Add web colors as swatches

I'm working in Freehand 11 and I would like to add a web
color (#b0d3d7) to my swatches palette. When I add it as an RGB
color, it is slightly off. And if I go to the paint bucket color in
my tools palette, it won't allow me to type in the 6-digit web
color. Is there something I'm missing? It seems like it would be
pretty simple.

Yes, and if it seems "off" it's not because it is wrong it's
just
because you are looking at FH's color managed or non-color
managed
interpretation/version of that color. Illustrator would show
you yet
another version. Move to another computer and you might see
even
another version. There is not such thing as a "Correct"
onscreen color.

  • How do I add PMS colors to swatches pallette

    I cannot for the life of me figure out how to add PMS colors to the swatches pallette? I'm running Win2000. Illustrator 10.
    Thanks.

    Terri Jo,
    First off, each document has its own Swatches palette (also its own Symbol, Brush and Styles palettes.) So when you say "the" Swatches palette, it is not clear whether you are asking how to add Pantone colors to the Swatches palette belonging to the current document, or whether you are asking how to add Pantone colors to the Swatches palette that gets installed in new blank documents.
    To do the former, you just open one of the Pantone Swatch libraries (from the Window menu), have a document open, and click on any Pantone swatch that you want to add to the Swatches palette of the current top open document. To add multiple swatches you can also shift-click to select a range of them, then use the Add to Swatches command on the library's palette menu.
    To do the latter, you open as a regular document the Adobe Illustrator Startup_CMYK or Startup_RGB documents located in the Plug-ins folder. Then you do the same steps as above to copy swatches from the Pantone libraries to the startup document's Swatches palette. Then you save the startup document, and restart Illustrator.
    The contents of all the palettes in the startup documents are copied into any new blank document that you create for that color mode. Since palette contents take up room in each file, just like regular art does, as long as you have the startup document open for editing you may want to take the opportunity to make your new files smaller, by removing from your startup documents any brushes, symbols or patterns that you never expect to use.
    And finally, if what you want to do is set up a swatch library palette that contains your favorite Pantone colors, and which is available for
    all documents, whether new blank ones or existing documents that were created earlier by yourself or even sent to you by someone else, what you should do is make a new blank document, install your favorite Pantone colors into it, and save that document with a name of your choice (like "Favorite PMS colors") in the Presets/Swatches folder. Then quit Illustrator, restart, open that document from the Swatch Libraries menu, and check the Persistent option in the library's palette menu. The Persistent option means that the library gets automatically loaded when you startup Illustrator. (Any random .ai document saved anywhere can be loaded as a library palette using the Other Library... command, but only documents that were located in the appropriate Presets folder when Illustrator was started will appear on the pullout menu and have a Persistent checkbox.)

  • CS5 save for web color change problem

    Hi Forum
    I've just started using PS CS5 on a new iMac, and I'm having some problems with save for web colors.  If I save an image (for example a shape with a solid color) then add it to a site I'm making then test in Safari, then take a screenshot with Grab, then open again in Photoshop, test the screenshot color with the eyedropper, the color value is slightly different to the original Photoshop file.
    Previously in CS3, I had the color settings RGB workspace set to Monitor RGB display, and view > proof setup > Monitor RGB.  Then when saving for web I made sure convert to sRGB was unchecked.  This always worked and would give me the exact same colors in the browser as Photoshop.
    I have tried the same settings now is CS5, plus a few other variations (like using view >proof setup > internet standard RGB) but it is just not working.
    Does anyone know the correct setup to save for web in CS5 and get the same original colors?
    I'm saving them as jpegs.
    I hope someone can help with this.  Thanks in advance

    I'm really confused about this now.  My display profile in OSX settings is set to iMac.  I have some specific questions:
    - What should my color settings be in Photoshop?
    - What should the proof setup be set to?
    - What color profile should my documents be set to?
    - What are the correct options to select when I save to web?
    I just want to able to save a jpeg image for web, and get the exact same colors as my original Photoshop file.  Please help!

  • Specific web color in gif after converstion?

    I'm adding areas to photos that I want to match the background color of my web page.  How can I make those areas exactly what I want?

    Because it is a gif, it is indexed color and it won't let me add that color.  If I change it to RGB, I can add the color and it saves as a PNG, which is a larger file size.  Can I add the color to the palette before I convert, then it will be available?

  • How do I add web part in the event receiver after the site is provisioned in SP 2010?

    How do I add web part in the event receiver after the site is provisioned in SP 2010?

    You try the below steps:
    1. Use long operation to provision the site, so that it does not time out in process.
    2. After provisioning, you can add a page or add the web part directly to landing page of site.
    For each of the above steps you can find the sample code pieces.
    if you couldn't get that, let me know. I will share with you.

  • Adobe Muse (2014.3) "Add Web Font" Function Not Working As Expected - Newly Added Fonts Become Unavailable Though Shown

    Hello.
    This has also been posted in the Community: Adobe Muse Bugs forum.
    I've been having some odd/irregular issues though they have now become fairly predictable in nature. The issue is in regards to Adobe Muse (2014.3) and the availability of web fonts provided through the applications "Add Web Fonts" feature. Once added they perform as expected but then become "unavailable." Full details below. I have been a Creative Cloud Complete subscriber for a number of years so am fairly familiar with the way in which the system works minus a few issues that have popped up now and then, this one included.
    System Info:
    Adobe Creative Cloud (Full Subscription): Version 1.9.1.474
    Adobe Muse: Version 2014.3
    OS X Yosemite: 10.10.2
    Here is a recap of what has been taking place. I'll detail the bug as best I can.
    1. Created new Adobe Muse project. Everything normal.
    2. Chose to add a new font through the "Add Web Fonts" function within Muse. A note, my Creative Cloud App is running/open at all times (in file synch mode).
    3. Chose new fonts using above. All seemed fine (see screenshots below).
    4. Fonts also were indicated as being "Synched" within Creative Cloud (screenshot below).
    5. As expected the two fonts were added to the list of available Web Fonts within Muse (first screenshot below - left). I added them successfully to my site. Well after a number of hours I went back to this same font selection menu within Muse and the fonts were still visible yet the sub-menu that one would expect showing various forms (i.e. Bold, Italic, etc) was not available. In a sense the font could not be chosen from the list even though the name is clearly visible (second screenshot below - right).
    Have no idea what may have been wrong. Saved Muse project, closed and reopened - nothing changed. Created new project - fonts still "shown" in menu but can't be used. Did find a vague description using Google of similar problem (different application) which recommended closing Creative Cloud Desktop App and reopening as one possible solution. This DID WORK initially yet the problem, though corrected for a period of time (few hours at most), would reappear again where one would again see yet not be able to choose from the two Web Fonts. Went so far as to uninstalling the Creative Cloud Desktop application and reinstalling. Still have not solved the problem.
    Any thoughts as to what this may be would be welcome. Restarting the CC app each and every time the fonts become unavailable is quite time consuming to my workflow.
    Thanks!

    Abhishek,
    Thank you for the reply. Wanted to comment on a few things.
    I reviewed the other post that you've referenced. Nothing unusual jumped out at me as something that I was not aware of. I'm running an older iMac that is in good working condition. 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 24" screen. I know this issue is fleeting, as I stated earlier typically can be corrected with a restart of the CC Desktop application (that I am always running at startup). I have not been able to determine that shutting down Muse corrects the issue. I would, at this time say it doesn't.
    I did open InDesign and see if the fonts in question, Open Sans and Open Sans Condensed, were present and usable. They were. The fonts are shown as being synched in my CC Desktop app window (even if they are not "installed" in Muse). That is expected but it may be a bug in how Muse brings in a font from those that are already synched to your CC account. I don't know enough about how that works to comment.
    And just to complicate matters, Muse seems to be working again, the fonts that is. I brought them back in and they are showing up in all locations (which there are actually three - see screen shots).
    First is primary text menu dropdown (to right of orange "Text").
    Second is if you click orange Text link. Another drop down menu appears.
    And lastly, the Text Panel to right of screen.
    I also wanted to add this extra bit of information, for what it is worth. When the issue arises and you do not get the sub-menu dropdown showing various styles of the font (italics, bold, etc.), one can use click on the missing font if you had used it previously and it is present in the "previously used font" list.
    Cheers!

  • How can I add a color bar scale to a CW3DGraph

    I am using the CW3Dgraph control (parametric surface plot) in a LabVIEW program I have written to graph the the strength of an electromagnetic field over a sphere.  The plot color map style is set to use the "color spectrum".  I would like to add a color bar scale to the graph so the user can determine the approximate field strength by the color of the plot.  Is there an example that could help me with this, does anyone know how to add a color bar scale, or is there some other way to indicate to the user the color's level?

    I think if you search this forum you will find more than one approach to this quest.In this thread you will find an earlier discusion of the same nature that has a couple of methods you can try out.

  • Is there a way to save an image file as a jpeg and add -web or -print to the file name?

    I am trying to find a way to save my image file as a jpeg and add -web or -print to the existing file name.  This way I can easily see which files are lower resolution for web posting or high resolution for printing.

    Jason,
    I helped somebody do a very similar thing about a week ago.
    The trick is to use the Batch command's ability to construct a file name.
    Tell the batch to append, e.g. "-x" without quotes, to the name of each saved file.
    The batch runs an Action which does a save as JPEG, resize image, add logo, save as JPEG, then close document.
    The output is "<document name>-x.jpg" and "<document name>-x-x.jpeg".
    Then use Windows Explorer to rename "*-x-x.jpg" to "*-print.jpg".
    Then rename "*-x.jpg" to "*-web.jpg".
    See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1038992?start=32
    The name construction that I used there was just an "x" appended to the document name. Use whatever you like. Also juliew subsequently referred to the method as a "double-batch" run, although it is not. One run of the batch will output two JPEGs for each input document.
    I hope the disagreements in that thread don't cause too much disruption.
    If you want, the Batch command itself can be recorded in another Action which would store the parameters of the batch, then you could run that Action anytime without having to set up the details of the batch each time. It would always output to one specific folder, though.

  • My Illustrator does not allow me to change colors using swatches panel. Help pleas.

    Few days ago I started having strange problems with my Illustrator CS5 application. I am using MacBook Pro with Intel Processor.  After major update on the Mac OS  few days ago  I noticed I can not change colors in my drawings using swatches panel. The function on my Illustrator CS5 stopped working.  When I select object and try to change its fill or stroke color using fill and stroke from the options bar above work space,  none of the swatches would work.  The are there how ever nothing hapends when I select them, the color remains the same.The same thing happens if I try to use the swatch panel, I select the object then I try to select new color from swatch but the fill or stroke does not change. I can only change color on my drawings using the color panel but that is not useful for me since I need to get precise colors using approved color swatches ether from pantone library or approved by client.
    The other strange thing is my selection tool does not deselect when I click outside on or of the artboard, the object remains selected until I reselect another object or use the keyboard short cut to deselect it.
    I have tried various options to resolve the issue from deleting and reseting preference to completely uninstalling and  reinstalling Illustrator CS5. I even installed back my old CS4 version because I had to complete a project  and the same issue is happens there as well. I also reset the application using Time Machine from few months ago when it was working correctly. What happens when I reset or reinstall the app, it works for  about 10 min correctly as it should and and then it reverts to the same problem. I am out of options and do not know what else I could  do to fix this. Right now I am working on my old Mac tower G5 and CS4 where everything works as it is suppose to, but I really need to get this fixed. Can any one help or has solution for my problem? Please.

  • Save for web color shift - only on images smaller than 150x150px

    I'm getting a color shift only on small images (150x150px or smaller) when I save for web in Photoshop CC and CS6. That's very weird as it doesn't happen to images larger than 150x150px! That issue happens with images with different measurements as well (e.g. rectangle), the small looks dull and the larger display the right color.
    My Color Settings are set to "Monitor Color". Under save for web I have the following options not ticked: Embed Color Profile and Convert to sRGB. (viget.com/inspire/the-mysterious-save-for-web-color-shift)
    I'm running the OS X 10.8.4 on a macbook pro, I tested that on both, Safari 6.0.5 and FF.
    The squares in the screenshot were saved exatly the same way. The largerer displays the right color #FFCB32, but the smaller displays the color wrong.
    I appreciate your help.

  • Pantone Plus Color Bridge Swatches don't match

    Hi
    I have used a Pantone Plus Color Bridge swatch (specifically Pantone 115 CP - yellow) in my inDesign CC 2014 project.
    I have an illustrator .eps file, created in Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 placed in the document. I have used the same Pantone Plus Color Bridge swatch in the .eps file.
    When printed there is a VERY noticeable difference between the yellow swatch in the inDesign document and the Illustrator placed graphic.
    It looks "correct" in the Illustrator placed graphic, i.e. it matches the swatch book but where the swatch has been used in inDesign, it seems to have shifted to an almost green hue.
    Could anyone explain why this might have happened?
    Thanks

    In your bottom capture the 187 swatch is from the the legacy Pantone library where solid color swatches were defined as CMYK. Here I'ved saved the old pre CS6 coated library and 187 is defined as a spot color but with CMYK values:
    Starting with CS6 the solid swatches are Lab definitions and if you chose to convert them to process CMYK, the conversion is color managed Lab to CMYK and the results will depend on your document's CMYK profile and not a Pantone set value. If you select the swatch and look at the Color panel you can see the definition is Lab and the type is Spot:
    If you don't want a color managed conversion for CMYK simulations use Pantone + Color Bridge, those swatches are defined as CMYK and the Type is Process

  • Is there a way to allow contributor users to add web parts to a page without granting them "Add and Customize Pages" permission?

    I am working on an enterprise wiki site collection, and when contributor users try to add web parts they will get the following error:-
    A Web Part or Web Form Control on this Page cannot be displayed or imported. You don't have Add and Customize Pages permissions required to perform this action.
    So I granted the Contribute Permission level an extra permission which is “Add and Customize Pages”. Now contributors will be able to add/edit/delete
    web parts. But they will have extra permissions that I do not want them to have , such as changing the design and customize some page layouts, also they can access the site settings and create site columns !!.
    So my question is basically if there is another way to allow users with contribute permission to be able to add web parts without granting any extra permission. In other words to treat adding web parts as normal content such as image, Text ,tables ?
    Thanks

    I dont think so.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc288074%28v=office.14%29.aspx
    Add and Customize Pages
    Add, change, or delete HTML pages or Web Part pages, and edit the Web site by using a Windows SharePoint Services-compatible editor.
    View Items, Browse Directories, View Pages, Open
    Design, Full Control 
    If this helped you resolve your issue, please mark it Answered. You can reach me through http://freeit-support.com/
    so there are not any workarounds or any custom settings which i can use to implement any of these:-
    - To force Contributor users to add web parts without granting them "Add and Customize Pages"
    - If i grant them "Add and customize Pages" permission, to stop the ability to access the site settings ?
    Please can any one advice on this , as it is causing a lot of confusion,,, and i can not live with the face that Contributor users can access and modify site settings. the other approach will be is that i will stop using web parts. but one of our main reasons
    we decide to use SharePoint is the ability to add web parts, especially the Visio & Excel web access web. thanks in advance for any advice ..

    It sounds like you're trying to add a ColorSync Profile to your Mac.  I found a few resources that may help.
    First, I recommend reviewing the following article:

    The note in step 6 from that article is particularly useful for your situation:
    Note: You may need to make some of these folders if they do not exist.
    Also, the user Library in Mountain Lion is hidden, so you will need to follow these steps to get to "~/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/":
