Colour change problem

I have a layered .psd file with a cream background ( FFFDEB ) but after I save to web the cream colour has slightly changed ( FFFDEC ). The difference can be seen on web pages with FFFDEB background. I have previously created images which have saved correctly, so it can be done.
.psd file is 8bit, RGB image. Cinema HD display was set to Cinema HD profile....I have changed this to sRGB IEC61966-2.1 but it appears to have made no difference. PhotoShop color settings at Europe General Purpose 2 but I have tried North America General Purpose 2.
Please can you help?

The problem is PhotoShop and not web problem
I am just trying to help you understand what may be going on there -- Photoshop is a colormanaged app that Converts to Monitor RGB. Unmanaged apps on a Mac, including Dreamweaver, (for practical explanation) assume/apply/assign Monitor RGB which may explain the difference you are seeing.
layered PhotoShop file with a cream background. When I save it as a
jpeg the cream colour changes it's value from FFFDEB to FFFDEC. It's
close but the difference can be seen when I import it onto a
Dreamweaver page with FFFDEB background colour.
I am pretty sure Dreamweaver doesn't honor profiles and convert to Monitor RGB so Dreamweaver is more likely assuming/assigning/applying Monitor RGB to your graphic and page background colors when it displays them on a Mac monitor (exactly as an unmanaged Mac web browser).
This would be very easy to validate in Photoshop:
1) Open your original .psd in Photoshop, flatten it, Convert to 8-bit sRGB
2) Check the RGB values, then
3) View> Proof SetUp> Monitor RGB should duplicate what Dreamweaver is showing.
Bottom line is get your profiles in order and learn how the Mac OS and Photoshop deal with tagged and untagged color.
Good luck.

On Mac. Colours changed after switching to 64bit mode (ver 2.7)

Been using Lightroom 2.7 on my iMac quite happily and after reading a few articles realised it wasn't running in 64bit so changed it.
Now colours are all out, most noticeable on reds:
Before change
After Change
Any ideas why this is happening?
Tried changing back to 32bit and still the same so something has changed.
Thanks
Andrew
P.S Posted this on another forum and just to clarify here also, whilst the above are exported jpegs, these are used purely for illustration. The colour change is happening within lightroom itself, not on export.

After some advice elsewhere it seems I have 'lost' some of the camera calibration profiles.
I only have ACR3.1 and ACR4.4 listed and checked on another machine I used I normally have it set to Adobe Standard.
So, how can I get the profiles back?
OK. Problem solved. Reinstalled Lightroom.

Colour shift problem in CS5 not in Lightroom

Hi Guys,
This is a long post but to save time Ill try to explain my setup and my problem which has only started in the last three weeks. My setup: Win Xp pro SP3 fully updated on a well speced dell machine/ Lightroom 3 (v 33 v 711369) Cs5 (latest version). Fully self profiled (I write my own profiles using xRite Pulse) printing through QImage to Epson 7880. I have been using PS since v5 (approx 10 years) and Cap1 and then lightroom since it came out.
My workflow is simple: Import Nikon D3 raw files to Lightroom, Using either acr or more recently (maybe one change I have made!) Camera standard calibration. Colour correct crop etc and export an adobe RGB jpeg export setting below: Hi Guys,

All good so far. Colours on my profiled monitor are good. If I then print this file through Q image all is good (and this is most of my files!) . Happy days! However if I open in CS5 (Colour settings below-which have not changed for 10 years!) the colour changes. I am getting no profile mismatch warning (I shouldn’t – file is adobe rgb which is my working space). But there is a noticeable colour shift. If I do nothing to the file and resave the colour has shifted. I have tried opening a file/ saving with a different file name and printing the two on the same sheet of paper to eliminate printer issues – the shift that I see on my monitor is there. Why would opening an Adobe RGB jpeg in CS5 change its colour? It certainly never happened before. Also if within Lightroom I click “edit in PS”, open the file and resave the colour has shifted..
((I have also tried preserve embedded profile but this doesn’t solve the issue!)
My workaround is to do lightroom conversion, (colour correct!), Open and edit in CS5 (colour shift) save as different file name, Import into Lightroom (Now says embedded profile (This is correct I think) Do nothing in terms of colour (which now looks correct again!) and export (Wow Correct colour Again!!)
Does anybody know what is going on??
I have used half a roll of paper doing test prints and have established the following:
My monitor profile is correct, (What I see is what I get!)
QImage setting & My printer profile is correct ( What I see is what I get! By printing the two files on the same sheet (this will eliminate printer issues) I can see the CS5 file is very different - as on the monitor)
All lightroom exports are correct (what I see is what I get!)
I also opened a file on CS3 (across a network to a non colour managed machine but with adobe rgb work space, did nothing with the file but resave and the colours shift again!
I attach samples below: The difference reminds me of what an Adobe RGB file looks like on a non colour managed monitor – Flatter (no punch) but also a slightly green
Any Help would be much appreciated!
Thanks, Nigel
NB Also set to do nothing after export!

Very generally, they both describe profiles. ICC is the standard International Color Consortium format for profiles and ICM is Microsoft's flavor (standing for Integrated Color Management, I believe).
Photoshop et. al. are able to use both, but even a name match wouldn't mean the contents are identical. There is some possibility that they actually are equivalent under the covers in this case, and that my spotting the slight difference in names isn't the source of the visible color differences. It is almost certainly why the warning message is being emitted, though.
These may help further with definitions, but are not light reading by any means:

Can one choose the automatic colour change to an htnl link after using it to make it more obviously changed (currently two similar shades of blue)

having performed a search and visited a paticular web page produced by that search, the colour of the link changes and if found again in another search you know it has already been visited.
In many cases the change is from one shade of blue to another very similar shade of blue and it is very difficult to distinguish between them. An example would be at http://www.archive.org/advancedsearch.php?q=(parish%20registers).
Can this colour change be edited to something much more easily recognised?

I had the same issue and resolved it
I first remove the prefs folder and the plist files for illustrator in ~/Libary
next I logged off,
then I uninstalled illustrator using the adobe uninstaller(http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html)
Next I reinstall illstrator
after that it worked for me.

Colour change in identically exported PDFs: InDesign CS5 to CS6

Artwork turns out with a greener hue in a PDF Print document exported using InDesign CS6 trial software that has ruined a whole print run.
This catalogue has been printed in past years using CS4 and CS5 software, each time the colours in the exported PDF proof, PDF Print file and InDesign files being accurate and matching perfectly.
This time I used a trial of InDesign CS6 - Importing the same mother file as previous years and working on the document. When exporting the document however, despite using identical settings to export PDF files in the past, the exported PDFs turn out with a greener hue than the previous CS5 PDFs. I trialed a few different kinds of colour conversions in the PDF export window (i.e. 'no conversion' to 'convert to destination - RGB') just to see what happened - and all turned out with the same result. The colour change is small but this was exxaggerated at print and as a result the colours
looked drastically different from the catalogue the year before. Printing aside, (as it's a whole other ballgame), it came down to this slight PDF colour change.
I'm wondering if anyone can help explain this - does CS6 handle colour exporting differently to CS5?

Hi Eugene,
Looking up the settings, they say the following:
InDesign CS5: Unsynchronised "settings are not synchronised for consistent colour" (odd; CS5 version is where the file exported with accurate colours)
InDesign CS6: Synchronised "using the same colour settings for consistent colour management" (CS6 version exported with a colour change)
Another thing I've realised that might be an issue:
The product images are still in RGB format (supplied by the photographer), where everything else in the artwork is in CMYK format. I've run a test export where I've converted everything to CMYK and exported it to a PDF.
The results:
InDesign CS5: Same colours consistently on both PDFs with RGB images and with all CMYK images.
InDesign CS6: Green hue across PDF with RGB images in it, Correct colours in PDF with all CMYK images.
So is this where the problem lies? The CS6 software having Synchronised colour settings shows a colour change when RGB photos are exported to PDF?
Let me know your thoughts...

Why the Colour changes in AI ???

My friend had a PDF file created in AI. She gave me the PDF file only. I open the file with AI in order to do minor editing but when I copy this file and paste into a new AI document, the colour changes (it becomes darker) even both documents are in CMYK mode. (I am using Adobe Illustrator CC)
The same file my friend gave me, I did the same with Adobe Illustrator CS5, there is no problem.
Can anyone help? Thank you so much in advance.

I understand that for an export operation, but still puzzled why the histograms are almost identical in LR for images that had been brought into PS from the same RAW file and converted to different spaces (with slight differences undoubtedly due to the different gamuts). In that case, LR must be "honoring" the different color spaces, with the same appearance and histograms... But when I soft-proof the same RAW file I get very different histograms -- the sRGB more stretched out than the ProPhoto one. Those soft-proof histograms are "the same" (realizing they are all quick calculations) as when I do the corresponding convert to profile in PS.
Maybe I'm not getting my head around "the histogram of the proof target." That would be the more "dramatic" (changed) histogram I'm seeing in LR's soft proof and PS's convert to profile. But is there a reason to show it that way? Doesn't a histogram need to be interpreted in a color space to be meaningful?
If I go ahead with something like a Save for Web or Export from LR in that target color space, I'll then see the histogram return to more or less what it was before (given that rendering intent has done its thing).
Is it that the more dramatic histogram is simply representing the image in the wrong color space?? I can see that as a pragmatic decision.

Some colours change from Photoshop to Illustrator in Swatches saved in Exchange format

When I save a colour swatch in Photoshop Extended CS3 in the .ase format and load it into Illustrator CS3, some of the colours change completely - e.g. a bright orange #ffbb29 (in Ps) appears as a pale grey blue #B2BACE (in Ai). The problem seems to be with the use of upper or lower case - if the orange is question is saved as #FFBB29, it appears correctly in Illustrator (although bizarrely this seems to only affect some colours that feature (hex) letters).
Is there a way of getting Photoshop to automatically give the values in upper case? I know I could just retype them all, but it would take ages (I use Swatches all the time) and it kind of defeats the whole Exchange idea. Or is there another way round the problem? My colour settings are synched (via Bridge) across CS3 Design Premium. Thanks in advance.

Colour changes when importing Illustrator graphics into Flash CS3

Hi there!
I'm creating a Flash site, and all the graphics are imported
from Illustrator.
Also, in the Illustrator file, there are some Phtoshop
graphics with shadow effects on it.
The problem is, that when I import the .ai into Flash, a
pretty strong colour change occurs: everything becomes lighter. And
the shadow, wich is black in Photoshop, turns white in Flash!
Is there a way to solve this problem? I searched the net, and
some people say it's an OSX thing, wich is pretty strange, because
Mac is an obvious choice for loads of designers.
I've attached an image preview.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the anwsers!
However, the weird thing is, when I pick one of the photoshop
graphics, asign the profile to it, and import it into Flash, the
colors look fairly good. BUT when I import the complete Illustrator
file with alle the graphics in it, I still get the color shift. I
can now put all the graphics in the flash file, one at a time, but
I think thats not the most easy way to do it..

Colour changed after layer merge or layer flatten

Hi All,
After making several adjustment layers, the layer merge is performed. However, it is observed that the colour changed after layer merging. It is confirmed with the histogram. This phenomenon also happens in layer flatten. Any solution?

Not sure if this is related, but a previous post had color shift when he converted from RGB to any other profile and then back to RGB. Figured it was a rendering problem. Although he had latest video drivers he went back to previous one and solved the problem.
By any chance did this start after a driver upgrade?

Why does the colour change from web browsers to CS5?

Hi there
I´m running OSX 10.6.4 on a MacPro 2009, 2x2.26, 16 gb RAM.
Photoshop CS5 12.0.1.
When I import photos from the web (Safari or Firefox) to Photoshop, the colour changes drastically.
The only time the colours stay the same, is if I set the colour management to North American General Purpose 2, but this is a setting
I can´t use. I need to use my Spyder 3-calibrated RGB profile as RGB work space, and I use Fogra 27 or a specific cover art profile
for CMYK use.
I enclose a screenshot of my settings and the problems that occur.
Can someone help?
All the best!

When I import photos from the web (Safari or Firefox) to Photoshop, the colour changes drastically.
Most of the photos on the Web will be un-tagged sRGB (if they have a tag, an embedded profile, Photoshop (and color-managed browsers) will pick up the profile and display it properly...).
The short answer is to open the un-tagged file in in Photoshop> Edit> Assign Profile: sRGB
You may know, the Mac OS applies its default Monitor profile to untagged color, whereas, Photoshop will apply its default Working RGB if you tell it not to manage the document...if you have a wide-gamut monitor and Assign MonitorRGB to an sRGB file, you get an intense saturation boost especially in the reds (is a clue).
YOU MAY BE WISE to set something like sRGB as your Photoshop Working RGB with these Color Management Policies (to try and figure out what's going on)...
MonitorRGB equals Photoshop WorkingRGB (as you are set up there) is a disaster for any number of reasons — Photoshop already displays through the monitor profile so setting its Working Space to your monitor profile is BAD workflow for 99.99 percent of the users who setup that workflow...

Colour change to buttons

Hello,
I have a series of buttons placed side by side. I'm changing focus from one button to another using navigation keys. Now the problem is the focus is not clearly visible. Is there any option to do it?
I got some idea of using colour change option, when focus is on one button change its colour to some specific colour and rest to some other specific colour. But i'm not able to implement it clearly. so please give me some idea..
Thanking you,
sushmith
Thanking you,

Solved!
Go to Solution.

If you want to change the color of a button, you have to watch out which type of button you're using. Not all buttons can have their colort changed.
If youre looking for a professional look, you don't want to make a colorbook either by changing every button into another color.
What you can do is putting behind each button an LED indicator which is slightly bigger then the button itself.
When the button have the focus, set that indicator to true. And it will light up.
It's a bit more work, but it look so much nicer.
Personally I don't like to mess with colors. I love simplicity. Thats why I use systembuttons, which have a blue surface already when they have focus
Hope this helps

Why do colours change when converting from Word to PDF

I am converting word files to pdf, however the header and footer background colours change once converted. How can I stop this happening?

Depends on how you are creating the PDF. If you are using PDF Maker (the create PDF button), then check the preferences in that menu. There is an entry for the settings file selected. If you are printing to the Adobe PDF printer, the settings file is listed under the settings tab of the properties menu.

How can I animate colour changes of clips and mattes in fcpx

Can Anyone help me in getting to grips with ficpx.
I want to vary (animate) the colour of titles and mattes over their time periods. Also, i need to correct the variations of colour temperature (castes) which my panasonic camcorder produces sometimes. I notice that there is no animation icon in the inspector panel for colour changes and I am not able to insert animation points on the timeline animation strips above the assets. Any help would be appreciated. Lorenzo F.

Color correction and color masks cannot be animated in FCP. You'd have to do this in Motion or some other app. DaVinci Resolve Lite is free.
