BUG: Info panel displays incorrect Hue values

Recently, I've been doing a lot of work with color in Fireworks and came across the following bug, which appears to be a longstanding issue within the application. Rather than keeping it to myself, I figured I'd post it here in addition to submitting a bug report with Adobe. So here it is...
Hue values displayed within the Info panel (in HSB mode) do not consistently match the values displayed in the Color Mixer panel—including basic colors such as pure Yellow, Cyan, and Magenta. The values are 1 degree off—most often below the Color Mixer value, but sometimes above (as with Magenta). This holds true whether using with the Eyedropper tool or the Color Picker swatches eyedropper, and whether sampling from the canvas or from swatches.
For example, the following inconsistencies were observed when sampling the centermost horizontal strip within CS6's default Color Cubes swatches picker. Note that over 50% of these colors are affected by the issue.
The Color Mixer seems to display the correct values, while the Info panel's values appear to be incorrect. Note that this issue affects the HSB mode only; the RGB and Hex values are consistent between both panels.
This bug has been observed in Fireworks CS6, Fireworks CS5.1 and Fireworks 8 on Mac OS 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard).
Here's the bug report submitted for this issue:
Product name: Fireworks
Product Version: 12.0.0.236
Product Language: English
Your operating system: Mac OS 10.6.8 (Intel-based)
******BUG******
Concise problem statement: The Info panel displays incorrect Hue values for many colors—including pure Yellow, Cyan, and Magenta. The Hue values are usually 1 degree below the value displayed in the Color Mixer panel (e.g., 59 instead of 60 for Yellow) but sometimes 1 degree above (e.g., 301 instead of 300 for Magenta). This is true whether using the Eyedropper tool or the Color Picker swatches eyedropper, and whether sampling from the canvas or from swatches.
Steps to reproduce bug:
In an open Fireworks document, open the Info, Color Mixer, and Swatches panels. Within the Color Mixer and Info panels, set the color mode to HSB.
Draw a Rectangle and set its fill to Yellow (#FFFF00) using the Color Picker.
Observe the Hue values displayed in the Color Mixer and Info panels.
Select the Eyedropper (I) tool, and sample the rectangle's fill color. Again, observe the Hue values displayed in both the Color Mixer and Info panels.
Results: In both steps 3 and 4, the Hue value for pure Yellow (#ffff00) appears as 60 degrees in the Color Mixer panel but 59 degrees in the Info panel.
Expected results: The Hue for pure Yellow (#ffff00) should appear as 60 degrees in both panels.
Note that this issue affects the Info panel's HSB mode only; the RGB and Hex values are consistent between panels. Also note that this bug affects over 50% of the "pure" hues within CS6's Color Cubes swatches palette. For more info, see the following forum post:

I haven't done anything other than add my footage to the timeline. I have 2 layers (1 targa seq and 1 png seq). As I move my mouse from the Timeline to the Comp Panel, the color values flash for a split second and go away. If I press Opt+1 (2, 3, and 4) the Info Panel displays the color for that one pixel but the values go blank as soon as I move my mouse. This happens in the Comp Panel mostly. If I open a Footage or Layer Panel, sometimes the values show, sometimes not. Never had this issue in previous versions.

Illustrator CC 2014 Links Panel Displaying Incorrectly

Hi,
I am having trouble with the Links panel in Illustrator CC 2014.
The panel does not display correctly, it seems to hide all of the link information and preview unless I enlarge the panel to a huge size.
Even if I resize the window it still displays incorrectly and hides all of the link previews. The same also happens when I hide all of the link information as well.
Is anyone else having this problem and / or has a solution?
Thank You.

Has a solution been found?I am actually having another issue with the links panel and the links themselves. Sometimes my links panel will not even show up when clicking Window>Links Panel. Whether it shows up or not, I can no longer work with linked images in illustrator. Simple clicking on a linked image inside a clipping mask causes illustrator to stop for about five minutes. Releasing the clipping mask takes another five. Moving the image behind the clipping mask takes another five along with re-making the clipping mask. It is certainly not the hardware because I can quickly minimize illustrator, make edits in PS, download a movie while playin iTunes...while illustrator is taking 5 minutes to move an object. I am truly stumped by this, someone please help as it costing me hours and hours of time at work.

BEx Web Application Designer - Info Field - Display Static Filter Values

Hi there,
I'm not sure if anyone is having the same issue I am having... but here goes.
I have the option DISPLAY STATIS FILTER VALUES turned on in my 0ANALYSIS_PATTERN & 0ANALYSIS_PATTERN_EXPORT web print templates for printing to PDFs from the Query Designer.
- If I have it turned on, all the filters (including the dynamic) are displayed with about 4 rows of empty space between each line.
- If I have it turned off, the dynamic filters are displayed normally.
Does anyone know how to affect the font and spacing of this setting?
Note: As it is the the standard print template, I can't add the perameters of which filter to display.
Please let me know if you have any ideas.
Thanks, Audrey

Hi Edward,
Help to your answer I could understand my mistake. I was customizing the Data Binding part instead of the Internal Display.
I did the following :
[ ]Display Static Filter Values
[ ]Display Genertal Text Elements
[ ]Display Dynamic Filter Values
[x]Display Variables
[ ] Only Variable with values
And it is working now.
FYI: no need to uninstall and reinstall the Bex tools, it worked directly with the latest patch.

Laurent

Minor bug: Info panel truncates text inspite huge free space.

Enter "Common Photo Settings" in the fields of the Info Panel. If entered in the 1st or second field, the text will be truncated in the middle and abbreviated by "...", but not so in the lowest line, in which the entire text appears.
Needles to say, considering the vast space on the screen between the image and the top panel, this is not necessary. It would be even better to provide the data a bit higher, space permitting, not overlapping the image and not requiring the switching between two Info panels.

Fonts in panels display incorrectly

See the following Adobe technote for possible causes and solutions: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/138/tn_13862.html.

I don't think there is a way to increase font size in panels, but you can zoom in. How Designers Can Utilize Mac OS X Accessibility Features. Scroll down to the last step. There is also a good article at InDesign Secrets that covers both Mac and PC magnification options. http://indesignsecrets.com/magnify-screen-display.php

Problems with Custom File Info Panel and Dublin Core

I'm creating a custom file info panel that uses the values of the dublin core description and keywords (subject) for two of it's own fields. I'm having problems with the panel saving if they enter the description on the custom panel first, and with the keywords not echoing each other, or reappearing after a save. Here is the code for the panel <?xml version="1.0"> <!DOCTYPE panel SYSTEM "http://ns.adobe.com/custompanels/1.0"> <panel title="$$$/matthew/FBPanelName=Testing for Matthew" version="1" type="custom_panel"> group(placement: place_column, spacing:gSpace, horizontal: align_fill, vertical: align_top) { group(placement: place_row, spacing: gSpace, horizontal: align_fill, vertical: align_top) { static_text(name: '$$$/matthew/keywords = Keywords', font: font_big_right, vertical: align_center); edit_text(fbname: '$$$/matthew/keywordsFB = Keywords', locked: false, height: 60, v_scroller: true, horizontal: align_fill, xmp_ns_prefix: 'dc', xmp_namespace: 'http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/', xmp_path: 'subject'); } group(placement: place_row, spacing: gSpace, horizontal: align_fill, vertical: align_top) { static_text(name: '$$$/matthew/description = Description', font: font_big_right, vertical: align_center); edit_text(fbname: '$$$/matthew/descriptionFB = Description', locked: false, height: 60, v_scroller: true, horizontal: align_fill, xmp_ns_prefix: 'dc', xmp_namespace: 'http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/', xmp_path: 'description'); } group(placement: place_row, spacing: gSpace, horizontal: align_fill, vertical: align_top) { static_text(name: '$$$/matthew/season = Season', font: font_big_right, vertical: align_center); popup(fbname: '$$$/matthew/seasonFB = Season', items: '$$$/matthew/Season/Items={};option 3{option 3};option 2{option 2};option 1{option 1}', xmp_namespace:'http://monkeys.com/demo/testingmatthew/namespace/', xmp_ns_prefix:'matthew', xmp_path:'season'); } group(placement: place_row, spacing: gSpace, horizontal: align_fill, vertical: align_top) { static_text(name: '$$$/matthew/ltf = Limited Text Field', font: font_big_right, vertical: align_center); edit_text(fbname: '$$$/matthew/ltf = Limited Text Field', locked: false, horizontal: align_fill, xmp_namespace:'http://monkeys.com/demo/testingmatthew/namespace/ ', xmp_ns_prefix:'matthew', xmp_path:'ltf'); } } </panel> Thanks for the help

To answer my own question:
The documentation really sucks.
I found this reply from Adobe <http://forums.adobe.com/message/2540890#2540890>
usually we recommend to install custom panels into the "user" location at:
WINDOWS XP: C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels\2.0\panels\
WINDOWS VISTA: C\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels\2.0\panels\
MAC OS: /user/username/Application Data/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels/2.0/panels/
The reason why your panels did not work properly was a missing Flash trust file for that user location. Without such a trust file the embedded flash player refuses to "play" your custom panel.
Please see section "Trust files for custom panels" in the XMPFileInfo SDK Programmer's Guide on page 50 for all details on how to create such trust files.
After many wasted hours I have now the simple panels running.

In the Info panel, how do I display pixel values as values, not as percentages?

I'm trying to show, using the eye dropper tool, the actual values of pixels in an 8-bit grayscale image (Mode command confirms that's what's there). In the Info panel, the eye dropper tool displays percentages for every type of color information (K, CMYK), while the "8-bit" field remains blank.
I've looked at Properties and pretty much everything else that I can find with no luck.
Photoshop CS6, 64 bit, Win7-64
Thanks!

Noel,
Thanks for your reply. I thought this had been fixed by recreating the Preferences file, but this morning I was back to percentages. I did have different settings in the Info Panel from the ones in your very helpful picture, and after I changed mine to match yours I now see 0-255 values in the R, G, B settings when using the eyedropper on this grayscale image.
Instead of RGB Color for the First Color Readout I had "Actual Color". This by itself causes percentages to be displayed. All options for the Second Color Readout all seem to produce percentages.
"Actual Color" is what I normally use for the first readout. In the case of a Grayscale document, it will display a K (black) value. For a RGB image, it will display R,G and B values. And so on.
When 8-bit is chosen for the value format, we expect a value of 0..255 to be displayed. As you know, that works fine for the RGB readout, but a Grayscale readout displays a percentage instead.
So if you set one of the readouts to RGB and 8-bit, you can get 0..255 values to be displayed for your Grayscale document.
When the document is Grayscale, the RGB values are a conversion from the document colour space to the RGB working space as defined in Edit > Color Settings. To get the true values of the pixels, the Grayscale document profile and RGB working space must be complementary (for lack of a better word). That's why, in my first reply, I said to use the following combinations:
Doc with sGray profile and RGB working space of sRGB.
Doc with Gray Gamma 2.2 profile and RGB working space of Adobe RGB.

Storage values under about this mac displaying incorrectly, but amount of space used IS correct. Any ideas?

I noticed recently that the "storage" under "about this mac" is displaying incorrectly. It doesn't show the correct values for my photos, videos, and audio files. It classifies this data under "other". I have been searching all over the internet, I went to the Apple genius bar yesterday and they recommended I re-install OSX. I did and it still shows up incorrectly. They were baffled, said they never really came across this issue. I have tried re-indexing spotlight, that didn't seem to help.
The amount of storage used IS correct. It just doesn't show up under the correct categories in storage, under about this mac. Also, the computer seems to work fine. No real issues. It's a mid 2012 MBP. 500gb hard drive. Most recent OSX is installed.
I DO NOT think it is local snapshots, cause my backups category is small and the amount of space used and free is correct. I have downloaded omnidisk sweeper to confirm this.
I have seen a few posts on here and around the web referring to this, but no real answers. I have also reviewed Pondini's info on this to no avail.
Does anyone have any ideas?!?!

Also,
I had installed a version of parallels with windows 7, but deleted it. Would parallels be causing my computer to index incorrectly? I I used appcleaner to delete all the parallels files so I do not have it anymore.

Info panel not displaying eps info

I cannot get the ppi information to display in the info panel. Is this some new spangly feature of InDesign, or a bug?

Clarification of what is claimed, and why we are perpetuating this conversation.
John, that's jut nit picking at what I said.
Sorry, I tried to make it clear, it's a nit but I think it is a very important one. Please feel free to disagree. But when we're talking about whether a file format that's important to people is doing to be supported, or is going to go away, it's very important to be clear about the public statements that have been made. Similarly, I do get bothered when EPS is described as "archaic" or "obsolete." It fills needs that are not filled by PDF or AI files, and while it is certainly older than PDF, it is of peer age to TIFF and JPEG. It is certainly less frequently used, and in many applications there are better choices (like PDF). But not in all.
The issue of "double standards."
John, nor do you really say why you think EPS is preferred. Double standards here.
I'm sorry, but please reread my post. I do not say that "EPS is preferred." I talk about several things it can and cannot do, and explain why, for instance, it and PDF show some of the same deficiencies in InDesign's Info panel. I tell you some reasons that I like it. But I do not in fact believe that it is a "better" format most of the time, and make no such claim. It is unfair to ask me to substantiate claims I did not make. I tried to be quite careful on this one.
Yes, generally PDFs are better. But.
You have produced quite a link storm there, but I'm afraid they don't do a terribly clear job of explaining why these other formats are better than EPS, and for exactly which applications. If your point is to say that in general, one should not prefer EPS over PDF, then that's fine. I think it is a true statement.
What bothers me about the statements in this thread (and this forum in general frequently echoed on this forum) is that it is wrong to use EPS; that EPS is obsolete; that Adobe InDesign will drop support for EPS; that EPS is archaic. That's simply not the case. It might be the wrong format for bigdrunk (it probably is; but we don't really know what he is doing). It is not the wrong format for everyone.
Addressing the external links/references
But we should be clear on what we're talking about. Your initial link, to Real World Illustrator's What's in a file? does a great job of describing the output formats from Illustrator. It doesn't really make a recommendation, other than to note that PDF supports some features that EPS does not. Transparency being the key point, and we've mentioned that only four times before your post. I'm not sure if that's the "plain as day" or not.
Adobe's David Evans' psvspdf post similarly discusses both formats, and suggests that EPS is a replacement for PDF -- which it is. But that only gets you so far. It doesn't address the fact that PDF files can have downsides compared to EPS files (many articulated above in the thread), but really just says that PDF can do most of the things that EPS can do. That's certainly true. After all, you can put EPS files inside PDF files! But that doesn't tell you that you're better off writing to a PDF file in any particular case. To pick a few examples from above, some apps can only read EPS files and can't read PDF files. And others can generate EPS files much more easily than they can generate PDF files.
I am rather apalled that you would cite eHow. They are rather notorious for giving bad advice that is not vetted by experts. In this case, though, the eHow post merely answers the question, "If an EPS file won't work, what are the alternatives?" It seems to do so correctly, but its not relevant to this discussion.
Craig Kirkwood's Pixel Therapy link is more general advice, for "How should I save my Illustrator work?" And again, none of us here who are speaking up for EPS are saying that it is the preferred file for Illustrator work (though I did point out that Illustrator can produce smaller EPSs than PDFs, which is bizarre).
PDF-in-AI or AI-in-PDF?
(although I disagree about saving as PDF from Illustrator with editing capabilities, best to save as ai with PDF)
Why do you think so? In general, they should be equivalent -- in both cases a PDF file is available to PDF-reading applications, and in both cases (and in Illustrator EPS, by the way), Illustrator private data is preserved for full Illustrator editing capability. I would say that distributing .PDF files is a better choice, because if a non-expert person receives a .ai attachment in their email, they are more likely to be confused about how to view, print or render it than they would be if they receive a .pdf file. That may not sound like the most compelling reason, but I can't think of one that is more compelling.
No flat recommendation of EPS over PDF.
I quite literally CANNOT find one source that recommends EPS over AI or PDF???
I wonder why that is?
To be honest, I think it is because there are very few experts on these file formats. You need to really understand the low-level file format to be qualified to offer an opinion on the merits of the file format by itself. And the merits of the file format aren't really the point most of the time -- what matters is the applications that you use, and how they handle it. Does a given application produce better PDF files or better EPS files. Does another application read EPS files better than it reads PDF files? Are there apps that read or write one but not the other? Is there a savings in file structure, in maintenance, in cost, in aggravation.
Most of the people who write about these things are aware of the ramifications and the practical effects of the choices, but not the low-level details.
Most of the time the low-level details do not matter. But they do indeed matter to some of us, and it is those of us who have spoken up in this thread.
In favor of EPS, but in a limited way.
Why EPS is sometimes better.
Can you explain why you think EPS is better than ai or PDF? Can you point me to any online sources, or books?
As we have enumerated in this thread (and the other recent one, I guess), EPS has the following potential advantages over PDF; they may not be important to you, but they are sometimes important to some of us in some cases:
1. It can be easily authored by humans and tools without requiring complex tools to convert into intermediate formats (e.g. Acrobat Distiller; pstopdf or GNU Ghostscript; expensive libraries to produce PDF output);
2. If appropriately written, it can produce human-readable ASCII output that can be understood by someone familiar with EPS. For programatically generated output, seeing that the code says "Draw a circle at coordinates (1 inch, 1 inch)" can be extremely valuable. In such an EPS file, that might be "1 inch 1 inch drawcircle."
3. Bitmap binary data can be more efficiently JPEG encoded in EPS than in PDF. (I was not aware of this, and do not know it to be the case. But Uwe mentions it.)
4. Gernot's point regarding direct CMYK specifications. I'm honestly not sure what it is, so I won't try to explain it.
5. Some apps output cleaner EPS files than they do PDF files. Apparently Illustrator is one such app. Which is bizarre.
6. Some applications/clients/specifications require EPS, such as the CUMULUS database.
As for AI, well, as we've already said above AI and PDF are essentially equivalent, as both can contain PDF images and Illustrator private data. But EPS is certainly better than Illustrator private data because it is an open, well-documented standard. Anyone with enough time on their hands can interpret an EPS file acording to a public, published spec that's been around for years. There are free and commericial software PostScript renderers, and there are an abundance of PostScript printers. None of those things are true for AI.
The rest.
What's left? I think that's really about it. You've spent quite a bit of time arguing against a position I do not think anyone was adopting.

Inconsistent values in Info Panel and Transform Panel

Does anyone know what circumstances would cause inconsistent values for Width and Height to be shown in the Info Panel vs the Transform Panelin AI CS6? For instance, I have a vector object selected and the Transform Panel has "80 in" for the width value and the Info Panel shows "96.8654 in". Height is likewise screwy. Should this ever be happening? Is it possibly an AI bug?

That's not normal. Try a restart.
If that doesn't help, try and trash the preferences. Or try this method http://www.bugge.com/Family-and-friends/Illy/illy.html

Bridge CS6 Mac XMP File Info Panel Bug: can't copy and paste metadata

The cmd-keys / shortcuts doesn't work in the xmp file info panel btw. in the xmp / iptc fields (e.g. cmd+c, cmd+v, ...) of Adobe Bridge CS6 (Mac OS 10.6.8 and 10.7.3). You are not able to cut and paste info from one box to another like previous versions.
This bug only appears in the xmp file info window (opened via alt+i) in Bridge CS6 - if you edit information or metadata in the file info panel in Photoshop CS6 copy and paste from one field to another works.
The shortcuts also work under Windows (tested under Vista).
I noticed this minor bug already one in the Photoshop CS6 Beta more than one months ago. I hoped that this was corrected in the official test version, but unfortunately it is not. Although it is a minor bug, it is IMHO a basic function and would be very helpful in my daily work - it is too bad, that such a small thing is making working with the application a little bit annoying.

Thanks! If there is a workaround or simple solution, I would be very glad if you could inform me.

Displaying both pixel and inch dimesnsion in the Info Panel

Anybody else constantly switching the Info Panel from displaying inches to pixels and vice versa?
How to avoid having to do this? I either want to see one or the other, somtimes being able to see both simultaneously would be nice. While dragging out Rectangular Marquees, doing Transforms, etc.

I actually installed the trial of Flash Builder but did not get far before it expired, so I can only share Silkrooster’s suspicion that it may be possible.

Custom XMP File Info Panel; Popup fields only showing 64 values max?

I've created a custom file info panel for use with Creative Suite (Primarily for Bridge, but works just as well for any "File Info..." aware app.
I just recently noticed that there seems to be a limit to the amount of values in a Popup (aka drop down) field? I have a few that are intended to have up to 132 values, but they stop at 64!

I've removed names to protect the innocent:

It would be great to solve.

Exception Aggregation (Average) displaying incorrect values after EHP1 Upgr

Hi All,
Exception Aggregation (Average) displaying incorrect values after EHP1 Upgrade in our BW system
We have recently upgraded the system to EHP1. After the upgrade some of the queries where we are using Exception Aggregation (Average) started giving the incorrect values.
Eg. We are displaying three Key Figures KF1, KF2 and KF3 (=KF1 %A KF2) against Store Hierarchy. In KF3 we are using Exception Aggregation (Average) on a characteristic 0PLANT.
There are 14 rows against 0PLANT and out of those 2 rows are blank for KF1, so for KF3. When it is calculating the average of these key figures its dividing the total value by 12 instead of 14 which is not correct in our case. Earlier it was dividing the total by 14.
So in this case 'Average' and "Average of all values <>0" are behaving the same way.
Kindly provide some inputs on this.
Best Regards,

Hi,
Thanks for viewing the thread. And happy to let you know that the issue was resolved.
The solution was:
Two formulas (local) were created, one including the formula variable with replacement path for ZD1, with exception aggregation on ZD1, and the other with formula variable with replacement path for ZD2, with exception aggregation on ZD2. Both these formulas are hidden.
Another formula (local) was created for u2018time takenu2019 = formula with ZD1 u2013 formula with ZD2, with exception aggregation total on u2018ZDOCNOu2019.
For the second instance, when one requires exception aggregation on records that has multiple values for keys, a nesting of formulas can be done displaying only the ones required.
For e.g. a formula with exception aggregation on say characteristic u2018item no.u2019 can be hidden, and included in another formula for exception aggregation on characteristic u2018document no.u2019. This is a typical case where one can achieve calculation before aggregation for a calculated key figure, formula or a counter.
Hope it might help someone, and saves time and effort for a similar issue posted.
Also would like to keep this thread open for exploring better solutions.

Vijay
