Photoshop :: Difference Between Absolute Color And Relative Color?
Mar 26, 2007
I can't get it into my head the difference between Absolute color and relative color. I've been told many times, but I still can't remember. Would anyone know the difference, and any further reading?
hi. why is there a significant difference in color temp from working in raw/pscs and viewing the finished pictures in ex. windows diasshow. The temp. seems to be much warmer in windows. The raw converting im doing makes me unsure when viewing afterwards in windows.wich one can i rely on when going to my local printingshop.
I'm having issues with parts that were drawn in 2012 being a different color in 2013. It's the same color just a noticeably different shade. Not all parts have this color difference.
It only does this on certain parts so I when I have a bunch of the same parts mated together in an assembly it renders out with different shades and looks goofy.
See pic attached - All piping is Dark Grey in color - The verticals right below the top valves are a different shade - When I check both colors in the part files they are listed as Dark Grey.
I have a problem with absolute and relative coordinate regarding drawing an arc.
From my previous studies, I thought whenever I input coordinates in command line, in order to use absolute coordinates I just enter them. If I want to use relative coord, then I can prefix them with @ sign.
For an arc I input as follows: start point: 0,0 2nd point: 500,500 end point: 1000,0. I was expecting to get a half circle from origin to 1000,0 point but to my surprise I find out that CAD gets the input coordinates as relative.
Am I missing something? 1.dwg1.jpg Is this behavior same for all other object drawings?
Having trouble recently with tracking,For example if i start the line tool, and track from a point, i am given absolute coordinates instead of relative coordinates from that initial point. Absolute coordinates are not much useful to me, I want to be able to start a line at a certain distance from another point.
The question is basically when you copy the White Balance setting from one image and paste it into another, is the pasted setting an absolute value or a relative value?
For example... I import three RAW images, each shot with Auto White Balance.
Image #1 is a gray card and with a WB of 6500K.Image #2 is a product shot with a WB of 6000KImage #3 is a product shot with a WB of 6200K
Let's say I adjust the WB in Image #1 to 6400K - an adjustment of -100K from the "as shot" WB.
When I copy those WB settings from Image #1 to Images #2 and #3, will the target images get an absolute value of 6400K? Or an adjustment of -100K?
Im running CS2 with Windows Vista, the same photograph look completely different in Photoshop than in the Bridge or any other applications. My Working Spaces is set to:
I'm running CS5.5 student edition on a brand new Asus Q500A laptop running Windows 8. i7 processor and a UMA graphics card. I do not have calibration software; I'm using Calibrize for the moment and colors appear fairly true when browsing after calibration.
My problem is that overall colors in Photoshop appear more saturated than those in regular browser windows, particularly reds. I set up my computer to run the Win8 photos app and my desktop with Photoshop simultaneously and the color difference was immediately noticeable. I did a quick screen grab to show the difference; the inset photo is the one viewed in Win8's photos app, and the background is the exact same photo open in Photoshop.
This is the second install of this program. I originally installed it on a Dell Inspiron with a DuoCore processor (way out of spec, I know - that's why I upgraded!) and I seem to remember having this issue then, too. I found a way to correct it, but I don't remember how I fixed it and Photoshop is no longer on that machine so I can't look over my settings.
At the core of it all: "images from PSD exported as a .png, or a .jpg (commonly for me) do not show the same...contrast or fidelity my photoshop-canvas shows me..
I have been working on some stuff, and quite some time ago, I noticed that a certain piece of mine was not showing the subtle, noise-fog that I had added in PSD.Now, on-canvas everything seemed fine and I thought: "Okay, This is what I want." However, when I saved the image (as a .jpg and later as a .png as well), the fog was absent from the image, showing simply a "black" background. Sometime later I found that, when I zoomed in, the noise was actually present, it was just VERY unclear. You could only notice it, just barely, whilst zoomed in.
Now we come to present-time. I'm working on a little concept. It's in manga cell-shaded style, so the differences in color are easy to see (as shadows, for example, are not gradual. There's a clear line that separates the normal lighting from shadows)
Now, this 'character' has a black pair of pants (specific RGB- #100d11) and the color of the shadow is #060506..The thing is: in photoshop, I can clearly see the difference and it looks the way I want to have it. But when I saved the image to jpg (and to png) you can barely, if at all, see the difference. Someone who does not know there are two different colors, would not see it, and just see pure black. You can see the difference if you zoom-in, but even then it's not as 'stark' as it is on-canvas.
- Is this common / normal?- If yes, is there something to fix this, so that what I see on-screen is what I get when I export the file?
I have the standard dell color profile set in windows for the monitor.
Whenever I save "for web and devices" I get a color difference between the actual webpage colour and the colours in the picture. So I searched about color profiles and I gather (I find this profiling thing very confusing) that I should set my photoshop profile also to the dell profile. So I did, but there now still is a slight difference.
For example, the color I use in photoshop is #12141A and once saved it shows up as #13151B
I would like the contour line colored to reflect the elevation it is depticting! I have successfully used surface properties - elevations - to create ranges, and to FILL color in between contours, but is there a workflow to color the contours themselves?
I also noticed, within the same dialogue box in surface properties, a contour pull down - but it doesn't have near the control to set elevation ranges, nor does actually effect the contour color.
I am a web designer and have a problem with my Photoshop CS6. I work on both a mac and a pc (Win7), but use CS6 on both systems. My files are always worked with on both systems.
With several psd's, I noticed a color difference when I dragged layers to new psd's. Even the RGB values changed. When dragged back to the original psd, the colors change back again. This is not a constant problem. I have checked the color settings of both files and see no difference. If I place the color specified in the failing psd in a HTML-file, the color does not resemble the failing psd. In HTML, the color resembles the new psd. I think there is something wrong with some of my psd's, but cannot figure out what it could be and how to fix and prevent it.
I have a feeling it may be caused by changing between mac and pc, but surely this could not be the cause? I am, at the moment, unable to try this out myself, but will try this out later this week.
I'm using version 5.5 in Windows 2000. I am confused because all other images in other programs etc appear normal whereas in photoshop 5.5 they have a greenish tinge. I corrected this on the original image by choosing View > Preview > Uncompensated RGB. However, if I try colour adjustment etc e.g. variations, all the preview images still have the green tinge. Does anyone know how to correct this?
Also Uncompensated RGB is supposed to be the default view, but when I close PS the setting is lost and on opening, all images including the original are back to green. What am I missing? I have other versions 5.5 and CS on other pcs with no problems.
I made an image using CMYK (for printing later on), and the color is fine when I try to print it onto printing paper by just selecting the Print button on PS. However, when I saved the image as a .JPEG, the color changes drastically.
When I edit an image in Lightroom and then continue editing it in photoshop I see a major color difference.That also happens when I export an image from lightroom as a .jpg and then upload it to the web,colors look the same as in photoshop.Color space is set to sRGB in both PS and my monitor. [URL]
I get a slight difference in color in my prints my when I use LR prifile vs Canon printer managed. The Canon is much truer to what I see on both monitors which, btw, are calibrated. LR throws in a slight magenta cast. Is there a way to correct this?
Document colors in Corel Draw X3 have changed. Example: dark green is now black on my designed object; Teal is now light green.
I thought it might be color management had switched somehow but all management settings do not make a change as they did before or at all. Basically I think the problem lies in the color management. I re-installed the program but the problem remains. Color management does not affect color appearances as they used too before.I run windows 7 and have had it for a couple of years with no problems.
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.
I'm about 3 months and many hours of tutorials into Premiere ProCC, Audition CC, and Encore CS6. Apparently the nifty dynamic links from PPro and Audition CS6 no longer work with encore, as encore was not upgraded to CC. So,
I want to sample color from an original Photoshop image, and create an Encore menu color set, so that my menu buttons, etc. are colored to match the main photo image in the menu. Is there an eyedropper kind of tool in Encore that would let me sample the color from the image, and then apply that to color swatches in the Encore button layers?

I have a PSD file open and I added a new layer via the copy command. I have added a Layer Mask to the new layer and I'm trying to use the Brush Tool with black forground to cover part of the new layer. I'm following an online tutorial step by step, but when I try to use the Brush Tool I get "could not use color replacement tool because it only works in full color mode". The Image>Mode is set to RGB.
--Toolbox: The 2 columns of Tools on the left side of the Editor screen.
--Foreground Color & Background Color: The color filled squares at the bottom of the Toolbox.
--Color dialogue box: This is the pop-up that is labeled at the top with "Color". It shows 48 different color squares (6 rows by 8 columns); they are labeled "Basic colors:". Right below the "Basic colors:" array is another 16 empty squares (2 rows by 8 columns) to be filled with colors to be defined. There is a "Define Custom Colors>>" button when clicked opens up a color picker with HSB RGB stacked below the color field screen. See this link to the Microsoft "Color Dialogue Box", [URL]
--Adobe Color Picker: The interactive dialogue box with the color field screen to the left and the HSB RGB numbers stacked on the right side.

The problem:In PSE 10, when using the Eyedropper Tool or clicking on the Foreground Color or the Background Color, the Microsoft Microsoft "Color Dialogue Box" pops up instead of the "Adobe Color Picker" dialogue box. This started about a month ago. I use Windows 7.
I want the "Adobe Color Picker" to pop up (like it used to) inside PSE 10.
I have a photo of a painting that was taken with Kodak color checker patches on one corner. It looks like I need to adjust the colors in Photoshop.
I want to use the color checker as a reference to correct the overall image color and contrast. However, I don't know how to use it as I have never worked with color checker patches before.
how to color correct the image on photoshop?
I am attaching a cropped sample image. The original image is in RGB. The colors on the Kodak patch as follows: Blue, Cyan, Gree, Yellow, Red, Magenta, White, 3/Color, Black.
