CMYK/Pantone differences between CS3 and CS6

I have a file that was created in CS3.  Pantone 534 C was used and the CMYK value that was shown was 100, 80, 30, 5.  When I open the file in CS6 and choose Pantone 534 C, the CMYK value is shown as 98, 85, 36, 27.  Am I going to get the same tone of blue when I print the file from the CS6 version as I did when I printed the file from the CS3 version?
In essence, is the PMS tone that was in CS3 the same PMS tone that is in CS6?  I'm assuming it is, but wanted to confirm.  And can anyone explain why the CMYK values have changed between the two versions if I'm using the same PMS number?

J,
My problem is, which CMYK values should I use to most closely match the Pantone 534C color?  Should I use the CMYK values in CS3 or CS6 (because they are different numbers)?
I believe someone from Pantone would vote for CS6 because they have changed the values to more closely match the solid colours.
But the proof of the pudding is the eating, so you should try both and see what you think.
Some solid Pantone inks are impossible to match closely with CMYK, and who says that the closer match (by the parameters chosen) is the better/prettier/nicer colour?

  • A question about a difference between CS3 and CS6 (sorry if it's wrong addressed)

    When I place in InDesign (both CS3 and CS6) a transparent tif image (CMYK) there is a difference between those created in Photoshop CS3 (correct) and CS6 (white background). Why?

    EDIT: With the new InDesign CS6 update (8.1) Photoshop CS6 tifs with transparency import correctly now. Thank you

  • Difference between CS3 and CS4 when placing images, percentage not kept

    There is some kind of difference between CS3 and CS4 when placing images. The images I've dealt with right now were vector images but it might apply to all kinds of images.
    When replacing an existing image, the CS4 behaviour is to let the image fill up the frame. In CS3 the percentage was set to 100% as default (the % you see when selecting the image, not the container).
    Also when replacing an impage in CS4, the "inner" image frame is kept, while in C3, the percentage was kept.
    Is there some kind of placement preferences / settings to let CS4 act the same wat as CS3 did, when placing an image?
    -- Andreas

    Yes, the behavior was changed in CS4 (and many users, like me, prefer the new system).
    If you click and drag a loaded image place cursor the entire image will be be scaled to fit the proportionally drawn frame -- a huge timesaver if you mostly place uncropped art. If you want 100% of the image at 100% scale, just click and release -- same as before, or as before you can pre-draw a frame and place into it and your image will come in cropped at 100% (unless you've changed the fitting options for the frame before placing).

  • What is the difference between elements and cs6

    What the difference between Photoshop CS6 and Elements?

    vitaltheatre wrote:
    Photoshop Elements is NOT the same at Photoshop CS6.  Photoshop 6 has transitioned into Creative Cloud (CC)
    No there are many versions of Photoshop old versions do not go away. Photoshop is an evolving program each evolution receives a new name and a version number the version number is important when you develop code for Photoshop. So Photoshop 6 is version 6 that evolved to Photoshop 7 version 7 to CS version 8 to CS2 version 9 to CS3 version 10 to CS4 version 11 to CS 5 version 12 to CS6 version 13 to CC version 14 to CC2014 version 15. All exist.  Version 15 is not backwards compatible with any previous version of Photoshop feature and support have been removed and new features and support added.
    CS6 though is a bit odd for the are different versions of CS6 the is the perpetual version and the subscription versions and there not the same all do not have the same features.  If you want to split hairs there are actually 5 version of CS6 and if you want to count 32 bit and 64 bit modules there are 8.  There are only 3 version numbers though for CS6 wit all update applied.  Mac perpetual version 13.0.6 Windows perpetual version 13.0.1.3 and the Mac and PC subscription version 13.1.2.  The perpetual versions can be standard or extended Photoshop wher the subscription version is Photoshop extended.
    By the same token there are many version of Photoshop Elements.  All version of element  do not many of the features that Photoshop in general has.  Its a lot cheaper and it has much less function then Photoshop.  For many  Elements has all the function that they want.  There is less to learn and Element has some hand holding feature built in for the novice user that is something Photoshop does not have....

  • Differences between CS3 and CS4 files?

    Could you please explain what was the differences between "Adobe illustrator cs4 eps files" and "Adobe illustrator cs3 eps files"?
    Thank for looking into this.

    The difference would be that CS 4 would support the features in AI CS 4 and CS 3 would not support those features.

  • Difference between CC and CS6

    Alright, I am a new user to the Creative Cloud and would like to know which version of photoshop is better. What are the differences between the two verisons? Which should I instal? Etc.
    Thank you!

    You can install both. Yhey run independently.
    There are many differences that range from simple JDI features to major processing and tool changes.
    If you havent used Photoshop at all, and that is why you are a new subscriber then of course you can't go wrong with the latest CC version.

  • Display Performance Difference between CS3 and CS4

    I have a computer running CS3 and a computer running CS4. When I place an image in InDesign CS3, it looks way better than when I place it in CS4. The display performance for both computers are set exactly the same. Raster and Vector images are set to proxy, transparency is set to medium quality, Anti Aliasing is turned on.
    The CS4 computer:
    Processor Name: Dual-Core Intel Xeon
    Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz
    Number Of Processors: 2
    Memory 4GB
    System Version: Mac OS X 10.5.8 (9L31a)
    CS3 computer:
    Processor Name: PowerPC G5
    Processor Speed: 2 GHz
    Number Of Processors: 2
    Memory 4GB
    System Version: Mac OS X 10.5.8 (9L31a)
    What am I missing? It is virtually every image.

    "You can adjust the quality of the the display itself without altering the name of the setting."
    Tried that. The end result is viewing images at the higher quality that slows down the machine.
    "Also, the size and resolution of images plays a role in how large the previews are, and their quality."
    The difference is very noticeable when the exact same image is placed at the exact same sizes in InDesign CS3 and CS4. Everything in the workflow remained the same, except the changing of InDesign files.

  • Whats the difference between CS3 and CS4?

    I am currently using Dreamweaver CS3 and am curious about CS4
    enhancements. What features are new in CS4? Is it worth the money
    to upgrade?

    I read the above feature list without getting the answer. So
    I went to the next step and downloaded the CS4 trial version. My
    first impressions was: -"Where is everything? It is all grey, no
    functions maybe?.
    But that was not the case it was just a matter of new user
    interface. One very nice touch was a drop down where it was
    possible to select if you wanted "Classic" design look, which then
    was similar to CS3. But it was also possible to chose "Coder" and
    all the design stuff was minimized and the code window expanded.
    Quite nice actually.
    Well, I may put in some more comments later, when I have had
    some time to play with CS4, but I wanted to post a second link to
    "Whats New" and more importantly, what is removed;
    For
    new features...
    ...and for old removed ones:
    quote:
    Deprecated features
    The following features have been deprecated for Dreamweaver
    CS4:
    - Timelines
    - Web services
    - Layout mode
    - Site Map view
    - Java Bean support
    - Adobe® Flash elements (Image Viewer)
    - Adobe® Flash text and Adobe® Flash buttons
    - ASP.NET and JSP server behaviors and recordsets

  • Both Indesign CS3 and CS6 installed on the same PC?

    Is it possible to have two Indesign versions [CS3 and CS6] installed on one desktop PC [running Windows XP]?
    I would only use one version at a time. The problem is I’ve been working with [and would like to continue working with] freelancers who still use CS3; but I’ll soon be hiring others who have migrated to CS6.
    Thanks in advance for any help you can give me on this question.

    Thanks for the reply. I’m far from being a sophisticated user of Indesign. I do export .indd files to PDF on occasion. As for  colors, I occasionally use the swatch tool, although I couldn’t tell you the difference between RGB and CYMK. Hopefully I could make adjustments to the CS3 version for any slight changes incurred by installing CS6 on the same PC.

  • I would like Adobe to develop a programme that sits between Lightroom and CS6

    I have Lightroom 1, 2, 3 & 4 (which I can't use at the moment because it is too slow) I also have CS3.
    I am an enthusiastic amatuer and don't need the catalogue facility in Lightroom (which can be exasperating at times) and I don't need 90% of the stuff on CS6 as I do most of my editing in Adobe Camera Raw.
    I would like to see Adobe develop a programme that sits between Lightroom and CS6 where the Lightroom  layout is kept much the same only instead of a catalogue have a browser in its place, I would also like to see the clone tool & the healing brush replaced with proper ones that work like the ones in CS6, I would also like to see an adjustment brush with a facility to invert my selection or some sort of masking, these are the tools I use most often in photoshop.
    Does anyone feel the same as me and if so how do we contact Adobe to let them know.

  • Difference between fl and flash libraries?

    (new to cs3 - java expert...)
    I'm trying to write some action script to set the default
    focus of a text component when the applications run...
    It seems there is a fl.managers.FocusManager that
    could/should do it... but for some reason, I cannot import that
    package into my AS. I can import an arbitrary
    flash.<something>.somthing.
    Question - In the AS editor, there is a menu (plus sign (+)
    icon) with all(?) the available packages/classes, languange
    constructs, etc. Should I be able to use them all? Is there a
    difference between "fl" and "flash" - assuming "fl" is for Flash
    just like the product logo "fl"?
    thanks a bunch.

    Craig,
    > Is there a difference between "fl" and "flash" -

    The fl packages are top level classes based on ECMAScript,
    while the
    flash packages are specifically Flash Player APIs.
    > for some reason, I cannot import
    [fl.managers.FocusManager]
    > into my AS
    Are you writing timeline-based code, or a class file? Have
    you tried
    the sample code shown in the FocusManager entry of the
    ActionScript 3.0
    Language Reference?

    There is a null in java, but no NULL. null means no value. However, when assigning value, the following is different:Although the empty String has no special role. Null means, the referential type is not assigned (doesn't refer) to a specific object. The empty String is just another object though, so seeing it or pointing it out as something special when it actually isn't at all (no more special than new Integer(0) or new Object[0]) just adds to the confusion.

  • Difference between GUI_UPLOAD and WS_UPLOAD

    Hi,
    Please make me clear about the difference between GUI_UPLOAD and WS_UPLOAD. In which cases we need to use these modules...??
    Thanks,
    Satish

    I would suggest to always use the GUI_UPLOAD.  I say this because this is the function module which is used in the GUI_UPLOAD method of the class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES.   Really, you should probably use the class/method instead of the function module.
      data: filename type string.
      filename = p_file.
      call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_upload
             exporting
                  filename                = filename
                  filetype                = 'ASC'
             changing
                  data_tab                = iflatf
             exceptions
                  file_open_error         = 1
                  file_read_error         = 2
                  no_batch                = 3

  • Difference between char and varchar, also the difference between varchar2

    Hi,
    Can anyone explain me the difference between char and varchar, and also the difference between varchar and varchar2...

    Varchar2 is variable width character data type, so if you define column with width 20 and insert only one character to tis column only, one character will be stored in database. Char is not variable width so when you define column with width 20 and insert one character to this column it will be right padded with 19 spaces to desired length, so you will store 20 characters in the dattabase (follow the example 1). Varchar data type from Oracle 9i is automaticlly promoted to varchar2 (follow example 2)
    Example 1:
    SQL> create table tchar(text1 char(10), text2 varchar2(10))
    2 /
    Table created.
    SQL> insert into tchar values('krystian','krystian')
    2 /
    1 row created.
    SQL> select text1, length(text1), text2, length(text2)
    2 from tchar
    3 /
    TEXT1 LENGTH(TEXT1) TEXT2 LENGTH(TEXT2)
    krystian 10 krystian 8
    Example 2:
    create table tvarchar(text varchar(10))
    SQL> select table_name,column_name,data_type
    2 from user_tab_columns
    3 where table_name = 'TVARCHAR'
    4 /
    TABLE_NAME COLUMN_NAME DATA_TYPE
    TVARCHAR TEXT VARCHAR2
