AI File Import - Color Changes on Paste

We are having a universal problem when pasting elements from
Illustrator CS3 (Mac OS X) into Flash CS3. If we choose to import
Paths as Vector, the color is changed. For example FF9900 becomes
FF8A00. This is not a CMYK to RGB issue. It happens with all
circumstances. We have used the Bridge CS3 to sync colors to NA
Web, and have made new documents from the Web template and still
the color changes. The color change isn't always consistent. If the
color is defined as a Spot it changes differently (FF9900 becomes
FF9B00).
Our current workaround is to export as SWF from Illustrator,
which preserves the colors. Any ideas on what we're doing wrong, or
if this is a limitation/bug?

Compressor: DVCPROHD 720p60
When I prep for DVD I'll use 8-bit uncompressed, but I'm just trying to get a quick proof out for preview via FTP.
"Recompress all Frames" is not checked.
Interesting thing is the colors appear to be preserved when I bring it into Compressor - they are only off in Quicktime.
Doing a compression right now, so we'll see if they are preserved in the final clip for web...

  • 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.

  • Setting? Clicking on color NEF files in Bridge change them to sepia/grayscale!

    What's wrong? When I download color NEF files into Bridge (CS3 and ACR 4.6) or Lightroom 2, a funny conversion happens without any prompting on my part.   In Bridge, if I click on the color thumbnail, the NEF thumbnail turns into a sepia/grayscale, as well as the next NEF image.  If I shoot NEF + jpeg, and click on the jpeg, the jpeg keeps the color, but the related NEF does the color change.   When I import into Lightroom 2 the color NEF images come into LR as the sepia/grayscale.   In the develop module I can recapture color by clicking "Color".

    Not sure but it sounds like you ARE applying a preset...what happens if you click on one of the images in Bridge and go up to Edit>Develop Settings>Clear Settings...does that remove the B&W? If so, somehow you've applied a preset. Clearing the settings on all of the files should give you back color images...

  • Bug when importing Ppt slides with animation: color changes to foam green

    Hi everyone,
    I am using Captivate 7 and I am experiencing what seems like a bug when I try to import Powerpoint slides that have animation effects and then publish the video as HTML5.
    I am using Ppt 2007 and importing the slides as .pptx files using the Import> Ppt slides command in Captivate.
    An example of Ppt slide that I need to import is this: in the slide, there are two groups, created by grouping together several objects (lines, shapes etc). One group has a fade effect applied on it, while the other group has a diagonal down right movement applied to it.
    When I import the slide in Captivate, the following happens:
    If I do not select the High fidelity check box, then the Ppt slide is imported as static, and no effect is shown in the HTML5 video, although the effect is shown in the Captivate preview.
    If I select the High fidelity check box, then the Ppt slide is imported with the effect, and with the original Ppt colors, but as soon as I press F3 to play the slide, or F4 to play the whole project, or I publish the video in HTML5 output, all the original colors change to foam green for the fill in and black for the shape outlines. Furthermore, the text boxes are displayed with their box frame displayed:
    ORIGINAL PPT IMAGE:
    RESULT AFTER CAPTIVATE IMPORT:
    I have read in the forum several posts on this issue, eg colors being changed to foam green even with static Ppt slides, and I tried to apply the suggestions, but none seems to work.
    Any help will be appreciated.

    Hi there
    As Hyperlinks don't survive the import process, perhaps try removing the links and just applying the desired color in PPT before importing into Captivate?
    Cheers... Rick

  • When importing photos from computer, all colors change to garish saturated

    I just imported some photos(jpgs) from my Windows XP/hard drive into Lightroom for the first time. All the colors changed to really garish, bright, highly saturated, in all views, on all photos. Faces are bright red, ground is bright orange, red clothing is blinding.
    This has happened one other time: when I make PDFs from Acrobat Professional. The colors turn all highly saturated and unnatural. Does anyone know why this is or how to help? I have 10,000 photos and they look fine in Photoshop, my Canon Zoombrowser, Windows viewers, everywhere else.
    Thanks.

    >Then I opened all 4 (including raw file) and the Raw, Adobe, and prophoto were identical, the remaining srgb pic was alot redder, like I had a red filter almost, just really warm
    In a color managed app, the three exports in prophotoRGB, adobeRGB and sRGB should look almost identical safe for some minor shifts if you have a wide gamut display or a display with a primary very different from sRGB (certain laptop displays). If they look different, and you are using a color managed app, chances are your monitor calibration is no good. Apps that are color managed are Photoshop, Safari, Apple's preview, Lightroom, recent versions of irfanview (older were not managed). Apps that are not color managed and will give you the wrong color on any display are Windows picture viewer pre vista, (internet) explorer, Google Picasa, etc. Let me assure you that Lightroom correctly exports to sRGB. They did not get this wrong.
    Conclusion: On a calibrated normal gamut display sRGB exports WILL look identical to Lightroom when you are using color managed apps to view your export. In non-managed apps, the colors will be close but there will be only minor color shifts that are usually only visible to critical viewers. On wide gamut displays in color managed apps there might be small differences in saturation i certain limited cases (flowers and such).

  • PDF CMYK TIF Color Changes on "Reduce File Size"

    I run a Mac G4 MDD w/1GB Memory and OSX 10.4.11. Use Acrobat Pro 8.1.2 for PDF viewing, manipulation, forms, making large size files smaller, etc. Recently, I noticed an odd color change on one of 72 ads I am doing for a small 24-page publication. The background image of the ad is a CMYK TIF file placed in a QXP 7.3.1 document. After working on a revision to a previous ad, using the same set-up in QXP, the ad I created, using Output to PDF, opened in AcroPro correctly rendering the ad and background as the other 31 ads I had been working from or on. All the ads are different and have different backgrounds as well. Each ad opened in AcroPro has been made smaller by selecting "Reduce File Size" with no changes to color, drop shadows or text. But, when I selected that (RFS) menu for the 32nd ad, that background color changed completely to a lighter and much more contrasty image. I checked the TIFF background file in PS CS2 to see if it was CMYK or any different than the others. It was like the others, properly rendered and saved, but was much deeper in color. I went back into QXP and noticed the TIFF file in question had a 30% opacity selected to the image. I thought if I saved the original TIFF in PS with a screen tint overtop and flattened to the same look as the intended ad that would solve my problem. I placed that new TIFF background into the ad in QXP and made sure the opacity was 100% and output PDF as I had previously. Unfortunately, the ad turned out exactly the same with the same color shift. There must be something else causing this color change to occur, so if someone else has experienced this and can suggest an answer or posting that may help please advise. Thanks

    Cathy,
    You have posted your question in a forum dedicated to the Final Cut Studio application Color. It is a very specialized program to grade (adjust) the color in video/film images. We know nothing regarding PDFs.
    Have you tried posting this on an Adobe support site?
    Good luck,

  • Changed DivX codec - now all DivX files give 'file importer detected inconsistency ... '

    Okay, so I've upgraded to DivX 7 - or so I thought (still says 6.8.5), long story short, NONE of my previously input DivX encoded avis work in Premiere anymore (Pro CS4). I get a message "File importer detected an inconsistency in th efile structure of ...avi. Reading and writing of the file's metadata (XMP has been disabled."
    They work in external media players, but anything in Premiere seems broken. I've spent WEEKS on this movie and haven't the slightest clue how to fix it. I feel like vomitting because this is for work and I can't figure this out.
    I'm desperate, PLEASE HELP!

    Thank you for the answers. I did a system restore to before I changed the DivX stuff and it seems to work again.
    But I hate editing these files. I think I will take up the advice to convert and replace. But question - when I replace the files in the 'Project area', will it replace all of the pieces connected to that with the correct timing in the timeline?
    I would think it would, but I just want to check.
    Yes; If you replace the clip in the project panel; it will replace it every palce it was used on the timeline in any sequence.
    If you rwplace the clip ON the timeline, it only replaces that clip.

  • 3D PSD file import : how to change 3D anchor point in AE ? Challenge..!

    Hello everyone,
    I've successfully imported a 3D file from Photoshop Extended CS4 into AE CS4. In AE, I can sucessfully animate rotation of the 3D object.
    Here's the problem : I cannot change the 3D object's anchor point. I've tried changing the anchor point's coordinates on the controller layer of the 3D object layer, the numers change, but the anchor point remains at its initial position, as if it was locked.
    I also thought changing the anchor point in PS Extended before importing the file into AE, but PS Extended does not seem to have an anchor point changing tool.
    So I even reasoned back one step : changing the anchor point in my 3D software since the beginning. Well, not possible because PS Extended seems to create an average position for the anchor point when impoting a 3D file from a third party software. So useless changing the coordinates in the 3D software.
    Photoshop Extended 3D is the only possible workflow to import 3D objects into AE that I know of.
    So, is is possible to change the 3D anchor point directly in After Effects ? What blocks that point from being changed ?
    This is quite a challenging problem, good luck for finding a solution ! I'm very sure that this technique is commonly needed and used when working in 3D, and that it will be of great help for many designers that want 3D in After Effects !
    Thanks again !
    Note : please do not confuse simple After Effects standard 3D layer, with the 3D PSD file import layer, these are two totally different types

    Any further forward with this anyone?
    This is driving me insane as well...
    I'm trying to create a simple comp within AE and have my clients logo fly on behind their text while rotating in 3D space.
    The idea is for it to rotate on the X axis, but rotate within the logo itself (straight through the axis within the logo itself)
    But when I try to rotate it, the AP is about 2.5 "logo depths" away from the logo, so when the rotation of any axis starts it looks ridiculous.
    Are Adobe really trying to tell us that moving the AP is not possible within AE for imported Live Photoshop PSD files?
    Hopefully a solution comes along soon as I cannot for the life of me figure out a workaround to the problem......
    Cheers,
    Paul.

  • Color change in RAW file from CR2 to DNG

    I recently got a new Canon camera, the 60D and when converting from the CR2 file format to the DNG format using the latest 7.2 version of DNG Converter I notice a color change between the original image (CR2 file) to the new DNG file.  Once I open it into Camera RAW (version 4.6 with CS3) the color issues go away and if I save it as a JPEG the color issue is no longer a problem but if I were to resave the DNG file to another DNG file it reverts back to the color changed view in MacOS.  Is this something that I need to be concerned with for future use of the RAW files or is it a display issue in MacOS and iPhoto.  The DNG file also shows the color change in iPhoto.  Below are the two screen caps.
    RAW CR2 file straight from the camera
    Converted RAW CR2 to DNG using DNG converter
    This issue only appears to occur in preview mode or in iPhoto. 
    Thanks,
    Nathan

    Try changing the CAMERA’S color-profile settings from sRGB to Adobe RGB or from Adobe RGB to sRGB, switch to the opposite one, and see if the previews are any closer for new CR2 you convert to DNGs.  The theory is that the preview is in terms of the camera Color Profile setting (sRGB vs Adobe RGB) and when the image is converted to DNG that profile is lost for iOS to see, and it is defaulting to the wrong profile. 
    In the end , what matters is how Camera Raw converts the file.
    Also DNGC 7.3 is the latest version:  http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/

  • Color change between copy and paste

    Hi,
    when I draw a rectangle or any other shape in Pages and give that objet a color (RGB: 175,217,82) and I copy and paste that objet, the color of the copied object does change to (RGB: 188,219,108). Copying the copied object stays the same (RGB: 188,219,108).
    This unwanted color-change is very annoying! Help, what am I doing wrong?
    Best regards.
    Maurice

    Maurice,
    There is a difference between the RGB color assigned to the object and the color you measure when you probe the screen area of the object with the color picker tool. I presume this has something to do with the screen driver's attempt to balance the colors or something. (Not an expert here, just observing.)
    There hasn't been a change in color, just a difference between the assignment and the measurement. Trust the color swatch of the Fill tool, not the measurement tool.

  • MS 2.1 'Does not support importing files containing tempo changes' message

    OK, so I've just loaded up the 2.1 upgrade and opened up a couple of existing concerts, and I get the following message:
    +File contains tempo changes+
    +One or more of the files you are importing contains tempo change markers. This version of mainstage does not support importing files with tempo changes.+
    It's a bit of a problem as the dialogue box appears several times during loading, and I have to click 'OK' every time, which adds to the length of time it takes to load up the concert (something I do several times during the course of my set).
    I'm not using any MIDI stuff, just acoustic and electric guitar plus vocal channel strips and playback channels.
    I've tried out some of my backing tracks, which have a ralletando at the back end, and they still seem to slow down properly (which isn't surprising, as they are audio files), and I've also tried setting all the sets back to the concert tempo, which hasn't stopped the issue occurring.
    Any thoughts, anyone?

    Hi Blueberry
    Well, if you mean I put a tempo curve at the end of some of my audio files in Logic, in order to slow down at the end of the song, then, yes, I did do that. However, that still works in MS2.1, and anyway, why would that no longer be allowed, as that is an essential musical function. Also, if the upgrade meant I had to re-do the exporting nearly 200 backing tracks, them I'm afraid it would be back to 2.01 for me.
    Furthermore, I tried starting MS up in 32 bit, and that didn't make any difference either.
    As it is, this problem is (so far) only an inconvenience as it takes longer for me to load a new concert. What I'd like to understand is what does it refer to? and how can I prevent it showing this message?
    Thanks

  • Color Changes When Importing onto Another Computer

    I'm not sure if this is an Illustrator issue, but since I'm using Illustrator, I'm hoping maybe someone can help.
    I made a graphic in Illustrator that I exported. I then put that on a flash drive, took it to another computer, and imported it into software called Lectora (not Adobe related). However, my colors changed greatly. The orange wasn't too bad, but the purple is a huge difference. My company has specific colors, so it's a huge deal to make it the correct shade of purple.
    I don't think it's the software because if you open the graphic on the computer in general, the colors are different. I tried on a third computer, and the colors are still different, so that brings me back to some setting on my original computer.When I open the graphic on my computer outside of Adobe, the colors are what I want.
    The document is RGB, 72ppi. I tried exporting as png, tif, jpeg, bmp, gif (transferred to photoshop), 72ppi, 300ppi, etc.
    Also if it matters, from my original computer to the printer, it prints the different shade of purple rather than what i see on my screen.

    Carla,
    There may be differences in the colours on the different (and possibly differently calibrated) monitors (and between different applications).
    There is probably a significant difference in colours between RGB and CMYK; unless you are using a non PostScript printer (driver), the printer needs CMYK; you should create the CMYK colours by creating a version (the basic print version) in CMYK Color Mode.
    Normally, if you want to make sure that you can print the colours in CMYK, you should start with CMYK.
    Obviously, if the intended (main) use is for screen/web and the print is only secondary, you may work in RGB and live with the colour differences in print; or you may use a (non PostScript) printer with more inks.
    Yet another option is to use spot colours, but that is a further complication.
    Have you used colour management?
    You may start reading the basics here (the articles also apply to Illy, though written for PS).

  • PMS color changes to CMYK when file is closed and reopened

    I got a .psb-document with a adjustmentlayer>solid color as a background. The color is a Pantone 354-C. When I save my document (CMYK), and then reopen it, I no longer get the Pantone color library but the default color picker box. I see no visible change in color though so I'm not sure if the color changes. If I click the color library button in my adjustment layer, it automatically pics the PMS color beneth the 354-C (that is 355 C) and I see a change in color. So I have to repick 354-C again.
    Anyone knows what's going on here?

    Spot Colors have no real connection to individual Layers in Photoshop (as of CS6).
    If you want to use them you need to employ Spot Channels.
    Edit: And your intended color is probably simply out of gamut for that color space.
