Color error message when opening a photoshop file in Illustrator

I have a photo of the airport, with blue sky etc.  I would like to make it all one color as a background image.  I want the background of the photo to be light orange wit the building to be darker orange.  Is there a way to do that in Illustrator?  To try out different colors foreground and background or do I have to do it in Photoshop?  How do I fill all the colors in the photo to just the two colors?  This photo is untouched.
I also have a photo that has photoshop effects.  When I open it in Illustrator I get an error message.  It says "the document's embedded color profile does not match the current CMYK working space.  The current CMYK color management policy is to discard profiels that do not match the working space.
I have the start of a web page in my working space.  With this photo I think I am opening it in a separate page but it won't let me.  I probably will use the untouched photo but I'm curious why its giving me the message.  My workspace should be in RGB web safe colors.  Is that why it won't let me open the CMYK photoshop file?   I guess it has non-web safe colors but my thought was to change it to all web safe colors but maybe that is way too hard in Illustrator?
thankx,

You can color a grayscale tiff in Illustrator by simply selecting it then selecting a color you want.
I would think if these are two spot colors and you really want two different oranges you would want to clip the building either in
Photoshop or Illustrator and place it on top of one another.
I would normally say do a duo tone but that would mix the two colors.
So this is how i would go about it in Illustrator
1. Import the image as a grayscale tiff or import it and convert it to a grayscale by going to Edit>Edit Colors>Convert to Grayscale
2. then select the background color.
3. then copy the image and paste in front Command C and then Command F and select the darker orange color
4. with the pen tool create an a path that is the shape of the building exactly. Make sure it is a closed path.
5. then select the path and the top image the one you paste in front.
6. then go to Object>Clipping Path>Make
7 I would then group the two
with this method you have to good with the pen tool, but that is true of Illustrator in general.
now with the CMYK image it is allowing you to place it but is simply warning you of the conversion taking place.
What you should do is select in your Photoshop and Illustrator color settings to sRGB since this is probably the space you want.
and convert the CMYK into a RGB file which is what you should have done in the first place.
So open it i Photoshop convert to sRGB and  replace it in Illustrator.
All should be fine.

  • "uses a file type that is blocked from opening in this version" error message when opening a *.doc file with Word already running

    Several customers running different versions of Office 2011 (14.4.1-14.4.5) on OSX varying from 10.7.5 to 10.9.5, running on various kinds of hardware (iMac/MacBook Pro/MacBook Air) of various ages are having issues opening *.doc files if the Word is already open. The error message that gets displayed is, "XXXX.doc uses a file type that is blocked from opening in this version"
    When the customer tries to open the same file via File-Open, she gets "The file is locked for editing. you can open the file as read-only".
    When trying to do so, she gets "Word cannot open this document. The document might be in use, the document might not be a valid Word document, or the file name might contain invalid characters".
    If Word gets Force-quit, the same document opens without any problems.
    1. Repairing Disk permissions was ran several times. and the volume was found to be OK.
    2. I have noticed that in this scenario either deleting the normal.dotm or com.microsoft.word.plist (~/Library/Preferences) sometimes resolves the issue, sometimes it doesn’t. There is no pattern to follow. All versions of Office are affected, the fully updated and the non-updated ones.
    3. I have tried completely removing the suite using Office 2011 Uninstall.app and/or Remove Office 2011 Uninstaller.pkg, then going through customer's library and manually removing all the Office references.
    4. None of these systems had Office 2008 in the past.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Reboot both the Mac and the server. Word opens .DOC files and Excel opens .XLS files. As you have found out by copying the files to the computer. It is the connection between the 2 computer that is causing the error.

  • Error message when opening a .cp file (version issue?)

    I am using Captivate 4.0 and exporting to a .swf file.
    My project partner is using Captivate 3.0
    I sent her my Captivate file to use as a template for our project and when she tries to open it, she gets an error message:
    Adobe Captivate could not open "file.cp" because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)
    I didn't send the file to her via email.  I uploaded it to our shared server.
    Any ideas? 
    As always, thank you in advance!
    mon.mac

    Sorry, but Captivate is not (and has never been) backwards compatible. In CP4 you can open a CP3-file, but it will be converted to the CP4-format (you get a warning message). You can not open a CP4-file in CP3. What is possible (but you have to install both versions CP3 and CP4) is copying slide per slide to an new, blank CP3 project.
    No luck,

  • Error message when opening CS6 files in earlier versions

    PSCS6 with 12.0.4 update.  Mac OSX 10.8.2   16GB 1333 Mhz DDR3  543 GB Available
    I've recently become aware that other people are getting an error message when opening many of my my psd files if they are on earlier versions of PS and also on PSE, (including the latest version).  The message is:
    This document contains unknown data which will be discarded to keep layers editable.  To preserve the original appearance instead, choose flatten to load composite data as a flattened image. 
    Three options follow:  Flatten  Cancel  Keep Layers
    When 'keep layers' is selected the file opens as normal.  However, people with much earlier version (CS version 8) don't get the option to keep layers, and the layers are flattened when the document is opened.
    I still have CS5 on my mac, and I find that if I take my finished file into CS5 and save it there, the customer does not get the message above, and the file behaves as it should.  Those on very early version of PS can also open the files without any issues. 
    I've been using CS6 since it was released and have had to delve through all my files and save them in CS5.  Not every file is affected and I've been unable to find a common thread.
    Hoping someone can throw some light on this.

    This similar to the message one should get in an older version of photoshop such as photoshop 7.
    If one presses ok instead of read composite that might preserve the layers with the original look.
    But sometimes if a layer blending mode or some other feature is used an earlier versions of photoshop doesn't have, reading the composite is the only way to preserve the look of the image.
    You said your using shape layers?
    If they are shape layers you didn't use a stroke from the tool options bar?
    Can you post an example of the image with the layers panel visible that you get that message with?
    I guess your using photoshop cs6 with the 13.01 update?

    The error message is "The specified module could not be found. C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Version Cue CS4\Client\4.0.1\Version Cue.DLL

    I tried what you suggested and it did not help.  whenever I try to open either photoshop or bridge, I get a message saying that there was a problem loading scripts the last time that Bridge was open and do I want to try loading them again?  If I click yes, I get that same error message that I reported in my original question and photoshop/bridge will immediately close.  If I click no, photoshop and bridge will open but it will not let me open a raw format document.  It seems like Adobe Camera Raw is not being recognized.   One of the updates I downloaded was an update to Adobe Camera Raw so the functionality is there, it just can't be accessed.  do you think I should try to uninstall and re-install Photoshop again?

    Is your media card formatted? 
    If you aren't able to add/remove media, try formatting the card as shown in KB10527
    If you currently have photos on the card, try to move them to the computer first as formatting the card will delete all data.

    Try 2 solutions: 1.  Press both Ctrl and Shift keys then double click on ITunes.  Hold keys down until a box appears on screen indicating ITunes is starting in "safe mode'.  left click on 'continue" and ITunes will run without closing.
    2;  Start ITunes normally, then  after loading, choose "Match" and then touch "stop" beforre step 3 , Uploading songs...",  runs for more than a few seconds.  The code problems are in Match;  the uploading function in Match.  ITunes won't crash if you stop Match soon enough!

  • When opening a Photoshop file with Bridge, how can I control which version of Photoshop the file wil

    When opening a Photoshop file fthrough Bridge, how can I control which version of Photoshop the file will open in?
    I store my PSD files adjacent to the original RAW file from which it was derived.
    If I open the file folder and double click on that PSD file, it opens in CS6. But,if I use Bridge (CS6) to navigate to and open the same file, it first opens Photoshop CS5 and then opens that PSD file in CS5.
    How can I control which Photoshop will open a file I select when opening it through Bridge?.

    Interesting, but it doesn't give a clue what I'm supposed to do. No Photoshop ducuments listed.
    Look at the PSD file on the location Curt provided and search for Photoshop Document. Next to it ideally should show Adobe Photoshop CS6 if you have Bridge CS6 open. Click on it to provide the fly out menu and choose the correct Photoshop from the list.
    But probably something went wrong with your install. By default Bridge chooses the latest version of PS to open its file in.
    Maybe a reset of the preferences might also help you. Can you provide more details about OS version etc.
    And do you have a good reason for keeping your Raw and finished files in the same location. Personally I keep them apart and use a proper file name convention (yyyymmdd and details) so I can easily search for the DNG files in my archive if I needed them but I don't make mistakes in opening the wrong one
