Does anyone know if there is a way to import a text file, or another type of file, into color swatches to make a custom pallet?
We have to type in over 8,000 swatches, and I was hoping there might be an easier way to do it, rather than making a new color and then making a new swatch.
I added some new color swatches to a blank, new set.

I would like this new set to appear as an option in the list of available sets.

I've saved it to the presets folder. I've tried every option to save/load. It just won't appear in that list.
I am taking pictures of art and would like to correct the photos so that the colors are accurate. Need to use some kind of color swatch in each picture? I would like to include the color swatch strip in the edge of each picture so that I can correct the colors more easily and then crop the color swatch out. What kind of colors do I need in the color swatch? Also, would it be useful to have black/white/50% grey in the strip to work with leveling? I am going to correct the leveling and try to remove the color cast.
I also have to photograph things which are very shiny (e.g. coated in shellac). How to use an external flash to minimize flash glare?
Some of the lighter, saturated colors in the PANTONE+ swatches library appear to be a different color in the swatch list than they are when applied to a design. see below for screen shots.
i can duplicate this situation on calibrated NEC MultiSync monitors and uncalibrated laptops. We are running on Mac OS X.8x and above.
Designers are complaining about not being able to pick a color from the Swatch Library in AICS6 or AICC. InDesignCC does not seem to have the same issue.

Such as this: #335577 I would like to use this shade of blue in photoshop, how would I go about doing that?
I have about fifty or so custom color swatches and wanted to back them up. Where are they located in Photoshop CS4 for Mac?

I use several brushes, the mixer brush and the smudge tool back and forth when painting. Is there a way I can pull the various brushes, and tools into a panel like the color swatches so it's all right there and all I have to do it click and go?
I can only load some of the swatches for the color books into the swatches pallet. Most importantly I cannot load the pantone swatches. I just get a blank pallet.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am proficient in Illustrator, but this has been one of a few enigmas. Every once and a while in a file, I have noticed that after deleting a color that is definitely not in use(ie there are no strokes, fills, stray paths etc) using these colors. I have made sure of it. I will delete the color from the swatches and as a final pass I like to add used colors and sure enough that color will come back. I tried making sure it's not checked global, didn't work, some I don't even think are global colors, and in fact they are generally CMYK. I often notice that Black and C:0 M:0 Y:0 K:100 don't like to delete from the swatches among some other colors when you delete unused swatches. I thought perhaps they were in guides or something but it's truly unexplainable, and generally with a fresh file if all colors are deleted it'll still leave black white and gray.
Or ways to troubleshoot better other than creating a debug file and deleting lines of code as recommended in the older forums?
My colour swatches disappeared although I clicked on "show all swatches". What do I have to do to appear regularly when opening Illustrator?

I've tried dragging everytihng I can, with no luck.
How do I then take swatches from Illustrator and open them in Indesign?
If you think of the Gradient Sliders as end points,
And why does Illustrator's "help" file refer to them as "stops" but they're called sliders inside the app?
We have CS5 and how can we create 6color CMYKOV swatches in Illustrator?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a MAC and use CS4.Sometimes when I use illustrator my color swatches are there and easy to access, change colors or values.Other times I have no color swatches in my color window, and no slider bars in the color slider window (No values can be adjusted/ no bars to adjust)
Only if I use the drop bar on the color box(top right) and change to CYMK or RGB, can I change the color.
Im in the process of converting a logo to spot colors. When I open the swatches panel and choose any one of the pantone books, the panel opens to what you see below. This same thing happens with all color books except for the basic illustrator books.
View 4 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to find out how bright is an color? I need to find the darkest color in document's swatches. My solution would be to convert (script internally, without actually making any changes in document) swatches to grayscale, compare them and pick the darkest. But how to convert swatch defined in undefined mode (they might be in lab or cmyk) to grayscale?
I found in 'js scriping reference' a method "convertSampleColor", but I have no idea how to use it. Any examples?
I'm making a simple template to laser cut. The laser cutter acts as a printer and you choose the power, speed, etc. for each color that is in the document. I only want to cut, so I only have RGB red lines at 0.001 pt thickness. Or at least that was the plan. One of the shapes in my template has come out a different red (the swatches were CMYK despite the document colour mode being RGB). I would now like to select all the paths in the document and make them all RGB red. However, when I open the color panel from the dock the sliders are CMYK, again this is despite the document color mode being RGB:
How do I change all the paths to be RGB red?How do I stop Illustrator offering me CMYK options and swatches and offering RGB instead?
Is there a location to download the latest Pantone color swatches? We are currently running Illy CS 5.0.
View 2 Replies View RelatedThe color swatches in toolbar for fill and stroke are not functioning as they should. When I select an object on the artboard, the swatches display fine in the toolbar for what they should be. However, when I double-click on those swatches from within the toolbar to modify the color, the color which comes up is #000000 instead of the actual color it should be.
I am using 16.2.1 (cloud) for Mac OS 10.8.2
I've submitted a bug report.
Also, the eyedropper tool is buggy and occasionally places the #000000 into an object instead of the characteristics the eyedropper is selecting. I don't have any hidden layers or weird groupings, it just randomly decides when it is going to work or not.
I've never had these issues on previous versions of illustrator and have been proficient in all versions since 2007.
I have CS5. The bugs and broken features in AICS6, make it unusable in my workflow.
I am specifically concerned about the inability to drag global color swatches from the color panel to Gradient stops in the Gradient Panel. I use this method to update a gradient color because I find it MUCH faster than option-dragging to duplicate a stop color, then deleting the unused stop. Since I do this constantly, I find using CS6 very tedious.
I am very new to photography and Lightroom 3.4 64 bit. I have a photo of an apple on the table. I want to get the photo black and white (did that already). Now I want the apple it self to remain its own red color. How do I do that?
Also, I have this apple and its reflection is on the knife that is cutting the apple. How can I get that in color too?
Probably this is not the appropriate place to post this question, but I chose to do so, cause Ps users might know better.
If you want a color to be more subtle, or put it another way, make it stand less among other element or/and colors what you would to?Increase opacity, reduce its saturation or something else?
I'm VERY new to PhotoShop and I've used the search feature here and can't find the answer to my problem. If this has been asked many times I apologize. I have a logo which I've scanned. It's just two colors, white and black. I'd like to make the white transparent and while I'm sure this should be easy I am unable to get it to work. Can anyone give me an idea how to do it.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am wanting to select all colors from a certain image and have a color palette. I need this to send to a fabric printer, which will be printing digitally.
When I load the image into either PS6 or AI6, what is the easiest way to sort these colors? When I use a color table, I am getting too broad of a selection of colors.
Also, I will need either the pantone or RGB #s of each color in the image. I've been making a swatch palette and then selecting each image with an eyedropper to write down the numbers.
I cannot figure out how to make a photo all black and white except for a part of it, like a rose. Can someone either tell me how to do this, or point me to a website or tutorial that could show me how?
