Consistengconsnt Colour

I'm having difficulty getting consistent print results from Photoshop CS3 and Indesign CS3, upgraded to CS4 same problem. I'm printing to Canon Imagerunner C7055 capable of near press quality colour. My file is one colour from photoshop and another colour from indesign, quite a dramatic shift! I get different colour when going through the booklet maker than I do when printing a single page from indesign. I've tried printing as a pdf, different again.  The imagerunner is new and well maintained by our local canon rep, though I don't think much of Canon Corporate. The printer runs consistent over long runs 1,000 plus
I read a note from adobe stating that this problem was solved way back in CS2. That I think that magic happen in there marketing department.

Hello,
I read this thread regarding color and print quality between adobe CS3 and pdf files to the Canon c7055 printer/copier. I was wondering what solution you found, if any, to overcome this problem, past changing the photo you talked about in your last posts. My office just bought this printer and are having the same problems and even problems with Word 07 documents and are finding that our Canon rep and Canon Customer Service are not offering any help or ideas either. We thought this printer was going to be a better quality but are thinking about going back to the old printer we had.
Your feedback is much appreciated! Thanks!

  • Mini-DVI to S-video adapter and no colour on TV screen

    I just purchased a mini-DVI to S-video adapter for my MacBook. I want to connect it to my TV through my DVD/Video player.
    I do get a nice picture on the TV and I can manage it in the screen settings panel, BUT the TV-screen doesn't show any colour, just black and white. Why?
    I've tried several settings in the Preferences panel, but no luck. What to do?

    The cable is brand new and I've checked it with a mulitmeter. It's OK.
    I've also heard that this is a fairly common problem with S-video and I got a tip to try the composite video instead. It worked beautifully, so now I've got nice and crisp video in full colour on my TV!

  • Follow up to frozen mac... strange colours on screen?

    hi everybody.... my screen has just had a funny turn.
    red and electric blue appeared replacing some of the colours of the images i was looking at... (black being replaced in part)
    web page, then screen saver, then iphoto... checked display in preferences... clicked again on imac and it went away. my question is this the start of my display or graphics chip failing??
    and could this also be related to my screen locking up... freezing. I been getting "ghost" blocks of pixels... sometimes from a open web page or folder icon coming thro' or replacing part of a image. hard to discribe... its almost like the display remebers another part of the screen.
    any tests that I could do to see if its the graphic side of things or is a visit to the Aple store.
    any ideas ...
    thanks

    Thanks for the suggestion srojtas.
    The eMac has been running fine since posting this and completely passed the Remember memory test. I also tested it by filling the memory up by opening many apps and it didn't crash at all there either.
    The eMac didn't come with a hardware CD sadly, so I can't test it that way!
    I feel now it must have all been due to me not seating the memory correctly.

  • Different coloured text in one Textbox

    Can someone PLEASE help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I need to know how to have different coloured text in the same textbox.

    Acording to the first post it also shows data, so it is a GUI component. i never sow a textbox.

  • ICal: only one colour in year view

    Hi, my issue is that my different calendars (Red- college, green-work, blue-holidays), all appear as yellow when viewing iCal as year view. When viewing the calendar as weekly and monthly I can see which calendar is which, but in year view I can't. This means that I see a huge block of yellow and can't differentiate days I'm in class from days I'm on placement, or days I have exams from days I am on holidays.
    Please help!!

    Fufidus, I have the same gripe and I know what you're talking about.
    I have about four different calendars (Work, Family, national holidays and a shared calendar 'Leave schedule').  Each has its own colour, and I would expect that when I look at my various events (some stretched out over weeks and months) I should be able to see that colour representing the respective category in the year view.  This would make sense and allow me to differentiate between the different categories over the year planner view and therefore have a good overview for the year.   This is important for me as I need to plan my schedule between work and family at least 6 months in advance and likewise with my colleague.
    What actually happens instead, is that all those different calendar categories all show as one colour, being yellow highlights, which doesn't help at all.  It's confusing, especially if I'm trying to collaborate with my colleague or show the year view to my wife.  We cannot distinguish any of the events on the year view unless you click on that day.  The four categories just merge as one colour on the year view.  Spots where two events overlap become red.
    A picture is a thousand words so here is a snapshot.  Tell me if this would make any sense to you....
    If you switch back to month view, then the category colours appear as they should.
    I hope the iCal developers could take note of this issue if they have not already done so and perhaps improve on this in the next update.  I would be most grateful.  I don't really fancy having a third party app as I'd like to keep things simple and keep to one OS X app that can sync between devices.

  • Trying to fill a shape or change text colour-it is always grey instead of the colour I picked?

    I have been working on a file and whenever I have a couple of shapes and some text. When I try to change the fill of the shape or change the text colour it is always changing to grey. It will let me pick a colour, but the box at the bottom(foreground/background box) is always grey as well. Please help.

    THANK YOU SO MUCH BARBARA! I really appreciate you taking  the time to reply to my simple problem(eventhough at the time it was so frustrating). Thanks again. Leanne

  • Change the colour of events in iCal

    I need to change the colour of events/appointments in the Mac iCal.  I have imported all of my Outlook calendar via google sync and all my appointments are now just one colour.  I have my medical appointments coloured in orange so they stand out each week (I have many) and all my personal events a different colour, and my volunteer work a different colour so that I can see at a glance in week view what I am up to. Looking at one week with every appointment in one drab colour is not nice.
    I notice that different calendars are different colours, but I dont want separate calendars as I need to sync with google to share the calendar with Android phone and iPad.
    Please can you let me know how to turn this feature on.  Many thanks.

    Click calendars at the bottom of the page the click on the i symbol for info and then you can select the colour you'd like.

  • Looking for calendar app that can sync multiple calendar colours in outlook

    I Have multiple colour categories in my calendar  but need a calendar app that can sync with outlook. Do NOT want to sync with google calendar. Any suggestions? Thanks

    Hi ron1098,
    Try my application Dates to iCal. it runs on the Mac, but you can sync the calendar to your iOS device.
    See more about Dates to iCal here. It is £4 shareware with a 2 week demo.

  • Ideas for a colour-based overview page

    Does anyone have any good ideas of how to create a page that is an overview of a production facility? It would be based on 1 or 2 tables, updated once each minute, and would show the status of each of 176 production units. Each unit would need to show 2 or 3 bits of information: they could all be colour-coded or all except one, which could be numeric. Ideally you would be able to click on the unit to go to detail pages on that unit. The colour codes could be simply colour or could be icons; there are probably advantages in each.
    Any thoughts on how to construct something like this?
    I should admit that I am still quite new to ADF. Using 11.1.1.2 at the moment but maybe 11.1.1.4 in a month or two.

    You can find a ton of potential student projects here:

    Dunno if any of them fit your criteria - but it's a start...
    Good luck!

  • If I have my iPhone 5 replaced at a Apple Store, can I have the colour of the device changed?

    My iPhone 5 is faulty as its battery is overheating. I was thinking about taking the phone to an Apple Store for a replacement. Will I get to choose the colour of the phone or will I recieve the same colour?

    It might help to think of the Apple Store Genius Bar in the same way that you would think of an auto mechanic's service bay.  Imagine that you have towed in a disabled car to have it fixed.  When the repair is done, the mechanic hands you the keys to a different model with a different engine and different option package.  Great deal right?  As I'm sure you can imagine, real life does not work this way. 
    You will only drive out with the same model that you towed in.  If you want a different model, your solution is not in the service department, but on the sales floor.  The Apple store is no different.

  • Colour shift in save for web when saving on PC and then viewing on Mac

    Hey peeps, I am aware of this colour shift when saving images for web.  I have a designer resizing, cropping photos, and then saving on PC. He uses PC and when he sends the photos over to me on my Mac there is a big colour shift (photos are much lighte
    Could anyone please explain exactly what he needs to do in order for these photos to look the same as the originals on my computer, basically no lightness shift?  Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks
    Adam

    Because the WWW is based on untagged (2.2 gamma) sRGB - your genius is probably sending you untagged sRGB if they were Saved for the Web (that's how I prepare my Web color).
    Your Mac display should be profiled to 2.2 gamma (you are likely at the old default 1.8 gamma now if you're seeing a lightness shift on untagged sRGB)...if you want "your color" back in Photoshop, you will need to (re)Assign the sRGB profile...

  • Photoshop CS2 in Mac Snow Leopard: faint, pale colours when printed

    I used to use Photoshop CS on my old PPC eMac with OS 10.4.11 (Tiger), and printed succesfully on good quality glossy photo paper using an Epson Stylus Photo R340 printer. I have now upgraded to an Intel Mac mini with OS 10.8.3 (Mountain Lion). I am afraid I cannot afford to buy the latest version of Photoshop, so I have installed Parallels Desktop and, within it, Snow Leopard Server, so that I can run Photoshop CS2.
    I have now got the correct driver for my printer and all the printer and paper profiles. Using exactly the same profile and other settings that I used to use with Photoshop CS on my old computer, when I printed a TIFF image, the results were a print with extremely pale, washed-out colours. When I used the 'Preview' feature of the printer software, the colours looked good, but when I printed they were hopeless.
    I don't think it is the printer. If I set the Photoshop output to let the printer determine colours, I get quite good results. But when I switch to letting Photoshop determine colours, I get these impossibly pale colours. I have checked through all the preference settings of Photoshop CS2 and cannot find anything that might account for this misbehaviour. I should be most grateful for any help or advice.

    Since posting the above, I have made a discovery. I looked up the system requirements of different versions of Photoshop. Here is the relevant part of Adobe's list:
    This suggests that CS2 will not run in Snow Leopard (OS 10.6)! But it also suggests that CS will not run in Tiger (10.4), and I used CS succesfully for years in Tiger on my old PPC computer. So what does all this mean? Are these minimum requirements? In that case where can I find the upper limits? Is CS2 supposed to run properly in Snow Leopard?

  • My problem is that after printing the first photo or picture, when I come to print a second, both the Colour Management and Epson Colour Controls are greyed out and showing No Colour Management

    I have recently purchased a Mac computer (updated to Maverick) to go with my Epson Stylus Photo RX500 printer which has given excellent service with my old Windows computer. However, when trying to print pictures or photos via Photoshop Elements 11, the best results I can get are using the Colour Management and Epson Colour controls in the printing options box.
    My problem is that after printing the first photo or picture, when I come to print a second, both the Colour Management and Epson Colour Controls are greyed out and showing No Colour Management, The only way I can reset the controls is to shut down the printer and computer and restart.
    Could there may be a setting somewhere that I need to adjust please?  I have been in touch with Epson and they say that the Epson Colour controls are part of the Photoshop Elements software but a post on the Adobe forum brought no results and I am unable to contact Adobe.
    <Edited by Host>

    Hello Garry. Thanks for the reply. I guess I should have used a different title from "How do I post a question?" That should come after trying to resolved the colour settings first. However, to answer your question, after experimenting with all the different settings in Photoshop Elements and Epson software, I now start with PSE11 Colour settings then click "no colour management" then after clicking Print, I choose "More Options/Colour Management/Colour Handling/Printer Manages Colour" then I choose "Page Setup/Layout/Colour Matching" which then shows Epson Colour Controls but I also choose "Layout/Colour Management" which then shows "Colour Controls/Mode" I then of course choose an Epson printer profile depending on the paper I am using. I get good results but as I said, the Colour Matching and Colour Controls are then greyed out. Hope that makes sense.

  • Photoshop CC: Changing colour - "Could not complete your request because of a program error"

    Hi,
    Started a while back but lived with it but now its beyond anoyying.
    Happens if I do anything that changes the colour (ie colour picker, exchanging colours - anything).
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Presuming the standard Adobe solution would be suggested - ie un\re-install it I've done that with no luck, I'm now trying it again but this time letting it trash my preferences.
    This is seriously damaging my download limits - I wish they had good and usable support!
    BTW - Its installed on the Windows 8 platform.

  • Problems changing colour using Graphics class in java.awt

    Hi,
    The problem only happens when more than two images are on a panel. In this case, I have to strings that are drawn. The first drawn string is called "A" the second drawn string is called "B". However, when i change the colour of "B" to let's say Red, the panel erases the letter "B" and insteads changes "A" to red. How can I fix this so that when the user chooses the colour red it changes the colour of the latest drawn string and not the first one. please help!!!!
    import java.awt.*;
    public class StringPanel extends GBPanel
         private String shape = "clear", str;
         private int x, y;
         private Color color = Color.black;
         public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
              super.paintComponent(g);
              g.setColor (color);
              if(shape.equalsIgnoreCase("draw string"))
                   g.setColor(color);
                   g.drawString(str, x, y);
              else if (shape.equalsIgnoreCase("exit"))
                   System.exit(0);
         public void drawCurve(Color color)
         this.color = color;
         repaint();
         public void drawString(String shape, String str, int x, int y)
              this.shape = shape;
              this.str = str;
              this.x = x;
              this.y = y;
              repaint();
         public void drawString1(String shape, String str, int x, int y)
              Graphics g = getGraphics();
              g.setColor(color);
              if (shape.equalsIgnoreCase("draw string"))
                   g.setColor(color);
                   g.drawString(str, x, y);
              else
                   repaint();
    }

    well, as I said, I can't remember what the update method thing was for... I think it was related to not clearing the screen first.
    Anyway, if you maintain a list of objects that should be drawn and then in the paintComponent method, loop thru the list of objects and redraw them, it will work. Then you change the state of an object and call repaint. When you are going to change color, you need to, in effect, redraw the entire affected area. Now this can be done partially with clipping, but it's complicated to deal with that. So the simplest way is just redraw everything on repaint.
