CS3: CC Spotlight color choices

Hi,
I want to place a spotlight to an image.
I chose Effects > Perspective > CC Spotlight.
I did everything right, except there is no spotlight color choices.
There is only white color available.
When I try to change the color and clicked the color, it does not go beyond that.
1) It does not work because it is old CS3?
2) CS4 or CS5 have color choices? or
3) I need a plugin for changing colors?
I appreciate your help. Thank you in advance

Thank you for your reply.
So CS4 or CS5 do not have the color choices for spotlight?
After hearing your reply I just added a color layer,and changed its mode to overlay.
Since it is too strong, I changed the transparency mode to 25%.
I've got the effect similar to what I wanted.
But is it the way people do?

InDesign CS3 hangs with colored spinball after start application

We have inhouse a big problem:
in different times hangs indesign CS3 with the color spinball. After the interruption of the application and restart we can see follow: when the app is up and we think, yes! we can work the spinball comes back and we can wait...if we wait to work after the restart 1-2 minutes the spinball comes for 20-30 seconds and then we can work without problems. As far as the next time (normally within 1 week...).
We have checked the switch, the cables. We have this problem also without network connection. And it reproducible on mac 10.4.x, 10.5.x, Windows XP and Vista. With versions 5.03 and 5.04.
What is this for a problem?
We have deleted all preferences and moved the plugins outside (we have 3 plugins: Softcare K4, Linotype Fontexplorer and Typefy): This problem is always here.
We are helpless. Can you us?
Thanks for a solution!

Did you also install any new fonts? That looks like a font error.

Copying a CMYK Indesign CS3 photo element into a Photoshop CS3 RGB document - color retention?

Copying a CMYK Indesign CS3 photo element (photo silo) into a Photoshop CS3 RGB document - color retbtion issues in a Smart Object?

What a bad idea pasting an image into Indesign instead of placing it is.
I would recommend writing an X4 pdf without downsampling and compression and opening that pdf in Photoshop (but set to »Images« instead of »Pages«).
And if the image is unprofiled Edit > Assign Profile with the indd’s profile before converting it to RGB.

Upgraded to CS5 Illustrator form CS3 Illustrator. Colors are not printing correctly in CS5

I have just recently purchased CS5 Premium Suite. I am working with Illustrator. When I print my CS3 Illustrator files in CS5 the colors are not printing correctly. Is there a way to fix this problem

I've been doing more troubleshooting since I wrote this post. I've now tried printing from a non-Adobe app and I'm getting the same margin error. So it is definitely a Xerox issue and I have a tech coming out on Monday.
The reason I originally figured it must be an CS5 issue is because just two weeks ago when I was using CS2, our landscape-oriented programs were printing with .25" margins as they should. Then last week after upgrading to CS5, the inside page (2nd page) was noticeably out of whack and shifted to the right (not left). But when I started trying to troubleshoot this week, everything started shifting to the left.
The only thing different between those two weeks was the fact I updated to CS5.
But obviously, my printer as decided to go to crap in more ways than one all in a two week period. Hopefully the tech can sort it out next Monday.
Thanks!

CS3 + ID CS4 - Color management Iussues in Bridge CS4

I have CS3 WEB PREMIUM edition and recently added InDesign CS4. While trying to get the color management right for all Suite applications I get an error in Bridge CS4.
"Suite Color Management is not enabled. Suite Color Management requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature."
So, I DO have a Creative Suite, only different Versions of its applications. Where is the problem, and if Bridge CS4 keeps on thinking I have no Suite at all, am I supposed to reinstall Bridge CS3?

Pascal.
I see you are a new Mac user. In case you're not aware...
On the Mac, new installations of Adobe (and much other) software do not overwrite and/or replace older versions when doing full version upgrades. Older and current software versions coexist and you can still use either -- particularly useful when learning a new version, but you still need to get work done now. Or if there is a favorite feature that was not included in the new version (such as no ImageReady included with Photoshop).
Be aware, though, double-clicking on a file will launch the latest version unless the older version was previously launched.
For those apps or (more likely) utilities that do overwrite or remove older versions, you're given a heads-up before you commit to an install.

CS3 : Create hidden color

Hello,
Is there any way to create a color with a script that does not goes to the swatch palette? In Indesign it is possible to create directly a color and put it to a item, i would like to create a color that is hidden for the user without myDoc.colors.add().
Thanks,
Asci

You'll need to do something like get the name of every swatch, then loop through doing a comparison inside an "ignoring case" construct. Something like this: tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3" tell document 1 set colorNames to name of swatches whose name is not "" ignoring case repeat with i from 1 to count of colorNames if item i of colorNames = "White" then delete swatch (item i of colorNames) replacing with swatch "Paper" end if end repeat end ignoring end tell end tell -- Shane Stanley <[email protected]> AppleScript Pro Florida, April 2009 <a href=http://scriptingmatters.com/aspro>

InDesign CS3 - Default Black color issue

Default Black color converted as Spot color in Indesign CS3.
I'm using default color "Black" in InDesign CS3. While creating PS from InDesign CS3 and convert it as PDF using Distiller 7 & 8, it would have changed as "Spot Color Black" instead of color "Black(CMYK)".
Open the swatch and duplicate the color "Black" and renamed as "C=0,M=0,Y=0,K=100". It would work properly. i.e. output PDF has CYMK black instead of Spot color.
We are unable to find/change globally because the Default color [Black] has both text and object.
We do not have any problem with this default black color in Indesign CS2.
It would be better if you provide a solid solution for this issue immediately. I need to send a test file to the printer on tomorrow (05/27/09).
I have attached Testing.pdf and screenshot for your reference.
Picture 1 shows the Default Black color converted as Spot color.
Picture 2 shows duplicate black color created from Default [Black] color and we don't find any issue.
Thanks
Johnson

First, this is a user forum, so all you'll get here is advice, not a "solid solution" from Adobe.
Second, the current versions of InDesign and Acrobat are 6 and 9, respectively, and there will never be any new patches issued for earlier versions. Adobe does not divert effort away from current development to patch old software.
This has been discussed here in the past few months. You should be able to find the thread if you search for keywords like spot black. For what it's worth, Acrobat 9 Pro's preflight does not detect a spot black in your sample PDF (though Pitstop might).
I'm curious why you feel the need to distill PDF rather than export (as I see you did with the file you posted)?

[AS CS3] setting fill color opacity

I want to change the fill opacity of a text box. So far I have only been able to set the opacity of the entire text box thru the blending settings of the transparency settings. The code I have below will set the entire text box to the opacity I want but the text inside and the frame will change and all want is the fill. How do I call only the fill of that box to set its opacity?
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
tell document 1
--something here to establish which text frame to change the settings of
tell _Box
tell transparency settings
set properties of blending settings to {blend mode:normal, opacity:60.0}
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell

I think you are looking for "opacity of blending settings of fill transparency settings"?
set opacity of blending settings of fill transparency settings of selection to 60 will set it to 60% for example.
FWIW, the way I usually figure this kind of thing out is to set up an example box, put a weird value in the field I want to change (eg, 12.3) and then do a "get properties of selection" in Script Editor. Then I can search for that weird value and find out what the name of the property is that contains it. (In this case a little more complex than that, as it involved a search for transparency and then the sub-properties of the settings in the right transparency properties..)
EDIT: Originally I thought you were talking about the color tint. Fixed.

CS3+Leopard=inferior color . why?

I had a G5 power PC, Tiger, running CS1, thru an Epson stylus photo R320, using a custom made profile. perfectly happy.
upgraded to an intel mac, Leopard, running CS3. same printer, same ink, same profile.
printing the same exact files, the colors are different, they arent as bright and vivid printed thru my new system.
I realize there are many variables here, but it seems to me that if
the file hasnt changed
the profile hasnt changed
the printer hasnt changed
then the result should be the same
could CS3 have changed some values or something? or is this a mac problem?
I did go and have the service that made my profile make me a new one using the new mac and the CS3. it's better, but the colors still dont pop like they did on my old system.
I have not recalibrated my monitor because it seems to me that if the values are entered it doesnt really matter what it looks like on the screen. and btw, it looks the same
any help is most appreciated!
thank you
lisa

Having a similar problem with a Kodak proofer. I literally took the same file and printed from CS2 and 3. Both apps are using the same profile (a custom profile generated specifically for the proofer). Both 2 and 3 were set with the same print settings (i.e. Color Handling and Rendering Intent).
One of our clients hasn't authorized us working in CS3 yet so making the switch permanently isn't a option, at the moment.
CS3 prints out very weak in magenta vs. CS2. I opened and printed the file in CS2 on accident and couldn't figure out why the color shifted, until I remember reading this post yesterday. Then it dawned on me that I had used different versions to output the two prints. Just did a test to confirm the shift and same result.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

CS3 & WacomCTE Ink color resetting to black

I have so far not found reference to this problem.
Up until now everything great, older driver+sapphire+CS3 in Vista, but today my pen periodically reset to black while having another color selected, only to return to the selected color in a new layer and again switch back. I tried it using another tablet to make sure but same problem, not my tablet. I then installed the latest drive. Everything else inc. sensitivity, brush stroke, worked fine with both tables but I still continued to have my ink swith to black while using another color. Are there specific settings within CS3 I should adjust? Anything else it could be?

Are you by chance using the pencil tool with the auto erase box checked
in the tool options bar?
Also did you check the color dynamic settings in the brush panel?

CS3 print:output:color:separations problem

I have InDesign CS3 running on XP SP1. When trying to print an .indd file, the separations option under file/print/output/color is grayed out. How do I set this so I can print separations?
Thank you.

The AdobePDF virtual printer is a postscript device, so if you have a full version of Acrobat installed you can print seps to PDF, then print the PDF.

CS3 raw conversion color shift

When using the RAW converter in CS3 there is a noticeable change in color from the RAW image to the converted image. I am using two Dell E228WFP monitors that have been calibrated and this allows me to see both images at the same time. I moved the images so they sat side by side on the same monitor and a difference in color was still evident.
I suspect something is happening in the conversion process and would appreciate any suggestion to correct this.
I am using a Dell Dimension 9200 with a VISTA operating system.
Thanks

What application is displaying the raw file, and which application is displaying the converted file?
If you are looking at the preview of the raw file in Camera Raw's dialog--which application is hosting the Camera Raw plugin at the time?

[AS, CS2 / CS3] Get Fill Color When Nothing is Selected (defaults? preferences?)

Hi,
where can I find the active color, which is active (border and fill color), when nothing is selected.
E.g. I can get the active styles, when nothing is selected with:
applied character style of text defaults
and
applied paragraph style of text defaults.
Where nac I find the equivalent for fill and border color?
Thanks
Tobias

Thanks, that was for CS3. Where can I get that in CS2?
I searched the dictionary of document and application, but got no glue ...
Thanks

Very slow printing Illustrator CS3 to HP Color Laserjet 3600

Howdy!
OS X 10.5.8 G5 dual 2.0. Printer is connected via Ethernet. I've created new printers using Bonjour, IP address, and HP IP printing under Other...
Illustrator hangs upwards of ten minutes with a beachball at the "Printing Page:" window, before the file shows up in the print queue.
Illustrator is printing fine to all my other printers, (hp Deskjet & 2 Epson Pro 4000's) and all my other apps print to the HP Color Laserjet 3600 nice and speedily. If I reboot, it takes about 45 seconds on the first print, then back to 10 + minutes, after that.
Happens with any Illustrator file. I've created several new files, both RGB and CMYK. Acrobat will print these files nice and speedily. I can place them in InDesign, and it prints them nice and speedily.
CS2 also hangs in the same fashion.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

I don't know if this is related, but...
My MacBook Pro (Airport) has always been dicey connecting to an HP LaserJet 4000 on my wired LAN. Before Snow Leopard, I used AppleTalk rather than IP printing because it just worked.
But Snow Leopard doesn't support AppleTalk any more, so I reinstalled the printer to connect via JetDirect (which supposedly provides more features). When it works, it works fine. But very often I get a message that it can't connect to the printer. The only thing I've found that fixes the problem is power-cycling the printer, which somehow enables queued jobs to print. Needless to say, this gets old.
Is there some trick I'm missing?

[JS, CS3] Change text color and export pdfs

Hi there,
I am new to scripting and I am trying to find out if a script exists that will export a PDF, then change all text of a certain color to black, then export another pdf with the same settings as the first, but appending the filename. I've searched the forum and understand about the change color bug, but I haven't seen anything in JavaScript -- It's all been applescript.
Anyone have any brilliant ideas?
Help is GREATLY appreciated!
-Molly

I couldn't get the specific color replacement, I chose the rambo approach... if(app.documents.length!=0) { var doc = app.activeDocument; if(doc.saved==true) { var docFile = doc.fullName; var docFile = doc.fullName; var myFile = File(docFile).fsName; var myPdfPreset = app.pdfExportPresets.item("[PDF/X-1a:2001]"); //Put what you want var myPdfFile = new File(String(myFile).split(".indd")[0]+".pdf"); exportPDF(myPdfFile,myPdfPreset); var myTfs = doc.textFrames.everyItem().getElements(); for(i=0; i<myTfs.length; i++) { //will reset all texts to black, quite drastic but works. myTfs[i].texts[0].fillColor = doc.swatches[2]; //Should be better to use swatches.item("[Black]"); //But can't check on my french system } var myPdfFile = new File(String(myFile).split(".indd")[0]+"_AllTextsToBlack.pdf"); exportPDF(myPdfFile,myPdfPreset); } else { alert("Please save your document first"); } } else { alert("You need to open a doument first !");exportF } function exportPDF(myPdfFile,myPdfPreset) { doc.exportFile (ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, myPdfFile, false, myPdfPreset, undefined, undefined, false); }
