Why do colors slightly change when copying from Illustrator to Photoshop?

I want to copy a object from Illustrator and paste it into a Photoshop document with the same color mode and profile.
When I use the Eyedropper Tool on the pasted object in Photoshop the color seems to be slightly off.
Both the Illustrator and the Photoshop document have their Color Mode set to RGB
Both Applications are using synchronized color settings.
This also happens when the object is dragged or Placed. It does not happen when copying from Photoshop to Illustrator.
Could there be a problem with my color management settings? What actually happens to the color information, when it is copied from one application to another?
Thanks for any help.

Why the heck are people still using these nonsensical hexadecimal HTML numbers?
Since some decades we got used to describe RGB values by decimal numbers 0...255.
Both your value sets are practically the same, but how they were converted from one
to the other, that requires an investigation, how Adobe workflows are distributed
between California and Bangalore.

  • Color changes when pasting from Illustrator to Photoshop

    I have set both PS and Illustrator (both latest versions) to "North America Web/Internet".
    Both documents are RGB and have the sRGB IEC61966-1 profile.
    When I copy a square in Illustrator and paste it into PS
    RGB 19,78,110 (the color in Illustrator) changes to RGB 18,78,109.
    It doesn't matter whether I paste it as pixel, smart object or shape layer. The sampled color differs from that in Illustrator.
    Doesn't anyone have a solution to this?
    It's really unnerving when you do web mockups in Illustrator and then copy/paste to PS for image creation.

    This topic is similar to a post today in Mac Photoshop forum. When you copy+paste an Illustrator object with 3D effect from a RGB Illustrator file into an RGB Photoshop document, you get a quite an extreme color de-saturation (looked like a bright blue going dull from RGB to CMYK). Only occurs with active 3D effect. If you Expand Appearance, Flatten Transparency or Rasterize, then the original color is maintained.

  • Macbook pro retina color profile changes when switching from integrated to discrete

    Late 2013 macbook pro retina color profile changes when auto switching from integrated to discrete graphics card. Problem started after updating to 10.9.3

    Same here. Really annoying because I have my screen calibrated for photo editing, which makes it much warmer than the default color profile. A lot of websites cause the graphics cards to switch for a couple of seconds, which causes the profiles to switched back and forth a few times, everytime. Really annoying, and dissapointing to see, considering Apple released like a hundred .3 betas.
    You can use gfxCardStatus to make it stay on one graphics card over the other... Just remember to change it back when you're using a program that actually needs the descrete card.

  • CS4 How to disable anti alias when pasting from Illustrator to Photoshop?

    Hello,
    I'm trying to paste vector artwork from Illustrator into Photoshop but it seems no matter what I do Photoshop anti aliases the illustration. Is there a way to keep this from happening?
    The whole point of making the art in Illustrator was to keep the edges clean and the colors limited.
    Your suggestions are much appreciated.

    In Illustator >> Object >> Rasterize >> Anti-aliasing>> None
    Copy and paste this into Photoshop.
    Or
    Illustrator >> File >> Export >> psd >>turn off anti alias

  • Font changes when copied from PDF to Word Docuemt

    Hi ,
    I have created a form which has text fields and static text and font style is Arial "10".In the preview i could see Someother fonts instead of Arial "10".
    When i copied the text from PDF to Word document it is showing "Calibri (Body)" or "Myriad Pro". I need same font when i preview the form as well as when i copied from PDF to word.
    I have created Custom component with Arial "10" even though in the preview i could see someother font.
    What could be the reason ..
    Thanks In advance.

    I can't think of why Acrobat/Reader wouldn't be displaying Arial. Try saving the form as pdf with Fonts Embedded in your Designer preferences.

  • White space in image when copying from Indesign to Photoshop

    Hopefully this is in the correct place for this question.
    Am using Indesign CS4 (windows, XP) and have created a bounding box to place image and text into for layout. Then I select it all and copy to Photoshop for exporting for the web. I would do the lot in Photoshop but Indesign's better for layout. Anyway, I have the correct size image and all but when I copy to Photoshop I get a 1 pixel white line at the top.
    The bounding box in Indesign has no stroke or fill so I can't see where this 1 pixel white line is coming from. Tis very annoying. Anyone got any ideas as to why?

    Thanks for your answer but I'm trying to make this as simple as possible for others who may have to do this task. I ended up putting a 1 pixel line around the outside of the image. It covers up the white line at the top and it fits in with the webpage design too.

  • Why is picture size smaller when going from RAW to Photoshop

    My computer went down recently and i had to reload Photoshop CS2 ver 9 and I had to download Camera Raw plug in Ver. 3.7. Now when I
    process a Raw file which is normaly a 54x36 inch image I now am getting a 16.2x10.8 image. I cannot find why it is reducing the file size. Any ideas?????   Help
    Thanks
    Don Spears

    The "size" of an image is a combination of it's dimensions and it's resolution. While the dimensions can change, the odds are your resolution has been changed as well. The larger dimension is prolly at 72 PPI (pixel pre inch) and the smaller dimension is prolly more like 300 PPI. Camera Raw has the ability to change that as well as altering the pixel dimensions, check to see what the PPI of your second image is. If it's more like 300PPI then you just have a different ratio. If it's 72 PPI then you've done something to downsample the image.

  • Why do Certain fonts change when I convert to PDF from Microsoft word?  They start out 60s chic and end up as a standard font.

    Why do some fonts change when converted from Microsoft word to PDF?  It starts out as 60s chic and changes to standard font.

    Related to the question, I suspect you have licensed fonts that cannot be embedded. Thus, the PDF is using what it is finding to be an equivalent as well as it can guess. Did you check the font list in the PDF?

  • Why do vector objects copied from illustrator cc don't stay the same dimensions when pasted into pho

    I think the problem started with the last updates. The normal work flow of copy and paste no longer functions correctly.
    Photshop is changing the dimensions of vector artwork copied from illustrator, and pasted to photoshop.
    If I start with a 6in x 6in vector shape in illustrator, and select copy, I should be able to go into photoshop, select file and then new,
    and the document should automaticly get the dimensions from the clipboard. For some reason that 6in x 6in opens a 0.6in x 0.6in document.
    Even if i manually change the document to 6in x 6in, anything else I copy from illustrator larger than 6in x 6in gets its dimensions changed to fit inside the document. I cant copy and paste a 10in x 2in vector into the 6in x 6in document without photoshop changing the dimensions
    so it fits inside the document. Any ideas on how to fix? Thanks.

    illustrator has no dpi, that info wont copy to the clip board. There are setting within illustrator you can set so when you do raster something in illustrator, you can pick what dpi it will raster it to. But even if you raster something in illustrator, the dpi info doesn't copy to the clipboard.
    The Photoshop: File, New, opens a window with the default set to pixels and 72ppi. When you have something stored on the clipboard, First you change the pixels to inches, cm, mm, anything but pixels, the dimensions stay locked in and Then you can change the ppi to anything you want.
    The issue once the file is opened, and you try to copy and paste in something larger than the canvas still needs corrected. I have found a quick work around. After you paste it, before you select ok or hit enter, look at the info where it displays the % of the size of what's being placed.
    It shows it at less than 100%, so change it to 100% (and constrain) and its back to original size.

  • P55GD80 slowdown when copying from DVD SATA drive.

    I had an issue with my system becoming unresponsive after copying files from a DVD drive to my secondary data drive. I have the specs below:
    P55GD80 (Bios 1.5)
    Core i7-860
    Intel X-25M 80GB SSD (Boot Drive)
    Seagate 7200.10 320GB (Data Drive)
    DVD-ROM
    DVD-RW
    4 GB Gskill memory
    Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit.
    My initial setup had all of the drives on the Intel SATA 1-6 connections. I first noticed an issue when copying files from either of the DVD drives to my secondary data drive. My whole system would slow to a crawl. After many different combinations, I found the best performance by moving my secondary data drive to the SATA 7/8 Jmicron controller. It does not make sense why I needed to do this. Any ideas? I did not notice an issue when copying from the SSD to the data drive, but then again, I rarely do that.
    Do I need to enable AHCI for the Intel controller? If so, how do I do that. When I went into the BIOS there only seemed to be an option for this for the Jmicron controller. When I enabled this, the system suddenly did not see any other drive besides the one connected to the Sata 7/8.
    Also, why when I hook up the two DVD drives to SATA 7/8 (JMicron) will the BIOS see both drives, but Windows 7 sees only 1? Does JMicron only operate in RAID?

    Thanks guys, I figured it out. I had two problems really. When I went to turn on AHCI the first time, I already had my secondary data drive connected to the SATA 7/8 port, which messed everything up and made me think I wasn't turning AHCI on for the right controller. Turns out I was, but I had to move all of my drives back to the Intel SATA 1 through 6 ports. Once I did that, everything was detected properly, but then my second problem was needing that registry key change which I had no idea was necessary. I would like to think I am pretty technical, but I am obviously a noob to system building since I had never heard of AHCI.

  • Error message when copying from Acrobat Reader

    Error message when copying from Acrobat Reader - any file,  any time (Win 7, Adobe many versions until recent).
    Copy works, but causes a needless and useless error message that has to be clicked away every time.
    This problem is published on the web for a million times without a working solution. And even in the Adobe forum no qualified answer (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/441370)

  • Font changes when copy and paste url (Safari to Mail)

    When copy from iphone 5 (vs 7.1.2-& no I don't want to update yet ) Safari, a URL/web address and paste into MAIL app, the font changes and won't paste in the same format as the email I've been typing. Is there any way to correct this? Also, anything I type after the paste keeps that same "other" format, when I want what I had started email in to stay the same.
    I tho't I"d look at some settings and under iphone Accessibiilty I have Larger Text ON and Bold Text chosen, and Reduce Motion ON. Under GENERAL and TEXT SIZE I have it set to 4th choice up. I don't see any MAIL settings re FONT. Would any of these be the cause?

    OK, I think I found another way to describe my issue:
    When I copy text from a webpage in Safari, some form of "meta-information", or formatting data, is kept, and when I paste into MS Word, the formatting from the webpage is retained. In my default setup of Firefox, this formatting meta-information is not retained, it only copies the plain-text.
    So my question is actualy: How do I prevent Safari from retaining formatting data, and only copy the plain-text?
    I have been testing some clipboard managers, and have yet to find one that will auto-filter out formatting data from text that I copy, but they can after interaction.
    The other, current, method I have been using is to:
    1. select and copy the text in Safari
    2. paste text into notepad
    3. select and copy text from notepad
    4. paste de-formatted text into MS Word
    Or in Firefox:
    1. select and copy the text in Firefox
    2. paste text into MS Word (no formatting retained)

  • Does OS X corrupt files when copying from SD card to desktop?

    Using finder to copy a folder and its files from SD card to mac desktop seems to cause *some* files to be corrupted, specifically a handful of MP4 files from a FAT32 SD card  which was used in a digital camera. Using a binary/hex comparison tool reveals that some segments of the files contents were modified when copied from the SD card. 
    This error occurs when copying multiple files using Finder windows.  However, when copying the same files one at a time, the corruption does not occur.  This appears to be an OS level bug.  In reviewing past content, I found that dozens of MP4 files have been corrupted in the past 4 months by merely copying the files from the SD card to mac desktop using Finder copy/paste.
    I am using OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.3

    Well, like I said, the byte size in fact did *not* change.  So I'm not even concerned about that.  What *did* change is the content of those bytes and it doesn't matter what operating system you are using, the content of those bytes is *not* supposed to change.
    Also, like I said before, if I copy the individual file (MP4) insead of the entire folder, and then do the binary/hex comparison, the byte data is identical. i.e.
    a) copying one file at a time produces an *identical* file on the HD, i.e. the byte count AND the byte content are precisely the same.
    b) copying a folder with multiple files produces a *different* file on the HD, i.e. the byte count is the same BUT the byte content differs from the original file.
