Color replacement issue with converted RGB mode picture

I am new to Photoshop. Opened a bmp file using PS CS5.5, and changed its color mode from Indexed to RGB, 8bits/channel. Tried to use the color replacement tool to replace a darker shade of red (127, 0, 0) to a slightly lighter one (186, 0, 0), but it would not replace it -- not that it popped out any errors, but it just didn't do anything.
The tool settings are:
          spacing: 1%,
          hardness: 100%,
          Mode: color,
          Sampling: background swatch,
          Limits: discontinguous,
          Tolerance: 1%,
          Antialias: off
foreground: 186,0,0
background:127,0,0
so I tested by choosing pure white:
foreground: 255, 255, 255
background: 127,0,0
it did make a difference, however, instead of pure white, it was some kind of dark gray: 38, 38, 38.
so I am just wondering if this is a bug, or if I did something wrong. Thanks!

Use the Filter Factory plug-in, Enter the following code in the red box. Leave the green and blue boxes alone
r==127 &&g==0 &&b==0 ? 187:r

Coloring a Font with a RGB etc. without adding the color to the document swatches.

Is there a way of coloring a font with a RGB, Lab or CMYK color without adding the color to the document swatches.
The only way I know is to add a color to the swatches or use one that already exists.
like
   app.selection[0].characters[0].fillColor=document.colors.add({colorValue: [255, 53, 160], space: ColorSpace.RGB});}
This has the undesired effect of cluttering up the swatches when using a lot of colors.
any ideas?

Good Morning Uwe!
After 3am by me 2am by you
I had tried the link and it did download but I have cs5 cs6 and cc but not cs5.5 and all the scripts worked on them may because of the file conversion.
So it looks like the following summary is all correct
All documents new contain
Swatches (Black, Registration, Paper and None) the index order will be the order that the swatches appear in the swatches panel
And colors in an alphabetical index order
named color "A" first "Z" last and then the unnamed colors.
A such all new documents colors[-1] will be an unnamed color which we can duplicated to produce other unnamed colors taking note that the duplication must be process and not spot colors.
So far so good, (not for long )
Unnamed colors are not read only so if we make a positive effort to remove them we can do that.
while (app.activeDocument.colors[-1].name == "") app.activeDocument.colors[-1].remove()
We now won't have any unnamed swatches to duplicate and will have to resort to John's tagged text file method in 3 above.
If there were no unnamed swatches and we try to duplicate colors[-1] and it was a color like "Yellow" then it seem's to crash indesign.
Anyway the below method should always work (for regular non tint etc. type colors).
// optimized for easy of use but not efficiency !!!
var doc = app.documents.add();
var p = doc.pages[0];
p.textFrames.add({contents: "RGB", geometricBounds: ["0mm", "0mm", "30mm", "30mm"], fillColor: addUnnamedColor([0, 0,255])}); // will be a RGB
p.textFrames.add({contents: "RGB", geometricBounds: ["0mm", "30mm", "30mm", "60mm"], fillColor: addUnnamedColor([0, 255,0], 1666336578)}); // will be a RGB because of value

Color Management issues with Illustrator

Can someone help me figure out the color management issues I'm getting when printing on an Epson 3880 from Illustrator?
The image comes out severely red as evident on the face. I'm not getting the same problem when printing from Photoshop, even though I set same paper profile in printing dialog box.
I attached two printed picture (one from Photoshop CC, and one from Illustrator CC) that I took with my iphone so that you can see the printed result. Even when I try to simulate same thing using illustrator soft proofing process, the soft proof does not show me anything close to how it gets printed out. And I tried all device simulations to see if any would match it. Im using CMYK SWOP v2 for Color space in both programs.

Dougfly,
Only an hour wasted? Lucky you. Color is an incredibly complex subject. First, forget matching anything to the small LCD on the back of your camera. That's there as a basic guide and is affected by the internal jpg algorithm of your camera.
2nd, you're not really takeing a color photo with your digital camera, but three separate B&W images in a mosaic pattern, exposed thru separate red, green and blue filters. Actual color doesn't happen until that matrix is demosaiced in either your raw converter, or the in-camera processor (which relies heavily on camera settings, saturation, contrast, mode, etc.)
Having said the above, you can still get very good, predictable results in your workflow. I have a few color management articles on my website that you might find very helpful. Check out the Introduction to Color Management and Monitor and Printer Profiling. In my opinion, a monitor calibration device is the minimum entry fee if you want decent color.

Color management issues with Flash CS3, please help?

Hello everyone.
I am having issues with color from a Jpeg image produced in Photoshop CS4
after importing onto the stage in Flash CS3. The color in Flash changes the image to a lighter less saturated state. Yuk.
Here is a link to a screen capture to show you what's happening (for a bigger view):
http://www.rudytorres.com/color/weirdcolor.png
As you can see the front image is the Photoshop image showing the sRGB color profile embedded but Flash (behind) changes that color.
This client is quite picky and she will notice this difference.
If any one can help, please.

P.S. It's a button somewhere, Right?

Color Profile issues with CS5

I´ve been having some issues with the color profiles since I´ve installed the CS5 on my laptop (Windows 7 ultimate).
To describe what I mean please see the images:
Every time I open Photoshop or Illustrator this message apppears:
so I hit ok, but I´m not sure if this affect the artworks that will be printed, I use the CMYK Mode but the colors does not match very well.
Hope you can help me
Thanks in advance,
Diana.

You have some serious reading up on color management to do... I strongly suggest you sift through the Illustrator/InDesign/Photoshop forums and the web in general. Short version: Using RGB profiles makes no sense whatsoever if you are working in CMYK but in reverse working in CMYK does not make sense if you are only printing at home/ displaying graphics on your own computer. Anyway, this is an infinitely complex topic, so realyl, do some reading and then ask more specific questions in the program-centric forums...

Color Space Issue with Wide-Gamut monitor

Since getting my new (and carefully calibrated) LaCie 324 monitor, I have noticed that RAW (and maybe other) images exported from Lightroom as
sRGB jpegs look washed out and slightly green when viewed outside of Lightroom (IE8, Firefox, ACDSee, windows 7 viewer). It seems not to matter whether the external application horors embedded color space profiles or not, since the unmanaged ones assume sRGB.
When I bring one of these jpegs into PhotoShop it still looks bad, and not what I see in Lightroom. However, if I Assign the Adobe RGB profile to the image, it immediately looks like the Lightroom version. And if I then Convert that image to sRGB and save it, it looks fine everywhere, even on an uncalibrated standard Dell TN LCD display.
Any ideas what I might be seeing here. A friend with the same monitor has the same problem, which is what is leading me to suspect the monitor.
The first image here is converted from Lightroom with sRGB color space. The second was first assigned the Adobe RGB color profile and then converted and saved out again as a jpeg.
Converted Only

I downloaded and ran the program. My version number appears to be 2.1 if I read the numbers right.
I am still at a loss as to why my sRGB jpegs only look right if I assign the wrong profile to them.
Here are the settings in Windows 7 for color management. The highlighted profile is the one just created for my monitor. Display 2 is my main display. Note the "viewing conditions" setting on the advanced tab. Do you think the rendering intent might be at fault here? In Lightroom, should I use Perceptual over Relative or vice versa?

Photo Book - issue with generating full size picture in PDF file

Need some assistance here.
I have created a photo book that I would like to order. In the middle of the book I have 2 pages that contain a full size picture on each of the pages. When I generate the PDF file one of these two pictures do not generate correctly leaving an incorrectly rendered rectangle in the bottom left hand corner. 80% of the time it is on of the 2 large 8x10 pictures, the other 20% it is the other 8x10 picture. Aperture does indicate the dpi is large enough to support a quality 8x10 photo.
I have exported jpeg files for each of these pictures and there were no problems. I am not sure by I have this problem in creating the PDF. Does any one see a potential issue with the book? When I order the photo book is it done through he PDF file or are the pictures sent in?
Because of the issue I am cautious to order the Photo Book, but would like to do so.
Any thought or feedback? Is this something that will come through as problem with the photo book as well?
Thanks

Hi ejg999,
I have a similar problem running 10.5.2/ Aperture 2.0 trial.
My 15800*4700 pixel (19.8mb) panorama was completely screwed up when printing the book to PDF. I did not span the pict over 2 pages as the center part would not be visible in the book's fold. I created 2 full size pages, resized the frames and adjusted their position.
The print just shows hundreds of small squares, some seem ok, some are blue, some are rendered partially. Totally unusable.
The physical memory was not the problem as I had at least 500mb free during the printing operation.
I printed the book twice: same problem. I thought shutting down Aperture would resolve the error. but all my pics were gone. And the Time Machine did not backup while Aperture was running (still a bug). Aaaaaarghhhh.
I managed to restore my work. I will try to create a smaller copy of the panorama and try to print.
BTW, what is the size of your photo creating the problems?
regards

MacBook Pro Hard Drive Replacement issues with OSX

Ok so i just replaced a hard drive in a macbook or 17" 2009 and it's fairly simple. I replaced it with a 500g seagate hybrid drive.
After fter doing that I put the old drive in an enclosure so the client could have all of their pictures, etc. I tried to install yosemite onto the new hard drive from the recovery option on the boot loader. It took four hours, but finnaly made it, and when it did it just sat at a grey screen forever. the mouse worked on this grey screen which was wierd, and it hovered there forever. I tried the same process again, this time leaving the grey screen overnight. Nothing. Still.
PLease help.

Is the 640GB WD approved as an internal drive for your MBP? If it is, then the clean, formatted drive with no OSX should be installed in the MBP. Then start up (holding the "Option" key) from the OSX installation disc and install OSX. After a successful installation, the MBP will restart. Then run Software Update to get the latest version of OSX.

Issues with converting to PDF and zoom size

I've created a Captivate file and converted this to Adobe PDF - when we have tested the output we notice a white edge on the left and bottom side of the document and encounter issues with 'zoom' on pdf - when its 100% its fine (apart from the white edge), but when we reduce the zoom it covers the project and exposes only a small amount of it.
Any ideas?

Color Calibration Issues with iPhoto 7.0.2 and H-P Photosmart 7360

I'm having color calibration problems with print output to my H-P Photosmart 7360
since iPhoto 7 and above. Is anyone else encountering this? I'm consistently getting
darker output on the printer compared to what's on the screen. Up until iPhoto 7, the
match was dead on, what you saw on the screen is what you got on the printer.
Any suggestions?

Color management issues with colorsync utility

hi all,
I'm trying to properly color manage my workflow from camera to monitor to printer and I read through the entire manual on the "colorsync utility" which is supposed to do this. That's an hour of my life I'll never get back. Anyway the color is different on my camera's screen from my computer monitor and the final output is radically different.
I've used the ICC profile for my camera (Canon Rebel XT) and I've visually callibrated my monitor. I'm using a Canon IP 4600 with a continuous ink system (non OEM ink).
What I need to know is how do I change the color space visually? What I mean is without spending hundreds on colorometers etc. I know how to manually callibrate my computer monitor, but how do I ensure that my camera matches my screen and how do I compensate for the non OEM ink?
thanks for any help

Issues with Converted Project

Hello,
We have an HTML project that was written using RoboHelp 7.
The Primary Output/Layout is Microsoft HTML Help (.chm file). Our
office recently downloaded a trial version of RH 8 and we tried
opening the project with the new version (yes we have backup copies
of the project!). Upon opening the project and checking it over,
we've noticed odd problems with the color of the hyperlinks
changing without selecting them (all of the hyperlinks and
bookmarks appear to change to the default purple color in a topic
by clicking on another topic and then clicking back to the first
topic), and little red square boxes appearing where a Shift/Enter
was used.
My concern is that the project had had to be rewritten when
we got RoboHelp 7 and converted from RoboHelp 4. At the time, when
we first opened the project in RH 7, we found corruption in text
and bullets that were gigantic. After trying to correct/resolve
these issues without success, we made a decision to recreate the
project from scratch.
Can anyone shed some light on what is happening or what we
are doing wrong? We've not had this problem with our Webhelp
(Primary Output Layout) projects.
Thank you,

I am using Aperture 3 to edit RAW and JPEG photo images on my Macbook. I am having color printing issues with my Canon MP640 Pixma color printer. The image I see on my macbook is not reciprocated in printing from my printer?

My issue is that I am not getting print quality compared to the image I see on my screen. Just recently it has been very wishie washie. My printer is supposed to be excellent for producing color prints
I have contacted Canon support but they told me that the signals that are sent to the printer originate from an Apple product, therefore, it is an Apple mac problem not there's. I am wondering if my on screen proofing and/or printing profiles are correctly set. I notice that in 'print profiles' there are nine different options for printing from my particular printer. How confusing is that?
I have also found that when I choose a high standard print option my photo print comes out very red.
Can some kind person please help me? I don't seem to be getting any help from anyone else! Thanks in anticipation.

You didn't mention any color calibration being done on your monitor. This is an essential part of any color-correct workflow. What are you using to calibrate your monitor (and your printer)?
Print profiles (for soft-proofing as well as printing) are for specific combinations of paper & printer. The nine you have are each, most likely, for a common paper (perhaps mfr'd by Canon) to be used with your printer.
I don't know what you mean when you say "I choose a high standard print option".
Have you read the User Manual chapter on printing?

There is also a good appendix on calibration:
