Dragging image from one file to another in photoshop causes color hue to change

Can anyone tell me why this is happening to me?
When I have two image files open in photoshop and I dgrag one of them to the other file it changes color hue?  The original image is in TIFF format. When I save that file two PSD and close it, then reopen it and drag it to the the other image file, it still causes hue to change.  Opening the original file in AI does not change color?  Anyone know why?  Is it something with embedded profiles somewhere? If thats the case, how do I get rid of it or harmonize that between files so that I dont get color changes?
Thanks for your support

It's Color Management 101:
Always honor the original color profile in which a file is created. Make sure the color profile is embedded, i.e. "the file is tagged" with said color profile.
When dragging one file over another, make sure they are in the same color space and bit-depth mode.  If there's a mismatch, CONVERT (never "assign")  the file you're copying to the appropriate profile.
If some moron hands you an untagged file, you're going to have to guess in what color space it was created by trying different profiles in the assign dialog box to see which one looks "better".  Other than that exception of an untagged file passed on to you by a moron, make it a habit never to deal with untagged files.

  • Copying a part of image from one file to another

    I am very new to InDesign, 2days old. I have to copy a small part of an image from one file and to paste on the other file. Is it possible? If yes, can you anybody explain me step by step?

    Welcome to the forum.
    Briefly, I would open the image in Photoshop. Crop the area you want. Size it to the finished size at (for printing) 300ppi, save it in the folder where you are going to save your InDesign document. Create a new InDesign document, choose Print for the intent, select the page size, margins, etc. save and name your document. You can place (command/control D) your image. Resizing it and positioning it to suit.
    By using a PSD file you can easily round trip back to Photoshop to make more changes.
    You should get some lessons, such as those on Lynda.com and Trainsimple.com and there are some excellent books available as well - Classroom in a Book and Visual Quickstart Guide.

  • Drag and drop picture frames in Photoshop Elements 11 from one file to another?

    Hello,
    I am a digital scrapbooker.
    I recently started using Adobe Photoshop Elements 11. I previously had been using Elements 7. I make extensive use of Picture Frames i.e "Basic Black 10px", and in Elements 7, it was very easy to drag and drop a picture frame from one file to another. (I use a separate file for each scrapbook page, and I often move pictures between  pages as I scrap them)
    In Photoshop Elementa 11,  I can drag and drop a picture frame from one file to another, but ONLY if there is no picture in it. If there is a picture, I cannot drag and drop - the circle-slash icon appears showing that it won't land. I was able to do this in Photoshop Elements 7, whether or not there was a picture in the frame.
    Any ideas of what I might be doing wrong, or did Photoshop Elements change this functionality?
    Thank you!

    I think this might be a bug in pse 11, at least on the windows version.
    You might try right clicking on the frame layer in the layers panel, choose Duplicate Frame Layer and pick your other document as the destination.

  • A way to move layers from one file to another in actions?

    Ok, question for the gurus out there - rather than try to explain, I'll give you an example: Lets say I have a series of adjustment layers that I want to apply to a sequence of 40 images. The adjustments are in a layer group, and are saved as a separate file.
    I DON'T want to drag and drop them, I want to run an action that will copy the adjustments to each image- now I know I can save down each adjustment as a separate file, lets a curve (acv) a selective color (ahu) file and load THAT in as part of my action. But I don't want to do that either, because these adjustments will change and I want to easily re-render my changes on all 40 images in one step.
    I also don't want to use After Effects to do it, because my client doesn't own it. There used to be
    a way to move layers from one file to another in actions because I seem to remember doing it. The answer is not Duplicate Group either because that needs you to specify a destination file name.
    Is it possible to do this without scripting? I'm pretty sure it used to be because I seem to remember doing it, just cant remember HOW I did. Maybe I'm wrong about this though.
    Thanks and sorry for the long post, this has been baffling me for weeks.

    Thanks Ed, but as I explained above
    "I know I can save down each adjustment as a separate file, lets a curve (acv) a selective color (ahu) file and load THAT in as part of my action. But I don't want to do that either"
    What I want to know is is there a way to move adjustment layers from one file to another in an action. I know also that you can use the clipboard to move pixel layers, but I've yet to find a way to move adjustments.

  • Copy an Image from one document to another

    Is there an easy way to copy a rectangle containing an image (not a link to an image) from one document to another?
    Thanks.
    Chris.

    I can now copy-paste text frames and linked graphics from one document to another using snippets, but embedded images still don't work.
    If I embed an image from a pdf file it works but not for jpeg images. When I open the new document (for which I placed the snippet) in InDesign, there is a frame (with a dark grey background and a diagonal cross) shown, but no contents. The place() method did not throw an exception. What am I doing wrong?

  • Moving Image from one Review to Another?

    I attempted to upload an image (open in Photoshop) to a specific review. However, I could not see the desired review in the Photoshop CS Review panel. Out of frustration - after attempting to "find" the desired review for several minutes - I uploaded the image to another review and then went online, using Safari, to Acrobat.com.
    There is no visible means of moving an image from one review to another. There is a way of dragging one review (with all sub-images) to another location. But I can't see a way of moving a sub-image from one review to another review.
    IF there is some "magic" that someone knows I would sure appreciate some education.

    This works quite well for a single image review. I've moved them from one workspace to another. The issue is when a review has multiple images and you want to take only one of them from that review and move it to another review in another workspace; I can't seem to get that to work at all.
    When I open a review and navigate to the desired image, then click in the lower left corner and select a new workspace to move the image to, it moves the entire review - not the single image - to the new workspace.
    I guess I could delete the "part" from the workspace it currently exists in and then create it as a stand alone review, but then I won't be able to imbed it into another review as I want to do.
    The source frustration here is that I can't get CS Review in CSPS5 to navigate to the desired workspace/review. I get "ALL REVIEWS" displayed but not the workspaces... Any ideas on how to display workspaces instead of reviews?

  • HELP: Copying layers from one file to another to keep structure not possible??!!!

    Hi guys,
    I have a curious question. Sounds a bit silly and highly disappointed if Illustrator is actually not capable of doing this. Hopefully I have missed something.
    I have an AI doc that has grown so large that saving it now is a major effort so trying to break out sections into multiple AI files. Allot of users will be working on these files so it is imperative that all the Artboard elements are clearly organized in the appropriate folders (layers). Im trying to simply copy and paste a layer that has multiple layers beneath and within those more layers to another empty AI file. Everything copies correctly and in place however it dumps all the elements into a single massive layer in the new file. If I go into the Layer Palette menu and check on Paste Remembers Layers it does a better job at keeping some of the structure but it still doesnt copy exactly how the structure was in the Master document.
    Please tell me Im doing something wrong. I cant believe that you cant simply drag and drop a parent layer from one file to another while maintaining its structure! Exactly like in Photoshop - copying a folder from one file to another is simply as easy as dragging and dropping ...is this same methodology not available with Illustrator? I always assumed the layer and folder concept between these two packages were somewhat interchangeable.
    Thanks for any help, comments, or suggestions
    Nick.

    Hi All,
    After much trial and error trying to locate where the problem was it ended up being the guide objects. If you have the guides set to lock and attempt to copy out any layer that a guide is sitting in the resulting copy/paste will break apart that layer structure in the destination file. Simply setting the guides unlock allows everything to translate correctly.
    You guys may have known about it already but I learnt a little something in the process. Thanks to all for your suggestions!
    Cheers

  • Moving image from one project to another

    Hi all. I'm sorry if this is simple to do, but I can't figure it out. I have recently purchased Aperture 3 and am trying to figure out how to move an image from one project to another. I had several photos on my camera, and imported them this morning into it's own project. Now, I would like to take some of those photos and put them in my "family" project, and some into my "dogs" project, etc. When I open up the new project, I can't find where I can move them to another project. I have to assume this is doable, but I can't figure it out.
    Thanks in advance.
    Dale.

    Sorry to be a complete idiot, but here's my issue. When I open the original project, and then find the image that I want to move, I am unable to see any other projects (in browser view), so I have nowhere to drag them to. I hope that makes sense and you can help.
    Thanks again.
    Dale.

  • Move images from one project to another

    I have just upgraded from ap 1.5 to ap 2. In 1.5, when I moved an image from one project to another, the image was actually removed from the original project and placed in the new project. It has been my habit to upload all the images from a shoot into one project and then sort them into image specific projects; for example all blackbirds into a project labeled "blackbirds", all hawks into a project labeled hawks, etc. Once everything was sorted, the original project would be empty and I could delete it. This does not seem to be the case in ap 2. When I sort the images into their specific projects, they do disappear from the original project and thus I am unable to delete that project. Am I missing something?
    Thanks

    I had a bit of an unusual situation. I was in fact moving images from a FOLDER to a project in another folder. Turns out that there were albums in a project in the SOURCE FOLDER. I clicked on the folder, not the project, so although moving the images did indeed remove them from the source PROJECT, they remained in the various albums in that source project, still showing up in the SOURCE FOLDER, which is what I was working from, thus the confusion. I bet I won't make that mistake again.
    Thanks for the help.

  • How do I copy a list from one site to another that has a column that appends changes to existing text?

    I want to move a list from one SharePoint site to another, within the same collection. I have created a template and included the content but the column that is selected to append changes to existing text, has not copied in all cases, although it has for
    some items.
    I have a limited knowledge so won't be able to implement any solutions that require the use of code.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to copy a list from one site to another that has a column that appends changes to existing text.
    I recommend to use the custom workflow activity  Copy List Item Extended Activityto
    copy list items and files cross site.
    You can do this with codeless SharePoint Designer workflows as long as you can install the
    Codeplex Custom SharePoint Designer Workflow Activities. 
    These activities are also built-in to SPD2010.
    To install the custom activities, please follow the steps as below:
    Download the solution file form
    Useful Sharepoint Designer Custom Workflow Activities
    Copy the wps file to the Disk C.
    Open the SharePoint 2010 Management Shell.
    Run the command: add spsolution c:\ dp.sharepoint.workflow.wsp
    Open the Center Administration, click System Setting->Manage Farm Solution-> dp.sharepoint.workflow.wsp->Deploy to one or more Web Application.
    Open the SharePoint designer, add action from Custom Actions.

  • Can't MOVE images from one project to another: must not understand

    Greetings,
    I have two questions as a result of aperture not working the way that I have read on forums etc. and am wondering what i am doing wrong
    1) How do I MOVE images from project to project without duplicating masters or versions
    2) how do I delete versions
    All of my files are referenced.
    *1) moving from project to project*
    I have a blue folder called "NEFs." In it, I have a default project where I just dump all of my images called "00 dump." After I dump them, I organize into other projects. So, I do the following:
    • I create a new project called "2008 Thanksgiving" inside the NEFs blue folder making it a sibling to "00 dump"
    • I go back to "00 dump" select all the images that were shot over thanksgiving, and drag to the "2008 thanksgiving" folder. The images transfer fine, but when I go back to "00 dump" I see that the images have NOT actually moved, they are now sitting in both projects. How can this be? I thought that if I move images from project to project then I am actually moving the master, not replicating a version? That leads me to my next dilemma
    *2) how do I delete versions?*
    Now that I have replicated photos in my "2008 Thanksgiving" project, I want to delete them since I see them still sitting in "00 dump." I do the following:
    • select the "2008 Thanksgiving" project
    • select a number of images
    • press command + delete (this is the only way to delete a file as far as I can tell
    • popup comes up explaining that if I delete this file it will delete the master too and the reference file. So, that's exactly what it does.
    Deleting the referenced file is fine for many junk images, but in this case, I just want to delete the copied version that seems to be in two projects now. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would really love a full understanding of how this structure works.

    When you drag images and the drop target is an actual little yellow project box (not a folder, and album or anything else) the images move from one project to another, if your drop target is not the actual project but something else within another project all you do is cause the version to show up there, nothing is duplicated.
    To delete a version or versions selected just use command-delete. This gets rid of the actual version not just removes it from the current album view. If it happens to be the last version of that master it will get rid of the master as well.

  • Moving images from one library to another; or how to have 2 libraries open at the same time in Aperture 2

    This may be something easy but for some reason I am having a hard time figuring this out. Basically this is the situation: I have a library on my MBP hd that I import pictures to when I am not hooked up to my external hd for the time being. The main library is of course on the external 2tb drive. How do I have 2 libraries open so that I can essentially drag and drop the pictures from one library to another? It would basically be like moving files from one project to another. Thanks for any help!

    Always keep a backup of your original images, before you delete them. I make a backup right form the card, before I even import them to Aperture.
    How are your images stored right now? Are the referenced or managed? On your big volume I'd consolidate the newly imported images, to be sure they are really inside the Aperture library before I delete any images outside the library.
    but they have the little yellow triangle caution symbol on them and I can see them but not really edit them
    That is a very typical problem, when you imported your images as referenced images then somehow delete or move the original master image files, that are stored outside the Aperture library.
    Do you still have the original masters of the images with the yellow triangle that you cannot edit? In Aperture 3 you can point Aperture to the location of the master image file "File >Locate referenced image" - probably Aperture 2 has a similar command to let you reconnect your masters, if you still have them. Look into the manual.

  • Running MacOS 10.8.4  Contacts 7.1 (1170) can't drag cards from one folder to another.

    I am running 10.8.4 with contacts 7.1 (1170).  I find I can't drag cards from one (any) group to another group.  When I restart it shows the card and indicates that it should accept it as it isn't in that group.  But doesn't move cards.  Then it no longer gives any indication the cards are moving when I drag.  When I shut down and restart it gives indication the cards are moving but none move and then no longer gives any indication when I drag.  I am syncing with icloud.

    Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
    First, empty the Trash.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    find ~ $TMPDIR.. \( -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 -o -acl \) 2> /dev/null | wc -l
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
    The output of this command, on a line directly below what you entered, will be a number such as "41." Please post it in a reply.
