Attached images convert to RGB.

I've been trying to send an layered psd image as an attachment using Mail. The image is required to be CMYK and has been created and saved that way - but once attached to the email i'm composing it somehow converts to RGB. I've confirmed with the recipient that it also arrives as RGB. Is there a preference i can turn off to stop Mail messing with the files i'm trying to send?

Thanks Roger. That's exactly what i've done as a "work around". Just thought there might be a more tidier solution.

Clipboard images converting to RGB

When I "copy merged", create a new file and paste the contents into it, I see my new image is RGB instead of the Adobe RGB from the original image. I must have a preference setting wrong somewhere?
When I use the Duplicate command, the color space stays the same, but I don't always want to create a saved file on the hard drive for the second image.

First setup color management so that colors get converted the way you want them to.
But there will still be colors that can't be converted in a way you would expect them to. For instance 100 K won't be converted to RGB 000.
You don't need to convert to RGB at all. Just do a Save for Web and Devices and save as PNG. This will be in RGB.
If you need to get certain colors you would have to convert the file using File > Document Color mode and after that perhaps Edit > Edit Colors > Recolor Art to Assign the colors.

To convert an rgb image to 8 bit grayscale

Hey,
I need to convert an rgb image to 8 bit grayscale image as the image is being acquired, im using the imaq create VI, which has an 'image type' terminal which allows the choice of image to be selected.however this isnt working. any solutions?
also
Im trying to make a image constant for the imaq subtraction VI, so the this constant image is subtracted from each image as its acquired.what would be the easiest way of doing this, without having the user specify the same image path each time? thanks.

Not sure what you mean by extracting a plane?
Here is a VI that will convert an image to 8-Bit. This paired with the grayscale one will get the desired result. See example.vi below. Order that they are applied does give slightly different results.

Are you using RTF for message composition?
If so, try using Plain Text instead.

Convert Colors RGB to CMYK something i don't understand.

Hello!
I'm still "fighting" with maximum TotalInk. There is the problem. Indesign have background and overlaying image with effect - Multiply. So it's extremely hard to avoid not exceed maximum ink. Indesign don't provide normal way to do it and i start to torture Acrobat for that. First step was create Postcript file then distille it to RGB and then convert by Acrobat X Pro (Print Production/Convert Colors).
Theoreticly everything worked out fine. Black text stayed black (which is miracle) and images went to RGB and back to CMYK. BUT...and i don't understand why - Convert to Profile with Perceptual didn't converted it same way as Photoshop. It still got some points which exceed TotalInk (i used profile with maximum 300). AND image has drastic loss of quality! What did i do wrong? I tried to make Preflight new fix which do same thing and it worked - no exceeds of limit but still BAD quality! What did i miss?
Thanks.
P.S. If something isn't understandable please ask, i'll try to make my point more clear (english isn't my first language).

The 'create album' button is identical to File>New From Selection>Album (Command-L).
Oddly enough, this gives different behaviour from File>New>Album...
In other words it makes a new Album with the entire Project's-worth of images in it only if you had nothing selected. It's an assumption on the part of the developers - you've asked for a new Album containing the selection, but nothing's selected - do you throw up an error message (like the one when only one Version is selected), or assume that the user wanted everything.
Personally I think Aperture should throw up a dialog box to keep things consistent, but I can see the reasoning behind it. And as long as we've got menu items and keyboard shortcuts for both, I don't really care.

Problems converting layered rgb files with transparency to cmyk files retaining the layers.

10.7.4/Mac Pro/PhotoshopCS6 13.0 - When cmyk converting a multilayered rgb file layers containing transparency doesn't convert to same profile as layers not including transparency, e.g. a product with a shadow - each on separate layers. the product layer is converted to working Color settings but the transparent layer isn't and is converted completely different, both grayscale and UCR/GCR.
Any suggestions?
Tom

Sorry c.pfaffenbichler, but I'm not giving in - and as you have not really produced any facts to explain this I will see this as a Photoshop bug.
If you make a simple two-point gradient in CMYK the gradient will (according to your settings) create a transition between the two colors.
If one of the colors is 87/78/64/92 and the other 0/0/0/0 then the resulting intermediate steps will depend on those two colors – the CMYK space’s GCR settings have no influence here.
Edit: To clarify: The CMYK space’s GCR settings determine how the default »black« is formed, but a gradient in CMYK is not dependent on those GCR settings. Otherwise all gradients would have to be dragged through the PCS and that would not make sense if somebody decides to make a gradient with certain CMYK colors.
And as I have tried to explain: A black to transparent gradient layer is basically a black layer with a transparency, so again: the CMYK GCR settings do not play into this.
Just convert a RGB black to transparent Layer to CMYK, rasterize it and then apply Layer > Layer Mask > From Transparency, then turn off the Layer Mask.
Whether you »give in« or not does not change the way these things are.
knowing there's a flaw in Photoshop, not letting us see what transparents really look like when converted...?
The flaw seems to be in your understanding, not in Photoshop.
Working in RGB and CMYK has relevant differences.
In RGB there is true black, in CMYK true black would have to be 100/100/100/100 which would violate the requirements for many or most processes.
And a CMYK space’s GCR settings are applied in conversion, when you yourself work in CMYK and commit a blunder (meaning things like exceeding the TAC, arbitrarily mixing grays, …) the problems are of your own making.
Edit: To restate: »expecting a layered image to appear identically in RGB and CMYK is simply not sensible depending on the image content and structure.«
The two color models are inherently different, the one additive, the other subtractive.

Mail or mailing distorts attached images

A few times now, clients have received images I sent as Mail attachments, but the images are badly distorted. Usually squashed top-to-bottom. I don't know why. Is it Apple Mail? Is it the mail carrier, Earthlink? Is it some Mac-v-PC misallignment? Got any ideas?

I am having the same problem. Whenever I get a .jpg or .tiff file, I can open it and it appears fine. When I attempt to forward the email to somebody, the attachment loses resolution - I open it and it's too fuzzy to read. I find myself saving the attachment and converting to a .pdf file, and then reattaching prior to forwarding. Annoying!

Wrong folder and files order when attaching image ...

Hello everyone!
Long ago I noticed a bug in PC Suite: when you attach images to MMS message in PC Suite you would get a mixture of files and folder (folder, files, then again folders, again files, and - more surprising - also files from parent directory etc.) and you cannot get them normally sorted. No need to say that it is very inconvenient..
I am just wondering how much time would it take Nokia to eliminate this bug as it is still present in the latest version of PC Suite 7.1.30.9. (Phone - N82). Or maybe there is some solution?..
Thanks.

Are you using the classic or newer version of Yahoo Mail!? I just tried adding an attachment in an email to myself & none of the pictures I used were grayed out. I am using the newer version of Yahoo Mail!
Have you tried restarting your computer?

When I attach images to an email they show as the image and not an icon. Is there a way to make the attachment an icon?

When I attach images to an email they show as an image and not an icon. Is there a way to have them attached as an icon?
When I send attachments this way some people can't save them. They can see them but not save them.
Any ideas?

They are received as attachments, i.e. icons. What you see is the real image on your disk, and only if small enough to be displayed. Otherwise, they are small icons inserted in the text.
Additionally, when you place an image in the message, you will find an option in the lower right corner, otherwise absent. Use it, if need be.

How can I forward an email and include the attached images?

I sent a client an email with attahced images (I attached the images, pictures I took). The client responded with the images attached to the response. When I try to forward that response to a third party the attached images become place holders only, no image.
Shouldn't my forwarded mail include the images? Short of re-attaching the images how can I get them included in the forwarded email?

I tested a few I forwarded to myself and I could still forward with attachments. You might try Redirecting it (Message menu).

In Windows 7, how come my in-line attachment images on email can not be viewed/open in the email?

I have windows 7. Recently, after Moz upgrade, I noticed that emails with in-line attachments are either completely deleted, or only the name of the file in text is shown - not the image itself.
How can I re-set or change my settings to enable in-line attached images from the web (example .cid) be viewed? My plug-ins are all up to date (quick time, java, etc).

Let's try this first. Hold down the Shift key while you try to launch iTunes. You should eventually see the following dialog:
Click "Choose library". Browse to inside the following location (depending on what operating system you're running):
Operating System
Default location of iTunes library
Microsoft Windows XP
\Documents and Settings\[your username]\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
Microsoft Windows Vista
\Users\[your username]\Music\iTunes\
Microsoft Windows 7
\Users\[your username]\My Music\iTunes\
... and open the iTunes library you find in there.

I am using a MacBook Pro. I simply cannot find a way to attach images adjusted in Lightroom as attachments and/or without massive degradation in quality. I follow the LR attach email process as specified by LR, the photos appear in the email seemingly embedded and the recipients of the email cannot save the attachment.

You are welcome. Just finished a chat session with an Apple support rep and confirmed the matte option no longer available. Seems lots has changed since I bought my 17” 19 months back:). They did say that there were after market screen films available from places like amazon
Have never used anything like that though. My wife has a 2008 MBP 15” with gloss and I can say it is a nice screen finish, you just have to be careful of lighting from behind you. All my iMacs were glossy and I did learn to compensate for the added brilliance the screen brought to the photos. The new soft proofing feature of LR5 seems to better estimate the level of brightness of the printed work, compared to past versions of the s/ware.
In any case, in my opinion you really can’t go wrong with the apple product. I bought my first iMac in mid 1999 and have never looked back. I donated that machine to a pre-school in 2008, it was running OSX version 2 or 3 I think. I did run Photoshop 7.0 on an IBM laptop for a time (windows XP). I think I had one of the very first versions of Adobe Camera Raw on that machine. I digress, sorry.
The chat representative did confirm that the 17” is out of production and I’m guessing Apple found the market for the big laptop just wasn’t there. They did mention that 17” MBP’s show up as “certified refurbished” units from time to time. Suggest you might explore that option with a local Apple store in the UK, assuming Apple has store front operations off this continent of course.
Please feel free to contact me with further questions if you wish.
Take care, Gordy

Attach images in Adobe Reader for iPAd

Dear All,
In Actobat Reader for PC, we can attach images either using form with Button/Icon or Image Fields. Is there a way we can do the same thing in Adobe Reader for iPad?
Thanks,
Jackson

The iOS Adobe Reader does not support attaching images using form fields. Thanks for contacting us!
