Same color values look different while printed

Hello,
I have this problem and not sure how to solve it so I need your help. I needed to rework one wallpaper and elements I needed for it came embedded in a pdf file so I needed to crop them from it. I used Photoshop and rasterized that pdf file and then cropped those two elements from it including their dark grey background (elements are on the same page). After I positioned them in InDesign I wanted that background on which they are looks the same as background of the elements I cropped so I used eyedropper tool to get the same color. Pdf I exported looks fine but when printed on laser printer you can clearly see borders of cropped elements and different color in the background. Is there some option I'm missing to get it to look flat? Many thanks for help!

Hi,
elements I used are cropped from a pdf and set photoshop so that it
rasterize elements to CMYK mode. To be honest, I'm not sure how do you
set InDesign document to CMYK or RGB since it's not obvious as it is in
Illustrator or Photoshop. I thought it depends only on elements used -
if they are in CMYK or RGB. I think that this part with color profiles
is most confusing part of preparing documents for priniting, I'm not
sure which settings use so that files stay as they are when transfering
them to another computer.

Same color profile looks different on different users

My main user account displays colors differently than the other accounts I have on my iMac. I've eliminated all custom Colorsync profiles from the Library folders of the user accounts, so all users are using the standard iMac profile. There is a very clear difference when viewing the same TIFF or Photoshop files with the same applications but from different user accounts. For what it's worth, my main account displays much higher contrast than the other accounts.
I'm not sure what is making my main account behave differently from the others, but I'd like to get rid of it. (I removed two com.apple.ColorSync*.plist files from my main account Preferences folder, but this had no effect.) Anyone have any ideas?

Hello.
You may well be better off asking in the Panther forums as the users there may have more specific ColorSync experience.
In the meantime have a read of this article about using ColorSync First Aid.

Color balance looks different going from lightroom to photoshop which is correct?

Besides calibrating you rmonitor:
Make sure that in PS you have selected ProPhoto RGB as Working Space.
Go > Edit > Color Settings.
LR uses ProPhoto RGB and tht cannot be changed. So you have to make sure that PS uses the same Working Space.

Adobe Color CC color theme looks different in Illustrator

Whenever I import color themes from Adobe Color CC, they look different in Illustrator. The cmyk values are the identical but the colors just aren't the same. I guess it has something to do with my color settings in Illustrator but I can't figure out what it is. Here are my color settings:
I read Creative Suite * Keeping colors consistent and some other articles but couldn't figure it out...
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks a lot for any feedback!

That would be a real problem.
You're working with RGB colors on screen when you experiment. Browsers tend to not color manage anything so after the conversion what would you get?
On top of that: printing is different in each country, on each printer, on each paper, with each ink. You can't use the one conversion that suits all needs. Color management for this kind of world wide used web app would be really complicated. And I don't even think of all the people who don't know how to set it up correctly.

Ora_hash - Same hash value for different inputs (Urgent)

Hi,
Trying to use ora_hash to join between tables but i noticed that in some cases, when working on different input value the ora_hash function generates same results.
select ora_hash('oomeroe03|6NU3|LS006P|7884|1|17-JUL-13 13.18.22.528000|0005043|'),ora_hash('GSAHFFXTK|GCQ3|A6253S|12765|1|17-JUL-13 17.26.26.853000|0136423|')
from dual
Output value : 1387341941
Oracle version is 11gR2.
Thanks

Why would anyone limit the hash distribution to three buckets ?
However, one must understand that the default seed is 0. So one input repeated gets the same hash value unless the seed is changed.

Crystal Reports XI - How to pull same column value with different select...

I have a report with many (around 30) sub reports and it is giving serious performance issue. I am currently finding out a strategy to improve the performance. I see that most of the sub reports are taking same parameters from main report except for one parameter which is different for each sub report and hard coded in them and pulling up the same column value from a oracle database with a different select criterion. I am trying to find out a way using either of command/crystal formula/SQL expression which can do the same job for me and give me performance improvement. I tried to take the parameters from the main report in one sub report and mapped them to parameters being transferred to the command and then drag and drop the field for which I need to display the value but due to some reason it is not returning values when I am trying multiple commands...I need some help in selecting a strategy for this issue resolution and some guidance....Any help would be highly appreciated....

My version is 11.5.8.826. First of all I need to make it clear that I have 6 set of sub reports and each set has 5 sub reports. So if I can resolve the issue for one set, I resolve it for all. The sub reports are doing nothing but fetching a column value using a simple SQL SELECT query and appending to the right of a box in main report. The issue is that all these queries embedded into the sub reports are using same SQL except for one parameter in the "where" clause and they are fetching same column value from the database and fortunately all of them are returning same number of results. So at the end these results create a table when run. The only way I can stop using sub reports is by creating a table in the main report and use some object(formula/command/SQL expression or whatever) to fetch that column value using the same filter conditions. But please take a note that I need to use and append the same column value from a database table and use different filter conditions and append them to the right so that at the end they create a table...as long as I get the table in the output with a decent performance , anyone will be least bothered about what I used inside the report.....please ask me as many questions to get more lights on the issue....

Mapping different same column value into different column based on conditio

Hi experts,
We have source as Oracle tables and target also Oracel tables.
Source
Column1|Column2|Column3
Target
trg1|trg2
I need to
insert the value of Column1 into trg1 where column2='xxx'
insert the value of column1 into trg2 where column3='yyy'
After giving the conditions on the mapping, the where conditions are getting clubed with and and I am getting different value than what is excepted. Like the similar way I have the same scenario for most of the columns in my target table. Suggest me how to do it.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I tried the mapping but getting duplicate records.
case1: Only AND condtion is getting applied automatically as per the joins between tables..i m not able to change the AND to OR condition since there are three table joins.
case2: when i try to execute the separate query for the column, i getting the values once put in case statement only NULL values are getting fetched.
As all my target mapping are like this...lot of issues are getting raised while fetching records...
I have given my scenario once again below.
src1
col1
src2
col1
col2
col3
col4
src3
col1
tar1
col1
col2
mapping given are
tar1.col1 = select src2.col3 where src2.col1='xxx' and src2.col2='yyy' and src2.col4=src1.col1
tar1.col2 = select src2.col3 where src2.col1='aaa' and src2.col2='bbb' and src2.col4=scr2.col1
Kindly suggest how to do the mapping in details...I am stuck bcoz of this mapping......thanks in advance.

Sequence Settings - seem to be same - but video looks different

Hello all.
I have a project that I have 6 or 7 sequences that I have edited, output as self-contained quicktimes, and then sent them on to Compressor to turn into mp4's. Everything's great.
EXCEPT for one, single sequence. I have no explanation for it, but this one sequence -- when I look at it in Finder the thumbnail appears to be in the correct 16x9 format. But when I drag it into QT 7, it formats almost completely square! And then when I test it in MP Streamclip - completely square. But then when I play it with QT10 - it seems to maintain it's format.
I think I remember that QT 7 and QT10 play pixel aspects differently? But I can't seem to figure out why one sequence outputs and plays differently from another sequence? They all have the same settings?
Settings are:
Frame Size: 1280x1080
Aspect Ratio: HD 1280x1080
Pixel Aspect Ration: HD 1280x1080
Anamporphic NOT checked
Compressor DVCPRO HD 1080p30
Thanks for sharing your ideas...
db

It's always best to convert nonsquare pixel video to square pixel dimensions for use on computers. 1920x180 is the correct format for 1080 with square pixels. You can try and adjust the display pixel dimensions in quicktime player but I wouldn't count on it.

Same colors appearing different in the same document

I have a document where I have filled different table cells with the same RGB color. However, they sometimes appear as two different shades, one darker than the other. I checked to be sure it was the same RGB color and it was, but it appears quite different both in InDesign and when I export it to pdf. Any idea why the same color is appearing differently in the same document?

It doesn't appear to be a monitor problem, as the colors are different both on my laptop screen and on my external monitor. As I do not have the ability to print a hard copy before the file gets sent to the printer to make a proof, I need to know which is the "right" color (or at least the once closest to how it will print). Even if the colors are showing up differently on screen, if the swatch for both is exactly the same, will it show up as the same color once the actual hard copy is printed?

Printing Problems - FH11 - shifted color values

I am printing on a non-PostScirpt, ink-jet printer (LexMark
X6190). When I print a document, with various combinations of text
and photos, the colors on the header change. On a correct page, the
header would be a medium wine red. But, on page with a photo
(imported JPEG) the header color will shift to more of a light
brown. And, occasionally, on pages with just text, the header color
shifts to more of a pinkish value. Text colors (dark blue) do not
shift from page to page.
It "feels" like a color calibration problem, and that
specifically in the red zone. And, LexMark Customer Service (after
running some tests) assured us it is not a printer/hardware
problem.
Any thoughts, suggestions...
Thanks

Does your document contains a mix of RGB and CMYK colors. Are
all of your
images, text and vector objects using the same color space?
Does the printer use RGB or CMYK input? What does the printer
documentation
recommend?
What are your FH color management settings?
When in the Print dialog, does the printer driver offer any
color
adjustments? If so, have you used any of them?

Why same custom designed item looks different on different MIDP phones?

Same MIDP application looks different on different phones, which is obvious. But the sizes of custom items are also looks different, which is some thing trouble some. IE the custom designed button of size say 50 X 20, looks proper on BlackBerry MIDP phone, but same button looks very small [cant even recognize] on Nokia MIDP phone. Why it is so?
Is there any way to design items as per the phone dimensions? Regards.
Note: I want to get standard item size, font size etc. so that I can use them directly. In this case on every device the designed items will look proper
Edited by: nikhil_shravane on Aug 21, 2010 04:27 AM

The look depends on mainly three things, the screen size, screen resolution and dpi. Although dpi is related to the ration of screen size and screen resolution. If the dpi is higher, the same image or item will look smaller than from a device which has a lower dpi. Like the iPhone and BB Bold both has almost identical screen resolution, however Bold has a higher dpi so the same image or a html page looks smaller on Bold than it is in iPhone.

Consistent RGB Color Values with Photoshop CS4: An Impossibility??

What I want is very simple: I want the Photoshop files I am working on and the rendered PNGs in my browser to have the same color values. I don't care if my web images look the same color on other screens or anything like that. All I want is for the screenshots of PNGs my web browser to match the color values I have used in Photoshop. I've had it up to here with color shiftsthis did not used to be an issue in CS3.
Moreover, if I save a file on my Mac, and a color value is, say, #cf4640, I want someone who opens the file on a Windows box to get the same color value for that pixel. Ditto for the images I have saved for the webI want the RGB values to be consistent. This does not seem like too much to ask, does it?
Right now, I have turned all color management policies set to Off, working spaces are all set to Generics, and documents are set to "Don't Color Manage"my Windows colleagues also have these same settings. This used to work as expected in CS3we all got the same color values on the same files, and colors didn't shift when viewed in a browser.
Once again, I don't care if the colors *look* the same from platform to platform or screen to screen. I just want consistent RGB values.
Color management has never caused me anything but headachesleave my colors alone, Photoshop! I really really wish there was a "Work Like Photoshop 4" setting for color management.
Does anyone have any ideas how I might solve my problems?
Thanks very much.
Oh, and, incidentally, I was originally thinking of calling Adobe about this; how foolish of me. I looked into it, and can I just say how fantastic it is that you have to pay extra money for actual first-party tech support on a $700 piece of software?

The sounds/language analogy isn't really relevant to this problem, because it suggests transforming between two entirely different media. One medium: the medium of sound information, to another entirely different medium: the medium of thoughts and meanings. That's something that simply can't be done without an intermediate translation. That's not the case with color transforms in the RGB space, where it's just a matter of taking RGB values and pushing them through a matrix to produce other RGB values. That's the process that messes everyone up and creates all the confusing color output, and frankly it's an unnecessary process. Your assertion that the values in a source image have no meaning without an associated profile isn't entirely true. What if those source values were simply pushed directly though to the display? After all, a display simply renders 8 bits of R, 8 bits of G, and 8 bits of B for each pixel.
I think the original poster has some very valid concerns. Sometimes we just want to set some color values, and know that everybody's display, on every platform, will render those color values the same way. As he said, they may not look identical to the eye, but the values going through that DVI cable will be setting that pixel to the same 24-bit value no matter what. That's how things would be if there were no such thing as color management. That's how things used to be long ago, and in many ways the world of color was far more predictable and less confusing back then.
Here's my vision for a perfect world: color management doesn't exist in the RGB space. None. No such thing. Source RGB values in images get pushed right through to the display. The onus is on the display manufacturers to produce hardware that renders those values as consistently as possible. In the world of print, sure- color management is incredibly useful. But if only we could go back in time and keep color profiles out of our RGB, I believe we'd be much better off today.
