Colour background images changes when applying effect

Hey,
I created a page, with a large background image in the back. When applying an effect (like shadow, or transparency) to text above, the colour of the image below changes, it becomes less saturated. This persist even when exporting and viewing in Acrobat Reader.
Im using InDesign CS3 with Windows XP SP2
Greets!

Try changing your transparency blend space to RGB.

Why are my still images Blurry when applying effects?

I am creating a slideshow video using images with up to 18mp. The images look wonderful clear and sharp until I try and add video effects to the slide, like zooming in or panning.
I am a user of both CS5.5 at work and newly acquired CS6 for home. I like what I have been able to do, however this makes me very frustrated when everything looks good except for the images with effects. Should I be applying effects differently? or what?
Thanks,
G

Stick around for awhile... there is OFTEN a good deal of "healthy discussion" (ie-disagreement) that goes on here
That discussion brings out a LOT of different experiences (you say X doesn't work... but it works just fine for "me") that sometimes, maybe even often, leads to increased and/or new knowledge for everyone
Other times, you just need to realize that what works for "me" may, or may not, work for "you" exactly the same way based on your work flow
Read what everyone offers, try what you can... and make LOTS of notes so, over time, you will develop work practices that work best for you
Personal example...
Many people export out of PPro as MPEG2-DVD to then use Encore to author a DVD
My PERSONAL work flow is to export my AVCHD edits to Widescreen DV AVI to give to Encore... so I may use Encore's Automatic Transcoding setting to make a "best" fit of video length to size (single or dual layer) of DVD
This is because I just don't care to get into all the details of figuring out the PPro settings when exporting... I let Encore do all the math for me
That process works just fine for me... other people want to figure out their own math for the PPro export settings
I say what I do, and why, but I certainly do not TELL anyone else that they MUST do it my way

Background image change when refresh it or LOADED

hi all,
I have a div on my page that has a slide show . Like this:
<div class="slider-container">
 <div class="mp-slider">
 <ul class="items">

 <li><img src="images/slide-2.jpg"/></li>
 <li><img src="images/slide-3.jpg"/></li>
 <li><img src="images/slide-4.jpg"/></li>
 <li><img src="images/slide-5.jpg"/></li>

 <li><img src="images/slide-12.jpg"/></li>
 <li><img src="images/slide-13.jpg"/></li>
 </ul>
 </div>

If I have a set of 13 images, how can I use to change which image is used each time the page is loaded or REFRESH
Thanks!!

By default, the first image in your list will always load first. If you want to randomize the image sequence, use jQuery Cycle2 plugin with the "Random" option.

Keep background image same when creating new workspace

Hi and thanks in advance for any input,
Up until I plugged in a mini-display port to HDMI connection/dongle I would have the same background when I created a new workspace (OSX 10.7 Lion).
Now, when I create a new workspace, the background set's itself to the first picture in a set folder with a default option of rotating the background image after a set period of time.
My question is this: how do I get back to the use case that I am familiar with, where a new workspace has the same background image as the original 'Desktop 1' background?
Thanks for looking,
Jordan from CO

Hey Richard,
What are you Desktop properties set to?
This is an interesting question. My initial (Desktop 1) properties are as follows:
// Properties are set to keep the same background image
However, when I add a new Space, to create Desktop 2, my desktop properties default to:
// Properties of 'New Desktop' (Space) default to Change picture every 10 minutes.
// When I am connected to an external display, the background image of Bonaroo shown in the screen shot becomes the new default; what is odd is that when the external display is not plugged in, another background becomes the default. Odd.
So, replying to your comment made me think of something which ended up being the answer that I have been looking for:
•Why not duplicate the background and place it in its own folder? This way, there would be no other images for it to default to and to change the properties away from, as the folder has not changed.
Indeed a workaround, but the answer to my problems:
One more thing to address:
Even if you don't have random backgrounds set, I would think it a good design idea to make them random. Otherwise users could easily become confused about which desktop they are looking at.
My rebuttal to your design philosophy is that I love the consistency a single background presents. Think of iOS: one background, multiple pages. Users look at the content presented on the page. I regularly use the four finger gesture to enter the 'Exposé' feature of OSX Lion, and this gives me further indication of which desktops arrangement.
I have read other reviews stating that the feature you noted is a great idea, so you are not alone (to have multiple desktop backgrounds for color coding what workspace/desktop/space you are in). My experience was somewhat jarring, however, as I was used to a specific use case of a consistent background; thus I have been posting in an effort to find a solution to my problem. Again, thank you for your insights; you are the one that lead me to a solution, afterall.
// Separate note: expose will rearrange your windows/spaces/workspaces/desktops when you utilize command+tab. This design feature has a distinct iOS feel; as in iOS, your spaces and apps are dynamically rearranged based on the order or applications used.
// Here is a quick photo example illustrating the point:
// (I would have taken a screen shot of the command-tab interface but I cannot take a screen shot while holding down command; I use command-shift-3 for a full screen shot)
1) Apps open in order (for this purpose I am sticking to one application per space and am including two fullscreen apps ): Finder, Safari, System Preferences, Mail
// If I command+tab over to the full screen Mail app, my spaces are now rearranged as follows:
// So now, to further illustrate the point, I can get 'Desktop 2' to be next to Desktop 1 by command-tabbing from Finder [Desktop 1] to System Preferences [Desktop2]; when I enter expose, the spaces are again rearranged to this:
// This is similar to iOS' multitasking where a users multitasking list is dynamically rearranged based on the app that was used last in order to allow the user to gesture to the last app with ease.

How can you make a background image change to a faded state at a certain point in scroll?

I'm referring to a technique I've seen used in Relevant Magazine's iPad app if anyone has used it. I understand having a shape behind text that has a feathered gradient and when you scroll the text the shape gradually fades out the background image. But this is not the effect I'm trying to acheive. On some of the articles in Relevant, the screen is a full image and as you scroll the type up, the entire background dims when you scroll to a certain spot.
I've tried searching for hours, but I feel like I'm getting no where because I don't really know what to search for. I feel like it requires use of something other than what DPS is capable of. Hopefully this makes sense and I'd greatly appreciate any suggestions and help!
Thanks!

Try applying the feathered gradient to the scrollable content frame, not the background frame. It will appear to change the color of the background frame.

White color of RGB image changes when exporting to CMYK PDF

I'm used to work as long as possible in RGB. Even my images placed in InDesign stay in RGB. I only convert to CMYK while exporting to PDF. This always worked fine. I now noticed that RGB images with a white background changed in the CMYK PDF.
The white wasn't white any more, but C=1/M=1/Y=1/K=0 !
Result is a very light-grey background when printed on an offset press.
If I convert the image to CMYK in Photoshop first, I don't have this problem. I always thought InDesign and Photoshop used the same conversion-tool? Guess not ...
I didn't have this problem in CS2, I think. So my guess is it got something to do with CS3, but I'm not sure.
Someone got an idea?
I use Adobe creative Suite CS3 5.0.4
Mac Os 10.5.5
Color Management is set to European Prepress (I already tried to change this --> no effect)

I've noticed that there are slight variations between Photoshop and ID, but I think it's just a rounding error. Photoshop's CMYK readouts are always integers, while ID swatches can readout numbers. So obviously it's possible to output 1.67% cyan, but Photoshop's info readout rounds that up to 2%. Try making an 253|253|253 RGB swatch in ID, then open Swatch Options and convert the swatch mode to CMYK. You'll get a conversion something like .78|.39|.39|0 depending on your profiles, yet the Separation Preview reads out 1|0|0|0 with the total ink as 2%.

Appearance of images changes when moving from ACR to PSE11 Editor .. why?

I run Windows 8.1 x64 bit on my new PC and use PSE11 which opens raw files automatically into ACR. Once I've finished editing an image in ACR I then click on 'Open Image' which transfers the part edited file to the PSE11 Editor. Once there I perform a few additional tweaks before cropping, sharpening and saving as a jpeg.
At about the same time as I installed PSE11 onto my new PC I became acutely aware of a change in the appearance of my images as they transferred from ACR to PSE11 Editor. Having performed the basic adjustments in ACR and things are to my liking, the image now opens in PSE11 Editor looking rather washed out by comparison .. less contrast, maybe a little more brightness and a certain degree of reduced colour saturation.
Obviously all images are seen on the same monitor, so any fingers pointing at calibration issues don't count in this instance! I just need to know if there is a fix that will return me to the situation I've always had before, where the part edited ACR image looks the same when it opens in the PSE11 Editor. I have been using PSE in various versions for a number of years and this is the first time that I've experienced this irritating problem.
Help, please!

Thanks for your reply Michel ...
The colour setting in both Editor and Organiser is: 'Always Optimise Colours for Computer Screens'
I believe this option will select the sRGB colour space by default and that the option 'Always Optimise for Printing' will default the colour space setting to Adobe RGB. Is this so? I only print occasionally (most of my viewing is on the monitor or the TV) but it would be nice to know if the chosen colour space chosen produce this odd effect I'm experiencing (although I sincerely doubt that it's got anything to do with it).
This option will be used by the ACR conversion module to set the colour space of the file imported in the editor. So, you are right, the sRGB colour space is a good choice for you. What's good is that the raw file itself has NO colour space. If you have edited a raw file for sRGB, good. But you can set your editor to 'optimize for print', and you'll get an aRGB version for printing. Worth a try if you have a good printer (mine is an all-in-one with 6 inks and I can see the difference for some subjects).
My camera (EOS 5D MkIII) is always set to sRGB. Is this significant?
No for raw files. That's used only for the in-camera conversion to jpeg. It's a simple tag which is ignored in the ACR conversion process (see above).
The main issue though remains, namely the fact that part edited images look washed out in PSE Editor in spite of looking just fine in ACR a split second earlier, so I'm still looking for a remedy.
Such a difference is often noted when a file with aRGB colour space is seen in a software that believes it's sRGB. Nothing in your worklows seems to explain that.
Do you see a difference when you see the same edited picture in a non colour-managed software? I can't help you more for the moment.

How can I make background images change automatically

I want my page background to change automatically after a set period of time (almost like a very slow slideshow). Is there any reason (other than file size) I can't simply do this with an animated gif as my body background image? I haven't got the expertise to do anything too technical. Thanks

Is there any reason (other than file size) I can't simply do this with an animated gif as my body background image?
BG images are not meant to be animated. It's a performance problem - the browser would have to continually re-render the whole page, since GIFs work on specific increments. That's why it's not supported. What you wanna do would be best done with jQuery/ JavaScript or Flash, where the substitution can be controlled, so the browser only needs to work hard when there is actualyl something changing. whether that's a good idea, is another matter, though. Personally I really despise such toy-ish features, as they severely impair usability and readability.

Why does my image change when imported into Mac Captivate?

The image is a png and originally part of a Captivate 6 template created in Windows. When I import the image into Mac OS X Captivate 6 the quality literally changes before my eyes.
Can anyone tell me why this is happening? and how I can correct it?
Thank you!

If that's the only place you used that unique font, yes. Convert the textbox to an image file by applying a drop shadow to the font and setting the opacity of the drop shadow to 5%.

PDF image changes when opening in photoshop

sometimes when we open PDF files in photoshop the image changes. sometimes text disappears and other times fading occurs. Here is how it can be duplicated:
1. First try downloading the file here http://www.m3printing.com/files/wierd.pdf
2. open the file with acrobat. take note of the red NYN in the upper left
3. open the file with photoshop. you will notice the YN becomes faded
any clues as to why this is happening would be greatly appreciated
ps. we use photoshop CS2

This doc is unnecessarily complex in its color structure.
It uses CMYK and seven spot colors. CMYK is DeviceCMYK,
which means, the space is not defined in the doc by an ICC
profile.
A part of the red text vanishes if the doc is opened in Photo-
shop in CMYK mode. I don't know why. Perhaps a trans-
parency flattening problem.
Analyzed by Acrobat > Tools > Print Production > Preflight.
My suggestion: convert each page into a well specified CMYK
space as recommended by the printer.
The fastest solution:
Open in PhS in Lab mode with reasonably high resolution,
for instance 288ppi, convert into a specified CMYK space
and save as TIFF.
The correct solution:
Go back to the source program (InDesign) and replace all
Spots by process colors. Flatten and save by new name.
Export as PDF.
Flattening in advance to Export guarantees the appearance.
Export with layers contains the risk that flattening at the
receiver turns out to be wrong.

WHAT IN THE NAME OF GREAT CAESAR'S GHOST IS GOING ON HERE??
The background image on the second page SHIFTS over a few
pixels simply because I hard returned several times. The completion
of my entire site has been resting on this simple little headache.
Please help....

>>whenever I hard return several times
Stop doing that. There is never a valid reason in a properly
designed/constructed page to add empty paragraphs.
Probably... after adding content, even empty paragraphs, the
display window
in DW design view drops a vertical scroll bar thereby
changing the
horizontal location of the page's middle. Your bg image is
aligned middle so
it moves.
IOW there is no problem. Just build your page.

Cell/Background color changes when copying to other Excel 2010 document

When you copy and paste report cells (e.g. CO report outputted in Office integration, MS Excel) to a new Excel file, the background color changed dramatically (to bright red).
SAP Theme: SAP Signature Theme
Excel 2010
We tried paste option > match destination formatting but does not help.
Anyone has similiar problems? Appreciate any help.

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!

Why does color of image change when imported to Photoshop

When I import or edit my Lightroom image into Photoshop the color tones of the image change to a darker tone.
I'm using the same screen.
What can I do to correct this?

Thanks for both responses .
I tried changing the export settings but still get a different color image rom the one I get in Lightroom.
Also, the monitor was recently callbrated, so could the answer be in PHOTOSHOP's color management settings?
When I checked PS's Color Settings window the " Working Spaces" setting was at "sRGB"...
and
Color Management Policies @ "Preserve Embedded Profiles
My first export from LR was also @ sRGB.
Any thoughts on some common settings that might put this right?
Thanks again.

Pixelated vectors when applying effects?

For some reason Illustrator has decided to horribly rasterize my vectors whenever I attempt to apply effects. I've never had a problem with this before, it was fine one minute, the next, I'm getting these incredibly pixellated awful lookng mostrosities the second I open the effects gallery.
I've tried adjusting the raster effects (did it always rasterize the vectors when effects are applied? It never looked this horrbile before...), adjusting the dpi, enabling/disabling pixel preview or overprint preview, I've tried upscaling the vectors, downscaling the vectors, restarting my computer, reinstalling Illustrator, adjusting the power settings on my computer, blah, blah, blah- everything. NOTHING works.
Here's an example of what I'm talking about:
That object is about 2 inches in diameter, so it's not very small. I just don't get it.
What the hell's wrong with Illustrator?!!!!!
Any help would be way more than appreciated.
Thanks!

Star God,
What happens if you untick Align to Pixel Grid in the Transform panel?
Otherwise, you may try the following (you may have tried/done some of them already) and see whether it helps:
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer;
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup;
4) Move the folder with Illy closed;
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options;
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool if you have CS3/CS4/CS5, and reinstall.

Image changes when straightening

I've got some quite noticable brightness/colour changes on some of my images when using the straighten tool. With small waves on water, in particular, I can see the waves getting noticeably darker.
Anyone else seen this? (I'm not applying any other adjustments).
I know there'll always be some artifacts when doing this kind of inter-pixel interpolation, but it seems to me to be consistently in error, and in the same direction, in this case.
Quentin
P.S. I found these hints about gearing down the straightening rather handy:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=613193&tstart=15

Well, I haven't tried prints, but I've just tried exporting a 'before' and 'after' TIFF, and they both look OK.
So, yes, I think it's a limitation of the way Aperture displays the rotated image.
Note to self: don't straighten unless needed, and do any image adjustments with straightening switched off.
