Colors change when I use UIImageVIew?

In PhotoShop and in the finder the image looks bright and the colors look good but as soon as I use it as the image for a UIImageView it dulls the image and it does not look as good. Is this something I can change?

I'm guessing you're talking about the iPhone simulator as there's no other way you could view the image in Photoshop on the same monitor. I'd see how it looks on the device itself first, and if it's still washed out then you can look to see what color space its pixel values were meant to be interpreted in.
Odds are good that reliable color management was never a top priority on any mobile device.

Color change when opening in Reader

Hi, I created a PDF in Photoshop. I then added an editable field in Acrobat, using the same RGBs. When I open the file in Reader, the color of the editable field does not match. Any suggestions on what I can do to resolve this? I have the most recent version of Acrobat and Reader.
Thanks,
Jackie

Here is a screen shot of the reader PDF, followed by the original file in Acrobat. You can see that the entire document color changed when I opened it in Reader.
THanks,
Jackie

Rules applied to multiple cells trigger color changes when any of the cells

"Rules applied to multiple cells trigger color changes when any of the cells meet the rule’s condition." That's what Help says, but when I follow the directions, it doesn't work. This is in Numbers 08.
I have a table where the contents of one column are either "YES" or "NO", depending on formulas using variables from other cells. If YES, I want the fill of that cell and that of two adjacent cells to change from white to green. I select all three cells and use conditional format rules for "text contains:" YES, then choose my fill color. When I return to the table and introduce values for the variables that trigger the rule, only the cell in the YES/NO column changes to green; the other two remain white.
While I am spreadsheet challenged, I usually can follow directions as plain as those in Help, but it's not working. I couldn't find anything in the discussions after an hour of searching. Is this a known problem or am I just stupid?

For what it's worth, that's the way I read that line in the User Guide as well. What it actually appears to mean, though is 'Rules applied to multiple cells apply independently to each of the cells."
Here's a workaround for your three adjacent columns. Long, but fairly simple steps.
Add a second table to the sheet (Table 2).
Resize the second table to one column wide and as many rows as you want to apply the conditional format to.
Set the width of the column to the same width as the three columns you want to highlight, and the row height(s) to match the rows.
Format to table to have NO Header or Footer row or column.
Use the Wrap Inspector to uncheck "Object causes wrap"
In the first top cell of Table 2, enter an = sign, then Click on Table 1 in the sidebar, Click on the first cell that will hold YES or NO.
Fill the formula down the rest of Table 2.
With all cells in Table 2 selected, use the Cell Format inspector to set the 'text contains yes' rule and the conditional fill colour for these cells.
Test the conditional formating by introducing values into Table 1.
Click on Table 1 in the sidebar, then use the Table inspector to set Cell Fill to 'none'.
Click on Table 2 in the sidebar, then drag that table onto table 1 aligning it to cover the cells in which the conditional formating is to appear.
When positioned (and still selected), go to the Arrange menu and Send Backward to move Table 2 behind the (transparent) cells in Table 1.
With Table 2 still selected, click on the Cell Borders color well and set the Opacity of the borders to 0%.
Click the Text inspector and set the Text colour Opacity for Table 2 to 0%.

Barry

Trouble with slow Macbook Air. I have first generation MacBook Air and have a hard time keeping hard drive from being full. After trashing many docs, I have almost 5 gigs available, but mac is slow and I keep getting color wheel when I use Mail. I'd like to install Lion, but now I'm afraid it will slow down my machine even further. Do I have enough free hard disc space? Is Mail problem related to free hard disc space? Thanks for your help!

Why do the colors change when I reopen a document?

Are you opening the same Pages document or do you open another document like Word? I has recently been a similar discussion in this forum.

Text color changes when more than one color is used in the same paragraph in a bulleted list

I work in a print shop on designers' files preparing them for print. Machine I use is an iMac, plenty of RAM, running Tiger 10.4. Here is my problem: A PC user sent us an InDesign CS3 file. A portion of the text is styled as a bulleted list with character color and bullet (the solid circle) defined as (default) black. However, the style is over-ridden on the bullet and first two words following the bullet with a spot color red, which is present in the Swatches palette (PMS 186). The remainder of the sentence stays black. The text somehow lost this override, and instead of keeping the 2 different colors all the text changed to black. This seems to have occurred when I saved the file on my machine. When I go back and open the original file the text is still colored both red and black. I think that the file was originally an InDesign CS2 file, and could even have been a Indd version 1 or Quark file. Why did the color change with no user intervention? Also, I can't understand why, when the first 2 words are highlighted and changed to red, the bullet also changes to red. (That is good, of course, because that is what we want, but I don't understand how that happens when the character style is black, and I can't even highlight the bullet itself). I sure would appreciate any ideas anyone has on this, I have to try to explain why we printed the text in black when it was supposed to be red and black!

thanks Alan and Bob. Nothing has explained the loss of color so far.
Alan, I will suggest to the designer that she use a nested style. I wonder if that will make the styling more stable moving accross the different platforms.
Bob, I feel like you may have thought, as I did, that hundreds of saves and saved-as and many different applications would have damaged the file, but as you could see by the History, the file was fairly fresh.
There is a very outside chance that I wiped out the style overides by command click but I am really careful and I doubt it.
So I'll thank you both again and check back each day, perhaps this will happen to someone else and become an issue. I have tried to repeat my actions and cause the error again but to no avail.

Excel 2007 cell color changes when copying to other docum. using clipboard

Hi,
There is excel 2007 document which is generated by SAP. I think it contains
some VB macros and some grouping.
The problem is that if I select something from that document, copy that and
paste to another excel 2007 document - colors get inverted somehow - for
example white cell becomes red cell (backgroud color I mean), other
background colors changes as well.
If I open this xlsx document using excel 2003 (it converts document using
compatibility pack) the issue is gone - I can copy contents to other excel
2003 document without losing any format info.
The problem is that our users all use office 2007.
What could couse this behaviour ?
thanks in advance
Vilius
Edited by: Vilius Mockunas on May 25, 2009 8:04 AM

dear friend,
you would do:
1. search SAP Notes;
2. check out the updates/patches for your MS Office;
3. replicate it on another computer/another sap user (make sure it is a local issue)
good luck!

Color changes when creating PDF in Acrobat X Standard

I'm printing to PDF from Word 2010 by using Acrobat X Standard. Here are the two issues:
I have overlaid two text boxes (different colors) on top of each other. The overall image should be blue on top and bottom with tan in the middle. When I print to PDF in Word, the PDF is perfect; however, when I print to the printer, the blue on the bottom changes to purple, while the blue on top is correct. Again, this is the same blue text box, so I don't know why the color changes.
Also, the tan is a darker shade than what the PDF shows.
Is this a printer issue or PDF settings issue?
I'm new to using Acrobat, so any step-by-step help is very much appreciated!
Thank you.

Create Adobe PDF is a (by default) a LOSSLESS operation where Acrobat processes the Word graphics data directly into PDF. Printing is a LOSSY operation that first has Word convert Word->”printer spool”, then the printer driver (Adobe PDF) converts that “printer spool” into Postscript, and then Distiller converts the Postscript into PDF. As you might imagine, you get MUCH higher quality and fidelity results from the former.
Have you verified that you are using the same color management settings in the printer from both Word and Acrobat? Is the Konica configured for Postscript, PCL, other? There are SO MANY possible options that could be impacting your configuration…

Why does JButton background color change when clicking ?

Hello,
I have defined :
JButton mybutton = new JButton(Icon xxx) ;
with no associated text and I set both foreground and background colors to black, and an empty border.
This is because the background color of the container which contents this button is also black and I want to see only the button icon.
When I click on the icon , the button background color becomes grey. How can I change this to make it remains black ?
Thanks a lot.
Gege

Well, the color changes because that is how the look and feel is defined,
presumably to give better feedback to the user that she has clicked the
button.
If you don't want this, you could try using a different L&F which doesn't do this.
Alternatively, If you've only got the one button, you could just do
    UIManager.put( "Button.select", Color.BLACK );If you have multiple buttons, and you want the other buttons to behave
normally, you can extend the one button and have it change the color
while it is pressed, e.g.,
import java.awt.*;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.URL;
import javax.swing.*;
public class ButtonSelect extends JFrame {
     public ButtonSelect() throws IOException {
          super();
          setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
          JPanel panel = new JPanel();
          panel.add( new JButton( "Normal" ) );
          Image img = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage( new URL("http://www.google.com/intl/en/images/logo.gif" ) );
          ImageIcon ii = new ImageIcon( img );
          JButton b = new JButton( ii ) {
               static final private String KEY = "Button.select";
               public void paint( Graphics g ) {
                    Color save = null;
                    if ( getModel().isArmed() && getModel().isPressed() ) {
                         save = UIManager.getColor( KEY );
                         UIManager.put( KEY, Color.WHITE );
                    super.paint( g );
                    if ( save != null )
                         UIManager.put( KEY, save );
          b.setForeground( Color.WHITE );
          b.setBackground( Color.WHITE );
          b.setFocusPainted( false );
          panel.add( b );
          getContentPane().add( panel );
          pack();
          setVisible( true );
     public static void main( String[] a ) throws IOException {
          new ButtonSelect();

Why are my colors changing when copy and paste a graphic from docA to docB both in illustrator?

Both documents in Illustrator CC are RGB and I'm trying to copy a logo onto a template, but the color of the logo completely changes when I copy and paste it into the template. The logo has three different pinks and they turn red when pasted. There is no graphic styling and the logo is all gradient.

What is weird is that we get a lot of logos from the same company and we put it on shirt templates so they can see size wise on how it would look on shirts. It's happened with other logos, but very slightly. I asked my co-worker who sends me the logos what version she uses and she also uses CC but does not know what version the other company uses. To them, it doesn't matter if the logo colors get altered, they have the PMS colors to work off of for screen printing. I just want to make sure that if another company sends us logos with PMS colors, we will know how to fix it.

Keynote Bug: Object colors changing when opened on different machines

I'm collaborating on a series of presentations with two other people all using Keynote 3.0.1 and we have discovered that the colors of imported graphics are changing (slightly) when we send files to each other. The same files remain normal on the machine that created them, but once that file is sent to another machine (via ichat, either archived or not), small color shifts appear within imported graphics.
This makes matching an imported graphic to a background color a real pain as you can imagine. The shift is measurable with the color palette and is repeatable and consistent.
Has anyone witnessed this?

I used to. Are you using CMYK graphics? I think the problem's with the color space. Try using RGB graphics and see if that helps any.

Why do filler colors change when the orientation changes?

Hi, I'm working with a template but don't like the colors of the fill boxes, so I have manually changed them. I've noticed, however, at least when look at a proof that when I change the orientation of the iPad, the filler color reverts to the original. The color change screws with the styles. Anyone else have this problem? Any fixes?

Thanks for your reply. I was fuzting with the "book" again. It was the simplest -- and therefore easiest to modify stylistically -- template, which was supposed to work in both orientations. I created it in landscape. Last night I reallized that when I changed the orientation when working in iBook, if I applied the color change to the boxes [again], the color change stayed when viewed in either orientation.
BUT I also saw that the box placement in the portrait view is "wrong." It covers part of one of the headlines. While I have changed the headline font manually [not via paragraph styles, which I am finding difficult to manipulate], I have not moved the text. It is where the template placed it but simply using a different font.
Thanks for any insight you might have.

Color change when transferring image from Photoshop to After Effects

Hi everyone,
I am trying to import a logo from photoshop CS6 to After Effects CS6, however the black color within the image changes to a dark grey when it gets into AE. I noticed on the color picker in PS that it changes to the same grey color that is used as the replacement web safe color. Therefore I'm assuming AE is just converting everything into web safe colors.
Is there something I need to change in AE to allow me to import the image and keep all the original non web safe photoshop colors?
Sorry if this is a very basic question thats been answered before, I couldn't seem to find the answer within these forums.
Many thanks in advance,
Spencer

This has nothing to do with web safe. You are making a mess of color management/ color profiles. You have soemthing enabled in PS and since AE by default doesn't use any color managemnt and just assumes plain sRGB, the colors change. There's no easy explanations here, but you have soem reading up to do about color management in general and also specifically how Photoshop corrects for monitor profiles and how to use the Proof Preview to compensate for that or how to establish a workflwo that mimicsa AE's "unmanaged" colorspace.

Colors change when saving to PDF from InDesign

I admittedly don't understand color handling, no matter how much I seem to read about it. Lately my files that I've been exporting to PDF from Indesign have looked slightly different and odd to me once they're converted to PDF. Sometimes the colors are dull, sometimes the drop shadows are a weird grey... Here's the latest example. Perhaps someone has some wisdom for me here...
I created this poster in Illustrator. Here's how it looks in Illustrator:
Then I went into Indesign and linked the file. (this is strange...) When I display the file with "typical display", it displays as such:
That looks pretty good... But when I set the display to "high quality display", I get this:
This is also the result I get when I open the exported file in Adobe Acrobat Pro. Why the color change?
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Thanks, Will...
So, upon investigating, I realized that my color space in Illustrator was RGB... Damn... I must have overlooked that... When I convert (in Illustrator) to CMYK, I get those strange colors again.
When I export to PDF, the Output is "no color conversion", so it's not being converted to CMYK yet...
Plus, I just linked the AI files in Indesign when I placed them in there.
So, Indesign must be converting the file to CMYK? And that's why the colors change once I convert to PDF? What do you think?
Also, I used InDesign to place the files so that I could create a 2-page pdf easily that the printer could work with. I had a 4-up handbills page in there that I was planning on printing as well.
So, if this looks best in RGB, what do you think about me sending an RGB file to the printer and then printing it that way? I've been told that RGB is no good for printing, but I've also read otherwise as well...
Thanks again!!
