Have worked within Photoshop for about a year now and just recently lost dynamic colors in the color Library. Example: no longer can get cherry red. My Illustrator still shows this bright color, web based images show this red, so it's not the monitor. My RGB 255 red, 0 green and 0 black comes out orange.
I don't know how or when this happened, but i lost almost all my default Modifier Sets.Reverting/Resetting the whole GUI didnd't work at all.How can i get them back, without reinstalling Max?
When I boot the computer - dell - running xp sp2 - the colors are normal - but when I log in it goes to all gray scale...
Here is what happened:
I loaded an older version of photoshop 5.5 and then opened it up - it asked me to calibrate my monitor and walked me through a wizard. before I was even finished it turned everything gray and that's the way it is now...
In my PS7.0 I have lost my greys...It always shows brown even when I enter #333333 or anything grey. If I transfer the color to Image ready it shows the color in grey like it should be seen.
I'm having a major issue here, I use custom colors (created in my custom palette), X^ used to hold it very nicely, even in PDF exports etc.
Now - with the latest update, X6 "forgets" the custom colors, it resets it to default color, I have to manually set every object to the custom color all over again.
I'm trying to put a GIF into a Kindle book. The GIF itself looks great, and I'm pretty darn good at formatting books if I do say so myself.
For some reason, the black in my GIF images are becoming transparent once loaded to a Kindle mobi file. Now I've used GIFs from Gimp like this before, so it doesn't really make any sense... I've not done anything (as far as I know) to make it transparent, and it's definitely not transparent in the GIF itself.
I tried changing the color of the text, but that hasn't made any difference, so I'm led to believe it's something I'm doing wrong with the text tool, but what that could be.
I started using a mac laptop in the field and always used windows pc at home. A portable hard drive holds the lightroom catalog. It's fat32 formatted so it can be used by both mac and windows.
A catalog made by the mac lightroom opens fine in windows. However, all the color labels are lost. The flags and stars are retained.
If a color label is changed on a photo by the windows version of lightroom, then when that catalog is opened on the mac, that photo has no color label. (even though the mac originally gave it a color label)
And all the original color labels that were made by the mac magically return as they were assigned.
To trouble shoot this, I installed the Lightroom 3.6 trial on 2 other pcs - one runs windows 7 32 bit and the other windows 7 64 bit. These installs see the mac created catalog properly.
All the color labels are there and changing one on a windows box is properly reflected on the mac when that catalog is opened.
This is so annoying.My main pc must have an allergy to my mac. I removed and reinstalled lightroom on my pc-same problem. Now i have to figure out what is interfering with my main pc lightroom install.
It cant be lightroom cause i removed it and reinstalled it. but it might be one of the plug ins i use. these magically reappearred even after i reinstalled lightroom after removing it.
I'm working on a cd package. I have a detailed vector graphic in the design. It looks great in illustrator , but when i save as pdf, i lose a huge amount of clarity.I have dark stroke on it, at .25 in a dark color and the fill is lighter. Should I increase the stroke weight? Rough size of the graphic is 5x3...
We are having problems with text in Illustrator CS6.
1. When we copy / paste text within illustrator all color information is lost. 2. When we save documents in Illustrator CS6 then re-open text with color attributes changes to different random colors!!
For example: If we save an Illustrator document with a paragraph of text that is part red and part black when we re-open the same paragraph might be all gray, or orange or (you pick a color).
I was disappointed to see that the CS6 More Options panel still has 8 bit dither. Why isn't it 10 bit by default ? Shouldn't Photoshop be sending 10 bit to monitors with 10 bit LUT for real wide gamut? Some printers are going beyond 8 bit now, also.
The color space I use as a default throughout CS6 for RGB is Adobe RGB 1998. This is because I do not want all my RGB work to be in sRGB. Here is a simple workflow I am having problems with:
1. I set up a new web project and use the sRGB color space 2. I export the file as a flat PNG via 'Save To Web'. In the settings, 'convert to sRGB' is selected. 3. I open the file and color is off. I do not get a color space dialog when opening the file. 4. I need to then go into Assign Profile and assign the sRGB color profile, then... 5. Convert profile to convert to sRGB.
If I do the above but save out a JPEG...
1. When opening the jpeg, again no color warning dialog. 2. When I go to Assign Profile, the default is set to 'Do not color manage this document'.
The above also happens outside of Save to Web, as when I save Layer Comps to PNG files.But...if I save a JPEG file via Save As, the sRGB color space is correctly tagged when I open the file. Odd.Why are not Save to Web's save sRGB color space actually saving the color space in either PNG or JPEG formats?
Why do I get much different results between going from Assign Profile to Convert Profile? I thought Assign was assigning that color profile without converting the actual document, where Convert actually changes the image. I played with the advanced options in convert, but still cannot get anything super close to the original file.
how to change the defaulf background color back to white ... all files open with a yellow background, the default icon on the tool bar is yellow also. I click on restore default background color and it stays yellow even on a grayscale file ...
I've looked and looked, and even Googled. how to change the default color profile when you start a New image file? In CS5 mine defaults to sRGB (Under the Advanced drop down) but my CS6 is ProPhoto RGB which means I have to change it manually nearly every time I paste an image copied via right click in a web browser.
I recently installed Photoshop 7 on my PC and when I open the program the default color settings appear all yellow and green toned and not true RGB. I have tried messing with the settings but I cannot seem to solve the problem. It would be easier if I could show the screen shot of what I am talking about.
I work for a large fortune 500 company and the software is installed through a server which allocates the licenses. I dont know if there may be a bug in the program but maybe that has something to do with it.
I opened an old Max file today and wanted to use it on a scene I was working on. It was done years ago from another worker. The problem is, I can't change the colors or apply a texture to it. It won't change from the color that has been originally applied to it. Is there a way to lock this feature that will result in this happening?
Is there a way that we can have the default color pallet to work like X3 where you hover over the color and it would say 80% Black? In X6 it give you the RGB coding instead and only shows you 80% Black when you have it fully open to show the color names. Is there a way that part can show up like X3?
I can't change the default colors anymore. I mean the default foreground and background colors. I can change them to whatever color I need, but whenever I open GIMP they always start in some combination I had once a few weeks back.
I thought before that I was able to change it simply by going into the preferences and telling it to save the tool options are they are right now. But at some point my default colors got changed, and I can't change it back. Every time I open up gimp the colors are wrong. I can't find the correct option to change the default.
