Color changing shades when testing/exporting

Hello! I'm having an issue where a color is showing up different between being on stage when working on it and when tested/exported.
I've attached an image. The left is from when I'm working on it in captivate, and the right image is the tested version.
The slides are set to high quality. Is there another setting that I'm possibly missing?
Thanks!

Hi ,
Could you please tell me the version of Captivate you are using (go to Help > About Adobe Captivate ) ?
Have you tried to publish your project , If not then publish it to test the exact behavior ?
Please uncheck the option under Edit > Preferences > SWF size and Quality which says Advanced project compression and Compress SWF file . Then republish and check if it still behaves the same or not .
Thanks

  • My file and artboard changes size when I export

    I all, I'm working on a file that I have setup as 1045 px by 154 px. When I export this file to jpeg, png or bmp the file become over 4000 px wide. This is likely an easy thing I'm missing. Can anyone shed some light?
    Thank you
    Nelson

    Hi Monika, thanks for the latest response. I have considered that... but this is a very wierd one with a bit of background. This is for a super old system that needs a 1 bit file in black and white (exported as a bitmap) with 300 dpi resolution. I have no idea why it needs to be so specific... but they mentioned that the system will not except anything else. Hence my odd request for help.
    So I set this up in Illustrator, 1045 px by 154 px and then converted to greyscale and then exported to 1 bit bitmap which makes it true black. The problem is that when I open the file in Photoshop it shows that it's over 4000 px wide.The problem with this is that when I resize, this 1 bit image looks aweful. So I would rather export from Illustrator to the actual size.
    Thanks again for helping me with this.

  • How to change format when wrong export

    I think i have first given the wrong edit format-setting by importing clips in th timeline. It looked nomal so i did't notice that.
    I imported a DV 16:9 movie.
    After export the summery gave 768 x 576. That looks normal to me. (DV)
    but in de inspector: 982 x 540 NTSC!
    I don't understand that; NTSC and not PAL (in wich i always work, Europe) and the other figures.
    The mean question now is:
    how and were to change settings in fcpX that the export to .mov is 16:9 and PAL version?Or: w(I can't find nothing to do so.)
    What other can i do (exept editting it all over again...)
    Thanks!
    bruce

    Thanks! I chose file/ project properties and than something happend but i could nothing change to it. But after a while: in the inspector indeed: PAL and 720 x 576 DV.
    Then by share/export: 768 x 576.
    I hope it will be o.k. now, it is making a .mov file now.
    But how can this change has happened because i did 'nt. And why do you not see that in time?
    Any idea?
    Thanks!

  • Colors change when saving to PDF from InDesign

    I admittedly don't understand color handling, no matter how much I seem to read about it. Lately my files that I've been exporting to PDF from Indesign have looked slightly different and odd to me once they're converted to PDF. Sometimes the colors are dull, sometimes the drop shadows are a weird grey... Here's the latest example. Perhaps someone has some wisdom for me here...
    I created this poster in Illustrator. Here's how it looks in Illustrator:
    Then I went into Indesign and linked the file. (this is strange...) When I display the file with "typical display", it displays as such:
    That looks pretty good... But when I set the display to "high quality display", I get this:
    This is also the result I get when I open the exported file in Adobe Acrobat Pro. Why the color change?
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Thanks, Will...
    So, upon investigating, I realized that my color space in Illustrator was RGB... Damn... I must have overlooked that... When I convert (in Illustrator) to CMYK, I get those strange colors again.
    When I export to PDF, the Output is "no color conversion", so it's not being converted to CMYK yet...
    Plus, I just linked the AI files in Indesign when I placed them in there.
    So, Indesign must be converting the file to CMYK? And that's why the colors change once I convert to PDF? What do you think?
    Also, I used InDesign to place the files so that I could create a 2-page pdf easily that the printer could work with. I had a 4-up handbills page in there that I was planning on printing as well.
    So, if this looks best in RGB, what do you think about me sending an RGB file to the printer and then printing it that way? I've been told that RGB is no good for printing, but I've also read otherwise as well...
    Thanks again!!

  • Why do filler colors change when the orientation changes?

    Hi, I'm working with a template but don't like the colors of the fill boxes, so I have manually changed them.  I've noticed, however, at least when look at a proof that when I change the orientation of the iPad, the filler color reverts to the original.  The color change screws with the styles.  Anyone else have this problem?  Any fixes?

    Thanks for your reply.  I was fuzting with the "book" again.  It was the simplest -- and therefore easiest to modify stylistically -- template, which was supposed to work in both orientations.  I created it in landscape.  Last night I reallized that when I changed the orientation when working in iBook, if I applied the color change to the boxes [again], the color change stayed when viewed in either orientation. 
    BUT I also saw that the box placement in the portrait view is "wrong."  It covers part of one of the headlines.  While I have changed the headline font manually [not via paragraph styles, which I am finding difficult to manipulate], I have not moved the text.  It is where the template placed it but simply using a different font. 
    Thanks for any insight you might have.

  • ICal Calendar Colors Changing On Their Own; iCloud Connection

    AGGRAVATING PROBLEM:
    Many in this forum have written recently about a problem ongoing for people with multiple iCal calendars where iCal calendar colors change "automatically" when you haven't selected those colors, or even "change back" before your eyes to some color your DIDN'T select after you select a new one.  If you log into iCloud on the Web and try to change the color of certain calendars, they refuse to change.  Try as you might, the color you want for your calendar won't "stick" and it is forced to be the wrong color on all your devices.  In some cases, even the names of some of the calendars cannot be changed.  On other calendars in your list, the colors and names will change fine. 
    Related symptoms:  Calendars you have deleted "come back."   Or, calendars you did not create yourself show up in your calendars list, such as "Calendar" or "Home" or even "Untitled."  Note that the problem seems to be most prevalent with calendars with names "Home," "Work," OR either of these words in the NAME of the calendar.  For instance, "Bob's Work" might get snagged (it can't be deleted without coming back or its color is stuck and "comes back"). 
    I spent a long time on the phone with a helpful Apple senior advanced specialist on this problem today.  We conducted a very large number of "experiments". Our family has two iPads, 2 iPhones, and 2 iMacs, so it was easy to rule things in or out.  I will present some information that may help.
    SOME OF WHAT APPEARS TO BE GOING ON:
    First, Apple has not resolved this.  But the problem appears to be related to iCloud, and NOT to individual devices.  After de-linking all of my individual devices from iCloud, I could change any of the colors or names at will on any given device, create new calendars and then change their colors to whatever I wish, delete calendars, change names...no problem.  However, after re-linking calendars to iCloud, all the problems mentioned above returned.  The chances that my iMacs, iPhones, and iPads are all causing the problem independently is very low. They also have slightly different OS versions on them, so it is not likely an a particular device OS, though that could be indirectly related.  Also, the colors "change back" within about the same time (usually a few seconds to up to 30 seconds) that it takes to do a "refresh" (i.e. an update) to the iCloud servers.  This when iCloud is turned on, and the absence of it when iCloud is turned off (for calendars), strongly suggests that it is the iCloud server and its interaction with your devices that the fundamental cause of the problem.
    Apple has said that they are aware of this problem and their engineers are working on a fix.  Historically, this can mean just a few days, or it could be a few months, years, or "whenever."  They don't give estimates of when it will be fixed.  Exactly WHY this is happening is unclear, but my guess is that it is a modification to the iCloud server code that Apple implemented without testing it thoroughly enough to discover this problem.  Apple does not admit to that, of course and I don't know if I am correct.
    A WORKAROUND SOLUTION THAT WORKED FOR ME:
    Please note this is a workaround and not a full fix.  Apple needs to run a patch on their iCloud server code.  Until then, I did the following which seems to have worked for me for now.  Read the whole list before deciding whether to proceed.  I don't guarantee it will work in all situations.
    Note...I found I was stuck for now with the color of ONE of my calendars.  If you are like me, you want to keep that one and work around it....
    Backup first... Make sure that your iCloud copy of your calendar data has the calendar event information you want to save - even if the color is wrong.  Log in at www.icloud.com and do a refresh to sync to the Cloud.  Check over your calendars online to make sure the event data appears to be there for all of your calendars (even if their color or name is not what you want).
    Steps:
    1.     Go to every device that you have linked to iCloud separately. Go into Settings, iCloud, and then uncheck the "Calendars" option.  This delinks your calendars for that device to iCloud.  As you do this on each device, when prompted, select "Keep On My" ..iPAD...iPhone...iMac... etc.  This will preserve the calendar information on the device so it won't be deleted.  I think this is safer, but you can click on "Delete" if you want, too.  Note - if one of your devices is an iMac, with OSX Lion and before, you may be forced (I was) to delete the iCloud calendars from the iMac.  So again, make sure they are backed up to the Cloud first (or somewhere else).
    3.     With the iCloud Calendars Option on all your devices still turned off, go to the WEB and log into iCloud.com.  You need to figure our which calendar iCloud won't let you change the color for.  You probably already know.  On iCloud.com, click on "Calendars," then click open your calendar list and select "EDIT" at the bottom of the dialog box.  One at a time, click on the color dots next to each calendar name and try to change the color (you can put any back after the test if you want). You will probably see a certain one that just goes right back to what you don't want.  This is the one for which the color is stuck, but you may be able to change the name of it now that your devices are unlinked from iCloud.
    4.     Still in iCloud.com, change the names and colors of any of the other calendars you wish to change.  Delete any empty calendars that mysteriously appeared without your wanting them.  Take note of all the calendars, names, and colors that are on the final list of calendars.
    5.     On EVERY device, BEFORE turning iCloud back on on ANY of them: Change the colors and/or names of calendars, delete calendars, etc. so that the calendar names and colors on the device are exactly the same as what you left in iCloud.com in the last step.
    6.   One at a time on each device, go back to Settings and then "iCloud" and check again the box for "Calendars."  You will be asked whether you want to "MERGE" your data with iCloud.  I selected MERGE to ensure I didn't lose anything.  Link each device again into iCloud one at a time.
    7.  When each device is back, go back to iCloud on the Web, or go into iCAL on one of your devices.  Set to view ALL calendars.  Look for duplicates of some of your events.  I found quite several as an artifact of "merging", but in my case it only took me about 5 minutes to go through quickly and delete the duplicates.  It deleted the duplicates on all of the devices at once, so I only needed to delete dups on one device.  I did not find that I lost any events as long as I kept one valid copy.
    Again, no guarantees...hope this works for others.  Good luck.

    I'm getting the same thing and it's really bugging me! Keeps changing colour to one I do not want and I have tried everything to get it to stay the colour I have chosen!!

  • Color change between Illustrator versions

    When I'm opening an Illustrator cs file for a while back in Illustrator cs5, the colors change. When I try to open the cs file (eps) in Photoshop cs5, the colors change too. What setting am I missing? The document color mode is set on cmyk. Is it something inside of color settings? Thank you

    Ok... let me be more specific, sorry for the confusion. Here is exactly what's going on...
    Another designer is working in Illustrator CS and has created a logo that they provide to me in ai, eps, jpg, tif, png and gif. The jpg, tif, png and gif have been output from the eps file by opening the eps file in Photoshop and saving in the desired format. All these files have the same color.
    The issue is when I receive them and I want to either simply open the ai or eps in Illustrator CS5 (or CS3), or open the eps in Photoshop CS5 (or CS3) so I can save a big high res jpg for example, the color are lighter and not the same as the jpg provided from them. So I'm unable to create any files (jpg, gif, tif...) from the eps to match what was created before. Does that make sense?
    I have established that the other designer uses Illustrator CS and CMYK is selected for the 'document color mode' in Illustrator. When I work in Illustrator CS5 CMYK is also selected.
    When I have opened other eps files from the same Illustrator version, and looked at the files that were output from them, the colors are all the same, but in this case it is not. I'm wondering if I'm missing a setting somewhere or if this will always happen if you open an Illustrator CS eps inside Illustrator CS5.

  • Edit in PS, upload to the web. Colors changed??

    So I have an issue that I don't understand . It's probably something that I should know about but will ask .
    So I edited my picture in LR then I choose > Edit in Photoshop.
    All well. PS opens and I edit in PS. Then I save my image on my PC as a JPG.
    Then I want to upload it to a site certain site. And once the photo is uploaded the colors are all different.  Not sligtly but let's say I selected Old Polar as a preset . It will be like that in PS but on the web it looks like for example blue became closer to dark grey . Or other colors changed.
    When I edit first in LR . Save it to my computer . Then open it in PS it works fine. But I don't want to do that .
    What am I doing wrong ??
    Thanks for the help.

    Also check those Edit In preferences for color space. While in Photohsop check your color settings too*. Once there, if Edit In isn't providing sRGB, you can use the Convert to Profile command and select sRGB or use Save for Web. There are good reasons not to set the Edit In preferences for sRGB.

  • Strange color change in graphic when ID file exported to pdf  ID CS3

    I open a pdf of some special graphic or scientific equation in Photoshop, put it into grayscale, discard layers, and save as a Tiff. I then import it into a two-color InDesign document. With the selection tool, I choose a swatch of one of the two colors in the document at 10% tint, to be a background color (where there is no content in the Tiff). With the direct selection tool I then choose from the swatches the other color of the two-color document for the actual content of the graphic (text, drawing, etc.). On-screen this looks exactly as it should. However, when I export the InDesign file as a pdf, the color of the background of the graphic is a 10% tint of the second color, not the first color. I have tried redoing the graphic in Photoshop in different ways, but no matter what I do the export to pdf from InDesign changes the color of the background of the graphic to the other color. How can I fix this problem? I am on a new MacBook, 2.4 GHz Intel core 2 Duo; 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 memory; OSX 10.5.6.

    I previously posted this issue in InDesign forum, where I was said that it seems to be Acrobat issue. Therefore I am posting here.
    Thanks in advance
    Well this is the Reader forum. You cannot check colors using Reader. Are you using Acrobat? If so, you will want to ask in the Acrobat forum for your OS. Good luck.

  • Color changes when exporting to PDF from Apple Pages or Word

    When I export to PDF from Apple Pages or Microsoft Word, there is a noticable color shift.
    The RGB color values that are 23, 76, 140 in Pages for a medium shade of blue like this but appear as 50, 61, 134 with a decidedly purple cast like this in the PDF.  
    Has anybody else run into this problem?  Any tips for troubleshooting?

    Thanks for the reply.  It was created using Apple Pages. I tried exporting to PDF in two different ways, both with the same result.
    1. Within Apple Pages, one can click File > Export > PDF
    2. The other option is to click Print > PDF > Save as PDF
    I also tried this second method with Microsoft Word, and again the color was altered.  Any suggestions that you can provide to resolve this issue will be very helpful.

  • Why does text color change when exporting to PDF?

    I have a white background.  In a textbox, I have black text and white text.  When I export to a PDF, the black text stays black but the white text changes to black.  Any idea why that happens?
    I have a similar situation with shapes.  I have a black circle and a textbox on top of it.  There is white text in the textbox.  When I export, the white text here also changes to black.  So you can't see it in the PDF (becuase of the black circle).

    I do not get the problem.
    All text stays the correct color. Black is black and white is white in the pdf.
    Are you opening this on a Mac in Preview, or are you opening it in Adobe Acrobat?
    I have opened my .pdf (it would have helped if you had posted your problem pdf) in Acrobat on a Mac and that also has opened correctly.
    I tried both exporting and printing to .pdf both work in Preview and in Acrobat.
    Are you doing something else you have not told us about?

  • Color change when exported

    Using Lr4.1 on PC w/ win7pro laptop with external NEC multisync mmonitor-calibrated,  I've taken Raws made LR adjustments, then imported 3-10 images into photoshop layers for masking, merges, few if any color changes.  Then save as all layers as a psd, then flatten the psd and save as a tiff.  When I open in LR for any other minor tweaks, sharpening, dust spots, and do an export into SRGB or Adobe rgb, the colors are terrible.  Look nothing like what I see in LR.  I've heard people have minimal issues, but I am having major changes,  many times the collors will become dull and flat or very saturated when viewed.  As an architectural photographer I need these colors close to what I took.   If I edit in CR into PS I don't have this problem.  I assume its related to the prophoto RGB color changing, but I really don't know what's going on with the color space.  The color will appear different from my laptop monitor to the NEC by a lot which I understand a pro monitor will show more colors, but the color space shift is making a lot of work done in LR useless if I have to redo it all in CR.  How can I get LR to export the colors I see in LR into a srgb jpg and Adobe tiff?
    Thanks

    Lots of steps here:
    "Using Lr4.1 on PC w/ win7pro laptop with external NEC multisync mmonitor-calibrated,  I've taken Raws made LR adjustments, then imported 3-10 images into photoshop layers for masking, merges, few if any color changes."
    How do you get them into PS?  What do you mean by "imported 3-10 images into photoshop"?  Do you mean you use "Edit in.." from LR, and choose "Open as layers in Photoshop..."?
    "Then save as all layers as a psd, then flatten the psd and save as a tiff."
    How does it look in PS?
    "When I open in LR for any other minor tweaks, sharpening, dust spots"
    How do you open in LR?  The normal process, after "Edit in..." is that you save in PS, and the image is automatically stacked in LR against the original (or one of the originals, if you open several by "Open as layers in Photoshop...").  How does it look now?
    "and do an export into SRGB or Adobe rgb, the colors are terrible.  Look nothing like what I see in LR." 
    Only now they look terrible?  They looked OK in LR originally, OK in PS, OK when back in LR, but when you export they look bad - is that right?  And as Victoria says, how are you viewing the exported images? 
    "I assume its related to the prophoto RGB color changing, but I really don't know what's going on with the color space." 
    It certainly shouldn't be due to colour space changing.  The whole point of colour management is that it deals with this. 
    Final points:  you say your monitor is calibrated.  You do mean calibrated and profiled with a hardware instrument (Spyder, Colormunki etc)?
    And, color settings in Photoshop, they should look something like this:
    Choice of working space should be ProPhoto RGB, Adobe RGB or sRGB, but not a monitor or printer profile.  Policies should all be "Preserve" and I recommend all the "Ask When" boxed be checked (so you are warned of mismatches). 

  • Font color changes when I export to pdf

    I'm using Pages 08 still, and I'm creating newsletters, should be simple enough.  But when I export to pdf, there are portions of the text that change color.  For example, I have white text and a brown background, and for some reason the text changes to black.  The Pages document still shows it as white, it only happens with the exported pdf document.  I triend deleting the brown background layer, re-exported, but the font color still changes.  Thoughts?

    You have not said what version of Pages '08 you are using nor what version of OSX.
    For problems like these usually simply updating both Pages '08 and the version of OSX to the latest versions, fixes the problem. That does not mean upgrading to Pages '09 or OSX 10.8.2, just the latest of those you have installed.
    Failing that you need to look at what color model your text is. Stick to the cmyk that OSX's pdfs use and avoid rgb which is screen color.

  • Illustrator Showing Correct Colors, When Exported or Saved as PNG Certain Colors Change

    How can I resolve this?  I am new and just downloaded the trial. 
    Please help me.

    Exactly, so if you change your colour mode to RGB (File > Document Color Mode), your colours in Illustrator will change slightly but when you export to PNG there should be no colour change.
