how you determine how many colors an image is using... the reason i ask is that i have an image that i am wanting to have screen printed onto a shirt and the site says i can only use 4 colors...
View 1 RepliesI have created a design for a t-shirt competition. I have not read till now that you are only allowed to use a maximum of 8 colours in you design!! Trouble is that I do not know how many colours I have actually used :/I have read blogs on how to convert the colours by saving the file as a giff as well as posterising which all seem to make my work look like a waste of time..

Is there a way I can limit the image I'm working on to 262000 colors?
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there a setting to not have adobe Photoshop round up or down to the nearest full number? My X-rite scanner reads in the hundreds and I would like more color accuracy.
I read here that humans can't see any difference smaller than 1. I disagree, maybe 1 in the L value, but a and b seem to be a little less.
I have been using Adobe since CS3, now using CS5. Why is there still no way to have the color swatches FILL the panel.
I rarely use more than, say, 8 to 12 colors in a document. Why can't I set the Adobe products (I mostly use Ps, Id, and Il) so that the swatches panel has no blank space. I would like to have the colors will fill the entire space with LARGER tiles/icons. I find it very frustrating to have to click on a micro-sized square to pick a color. Or, try to discern small changes in the shade between 2 colors by squinting at such a small sample (again micro-sized square).
I'm trying to reduce the amount of colors used in an imported image to just 64. I thought I managed it but was mistaken .

As in most cases, the arrangements of “lay outs” reflects the way they are regularly printed, then how could we renumbering the sheets such that the first lay out takes number 1, the second lay out takes number 2,…and so forth.
For example, in the screenshot below, the
Software: AutoCAD 2014, AutoCAD C3D, AutoCAD M3D, Revit
Windows 7 (Ultimate 64 bits),
Firefox 20.0,
Kaspersky 2013.
I recently installed CS5 on my laptop after first removing it from my previous machine.All licences were validated so no problems there.Now when using paint bucket in Photoshop, the colors that I select in the color picker are not the colors that result when I use the paint bucket.
If I create a new black canvas then the colors selected in color picker work with paint bucket.But if I attempt to recolor the background in an existing image that I import into Photoshop, I get the mismatch with colors when I use paint bucket. My method for selecting colors is the same in each case, I select 'set foreground color' and set the color using html values entry at the bottom of the panel.
Just wanted to print a new photo and realized that the colors in print preview do not match the colors in soft proofing. In both cases I selected the same icc profile and rendering method. The print colors matched the colors in print preview. I never had a problem so far. All new prints will be checked with soft proofing and adjusted when necessary. I never paid attention to the color rendition in print preview and all prints perfectly matched the colors from the soft proofing. I was surprised when my print came out of the printer and the colors weren't matching the soft proofing colors, but that of the print preview.
I don't understand why Photoshop renders the colors differently in the first place. See attached screenshot for the difference in the blue/cyan colors. I don't care if the print view colors will match the print, but I do care when soft proofing is not working.
The colors of pictures is much darker when working in photoshop than when I open it normally. And vice versa, I work on images inside photoshop, and I get the colors I want, but once I save it to bmp or jpg or anything else, all the colors are much lighter.
i'm using photoshop 7.
CDX5: Whatever color I select for fill or outline is now set as the default color for fills and outlines without expressly setting it as such. Until now when I left or right click a color with nothing selected it allowed me to set it as a default fill or outline color for graphics, artistic text, or paragraph text. It does not do that now.
Is this a "feature" that's been added that I somehow enabled? In any event, how do I turn it off?
We are working with a company that will be sending us DWG files. They do not use the same layer colors as us and I am trying to find a lisp that would allow me to set up a table with the layer names and the color I want them to be so that I can quickly change all the layers to our companys color standards.
Example:
Layer 1 = Color 1
Layer 2 = Color 15
Layer 3 = Color 10
Etc.
I don't know a lot about lisp but I figure if I could find a lisp that did this I could plug in my layer/color assignments and it would work.
Using CS6 on a MacBookPro Is there a way to find the closest matching Pantone spot colors to the cmyk colors I've created in Illustrator? I know it's easy in Photoshop using the color picker, but there must be a way to do this in Illustrator.

This is only occuring in one specific drawing. Is there a preference that I switched somewhere that would make this happen? I have double checked that everything is ByLayer or ByColor that I can think of. If I insert this color chart into other drawings it looks fine. using C3D 2012.
I would just restart my drawing, however it is the new company template file that I have invested many hours into and would really like to be able to keep working with it and not start over. Or is there a good way to import and overwrite all the Prospector settings into a blank drawing?

The only reason I ask, is because I've run into that problem with programs like Norton Systemworks. You only get so many installs, then you have to go out and buy the software again.

When trying to install the second on my laptop, the serial number box turns up a red x immediately upon typing it. I have verified my serial number and re-typed it numerous times. I did an on-line chat and after a half hour wait was told they couldn't help me. Gave me two phone numbers to call for licensing problem, both long distance. I called both numbers and got fax machines both times.

Needing to reinstall Vista to change the boot drive, I started to deactivate PS and the Design Standard suite upgrade. The latter went fine, but PS flat out refused to deactivate - it talked to the server and came back with the same answer every time: "Deactivation unsuccessful".
So I called Adobe (Norway) and a very nice and helpful gentleman confirmed my suspicion: I had used up my 20 allowed activations (I'd just recently seen this mentioned here and on the Creative Suite forums).
But he also told me to just go ahead and do whatever I needed to do, and call him later to get a new activation code. This I did with no problems.
Anyway, it might be a good idea to not "waste" deactivations unless you really have to. Even though the whole process was very painless, they *do* keep business hours 9 - 5 and no weekends (at least here - don't know about the rest of the world).
How did I manage to use up 20 activations in just one year? Well, I'm one of those unfortunate souls who just can't keep my fingers off my computer. I'm always looking for little improvements, and with a high-end laptop fully backed up there's no risk of losing work or uptime. But I remember having quite a few problems getting Vista 64 to install properly with the DIMM's fully populated, and I guess I blew 5 activations in one day there.
I have downloaded a trial version of Photoshop 6 to see how it works with video editing. So far it only seems to be able to do a max of 3-3 cuts and then refuses to do any more. I need to edit a 30 min movie. I need to do hundreds. Is this a limitation of Photoshop 6 trial, Photoshop 6? Am I trying to do more than Photoshop can do? I have no problem using Avid or Corel video editing software.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhat is the maximum number of DCS channels that can be used? I have a file I saved as DCS 2.0 with Black and four spot channels, no problem.
When adding a fifth channel, that channel shows with a white background even though I made a selection of only what was being used and pasted that in.
I have a file with Black and 5 spot channels. When creating a pdf, only the last channel appears and all else is white. If I delete one channel, any channel, if appears with all plates showing. I created a DCS file, added one new spot channel at a time for whatever art was printing in that channel. When I go past 4 channels, that's when things get strange.
The file prints correctly, however will not appear correctly in the PDF. And, I need to send a correct looking PDF to client.
