AI CS5 won't keep my color setting!

I'm creating a document with this background color #3399ff, and this color font #b4fff8. Neither of which sticks.They change slightly as soon as I close the color picker box. Any ideas what I need to check??

f8saysso,
Are you working in File>Color Mode>CMYK Color?
That would make your values slide.
If you change to RGB they will stick.

  • ID CS5 won't keep open. Started yesterday.

    Hi!
    I tried everything on other tread (renaming SING, erasing "indesign saved data" - defaults I dont have it) and nothing worked...
    Until yesterday, everything was running fine. Today it got screwed...
    My  startup ID CS5 apears all the way to the end, program loads on screen  for a few seconds, I can see the welcome screen (that one to choose if I  want to open a recent file, create a noe one, etc) but this screen is  empty, them the program closes itself, no messages, nothing.
    Any help?
    Is there an issue with AVG (I just updated to the new version, grrrr..) I tried to disable it, but didnt work.
    thanks!
    UPDATE:  Some INDD files I can open, by double-clicking it. It loads fine, but  right after I see a popup screen, asking me if I want to save the file  before closing it. If I click yes or no, Indesign closes. there is no  way to edit the file or whatever.
    I cant find the crash reporter app.
    Im running win 7.
    I don't know wich version of ID CS5 I have, since I cant load it to check.

    Under Mac OS X, when you launch InDesign, it runs the Crash Reporter as a background process (/Applications/Adobe InDesign CS5/Adobe InDesign CS5.app/Contents/Frameworks/AdobeCrashReporter.framework/Versions/A/Resources/AdobeCrashD aemon.app). If InDesign crashes, then first the OS pops up a Window inviting you to report the crash to Apple:
    Then about 30 seconds later, the Adobe Crash Reporter pops up:
    The OS logs the crash reports to ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter in the home directory of the user who was running the program that crashed. Adobe's crash reports get annotated with the problem description you fill in and those are also saved (2nd copy) in ~/Library/Logs/Adobe/LogTransport/Archive/Adobe InDesign CS5/7040/ (adjust for version as appropriate).
    It seems weird to me that Adobe wouldn't do something similar under Windows, since there seems to be a lot of talk about how they want to see crash reports from users. On the other hand, I understand that Microsoft has a fancy system that lets vendors access Microsoft's crash database for their own software, so maybe it is easier for Adobe to leverage Microsoft's crash infrastructure than to do so for Apple's. On the gripping hand, the ability for the user to provide context in the crash report (and an email address) can be very useful, and it's really helpful for some kinds of users (me!) to be able to see the crash report itself and get a clue of why the crash happened. And I'm outta hands :-).

  • Color setting in CS5

    What should I set my color setting to...Europe General Purchase 3? My other computer has North American General Purpose 2 but I can't find it on the first computer? tired I guess. Should I be in SRGB or RGB. I mainly shoot portraits and sports but I want to learn photoretouching. I have PC's...do I need a Mac or can I just update on PC?

    Wow, you ask for advice without providing relevant information … and the names (»Europe …«, »North American …«) alone might have been a give-away that in different regions of the world different standards are common.
    Should I be in SRGB or RGB.
    What do you mean by »RGB« as opposed to »sRGB«?
    RGB is a Color Mode, sRGB IEC61966-2.1 is a Color Space – which makes a big difference in meaning.
    Mylenium’s advice to read up on Color Management obviously applies.
    One occasionally recommended site is
    http://www.gballard.net/psd/cmstheory.html
    But the Photoshop Help also offers a chapter »Chapter 4: Color fundamentals« that could be worth your time.

  • HT1338 my screen won't hold the color I chose

    My screen won't hold the color I chose, keeps turning yellow

    Are you using any other settings? Are you overclocking at all?
    CD/DVD is a generic term used for all DVD drives, so it should automatically detect your installed DVD drive and use that to boot if it's set up as the boot deviI
    I put it back to default. No overclocking. I agree about the CD/DVD is a generic term but the motherboard disagrees with you. Also when I "save change and reboot and go to Change setting info my DVD is disabled and is not set to first boot and there is no place to change it. The boot disk I'm using works fine on other computers and I also tried another DVD drive but the BIOS just isn't letting me boot to my DVD?

  • How can I convert Pdf from RGB to CMYK, keeping font color 100% K while working in Illustrator?

    How can I convert Pdf from RGB to CMYK, keeping font color 100% K while working in Illustrator?
    When I try to open the document in Illustrator and I convert to CMYK the black font converts to rich black, but to set up for Offset printintg I need the text to be only in Black (100%K).
    The original source of the document is a Microsoft Word file, I have converted the Word file to Pdf in order to setup for OFfset Printing.
    Thanks

    I have tried that way, but the downside is that the fonts are set in gray not in a 100%K, also I have to deal with other fonts that are composites and meant to stay Full Color. I could select text by text and convert to gray but, its a 64 page document and I wouldn't want to make a expensive mistake.

  • Color setting

    In Cs2 the color setting I have is North American General Purpose 2 but in Cs5 that is not listed but Europe General Purpose 3 is. Are they the same or how can I get them the same...rookie question I am sure.

    i think the most important Adobe color settings "Preserve Embedded Profiles" and alert us of "Profile Matches" and "Missing Profiles"
    these are how i would start a 'rookie' out:
    with these two hard-fast general rules:
    always use the embedded profile and Convert to the desired Working Space (if needed)
    if the file is untagged, first Edit> Assign Profile (the one that looks best on calibrated monitor)
    always embed the profile (apps that don't use embedded profiles will just ignore it)

  • InDesign to PDF - Keeping Paper color/ BG color transfer

    Hello, I'm working on a "Yellow pages" project, where i have changed the "paper" color to a canary yellow, as is going to printed. Is there a way to keep that color when exporting to PDF, so that the background/ paper color remains or transfers to the PDF? ...as is it changes to white when i export. Thank you.

    >Save the file and then
    create a new file. I put a yellow frame on the master and then place the
    original file. I set the ad to multiply to show my client for approval.
    Yes, but you still wouldn't do this with a yellow paper color, would you Bob. OP needs to do it with a new color called "bg yellow" and I'd argue ideally change that paper yellow back to white ASAP! AFAIK, that's nothing but mischief waitin to happen, I tell ya.
    Maybe it's just the Quark in me or the 5th black, but the road to forehead slapping was built on not changing it back...
    ('cause I ain't never slapped my forehead over anything else ;) )

  • CS5 won't open using CONT+H in PSE8

    For some reason CS5 won't open with the Cont+H hot key in PSE8 but will load if using the menu drop down...any ideas how to fix this?

    It's normally ctrl+E to edit in an external program; at least from Lightroom to CS5

  • Adjust color setting HP CP1025 on a macintosh running Yosemite

    Hi,
    Is it possible to adjust the color setting in the settings of my printer runnng in Yosemite (Latest OSX). The colors of my prints are overall to dark.. I want to adjust the gamma.
    Best regards,
    Thijs Boeree

    Hi @ThijsBoeree ,
    I see that you would like to be able to adjust the colors on Yosemite. I can help you with this.
    The drivers for the printer are installed by the Apple Updates. You might have some options for changing those settings in the print driver.Keep in mind this driver might not have the same options as the Full Software drivers from HP. At this time there isn't a Full Software driver for Yosemite.
    From the application that you are printing from, on the File menu, click the Print option.
    Select the driver.
    Open the Color Options menu or the Color/Quality Options menu.
    Open the Advanced menu, or select the appropriate tab.
    Adjust the individual settings for text, graphics, and photographs.
    Depending what application you are using, you might have to make the adjustment from there.
    Hope this helps resolve your issue.
    Have a wonderful day!

  • Color setting message

    After we started to use script that each time reinforces color settings that are saved on a server, we started to get a message:
    "The current color settings file has been modified outside of InDesign. Do you want to synchronize..."
    This message is irrelevant to us, because script will reinforce correct settings next time no matter what choice we make. But the message doesn't have the option:
    "Don't show again"
    and it keeps popping up endlessly.
    Is there a way to make it stop to appear.
    Thank you very much for your help.

    Inside The Photoshop, In the Color Setting, If I choose RGB: ProPhoto, and Save my setting for example To: MY SETTING PROPHOTO,
    Later, Inside the Bridge,  Color Setting,  I can see MY SETTING PROPHOTO, And If I select that, then every-thing is ok. It shows every thing Is synchronized.
    This Is my question:
    Do I need to save a custom setting name, so In order for the Bridge can see that setting ?
    I noticed If I don't save a Custom Setting In Photoshop, The Bridge dose not have any ProPhoto Setting by default.
    Inside Bridge It Has the following Settings:
    Adobe RGB 1998
    Monitor Color
    North America General Purpose 2
    North America Newspaper
    Thanks.

  • Color Picker won't change the color properly?

    Hi guys,
    I have a weird issue with the color. When I changed the color from dark green to bright lime green on Color Picker. The Color Picker show the specific color I want and then I click "OK". It did not change the dark green to bright lime green... instead it show the dull green color. It is really bugging me because I can't figured it what wrong with it. I checked the Color Mode (RGB mode) and Color Setting... everything seems to be right to me.
    Here is the quick screenshot:
    I also tested with other color, it still have the same problem. They won't show the bright color, it show the dull color instead.
    I hope you guys can help me out!
    Thanks,
    Christie

    OK, a few more thought on this.
    Here's what I did and everyone can check for themselves. I made a screen capture of the Color picker and paste it in a RGB and also a CMYK document as shown on the images below. In the CMYK document this converts the RGB color values of the screen capture into the CMYK color space of the document and the colors in the palette are displayed within the document's gamut. If you take the eyedropper and click on any color of the palette on the image you will never get out of gamut colors and this is how they should be displayed in the real Color Picker. The Color picker can still display in a little box out of gamut color if they are selected numerically using the RGB or HSB models but the point is that the display of the palette should be converted to a CMYK color space.
    In the RGB document on the second image, like in the real picker, clicking on the palette with the eyedropper will give a lot of out of gamut colors.
    Now thinking about out of gamut colors. Illustrator decides what is out of gamut colors by comparing the color space of a CMYK document to the working RGB  color space set in the Color Settings and for an RGB document to the  working CMYK space in the Color Settings. But this is not practical all the time because it is one way only from RGB to CMYK and can not be set from CMYK to RGB, RGB to RGB, and CMYK to CMYK.
    CMYK to RGB example: you may have a  document with U.S Web Coated (SWOP) v2 color space and one of its destinations is an sRGB color space. Because you can't set CMYK to RGB for out of gamut consideration, Illustrator will consider out of gamut all sRGB colors that are outside the U.S Web Coated (SWOP) v2 color space. But in this case your destination is sRGB and all colors from the sRGB color space should be presented in gamut and there is actually a small part of the U.S Web Coated (SWOP) v2 colors that are outside of the sRGB color space and only these colors should be shown as out of gamut.
    RGB to RGB example: your document is set in Adobe RGB color space because it will be eventually printed to several RGB printers some of which may have narrower gamut than the document. Then you want to set Illustrator to display out of gamut only the colors in the Adobe RGB color space that the RGB printer can't print, but unfortunately this is not possible even if you have the color profile of the printer.
    CMYK to CMYK example: you may have a  document with U.S Web Coated (SWOP) v2 color space but one of its destinations is U.S Web Uncoated v2, or US Newsprint, again not possible.
    So, in all these examples, the out of gamut colors Illustrator gives in the Color picker and panel are completely useless. Of course the major tool for these tasks remains the soft proofing which is working properly but why not make the out of gamut colors in the Color picker and panel work better and make more sense.

  • IOS7 Reminders app keeps changing color

    With the updated version of the Reminders app in iOS7, users now have the ability to set a color scheme for each list they have created.  However, the color of my default list keeps changing back to orange every time I either add a new task or mark a task as completed.  Regardless of how often I manually change the color option back to any other color (I'd prefer red for my default list), that particular list always reverts back to orange anytime the list is modified.  Although its not huge issue, its becoming increasingly frustrating that I cannot set the color of the Reminders list that I use all of the time. 
    Anyone else experiencing this issue and are there any solutions? 
    Thanks!

    Hello SofaKeenGrad,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like the Reminders app will not keep the color you select for some reason.
    I have a few recommendations for you here:
    First I would start by closing all the running apps on the phone:
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    From: iOS: Force an app to close
              http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    When you have done that, next I would restart your iPhone.
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If the issue persists after that, I would try backing up your phone to iTunes, then restore your phone.
    iOS: How to back up and restore your content
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    Before you restore your phone from your backup, try setting it up as new, and verify the Reminders app works as expected. Then restore from your backup, and test the issue again.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • Force Dreamweaver CS5 to use long hexadecimal color codes

    Hi everyone. Does anybody know if there is an option to force Dreamweaver CS5 to use long hexadecimal color codes in all instances?
    My company designs email newsletters and so we have to ensure maximum compatibility across web clients and email programs. The worst offenders for rendering CSS are Gmail and Outlook. We have to ensure all text and links have their color set by inline style tags, and since this is CSS Dreamweaver inserts them in 3-character shortform. Some versions of Outlook are not capable of processing these shortcodes, and so we must use 6-character codes in all instances.
    I am aware that this is not necessary for most people but for us it is an essential feature. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Sorry for the confusion, SnakEyez02. My sense is that tobe82 addressed the issue that Dreamweaver CS5 inserts 3-character shortform hex code, i.e., #FC3 instead of #FFCC33. This can be seen by using Page Properties to select a color for the page background. As tobe82 points out, there doesn't seem to be a Preference that addresses 3- vs 6-character hex codes although CS5 uses the shorter version under some circumstances.
    For those doing HTML newsletters with Dreamweaver, this is a significant issue because thousands of subscribers use a wide variety of email software, including Microsoft Mail, and view the newsletters online with a wide range of web browsers, including Internet Explorer. Having a "happy yellow" background render black on heavily used Windows software is unacceptable. Knowing the way to correct this is important, so tobe82's question in this forum helped by suggesting the manual code fix. But I agree with tobe82 that it would be a good idea for Adobe to provide a Preference now that the 3-character shortform hex code is in Dreamweaver CS5.
    (Un)fortunately, the example is corrected. If you want to take a look, imagine this Defrost yourself and make a margarita! newsletter with a black background instead of the #FC3 yellow.
    http://reigntrading.com/newsletter/retail/2011_April7/final.html
    It looked more like an invitation to a wake than a party! The yellow background rendered black on Internet Explorer (Win 7) until I changed the automatically inserted #FC3 to #FFCC33. I don't read email on a PC, but thankfully Mac users are used to testing on Windows browsers.....

  • Word 2007 won't print in color

    Running Windows XP Professional.  HP 1610 won't print color fonts.  Does fine if I specify the printing is to be gray scale.  However, text with a colored font (i.e., non-black) won't print in color.  The paper just ejects quickly if I specify draft printing.  If I specify that the application should choose the printing options, it appear to print slowly line by line but without actually putting any ink on the paper.
    The cartridges are fine and work with other applications.

    I think a setting in the Printing Preferences on your PC where it prints all text as black has been enabled. I'm not sure of the exactly place you'll find it, but it is usually located in one of the tabs in Printing Preferences. I'm attaching a screenshot of another printers' settings window as a reference.

    It has nothing to do with "getting near: the other iPhone.
    They are using the same AppleID for iCloud.
    On the 3GS, Setttings > icCloud, delete the iCloud account and turn it on using the new AppleID.
