Color Inconsistency Problem when opening a file designed in InDesign

I am designing images in Indesign CS. I am using lab color. When I export those files as pdfs (in the color settings I check "leave unchanged") and when I open them up in Photoshop CS in lab color, I use the eyedropper tool to see if my colors are the same. The lab color numbers are all shifted slightly from what they originally were in InDesign. I am using color management in both Photoshop and InDesign with the same profile. Shouldn't my colors stay the same? Why are they changing slightly? It is very important that they be exact.

Mary,
I've done two tests:
1. Open p.3 of this doc in PhS (CS2) in mode Lab:
http://www.fho-emden.de/~hoffmann/swatch16032005.pdf
The doc was programmed in Lab by PostScript. PhS shows
the correctly rounded values (original values under
each swatch). Occasionally tiny errors like this:
50.47-->51 .
2. The same doc p.3 placed in ID, then added a rectangle
with Lab=50/60/70. Exported as PDF (colors unchanged)
and opened in PhS: exactly 50/60/70.
So far everything seems to be correct, but the second
test concerns only one ID Lab swatch.
If you send me an example doc with color swatches and
numbers then I would analyze it (e-mail by clicking
on my name).
Clicking on the name doesn't work. Use [email protected]
I don't have CS, only CS2, if this should matter.
Best regards --Gernot Hoffmann

  • Colour problems when opening PEF files in ACR

    I have the problem that when I open a (Pentax) raw image in ACR the colours (particularly blue it seems to me) go awry.
    If I open  the image in Pentax Photo Browser the image is displayed correctly.
    If  I convert the image to jpg in Pentax Photo Lab the image is displayed  correctly.
    If I open this jpg in Photoshop Elements 8 the image is  displayed correctly.
    It's only when I open the raw files directly in Photoshop  that the colours are wrong.
    Opening the raw file in Elements opens the  'Camera raw' window, which has various adjustment tabs with sliders.   What ever adjustments I make in this window, I cannot seem to  replicate/keep the correct colours.
    I have tried resetting and then using the Camera Raw Defaults.
    I've also tried some other adjustments, i.e. setting the white  balance to 'Daylight' (as this is how the camera is usually set) and the  camera calibration to 'Camera Standard' - I can get the blue somewhat  close, but then the yellow is out.
    So, at the moment, I have to process  the raw files in Pentax Photo lab, then open and edit them in  Photoshop.
    It would be nice to be able to bring single PEF files into PS without having to convert them first.
    What  on earth am I doing wrong?  Or is this a genuine limitation with ACR?
    Any help/guidance would be appreciated!
    Regards,
    Dingo.

    Jim Hess,
    That's helpful advice, thank you.  Sadly, I've been unable so far to make adjustments in ACR that are anywhere near (IMHO) the images as displayed in Pentax Photo Lab.  Even the (truly awful) MS Office picture manager provides more consistent colour.
    I'm still convinced that I'm doing something wrong.  I know that Elements is much cheaper than full Photshop (something that I simply can't afford to buy) but to be so wildly out is unbelieveable.
    For example, I took a photo of a jet passing overhead, with (out of focus) leaves on a tree, then went in and loaded this onto my computer.  IMHO the Pentax Photo Browser showed the scene pretty much as was. After converting to jpg in Photo Lab, I loaded into PSE 8 and Office picture manager - both display consistently with the raw image displayed in Photo Browser.
    However, when I loaded the same raw file into ACR the blue sky has a greenish tinge that I can nearly adjust out, but either way, the green leaves look muddy and the colour is weak.  If I get the leaves good, then the blue is very over saturated.  When I compromise both the blue and the green, the aluminium fuselage on the jet has a red/purple tinge.
    Some more information:  Monitor is calibrated (I borrowed a colleages Huey).  Camera and PSE are both set to Adobe RGB.  I print to a Epson R1400, with colour management handled by PSE, and the colour matches the screen very well.
    Any further advice much appreciated.
    Regards,
    Dingo.

  • Problem when opening CSV files after update

    Hello
    I have updated a Mac to OS 10.6
    Before the update, when clicking on a CSV file (bank statements) the file would open in Microsoft Excel and display all the fields in their own columns.
    Afer the update, all the fields are contained in one column. It looks like excel is not seeing the commas ? Previewing the CSV file in numbers works correctly though.
    How can I resolve this?
    Secondly, the CSV file has numbers (deposits) listed as +0000000023.99 for example. Before the update, that transaction would have showed as 23.99 in its column in excel - now it shows it as +0000000023.99.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    This looks like an Excel issue. You didn't say which Excel version you're using. Try posting your question on Microsoft's Mactopia Office forum, but include the version and update number in your inquiry. I can tell you though that in the current Excel 2008 version, I open up csv files all the time without any problem at all.

  • What is the problem when opening jpg files using Desktop API

    Hi, i would like to open jpg, or gif files using Desktop API, and the application crashes.The Desktop API is supported by my OS, because txt files, or file directories can be opened, mails can be sent, browsing is also supported.
    Only jpg and gif, and i think other picture formats cannot be opened.
    Obviously ACDSee and other picture viewing programs are installed in my computer.
    The corresponding application code can be found at the bottom of the page of http://www.awprofessional.com/articles/article.asp?p=661371&seqNum=2&rl=1
    my code:
    if(Desktop.isDesktopSupported()){
    Desktop desktop=Desktop.getDesktop();
    try
    desktop.open (fileToOpen);
    catch (IOException ioe)
    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog (frame,
    "I/O problem");
    catch (IllegalArgumentException iae)
    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog (frame,
    "File doesn�t exist");
    fileToOpen is obviously a File.
    Thx for the help in advance.

    My file association for jpg files is correct, if i click on a
    jpg, ACDSee starts immediately.Although I am a long time Windoze non-user, I vaguely remember that there's a difference between correct file-type association being set and some application starting at a mouse click on a file icon. I also vaguely remember Windoze file-type association mechanism uses a few action-types. Java Desktop should expect a specific action-type for the association.

  • Odd problem when opening a file and displaying it in a gui

    When I load up my program, it displays the contents of the array as JLabels in a frame. Just say the file contained the following characters
    ###$$###
    When executing the program for the first time, the output is correct and will obviously look like this
    ###$$###
    However, when closing the instance of the program and loading it up again, the output will be
    ###$$###
    OOOOOOOO
    Where the O's are those square characters you get. (char) 12312 to be exact. Any idea why? I am using Dr. Java

    Nevermind. I got it fixed. Wasn't closing the frame properly. I apologize.

  • Problem when opening files

    I need help. I have a new intel imac, which has been running very well. However, a month ago I noticed when opening a file it will take a number of seconds to show the contents. For example, I click on a file and the file window will pop up but the window will be empty for 6-8 seconds before the file contents will appear. It doesn't matter what I have in the file (docs, pdf, pics) file content is always slow to appear. Anyone have this happen? Anything suggestions on how to correct? Thanks.

    You need to post to the [intel forum|http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1110], but have you tried resetting the PRAM?

  • Adobe Reader 8.1.2 (admplugin.apl) crash when opening PDF files

    Hi,
    I did spend some time today trying to get Adobe Reader 8.1.2 to run on a Citrix Access Essential 2.0 server.
    Setup
    Server OS:
    Windows Server 2003 SP2 - fully patched.
    Other software:
    Office 2003 Standard, Danish, SP3
    Symantec Antivirus 10.1
    Adobe Reader 8.1.2, Danish
    The installation is clean (1 week old).
    Problem description:
    When opening PDF files, Adobe Reader crashes before showing any content from the PDF file. The module crashing is admplugin.apl.
    Work-arounds tried:
    Uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Reader 8.1.2 (DK).
    Disabling Antivirus (service stopped)
    Replacing admplugin.apl with admplugin.apl from Adobe Reader 8.0
    Uninstalling DK version and installing US version.
    Adding user to local Administrators to exclude any permission related problems.
    Deleting Adobe folders from users profile Application Data\Adobe\... and Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\...
    Turn DEP off
    Solution:
    Finally I gave up and installed 7.0.9 (Danish). It works as expected.
    It seems that the problem is known and a few user has reported this. One Adobe KB article mentions the problem, and the solution is to disable some 3. party diagnostic/support tools provided by DSL providers. This is definitively not the issue in this installation.
    Anybody from Adobe having any input to this problem?
    Best regards from Denmark!

    Hi,
    I am having a similar issue with Ver 8.1.2 running over cirtix with a similar setup to Jans-Peter.
    The difference is that Reader opens fine but when you try to edit preferences it crashes.
    This only happens on an citrix session. If I run reader on the server directly it works OK.
    However after reading above I can replicate the problem on the server by moving or deleting the ADMPlugin.apl file.
    Any further ideas at all?

  • Adobe Acrobat pro 9.4.6 crashes when opening multiple files simultaneously.

    We have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 which has been updated to version 9.4.6. we had this problem when the 9.4.5 update was applied also. It is now crashing when we try to open multiple files simultaneously.
    Yesterday, I narrowed down the problem to 6 plugins:
    IA32
    ADBC
    eBook
    EScript
    HLS
    PPKLite
    SaveAsRTS
    However, we discovered that that Comments and markup tool bars weren't loading. So I did a repair install on it.
    Now those plugins from yesterday work and Acroform.api is causing it to crash when opening multiple files.
    I did try other suggestion that involved using Icacls/cacls on dll files to no avail.
    It is running on XP SP3 fully updated with plenty of RAM and HDD space.
    Is there a way to fix this without reinstalling?

    I am not sure what's causing this problem on your machine because everything's working fine for me.
    What is the version of Acroform.api on your machine now.
    Do a Repair after deleting this file and see if it works.
    Enable Windows MSI logging (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314852) before you do a repair, upload that log to some file sharing server, and paste its link here.

  • Acrobat Pro 9.3 Crashes when opening multiple files

    Acrobat Pro 9.3 Crashes when opening multiple files. I have not seen any solutions in forums that solves this problem. I have just done the most recent update and it still crashes.

    Acrobat Pro 9.4.2 (CS5) is doing the same thing on my Windows XP SP3 with 3.5 GB of ram and 206 GB of my brand new 300 GB hard drive free.
    It starting doing this at the end of last year before my hard drive died.  Then after rebuilding the entire system on this new drive it worked fine, until I downloaded all the updates and now it is broken again.  Anytime I open more than one PDF, Acrobat crashes.  I send the error report every time.

  • When opening a file of any type in Photoshop (CS4), the windows will not appear in Ps.

    When opening a file of any type in Photoshop (CS4), the windows will not appear. Photoshop will open and I can see the layers on the right but the document window will not come up no matter what I try.  I try closing down everything, double-clicking a layer, opening multiple windows, etc.. Any thoughts?

    Can you post a screenshot of your entire Photoshop screen with a file loaded in and the layers panel showing?
    It helps if we see the same problem you are seeing
