Color picker show only gamut colors

hello all,
in photshop, you can go to View -> Show Gamut Warning and then in the color picker the colors out of gamut will be greyed out.
is there any similar setting in illustrator too?
thanks for answers.

Illustrator is a little different the color picker show the out of gamit warning however if I am corret since illustrator a little different and you really canot select an out of gamit color since it will converted to the cmyk environment for instance or the rgb environment you are creating your document, which is probably the reason that some colors coming from Photoshop do nt always match 100%.
For instance placing a rgb photo in Illustrator converts it to rgb slecting a color out of gamit will also give a cmyk value to it in the picker it is the cmyk value that will be used and there for will not be out of gamit turning on overprint preview will show what the color really looks like if you have a properly calibrated monitor.
The color you are  seecing might be out of gamit but what you have in Illustrator will print properly no matter how close it appears on the screen. 
Let me Illuustrate this
The color picker, notice the cmyk values and the out of gamit warning
The color panel shows it as cmyk values and as long as it is translated as percentages of cmyk inks then it is not out of gamit.
So the issue is mute in Illustrator

  • My iphone 6 plus  lost its colors and shows only grey colors

    I reset it to manufacturer settings and it seems to solve the problem (the battery sign was green) but when I restored my setting and content from iTunes it went grey again. I looked through all my settings and I can't find something that fixes it, including the greyscale button.

    have you by any chance checked in settings->general->Acessibility
    if it's set to display in b&w on purpose ?

  • Why does PS show only 256 color Steps in a 16 Bit per channel workflow

    Hi forum-members,
    I am a bit confused about the way PS (CS5) acts with colors when editing pictures (RAW-converted) in RGB 16 bit per channel mode.
    (please don't mind, if I am using some wrong English expressions here - since the PS at my work is German)
    --> I would expect, that I would be able to select from a variety of 65535 (=16 Bit) color steps for every R - G or B channel ... bus PS still let's me select just 256 (=8 Bit) colors per channel (in the color palette on the right - also the "color pickup tool" will show 8 Bit values - the image certainly has 48 bit color depth).
    Why am I asking? I will get a display capable of displaying 10 bit colors per channel in PS (NEC PA241W, ATI FirePro V5800, DisplayPort --> 30 Bit colors in Adobe PS) next week. And thus I need a better color resolution (which would mean: 16 Bit in PS) to avoid banding-effects.
    Does anybody know why I can't select more colors here or how to change this behaviour?
    Thank you very much in advance for your answers!

    Hi Mark,
    I already managed getting it to work :-)
    First I did not succeed and I had to reinstall my system (because of driver issues of the remaining nVidia driver - my old card...).
    After reinstallation and performing all necessary steps (as descripbed here: http://www.amd.com/us/Documents/48108-B_ATI_FirePro_Adobe_10-Bit_FAQ_R5_Final.pdf) I now get 30 Bit color ...
    ... which is AMAZING! You really can see the superior quality in almost every picture. Colors are very accurate and especially in dark shadows or skys you get a much better color rendition (now its indeed hard to see the color values of a color gradient anymore...).
    Also have a look at this page related to 10 Bit output: http://www.amd.com/US/PRODUCTS/WORKSTATION/GRAPHICS/TOOLS/Pages/tools.aspx
    And don't forget to download 'ramp.psd' from the page above - it's a good tool to proove wether everything has worked - if you're really running on 10 Bit you will not be able to see any banding within this picture (with 8 Bit you'll see a few vertical bars... moving up to 10 Bit will result in a smooth gradient)
    As with every good news there are also some annoyances (at least till now, since I think it's "only" driver problems ... so there's a good chance, things will change further in the future):
    - First of all: 10 Bit per channel ONLY works with the "professional grade" graphics cards (ATI FirePro), don't try this with a Radeon type card - it simply won't work. Similarly nVidia adds 10 Bit support on display port only on the QuadFX series (very expensive!). And I just can speak for ATI FirePro cards, since this is, what I am using here. Since the cards are physically identical to the "gamer" versions I think this is a way to promote their "professional grade" cards by the vendors. (BTW: all supported ATI cards are included in the pdf mentioned above)
    - ATI: with the latest ATI driver (8.7xx) will loose some abilities (OS is Windows 7, 64 Bit): first, you will loose your Aero display features, since there's some background process running that prevents Win7 from using Aero. I guess, this could be due to a lack of alpha blending capability of the driver (or hardware?) when used in 10 Bit mode. If you don't need 10 Bit it can easily be turned on and off (+ Reboot), so that the effect is NIL in "normal" operation mode.
    Second I recognized some trouble using certain apps: especially playing BluRay get'S trouble, for HDCP is not detected anymore - the BluRay player tells, that HDCP is not supported by the monitor. Again, the error is gone if switching back to 8 Bit mode.
    - There's no way to select the "new" colors in Adobe PS (this is - in my opinion - a bug in Adobe PS and should be fixec someday). I "worked around" this by generating a 16 Bit RGB picture with a smooth gradient --> now you can pick even the finest colors using the pipette tool... which works fine.
    After all: working with 10 Bit p.C. is a great pleasure! Of course you need 16 Bit RGB pictures (which are huge sized) to get the plus in color rendition - but I am well willing to pay the price - the images are just looking great (and the PA241W is the right tool to get there - a very well made monitor! Really worth the price - equally addictive like Eizo's GC series).
    Hopefully I could help you - please don't hesitate to reply if you need further assistance!
    Best regards
    Roland
    P.S.: Yes, this forum is WAY better than most on the net - very reliable and professional support! With support of "real" Adobe engineers - congratulations, Adobe! Very much appreciated.

  • Hi! I'm having troubles while the TBD is connected. Suddenly the screen shows only blue colors. Anyone have idea of what's happening?

    MBP 13" latest '11.
    I've tried to check it in different LCD Displays but it happens again and again.
    Example: I'm watching a movie and suddenly it only shows the image with blue colors.
    The only solution it's to unplug the TBD, plug it again, and wait for few seconds. It's kinda disgusting repeat this operation, every 5 minutes of movie.
    Anyone have some idea of what's happening?
    Thanks!

    Could your MBP be the issue?

  • Color picker out-of-gamut alert diferent to image gamut warning? (CS5)

    I'm confused...
    I'm editing an sRGB image.  My custom proof condition is set to sRGB IEC, preserve numbers unchecked, intent PER or RC, BPC. Gamut warning is turned on.
    I add some text and color it using the text color selector tool. I enable gamut warning in that and choose an out of gamut color such as #ff0000. I return to the image and the the text is *not* flagged as being out of gamut.
    In fact *no* color flagged as OOG in the selector seems to be considered OOG once I return to the image with sRGB IEC selected, though they are when I select other devices to simulate.
    Why the disparity between the image OOG warning and the selector tool?  Is the tool using a different simulated device to that I've selected?  Which should I believe?

    Perhaps I'm not understanding what you're doing fully, since you're abbreviating a lot of important stuff...
    What makes you think a color of #FF0000 is out of gamut in the condition you described - your document is in the sRGB IEC61966-2.1 color space and you're proofing the same sRGB color space?  Unless I'm missing something here, nothing could be out of gamut in that condition.
    Do you see the expected gamut warning if you assign the Adobe RGB 1998 color profile to your document.  In that color space the RGB value #FF0000 is out of gamut for the sRGB IEC61966-2.1 space you're proofing.

  • PS CC 2014 Color Picker Sets as Background Color

    When I updated to PS CC 2014, the color picker has changed. Whenever I select a color, it sets the selection as the background color, not the foreground color, and I can't find any way to change it without having to hit the "x" key every time to switch them manually, or hold Option while making the initial selection.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?

    There's a setting that governs which color is changed on a color pickup operation.
    Do this:
    1.  Choose Window - Color to make the Color panel visible.
    2.  Click on the foreground swatch.
    That sets subsequent color pickup operations to load the foreground color.  I suspect you most recently have clicked on the background swatch.
    Unfortunately, I've just noticed the indication about which way it's set is now almost invisible with a dark background selected.  Look very closely...  There's a slight change in the outline around the swatches showing which is selected.

  • Color picker reversed rainbow with color shades

    my color picker has changed and i cannot figure out how to revert it back to normal. it normally has a single color with ranges from white in the upper left corner to black in the lower right corner. it is now showing the color ranges from light to dark in the narrower slider bar which used to show all of the range of colors. it's as if the two slider areas reversed and now the rainbow is in the larger box. i don't know what caused this to change but i do not know how to fix it. please help. i am using windows 7 and have the latest updates from adobe.

    By normal, you probably want to click on the H (hue) radio button.

  • IWeb 09 - Color picker not selecting matching color

    I have tried to use the color picker to match colors in iWeb 09 and it seems impossible to match the colors. I go to the color picker and use the magnifying glass to try to match an existing color and the selected color is not exactly the same as the color I am trying to match. Very frustrating. I have searched and other folks have been reporting similar problems.

    When are you seeing the mismatch? In iWeb after applying the magnifying glass or after publishing? What are you trying to match? Backgounds? Objects? Text?
    It's been noted that after publication some colors have been changed in the css file from the rgb alpha code it was originally set to to the # number code (or vise versa - I don't remember which) which changes the published color slightly. Tried to find the topic just now but couldn't.
    Definitely a bug to be reported to http://www.apple.com/feedback/iweb.html.
    If you're trying to match a page background to a browser background and you're not using a theme that uses images for it's background you can set the page background to none and let the browser background color work for both areas.

  • Q Color picker icon outside the color palette.

    Good day, I was working ( or practicing, I'm an AI newbie ) with AI then I noticed that when I select
    an object, and I wanna fill it up with color, when I click on the color palette and I hover the mouse pointer
    outsite the color palette to the working area, the mouse pointer doesn't change into a "color picker" like
    it does in Photoshop. Is there any way to turn it on? Thanks!

    Hi Jacob, I already tried that but while the color palette is being shown, I can't switch to any type of tools. When I try, the color palette window blinks as if it is telling that "I am turned on, you must close me first".
    Anyway, I've already managed to present a sample image. Here it is :
    As you can see on the image above, in Adobe Illustrator, when the color palette is on, and I try to hover the mouse pointer outside the color palette to the working area, the mouse pointer remains as a default pointer (encircled in red). While in Photoshop (below), the pointer automatically turns into an eye dropper or color picker tool and I can easily click on a color that I want to copy. I find it very useful when working with gradients.
    I'm just wondering if the changing pointer is not available in Adobe Illustrator. But then again, I think that's a bit impossible. Maybe I'm just missing something. Thanks Jacob. Cheers!

  • GuideBuilder Color picker - not allowing custom colors?

    Hi There,
    I'm Using Livecycle Designer 8.2.1 to  create a form Guide from an xdp.
    I'm trying to define a  custom color for a text label (say #565656).  GuideBuilder will let me  enter the value in the box (in the entry), but will not save it.  I can  only pick one of the "pre-programmed" colors from the pallette
    I can't use CSS or a style, as I need multiple colors  within the one text field.  Is there a way I can do this in  GuideBuilder??  Can I redefine a color in the pallette
    Thanks,

    From Paul Guerett on the Designer thread:
    I tried it here and was able to change the caption color in the  Customize Appearance area. I entered in the 565656 (with or without the #  does not matter) in the box provided then hit enter to commit the  value. It then stuck. If I did not hit enter then it did not stick

  • Color Picker won't change the color properly?

    Hi guys,
    I have a weird issue with the color. When I changed the color from dark green to bright lime green on Color Picker. The Color Picker show the specific color I want and then I click "OK". It did not change the dark green to bright lime green... instead it show the dull green color. It is really bugging me because I can't figured it what wrong with it. I checked the Color Mode (RGB mode) and Color Setting... everything seems to be right to me.
    Here is the quick screenshot:
    I also tested with other color, it still have the same problem. They won't show the bright color, it show the dull color instead.
    I hope you guys can help me out!
    Thanks,
    Christie

    OK, a few more thought on this.
    Here's what I did and everyone can check for themselves. I made a screen capture of the Color picker and paste it in a RGB and also a CMYK document as shown on the images below. In the CMYK document this converts the RGB color values of the screen capture into the CMYK color space of the document and the colors in the palette are displayed within the document's gamut. If you take the eyedropper and click on any color of the palette on the image you will never get out of gamut colors and this is how they should be displayed in the real Color Picker. The Color picker can still display in a little box out of gamut color if they are selected numerically using the RGB or HSB models but the point is that the display of the palette should be converted to a CMYK color space.
    In the RGB document on the second image, like in the real picker, clicking on the palette with the eyedropper will give a lot of out of gamut colors.
    Now thinking about out of gamut colors. Illustrator decides what is out of gamut colors by comparing the color space of a CMYK document to the working RGB  color space set in the Color Settings and for an RGB document to the  working CMYK space in the Color Settings. But this is not practical all the time because it is one way only from RGB to CMYK and can not be set from CMYK to RGB, RGB to RGB, and CMYK to CMYK.
    CMYK to RGB example: you may have a  document with U.S Web Coated (SWOP) v2 color space and one of its destinations is an sRGB color space. Because you can't set CMYK to RGB for out of gamut consideration, Illustrator will consider out of gamut all sRGB colors that are outside the U.S Web Coated (SWOP) v2 color space. But in this case your destination is sRGB and all colors from the sRGB color space should be presented in gamut and there is actually a small part of the U.S Web Coated (SWOP) v2 colors that are outside of the sRGB color space and only these colors should be shown as out of gamut.
    RGB to RGB example: your document is set in Adobe RGB color space because it will be eventually printed to several RGB printers some of which may have narrower gamut than the document. Then you want to set Illustrator to display out of gamut only the colors in the Adobe RGB color space that the RGB printer can't print, but unfortunately this is not possible even if you have the color profile of the printer.
    CMYK to CMYK example: you may have a  document with U.S Web Coated (SWOP) v2 color space but one of its destinations is U.S Web Uncoated v2, or US Newsprint, again not possible.
    So, in all these examples, the out of gamut colors Illustrator gives in the Color picker and panel are completely useless. Of course the major tool for these tasks remains the soft proofing which is working properly but why not make the out of gamut colors in the Color picker and panel work better and make more sense.

  • Color picker on Illustrator CC 2014 shows wrong values

    See the image above . The selected area filled color is e6e6e6 ( 230, 230, 230 ) but the color picker shows the wrong value 4d4d4d. Its happens only on Illustrator , What is this actually is there any problem with the color mode settings ? Please help me 

    You misunderstand me, so don’t be too quick to judge.
    I said that the Color panel was more efficient than the Color Picker. It has sliders so that you can adjust colours precisely as you wish first time, rather than just groping somewhere on a big area of colour in the Picker and then having to make fine numerical adjustments afterwards (plus an OK when you’re done).
    The Color panel is particularly useful when you are working in CMYK because it ensures that you get clean mixtures when you want them (which the Picker does not, without fine tweaking afterwards).
    And if you want to get shades of the same colour, you simply hold down Shift as you drag one of the sliders.
    In conjunction with the Swatches panel, I would go for the Color panel any time, but if you prefer the Picker that’s quite all right by me.

  • CS5 Quick-Access Color Picker....anyone found out how to actually use it properly?

    Hey there,
    I'm a digital artist and use Photoshop for the majority of my work. One feature that PS CS5 brought on that i was initially really looking foward to was the new way to select the color i wanted in real time, rather than having to go and click on the color and then select it... minor difference i know, but it really helps speed things up not having to do that and adobe have finally implimented this due to that reason... aprantly...
    However, first off, i've noticed there seems to be absolutly nothing in Photoshop that tells you the shortcut command to show this new feature, which made me have to look online for it, and then the command is rather odd itself and the panel it brings up seems pretty unusable for me. The command is Shift+Alt+Right Click. This for me is quite difficult to actually do on an intuos 4 graphics tablet althogh thats more wacoms fault with odd feeling buttons, but then, Photoshop seems to offer no way to change this shortcut command to help me out there. Also with the panel itself, both the wheel and slider, i have 2 problems:
    1. I know alot of people don't work this way but there seems to be no reason it can't be changed in the preferences when you choose the wheel or slider, but i work in the "b" of LAB color, so the right bar controls the tempreture of the color and the left box of has all the colors in it...you can't set up the quick entry slider like this.
    2. It takes a while to actually get the quick entry color picker to get the color you want. The only reason this is, is because the way it acts is like you are always holding down a button so its constantly selecting the colors as you go over the menu. The problem here is, say i want a dark red.... i set the main strip to red, then in the saturation part try to get the color i want by stil holding these buttons and dragging out to that part of the menu. this will work. However, more likely than not i want to change the color just a *bit* more (say, to make it look like a colder red*, well then you loose the color you just found found because as soon as you move the cursor it selects all the colors back upto the hue strip...
    Now, logically i'm guessing this menu is working by figuring out when the user clicks and lets go as to when it shoud come up and dissapear. Hense requires the right click in the shortcut, and also why it is constantly selecting a color. This i imagine is also probably why it doesn't seem to be changable because it has to be like that perhaps? But i seriously would urge adobe to improve this vastly in how it works ad user control for cs6 at least. Its very uncomfortable to use and turns out being faster to do it the old way for the most part...
    So in the end, i'm just checking here, that there is in fact no way to change its keyboard shortcut, what color selection method to choose from, and to see if anyone else if experiencing similar problems with trying to use it.
    Thank you

    Some partial answers to some of my questions:
    They were conveniently all in one menu, and it's very easy to tell someone, "Go to the menu bar and choose Advanced > Print Production > Output Preview."
    But in Acrobat X, by default these choices aren't visible. It appears necessary to click Tools, which dramatically reduces the document width available), Print Production, and then choose from the Panel.
    Since this user interface isn't standard, it's harder to describe to new users, and keeping Tools open wastes a lot of screen space.
    It doesn't address the real estate issue, but at least one can describe to users they should View > Tools > Print Production and then deal with the subsequent tools pane that appears and therein click Output Preview.
    Another concern is the new interface seems to have destroyed the discoverability of keyboard shortcuts. For instance, in Acrobat 9, Document > Delete Pages was clearly bound to Command-Shift-D.But in Acrobat 10, how are you supposed to find the keybinding? It is not even in the tooltip
    In fact, it doesn't seem to be in the help under Keyboard shortcuts, or anywhere else in the help that I could find!
    OK
    in the "Page Thumbnails" "Navigation Pane" (formerly"Pages"; still F4) the right-click context menu has these shortcuts. As does what I guess is the "options" menu (analagous to a "flyout" menu but its in the upper-left of the pane rather than the upper-right).  This isn't all that great since every icon leading to a functino should show the same keyboard binding, but it's nice to know it is somewhere...
    More later.
