Color variations between AI CS2 and Photoshop

I'm new here and really don't know technical terms for what I'm trying to explain, so please forgive the gibberish. I have an Illustrator CS2 file that someone is printing for me using Photoshop. When he opens the file the colors I selected in Illustrator all change slightly and look much duller when printed.
Is there a way to maintain color accuracy between the two applications? If so, how would I go about changing the colors in my existing artwork? Thank you!

Thank you for all your feedback.
Here are the scopes. All I'm doing to get the change is sending it to AE. No changes elsewhere. Just that simple send to AE and it starts playing with the colours.
I have also noticed that when I reload my projects a lot of the time I have to re-render the entire film. I did update the Adobe software when it became available.

AI color variation between documents

I am struggling with color variation between different documents in AI. Even when both documents have been assigned the Adobe 1998 RGB color space, and colors are identically called out in RGB, my output varies between the documents. This is difficult as when I do color management is a "swatch" document to get my client approval, then insert that color into a different document, it changes. Any input?
Thanks

HI,
We are using the Latest CC version on the latest MAC OS. We use a third party RIP to drive our digital printing working in the RGB space.
It just appears the color space gets duller or more vibrant depending on which "setting" is embedded at the creation of the document- which seems to be the same for all docs - Adobe RGB 1998, yet is not yielding consistent results from file to file.

Color differences between lr image and ps image?

Is it possible that lightroom and photoshop could display an image (the same image) differently between lightroom and photoshop cs2? I modified a number of images in lightroom (controllers are better than photoshop) but when I edit the lr version of the file in photoshop, the colors seem to be completely different than what I saw in photoshop. How is this possible? Any ideas?

If you have colour management set to ignore the embedded profile, you will see this.
Photoshop needs to honour the embedded profile. Until V1 is released, you have a 16 bit ProPhoto RGB file being created by Edit in Photoshop. If you are using an Adobe RGB or sRGB working space then the file will look odd if the profile is ignored.

How to make colors looks same in Lightroom and Photoshop?

The colors of JPGs with sRGB colorspace are displayed differently between Lightroom and Photoshop and other image view applications.
I edited RAW images in Lightroom and export them to JPG files with sRGB colorspace, but their colors are eventually different from what I saw in LR.
(I set ProPhoto as the colorspace for my Photoshop.)
Is there anything I can do to solve this problem? Or maybe to reduce the color difference?
What is the best I can do to manage colors for those images that I want to share on the internet?
Thank you !!!

If colours look different between two colour managed applications such as LR and PS then you have either not calibrated your monitor at all or are using a corrupt monitor profile.
If the former you require a calibration device, such as a Spyder (lots of other around). If the second then re calibrate.
In the meantime you can set your monitor to use a colour space such as sRGB as a profile. This is not a solution, it is a temporary fix. Using a colour space as a monitor profile is not colour management, but will at least make the colour appear the same on your monitor.
There are some useful links concerning colour management and LR here you may wish to read.

Same color looks diffrenent in Illustrator and Photoshop?

Hello!
I need to convert a logo that I've made in Photoshop to an EPS-file using Illustrator. I've imported all the paths and filled them with the colors that I had in Photoshop. The colors I'm using in the logo is black, white and green. The black and the white looks fine but the green is not the same at all, even though I've used the exact same RBG-values. I've also selected RGB-mode in Illustrator and changed to the same RGB-profile.
Shouldn't the colors be the same when you use the same values? I've also tried this with CMYK but I still get the same problem.
I'm using Photoshop CS2 and Illustrator CS5.

Yes I have.
In Illustrator it says:
Working Spaces
RGB: Monitor RBG - sRGB IEC611966-2.1
CMYK: U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2
Color Managment Policies
RGB: Off (I can't select anything here)
CMYK: Preserve Embedded Profiles
And in Photoshop it says:
Working Spaces
RGB: sRGB IEC611966-2.1
CMYK: U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2
Gray: Dot Gain 20%
Spot: Dot Gain 20%
Color Managment Policies
RGB: Preserve Embedded Profiles
CMYK: Preserve Embedded Profiles
Gray: Preserve Embedded Profiles

Color changes between Safari 3x and 4x

Does anyone have any info about color handling changes in 4.0.2?
I have a friend who upgraded from Safari 3x to Safari 4.0.2 and now the color is off on all her web pages. All the color on all parts of the page are desaturated. It certainly looks like a color profile problem but I can't seem to find any info about what might have changed between Safari 3x and 4.0.2.
I put an old copy of Safari on her machine, it is 2.0.4, and the colors are completely normal in it.
The machine in question is a macbook running 10.4.11.
Thank you.

I have the same problem!!
Apple has apparently decided that unless a color profile is assigned, it will make images in its new browser look like garbage. Meanwhile they still look great on Firefox.
I'm an artist and this is terrible. It means that to please Apple, I need to go resave and reupload all my images with an sRGB profile assigned.
In Firefox, the images look identical to how they were saved originally in Photoshop, without a profile. Yet they look washed out and terrible in Safari.
Gee, thanks Apple!!

Adobe Photoshop CS2 and Photoshop CS4 on the same system?

Hi all,
I was wondering is it possible to have both Adobe Photoshop CS2 and CS4 on my computer at the same time. I heard that this would cause errors, but if there is, is there a work around for it. Thanks in advance.

Quite a few people keep an older version in case there is something not right for them in the newer version.
Just make sure they are installed in that order.
Be prepared to have your file associations changed.
What is you OS by the way?

I am wondering why when I try to edit a file in photoshop it will only open when I choose the render using Lightroom option. If I choose open anyway it simply does nothing. Same thing if I choose open as smart object nothing happens. I am have the latest updates. Using latest version of lightroom and Photoshop CS5.1. Can anyone shed some light on my issue?

Is Indesign CS4 compatible with Illustrator CS2 and Photoshop CS2?

We are a small business and have been working in the CS2 suite forever. We had someone do some work for us in Indesign CS4 and are looking to upgrade to that version so we can work with these files as changes happen. If we upgrade to Indesign CS4 will it still be compatible with the rest of my CS2 programs (Illustrator and Photoshop). Placing files and such. Thanks in advance, I know I am way behind here but it is what is cost effective for now.

Adobe only sells InDesign CC (by subscription) or InDesign CS6. You might find boxed legal copies of CS5 or 5.5 from a vendor like Amazon.
You should be very wary of buying older Adobe software on the Internet or eBay. Many copies don't have a legal license and may cause you problems in the future. Caveat emptor.

File format differences between Illustrator CS2 and CS3

Does anyone know the difference between the file format of Adobe Illustrator CS2 and CS3? Is there a document that documents this? Can someone send a link? The reason I am asking is that I have written a plug-in which saves the current CS3 document back down to CS2 so that users who are still using Adobe Illustrator CS2 can open it. However, if the same document is opened by a CS3 user, what objects, constructs or data structures are likely to be lost because the file has be converted down to CS2? Most things seem to be retained and I have yet to find a problem but if yo save manually from CS3 to CS2, Illustrator puts up a warning stating "Saving to a legacy format may cause some changes to your text layout and disable some editing features when the document is read back in". Does anyone have any more detail on this?
Thank you

There are new features in CS 3 as opposed t CS 2 and the text engine has been improved some what in CS 3. If you have text on a path that is say curved you are going to see a loss in the spacing and way it is oriented. fixed in CS 4.
I forget some of the new features in CS 3 what was not a feature in CS 2 will be flattened when saved back.
Or the feature will simply not be available.

The AI File Format is not publically documented, as far as I know. I'm sure there are plenty of differences between CS2 & CS3's file formats, but you're not likely to find anything official on the subject.
What you lose saving back you're more likely to get help on, assuming someone's actually investigated this. I haven't, unfortunately. I wouldn't mind knowing either if someone has information on this.

Color shift between Develop Module and other modules in Lr 5.7.1

Hello,
I'm getting a color shift between the devolop module and any other module in Lr.
It's a recent problem that I've been experiencing since the last update.
I'm using Lr as part of the Adobe Photographers Bundle in a Windows 8.1 pro.
Below I have an example for the kind of color shift i'm seeing. The image on the left is from the Devolop Mobule and the one on the right is form the Library Module.
Is this happening to any one else? Does any one know why?
I would appreciate any help.

Gautam is correct in that the preview mechanism isn't the same in Develop and the other modules and, you must view the color in Develop at 1:1 to see an accurate preview. The color space is different that's probably why you see this difference in reds (especially if you use a wide gamut display).
IF you build your own ICC profiles for your display, be sure the software is not building a V4 (version 4) profile, stick with V2.
As for exporting and comparing, be sure the secondary application is color managed! Otherwise it's expected that there is a visual disconnect between LR and that app.

JPEG color difference between Adobe Raw and Microsoft Image Viewer

When I calibrate my monitor or use the monitors ICC file which came with the Monitor, there is a color difference between Camera Raw image and the JPEG I save from Camera Raw, displayed in Microsoft Image Viewer.
However, if I make my ICC file for the system to be SRGB Color Space Profile, and go through the same conversion, the JPEG image created and viewed in Microsoft Image viewer is identical to the one seen in Camera Raw.
It appears therefore, that the operating system only uses SRGB Color Space profile for Microsoft Imaging Viewer?
Most people I give photos to, do in fact look at them in microsoft viewer.
How can I use the ICC profile for my calibrated monitor and end up with the same results in terms of color with Camera Raw and Microsoft image and Fax Viewer.

All profiles are not created equal. There's a basic version issue (ICC v4 vs. earlier), and profiles are complex things containing many fields. Lots of things can go wrong in the creation of a proper color transform from the combination of the document and device profiles, and it kind of depends on what color management code the software uses whether it can be done properly. Adobe has their own - the Adobe Color Engine - and there are others such as LittleCMS or even Microsoft's system-provided ICM that application designers may be using in their code.
It may be that the profile your calibrator/profiler has produced for your monitor (or other device) isn't compatible with every application. It happens.
This isn't intended to provide a solution or workaround, just to help explain things a bit.

Very different color noise between develop module and library

There is a marked difference in the appearance of an image when viewed in the library versus the develop module. The color noise in the library module is very bad, while in the develop module, the noise reduction is doing a pretty good job. This is strictly a view problem, because if I export from the library, the proper color noise reduction is applied and it appears as it does in the develop module. This is not the first time that I have found this problem between the two modules. Any idea why this is happening? And, is there a fix in the works? It makes it hard to view images in the library.
If I boost the color noise reduction up to 100, the library image starts to look ok, but that doesn't account for the huge difference at lower settings.
There is also a dramatic slow down in the develop module when trying to make any of these changes in noise reduction and more, and also in side-by-side when trying to scroll around in the image to compare areas. Things really crawl. There is a definite two or three second delay before things respond. I have 8gigs in this mac pro, which worked beautifully with LR 3.6

And, is there a fix in the works?
Try rendering 1:1 previews for noisy images.

Why color variation between Adobe Pro 9.0 and Reader 9.0 when printing

We recently had Adobe Pro 9.0 installed. We've noticed that we are getting different color shades when printing from Professional versus Reader 9.0. Actually, the Reader is printing more of what we want. We had one document that had a background that the Reader picked up better and we also had another with a solid blue and the Reader printed that better as well. We are printing to a Xerox 7665 color copier. Wondering if there is a setting or something that we should try?? Thanks!

frstrsystemI make a fix, here it is:
1) I launch acropro 9 on the server, I go to the view->toolbars->tasks menu to the "tasks" toolbar (which cause the crash).
2) on the server, run regedit and go to current user\software\adobe\adobe acrobat\9.0 and export this hive on a file like acrobat9_user.reg
3) create a acro9pro.cmd file with
regedit /S n:\scripts\acrobat9pro_user.reg
@start "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\" Acrobat.exe
save this file on the server
publish your app and call the CMD instead of the acrobat file
trick; you can map drive into the cmd so that user can access network shares and not only the server on.
