Color Picker/ Color Chooser Questions

Sometimes when a pick a color from the screen using the Color Picker panel, it shows a grey triangle in the top right hand corner. What does this mean?
Also, if I have an InDesign document open, create a box and fill it using the Adobe Color Picker make a note of the CMYK and RGB values, then switch to mail, and use the Color Picker panel in Mail to pick the color from my InDesign document, the values are different. Why?

MP,
It seems that the issue is caused by a corrupt folder called en_US or similar (depending on language) within the Adobe Illustrator 18 Settings folder, see post #7 by Jules in this thread,
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1595766
so the solution should be to move or rename that folder (or the whole Adobe Illustrator 18 Settings folder).
You can find the folder in Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed.
The folder can also be found through this:

As a temporary roundabout way, you can select the lower rectangle to the right of the rainbow and DoubleClick to apply that to change the top rectangle and the values: the lower colour is the right one.

Trying to insert this color picker. Javascript Question.

This is what I would like to do:
jQuery Color Picker, Selector, Chooser Plugin - colpick.com
This is the code:
<div class="color-box"></div> <div class="color-box"></div> <div class="color-box"></div>
$('.color-box').colpick({ colorScheme:'dark', layout:'rgbhex', color:'ff8800', onSubmit:function(hsb,hex,rgb,el) { $(el).css('background-color', '#'+hex); $(el).colpickHide(); } }) .css('background-color', '#ff8800');
.color-box { float:left; width:30px; height:30px; margin:5px; border: 1px solid white; }
I am confused about what goes where. From what I have read thus far, the JS should go into the Page Properties > Metadata > HTML.
The HTML should be inserted via Object > Insert HTML? No idea about the CSS.
Ignorance is frustrating.

Hi
To answer your query.
A. JS and CSS goes to head section of the page. Therefore, you need to add the same using :
1. Right click on your page
2. Choose "page properties"
3. Choose metadata
4. Add javascript/CSS in head section as defined below :
For JS:
<script type="text/javascript">
your code goes here...
</script>
For CSS :
<style>your css code goes here</style>
Take a look :
B. To define HTML on a page, you just use " insert as HTML" option and place your HTML code there. Take a look :
I hope this helps
Let me know if you have any further query.

Lightroom color cast question of JPEG image

Lightroom color cast question of JPEG image
Camera Canon MKII Color Matrix Adobe RGB
Photoshop CS Color Setting Adobe RGB (1998)
Lightroom 1.2 as new lightroom user I did not think that I needed to choose a color setting or color profile until I am ready to print my photos. I have not done any preset camera calibration.
Link to my website with example photo http://www.basecampphotos.com/color.jpg
My question is why is Lightroom displaying the images with a yellow color cast ? The image is a print screen from Lightroom on the left and Photoshop on the right The color cast problem can be seen in the white walls of the stairway. Also when viewing the image with Windows Picture and Fax viewer the walls are white as expected.
Any ideas or suggestions as to why Lightroom is displaying the images with the yellow color cast or what I need to do to correct the issue ?
Thanks
Jim

Almost definitely a corrupt monitor profile. Time and again this turns out to be the cause of such differences between PS and LR. You need to recalibrate the monitor or if you do not have a hardware calibrator, delete the profile from windows' monitor properties pane to test and then get a hardware calibrator.
P.S since you are using adobeRGB jpegs, Windows picture and Fax viewers cannot give you the correct colors even on a calibrated monitor. Those are not color managed programs (I believe picture viewer finally is in Vista but definitely not in XP which you appear to be using). Also, PS has to be correctly set up to always preserve embedded profiles and to ask when you have profile mismatches, otherwise even PS will give incorrect color. Make sure to set this up in Edit>Color settings.
P.S.2: Make sure you are not applying defaults in Lightroom to your images either on import or elsewhere. Sometimes people by accident define develop defaults that in this case might contain a white balance shift. Go to LR preferences and open the Presets tab. Here click on "Reset all default Develop settings" and make sure that only the auto grayscale checkbox is ticked. For images that it might have already happened to, make sure to hit the reset button.

CS4: Use HSB as default color chooser

I've searched around, both the forums and the larger interwebs, and there doesn't seem to be a way to default to the HSB color chooser. The "Document Color Mode" can be set to RGB or CMYK, and I realize HSB is just a way to think about colors that end up on the screen or printed, but it seems like there should be a way to work with colors in HSB mode all the time.
I think this could either be achieved by adding HSB to the Document Color Mode option, or at least if I choose HSB in a color picker, that color picker stays in HSB mode (persist the setting).
CS5 please??? Or maybe even better, some hack so I can do it in CS4?

Many have written about this for years and nothing is happening with this team illustaror still deaf. It seems to me that the problem is more in the archaic method of choosing a color than the color model. HSB is not you just get a more intuitive way for humans in the process of creation. Only later doing a color correction from the viewpoint of reproductive technology. But there is probably also an idea how to connect to simultaneously select colors using the HSB and at any time to see and control other industrial areas. Here, checked and according to me a very good idea of choosing a color other Corel Painter Programs that use only a professional is not illustartor.
Another reason for my disappointment Illustartora shoulder CS5 and willingness to buy.

Another color management question

Hi folks,
Apologies for yet another color management question, but Im getting very confused and could do with some help. I use a Canon 10D and Canon 30D. Ive come to LightRoom from Pixmantec Raw Shooter.
As Ive gotten more serious about producing high quality images for both the web and as prints, I thought Id invest in the Colorvision Spyder2 calibration product. So my monitor is now calibrated (quite a difference from what I was seeing!) and I have a calibration profile applied.
My needs are pretty obvious I want my images to look the same wherever theyre viewed including exported files (such as JPEGs) whether this be on my monitor (in LightRoom, a web browser, Paint Shop Pro, whatever) and on a printer.
Perhaps Im getting confused because Im trying to compare what LightRoom does with what RawShooter does.
In RawShooter, when exporting from RAW to JPEG, I can specify the RGB Working Space Im using and then select my monitor profile. I think that what happens is that the export mechanism takes this profile into account and, low and behold, the JPEG looks fine when viewed in any web browser - the colours are exactly the same as in RawShooter. In Paint Shop Pro they look fine too unless I enable Color Management in which case (Im guessing) the monitor profile is, essentially, applied twice! But the upshot is I seem to get the results I want.
What I cant figure out is how I do this in LightRoom. I can make the same adjustments to the RAW image as I did in RawShooter, but there doesnt seem an option for me to select my profile on export to JPEG only the standard 3 color spaces. Anyway the result is a JPEG that looks somewhat different when viewed in a web browser, or Paint Shop Pro with Color Management turned off. However, if I turn Color Management on in Paint Shop Pro, then it looks fine. So Im assuming that my profile isnt accounted for when exporting JPEGs from LightRoom.
So any pointers or explanations would be really appreciated. I also acknowledge that this is my first foray into color management, and feel free to tell me to go and read some introductory article (link please!) and then come back with a sensible question if thats whats needed!
Thanks in advance.
- Pete

Lightroom color management.
a.) Monitor profile used: The profile set as the default in your operating system (e.g. Windows xp). (your monitor profile software usually does this when you calibrate/profile your monitor).
b.) Working space: ProPhotoRGB
c.) Export color space: You can choose one of the following sRGB; Adobe RGB or Pro Photo RGB.
There is no option (afaik) to change a.) or b.) the option you choose in c.) will affect how the exported image will be displayed in color managed applications or non-color managed applications.
Non-color managed applications are not able to display Adobe RGB or Pro Photo RGB correctly. I guess if you wish a consistent display of your images in color managed and non-color managed applications then the only common factor is sRGB and you should export your images in sRGB color space.
The benefits of the other expanded color spaces are in printing and you also would have to get this end of your color management correct. Printing profiles to match your printer and each paper being used etc.
Until you can get this all sorted out you will get better results from sRGB, this is also applicable when using most commercial printing services.

How to Create a Custom Color Chooser/Palette with 16 or 24bit Color Support

Hi All,
I need some help on how to create a color palette/chooser with 16 bit or 24 bit color options available
First setting up the context:
I am developing an application which allows designing some GUI screens by adding various controls.
Now these GUI Screens developed are compiled and downloaded into a series of display devices with each device having a different color support (For e.g. 256 colors, 16 bit, 24 bit and 32 bit).
Now according to the selected device i would need to provide the "Color Chooser" with only those colors that are supported by the device. SO I need to design a Color Palette(s)/Chooser(s) with 16 bit, 24 bit or 32 bit color options
Could anyone help me out on how to create such palette? A piece of sample code would be a great help
Best Regards

It is not that simple... reason I almost never use those old captions anymore but replaced them by shapes (much easier to format).
Have a look at the available captions: for each caption you'll need a bmp and a fcm file, and follow naming conventions. See:

How to use color chooser?

hi, how to use the color chooser provided in the sun one studio?

Still the wrong forum - this forum is about writing plugins.

Gnome-color-chooser (gtkrc?) refuses to work [SOLVED]

I wanted to change my panel font color and after some hassle and a bit of googling, I ran into gnome-color-chooser. Made the desired changes, applied and nothing happened. I then copied the content of .gtkrc-2.0-gnome-color-chooser to .gtkrc-2.0 directly, to no avail. I even restarted my panel and still no change. Mind that every manual change in .gtkrc2.0 (icon theme, theme, etc) works flawlessly.
Any ideas?
I'm using gnome-color-chooser 0.2.5 and xfce4-panel 4.6.4.
Thanks in advance.

@thayer
I use gtk-chtheme, so themes change on-click. Even when I messed with themess gtkrc files, I only had to "reload" a theme (e.g. select another one and then revert it back to the desired, edited one), for the changes to take effect. I will try logging out/in, definitely
@Stebalien
Sure
.gtkrc-2.0:

Where do I go to pick 3 security questions? I can only find the option for one.

I really want to redeem my code for my free movie, but it wants me to pick three security questions. When I manage my id it only gives me the option for one. Please help.

Usually you will need to contact iTunes store support but this workaround may help:
-On the device/computer that is asking you for the security questions go to "settings", > "store" > tap the Apple ID and choose view"Apple ID" and sign in.
- Tap on payment information and add a credit/debit card of your preference then select "done", in the upper right corner
- Sign out and back into iTunes on the device by going to "settings"> "store" > tap the Apple ID and choose "sign-out" > Tap "sign -in" > "use existing Apple ID" and you should be asked to verify your security code for the credit/debit card and NOT the security questions.
- At this time you can remove the card by going back in to edit the payment info and selecting "none" as the card type then saving the changes by selecting "done". You should now be able to use your iTunes store credit without answering the security questions.

How does one do updates when your service provider is s-l-o-w?? According to the counter, our computer needs almost 20 hrs. of updates, is there a way to pick and choose which ones are downloaded?

We have a "Rocket Hub" and our download times vary greatly. My husband's computer, Snow Leopard OS, shows he has about 20 hrs. of updates to download. Is there a way to pick and choose so we can catch up?

Nope, because files sizes, machines, software installed are different and you can't control what needs to be installed first before others work.
Apple is all Internet, you should see Lion users, they can't reinstall their OS at all without a Internet connection. (or pay $69 for the Lion USB key) and then there still the updates to deal with.
So take a ride, to a Apple Store early in the morning before their network gets overloaded (what a way to get you in the door and buy more junk uh?) fully update to 10.6.8.
Good thing about Snow Leopard, not much more in large updates coming for that verision, in fact they will stop completely come next spring or so when 10.8 is released.
Unless you live in a wealthy area with broadband, your a nobody in Apple's viewpoint.
You could get a 3G laptop connect card, hopefully that will give you enough to download your updates but they cost a fortune.
If I could just provide you with update disk I would, but I can't, machines are different.
Call Apple and ask for a update disk, perhaps they have a solution
Once you do get all your updates, Carbon Copy Clone your boot drive to a external drive, it's hold the option key bootable duplicate.
Donationware too.

I am out of space on my Macbook Air and have a Time Machine Backup. I want to complete reset my mac, but wonder if I can pick and choose what I restore to my computer? Can I also use my time machine backup and external storage as well?

I am out of space on my Macbook Air and have a Time Machine Backup. I want to complete reset my mac, but wonder if I can pick and choose what I restore to my computer? Can I also use my time machine backup as external storage as well for the files I don't need everyday?

If you are using "Restore from Time Machine Backup" option from OS X Recovery, you can only choose from the broad categories presented.
... Can I also use my time machine backup as external storage as well for the files I don't need everyday?
To be clear, if you are asking if you can use the volume containing your Time Machine backup to store additional, non-Time Machine files, the short answer is yes.
It's not a good idea though, since the Time Machine backup will eventually fill all available space, after which it begins to remove old, "expired" backups to make room for newer ones. The presence of additional files doesn't change that fact, and Time Machine will not erase them, but you will encounter a dilemma should you want to store additional files on that volume when there is no remaining space. You will have to make room for them on your own, by deleting existing files. Furthermore, since Time Machine cannot back up its own volume, those additional files will not be backed up by Time Machine.
The easy solution for what you describe is to purchase additional external storage. External USB hard disk drives have become very inexpensive; about $55 will buy a perfectly suitable 1 TB drive.
You can also choose to replace your MacBook Air's internal storage with a larger capacity one. Look for a suitable replacement from OWC / MacSales:

That gets a little more expensive but it is the optimum solution.

Can i pick and choose what to restore from backup or not

Import = Crash; Pick and choose?

I have about 30 or so new photos that I want to import, and it looks like it's about to finish, but just before it does, iPhoto crashes. I've used this camera with the app. before with no problem - it only just started occurring yesterday. Also, how can I see the content of my camera before importing? I'm not even seeing it on my desktop or in the Finder.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated!!! Thanks!

That doesn't seem to be the problem... I plugged my camera into my friend's mac and it worked perfect - I could even see the photos before I imported them and it allowed me to pick and choose. I was then able to import them from an external drive. Another persisting problem is that now, whenever I open iPhoto, it now says that I have loads (hundreds!) of unimported photos that it asks if I want to import. I have to click "no" otherwise it will again crash. So each time I open iPhoto, the number increases. I think I may go into an apple store unless there are any other suggestions?
