Fireworks CS3-Color changes when importing Photoshop images

Hello,
I created a background image in Photoshop CS3 but whenever I import it into Fireworks CS3 the color changed. It seems that the saturation level is changing. The hue is close however. I tried using the color palette to type in the exact RGB & Hexadecimal number but it is still not working.
Please help. Thank you

Here are  couple of good articles on the color profile-Web export issue:

  • Color Changes When Importing onto Another Computer

    I'm not sure if this is an Illustrator issue, but since I'm using Illustrator, I'm hoping maybe someone can help.
    I made a graphic in Illustrator that I exported. I then put that on a flash drive, took it to another computer, and imported it into software called Lectora (not Adobe related). However, my colors changed greatly. The orange wasn't too bad, but the purple is a huge difference. My company has specific colors, so it's a huge deal to make it the correct shade of purple.
    I don't think it's the software because if you open the graphic on the computer in general, the colors are different. I tried on a third computer, and the colors are still different, so that brings me back to some setting on my original computer.When I open the graphic on my computer outside of Adobe, the colors are what I want.
    The document is RGB, 72ppi. I tried exporting as png, tif, jpeg, bmp, gif (transferred to photoshop), 72ppi, 300ppi, etc.
    Also if it matters, from my original computer to the printer, it prints the different shade of purple rather than what i see on my screen.

    Carla,
    There may be differences in the colours on the different (and possibly differently calibrated) monitors (and between different applications).
    There is probably a significant difference in colours between RGB and CMYK; unless you are using a non PostScript printer (driver), the printer needs CMYK; you should create the CMYK colours by creating a version (the basic print version) in CMYK Color Mode.
    Normally, if you want to make sure that you can print the colours in CMYK, you should start with CMYK.
    Obviously, if the intended (main) use is for screen/web and the print is only secondary, you may work in RGB and live with the colour differences in print; or you may use a (non PostScript) printer with more inks.
    Yet another option is to use spot colours, but that is a further complication.
    Have you used colour management?
    You may start reading the basics here (the articles also apply to Illy, though written for PS).

  • PDF color changing when imported into InDesign 6

    I am importing a customers pdf into InDesign 6. When I do the import the color is changing from the original PDF colors. The original color in the pdf is 0/95/100/29 and when imported to InDesign 6 it becomes 21/98/100/12. Is there a setting I need in InDesign 6 to keep the original PDF colors intact?

    Are you using the eye dropper tool to get those numbers?  It could be the way the original PDF was created.  I have a feeling that the original settings ere set to "adapt" to color workflows or something similar.  See if you can open the PDF in Acrobat and set the file to "Leave Color Unchanged" if you can...somewhere in the file's profile or color setting.  It could also be the preview in InDesign.  If somehow there is a way to find out which color settings were applied to the PDF; you could then match those in InDesign's Color Settings.  If it is the preview reading, then the file should proof well.  If InDesign has corrupted the PDF's original color, then the file will proof bad.  I think it prudent to investigate the PDF's original Color Settings vs. InDesign's.  Try posting this question in the InDesign forum and see what you get back.  I'd be curious to know what they have to say over there.

  • Colour change when placing Photoshop image

    Help needed! In Indesign CS4 I have created a template and within the program have made a couple of rectangular boxes filled with 20% black, placed on the master pages. These have text placed over them in the main pages.
    Placing a Photoshop CS4 .psd image in a page of the document, changes the colour of these boxes automatically to a darker colour.- both on screen and printing. If I delete the Photoshop image, the colour of the boxes changes back to what it's supposed to be. I've checked the fill colour of the boxes with and without the image file being placed and both times it says 20% black.
    I've checked the Assign Profile settings in both Indesign and Photoshop and both say sRGB IEC61966-2.1 but never having gone into these settings before, I don't know if that's correct.
    Anyone have any ideas why this is happening? Thanks.

    I will check the Photoshop file to see if this is a problem. As a workaround, I have saved the image as a jpg and placed in the Indesign document and this seems to work fine.
    Thanks for this suggestion.

  • Color change when Importing TIFF

    I was importing a photo to test the color calibration of my monitor (it was a sample tiff photo from a website I found). The colors look good using preview but once I import it into aperture the white part of the photo (background) becomes pink?

    For disabling JPEG in ACR go to EDIT => Preferences => Camera Raw and switch it to "Disable JPEG Support" at the bottom in JPEG and TIFF handling.
    It seems that you apply the ProPhoto colorspace via ACR.
    So the result can have two reasons: either the JPEG was saved untagged (converted to ProPhoto but without embedded colorspace) or it was tagged and saved with an embedded profile, but the other applications are non- or wrong colormanaged. Both will result in a desaturated image like it shows up to the right:
    How the appear in a non-colormanaged browser, see the names:
    Also the # in the image name (3rd image) indicates that your color settings (workspace settings) in PS are different from the colorspace of the image.
    Either apply sRGB when you go through ACR or disable the open JPEG with ACR feature as desribed above, which should preserve the original colorspace.

  • Calendar Dates: Color Changes When Importing From iCal Not Consistent

    Okay. So I wanted to make a family calendar that contained all the birthdays of my extended family. Using "import birthdays from address book" is not an option since I've got lots of friends' birthday included. So I went through the painstaking process of creating a new calendar in iCal and named it "Family Birthdays" and added the birthdays of all my family members. I selected "all day" and made them recurring "every year" and "forever".
    To my suprise I noticed these birthdays were indicated on the iPhoto Calendar with a red date and red text. I made no changes to fonts and simply selected
    "add iCal calendar" to my iPhoto calendar.
    But here's where it gets funny. Approximately half-way through the calendar the dates and titles were black. The calendar was 12 months and began in May of 2006.
    I actually like the red dates.
    By the way the calendar style/theme used is "large type".
    Questions:
    (1) why did it change to black?
    (2) how can I consistently see these dates in red?

    Allan:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. See my last post in Calendar won't print black directional triangles. You can get any color you want but it requires some work.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

  • Color space change when using photoshop elements plug in

    When I select photo and edit with photoshop elements, Aperture makes a copy of the file as expected, but I can see the image color/hue etc. has changed, why?  Is there some setting I am missing?  The color of the image shouldn't change, should it? Just doesn't make sense!

    Where do you see the color change of the copy?
    In the thumbnail or preview before it is send to the external edtor?
    When the image is opened in the external editor?
    Or after it is send back from the editor?
    I do not see any color changes when I use PS CS5; it may help to see a screenshot.

  • Why the White Lines around imported Photoshop Images

    Working in CS6, importing native Photoshop images into an Illustrator gradient.  Certain imported Photoshop images, with transparent background, produce white lines bordering the images.   The white lines stand out against the AI gradient.  The whites lines are not visable on screen.  They came out in the commercially printed product.  The overall AI document, with PS images placed and linked, was save to a PDF.  It was then printed from the PDF. The PDF, as viewed on screen, does not show the white lines either.  Why and how do the white border lines (the box surrounding the image) appear?

    First I would recommend making sure there are indeed »no pixels« there in Photoshop – applying the Layer Style Stroke can help locate stray, semitransparent pixels.
    Other than that I am afraid your print service provider may not have provided optimal output.
    What print process was employed anyway?
    It looks like flattening effects, but those should simply not be visible in print.
    They happen when exporting X1 or X3 pdfs, which disallow transparency, so in creating the pdf the psd files that have transparency are flattened with whatever background and often broken up into smaller parts.
    That way a whole mess of fragmentary images can be created, as one can see when one opens such a pdf in Illustrator.
    One can avoid that by creating X4 pdfs, which do allow transparency, but if those can be processed by the printer is another question.
    But this issue might be more suitable to the Illustrator or pdf Fora.

  • Color change when opening in Reader

    Hi, I created a PDF in Photoshop. I then added an editable field in Acrobat, using the same RGBs. When I open the file in Reader, the color of the editable field does not match. Any suggestions on what I can do to resolve this?  I have the most recent version of Acrobat and Reader.
    Thanks,
    Jackie

    Here is a screen shot of the reader PDF, followed by the original file in Acrobat. You can see that the entire document color changed when I opened it in Reader.
    THanks,

  • Image size changes when moving an image between Lightroom and CC.

    Image size changes when moving an image between Lightroom and CC.
    I opened a .dng image in LR and then opened it in the Develop module.  I clicked on Crop Overlay and then on the ‘As Shot’ drop down menu (the lock is closed) and cropped to 11 x 17 and clicked ‘Done’-.
    I click Cntl-E and the image opens in CC.  There I click on Image > Image Size and the Image Size  is 13.288 inches by 20.533 inches.
    Why does the image size change?
    I believe there is a menu to control the size of the image and I've looked everywhere I can think of in LR and CC, I googled various descriptions and I checked two of Scott Kelby's books, but I just can't figure out how to keep the image a consistent size when moving between LR and CC.
    Help!...Please?

    The penny will drop soon or maybe the cloud will lift.
    In Lightroom all editing is undoable/nondestructive.
    Hence a crop of 3x2 is not inches, centimetres, pixels or anything else. It is jst a ratio. When a file is exported, either to PS or disk, then the crop ratio has size determined in respect of pixels and inches or cms.
    So my 6000x5000 pixel image I will crop to 3x2 that leaves (before exporting) a 6000x4000 file.
    Now when exported it can be set to export at
    100pixels per inch and will end up at 60x40" when printed.
    200pixels per inch will end up at 30x20"
    300ppi will end at 20x13.3"
    You will notice in the Crop Tool there are no size denominations such as inches or centimetres as an image file only has pixels and the determination of size is done through exporting or printing.
    Hope that helps somewhat..

  • When importing my images some of them are missing how do i retrieve them

    when importing my images some of them are missing . how do i retreive them ?

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).
    If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear.
    You can click the Maximize button at the top right to leave full screen mode or right click empty space on a toolbar and use "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press F11.

  • Rules applied to multiple cells trigger color changes when any of the cells

    "Rules applied to multiple cells trigger color changes when any of the cells meet the rule’s condition." That's what Help says, but when I follow the directions, it doesn't work. This is in Numbers 08.
    I have a table where the contents of one column are either "YES" or "NO", depending on formulas using variables from other cells. If YES, I want the fill of that cell and that of two adjacent cells to change from white to green. I select all three cells and use conditional format rules for "text contains:" YES, then choose my fill color. When I return to the table and introduce values for the variables that trigger the rule, only the cell in the YES/NO column changes to green; the other two remain white.
    While I am spreadsheet challenged, I usually can follow directions as plain as those in Help, but it's not working. I couldn't find anything in the discussions after an hour of searching. Is this a known problem or am I just stupid?

    For what it's worth, that's the way I read that line in the User Guide as well. What it actually appears to mean, though is 'Rules applied to multiple cells apply independently to each of the cells."
    Here's a workaround for your three adjacent columns. Long, but fairly simple steps.
    Add a second table to the sheet (Table 2).
    Resize the second table to one column wide and as many rows as you want to apply the conditional format to.
    Set the width of the column to the same width as the three columns you want to highlight, and the row height(s) to match the rows.
    Format to table to have NO Header or Footer row or column.
    Use the Wrap Inspector to uncheck "Object causes wrap"
    In the first top cell of Table 2, enter an = sign, then Click on Table 1 in the sidebar, Click on the first cell that will hold YES or NO.
    Fill the formula down the rest of Table 2.
    With all cells in Table 2 selected, use the Cell Format inspector to set the 'text contains yes' rule and the conditional fill colour for these cells.
    Test the conditional formating by introducing values into Table 1.
    Click on Table 1 in the sidebar, then use the Table inspector to set Cell Fill to 'none'.
    Click on Table 2 in the sidebar, then drag that table onto table 1 aligning it to cover the cells in which the conditional formating is to appear.
    When positioned (and still selected), go to the Arrange menu and Send Backward to move Table 2 behind the (transparent) cells in Table 1.
    With Table 2 still selected, click on the Cell Borders color well and set the Opacity of the borders to 0%.
    Click the Text inspector and set the Text colour Opacity for Table 2 to 0%.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • Frame Rate change when importing video into FCP 5

    I am importing an HD h264 file into FCP 5. The video when opened in QT shows that it's frame rate is 30fps, what I exported it at. When I Import the file into FCP 5 it changes the frame rate to 29.97fps, which is causing major video/audio syncing issues. Any thoughts on how to stop the frame rate change when importing? I tried changing my system settings and audio/video settings before the import to match the file and it is still picking it up at 29.97, major headache especially since I'm cutting industrial.

    yeah I'm kinda limited, working with video for the web and I'm making revisions as to what has been already posted. The H264s are the originals per say as we are using a screen capturing program to obtain the video, I could re export the originals at a truer format, but with the resources I'm given, its not truly the option I can afford to take. I've found a workaround through using imovie of all things, but I rather be in FCP. I've done some editing with h264s before and this is the first time I've seen this happen, it kind of reminds me of when I had an editor a few years back digitize video that was drop frame as non-drop.
