to revert to "turning it on and off again"!

How the PMS color palettes "simulate" on screen how the color will print on different substrates (glossy vs matte vs uncoated paper). That's great for comps, but if you convert it to CMYK to print it, and the values are representing a "simulated" color it won't look correct (by that I mean come close to matching the spot color). For example, the uncoated palette simulates the color by making them appear a bit washed out on screen - pretty good visual simulation. But it might do so by adding black and cyan to orange for example, etc. - effectively dulling the original color.
So if I convert that to CMYK within the new Pantone + color palette, and then send it to the printer - it won't appear as it did on screen, it will dull the end color even more because it's converted the color to the dull simulated version - what a disaster! It's only doing half the job - showing us what it should look like on screen. In order to be truly efficient for design professionals the CMYK conversion might remove black and cyan completely to effectively brighten the color in the final output on uncoated paper. I would prefer it just stick to the standard conversion, which Pantone did have as a standard palette option (PMS to process), and then I can adjust if I think it's necessary.
Any corporate branding system will likely start with a PMS spot color palette for the identity. Then it will build into many different adaptations - full color brochures, large format banners and trade show graphics, website, advertising. So any corporate branding system will need to have PMS, CMYK and RGB versions of their main corporate color palette. There was a standard for these translations that was automatically consistent in the Adobe software and that is now all over the place, so it relies on individuals manually adapting the color mixes for final use - what a great way to screw things up.

Is there a way to apply a color to selected objects without having to search for the color in the color palette. So say if I am working with an image that has multiple colors but want to use only one of the colors in that image, is there a way to apply it without having to create or add it to the palette.

Whenever I want an image that I have edited in Photoshop to look good in a browser, I have to convert the image to my monitor's profile for it to look the way it did in Photoshop. So, the workflow is 1) finish editing 2) convert to profile for my monitor's profile 3) Save for web...
Color mgmt makes my head swim but I sort of see why this is. But my question is, most places on the web, I see people are just converting to SRGB for the web and I will say that that does not work for me at all. Does that mean they are talking about converting the color space and not the profile?
I admit that my monitor in its uncorrected stated is way off. That is to say, after I run the Spyder software my monitor colors look a LOT different. I shouldn't think this would matter but I'm just throwing it out there. I am a Windows user.
The reason I am asking this is because when I try converting images on export in LIGHTROOM to my monitor profile it does no good. The image looks terrible in the browser.
Am I missing something? Do I have a setting set wrong somewhere or does everybody have to convert to the monitor profile to get stuff to look right in a browser.

Where you convert to B & W on Version CS2. I had elements 8 for a while until I went into the big leagues and there was a nice area there where I had several 'programmed' options for different variations of B & W for the same photo to choose from. Where is that on CS2?

The web gallery function in CS5 seems to be completely different in CC.
Original system was Windows XP 32 bit with CS5 PS, that crashed and setup a new system with Windows 7 Pro 64 bit and Adobe CC.
The AOM was installed (Adobe Output Module), which apparently is the new web gallery function.
My question is, can the previous data from the CS5 Web Gallery be migrated to the AOM in CC ?

So... I am a bit of an amateur and have been shooting all of pictures in jpeg format. I use Lightroom 4 and Photoshop Cs6 for editing them. I am finally making the switch to raw format. I would like all of my pictures to be in raw or dng to work better with lightroom, so here is my question. Is it possible to convert jpeg fies to raw or dng? Would it be a stupid idea to batch convert all of my jpegs into raw format? Is it even possible?

I just downloaded a St. Patrick's day background from i Stock Photo. Nice vibrant green. We all know when converting to CMYK from RGB, there is a color shift but this is pretty dang dramatic. Any basic tips on getting some of that vibrant color back after converting?

I am trying to create a header for my e newsletter in Photoshop. I want to put the logo on top of a background of the same color as my logo. I have the CMYK ref for the logo, and this looks fine when I print it out. However, when viewed online or just on the computer - the background red is slightly brighter than in print.
I have tried using an RGB converter to change CMYK to RGB but this hasn't done anything.

I am trying to create a card, using a standard layout size of 4.25 x 8.25. I have the resolution set to 300 PPI.
While adding layers, I am also adding in some images to the card for a newborn. The image res is 300 DPI, but once I open the image in PS, then pull it down into the new project, it auto commits to a 72 DPI. I can't for the life of me figure out why it is doing this.
I have tried going into the image>image size and changing it to 300 DPI, but even after I change it, when I go to the file information page, it tells me that the image is still set to 72 DPI.
