CDE 1.2 Style Manager - Color Palette File Location

Trying to find out where the Color (palette, modify, custom) files are located so that I may edit or disable some of the colors that won't work well on certain brands of our flat monitors. Our applications are picking up this information and color styling as well, which is making the problem worse - particular with light text colors like white on light backgrounds like aqua, etc (the users are not intelligent enough to just change the palette to something more readable). Thanks for any help you can lend.

Sorry to cause confusion, I am pretty good at that :)
Log into Shared Services, Expand Foundation, you will see Calculation Manager, select and expand planning, then you should see the apps and under each application all the Calculation Manager artifacts for that planning application.
You will need to export the Calc Manager artifacts as well as Planning application ones, they are separate products, it can be done in one go by using tabs and then clicking export.
If you have a read of http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/epm_migrate_planning_app.pdf it should give you a good idea.
Cheers

Where are Pantone color library file locations for InDesign CC?

I cannot believe how difficult it is to find this information. It should be a quick search in the regular Help system.
I'd really like to find the file locations for Illustrator CC and Photoshop CC too, because I need to update my Pantone libraries, but every place I can find to save them does not seem to be the default location, so I end up with a really long dropdown menu of strangely duplicated library names, and I have no idea how to clean it up or where the program is looking to give me that list.
As far as I can tell, the default libraries are located whereever that first set is. The lower sets must be somewhere else, but I don't know where, because I've deleted all Pantone sets but one that I could find, but I can still see them (and the other non-pantone color books) duplicated in the lower sets.
Please help! Also, Adobe, if you see this, this information should be READILY and EASILY found through the main Help menu in any Adobe product.

This was the correct answer:
Laubender Jun 2, 2014 12:18 AM (in response to Maurice Castelbuono)
@Maurizio – the standard settings, the joboption files with the brackets like [PDF/X-1a:2001] are stored inside the inDesign app for InDesign CC 9.2.1.
The path for these would be:
/Applications/Adobe InDesign CC.app/Contents/MacOS/Resources/Adobe PDF/settings/mul
or with a Japanese version of InDesign:
/Applications/Adobe InDesign CC.app/Contents/MacOS/Resources/Adobe PDF/settings/japan
If you do a right-click on the InDesign app you can show them with "Show Package Contents" options.
All other PDF joboptions that you are creating are relative to your current User Library. They are stored in:
~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PDF/Settings
Where the tilde sign at the beginning indicates the home of the currently used user.
You can access ~/Library, if you press the alt key when accessing the "Go To" menu in the Finder. Otherwise it's invisible.

Project Manager Trimmed Temp File Location

Hello,
I recently tried to trim down a 100GB project. I had 8GB left on my harddrive, and the project manager said the final project would be 7GB, so I took the chance and started trimming.
Unfortunately, I ran out of diskspace during the trim, and the Project Manager aborted the action. Fair enough. However, when I checked my diskspace in finder, I only had 100MB free space. That means the temp file, that the project manager created while trimming the project, is still stored somewhere. But I have no idea where it is stored or what it is named.
I'm on a Mac 10.6.4, CS5.
Do you know where (or how) to look?
Thanks,

Where are your Scratch Disks located?
What was the Destination Folder, that you directed PrPro to archive your Project?
Note that performance of a HDD begins to decline at ~ 70% of capacity, and falls off sharply, as one fills the drive. It can also contribute to premature failure of the HDD. Sounds like it's time to get larger, or more HDD's.
Good luck,

Manage library - seperate file locations

Hi, i use itunes for windows 7.5.0.
thx to growing podcasts and music library use my disk1 where my (so far one and only) itunes library is full
So i would like to tranfer the podcasts+video files to a seperate folder on disk2.
Is there any way of physically moving the files but keeping central directory (catalogue, playlists, etc)?
I noticed that when ADDing new titles (music, video) there is an option /a with creating a central copy and /b with only a directory entry into library - so my goal should be possible
How do i manage to get around duplicate entries (which happen if i just move the files to disc 2 - which ones by the way? - and add them back to the library from new location)?
PS An unrelated but similar question:
my libray is still small (c. 20GB) I noticed that new generation ipods have 80/160 GB
If i bought one for the family could we use three seperate itune libraries on one ipod (similar to a shared pc usage, i open my ipod library, my son his, ... and each ipod subsection sync with a matching itunes library on a PC)?

{quote}So i would like to tranfer the podcasts+video files to a seperate folder on disk2.{quote}
One way to do it is consolidating your Library using iTunes. It will copy all the files from wherever they are to the iTunes Music folder location that you have set in your preferences (Prefs, Advanced tab, general tab, music folder location).
Before trying any of this, backup (at minimum) your iTunes Library files (by default in My Documents\My Music\iTunes).
In other words, set your iTunes Music folder to the location you want on "disk2", then, from the "Advanced" menu, select "Consolidate Library". All the current items in your Library will be updated to play from the new location.
Since iTunes copies the files, you will have to manually delete the original files (after you're sure the copy was performed correctly).
BTW, you do not have to have the preference checked for "Keep iTunes Music folder organized", nor the "Copy files to iTunes Music..." for this to work.

Exporting Objects Style Manager file? And Overriding Preset Defaults?

Hi,
We received our upgrade of Captivate 5 from Captivate 4. I noticed the Captivate 5 does not use design template as it is replaced with Object Style Manager. I have a question, how do I override objects styles preferences presented to us from a vendor with my department's standard design template? Also, we have two copies of licensed Captivate softwares installed (One in Austin, TX and one in Washington DC).
What I am asking is it possible to export a full Style Manager file from one location and share this file with other computer where 2nd copy is installed? I don't want to export INDIVIDUALLY as I am looking for a full, and complete export?
Secondly, when we receive a Captivate project from a vendor, they have their own object design preferences and we don't want to use their preferences if we present this simulation onto our Learning Content Management System (LCMS) as we want to override preset defaults with our standard design template, is it also possible?
I want to make sure that we exhaust all of our options before we downgrade to Captivate 4 from Captivate 5.
Thanks for taking your time reading this and assistance in advance!

As you've noted, Cp5 doesn't use Design Templates, and neither does it have anything exactly equivalent to CSS or style sheets that can be applied quickly and easily across multiple projects, as you can do with web pages.
You can export all styles from a current Captivate 5 project and import the entire style set into another Cp5 project. However, in current Cp5 functionality the imported styles do not overwrite existing styles that may have the same name, and this includes the default styles. What you end up with is a lot of additional styles that have the same name with a number appended to the end to differentiate them from existing styles. Do this once or twice and things can get very messy very quickly.
We've logged a request for Adobe to consider adding the ability for authors to choose whether or not to overwrite existing styles with identical names on import. Hopefully this will happen soon. For the present however, you need to work around the issue as best you can.
If your vendor sends you a project with an existing set of styles that are customised versions of the default styles, my suggestion is that you create your own style set with unique names (e.g. a two or three letter prefix to identify them in the Object Style Manager lists) and then import the entire set as a single file into your projects.
I'm afraid that the bad news is that, since you cannot overwrite styles on import, you will need to apply your new set of styles one by one. You can use the Apply This Style To option to change all objects of a given style over to your new style, but it's still a rather tedious process.
There is no downgrade option from Captivate 4 to Captivate 5. You cannot save a Captivate 5 file as Captivate 4 format. No Captivate version has ever been able to do this as far as I can recall.

Try your luck with the Magic Eight Ball. That will give you just as reliable an answer as you will get here.

Color palette in Character/Paragraph styles

In AI CS5, where does the Character Style Options dialog pull it's colors from for the Character Color list (see image)?
I'm working in a RGB document, yet I see predominantly CMYK colors. I thought it might be the default swatches palette so I closed it and opened my custom color palette, but I'm still seeing the wrong set of colors.
I'd like to add or edit colors in the list, or load one of my palettes, but I can't figure out how or if it's possible.
Can anyone help?
Chris

Chris,
The colors are from the Swatches panel. If you're getting CMYK colors in the list then you have the CMYK default swatches (or other CMYK swatches), not the RGB swatches. Click on the Swatch Libraries menu, go to Default swatches, select Basic RGB. Load those into the Swatches panel, then open the Character Style Options. The RGB colors should now be in the list.

Color Palette Extension

My stylesheets tend to get long at times and I find I am
constantly fishing around looking for colors to use. So I asked a
friend at work about it and he created a dremweaver extension that
will pull all of your colors from your css ot html fil and display
them all in one place.
Another cool feature is the ability to import the colors from
the web.
I thought it was a cool extension to share, completely free
just install it and let us know what you think!

That *is* interesting. Thanks for explaining what you meant by "color migration".
According to this Adobe resource, an earlier version of the Color Palette panel (v.1.2) shipped with CS3—which might explain why it reappears after reinstalling the application. (The one you downloaded from fwkit.com was presumably v.1.25.)
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/fireworks/articles/color_palette_panel.edu.html
A while back, I sought out an earlier version of this panel for use with FW8, but I was disappointed with the functionality and haven't used it much. It's just conjecture on my part, but I don't think the panel would be causing the "color migration" problem, particularly if it's not active in your workspace. I wonder if it's a color management issue. I'm thinking that Fireworks doesn't deal with color profiles, whereas Illustrator does. If an Illustrator file is saved with an ICC profile and then imported into FW, some translation might occur. Try saving the file without an ICC profile before importing to Fireworks, and see if the results are better. Also, have you experimented with sharing color palettes between the two apps? At the very least, this might be a way to fix those "color migration" problems with a minimum of time loss.
Also, don't forget FW's Find panel (accessible through Edit>Find...), which allows you to search and replace colors.

CS3 Character Style Changes Color On Save

Hi All-
I have a CS3 file where I imported character styles (using the character styles palette -> load character styles) from another file. I apply that style to a type layer, it looks fine (i.e. is applied correctly), then I save the file, and close. Upon opening the file that char. style's color is changed from white to a spot color. Any idea why?
System: AI CS3 on Windows XP 32bit
Thanks in advance.
Tom

Hi,
I had a similar problem, which was caused by type having "overrides"
when applying Character Styles.
This is indicated by an asterisk appearing in the Character style name in the palette) when you select the type.
This has something to do with applying a new style to type which already
has some appearance attributes.
Found that the solution was to clear overrides when applying a character style to selected type, by Alt-clicking on the new character style.
Then, hopefully, the character style of the type is saved properly, and displays correctly the next time you open the drawing.
Bye...

Indexed Color Palette Bitmap Possible?

Hi. I am writing a Karaoke CDG player and hit a problem. The the CDG graphic data uses color palettes. The pixel data is an index into a color palette of 16 colors. The player works but some songs use fade type effects and other tricks by changing the color palette quickly over time. The way I have this implemented right now is to maintain a seperate array containing the colors and lookup the color for each pixel and call setPixel in a BitmapData object. It works fast enough during normal playback but it's way too slow to update the palette and call set pixel on the image data. Is there a way to actually use palette based bitmaps or can you think of a faster way of transforming individual colors in an existing bitmap without calling getPixel/setPixel. Thanks.

I managed to find a way to solve my problem using the paletteMap method of the BitmapData class.
BTW not sure if there is a standard area to publish community code but the Karaoke CDG component is available if anyone wants it. The component basically plays and renders Karaoke mp3/cdg files.

Make color palette from an image

Guess I didn't phrase the question right... will try again =
I did a painting
I want to do another painting using the full color palette from that image (usually swatches in Corel Painter which does this)
No indexed color
RGB or CMYK palette
working with photoshop CS3
the painting I did shown below
publisher liked it - need to do more art using same colors - without picking them one at a time from the image

I use both (Painter and Photoshop)...
For some reason (and some of the beta testers involved in developing Painter have said this) Painter is not really stable... seems to suffer from a memory leak - meaning after a period of time it loses memory and will not even open an image it created (even with a boatload of Ram - which it can't seem to manage).
     The solution is to reboot. Also, even though I may work with Painter, I always do final color edits/setup for publication using Photoshop (including my 3D renders) -
     You are right about the capabilities of Painter, but Photoshop remains the big daddy of color work.
Thanks for your explanations... I'm decidedly low-key tech...
     I doodle, paint, etc. I took up digital because I hated getting dog and cat hair in my paintings and the nightmare of revising (client edits) to airbrush work - and publishers are all digital, so I send them digital files - makes all of us happy

Animated gif changes color palette while playing

Hi everyone,
I've been creating animted gifs using Matlab and the ImageMagick suite (convert). If I open the gifs in Preview, the color comes out fine in each frame; however i I use Quicktime (which is necessary, that's what we use for presentations) the color palette will change as the frames play.
I just got the newest version of Quicktime, hoping that it would solve the problem, but it didn't. Any ideas?

I'm not familiar to the software but I can guess what is happening.
Too many colors. A GIF is 8 bit (256 colors) but some of them are not used by all software. Windows and Mac's are different.
Does the software offer a way to reduce the number of colors used? Can you get it down to 8 bit? Can you discard unused colors with some other software?
Have you considered building an image sequence movie? These allow many different images formats and support up to 32 bit formats (millions of colors).
QuickTime Pro ($30) can import a series of images as a movie. The file size is much smaller than any video format used today (just the total of the images file size).

INDD to PDF: web-safe color palette?

Context: currently, the Google Docs Viewer/Embedder, when used to display a PDF in a browser, heavily downsamples images in the PDF resulting in grisly color changes and posterization. This has been discussed for a long time elsewhere on the web (example) and is something Google might eventually deal with.
I assume Google's intention was to hack down bandwidth usage, which I don't begrudge them, but the results stand out glaringly in an otherwise vibrant WWW. Embedded fonts work fine, and the only other visual/layout errors can be with some more advanced design effects—unless they are flattened down to Acrobat 5 compatibility.
With the nasty color changes, what I believe I'm seeing is a re-processing of the images in the PDF with ye olde web-safe color palette. Or maybe its paleolithic predecessor. FYI the source PDF is unaffected. And FYI, yes, I am aware of many other options for embedding a PDF in a web page; I'd like to try and solve this one.
My thinking is this: if I can output my InDesign file such that images are converted more gracefully to a web-safe palette, and possibly with more satisfactory color dithering, then the results via the Google Docs Viewer/Embedder might be improved, more predictable, good enough for now.
I know how to do this with Photoshop, and I assume it's a Photoshop engine working behind the scenes in/for InDesign when processing images, so I'm hoping this is attainable.
Semi-educated guesses:
That a suitable color profile could be created and selected when outputting either PDF or PS, resulting in 255-color (indexed) RGB images in the final PDF layout.
That the long way is to make alternate versions of each image used in the layout, swap them (such as with relink to file extension, e.g. GIF for TIF), and output a version specifically for embedding.
Thanks in advance for any creative thinking.
Edit: it's looking like the limit is far fewer colors, possibly 16. Gross. But I'm still curious about the possibility of a method for this, as it could have other applications.

After getting both your replies, I went back and experimented some more. I am creating a pdf for a b&w book interior, and it is setup as an ID book, with two files. I was trying to generate the pdf from the book.indb file without the individual book indd files being open. That resulted in the screen in my initial question.
I went back and doubleclicked both of my book indd files and selected both, then generated the pdf from the book.indb file. This time I got the proper choices Document CMYK - U.S. Web Coated ....

Managing Color with LR and the Canon Pixma Pro 9000 10.1.2.0 printer driver

I would like help understanding how to manage color in LIghtroom with the Canon Pro 9000 10.1.2.0 printer driver. When I ask LR to manage color in the Printing Module Color Management Profile, it warns me to turn off the printer managing color. But I cannot find where to do this in the driver.
The Color Options menu in the driver gives an additional choice for "Color Mode", but there are no choices here except "Standard", "Linear" or "Tone". The only Canon documentation I can find shows a choice to turn off printer management here, but this driver doesn't give me that choice.
If I look in the driver's "Color Matching", I see only two choices: ColorSync or Vendor Matching. ColorSync brings up Canon profiles like "Pro9000 Fine Art Photo Rag", but selecting one of these gives a warning of unexpected results. This pushes me back to Vendor Matching. But is this turning off the printer driver and leaving it to Lightroom?
Right now, I am getting the best results from choosing "Managed by Printer" in LR's Color Management Profile, and setting "Color Matching" in the Canon driver to "Vendor Matching". If I instead choose one of the Canon profiles in LR's Color Management Profile (and it tells me to turn off the printer managing, which I cannot do), then my prints have a slightly bluer color cast.
Is there a way to turn off the printer managing color in this driver and turn this over to LR, or am I getting the best results possible with the printer managing color anyway?
I am using a 2.4 GHz Intel iMac with OS 10.5.4, 2 gigs SDRAM, standard ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro video card. I downloaded the Canon printer driver from their website, so I assume this is the latest. there is another driver available at their website, but for a lower bit depth. Should I abandon the 10.1.2.0 for this other one? I work with Nikon D300 NEFs, and I assumed the higher bit depth printer driver will work better with these images.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Dear DYP: Unfortunately, those choices are not available in the 10.1.2.0 Canon Printer driver. There are only 2 radio buttons, ColorSync and Vendor Matching. ColorSync then provides a drop-down menu, with no choice for turning off the printer driver.
But I think I found the answer. I found a deeply buried FAQ on the Canon site (no direct URL; sorry!) Here it says:
"Issue: How do I disable the printer driver color correction when using the CUPS driver in Mac OS X 10.5.x?
Solution: Change color management options for printing (Mac OS X 10.5.x)
Change color management options for printing
Open the document you wish to print.
Click 'File' and then click 'Print.'
Note: If the Print window contains only two pop-up menus, click the triangle beside the Printer pop-up menu for expanded options.
Select 'Color Matching' from the Print Options pop-up menu.
Select 'ColorSync' if you want the application you are using, and not the printer driver, to control the color management of the printed output.
Note: If you are using Adobe Photoshop CS2 or CS3 and have selected 'Let Photoshop Determine Colors', the 'Color Matching' from the Print Options pop-up menu is automatically set to 'ColorSync.'
Select 'Vendor Matching' if you want the printer driver to control the color management of the printed output."
I tried it, and chose "Automatic" as a choice in ColorSync. The choices under "Color Options" are then greyed out, implying that the Canon driver is now turned off.
The prints came out great, with no color cast, and a little brighter than the printer managed prints.
So, Vendor Managed means printer manages, ColorSync means LR manages.
Thanks, everyone, for keeping me going on tracking this down!
