Some colours change from Photoshop to Illustrator in Swatches saved in Exchange format

When I save a colour swatch in Photoshop Extended CS3 in the .ase format and load it into Illustrator CS3, some of the colours change completely - e.g. a bright orange #ffbb29 (in Ps) appears as a pale grey blue #B2BACE (in Ai). The problem seems to be with the use of upper or lower case - if the orange is question is saved as #FFBB29, it appears correctly in Illustrator (although bizarrely this seems to only affect some colours that feature (hex) letters).
Is there a way of getting Photoshop to automatically give the values in upper case? I know I could just retype them all, but it would take ages (I use Swatches all the time) and it kind of defeats the whole Exchange idea. Or is there another way round the problem? My colour settings are synched (via Bridge) across CS3 Design Premium. Thanks in advance.

Duotone/ Multichannel files (TIFF, PSD) where each channel is a spot color. Off the top of my head I'm not sure if JPEG even supports this, but it may.

  • How to change from Photoshop CC to Photoshop Photography Program?

    Is it possible for me to do this change? I don't mind to get tied for another year.
    Please let me know. Thanks!
    P/S: I saw some support staff has been helping to cancel the subscription for Photoshop CC and allow them to subscribe the Photography Program, can I have the same treatment as well? Thanks!

    Well it’s not easy it seems. Some got help in two minutes others, like us, nothing?????
    Perhaps it only works in the USA not in Europe?

  • To change from Photoshop Album 2.0 to Photoshop Elements 12 can I do an upgrade or do I need full

    to change from Photoshop album 2.0 to Photoshop Elements 12 can I do an upgrade or do I need to get the full verision

    I don't think adobe offers an upgrade path from photoshop album 2.0, but you can find photoshop elements
    12 cheaper at your local box store than even the adobe upgrade price.
    They are both the full versions anyway.

  • File displaying different from Photoshop to Illustrator

    I have a simple chalkboard background I made in Photoshop and I'm importing into Illustrator. My issue is the file displays completely different from Photoshop to Illustrator. See image below.
    I've had this happen to other files but this one is so incredibly different, I can't understand what's happening and I can't manage the design with it being this different. Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance for your help!
    Rachel

    Thanks again Monika. I can't figure this out. The color management is all synchronized among all my Adobe applications. Yes the file is in layers and when I view the JPG in Photoshop, it looks as it should. It's only when I bring it into Illustrator does it look like that. I opened up a new Illustrator doc and placed the same JPG (as well as dragged the PSD file directly from the Photoshop window into Illustrator) and it looks better and more like it should. My other doc was a new doc too so I'm not sure what happened. At any rate, I can't explain what happened and I'm just hoping it doesn't happen again.
    Thanks for your help!

  • CS6  Just upgraded my mac to Yosemite but now can't import graphics from photoshop to illustrator.  Does anyone know a solution

    CS6  Just upgraded my mac to Yosemite but now can't import graphics from photoshop to illustrator.  Does anyone have a solution?

    My advice to you is, if you can, drop back to Mavericks. You will have better luck since CS4 is not supported (nor are CS5 or CS5.5) on Yosemite. The other alternative is to uninstall the entire suite, run the cleaner tool and reinstall completely from the original discs or a new download. Be prepared for other fun stuff as well.

  • Having a problem moving a text document from Photoshop to Illustrator.. Won't let me edit the text

    Hi there,
    I'm a complete technophobe so the answer to this could be quite obvious. I had to create a text using photoshop because of the inside of the text... i.e using a lobster font and it was pink glitter inside it so to give a girly effect.. It's for a college asignment.
    I have to use illustrator CS6 to put that text on a b/ground I already made in Illustrator but the .psd doc won't let me edit it in illustrator, it's almost like a PDF. Help!
    I hope it's not too confusing to understand, thanks in advance.

    Erica,
    is there a simpler way of explaining that?
    And I feared it was too easy to understand.
    You may, in front of the overall background (which you may lock or hide):
    1) Create a background with the appearance you wish to apply to the letters, such as a solid cpolour, a gradient or other clolour transition, and some pink glitter in front of it, you may Group all this for convenience; and you may use raster artwork (maybe from Photoshop) if you like;
    2) With the Type Tool create the live Type on top of 1), you may move and size it to fit (roughly);
    3) Select 1) and 2) and Object>Clipping Mask>Make; 2) will become the (invisible) Clipping Path showing the parts of 1) that are behind it and hide the rest.
    As mentioned, you may Direct Select 1) or 2) and edit or move them about relative to the background and each other.

  • Why does the colour change from web browsers to CS5?

    Hi there
    I´m running OSX 10.6.4 on a MacPro 2009, 2x2.26, 16 gb RAM.
    Photoshop CS5 12.0.1.
    When I import photos from the web (Safari or Firefox) to Photoshop, the colour changes drastically.
    The only time the colours stay the same, is if I set the colour management to North American General Purpose 2, but this is a setting
    I can´t use. I need to use my Spyder 3-calibrated RGB profile as RGB work space, and I use Fogra 27 or a specific cover art profile
    for CMYK use.
    I enclose a screenshot of my settings and the problems that occur.
    Can someone help?
    All the best!
    Hakon, Norway

    When I import photos from the web (Safari or Firefox) to Photoshop, the colour changes drastically.
    Most of the photos on the Web will be un-tagged sRGB (if they have a tag, an embedded profile, Photoshop (and color-managed browsers) will pick up the profile and display it properly...).
    The short answer is to open the un-tagged file in in Photoshop> Edit> Assign Profile: sRGB
    You may know, the Mac OS applies its default Monitor profile to untagged color, whereas, Photoshop will apply its default Working RGB if you tell it not to manage the document...if you have a wide-gamut monitor and Assign MonitorRGB to an sRGB file, you get an intense saturation boost especially in the reds (is a clue).
    YOU MAY BE WISE to set something like sRGB as your Photoshop Working RGB with these Color Management Policies (to try and figure out what's going on)...
    MonitorRGB equals Photoshop WorkingRGB (as you are set up there) is a disaster for any number of reasons — Photoshop already displays through the monitor profile so setting its Working Space to your monitor profile is BAD workflow for 99.99 percent of the users who setup that workflow...

  • Spot color from Photoshop to Illustrator

    Man, this used to be not a big deal.  I usually print in CMYK, but I am laying out bz cards that need to be black and pantone 200u, just 2 color.  When I transfer the logo from PS to Illustrator the pantone 200 changes values.  I tried putting it in ID and it changes values there too.  The printer needs it to be pantone 200 and the press will print it that color.  It is a jpeg file.  Do I convert to CMYK or should it still be RGB?  How can I import it into Illustrator and it stay pantone 200.  I'm not sure of the values of the color now because in every application it is different.  Where can I find the values?  Years ago you would give it to the printer in black for spot on different layers and they would handle it.
    hear are my 20 questions...
    how can I import spot from PS to Illustrator
    The values of pantone 200u
    leave rgb or cmyk
    jpeg is this ok or do I need to change it to another format

  • Draging images from photoshop to illustrator

    Hello,
    I am attempting drag images made in photoshop cs5 in illustrator cs5 on a mac. However when I do this any transparent portions of the photoshop image fill with white. Is there any way to keep that from happening?

    As emmysue32 wrote you can also used advanced tiffs or transparrent ftiffs as they are sometimes known which Illustrator CS 4 and later support which also means they be placed perserving thier layers as with .psd files.
    However, at least for Illustrator it is not necessary to check the Preservve Transparency option as long as youy tell the diting application to wrtie layers.

  • Colors change from Photoshop to DVD SP

    So I've been having this problem for a while now.
    My problem is that when I make a layered menu in photoshop and import the PSD into DVD SP the color of the picture is different. It seems to crush blacks and turn more magenta. I've found out that it only does this to PSD files and not JPEG's. I've tried using both maximizing compatibility checked and off .
    Proof colors is off and I'm working in RGB 8-bit. I've looked around but can't find any solution to this.
    Here is a screen shot:

    Left is DVD SP and right is Photoshop.
    Please help!!!!
    Thanks

    don't use the NTSC profile, DVDSP must use the generic profile so Photoshop needs to use that also.
    Okie dokie. But that apparently didn't help:
    Thanks for advice. I changed the color profile. But the images still look different. Here is another
    screen shot after the LCD change. It still seems to be a little magenta and is definitely crushing the
    blacks. Is this expected when using PSDs in DVDSP?
    Changing the color profile of the display does nothing to alter the color space of the source material unless you know how to do that, too; just changes how your display displays the material. Time to evaluate your video using a scope.

  • Why did the look of the toolbar change from Photoshop CS3 to CS4?

    One of the nice visual features for Mac from Photoshop 7 to Photoshop CS3 was the "shiny" look of the toolbar that acquired the Aqua interface.  Now in CS4, the toolbar looks more like the Windows version (more bland).  I know that "how the program looks" does not change the way Photoshop is used, I just thought I'd ask in the forums why they would change the look of the toolbar for Mac that they've had for 7 years.

    Good point.  I will be switching to Mac in the very near future, and one of the things I was looking forward to was the Aqua interface.  Its appearance is so much better than the Windows GUI.  I currently have an HP Pavilion Media Center TV PC desktop from late 2006 with an Intel Core 2 Duo Processor E6300, with only 2GB of RAM and a 320 hard drive.  The graphics card is part of the motherboard.  I am not looking to upgrade to better specs after seeing what's out now.  Today, that would be considered low specs even for a low-priced laptop.  I payed $1400 for it, and I feel I got screwed.  So many cables, an outdated keyboard and mouse, and a cheap-looking monitor made me want to jump to the Mac starting in early 2008.  Thankfully, I waited and a new iMac that's twice as good came out!  I am currently planning to buy the $1699 27-inch iMac as soon as I figure out where I'm putting it and how I'm going to reconfigure everything (I also have a tablet, and it's going in another room so I have to get a desk that has the right setup as well).
    Also, I have a tablet installed on my current computer.  What will I need to do to move it to the Mac?  Will I need to uninstall it from my current computer, or just leave it alone and install it on the Mac?
    One more thing:
    A guy at the Apple Store said I could run Photoshop from Windows on a Mac.  I'm assuming I would have to load the entire Windows OS, right?
    Thanks.

  • Lightroom colours differ from Photoshop Bridge

  • Passing a variable from Photoshop to Illustrator

    Alright, so I've been on here a lot the last couple weeks trying to figure out BridgeTalk, and I am starting to get the hang of it.  I am writing an Illustrator script which will open a specified template and then grab Photoshop's active document and place it on the template.  I have everything working perfectly with one hiccup.  The script goes to Photoshop, grabs the filepath, opens the Illustrator doc, and places the file perfectly.  BUT it always takes two runs through the script for it to work.  It's the weirdest thing.  So if I run the script when PS first opens, it gives me an error; if I run it again it works perfectly, but if I close that PS doc and open a new one, then run the script, it places the previous document! 
    I am stumped and have tried everything I can think of.  Here is a simplified version of the part of the script that produces the error.  The first time I run the script, "alert(psFile)" is completely wrong, but when I run it again it works perfectly. 
    #target illustrator
    var psFile;
    infoFromPS ();
    var illTemp = File("/Users/art1/Desktop/template.ai");
        app.open(illTemp);
    var doc = app.activeDocument;
    function infoFromPS() {
       var bt = new BridgeTalk;
       bt.target = "photoshop";
       bt.body = "app.activeDocument.fullName;"
       bt.onResult = function(resObj) {
          var myResult = resObj.body;
          psFile = File(myResult);
       bt.send();
    alert(psFile);

    this simplified version is so simplified that is not connecting illustrator with photoshop in any way to be able to tell...but in any case, your script is not waiting for the result, it keeps going after you send it, that's why you get an error the first time, then after you get the previous result
    it goes like this the first time
    var psFile; // undefined
    infoFromPS (); // I'm not waiting for bridgeTalk to fetch me the result
    alert(psFile); // psFile is undefined,
    //...bridgeTalk returns the result after you're done
    psFile = 'some file';
    second time, or after you change the ps activeDocument
    var psFile; // I still have in memory the result from previous run ('some file')
    infoFromPS (); // I'm still not waiting for the result
    alert(psFile); // psFile is 'some file' from previous run,
    //...bridgeTalk returns the result after you're done
    psFile = 'some other file';

  • Help with imported eps files from photoshop and illustrator using PANTONE

    I am new to InDesign and running into some very frustrating issues. I am preparing a catalogue for print which was created in Quark XPress previously. I tried converting it initially but had all kinds of strange things happening with type re-wrapping. The printer advised to recreate in InDesign. FIne by me because I'll learn as I go along.
    So I created a page in InDesign and place and eps file created in Illustrator using a spot Pantone color and a halftone created in Photoshop also using the same spot Pantone color. In InDesign the color swatch menu show both colors one as 228 C and the other as 228 C 1. How do I get just one definition for PMS228 coated that works across all three programs? Stuff like this pisses me off. Adobe should have one definition across all three.
    Help!!!

    My best guess for the two definitions is that the CMYK values of the colours do not match, so InDesign treats them separately. You can merge them using the In Manager. Open the Swatches panel and select Ink Manager from the flyout menu. Select PANTONE 228C 1, go to the Ink Alais pop-up menu, and select PANTONE 228. Now InDesign will treat the two colours as one separation on output.
    You should also take the time to open each graphic and resave as a native file. This means .psd for Photoshop and .ai for Illustrator. While there, see if you can make sure the colour names and definitions are consistent.
