View 6 RepliesI need to compare and match two colours but dont know how to do it exactly. the scenario is; I have two samples. Sample A is the reference, and Sample B is a trial. The trial sample is going to be very close to the reference, but not exactly the same colour.
What I am going to do is scan both samples on a scanner and then compare them. I need to find out what colours do I need to add/remove from Sample B to make it exactly same as Sample A. That is the most important bit; need to be able to understand which colours missing or needs to reduced.
Samples are one uniform colour but ideally need to get 3-4 sampling to get the average colour from each sample for accurate results.

I use gimp to make layered stencils for spray painting...I reduce it to a couple of colours, seperate the colours into different layers and then cut them out...
When I do im left with a ghost type image where the original layer was..
example: [URL]...
Is there any way of avoiding this?
i'm working on a job with 2 colours. I already did this using CMYK and setting 2 of them to 100% and the other 2 at 0%. But people who press these posters say me that they always have to convert the CMYK file to a 2 colours file. Is there a way to set my colours to 2 colours instead of 4?

View 1 Replies View RelatedLet's say I have two pictures. The first one is a RAW file and the second is the same file, but a flat PSD with some color and contrast moves done to it.
What I want to do is to (of course start with processing the RAW file so I have a PSD/tiff) and then I would like to match the colors to 100%.
Usually I would do this by eye, but I would like to find out if there's any quicker way to do it? I started to look in to the color sampler tool to get the different values.
Preferably I would also like to have all these color and contrast moves in layers if possible. So that I can adjust them if I want.

The second question is basically the same but this time the reference photo is a different picture.
I`ve found a background color for my web page and I like to get the same color in Photoshop to use it like background for my grafics.Hom can I get the exactly same colors when on my page it`s in HEX triplet numbers and in photoshop it`s in RGB & CMYK?

View 6 Replies View Relatedi'm into photoshopping cars and i've got a rough idea on how to stitch bits and pieces of other cars together nicely, the problem is i still haven't a clue on how to match the colours of different cars to my target car (i.e. my car is blue but the bumper of another car is green, so how do i get that green to match my car's blue?)
i just really want to know how to get this done cause previously i was using the luminance thinggy and found it to work for SOME colours but it didn't look good.
I have the font close although i cant seem to match it exactly. But the crispness from the copied image from the web i can not match. The copied image text is very crisp. I can not match it with Photoshop. Why would this be? It doesn't matter what Alias setting i use and i tried a ton of fonts etc...
View 2 Replies View RelatedIm working on a series of images from a photoshoot.
I am having massive problems with getting the background of each image to match with one another. Each image seems to have a slightly different shade background, so basically they all look inconsistent together.
Is there anything i could do which would easily match the background from the different images together?
Using curves doesnt really help and when i do get it right (slightly similar), skin tones are then off.
The photos are done in a studio and evenly lit, the backgrounds are pale blue!
How would i go about getting this picture:
to resemble the same type of contrast/tones/colors as this picture:
i've tried using the constrast tool, and trying different hue saturation settings and lowering the opacity, but nothign really turns out as good as the ludacris cover.
I have been working on a gag project that involves placing different co-worker heads on different bodies. However, I have been having some difficulty matching the skin tones. I thought it would simply be a matter of using the eye-dropper tool, getting some average values on the face and body, then using an adjustment layer grouped to the face layer to adjust the color.
However, my results are often not even close. Is there a particular way I'm supposed to be adjusting the color?
I am currently working on a series of images for a calendar. All the photographs are portraits and were shot against the same backdrop.
I am working in Photoshop 7 and having scanned the images and given them a clean they all have different casts. Is there some way of matching the colour of one image to another, rather than attempting to do it by sight and botching it up?
I have 18 pictures that I want to have, for research purposes, EXACTLY the same luminance. The pictures are cut out faces and the background needs to stay white.

View 6 Replies View Related1)When I view the same raw file with both Lightroom 2 & Photoshop CS3 the PS version is darker with a slight colour shift. All metadata synchronised & ACR 4.5
2) When I export a photo (from LR)as TIFF (with profile) this same photo viewed on both PS and LR shows the same difference as 1 above. When same photo viewed with ADC pro, result matches LR not PS.
3) When I print photo (as TIFF above) with PS & LR the prints from both match the LR display and not PS's
I use a calibrated display.
What is the problem here anyone? Does PS use display profile differently from LR? which is correct?
I travel around the country and use Photoshop for various projects. I then SAVE AS a TIFF file to my flash drive and take the flash drive to an office superstore (OfficeMax, Staples, Kinkos,etc.) to print on their color printers. I run into a variety of printers, but mostly Xerox DocuColor 250's or Docucolor 12's.
How can I set my Photoshop so that the colors that print on these Docucolor printers are closer to what I see on my screen? I'm already creating the documents in 300DPI, CYMK-8 mode to be as close to the printer as possible.
I was asked to take the group photo, cut out the black girl, and insert the young man. See all images below and my results. the only thing I'm not happy with is the young man was better lit than the group one. I was playing around with the controls of the young man to bring his tone more in line with the group (hue; saturation; color levels; etc.) and I just could not figure it out.
what I can do to get the young man to match up tone wise with the group? Or vice versa, even?
I want to use Refine Edge to move a person from one image to another. That part I can do, however, once the person is placed into the new environment, I want to adjust the person so he looks like he actualy belongs in that image. I want to adjust the lighting, shadows, etc. Is the Levels Tool the best tool for matching lighting?

this is where I get lost, I don't know what to do next to find the correct PMS color.
If anyone can help me, I would appreciate it so much! I just recently got a job at an advertising company, and it crucial that I know this.
I am fairly new to Photoshop, so if you could please keep the terminology simple.
I have a number of photos to retouch and balance skin toning. The basic problem is that the young lady in the photographs has two distingt skin tones but no clearly defined 'tan line'. The differences are detectable and visible (between her back and backside for instance) and I guess caused purely by sun exposure pigmentation versus those bits that never see the sun!
