Color modes supported

Does Photoshop Elements now support the CMYK color mode? If not, is there a way to add it without
purchasing the professional full-package Photoshop?

No.
No.

ITunes puts my computer in windows 7 basic color mode. It also does not recognize my iPad as viable video source

When I start iTunes on my desktop computer, instantly it switches to Windows 7 Basic Color mode:
"The color scheme has been changed
The following program has performed an action that requires Windows to temporarily change the color scheme to Windows 7 Basic.
Program: iTunes
Publisher: Apple Inc.
Process indentifier (PID): 3296
Windows will automatically change the color scheme back to Windows Aero when this program or other programs performing similar actions are no longer running."
When I close iTunes, it immediately switches back.
THEN, when I try and move a movie I have recently downloaded ("Tangled (2010)" or "Tron: Legacy") to my iPad (1st edition) or iPod Touch, iTunes tells me these devices are not supported:
"Tangled (2010) was not copied to the iPad "My iPad" because it cannot be played on this iPad."
I get the same message with "Tron". This is only happening with the movies I have downloaded after February. All previously downloaded movies work just fine. I have found when I transfer the new files to my laptop and use iTunes on there, everything works normally.
New for today...
When I plug the iPod Touch into the the desktop computer, iTunes locks up completely. I only get it back when I unplug the iPod.
Solutions...
I have done minimal talking via email with iTunes support. They told me to make sure I had the updated version of everything. I had explained in my original inquiry I had done that already. When I replied as such, I did not get a reply. I sent several messages explaining that I have deleted itunes all together from my computer and reinstalled the program from scratch. Finally, I received a second reply to reinstall iTunes.
Also, I have tried several ways of moving the movies over to the iPad and iPod: dragging/dropping, sync, auto sync. I get the same error message every time.
I am more than a little frustrated with Apple's lack of support and hope someone out there knows something that can be done. PLEASE HELP!

Just curious, have you resolved your issue yet?
I am working on a friend's computer that had the same issue and it turned out that her iTunes was set by some crappy program called TuneUp Companion to use Windos XP compatibility.
If you have TuneUp Companion, uninstall it.
Then check to see if iTunes is trying to run in some prior windows version compatibility and turn it off

Why does my Bridge read RGB or B&W for the Color Mode on a file, when in Illustrator I have set it to CMYK?

I'm kind of stumped and this has been a question of mine for some time. I did some further digging on it, and did find that what it's reading is the Photoshop Color Mode XMP data, which is odd since the files were never in Photoshop, and were created in Illustrator. Is there a way to remove this info? How do I fix it?

Probably can be chalked up to one of Illustrators mysterious color issues.
Therefor it might be best to drop this question in the AI forum itself. I know to less of AI but just tried a bit with a new document, you can't convert to a new color profile like used to in PS, only select CMYK or RGB and assign a profile but that is not the same as converting.
Also in color settings it says by default to preserve numbers in stead of the profile itself.
And yes, mysteries are common at Adobe, although being one company one doubts often if they are even aware of the existence of Bridge and even other applications in the suites. Not even all file types of Adobe seem to be fully supported in Bridge…

How to control Color Mode and Resolution for brochure creation?

Hello guys,
I am trying to find some settings within Pages, where I could set CMYK color mode and 300 dpi resolution for my pdf file.
I am creating brochure from scratch, using blank document, because non of brochure templates work for what I need. But I can't find any controls for color mode and resolution set up.
Is there any solution for this?

There has been a lot of discussion in the Pages forum about resolution and some on CMYK.
Much of the discussion has been incorrect.
For the colour handling there is the colour palette
The Apple Colour Palette is the user interface for colour managing vector objects created in Apple Pages such as rules and panels and for colour managing one class of vector objects not created in Apple Pages, namely typographic objects.
Imported objects maintain their colourant model and colour space, if there is one. If there is none, a colour space is assigned and the assigned colour space is saved out into the PDF, opposite e.g. Adobe Photoshop which will colour manage the object in the open editing session, but will then save out the object to disk without the assigned ICC profile if 'Colour Management: Off' is configured.
Therefore, if the imported object is data space CMYK and the colour space device CMYK, the system will assign the Generic CMYK Profile which is equivalent to ANSI CGATS TR001 colourimetry (US SWOP); if the imported object is data space RGB and the colour space is device RGB, the system will assign the Generic RGB Profile which is equivalent to sRGB colourimetry in OS X 10.5 and higher.
In general, always capture and then convert for correction in one of two data spaces with three channels, either ICC colour managed RGB or ICC CIELa*b D50. Then convert to CMYK1, CMYK2, CMYK3, CMYKn from the ICC colour space chosen for correction and archiving. This colour space should be large enough to hold any colours that the output colour spaces can hold.
The Apple ColorSync Utility has a gamut comparison dialogue which is 3D (point, press, and turn the 3D gamut comparison). Use this facility to pick an ICC colour space of reasonable size and shape for correction and conversion into final output. Don't pick sRGB as a quick look will show that it can't hold as input what ISO reference offset can hold as output for pure cyan, let alone hold what a big inkjet can hold in greens, blues, reds and yellows.
The ICC architecture lets the ICC profile for the printed output match out of gamut colours to in gamut colours using the Perceptual rendering intent, as intended in the original architecture from 1995. Adobe internally introduced an inhouse conversion for compatibility with PostScript and as default for PDF, Relative Colorimetric with Adobe Black Point Compension. Relative Colorimetric is in fact a proofing transform, without gamut mapping. Black Point Compensation is a simple linear scaling of the lightness to compensate for the fact that the shadows will be clipped in a Relative Colorimetric conversion.
The other problem is transparency, introduced in the QuickDraw Graphics Extension for Mac OS 7.5. Transparency is not supported in any version of Adobe PostScript (level 1, level 2 or level 3). Transparency is also not supported in any version of Adobe PDF prior to version 1.4 and higher. Therefore, unless the RIP Raster Image Processor is able to accept PDF 1.4 and higher, transparency has to be rendered / flattened which is done in the PDF/X-3 filter of the Apple ColorSync Utility.
The idea in the PDF/X-3 filter (for Adobe PDF 1.3) is that the everyday enduser, after placing ICC colour managed RGB or CIE La*b D50 objects, and after choosing an ICC colour space for objects created in Pages, chooses the ICC colour space for the output condition. The filter accepts both ICC profiles of type MNTR Monitor with data space RGB, ICC profiles of type PRTR Printer with data space RGB, and ICC profiles of type PRTR Printer with data sapce CMYK.
The colourant conversion (RGB to CMYK) and the gamut mapping (out of gamut colours in input colour spaces mapped to in gamut colours in output colour space) is then calculated as per the ICC profile for the output condition. An output condition is the combination of factors that affect how colour is formed: the colour lightness and colour tint of the paper, the colours of the colourants, and the tone value increase. Think of gamut mapping in a good ICC profile as Format 1 kerning in a TrueType font (where your font has state-based kerning for up to 8 glyphs simultaneously).
Below a link to a discussion of how to change the default PDF/X-3 filter the Apple ColorSync Utility. "Wegen diverser Fehler im Mac OS X empfiehlt es sich, wo immer möglich, die PDFs ohne Transparenzreduktion (also auf normalem Weg) über den Befehl Als PDF sichern zu erstellen und das Flattening der Druckerei zu überlassen," that is, pick the plain save as PDF path and leave the transparency flattening to the prepress technician.

Unsupported color mode in Illustrator

When a tif fle (color mode - lab) is placed in Illustator, an error message is displayed 'Unsupported color mode or depth. Only RGB, CMYK, Grayscale and Bitmap are supported'. How to avoid such errors and is there any property to accept tif files with color mode as Lab in Illustrator.
Please let me have any solution.

No. Convert to CMYK or RGB in Photoshop using pertinent profile settings.

Wrong Color Mode unable to import?

I shot over 700 RAW images using sRGB Color Space rather than Adobe RGB. When I attempt to import the images into Lightroom I get a message: "The following files were not imported. The files use an unsupported color mode". Can someone assist me in importing these images into Lightroom. The images open fine in Photoshop Camera Raw but I would like to import them into Lightroom.
Thanks for any help.

First of all, the color space you choose in the camera has no bearing on the output data.
What version of Lightroom are you using? I believe only the latest version (2.3) directly supports the D700.
If you are already using version 2.3 try deleting the preferences. That may help...or not.

Does Print driver type (XPS V GDI) affect availability of "Color Mode Model" in Publisher 2013 to get CMYK colours

Trying to export a Publisher 2013 file to Commercial Printer standard for our printers. They require CMYK.
In the Publisher 2013 stand alone software - it is possible to change from RGB to CMYK in the "Choose Color Model" area in Info.
But in the server based Publisher 2013 - in Info, the Choose Color Model is not offered :(
Anyone know how to change RGB to CMYK in the server version of Publisher 2013? Thanks
I wonder if the availability of CMYK is affected by what printer driver is installed - XPS compared to GDI
Photos are of the Stand alone Office 2010.

Hi, ...
Since Publisher 2013, you no longer have to choose a color model for your publication. In prior versions of Publisher, several different color modes were supported, with RGB mode for screen and desktop printers, and single, process, and spot color modes
for more specialized, commercial printing cases. We have simplified this in the new version, and now use RGB mode for all cases, enhanced to export additional color information when saving the publication.
You can learn more useful information from this blog:

Just as a quick update, Melon-
Using Office 2010 I went into "Choose Color Mode" and changed to CMYK. Used the pack and go and packed it onto a stick. The Office Administrator then walked it round to the printers, who took a look. Printers are happy as the CMYK and quality (DPI,
etc) is all to what they want.
Based on the high number of posts and threads about the failings of Publisher 2013, and especially the CMYK issues - I guess someone needs to address that as a service pack ;)
Thanks

Is the CMYK color mode available in Photoshop Elements 12?

In taking a photography course I was introduced to color printing modes in Photoshop CS6 which includes CMYK as one of the modes. I am currently using Photoshop Elements 11 which is limited to the RGB color mode. Does Elements 12 offer CMYK?

No, this is one of the areas where Adobe is determined to keep a difference between PSE and full Photoshop. No version of PSE has CMYK support and it's unlikely to come in a future version, either, I'm afraid.

ACR color mode defaults

raw captures do not use the camera settings. It records them in the EXIF data.
ACR uses the EXIF data when opening a raw capture. This is painfully obvious when it comes to white balance if it has not been set properly at capture time. Not a problem, that can be modified the EXIF WB is the starting point.
The questions concerns the color mode:
If set at sRGB at the time of capture, does ACR uses the camera EXIF setting (sRGB) as it does for the white balance?
If so, should not color mode be a choice BEFORE opening the raw capture in ACR?
The 'no question asked', EXIF color mode data opening is troubling as sRGB cuts the gamut quite a bit. All edits are made in the sRGB mode. Setting the 'open as 16 bit RGB' only opens a 16 bit sRGB image as if it was a 16 bit RGB, meaning there is no color in the suddenly re-opened gamut space since the original color data has been killed when opening the file.
Last question:
What am I missing here?
Message was edited by: Jacques V, 'wording'

The answer is bad....
This is the transcript. It confirms what I suspected.
Thank you for contacting Adobe.
A representative will be with you shortly.
You are now chatting with Abhishek Joshi.
Abhishek Joshi: Hello. Welcome to Adobe Technical Support.
Jacques V: This is a two pronged question that concerns ACR and raw. Background A raw capture does not use the camera settings but records them, including white balance and color mode. ACR uses that recorded data to import the raw image as illustrated by the 'default' that reflects the original color balance. Questions: Does ACR uses the color mode recorded as camera setting when importing the image? If so, is there a way to override that import setting in ACR? My concern is that if ACR defaults to the camera settings the potential color gamut is ignored and one of the advantage of the raw format is severely limited by ACR as the raw format allows for a color mode change.
Abhishek Joshi: I will check it first
Abhishek Joshi: I am checking on this please provide me 2 minutes
Jacques V: Ok
Abhishek Joshi: Thankyou
Abhishek Joshi: Thank you for your time and patience
Abhishek Joshi: ACR information is derived from your RAW picture
Abhishek Joshi: If you do ACR default it will take the picture to the original state
Jacques V: Meaning it will use sRGB?
Jacques V: (as it was the camera setting, even if not used when recording the raw caprture)
Abhishek Joshi: You clicked the picture in sRGB ?
Abhishek Joshi: What ever the profile you chose in camera while capturing the picture
Jacques V: Ok then. In this case we eidt the raw file in sRGB and the export to PS CC is whatever is set in the option link in ACR. Am I correct?
Abhishek Joshi: Correct
Jacques V: Thank you. Not good news but a good information to have.
Jacques V: Good bye.
Abhishek Joshi: Your welcome
Abhishek Joshi: BBye

Neither Lightroom 5 nor 6 (just downloaded) will import SRW files. Complains about an "unsupported color mode." JPEGs come in fine, but not these RAW files. Help!

Neither Lightroom 5 nor 6 (just downloaded) will import SRW files. Complains about an "unsupported color mode." JPEGs come in fine, but not these RAW files. How do I process these images? What do I need to change on my camera?

Here's what I've found so far: Lightroom 6 will support my camera, Samsung NX500, if using "Camera Raw plug-in version 9.0". Reference is Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras. The Camera Raw 9.0 file is found at Camera Raw plug-in installer. Haven't got it to work yet, but hopeful...

K7N2G-L : NO 32bit COLOR MODE!!!???

Hi
i am was using a Radeon 9000 of 64MB and i didn't have this problem. The thing is that i started using again the onboard video and i am using the latest nvidia drivers, i mean the 44.03 ones. I have a monitor that support a resolution of 1280x1024 at 67hz, but when i set that res. i can only use the 16bit color mode... and i have a VGA frame buffer of 128MB!!!!
What the hell is going on???...
Please help.

Who really needs 32bit for most windows tasks anyway tbh I keep it in 16bit even with my specs. If you do really need 32bit try lowering the res to 1024x768 failing that try older drivers :D

What is the problem specifiaclly?
If the images are intended for web use I would recommend converting them to sRGB which could be done with Edit > Convert to Profile or with File > Save for Web, but as including a Save step in Actions and applying them as Batch can sometimes cause problems I would go with regular converting.
You could also try Image Processor Pro.

Converting from pantone to cmyk color mode in Indesign CS3??

I am working on a business card for a customer, I am using Adobe Indesign CS3.
I use an outside company for the printing job called 4over (4over.com) and they require you use their cmyk pdf print engine so they can do the job properly... Basically to break it down: I am in Indesign CS3, I choose Print, and as the printer I choose their "4over pdf cmyk print engine" so the colors do not convert and the color doesnt change when they use their printers.
4over is telling me my document is in pantone color mode, they can see the pantone color 371C, but not the cmyk values.
How do I change from pantone color mode to cmyk color mode???
if anyone can help me please. I would really appreciate it.
I attached the file I sent to 4over incase that helps anyone answer my question.
Thank you,
Brandon

Before exporting, in the swatch panel, select your Pantone colour, right click and select swatch options. Change the color type to Process and the color mode to CMYK.
If it's a business card and you showed the client a pantone swatch, know that you won't get the same colour results. There's a very useful Pantone book available that shows swatches side by side with CMYK values.

My illustrator CS6 crashes when i try to open an AI file with RGB color mode

My illustrator CS6 crashes when i try to open an AI file with RGB color mode. I worked on this file yesterday and changed it to RGB mode. Today i tried to open the file again but illustrator won't open it and crashes. It does work when i want to open a file with CMYK color mode.
Anyone know how to fix this ?

Have you tried trashing the prefs?

Can't see color mode in .ai files

Is Bridge not supposed to show detailed information about illustrator files?
I'm trying to view the color mode of ai files, but I can't get them to show.
I would think that it being a long-standing Adobe app that Bridge would allow it.
Any ideas?

You'll need to provide some better specifics.
I brought it in from final cut 6 as a quicktime output.
Did you use the Send To Color command from within Final Cut?
I'm going to suspect that your problems are a result of using a Mac Mini. Color requires the use of a graphics card, not an integrated graphics chipset (like those found in Mac Minis and MacBooks).
Quote from the Final Cut Studio Requirements page:
An AGP or PCI Express Quartz Extreme graphics card (Final Cut Studio is not compatible with integrated Intel graphics processors)
