Color Managment between Photoshop and Illustrator

Hi All,
Can anyone give me some tips of how to do the color managment in both Photoshop and Illustrator? I'm using Ai CS3 and PS CS3, although I have using CMYK mode in both software and having them in same Color profile setting, when using Ai to open a PS file the color is still different from what I see in PS. I would like to know is it possible to make it looks the same?
Thanks

Imo, you should establish a rather strict
color management strategy (examples):
1. Define in Photoshop:
RGB: AdobeRGB(98)
CMYK: ISOCoated
Gray: Black Ink ISO Coated (Custom profile)
Spot: Black Ink ISO Coated
2. Distribute this profile set by Bridge
3. Convert RGB images in Photoshop to CMYK
4. Define Color space in Illustrator as CMYK
5. Open the Photoshop file or the Tiff file in
Illustrator: here it looks as expected.
Problems: the CMYK file contains an ICC-profile
which is different to the global CMYK-definition.
Now it depends on the CMS strategies, and that's
the point where I'm usually giving up.

  • Slow swapping between Photoshop and Illustrator

    I have had this issue for a while now where it takes forever to swap between photoshop and illustrator, even if nothing is on my clipboard.  It also seems like it takes forever for photoshop to display its UI no matter what program I am working in prior to clicking on it on the task bar.  Once I am in the programs, they run fine until I try to save or print, at which point to slow to a crawl again.  It wasn't  always like this, but I had to do a system restore a couple of weeks ago to fix a bad boot file, and now the programs run like crap.  I have noticed that the person who worked here prior to me never uninstalled the previous versions of Design Standard.  So I am just tyring to figure out a way to speed things up because this should not be going this slow.
    My computer specs
    Windows XP Professional
    2.83ghz Quad Core Intel Processor
    4GB RAM (tech  under since XP pro only supports 3.3)
    GeForce 9800 512MB Vid card
    All my drivers have been updated and I did a registry cleaner which did not fix the problem.  So any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks

  • Difference between photoshop and illustrator effects?

    Under the effects menu in cs5, what is the difference between photoshop and illustrator effects? when do you use the photoshop ones?
    Thank you.

    The Photoshop effects are copies of similar effects from Photoshop. As such, they can only be applied to raster art, such as that edited in Photoshop. When you apply a Photoshop effect the Illustrator art you apply it to is rasterized in the background and the effect is applied to the rasterized version of the art. If you expand the appearance of anything with a Photoshop effect on it it will be rasterized. The other effects retain all or part of the vector art. When you expand the effect or save a PDF at least some of the original vector art will remain as vectors, although some effects (Drop Shadow, Blur, Feather, Inner Glow, etc.) to add rasterized art to the file.
    The rasterization is non-damaging, in that the original vector, type, or other objets remain fully editable. If you remove the effect the rasterization goes away. There is no dialogue for rasterization resolution in the effect; you set that in Effect > Document Raster Effect Settings.

  • Need help with Color Profiles between Photoshop and iPhoto

    Hey guys, I'm a photographer and have always used Photoshop in comination with iPhoto. I am having great difficulty lately with color profiles randomly changing within albums of pictures. I need all of my images to be in sRGB, but some somehow end up in Adobe RGB. It seems to happen at random. Apple seems to think it's an Adobe problem. Adobe isn't sure what to do. Anybody aware of any known issues between CS5 and iPhoto using OS 10.8.4 with regard to color profiles and how to fix them?

    I don't know inkscape, but this article seems to indicate that is will support cmyk.
    The article also says you need Scribus to then further process the SVG file.
    @shaunamm You need to open the SVGin Illustrator, not place it. But I doubt that you will be able to get the effects in Illustrator.

  • Color Management Confusion-Photoshop and monitors

    Ok, so I am asking this question because I am literally at my wits end with this color management stuff. I have become so confused in the past few days that I can’t even think straight. Anyway, I am hoping you all can help me “understand” how it all work. Let me start with some background information (since I know it will probably be asked)
    am a photographer, I utilize Lightroom 4 and CS3 (I know its old but I am planning on getting CS6 soon).
    put my pictures on the web that I will assume will be viewed on multiple different browsers.
    also will be sending my pictures to print at mpix or whcc. I may decide to print my own but haven’t really made that determination at this point.
    have a mac book pro that I work from.
    Ok, so I need to get a monitor to work with but I am unsure if I should just buy the thunderbolt mac monitor or get a wide gamut monitor. I have heard so many people say that the wide gamut monitors just messed them up. Also, I am bit confused on the nature of monitor profiles and how they work with photoshop and lightroom. I would assume the monitor applies a profile at all times? I also don’t understand the existence of the prophoto and wide gamut profiles for the mac monitors… they clearly are not wide-gamut monitors, so how do these profiles exist for them, and why would they be useful (if you set the profile to prophoto for example, it is all washed out as expected). Are these profiles “assigning” a profile to the color? I am assuming so because if they were converting them to just a standard rgb then you wouldn’t have the faded colors (correct?).
    I just am so nervous that I am going to create something that looks great in Lightroom or Photoshop but that looks awful on the browser, or worse, on a different monitor (standard monitor) and I would have no idea that it looked bad. Or, if I send something to a printer only to get a mess back.
    Also, please let me know if I correct in this. If I am in photoshop and I have an untagged image (send via a friend), and lets just say it is really a prophoto image (although my friend didn’t tell me) and I say to assign the prophoto profile (upon import to photoshop). If that truly is the correct profile, the image should look correct. Now consider two scenarios from there: 1) I embed that profile in the image, if I upload that to the web (I know to be cautious, you should always use srgb for web), if the person has a color managed browser, the image would properly appear, because the browser would recognize the profile (in this case “prophoto”) and convert it to whatever it needed to be. But, if it was not a color managed browser, I run the risk that the web browser will just assign a profile, which will wash the photo out most likely, correct? Ok… and scenario 2) after I get the image from my friend and assign the prophoto profile (since that is the correct profile the image was actually created in, although it was untagged when it was sent to me), the image will look correct… BUT, is photoshop displaying the prophoto profile, or is it converting to RGB for my viewing, or is my monitor converting it to rgb for my viewing? I guess I just don’t understand how the monitor fits into all of this. You HAVE to use your monitor to see your images, and since most monitors (including my current one are standard gamut) it would make sense that you actually can’t see anything in the prophoto profile, and you are truly looking at an srgb profile since that is all your monitor can display.
    Oh ya, and what benefit is the color match rgb? It seems everyone speaks of the srgb, prophoto, and argb.. but never some of the others.. so maybe I am just lost. I would even appreciate a link to some tutorials if you think those would be helpful.
    I am seriously confused.. I would really appreciate the help.

    I am not surprised you are confused about colour management because its a confusing subject. Luckily you own a Mac so you can get to grips with what the problems that colour management solves using the "colorSync Utility" and you will find this in Applications >> Utilities >> colorSync Utility. If you own a windows computer then I am sorry but you will be out of luck here and you should know better when you buy your next computer!! I am not sure why Apple gave us this application but it is really useful and all will help you understand Color Management.
    1. Launch Applications >> Utilities >> ColorSync Utility.
    2. You will see a list of "Installed ColorSync Profiles". Choose Adobe RGB 1998 which I hope you have chosen in you camera preferences.
    3.You will see a 3D representation of the Adobe 1998 Colour space. This represents all the colors this colour space will hold.
    4. Top left hand corner you will see a little arrow pointing down next to "Lab Plot". Click on this and a drop down menu will appear.
        Choose "Hold For Comparison"
    5. Now somewhere in the "Installed ColorSync Profiles" list you will find the profile for you monitor. Choose this.
    6. You will now see a new colour space inside the Adobe 1998 Colour space. If you have a cheap monitor the colour space will be small
    inside the Adobe 1998 profile. This means that you monitor cannot show you all the colors that are missing.
    7. Now choose a printer profile say, if you use them a profile for an Epson paper or any printer profile you have and you will see another profile in the Adobe 1998 box which shows you the only colors that your printer can print. If you like choose your monitor profile then hold for comparison then the printer profile and it will clearly show the mis match between you monitor and printer.
    8. Now choose SRGB and this will show you what colors a person using an average Windows monitor can see, poor people.
    So this is the problem, all devises can reproduce only a certain range of colors. The adobe 1998 profile does not show all the colors our eyes can see " choose Generic Lab" profile, then "hold for comparison" then Adobe 1998 and you will see Adobe 1998 is a small profile but is a good average of our collective colour vision.
    So how to solve all these missing colour problems. Well if you think of each devise, including you camera as speaking a different language from you monitor and printer then it is easy to understand that you need some sort of translator so that they all know exactly what colour is being talked bout pixel by pixel in an image. This is held in the ICC profile, but an ICC profile has o do more than this.
    Say you camera can produce a specific red we will call for demo purposes "001" and your monitor cannot produce it, how do you solve this? Well it is very easy to fool our eyes. Our eyes work by comparison so if the profile maps red "001 to the nearest red that the monitor can show and then proportionally remaps all other reds to fit within the reds the monitor can show us then we actually think we are seeing a full range of reds. The problem comes if we use the wrong profile for this. The red 001 could be re mapped anywhere and could be outside what the monitor can show. Say that happens but the printer can reproduce that red 001. We would see an image on the monitor with not many reds and when we printed it we would be shocked to find reds on the print. Worst, we would see an image on the monitor without reds and would correct for this and end up with a print with heavy reds and would not be able to work out why.
    So to solve this we should:
    1. use the correct camera profile when we are opening "Raw" files.
    2. Make sure you have the correct monitor ICC profile selected in "System Preferences" >> Displays.
    3. In photoshop we should make sure that the " Edit >> colour settings " are set to Adobe 1998 for RGB.
    4. If you are going to print you own photo in Photoshop go to "View >> Proof Setup >> Custom" and a box will
    open. Choose the profile of your printer and paper and choose "Perceptual" for rendering intent and then " OK". If you cannot find
    a profile for you printer and paper go to the printer of paper manufactures web site and download the profiles and instal
    them.
    5. You can now adjust the colors and contrast and photoshop will simulate how the output devise will deal with this. If you
    are using an outside printing house, they will supply you with their ICC profile to download so just follow the same procedure and
    choose their ICC profile and and do you colour correction.
    If you have a cheap monitor you will still not get a 100% result but you will get closer. You really need a monitor that you can  calibrate
    regularly because generic ICC profiles are just that. They are made from the results of many monitors and so are 90% or worse accurate.
    If you want to see a flag ship monitor at work go to http://www.eizo.com/global/support/db/products/software/CG223W#tab02 and go
    to the bottom of the page and download the Eizo Coloredge CG223W monitor profile, instal it on your mac then open then ope
    Launch Applications >> Utilities >> ColorSync Utility choose Adobe 1998 the hold and compare it with the  Eizo Coloredge CG223W
    profile. This is not the top of the range Eizo monitors that we use but you will see that this monitor will show most of the missing colour you monitor does not. This is actually a good tip if you are buying a monitor. Download the monitors profile and see how good it really is.
    The weak link still is printing. The colors you see in RGB on a back lit RGB screen are very hard to reproduce by CYMK inks on paper. Here you really should have a profile made for your printer and chosen paper. If you don't want the expense of buying a calibrator and doing it yourself, there are on line services that will do this for you.
    One final point you must remember. If you are using soft proofing in Photoshop ( "View >> Proof Setup >> Custom" as explained above), when you print you MUST choose in "Colour Handling" "Photoshop Manages Colour" and in the next step when the printing box appears
    you will see a drop down box with "Layout" in it. Click on this and choose "Colour Management and choose "Off No Colour Management". If you do not do this Photoshop will manage the colour then the printer will do it again and the print will be a disaster.
    This is a starting point really. Colour management is difficult but just try to remember that you need a translator between each step in the process to make it work so you have to make sure the correct profiles are being used by you camera, the program you use for opening the Raw photo files (Please don't use jpegs straight from the camera, but thats another subject), the correct monitor profile and output profile. If you don't check these it is like chinese whispers and your picture will be printed in Double Dutch!!.
    Hope that helps. I am on location In Italy for a couple of months so will be unlikely to be able to reply to any questions for a while. Will try to check back and see how you are getting on. Drop me a line at [email protected] if you have any questions. Good luck.

  • Linking and updating between photoshop and illustrator cs6

    Im having trouble with linking my files from photoshop to illustrator on a mac.
    Im using CS6 and it used to work fine, I'm not sure if I disabled a option somewhere but now It doesn't update the files when I make changes.
    For example if I'm making a change in photoshop and saving it, It should ask me to update in illustrator but it doesn't

    @SP/RAA
    Jean posted perhaps the best solution for your problem.
    A template is an Illustrator document for startup. You can create a document...place all the colors you want to the Swatches panel....insert contents to symbol, brushes, graphic styles and so on. Then you can go File > Save as Template.
    Now...when you want to start a new document..you could File > New from Template. Then new document will have all the stuffs of the template, including other specifications like rulers viewed...guides...
    But even using template you cannot update a batch of documents...The template is only a document for start...and it does not keep linked to new documents based on it.
    Or you try via script (do not know how further it would help) or try the alternative given by Jean.

  • CS5 - Color difference between Photoshop and other programs

    I'm running CS5.5 student edition on a brand new Asus Q500A laptop running Windows 8. i7 processor and a UMA graphics card.
    I do not have calibration software; I'm using Calibrize for the moment and colors appear fairly true when browsing after calibration.
    My problem is that overall colors in Photoshop appear more saturated than those in regular browser windows, particularly reds. I set up my computer to run the Win8 photos app and my desktop with Photoshop simultaneously and the color difference was immediately noticeable. I did a quick screen grab to show the difference; the inset photo is the one viewed in Win8's photos app, and the background is the exact same photo open in Photoshop.
    This is the second install of this program. I originally installed it on a Dell Inspiron with a DuoCore processor (way out of spec, I know - that's why I upgraded!) and I seem to remember having this issue then, too. I found a way to correct it, but I don't remember how I fixed it and Photoshop is no longer on that machine so I can't look over my settings.
    I have not changed the color profile in Photoshop. When installed it chose North America General Purpose 2 as default and I've left it there. I experimented with the other color profiles and while the color tone in Photoshop changes, there is still a difference when the image is viewed in another program.
    Any help is much appreciated - I can't trust the program to handle color properly right now and until I can, I'm dead in the water.

    I'm sorry, but I have to disagree. When I view the image on another computer or my iPhone, the image views properly. It's my photography, from a tree in my back yard. I know how the image is supposed to look, and right now it doesn't look right in Photoshop.
    On my previous machine, I am almost positive that it was saving as sRGB by default as well. I don't remember what color profile I was working in, but I know that I did not have a color profile/space error pop up on opening new images, nor do I have that problem on other images saved on that machine that I'm opening on the laptop.

  • Color Management between AE and Pre Pro

    Hello,
    I'm posting this in both the AE and Premiere Pro Forums
    I  was working on clip in Pr Pro, sent it over to AE to do some color  correcting.  Normally when I have the 2 programs open, one is on my  Apple Cinema Display monitor and the other is on my old HP monitor, so I  expect to see some color differences.  However, by chance I had both on  the apple monitor and noticed that there was a color/luminance  difference of the same exact clip on the different programs.
    Which Program is displaying the true colors???????? 
    Which program should I use to make my coloring decisions?
    Should it be the program that will be doing the final render once the project is complete??
    Is there a way to make the 2 programs uniform????
    Lastly,  if I choose a color management in AE project settings, should it be my  monitor, NONE, or what?  This color management issue is very confusing  with so many different choices.
    You guys (Adobe) need to simplify this.
    Thank You
    I'm using CS4 on a Mac OS 10.5.8.

    I second the request--I know that getting TRUE color representation on a computer monitor is very hard, if not totally impossible, and that we really need to use a real reference monitor, but for those of us who cannot afford a proper reference monitor, it would be very nice to have some better color management options built into Premiere for getting our computer screens properly calibrated... I think I'll post a feature request! :-)

  • Why are kuler colors different to Photoshop and Illustrator?

    When I make some colours in kuler, I get RGB and CMYK numbers for them.
    When I enter the RGB into Photoshop I get different CMYK values.
    When I enter the CMYK into Illustrator, I get different RBG values.
    Which do I believe??
    I guess that this must be something to do with colour profiles. Can anyone advise please?
    Thanks
    P.S. I did ask this before in the kuler forum but that forum is very quiet .

    Thank you.
    I'm 'happy' with the idea of colour spaces. But does anyone know what colour space kuler is working to when it translates rgb - cmyk? I can't seem to see that anywhere, or how to change it.
    If you can't change it, it's worthless! You have to specify both the RGB color space and CMYK color space only after which you get the CMYK values you need. Alter either description and you'll end up with different values.

  • Working between Photoshop and Illustrator

    Hi,
    I am trying to work between the two programs without losing quality, but I am not having any luck.
    I usually start in Illustrator, creat some vector artwork, add some brushes to it in photoshop....
    by the time i come back to illustrator it looks like my original design has been rasterized.
    The vector artwork is pixelated.
    Tried saving in a few different formats from photoshop but can't figure it out.
    I'm sure it is sometihng basic.
    Thanks for the help.

    You get what you ask for:
    I usually start in Illustrator, creat some vector artwork, add some brushes to it in photoshop....
    PS, for all intents and purposes, is pixel based. The only way to retain vector editability would be to use smart objects, but then again none of this matters when you go back to AI as it has its own share of issues dealing with PS files. It's really your workflow.. You should try to only do the parts in PS that you realyl must and then export them as a separate document with transparency which then can be imported and integrated in AI...

  • Photoshop and Illustrator updates fail using Adobe Application Manager, why and what can I do?

    In the Adobe Application Manager, it says there are updates for both Photoshop and Illustrator. When I click to update, they both downloaded and attempted to install and in the middle of this process, Application Manager shows that the updates fail. After this, upon restart of my Mac–running Lion–Illustrator shows that it's up to date in the Application Manager and Photoshop shows an update is available. Upon trying to re-update Photoshop again, the update fails again and again.
    I have updated before a few days ago with no problem, so I don't understand why the updates are failing and why after doing so, now Illustrator shows that it is up to date and Photoshop does not.
    Has anyone else had this problem and if so, does anyone know why and what I can do about it?
    Thank you.

    Hi Richei Creative,
    These would be my suggestions:
    Create a new user account with administrative rights, log out of your current account and into that one, launch Adobe Application Manager and attempt the Photoshop update again.
    Instructions if you need them  - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11468
    If this fails, uninstall Photoshop (Applications > Utilities > Adobe Installers) and reinstall Photoshop then from Adobe Application Manager the attempt the Photoshop update again, also from the newly created user account.
    Hope these help,
    -Dave

  • How can I better improve the color of images between Photoshop and Premiere?

    I have trouble getting true colors between Photoshop and Premiere CS6.
    What can I do to solve this situation?

    Premiere Pro works internally with colors in an RGB (red, green, blue) color space. If you want to edit video clips you create in Photoshop in Premiere Pro, create the clips in RGB.
    If you want to broadcast the final movie it is best to ensure, in Photoshop, that the colors in your image are broadcast-safe. Assign the appropriate destination color space—for example, SDTV (Rec. 601)—to the document in Photoshop.
    You can refer to some suggestion as below:

    Let me know if you have any more questions on this.

  • Deleted the CS6 trial, but App Manager thinks I still have Photoshop and Illustrator installed.

    I had previously installed, used, and then deleted the Photoshop and Illustrator CS6 trials. I recently subscribed to the Creative Cloud, but when I try to install Photoshop and Illustrator from the Adobe Application Manager, it just says they are "Up to Date," but I can't find them anywhere on the Mac or the Applications folder like they used to be.
    Do I need to delete a file or folder somewhere else for the App Manager to realize I don't have them installed anymore?
    Thank you for your help.
    I am currently running OS X, 10.8.2, 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 with 4GB RAM.

    Run the Adobe Cleaner Tool then try downloading via the AAM again.
