RGB Color management between Illustrator and Photoshop

Hi,
I have a color management issue when exporting JPGs from Illustrator and opening them in Photoshop:
In Illustrator (file is in RGB mode), I have a logo which has the color RGB 0/0/153 and I export a JPG. When I open the file in Photoshop, the color is RGB 1/0154.
I have activated Adobe CC Color Manegement via Adobe Bridge (option "Europe, Universal 3"), which should produce consistent results in all Adobe applications.
So which is the color that is actually in the file? And what do I have to do to get the color I want (0/0/153) actually exported from Illustrator? I need this color to comply with corporate design specifications of my client.
Since I have to produce a lot of files it is not possible to readjust all colors in Photoshop ...
Thank you!
Michael

First, check to make sure that the RGB working colorspace is the same for both Illustrator and Photoshop.
When exporting the jpeg from Illustrator make sure the 'embed' color profile is selected, and it is the color profile that is required for your client. If this is for web use, then sRGB is your best choice.
When you open the exported image in Photoshop, make sure that the color settings for Photoshop are set to 'Preserve Embedded Profiles'. After you open the image in Photoshop, you can double check by going to Edit > Convert to Profile... The source profile should match the embedded exported profile from Illustrator. If these match, your RGB color values from Illustrator and Photoshop should also match.
If the source profile does not match, cancel out of the 'Convert to Profile" and go to 'Assign Profile". Assign the profile that you embedded when exporting from Illustrator. Now Photoshop should have the same values as Illustrator.

Can I switch between Illustrator and Photoshop? (I am subscribing to only one product per month)

Can I switch between Illustrator and Photoshop? (I am subscribing to only one product per month)

Absolutely. Just change the sim card and the APN details in the settings. You can do this either manually if you know them or just sync with iTunes after changing the sim and the details will sync. Once you have done it once for each network the device seems to remember the details.

Same colors display differently between Illustrator and Photoshop

Hi there,
I would love to know why the same colors display differently between my Photoshop and Illustrator apps (CS3). For example, a logo will display much darker or more vividly in Illustrator than in Photoshop, same file, same colour values. My color settings are synchronized from Adobe Bridge to North American Pre Press 2. I've opened the logo file in RGB color mode, in both apps. It would be so helpful if both apps displayed the colours consistently.
Any suggestions on how to do this would be wonderful!
Thanks!
Bobbie

Hello Bobbie,
I am using CS3 too and let me tell you that this Illustrator version is the worst ever. You best bet is to take the "Eye Drop" tool and select the Photoshop element to match the color.
CS4 also have problems when handle placed items. Sadly I can tell you that CS2 is more reliable than CS3 and CS4.
Not even if you use Pantone colors will match, Illustrator will change the colors making it impossible to match. "Adobe Quality"

Working Between Illustrator and Photoshop

Hi guys,
I guess you could call me a novice when it comes to working between products, but I am using both photoshop and illustrator. Photoshop, I'm obviously using for image editing and touch ups, illustrator I am using to create graphics. I am wondering if there is an easier way to work between the two (that is having a file simultaneously updated through both programs. (when you edit the file one program, the edit appears on the other). It just a pain to work between the two, because I can't always anticipate what my work will look like on one program when I am designing on another. Plus, the quality of my images seem to decrease as I import images into illustrator.
Thanks for your help!
Dan

You get what you ask for:
I usually start in Illustrator, creat some vector artwork, add some brushes to it in photoshop....
PS, for all intents and purposes, is pixel based. The only way to retain vector editability would be to use smart objects, but then again none of this matters when you go back to AI as it has its own share of issues dealing with PS files. It's really your workflow.. You should try to only do the parts in PS that you realyl must and then export them as a separate document with transparency which then can be imported and integrated in AI...

Color Sync Between iPhoto and Photoshop

iPhoto's retouching tool does a good job for retouching small marks in a photo, but there are times when Photoshop is needed to do rechouching work.
While making a slideshow I noticed a colorshift when moving an image from iPhoto to Photoshop and then back into the iPhoto. To be more specific there is a loss of saturation as if the color space between the to programs are not sycncronized or embedded profiles are changed when an image moves between the two. The images are five mega pixle jpgs.
This issues is made more complicated because of color differences between iPhoto's edit window and the slideshow it's self while it is playing.
Apparently I'm missing something in using these to programs together.
Photoscene

Thanks for your help. I did change the value, but have not imported any new pictures yet into iphoto. I did figure out how to get Photoshop to not color shift on save. However I'm not sure this method is a good thing, since the only way to prevent the color shift on saves, is from the photoshop save as dialog box. you must turn off embed color profile. when I do this, there is no longer a color shift. however the color profile is no longer embeded in the picture. are there any negatives for doing it this way?

Problems between Illustrator and Photoshop with CS

Hi all, I wasn't sure where to put this so I put it here.
I have just upgraded my OS to 10.4.5
Since then, if I have a document open in Illustrator, and copy an element (such as a picture) on to the clipboard, when I go to Photoshop this alert comes up:
"Could not import the clipboard because the specified format is not in the edition."
Any idea why it says this? It's really annoying!!!!!!!!

this was a known issue. i have CS2 some i'm not exactly sure what if anything has changed but try this:
open up illustrator.
in the menu bar click on illustrator>preferences>file handling & clipboard
where it says "copy as:" make sure both options are checked.

Can you link files between illustrator and photoshop and maintain layers?

Want to be able to open an AI file in photoshop, maintain the layers I have in illustrator and be able to edit the AI file and have those edits automatically appear in photoshop. I think this is possible.

Do you mean you want an Illustrator Smart Object’s Layers represented as Photoshop Layers and still be linked to one ai/pdf file?
If so I have to disagree with your assumption:
I think this is possible.
While Photoshop Smart Objects have Layer Comps capabilities in Photoshop CC 2014 Illustrator Layers (and pdf Layers) are quite different from Photoshop Layers.
What exactly are you trying to achieve?

Color discrepancy between FCP and Photoshop

I'm having trouble with a discrepancy b/w FCP text and Photoshop text. We chose a color of 162-56-25 (reddish orange) for FCP text for a project I'm editing. When we created graphics in photoshop and After Effects with those same values, and brought them into final cut, the color ended up being much lighter. Anyone know why? We've got multiple people working on the project, and on the the graphics. I'd like to standardize the color value, instead of having everyone trying to match. Tks!

Sure. But if I'm looking at BOTH the FCP generated text and the Photoshop and AE graphics in final cut, and on the same monitor, shouldn't they look the same? I don't mind if I'm not seeing them with complete accuracy in FCP, i.e. I don't mind if they look slightly different on different monitors, but I want them all to match.
Does that make sense? I guess the key piece of info I left out is that I'm looking at the AE and Photoshop text IN FINAL CUT.

Color Management between AE and Pre Pro

Hello,
I'm posting this in both the AE and Premiere Pro Forums
I was working on clip in Pr Pro, sent it over to AE to do some color correcting. Normally when I have the 2 programs open, one is on my Apple Cinema Display monitor and the other is on my old HP monitor, so I expect to see some color differences. However, by chance I had both on the apple monitor and noticed that there was a color/luminance difference of the same exact clip on the different programs.
Which Program is displaying the true colors????????
Which program should I use to make my coloring decisions?
Should it be the program that will be doing the final render once the project is complete??
Is there a way to make the 2 programs uniform????
Lastly, if I choose a color management in AE project settings, should it be my monitor, NONE, or what? This color management issue is very confusing with so many different choices.
You guys (Adobe) need to simplify this.
Thank You
I'm using CS4 on a Mac OS 10.5.8.

I second the request--I know that getting TRUE color representation on a computer monitor is very hard, if not totally impossible, and that we really need to use a real reference monitor, but for those of us who cannot afford a proper reference monitor, it would be very nice to have some better color management options built into Premiere for getting our computer screens properly calibrated... I think I'll post a feature request! :-)

Color Conversion Problems between Illustrator and Photoshop (and Mac and PC)

Hi guys (and gals) Hope someone can help me here.
Got an issue working with a web design companywho when opening my eps logo file from Illustrator (I'm running all CS5.5 they're running CS4) into their version of Photoshop the color values are different. I'm not talking about 'not looking the same' but when clicking on the colors they have different numeric values. I'm running Mac OS X ad they're running a Windows based OS.
My Illustrator file is in RGB mode. It has an Adobe RGB profile attached to it. I've set the web design company's PC version of Photoshop color settings to Adobe RGB and preseve embedded profiles as a setting.
However the conversion issue still happens. Tried exporting my color palatte as a .ase swatch file and imorting a new swatch set into their Photoshop and still getting the different color values.
Anyone experienced this issue before? Am I missing changing a color/profile setting on one of the machines/software packages?
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Phil

... my eps logo ..
Why are you using EPS? It is kind of outdated format these days.
EPS does not support color profiles. The default Save as EPS options in Illustrator include CMYK conversion which changes the values. To avoid this uncheck "Include CMYK Post Script" in the save options. Then when you open the file in Photoshop the RGB values will be the same and if you want it displayed the same, in Photoshop choose Edit > Assign Profile and choose the same profile - Adobe RGB in your case. The color settings in Photoshop will have no effect and can remain unchanged.
If you do that using the same computer the colors will be identical in values and appearance. If you do it on different computers the values will be the same and the color appearance will depend on if both computers have been calibrated to display colors accurately.

Color changes between Lightroom and Photoshop Elements

I have a new monitor and I have the SyderPro4 calbration software. My monitor is the Dell UltraSharp U2713HM. When calibrated with the Syder my colors are different when I go into different programs. The same photo looks different in Lightroom than it does in Photoshop Elements. When I export the picture from Lightroom to Elements the picture becomes very orange. I have already talked to Dell and to Datacolor about my issue and they both are telling me this shouldn't be happening. When I uninstall my calibration software my problem goes away, and the colors of the images stay consistant between the two programs. Does anybody have any advice to what maybe wrong?

How do you export to Elements? Directly from Lightroom? If so, what profile are you choosing? What resolution are you specifying? I normally use proPhoto RGB which is the profile that LR more or less uses internally and 330.

I get a size/scale mismatch between Illustrator and Photoshop.

I'm sure there's a simple solution for this, but I've forgotten it: If I draw an Illustrator shape over a Photoshop file used as a template, now, when I copy and paste the AI shape into the PS file the scale is wrong. It's too big sometimes and too small other times. Either way, I have to do a lot of jiggery-pokery to match up the new AI layer to the existing Photoshop image. What setting have I missed, or what am I doing wrong?

Logo color changing between Illustrator and Premiere

I'm trying to import an .esp file into Premiere, but the color changes drastically from Illustrator to Premiere. Any suggestions on how to make it look more like the original?

CMYK originally, then I converted it to RGB in Illustrator. Both modes looked like the same too-happy blue in Premiere.

3D Differences between Illustrator and Photoshop

I created a 3D file in Photoshop and decided to create a vector version instead in Illustrator. When I tried to do the same thing in Illustrator, I got a different outcome. Photoshop has a base plane where Illustrator does not.
How can I create a similar 3D render in Illustrator?
Here are the samples so you can see the difference.
Photoshop 3D render
Illustrator 3D render (notice the shadow below "YEARS")

What do you expect from an upward view?
You need to look at it from the front, only slightly below
