Color changes when pasting from Illustrator to Photoshop

I have set both PS and Illustrator (both latest versions) to "North America Web/Internet".
Both documents are RGB and have the sRGB IEC61966-1 profile.
When I copy a square in Illustrator and paste it into PS
RGB 19,78,110 (the color in Illustrator) changes to RGB 18,78,109.
It doesn't matter whether I paste it as pixel, smart object or shape layer. The sampled color differs from that in Illustrator.
Doesn't anyone have a solution to this?
It's really unnerving when you do web mockups in Illustrator and then copy/paste to PS for image creation.

This topic is similar to a post today in Mac Photoshop forum. When you copy+paste an Illustrator object with 3D effect from a RGB Illustrator file into an RGB Photoshop document, you get a quite an extreme color de-saturation (looked like a bright blue going dull from RGB to CMYK). Only occurs with active 3D effect. If you Expand Appearance, Flatten Transparency or Rasterize, then the original color is maintained.

  • CS4 How to disable anti alias when pasting from Illustrator to Photoshop?

    Hello,
    I'm trying to paste vector artwork from Illustrator into Photoshop but it seems no matter what I do Photoshop anti aliases the illustration. Is there a way to keep this from happening?
    The whole point of making the art in Illustrator was to keep the edges clean and the colors limited.
    Your suggestions are much appreciated.

    In Illustator >> Object >> Rasterize >> Anti-aliasing>> None
    Copy and paste this into Photoshop.
    Or
    Illustrator >> File >> Export >> psd >>turn off anti alias

  • Why do colors slightly change when copying from Illustrator to Photoshop?

    I want to copy a object from Illustrator and paste it into a Photoshop document with the same color mode and profile.
    When I use the Eyedropper Tool on the pasted object in Photoshop the color seems to be slightly off.
    Both the Illustrator and the Photoshop document have their Color Mode set to RGB
    Both Applications are using synchronized color settings.
    This also happens when the object is dragged or Placed. It does not happen when copying from Photoshop to Illustrator.
    Could there be a problem with my color management settings? What actually happens to the color information, when it is copied from one application to another?
    Thanks for any help.

    Why the heck are people still using these nonsensical hexadecimal HTML numbers?
    Since some decades we got used to describe RGB values by decimal numbers 0...255.
    Both your value sets are practically the same, but how they were converted from one
    to the other, that requires an investigation, how Adobe workflows are distributed
    between California and Bangalore.

  • Is it possible to preserve the layer name when I copy and paste from Illustrator into Photoshop?

    Is it possible to preserve the layer name when I copy and paste from Illustrator into Photoshop?
    At the moment it just appears as "Vector Smart Object" in Photoshop and I have to take another step and change the layer name.
    Thank you!

    Not that I know. PS doesn't care for these kinds of things and uses its own naming system.

  • Copy & Paste From Illustrator to Photoshop not matching document size

    I just recently reformated my computer and I've been having an issue with copy and paste from Illustrator to Photoshop. Before I could copy a 2"x2" vector box from Illustrator into photoshop making a new document and the size and resolution would match. That is the new document would say 2"x2" at 300 ppi in photoshop and the preset would read "clipboard". I would then hit ok and paste and it would match perfectly. Now since I've reformated, photoshop always creates a new document with the wrong size regardless of the settings I enter in Illustrator or photoshop. I have document raster and effects set at 300 ppi in Illustrator and I have the new document set at 300 in photoshop, but it always transfers the 2"x2" box as some other size no matter what resolution I change it too. Again this used to work before so I'm assuming there is some setting I forgot about. Does anyone know? The main issue is the clipboard preset is not matching the document size, its almost as if Illustartor is telling photoshop it's a different resolution when it's not. Copying to 72 ppi seems to have no issue, which makes me think Illustrator just isn't sending it out at 300 ppi, but I don't know why as I have the document set at 300 ppi.

    Have you found an answer that wasn't posted here yet? I have the same issue.

  • Pasting from Illustrator to Photoshop is a frustrating experience

    If you paste something from Illustrator to Photoshop, its size won't be at 100%. Why the heck? And why is the "Keep aspect ratio" in Photoshop turned off by default? I have to click that every single time when pasting from Illustrator.
    And why would Photoshop not start ignoring crap outside a mask. I mask stuff in Illustrator for a reason. I want the bounding box to be the mask, not the extent of its contents.
    How hard could it be to finally fix this? How many more versions with more useless new features to be shoved down our throats?

    Hello. Check this settings:
    Photoshop
    Preferences > Units and Rulers > Screen Resolutions: 72 pixels/Inch, Point/Pica Size: PostScript;
    Image > Image size > Resolution: 72 pixels/Inch;
    Illustrator
    File > Document Setup > Preset > Custom > Line Art and Text Resolution: 72ppi, Gradient and Mesh Resolution: 72ppi;
    Effect > Document Raster Effect Settings > Resolution: 72ppi;

  • Is there a reason why I can't copy and paste from Illustrator to Photoshop

    Before the last update, I was able to copy and paste from Illustrator to Photoshop, and now I can't. Which really suck. Is there a new way I would have to do it?

    I'm not privy to what impact the latest update my have had, but I believe Photoshop still has "its own" clipboard, and there may still be a tendency under certain conditions for it to become inaccessible from/to the rest of the system. Reboot everything and try again.

  • Color shift when pasting from CMYK document to RGB document

    Hello,
    We're creating an image for a client that will eventually be printed 4c process, and we have to use some very specific CMYK values. However, since we need to use certain layer effects, we need to work in RGB. I assumed that since the CMYK values we use are within the RGB gamut, there would be no color shift when copying from a CMYK doc and pasting into an RGB doc, but I'm apprently mistaken.
    I'm not very familiar with color management, since we don't do any heavy duty color work in house, so this is likely a very rudimentary question: how do I keep colors from shifting when pasting from a CMYK document into an RGB document (which will eventually be converted back to CMYK for print)?
    Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    you have two possible issues at work that would explain a change
    "out of gamut" color between color modes (the RGB colors don't translate well to CMYK)
    you are discarding profile information information when pasting (and not Converting to the destination)...

  • Wrong color in Photoshop when pasting from Illustrator

    Hey!!
    I have what seems to be an issue with Illustrator CC 2014 edition (have tried CS6 as well). The problem occurs in InDesign as well.
    The problem is that a color shift occurs when I Copy something to Photoshop from Illustrator. The color profiles are all synced across all Adobe apps and I'm using sRGB as RGB and Coated FOGRA39 as CMYK. The RGB values are identical but the colors are different even though the profiles are synchronized, and double and triple checked! No proofing is activated.
    See the images for the color shift that occurs. The same shift also occurs when I save something from illustrator as a jpeg for example. This leads me to believe that there is something in Illustrator and Indesign that's not working as intended and that Photoshop is the correct one.
    More info:
    Windows 7 x64 w/ Geforce GTX 970
    A Spyder 4Pro-calibrated Asus P246 (when I use the Windows default profile this doesn't occur. I have even tried the default profile from ASUS and the same thing as with my own profile occurs)
    Reinstalled the complete CC suite twice.
    Tried with a different graphics card and the current calibrated profile - same thing
    I have 3 screens and the problem occur on all three with three different monitor icc profiles. But the color shift is more apparent om the ASUS since it's a wide gamut monitor perhaps?
    In Photoshop layer panel, color picker etc. the colors reflect the ones in Illustrator but the image in itself is a different color. Perhaps the PS layer panel isn't color managed?
    The RGB colors used in the screenshots are 0 255 0.
    Would be very grateful if someone could help me in the right direction so that I can enjoy synced colours. =)
    Thanks!

    I solved the problem.
    Seems that for some reason the synchronized settings from Bridge CC did not stick! So I changed all the settings to North American General Purpose 2, applied and opened the applications, and then back again to my modified Europe Prepress 3 and - voila! Now all the colors are correct across the Adobe applications!
    Note to self: always try the easiest possible solutions first...

  • Pasting from Illustrator to Photoshop doesn't maintain aspect ratio

    I have vector artwork that is not aligned to a pixel grid in Illustrator. In CS5, I would be able to paste the vector object as a smart object into Photoshop file that was larger than the illustrator image and resize larger while holding shift to keep the ratio the same.
    However with Creative Cloud, if I have a square in Illustrator that happens to be 17.3px by 17.3, then paste to Photoshop in a file that has a larger canvas than the paste, I get uneven horizontal and vertical ratios (width = 18; height = 17). It seems to overestimate the width and make it appear fatter horizontally (which is the wrong aspect ratio). This is very noticeable when vector objects (like perfect circles and small icons) get scaled up in Photoshop.
    I have tried unchecking and checking "Snap Vector Tools and transforms to Pixel Grid" but this doesn't seem to fix it.
    The only way I've been able to get this ratio to be kept is to create a new document with the size automatically changed to clipboard dimensions (which are the desired 17x17). When you paste as smart object, it now uses the correct aspect ratio.

    When you paste an object into Photoshop take a look at your options bar to see if the Maintain Aspect Ratio button is checked. I'm guessing that it isn't which is why Illustrator objects are being pasted at different heights and widths. As you can see in the image below, a perfect circle from Illustrator is being placed in Photoshop at 100.05% and 99.44%. By checking the link button between the two percentages the numbers get locked to the same percentage so that the object is pasted in at the correct dimensions.

  • Paste from Illustrator to Photoshop, I cannot see the pasted object

    Sorry for this dumb question but I have tried everything I can think of before asking this question.  I have a single grouped object in Illustrator and I select the object and "Copy".  Then I open up a new photoshop project and choose "Paste".  Then I get four questions:
    Smart Object, Pixles, Path and Shape Layer to choose from.  No matter which one I choose I get a large box with an X.  I cannot see the object just the box that is x'd out.  This must mean something but I cannot figure it out.  When I place it dissapears.
    Please what is the secret to pasting objects into Windows Photoshop CS4?
    Thanks, Brent

    Magically, pasting started working.  Maybe, my computer was running out of memory or something.
    Thanks for your helpful answer.

  • Pasting from Illustrator to Photoshop has become more complicated and unpredictable-why?

    I've been using Illustrator and Photoshop together for years, drawing in AI and pasting the results into PS. For some reason now, with AI 17.1, an unannounced change has been made, as far as I can tell: I have to be aware of the resolution settings in Illustrator-something I never had to pay attention to before-and, before I can paste the AI image from the clipboard into PS I need to adjust-manually- the size and resolution settings in the PS dialogue from the default setting (72dpi) to something resembling the units (pixels v. inches) and the resolution (300dpi) of the AI  vector image. But I thought vector art was resolution-independent? Oddly, I don't need to specify a size, just the units. I'm willing to believe that this may solve a problem or resolve an issue. So what is the problem or issue? I can't find bugger-all in the "New features" about it. What's going on? I'm on an iMac w/ 16GB RAM, running Mavericks 10.9.2. AI CC 17.1, PS CC 14.2.1.

    I changed the AI File Handling and Clipboard settings as suggested. I even tried changing the "Preserve" settings at the bottom. No change in the cut-paste procedure in Photoshop. One peculiarity I noticed: with an AI image on the clipboard, I open a "new" canvas file in PS to receive the image. The new file shows dimensions in pixels (accurate pixel dimensions, according to AI) and dpi at 72. If I change the dpi to 300 first, then change the units to inches (or centimeters), what I get is a tiny, proportional 300 dpi space into which the actual AI image won't fit. But if I change the PS canvas dimensions first,  to inches, THEN change the dpi to 300, the process works and the canvas is the correct size. So even though I have deliberately set the AI Document settings at "High" or "Custom" (300dpi) resolution-something I never had to do before- the clipboard is telling PS 72dpi instead. Why isn't Photoshop reading the actual dimensions off the clipboard? Or why isn't the clipboard getting them from AI? Hardware or OS problem? Clipboard problem?

  • Washed out graphics when pasting from Illustrator

    Has any one else seen this?
    When I paste graphics from Illustrator CS3, whether they are bitmap or vector, they look washed out in Pages - almost like there's a slight transparency.

    the .png is the best file format that Pages uses.
    To interchange artwork with Adobe applications, the clipboard is technically not the correct workflow. Between Adobe applications, use the clipboard to interchange artwork. Between Adobe applications and non-Adobe applications, use the normal file export functions of Adobe applications and file import functions of the system supported in non-Adobe applications.
    Colour managed and resolution independent artwork in Adobe Illustrator should be saved to disk in Adobe PDF using Adobe Illustrator's save function. The saved PDF should then be placed into Apple Pages. This way the appearance in Adobe Illustrator and the appearance in Apple Pages should be identical, or else there is a bug in the system PDF support.
    The difference you are seeing is due to a difference in colour management settings between Adobe Illustrator that uses internal settings and Apple Pages that uses system settings. When you interchange over the clipboard, you are interchange vector objects and raster objects with colourant values in percentages, but you are not interchanging information about the colours those colourants should form. When you save out PDF from Adobe Illustrator, the mapping of colours to the colours they should form is embedded into the PDF as ICCBased colour specifications. The PDF is now self-contained and independent of the colour management settings in the application where it was originally created.
    When you try to compensate for changes in saturation, hue or lightness that occurs in an object interchanged via the clipboard, you are trying to do manually what the colour management system should do automatically, provided the ICC profiles and the rendering intents related to them are known to the importing application, in this case Apple Pages.

  • Color Change when saving from CS4

    I have an image from which I wish to make a selection and save as a .png or .gif file on transparent background to use in a collage.  When I re-save the image from CS4, the color is changed quite drastically (face from color to ash!).  The image was shot with a P&S as .jpg but opens in PS first in the cameraRaw dialogue for unknown reasons:

    For disabling JPEG in ACR go to EDIT => Preferences => Camera Raw and switch it to "Disable JPEG Support" at the bottom in JPEG and TIFF handling.
    It seems that you apply the ProPhoto colorspace via ACR.
    So the result can have two reasons: either the JPEG was saved untagged (converted to ProPhoto but without embedded colorspace) or it was tagged and saved with an embedded profile, but the other applications are non- or wrong colormanaged. Both will result in a desaturated image like it shows up to the right:
    How the appear in a non-colormanaged browser, see the names:
    Also the # in the image name (3rd image) indicates that your color settings (workspace settings) in PS are different from the colorspace of the image.
    Either apply sRGB when you go through ACR or disable the open JPEG with ACR feature as desribed above, which should preserve the original colorspace.

  • Calendar Dates: Color Changes When Importing From iCal Not Consistent

    Okay. So I wanted to make a family calendar that contained all the birthdays of my extended family. Using "import birthdays from address book" is not an option since I've got lots of friends' birthday included. So I went through the painstaking process of creating a new calendar in iCal and named it "Family Birthdays" and added the birthdays of all my family members. I selected "all day" and made them recurring "every year" and "forever".
    To my suprise I noticed these birthdays were indicated on the iPhoto Calendar with a red date and red text. I made no changes to fonts and simply selected
    "add iCal calendar" to my iPhoto calendar.
    But here's where it gets funny. Approximately half-way through the calendar the dates and titles were black. The calendar was 12 months and began in May of 2006.
    I actually like the red dates.
    By the way the calendar style/theme used is "large type".
    Questions:
    (1) why did it change to black?
    (2) how can I consistently see these dates in red?

    Allan:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. See my last post in Calendar won't print black directional triangles. You can get any color you want but it requires some work.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
