Can't convert from CMYK to RGB in Illustrator CS6

I'm moving art over to a new document. It was created in CMYK. The new document has a color mode of Basic RGB. After pasting the art I select it all, and choose Edit | Edit Colors | Convert to RGB. After saving and re-opening the document, the art once again has CMYK attributes, not RGB. What am I doing wrong?

That might be it, Jacob.
It's when, for instance, I have the Appearance window open and shift-click on the stroke or fill to see the color attibutes (rather than simply looking at the swatches). It kept showing up in CMYK.
But making that change in the flyout seems to have it showing properly.
Thanks!

  • Redistilling PDF some pages have been converted from cmyk to rgb.

    When re-distilling a pdf on certain files, some pages convert to rgb, even though the setting "High Quality Print" in Acrobat is set up leave colours unchanged.
    Same problem occurs on Acobat X, 9, 8 versions.
    Any help or suggestions appreciated.

    Do you re-print them to Adobe PDF printer using Acrobat or use distiller for this.
    In Acrobat once you select Adobe PDF printer click on Advanced option. Click on Color Management. Select -> Same As Source under Color Handling drop down. Having selected "Leave colours unchanged" and Same As Source will not make any change.
    I believe it will work for you.

  • How to change settings from CMYK to RGB in illustrator and photoshop

    Everything is in CMYK and I need to change it to RGB for my M2 dtg garment printer, because my colors on shirts are not coming out right.  My rip software for printer is in RGB.  When I open new file in illustrator and click advanced to change to RGB I get a little warning saying;  The chosen color mode is different from the color space defined by the Document Profile.  Panel content may not match the new color mode.

    First choose "Basic RGB" for Profile in the New Document Dialog, then adjust any advanced settings.

  • Why can't I open DWG files in Adobe Illustrator CS6?

    Why can't I open DWG files in Adobe Illustrator CS6?  I recently upgraded to Mac OS X Mountain Lion & got a new Mac Pro.  Then I signed up for the Creative Cloud.  Now I cannot open any DWG files in Illustrator.  Why?

    No, not really.  I do get a few error messages when I start up now, but I had transferred everything from my old computer, so figured it was a glitch. The error message was a dialogue box like the others, only it said this:
    "Insecure start-up item disabled. Library/Startup Items/.DS_Store/ has not been started because it does not have the proper security settings."
    "Insecure start-up item disabled. Library/Startup Items/ES1000Service/ has not been started because it does not have the proper security settings."
    "Insecure start-up item disabled. Library/Startup Items/Parallels/ has not been started because it does not have the proper security settings."
    I know for sure we have not used Parallels in the past 2 years that I have been here.
    As for the other two star-tup items, I am not entirely sure what thier purpose is.
    Would any of these have anything to do with it?

  • How can I convert (or switch) the RGB percent values from the LR histogram into RGB values which are shown e. g. in PS/CameraRAW?

    In LR 5.5 (same in previous versions) the RGB values in the histogram are shown in percent (relativ) values. I prefere to see the absolute values, but I can`t find any way to switch. Maybe this option is intentional disabled, because LR works in 16-Bit mode this would result in values up to 2^16. But as i compared the relativ values from LR with the absolute values from PS i run into a conversion problem. The following example shows the differences:
    CameraRAW : RGB, 128,0,0
    Lightroom: RGB, 43,8%, 19,0%, 6,2%
    CameraRAW: RGB, 0,128,0
    Lightroom: RGB, 29,8%, 47,5%, 17,5%
    Mainly i have two questions:
    1. Is there any possibility to change the percent RGB values in LR to absolut values?
    2. How can i convert CameraRAW values to LR values (see above)?

    TThe reason that a design decision was made from the beginning of LR to show only the percentage values was that RGB values are dependent on the color space and the LR histogram and numerical readout are derived from the Develop module's display space which is a hybrid color space with ProPhoto RGB primaries and the sRGB TRC. Thus the numerical values in the display would be different from the exported RGB image (in an orthodox space) and it was feared that this would be misleading. When soft proofing was introduced, because it involved converting the display to an orthodox space, it became possible to use the 0-255 scale in that mode.

  • How can I convert from color balance in FCE to color balance in FCPX?

    Let me start off by saying that I've been having an issue with a project in Final Cut Express - a project I'd put a lot of time into and thought I was finished with. Before continuing on, I encourage you to take a look at my other thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18702933?ac_cid=op123456#18702933
    Realizing that there may be no one who can walk me through fixing my project as is, I decided to download a trial version of Final Cut Pro X and see if I could replicate my project there and have more success (after all, it was only a matter of time before I switched anyway).
    So, in my original project in FCE, I keyed a lot of frames with different color balances. I downloaded the Ripple Training color balance effect to do just that, but the sliders are set up differently. In FCE, they range from -1 to 1. In FCPX, they range from 0 to 1. I'm wondering how I can conveniently convert the values from FCE to FCPX. Being terrible at math has made this much harder.
    Just by drawing a diagram, like the following, I can figure out the basics:
    FCE
    [-1]-----[-.5]-----[0]-----[.5]-----[1]
    is equal to:
    FCPX
    [0]-----[.25]-----[.5]-----[.75]-----[1]
    Since I have very specific numbers, not all of which can be easily converted using a basic diagram like the one above, I definitely need some help here. For example, one of the values in FCE is .77. What would that be equal to in FCPX? It's probably something simple, but like I said, I'm stupid when it comes to math.
    Thanks to anyone who can provide me with some help here, although I still hope that I'll end up having no reason to redo everything in FCPX.

    Well, the "math answer" is .885…but I'm afraid that's not likely to be of much help. FCPX and FCE have absolutely nothing in common, including filters land color correction. So even if you sent the time comverting all your numeric values, I'm guessing you'll wind up with a mess and be very frustrated with all the time wasted in the workaround.
    If I read your original FCE thread correctly, I if it were my project., I'd do a test on a short clip in X to see whether yoi can the effects and quality you expect. If you can, great.  Build you project from scratch and learn a new NLE at the same time.
    Good luck.

  • Change swatches from CMYK to RGB

    Okay so I've just realised that my documents are CMYK and have changed the settings to RGB (File > Document color mode > RGB and from the colour fly out menu) although I notice that when I hover my mouse over the colors in the swatches panel that it shows me the CMYK values.
    Could someone please assist me with this as I'm not sure why this is happening.
    Thanks in advance

  • How can I convert from Modbus raw data to engineering units using a formula?

    Within Lookout, I have several Modbus numerical input types that do not have a linear corespondence to the Engineering values they represent.  How can I display these values accurately using a formula to convert from the raw data to an engineering value?

    I don't quite understand your reply.  I'm using Lookout 6.0.2, logged in as Administrator, in Edit Mode.  The Modbus object is named RTU06_SAV.  The Active member is 30002 with an alias of SAVfmSMT_RSL.
    Following your instructions, I opened Object Explorer and right-clicked on RTU06_SAV. 
    This opened a menu containing:  Refresh, Cut, Copy, Rename, Delete, Edit connections..., Edit Data Member Configuration, Configure Network Security and Properties.
    I assumed that I should select Edit Data Member Configuration, but maybe I'm wrong. 
    Within Data Member Configuration I can set up Linear Scaling between Raw data and Engineering data.  I know how to do that, but what I need to know is how to convert Raw data to Engineering data using a formula representing a non-linear transformation (such as a converion to a logarithmic value or perhaps a formula derived by fitting the formula to a curve on a calibration chart).
    Once I have this my Engineering data can be represented on a control panel as both a numeric value AND as a correctly reading Gauge.  It can also be properly represented on a HyperTrend graph.
    What do you suggest?

    Video into PDF? Sounds reasonably strange. In any case, the only way to use such files would be to extract the components in Acrobat. Select the actual video with the Touchup Object tool, righ-click, save to disk. Depending oin the specifics of the PDF fiel this may not work, though.

    The Lab values for  this colour are 39 -18 -52. If you're using the appropriate CMYK profile for your printing conditions, you could make a new Process Colour swatch using those Lab values, and it will automatically convert to CMYK.

  • Unable to save from .ai to .eps in Illustrator CS6 or CC

    I have created vector artwork in Illustrator CS6. I've saved the file successfully as an "ai" file. Now, I'm trying to do a new "save as" into an eps, but the file never saves nor appears in the folder I'm trying to save to. I've been using Illustrator for over 7 years to do this sort of thing, and since upgrading to CC I'm having this problem. (I've been using a work around, where I save as a PDF and then reopen in Photoshop to convert to an EPS) I'm running OS X 10.8.5 and have tried both Illustrator CS6 and CC.
    For workflow illustrative purposes.
    1. I open the ai file
    2. File --> Save As...
    3. Save As dialog box comes up
    4. File name shows as ----> Save As: MyFileName.ai
    5. I choose from pull down menu --> Format: Illustrator EPS (eps)
    6. File name now shows as ----> Save As: MyFileName.eps
    7. I hit "Save"
    8. File does not show up in folder. I do a spotlight for that name, and nothing.
    Any help or guidance is greatly appreciated!

    Vikrant,
    Thanks for the quick response! I'm sorry I did not include that bit in my step by step.
    Yes, the EPS Options pop up does come up. I've tried saving as an Illustrator CC (17.0) EPS and as a legacy Illustrator CS6 and CS5 format. I have attached a screen capture of the box.

  • Can't open PSD file to layers in Illustrator CS6 for editing?

    I need to edit a Photoshop PSD file that has layers.
    I believe vector lines can be edited in Photoshop but I only have PS Elements and can only edit the text.
    I do have Illustrator CS6 but when I open the PSD file it will not open to separate layers, even if I choose this in the open options.
    Maybe Illustrator cannot do this?
    Can anyone advise please?
    Thank you,
    Mike.

    Although I can export as PSD from Illustrator - will PS read the layered files though?
    If you set up the file accordingly: yes.
    You have to take special care of some stuff. Search for it on this forum or the manual. It has been discussed here.

    Forget about EPS. And especially in this context.

    Yes, but only clipping masks. And only simple paths.

  • Upgrading from CS3 Design Premium to Illustrator CS6 standalone

    Greetings,
    I have Adobe CS3 Design Premium (I think-- it's one of the complete suites that includes Illustrator CS3). My license is an Education license. I also own Photoshop CS6 (standalone) with an Education license.
    I'm wondering if i can purchase an upgrade to the standalone (not Creative Cloud) version of Illustrator CS6, at the Education price? If so what would the price be and how would I purchase it?
    Thanks.

    NorthOEK,
    I am afraid the educational license of any kind is (still) outside any upgrade system.
