AI color variation between documents

I am struggling with color variation between different documents in AI. Even when both documents have been assigned the Adobe 1998 RGB color space, and colors are identically called out in RGB, my output varies between the documents. This is difficult as when I do color management is a "swatch" document to get my client approval, then insert that color into a different document, it changes. Any input?
Thanks

HI,
We are using the Latest CC version on the latest MAC OS. We use a third party RIP to drive our digital printing working in the RGB space.
It just appears the color space gets duller or more vibrant depending on which "setting" is embedded at the creation of the document- which seems to be the same for all docs - Adobe RGB 1998, yet is not yielding consistent results from file to file.

  • Color variations between AI CS2 and Photoshop

    I'm new here and really don't know technical terms for what I'm trying to explain, so please forgive the gibberish.  I have an Illustrator CS2 file that someone is printing for me using Photoshop.  When he opens the file the colors I selected in Illustrator all change slightly and look much duller when printed.
    Is there a way to maintain color accuracy between the two applications?  If so, how would I go about changing the colors in my existing artwork?  Thank you!

    Thank you for all your feedback.
    Here are the scopes. All I'm doing to get the change is sending it to AE. No changes elsewhere. Just that simple send to AE and it starts playing with the colours.
    I have also noticed that when I reload my projects a lot of the time I have to re-render the entire film. I did update the Adobe software when it became available.

  • Color variation between two identical illustrator documents???

    I am trying to copy an object from one Illustrator document into another Illustrator document but it keeps changing the color and adding a small stroke around the object.  I can seem to figure out why it would be doing this????  I have check the color modes on both and they are both in CMYK.
    Any thoughts???

    Have you measured the colour?
    Do you get different readings or is it just a a contrast thing? (The "stroke" might be just an anti-aliasing artifact.)
    Sometimes your eyes can fool you.
    In this example the little grey inside squares are exactly the same colour but your eyes tell you that the left hand one is blueish and the right hand one is yellowish.

  • Why color variation between Adobe Pro 9.0 and Reader 9.0 when printing

    We recently had Adobe Pro 9.0 installed.  We've noticed that we are getting different color shades when printing from Professional versus Reader 9.0.  Actually, the Reader is printing more of what we want.  We had one document that had a background that the Reader picked up better and we also had another with a solid blue and the Reader printed that better as well.  We are printing to a Xerox 7665 color copier.  Wondering if there is a setting or something that we should try??  Thanks!

    frstrsystemI make a fix, here it is:
    1) I launch acropro 9 on the server, I go to the view->toolbars->tasks menu to  the "tasks" toolbar (which cause the crash).
    2) on the server, run regedit and go to current user\software\adobe\adobe acrobat\9.0 and export this hive on a file like acrobat9_user.reg
    3) create a acro9pro.cmd file with
    regedit /S n:\scripts\acrobat9pro_user.reg
    @start "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\" Acrobat.exe
    save this file on the server
    publish your app and call the CMD instead of the acrobat file
    trick; you can map drive into the cmd so that user can access network shares and not only the server on.

  • Why does the frame color change to black when I copy and paste between documents?

    Copying and pasting between documents in Indesign. The color of the text stays the same but the lines and frames change from a specified color to black. Also changes when I drag and drop can anyone tell me how to fix this?

    You have not provided any exact information like what version of ID, system info, paragraph styles, color definitions and whatnot, so we can't know what is going on. either way, ask in the ID forum and provide all those important details.

  • Color variation introduced somewhere between AfterEffects-Quicktime-Flash-Dreamweaver

    http://www.scbadasscoffee.com
    Please note the subtle difference between the background
    color of the web page (CD9933) and the background of the Flash
    animation.
    I created the original in AE Pro...took it into
    Quicktime...exported it to a smaller file size MOV file...then
    sucked it into FLASH and saved it as a movie...which you see on the
    link above.
    Can anyone give me a hint as to where the color variation was
    introduced?
    Thanks, it isn't obvious to me (a beginner)
    --bill

    I have more results after further testing. 
    Running OS X 10.8.4
    AE 10.5.0.253
    K5000 GPU
    My AE project is setup as a 16bpc, HDTV (rec709), Blend Colors Using 1.0 Gamma, Match Legacy After Effects QuickTime Gamma Adjustments, Compensate for Scene-referred Profiles.
    I import a FCP 7 generated QT ProRes4444 file.  The file is rendered as YUV Full Precision with Super-Whites.  In an attempt to round trip the file, I rendered the singular file with no effects back out as a ProRes4444 file with rec709, sRGB or Preserve RGB color profiles.  Once imported back into AE, each of these 3 files matches the original identically.  Quite well actually, even when I turn on difference mode and crank the gamma, they hold up really well.  Nothing perceptually different here.
    NOW, when I render out as DPX, EXR or TIFF, I get a completely different result.  EACH image sequence imports identically, so DPX matches EXR matches TIFF.  BUT they are all identically different than the original.  Once again there is a color shift.  NOT a gamma shift, a HUE shift.
    I am rendering each file as a rec709 and importing as a rec709. 
    What gives?
    Here is the kicker, when I switch to my windows box (WIN7 SP1), then open my AEP file.  The colors match identically across all files & formats!!!  I literally set my OS X AE comp to solo 2 layers on difference mode.  There is a clear difference.  When I open the same file within WIN7, pure BLACK.  NO DIFFERENCE.  Holy crap this is alarming.  Side note, still have the hue shift within NUKE across platforms but it is consistent.
    WIN7 64bit SP1
    AE 10.5.0.253
    GTX680 GPU
    I am not going to blame Adobe, since I am almost certain this is an APPLE issue.  I would like to ask the Adobe AE Team, what value is AE reading that Nuke is not?  Is there different QT importers?
    Thanks,
    Matt

  • JPEG color difference between Adobe Raw and Microsoft Image Viewer

    When I calibrate my monitor or use the monitors ICC file which came with the Monitor, there is a color difference between Camera Raw image and the JPEG I save from Camera Raw, displayed in Microsoft Image Viewer.
    However, if I make my ICC file for the system to be SRGB Color Space Profile, and go through the same conversion, the JPEG image created and viewed in Microsoft Image viewer is identical to the one seen in Camera Raw.
    It appears therefore, that the operating system only uses SRGB Color Space profile for Microsoft Imaging Viewer?
    Most people I give photos to, do in fact look at them in microsoft viewer.
    How can I use the ICC profile for my calibrated monitor and end up with the same results in terms of color with Camera Raw and Microsoft image and Fax Viewer.

    All profiles are not created equal.  There's a basic version issue (ICC v4 vs. earlier), and profiles are complex things containing many fields.  Lots of things can go wrong in the creation of a proper color transform from the combination of the document and device profiles, and it kind of depends on what color management code the software uses whether it can be done properly.  Adobe has their own - the Adobe Color Engine - and there are others such as LittleCMS or even Microsoft's system-provided ICM that application designers may be using in their code.
    It may be that the profile your calibrator/profiler has produced for your monitor (or other device) isn't compatible with every application.  It happens.
    This isn't intended to provide a solution or workaround, just to help explain things a bit.

  • Color variations from Adobe Illustrator CS5 to Acrobat 9 (PDF)

    I'm a new designer who is trying to solve issues of color variations when I create a PDF file from Illustrator CS5. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to ensure that the colors match from application to application? Do I need to select certain settings for RGB, CYMK, or other color libraries (i.e., Pantone)? Thanks for the help!

    If you are creating your PDF using Save As > PDF or Print > PDF; your selections in Illustrator's Color Settings should go with the file.  However, it could also be the settings you choose when you create the PDF.  I use Distiller where I can use the same settings from Illustrator and have them embedded in the PDF when distilled.  The key being that settings match when you create the PDF.

  • What is the difference between document class and normal class

    Hi,
    Please let me know what is the difference between document class and normal class.
    And I have no idea which class should call as document class or call as an object.
    Thanks
    -Actionscript Developer

    the document class is invoked immediately when your swf opens.  the document class must subclass the sprite or movieclip class.
    all other classes are invoked explicitly with code and need not subclass any other class.

  • What can I use instead of color variations in Elements 12?

    I had a copy of Elements 6 for many years. The feature I used most often was color variations. Unfortunately, I was unable to install my copy on my new computer, and I figured it was time to upgrade to the latest version anyway. Image my surprise when I discovered there was no feature called Color Variations in this version. I'm floored. Most of what I do in Elements doesn't have to do with photography; I am scanning book covers and must have the colors display accurately. I have not yet figured out what to use instead. All help appreciated.

    If you are on WINDOWS, you can put Color Variations into PSEv.12. See here:
    Pse12 color variation function removed - Elements Village
    Hopefully, you still have access to PSEv.6.

  • Why does Photoshop Creative Cloud does not have "color variation" feature? How do I get it?

    I downloaded a free trial version of Photoshop Creative Cloud. It doesn't have the "color variation" option in this photoshop CC. I don't think it has anything to do with the fact that it is a free trial. But, How could I obtain the feature? Thanks.

    Hi,
    What operating system are you using?
    On the windows version it should be Image>Adjustments>Variations
    The mac version doesn't have the variations plugin.

  • Spot Color mismatches between EPS and PDF files

    Recently I created a file in Illustrator CS6 with several Pantone color swatches. I used the CMYK color mode set to the Coated GRACoL 2006 color space. I saved the file as an EPS and we printed our test samples on our large format printer. After reviewing the print I saw the colors were off. The grey color showed up green.I then opened up the exact same EPS file and simply saved it as a PDF. We ran the PDF on the same printer, using the same material and profile and the color was completely different. This time the grey colors came out grey (correctly). We tested this twice and came up witht he same color differences between the EPS files and the PDF files. Why would an Illustrator file produce 2 different colors if saved as a PDF versus an EPS?
    Also, I sent these files to another prepress person in our company and he printed them on our proofing printer. The EPS printed slightly differently than the PDF. He then opened the PDF file in Acrobat and saved it out of Acrobat as an EPS. After this, he printed the new EPS file created from Acrobat and it printed the exact same as the PDF file (correctly).
    This leads me to believe that the problem is in the way Illustrator saves EPS files. Has anyone else seen this problem?
    Thanks for any and all help with this very perplexing issue.

    I will speak from CS3.
    The current PDF format if 1.7 exported out of Photoshop supports vector elements as independent objects, but you can't edit them correctly out of Acrobat because Photoshop reads the data as a flat file and drops the vector data. Basically the workflow is not finished being developed. Also, Transparency is broken within the PDF file format at this time. It will support Spots though correctly.
    PSD and TIF support Transparency and Spots, but vector objects are rasterized due Acrobat reading the flat version of the file.
    When Photoshop wrote its own PDF format and not the corporate PDF flavor that we now have, PDF's would support Transparency correctly.
    I would assume that Transparency and vector objects would be addressed in the next release, but that is to be seen.
    There is no best practice except don't do it.
