Photoshop :: How To Check Brightest Whites 240 And Blacks 30

May 6, 2011

I am doing a product shot, and the company's spec sheet advises that the brightest (or maybe lightest??) whites be 240, and the blacks around 30. I think this has something to do with levels, and not having blown-out whites or clipped blacks, but how do I check that those are the levels in my final proofs?

I know if you Control Click on the RGB channel in the channels palette that
you basic select all of the whites in the image. Is there any way to do this

Is there any way that Smoke can see/output sub-blacks and super whites? Can't find any way of seeing them on my scope, Smoke just clamps everything.

(I need these settings as I print from sepcific palettes)In Print settings I print on Custom Mode with no color adjustment.I have recently upgraded to Photoshop CS6 and believe there must be an option somewhere to do with white handling I've missed.

GIMP :: Color Correction / Matching Without Whites

Oct 21, 2011

I have a set of photos, taken a while back. They're closeups of the stages of a craft process, and not easily reshootable.

I was with the craft, I didn't notice that the day was passing, and that the light I was shooting with was varying, and I didn't do a manual white balance for each shot.

Each photo on its own looks "OK", but when I tried a montage, the white balance differences between the shots was UGLY.

So - I don't need accurately calibrated shots, but I'd like the colorspace of all the photos to be as similar as possible, so that identical physical objects have the same in-image colors.

There are several areas in the photos that are of the same (physical) item that could be used to drive a calibration/matching process, but they're not white/gray/black.

So - how do I match up the colors? I've tried to botch at it by hand editing curves but it was tedious and error prone.

GIMP :: Adjusting Colors But Not Whites (2012)

Jun 29, 2012

I have a set of icons which are a specific color (blue) with white text on them. I want to change them to be a different color(turquoise) and a fair bit darker, but I want the text to remain white. When I use Colors -> Hue-Saturation, I can get the desired color I want, but the text ends up looking grey because I need to bring down the lightness slider to achieve the color I want. Is there a better way to accomplish the task I need without affecting the white?

Photoshop :: Blacks For Printing

Jan 1, 2009

If I mix a rich black using the CMYK colour picker, set it as the default foreground colour, will that black be used for printing? I am just not sure that for printing PS does not just use a 100% K.

Photoshop :: Opening Colours As Blacks

Apr 16, 2013

a colleague has been working on a website and the below images show the files and colours they should be, but he has opened the files up again yesterday and the files show as per the second image (the colours have changed from blues to all black but with edges defined). The document was originally created in CMYK and brought from a PDF (I know, but it wasnt us!) so there may be some legacy there, but the only thing we could think of was a colour gamut or web colour warning, but changing those didn't seem to make a difference.

Photoshop :: Flattening All Contrast / Where Are Blacks

Dec 10, 2013

I edit a photograph from a Camera Raw file to high contrast, grainy black and white, then when I try to flatten it or save it, it washes all the contrast out completely. When I try to merge layers, flatten image or cmd+opt+e/cmd+opt+shift+e to a new file it does the same thing. Here's what I've tried to correct the issue:

-I've tried saving it as a PSD file, a TIFF, a JPEG and a BMP file
-I've tried calibrating my monitor (X-Rite i1 Pro)
-I've tried soft proofing on and off (left off for now)
-I've tried resetting my colour settings to import files into the working space as ProPhoto & Adobe RGB 1998
-I've tried setting the import as the calibrated settings for the screen rather than ProPhoto or Adobe RGB 1998
-I've checked that all files (apart from a Dodge/Burn Layer which has to be on Soft Light never affected any files before) were set to normal
-I've tried converting profiles from ProPhoto to Adobe 1998, Adobe 1998 to sRGB
-I've tried going to preferences in User>Me>Library>Preferences>Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings and manually resetting all relevant references
-I've tried flushing and resetting all preferences
-I've tried to uninstall and install Photoshop SC6 from scratch
-I've tried restarting the image from the raw file with the new install of CS6, done all the edits again manually...

And it still does the same thing. Whenever I have adjustment layers on my file and have some contrast added that I want to save, it flattens the whole image out..The last attachment is what it looks like in photoshop and another with my colour settings for the (calibrated) screen

Photoshop :: Blacks To Specific Cmyk Values

Apr 14, 2008

I have line drawings in a layout that I scanned in. I'd like them to be the same or close to the black cmyk value of the text in the document. I'm not sure how to accomplish this. I tried channel adjustment and replace color,

putting in the specific value I wanted (I read that c50 m40 y40 k100 was a good black for print), but nothing seems to work correctly. I would like to keep some kind of greyscale value (not make everything black), but I want the darkest shade to be that specific cmyk value. How do I do this?

Photoshop Elements :: Adding Color To Clipart - Can Only Choose Blacks / Grays Or White

Oct 25, 2013

I have a clipart that a friend drew for me that is black and white. I scanned it, added to it and saved it as a .psd. I used a reduced size clipart to add some color. I than decided to add color to the full sized clipart using the bucket tool. The color picker will not allow me to choose any color other than blacks, grays, or white. It worked fine with the first clipart but nothing after. I tried in Elements 6 and just purchased Elements 12 hoping that would be the ticket.

Illustrator :: AI To PDF Export Blacks Look Gray

Jun 3, 2013

I'm on Illustrator CS5 and I am exporting to PDF. My blacks are coming out grey although my settings for Appearance of Black are all set for rich black on both On Screen and Printing/Exporting. I have tinkered with both settings Display All Blacks As Rich Black and Display All Blacks Accurately, I've also tried messing with the color swatches with different blacks and I get nada!
 
Blacks still look grey on export and print grey.
 
My document is set to CMYK and on the Save Adobe PDF dialog, I go to Output and set my Destination to Document CMYK—U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2. I've turned this off and on and exported multiple ways—nada!
 
Blacks still look grey on export and print grey.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 :: Blacks Now Look Different Since Update?

Jul 10, 2013

X6.I'm not sure of the correlation, but it seems that ever since I downloaded the recent update, the colours (including black/grayscales) in the RGB vs CMYK palettes look different.  What I mean is, I have the RGB and CMYK palettes right next to each other, and they used to look identical; now all the CMYK ones look lighter/washed-out than before.Or could it have been a recent Windows update?

Illustrator :: Why Eyedropper Tool Not Make Two Blacks Match

May 24, 2013

I have a black jpeg that i'm using in my illustrator document. I need to make the background the exact same black. I have a large rectangle for my background, and I used the eyedropper tool to select the black from the jpeg. The CMYK numbers are even the exact same, yet when I export the ai file as a jpg/png/pdf the blacks look different! We are going to press next week and I really need the blacks to be the exact same!

Lightroom :: Softproofing Shows Blacks As Milky Grey

May 21, 2012

I have seen a problem like this before, and raised a question on the forum, but realised what was wrong (the problem happened on a full colour image, and once I set the Process to 2012 it went away). However it has cropped up again, and this time the image was imported directly into LR4 so Process was 2012 by default.
 
I have an image which is a glass with liquid in against a black background. I have made a few tweaks in LR and am ready to send it off for printing. I just though I would take a look in Soft Proofing to see how the coloured liquid looked. When I click soft proofing and choose the correct profile supplied by my printing company (which is a 'glossy' profile), the black takes on a milky grey appearance, but according to LR is not out of Gamut.
 
If I choose the matt profile from my printing company, the same effect is there, but less so.
 
I rather think that this is quirk of softproofing black, what with black not actually being a colour and all that. Since there are no gamut warnings, and I have never had a problem with printed images on a black background, then I think I should ignore this. It does give a rather mis-leading impression though.

Photoshop :: Spell Check In CS5

Aug 15, 2012

When I use the spell checker in Photoshop CS5 to check a text layer (in English), all I ever get is a message saying "Spell check complete" -- never any evidence of any errors being detected. It would be nice to think I'm a perfect speller, but the reality is it does this even when I can clearly see there are mistakes (for example, I've tested it by inserting gibberish words into my text).

Where are the spelling dictionaries, etc. installed, and what files should I find there for English spelling?

Photoshop :: How To Check The Size Of An...

Apr 5, 2008

I'm using Photoshop CS 3 to design a website. I used several shapes such as rectangle, line or ellipse of different size. Probably it is a stupid question but I don't know how to check the size of an existing rectangle. I tried free transform tool that selects my rectangle but doesn't show its size. Then I made a selection with rectangular marquee tool but I see nowhere the size of the selected area.

Photoshop :: Check Activation Without Installing?

I was wondering if there was a way to check and see if a program has been activated?
 
I have a few previous Adobe programs that I have unistalled from my computer years ago, after I upgraded the program, and I wanted to find out if there was a way to see if the activation code was deactivated or not. Is there a page that Adobe has that you can go and enter in an activation code and see if it is activated or if it has not activated?
