Colors don't match between PS and AI (CS 3)

CMYK images are displaying differently for me between PS and AI. In PS when they look "good" (and print similarly on my profiled Epson), in AI they look more contrasty and saturated, with a little color shift in the greens (towards blue).
My monitor is calibrated with a Monaco Optix, and I notice the difference between apps both on it and on my MacBook Pro screen.
Image profile is the standard SWOP v2. In AI, the document profile is SWOP v2. "Proof Colors" is unchecked in both apps. (If I check it, by default AI is radically different because it defaults to simulating black ink. Disabling this causes Proof Colors to have no visual effect.)
I asked this already in the AI forum, and the answer I got is basically "they should match, they do for me". I noticed elsewhere on this forum that AI and PS were different in color management, or rendering, or something, but didn't see much info beyond that.
I figured there were enough color hounds on this forum to set me straight.

With a properly calibrated and profiled monitor, and with correct color settings in both programs, trust Photoshop's colors over Illustrator's.
This may have changed in CS4, but in CS3 Illustrator hadn't caught up with Photoshop in regard to color management.

  • Withdrawal Qty don't match between ECC and APO

    Hi Experts.
    I am facing a discrepancy for Withdrawal Qty between ECC and APO before delivery/PGI creation.
    In ECC T.code MD63 I am able to see the withdrawal Qty as expected but in APO a duplicated withdrawal Qty is being created. But this is not happening for all materials, only some specifics materials. I did a check in Material Master data and I have no found any difference between a material that is working and one that is not working...
    Can please somebody explain me why APO is dobling the Withdrawal Qty.
    Thanks a Lot
    Daniel Campos.

    Please check wthether you have dp index duplication in this problem.
    Please follow the process.
    For this process , you need to follow these steps .
    1. From the table /SAPAPO/MATKEY , find the product id of the product for which you feel there is problem .
    2. Find the location id from table /SAPAPO/LOC for the location.
    3. Use the above found 'product id' and 'location id' to find the dp index in table "/SAPAPO/DP_HEAD "  .
    Enter the planning version ' 000 ' in this table . If there is some error you will find multiple entries of the 'dp index ' in this table for the ' 000 ' planning version. If error found use below program to delete the dp index .
    4.  Precaution should be taken before we delete the 'Dp Index' as the consumption history is lost due to this .          In the program  'Z_DEL_WITHDRAWL'  there are 2 check boxes " update " and " list ". List will show the DP index and update will delete it. Need to extremely careful in this program as wrong selection will cause problem .

  • Printing from InDesign and Photoshop - colors don't match

    I'm printing the same CMYK image from Photoshop and from InDesign, to a HP desktop color printer. I'm using CS3, all the color settings are identical in both programs, but the printed colors don't match. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    (cross-posted in InDesign forum)

    I have had the same problem: an image printed from PS differs from the same image printed from ID. However, I can't very well print as bitmap from ID since the image is part of a spread, including text. I have tried various combinations of settings. I made the PS image to 100% of the ID final size (in the layout). I tried various print dialogue settings (high transparency flattener, medium transparency flattener, color managed, not color managed, CMYK output and leave unchanged ... every combination I could think of). ID does something on printer output. My understanding (at least from CS2) was that ID output to printer uses a PDF format of some sort. I had the idea maybe the ID output did some sort of resampling or re-rendering of the image, but have not prooved that out. I did get some slight improvement in the ID output when the image in the ID layout was put in at 100% (whereas it had been 88% (the original image being bigger than the ID layout size). What I am getting now in CS3 is a clean looking photo in PS, but in ID, skin tones look somewhat blotchy and a bit more saturated. The PS image is better than ID, and while ID is not bad, why is it not as clean as PS? I can definitely see the difference between PS and ID output and know it will show on press, too. Any suggestions?

  • Colors don't match when printing pictures on J4860 all-in-one

    When I print pictures, the colors are not true.  It doesn't matter what software I use, but usually it's Photoshop CS3.  I thought it was my monitor - that I wasn't seeing the true colors in my files.  But I've been able to verify that the colors on screen match the subject in the photo.  The prints from the HP J4860 do not match the screen images.  I currently have new ink, and they are new HP cartridges, not generic or refilled cartridges, but this has been a problem through many ink cartridge replacements.

    Hi there.
    I don't know if there is much we can do to improve your output.  First off, I want confirm you are using an OfficeJet J4680.  We don't have a J4860.
    Could you post an image that is unsatisfying, and let us know what you dislike?  I'm going to involve a color expert here, and he'll look to see if we can do anything. 
    regards, CF
    I work for HP and hope to make your day Sproutastic!

  • Only Smart Playlists match between iPhone and iTunes for songs purchased on iPhone

    I purchase an album on my iPhone.  The music shows up on my iPhone in its Purchased playlist.  I start my computer and the music automatically downloads on my computer and is placed into the Purchased playlist under the iTunes Store on the left panel in iTunes on my computer.  I sync the phone to iTunes in which I have this Purchased playlist selected to sync with my iPhone.  And here's the rub:
    From then on, when I plug in my iPhone to sync, it shows up as a device on the left panel of iTunes.  You click on it to show the folders below and, when you click on the phone's Purchased playlist on the computer (left panel under devices), it shows all the new songs I just purchased there in the purchased playlist.  But when you open the actual playlist on the iPhone, some of the songs from the new album are missing from the Playlist on the iPhone.  Again, ALL of the songs still show on the playlist in iTunes and ALL of the songs STILL show on the playlist in iTunes that is under the device iPhone listing in the left panel of iTunes.  So...even iTunes thinks that ALL the songs are still in the Purchased playlist on the iPhone, but when you open the iPhone, some of the songs from the playlist are missing.
    I've even tried creating new playlists with different names and dropping all of the new album songs into this different new playlist and syncing this new playlist to the iPhone.  Even then, the same songs are STILL missing on the new synced playlist on the  iPhone.
    There is only way that I can make all the songs show up on an iTunes playlist and on the same iPhone playlist.  This only happens if I create and use a Smart Playlist to specifically select those songs.  A Smart playlist always shows the correct songs in both iTunes and the iPhone.  But, again ONLY if it's a Smart Playlist.  If I make any regular playlist and drop the songs into it in iTunes, the playlist shows up on my iPhone but is missing some of the songs.
    One other thing...I have no idea how this happens or what is causing it.  Sometimes, one or two of the missing songs will show up hours or days later.  Not sure if it's because I played them on my phone or on my computer iTunes and that caused some flag to trip that then allowed them to show up in the playlist from which they were missing.
    Don't tell me to delete all music and resync all music or to manually manage my songs or to restore my phone.  I've done that so many times and it does not work.  I've tried unchecking the songs and rechecking the songs between syncs.  I've tried deleting the songs from all devices and redownloading.  Nothing works.  The only way I've been able to fix this is the delete all content from my phone and do a complete restore and NOT restore from my previous backup (treat my iPhone like a new phone with no backup available).  With 4000 songs and 100+ apps and podcasts, etc...that is WAY too cumbersome and takes to long to do everytime I purchase a song on my iPhone.
    Again, this is NO ISSUE with a Smart Playlist...but only a Smart Playlist.  The work around right now is that I have a Smart Playlist that always shows the last 200 songs recently purchased.  That playlist is always accurate on both iTunes and the iPhone.

    I checked again last night, and now iTunes matched the phone settings, saying zero space was available. I had nearly 20 gigs of "Other" data :/
    So I erased all settings/data on the iPhone and restored from an iCloud backup from last week, and now everything seems fine, with over 15 GB of available space.

  • Calendar times do not match between iphone and outlook

    I have an iPhone 4S, at work I use a PC and Outlook.  I have both my PC and my iPhone on the same time zone.  If I set an appointment in either calendar the time gets switched in the other.  For example:  I set an appointment in my iphone calendar for 11am.  One my outlook calendar it shows the same appointment at 10am.  Both systems are set to the same time zone, what gives?  How do I fix this?
    Another thing I should add is I am in Saskatchewan Canada.  We do not switch time for daylight savings in March an November. So when the time switched in November everthing works great, it is only between March and November whe this problem arrises.  Saskatchewan is a setting in timezones for bothe the iphone and outlook so I don't think this should matter.  Unless one of the companies does not know Saskatchewan does not change times.
    Any suggestions?

    Apple puts Saskatchewan into Central Standard Time, which isn't correct.  Then when it syncs to Outlook, Outlook puts the appointment into the CST time zone, instead of the Saskatchewan -6 time zone.  The problem is Apple's iCloud sending the wrong information to Outlook.
    Need a fix for this please.

  • Problems matching between original and remastered albums

    I purchased "Tusk" by Fleetwood Mac from the iTunes store awhile back.  I now have a remastered CD version that is different than the one for sale on iTunes and also has a bonus disc.  The bonus disc stuff is syncing and matching just fine on all devices.
    However, when I sync the original remastered album to the cloud, I go to my other devices and it's not pulling the new remastered version for what should be that album.  It looks like it's matching to the older original master, but only for about 1/3 of the songs on the new version.
    Does anybody have a tip to make iTunes match realize that the remastered version should be all separate version from the original version.
    I get the right versions on the original comptuer i loaded up the files to, but all my other devices are stuck with some older masters of some of the songs.
    I've tried renaming the new version "remastered" and changed the old one to "original master" but it's still having trouble
    Any help?
    thanks.

    Unfortunately there's no known solution yet.  Mastering differences are one of the problems that Apple hasn't yet addressed.  
    And, as far as we can tell, re-tagging your files doesn't make any difference at all -- it seems to be using waveforms only and sometimes it makes the "wrong" decision.   Not just for this, but also mono tracks being Matched to stereo and explicit tracks between Matched to clean versions.

  • TS3999 Calendars don't sync between Iphone and Ipad.

    When a calendar entry is added from my wife's phone to mine there is no entry, but it's on my mini-pad instead. Why is it on one device and not the other? I have chosen sync and all events in settings , but is still doesn't work for both devices, only the min-pad. I can add an event manually, but can't receive any notifications on the calendar if its sent to my Iphone. Please advise, thanks.

    It requires that you set up the same iCloud account on all your devices (Settings > iCloud) or at least that you share some of the calendars between you and your wife (in case that you are using two separate iCloud accounts which is by the way recommended).

  • Color matching between Ai and Ae

    I've been trying to recreate some simple elements from an Illustrator document in After Effects, but I can't get the colors to match. I've read up on setting color profiles and to the best of my knowledge I set them correctly (but I'm probably missing something).
    I set the illustrator document to Adobe RGB (Edit > assign profile) and i set after effects to the same (file > project settings).
    But i still can't get the colors to match. Just so you know I'm setting the colors using the RGB values from illustrator.
    What am I missing?

    Don't assign any profiles at all, just work in normal RGB mode. The rest may simply relate to a hopelessly mis-tweaked monitor or a wrong monitor profile and the apps dealing different with that part.

  • Z1 viewfinder colors don't match captured footage on TV and FCP

    Hi.
    I shoot underwater on a Sony Z1 and white balance using the viewfinder to what seems a satisfactory result. However, once captured, the colors of the footage on both the Z1's LCD and its viewfinder simply do not look like the colors in FCP or on any monitor (neither broadcast monitor, nor regular TV).
    This is especially exasperating on days when the water has a greenish tint. When I white balance to make it more blue, it does appear blue in the viewfinder while shooting, but then turns out as green on tape (like it actually is).
    I'm not able to shoot colors properly if I can't rely on what the viewfinder shows me. We've checked the Z1 manual and tried all sorts of things (color extract etc), but the only thing one seems to be able to do about viewfinder colors is adjust saturation and brightness. Not hue or such. Anyone know details about Z1 color settings?
    Or could this have to do with the capture settings? I shoot 1080i50 and use the same HDV-1080i50 Easy Setup in FCP.
    We want to avoid color correcting the HDV material too much in post, so I'm trying to get the best result whilst shooting.
    Any ideas gratefully appreciated.

    I think Zeb means match the image on the LCD to that on the monitor.
    However, remember that underwater you have two issues to contend with: the LCD image has to pass through your underwater camera housing, through water and your mask before you see it. All that affects colour.
    Seconds, more importantly, the deeper you go, the further towards the blue end of the spectrum your ambient light shifts. You need to white balance regularly, not just once. When you change depth, when lighting conditions change etc.
    Take a look here: http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/white_cardsdouglas.html
    Useful info on Warm White cards.
    And here:
    http://www.timsaxon.co.uk/Uwvideo.html
    For filter info.
    Basically, ignore your LCD as a reference for colour and make sure you white balance regularly. Whatever setup you do on the surface will change the moment you're in the water.
    Edit: Also, to make life easy, consider topping each shot with an underwater reference chart and correct to that in post:

  • Wrong color matching between Acrobat and ID, PS, Ai

    using the new CC I have this problem: in acrobat pdf + colors are darker than the same files open with PS-ID or AI.
    In BR I set and synchronized color settings for all software but is this difference of color that repeat in acrobat + is dark. Has anyone had the same problem?
    Thnks

    Acrobat doesn't use the global CS color settings. You have to set them manually in the Acrobat prefs.
