Colors look odd

I just got the new CS4 version and am working on a graphic in
fireworks utilizing a template graphic. Whenever I open up any
exhisting graphic in fireworks, the colors in the image are not the
actual print colors. I am not sure if this makes sense and I am
sure there is some property I have to change somewhere but I can
figure it out. Anyone know what this is?

Print colors and screen colors are two different color
spaces. Was your
template done in CMYK perhaps? If yes, that's the cause of
the color
shift. Fireworks works in RGB color space and does not use
embedded
color profiles.

How can I change the background color of odd/even rows in a panelCollection

Hi everyone.
I'm using a panelCollection and I need to change the backgroung color for odd/even rows in the table,
how can I do this, using a stylesheet, is there a special selector or property for this?
globalResultCollection (UIPanelCollection object) , is a collection of UITable elements, and it's working fine.
I just want to change the defaul background color for rows.
Thanks
<af:panelCollection id="GLOBAL_RESULT_COLLECTION"
binding="#{admin.view.globalResultCollection}"
styleClass="globalResultCollectionRegion"
clientComponent="true">
<f:facet name="menus">
<af:menu id="GLOBAL_OPERATION_MENU"
binding="#{admin.view.globalOperationMenu}" />
</f:facet>
<f:facet name="toolbar">
<af:toolbar inlineStyle="width:100%"
binding="#{admin.view.globalOperationToolbar}"

Colors look different in browser window than in InDesign or Photoshop

So, the colors look quite different (brighter) on Kuler (in
my Firefox browser window), than when I download or copy the CMYK
numbers exactly over to InDesign or Photoshop. In Kuler, the colors
are significantly brighter and more saturated than how they appear
in my design software.
My coworker theorizes that InDesign & Photoshop are
'compensating' for how the color will actually look when printed.
Thoughts? Is there a setting I need to change on either
Firefox or my Adobe software so the colors match up?

I have a similar problem - colours look brigher in Firefox,
IE and Photoshop, darker in Illustrator and Dreamweaver. I've tried
resetting the color settings in Bridge, but still get the same
difference between Photoshop, and Illustrator and Dreamweaver. I
can't understand this at all. I don't know if it has something to
do with the fact that I have a color profile called "Natural Color
Pro" installed on my computer (came with the monitor) which
Photoshop reminds me is faulty every time I open it - I tell it to
ignore the profile. I don't seem to be able to uninstall it for
some reason.

HP Color Laserjet CM1015 MFP prints colors looking like 3D while single colors print fine.

HP Color Laserjet CM1015 MFP prints colors looking like 3D while single colors print fine. I have tried several calibrations with no change. I have reset printer to factory default with no success.

Hi AFace; hope you are doing well and sorry to hear that you are having this issue.
Your HP Color Laserjet CM1015 MFP is a commercial product. I will suggest posting and looking in the forum for HP Business Support for a better chance at finding a prompt solution.
You may find the commercial Laserjet board here.

How come when i copy a color from one page to another, the color looks faded?

I'm using the same color in a multi-page layout. When i copy a color box from one page to another, the color looks faded on some pages. WHY?! Thanks!

So i checked the blend spaces - both are CMYK (as this doc will be offset printed). Something really strange is happening! See attach below: the 2 blues (same setup/blend space, color breakdown, etc...) look different! And my client is PICKY! ugh. HELP! Thanks again!

Pdf color looks different in preview and acrobat?

I notice that the colors in various PDF files I have look different in Preview and in Acrobat. Is there some weird color profile issue?
To be specific, I can create a PDF file in various ways, of a slide deck I originally created using Keynote. It has various different color blocks in the slides. In particular some acid green colors look very different depending on whether I open the PDF in Acrobat or in Preview.
Preview shows the colors as they were in the original keynote application. But Acrobat shows them far more muted.
I learned from another post that if I create the PDF by first saving to postscript and then creating the PDF using Acrobat, the issue seems to go away. However this is very inconvenient.
In short, it seems as though there is some peculiar difference between the way Preview and Keynote (and probably Pages ) handle color and the way Acrobat handles color.
Is there some way to fix this using some setting in one of the programs?
By the way, this is not a new problem. I noticed it with previous OS's as well as previous versions of Keynote. I am currently using the latest version of everything.

Same problem here. I was printing a PDF that my designer had sent me. Before I have always used Acrobat, but I've started using Preview in Leopard since it's faster and more powerful than before. But the colors were seriously wrong, often reversed completely. I believe this file was originally created in Illustrator.

Apple's Alpha Transitions and Color Looks. How to Install and Use?

A few months ago I downloaded the Alpha Transitions and Color Looks from the FCS3 website.
I have just re-discovered the .dmgs on one of my hard drives but my memory is a complete blank!
I cannot remember whether I used them or installed them but seem to recollect reading some instructions somewhere!
Where should they be installed and is there any info on using them?
(Possibly in a few more months I will come across this info that I may have downloaded originally).

Digging around I found most of the answers so will add them here in case anyone else suffers from a similar memory to mine!
The Color Looks .dmg contains the instructions, the main ones being:-
To install the Color looks
1 Locate the Color Looks folder in the image you downloaded.
2 Select the individual folders in the Color Looks folder and copy them to /Users/username/Library/Application Support/Color/Effects/.
The next time you open Color, the new looks will be available in organized folders in the Color FX bin, located in the Color FX room. Opening the individual folders with categories of looks such as "Blues and Greens" and "Glows" will reveal new Color looks presets that can be applied by double-clicking.
If you like, you can move the default looks that come with Color into these folders, to keep everything organized. You can also save your own Color FX presets into these folders.
As for the Alpha transitions, there is of course just one, found in the Wipes folder, which is modified using the media that comes in the download.

Colors look different in titler than on timeline

Colors look different in titler than on timeline. Here's a screen grab. The upper image is the program monitor and the lower image is the titler. Both are on the same monitor.
I guess it's a bug and I will report it but I wonder if anyone else is seeing this.

What is your Premiere Monitor Playback Res set at?
What is the Preview Setting?
Jims advice is useless in this instance. He expects you to do an output file everytime you make a tweak in Titler or Sequence just to see what you might abitrarily be getting.

Color Looks Different in Aperture Viewer Compared to Full Screen

The color in my photos looks different depending on how I view them. In Aperture's Viewer and in Photoshop Elements 6, it looks what I consider to be normal. In Aperture's Full Screen view, and in other applications such as Preview and Safari, the colors look super-saturated: much more vibrant than in real life.
The photos were imported into Aperture as JPEGs, directly from my camera. Previews are turned off in Aperture, and I have it set to export using sRGB. I'm using an external Dell display that's been calibrated with Spyder2 Express. Turning on Onscreen Proofing in Aperture (and trying different profiles) doesn't seem to change the display in the Viewer at all.
How can I make the color in the Viewer match the color in other applications? It's hard to edit when I can't accurately see what I'm doing.

Thanks for the quick and helpful reply! I didn't know there was such a thing as a default display, but after setting that to the external the photos look good again.
I guess I wasn't using the right search terms, but after reading your reply I was able to find this huge thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1394928&start=0&tstart=0
It seems to me that this is an OS bug, because the images were displaying incorrectly in Preview, Safari, etc. Each display has been calibrated and has a ColorSync profile, and the OS knows which display the window is on, so it should be able to figure out which profile to use.

I created a brochure in pages and exported it to a pdf format. The pdf looks and opens perfectly using preview but when opened in adobe reader (which my printer uses), fonts look odd, transparencies don't display...etc. Tells me error exists on page?

I created a brochure in pages and exported it to a pdf format. The pdf looks and opens perfectly using preview but when opened in adobe reader (which my printer uses), fonts look odd, transparencies don't display...etc. Tells me error exists on page?

Does this essentially mean there is no way to fix this problem on my end? It's a pity because the design and branding of my brochure will suffer if I remove transparencies and use different fonts. It also concerns me moving forward because it means the quality of print on my pieces will be significantly lower because most commercial printers use Adobe products.

Color Looks not showing up in Color FX tab, help!

I am running Color 1.5 on Snow Leopard, downloaded the Color Looks package and installed them in Users/Application Support/Color/Effects. However, even after a computer restart, the new effects are still not appearing anywhere in Color.
I have also tried removing everything from Color's effects folder in Application Support, but all of the effects still stay in Color's interface and function. This has me quite confused as to the source of Color's effects.
Anybody else had this problem? Is there some way to get Color to "refresh" and look for new additions to the Effects folder?
Thanks.

And the minute I post, I solve my own problem. Please disregard this post.

How do I get a water color looking photo in elements 10

Colors look radically different

Sorry if this is such a newbie question…without fail, whenever I find a theme I like, it looks completely different on my system. I can either re-create the color using cmyk or rgb values in Illustrator OR import the theme, and the colors always look different from what I see looking at them on the kuler website. Using CS3, 24" iMac v10.5.8.
Thanks!
Cheri

Yeah, I am seeing the same thing. When I build a palette in Illustrator and then enter the exact same color values in Kuler to build/save a palette, the colors look very different. And from what I can tell, the Illustrator versions are much more accurate. Another interesting thing, I have 2 monitors calibrated to match, and can drag items from one to the other with very little color shift ... but when I drag a Kuler page (or even a screen capture of a kuler page), the colors shift dramatically from one monitor to the other. Very strange.

Split line/tone Pantone swatches of same color look different

QUESTION: In Illustrator I need to split a Pantone color into two different swatches (line and tone). When I duplicate the swatch and rename it with an "L" in front, the color looks different (with overprint preview)! Same CMYK values – I checked. I know it has something to do with how the swatch is named, because if I rename both swatches I don't have this problem. What's going on and how can I fix this?

John Danek wrote:
Not sure, but I would not recommend renaming Pantone Spot color swatches. What's the point? I mean, why would you mess with the names?
I think they wants to use one swatch for certain parts of elements like the stroke and and perhaps the other for fills but of different and not necessarily common paths.
Changing the name make it easier for them to know which is applied to the other. There coud be a reason to keep them separate and to have the names be different to make the work flow effiecient.
I think the reason is that since they are now two different swatches it treats it as two different inks one from the book and the other from a CMYK mix.
It simply does not recognize the second swatch as a book color which would have to be a second plate with the same ink.
You cannot rename a book color.
So unless you were planning to hit the piece with two plates with the same spot color what you want to do is not possible.
I can see where you want this but I see no way of fixing it except a feature request.
Perhaps placing the same swatch in two different color groups?

Why the colors look so different betweet my Camera Raw and Bridge?

We know that after editing images in Camera Raw, thumbnails in Bridge will updated according to the new xmp files.
However, for some of my Raw files, the colors look very different in Bridge after makeing adjustments in Camera Raw, I can see more red in those phoots. But when I reopen the file in Camera Raw, all the colors are just correct.
For those photos without applying xmp files the colors looks exactly the same in Camera Raw and Bridge.
Does this means that my Camera Raw and Bridge use different color space? How can I fix this problem? Thank you

If you want help, you need to specify your platform (Mac or Windows), the exact versions of your Operating System, Photoshop, ACR plug-in and Bridge.
Also look at your Bridge preferences and tell us what you have your Thumbnail preferences set to.
Re-setting your preferences and purging the cache would also help. It could be something as simple as a corrupt cache.
Bridge is Color Managed, but it does not use a color space of its own. It applies the color space with which each image is tagged, it assigns sRGB to untagged files.
When was the last time you calibrated and profiled your monitor?
Details would help.
