Fireworks screws up colors from photoshop

I'm working on a website and I'm having issues with the color
shift from Illustrator to Photoshop to Fireworks. Illustrator to
Photoshop is no that bad but Fireworks is really screwing the color
up. Any suggestions? It's all RGB...I posted an image
here.
Thanks!

CS4 integration is much better. Can it be even better? Sure,
but only so
much can be done in each release.
FW CS4 supports PS vector objects, PS vector masks and Layer
Comps, as
well as PS type (even on a path). It does not support
clipping paths as
editable objects, but you can opt to flatten the clipping
path so the
look remains the same.
FW does not support Adjustment layers or Smart Objects.
Adjustment
layers can be brought in flattened, but you lose the
editability. Smart
Objects are brought in, but as flattened bitmaps; any link to
the parent
program is lost.
Fireworks does not understand color profiles, which is
usually where the
color issue stems from.
Disable the color management in Photoshop to allow the colors
to be the
same as they are in Fireworks. There's a bit more info in the
link below.

Suddenly unable to print in color from photoshop

Just put in new print cartridges (both b&w and color) in my HP officejet printer and I suddenly can't print color from photoshop. I'm using a mac os x 10.8.
I seem to be able to print color from other sources such as directly from the internet, or from preview. When I go to Print in photoshop if I try to select Color Matching ColorSynch and Vendor Matching are greyed out and unselectable. Not that I ever had to go there before but that seems to be the only difference between the print dialog boxes in photoshop and the other sources.

You should contact Microsoft for Mac Support and/or post in their forums.

Sudden problems printing in color from photoshop?

I just put in new ink cartridges in my HP officejet printer and suddenly I'm unable to print color from photoshop. I can print color in other programs but just not photoshop. I'm using OS X 10.8 and an old photoshop version CS2. It worked fine until I changed the cartridges.
Anyone have any ideas?

Okay, that's odd. Well, most of the major things in Photoshop are similar between Mac and Win.
As for the reset, I am wondering if it works with CS2 or not. Edit: yes it does work on CS2. Please try the other Option key on your keyboard. Also, be sure the print menu is the active window.
First try closing print and re-opening while holding the spacebar. Also be sure the printer's drivers are up to date.
The next step is a Photoshop preference reset: Hold Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Opt+Shift as you initiate Photoshop's startup. Select "yes" when asked if you would like to continue with reset.

Why can't I print in color from Photoshop to my HP 3500 wireless printer?

I have Photoshop CS6. I just noticed last night that when I go to print files from Photoshop, (or even Preview right now... or straight from Google Chrome), it only prints grayscale. I have NOT figured out how to fix this setting in the HP 3511 wireless printer I have. Only options for "profiles" when I go to File - Print in Photoshop specifically, are Generic Gray Gamma 2.2, Generic Gray profile, and sGray. What is going on here? I have CMYK file I want to print.

Here are some screen shots...
I'm pretty sure I've been able to print out of there before. I haven't had this printer THAT long (since Christmas) and I haven't used it a ton. I do know I printed a PDF once with color and that worked fine. I tried a PDF tonight and it wouldn't print color on that either. The "grayscale" button was NOT checked on that, either.

InDesign seeing spot channel color from Photoshop as a lab value

Does anyone know why Indesign sees a spot color that is created in Photoshop as a lab value rather then a cmyk value? FYI - I'm using CS4 6.0.5 and not planning on switching to 5 for a while and also on a Mac - using Leapord 10.5.8, and about to switch to SnowLeapord.
Anyways, If I place a Photoshop tiff into Indesign the spot color shows in the swatches as a lab value, and in Illustrator it is a CMYK value?
I can get it to see the color as CMYK in Indesign if I use a color library swatch from Photoshop, but no other way.
I'm using the color swatch for a RIP that uses that channel to print White ink, and sometimes it's useful to create the channel in Photoshop, the RIP sees the channel by a certain spot color designation. The spot color needs to be named in a particular way in order for proper work flow, so it's not desirable to have the swatch named a Pantone color.
Any ideas?
Thanks

You can take a custom spot colour and rename it to whatever you like in photoshop, when I import the graphic into InDesign CS4 I see the swatch as Lab spot (all Pantone Solid spots are defined as Lab, cmyk values are only determined by an app' that is asked to convert)
and when placed into Illustrator CS4 I see the same and if I double click on the spot swatch (still with the custom name I gave it in photoshop), I have a choice of Lab, cmyk etc at that time.
Indesign will correctly see the swatch as Lab until you request the app' to convert to cmyk at output or double click on the swatch and change it to cmyk.
You don't want the swatch to be cmyk, if you do that it will output as cmyk... if you want it to separate at the rip it needs to be a spot, which is seen by default as Lab in any application or can be converted to cmyk on request. You can't have it as a cmyk spot, that does not make sense unless you are outputting as only cmyk.

Problems with color from Photoshop to InDesign CS2?

Hi all,
Couple of questions:
When I select "Proof Colors" from "View", the color changes a little bit. Is this normal?
Also, on "View", "Proof Setup", which one should I select "Document CMYK" or "Working CMYK" or some other "Custom"
thanks for all your help,
Alex

>When I select "Proof Colors" from "View", the color changes a little bit. Is this normal?
It's not abnormal, but it will depend on what color spaces the objects are in and the color space that you choose to proof.
>Also, on "View", "Proof Setup", which one should I select "Document CMYK" or "Working CMYK" or some other "Custom"
You have a lot of choices for how to set up color management. I usually leave my settings set up for my most common situation, US Sheetfed coated and Adobe RGB, but if I have a special job I can reassign the document color space (notice I said Assign, not convert, in order to preserve the native object color numbers). You can proof the color in either the Working CMYK (the one in the color settings) the Document CMYK (if that's different) or something else entirely if you are repurposing an existing document for a new output method.
When you proof colors, InDesign calculates the conversions on the fly and displays the results. RGB objects will almost always show some shifting due to gamut differences, but the type and degree will depend on the rendering intent you specify. CMYK objects tend not to show as much shifting because the gamuts are likely to be closer, but again it will depend on the exact profiles and intents. Objects that are already in the chosen proofing space should not show any shift at all.
There is a caveat here regarding working in one space and outputting in another: If you want the colors to be as close as possible you will be converting to the new profile, which will by necessity change some color numbers to match the appearance. This is not usually a problem with things like photographs, but other things, like type, which is created as 100% K can be converted to a four-color mix which is not good. If you know the output conditions, I always recommend setting the document CMYK to that space when you start.

Spot color from Photoshop to Illustrator

Man, this used to be not a big deal. I usually print in CMYK, but I am laying out bz cards that need to be black and pantone 200u, just 2 color. When I transfer the logo from PS to Illustrator the pantone 200 changes values. I tried putting it in ID and it changes values there too. The printer needs it to be pantone 200 and the press will print it that color. It is a jpeg file. Do I convert to CMYK or should it still be RGB? How can I import it into Illustrator and it stay pantone 200. I'm not sure of the values of the color now because in every application it is different. Where can I find the values? Years ago you would give it to the printer in black for spot on different layers and they would handle it.
hear are my 20 questions...
how can I import spot from PS to Illustrator
The values of pantone 200u
leave rgb or cmyk
jpeg is this ok or do I need to change it to another format

Duotone/ Multichannel files (TIFF, PSD) where each channel is a spot color. Off the top of my head I'm not sure if JPEG even supports this, but it may.

Rescuing my RAW color from Photoshop's "Save for Web"

Hi,
I love the depth of colors the images have in RAW format (with 16bits per channel). However, when I go to Save for Web, the color profile gets trashed (in the preview as it would in a browser) and I'm left with a lifeless image that pales in comparison to the original. To prepare for this, what I've been doing, is switching to the 'Monitor RGB' Proof Setup and adjusting Brightness & Contrast. Is there a better way? Thanks.

>If I'm not embedding the ICC profile in the JPG, won't Save for Web/Monitor RGB show me what the file will look like in a browser?
No, it will only show you what it looks like on
your monitor in an unmanaged app. It will
not show you what it will look like on other people's monitors. sRGB was designed to resemble an average monitor, so if you want to know what your image will look like on average on other people's monitors in unmanaged apps/browsers/flash, you need to look at a sRGB version in a managed app. Otherwise you're just targeting your specific monitor and actually causing a bigger difference on other people's monitors because of it.

Different Colors when printing from Photoshop and InDesign CS3

Different Colors when printing from Photoshop and InDesign CS3
I have the following problem:
When printing from Photoshop or InDesign to a PostScript printer, Adobe recommends to let Photoshop handle the colors (I use the German version, so I don't know the exact term used, it changes slightly in all CS3 apps anyway).
The manufacturer however told me to let the PostScript printer handle the colors.
When I chose this option in Ps's print dialog and then choose ISO Coated as the printer pfofile, the results are fine.
But when I place the exact same image in an InDesign file and print from InDesign or export to PDF and print via Acrobat, again using "Printer handles colors", the results are the exact same as if I had used Ps and chosen to let Ps handle the colors (way too saturated and a bit too red).
·Photoshop CS3
·InDesign CS3
·Test image is a TIFF in CMYK Fogra 27 Coated (which is also the working color space in Ps and ID.
·Printer: Xerox Docucolor 3535
·Printer profile: ISO Coated
How can I make sure the printer handles the colors in other CS3 apps than Ps? I tried it with ID's print dialog (translated from the German version: Color Management > Options > Color Handling: PostScript-printer decides colors).
Thanks a lot!

RE: "You don't indicate what Xerox printers you have"
In my first post I named it, is that the information you need?
Docucolor 3535 using Splash 3535
That's interesting, so I have to find a way to turn off the printer's Color Management function? I mailed them, hope they can tell me how to do it easily. They usually just tell me to not use any profiles and so on, but that's the general rule in this area, I'm really tired of hearing it. Everybody seems to think profiles and LAB mode are nuclear science and I should stay away from it.
Anyway, the test image I'm using is a simple photograph (size A3, 300dpi), so no transparencies at all. I'm placing this image into an equally large ID file and print it from ID, then export it to PDF-X/3 and print it from Acrobat. Hope that helps.

Hi
I have a problem with color prints from photoshop elements 12. The pictures are too light and with strange colors. I have a Canon pixma mg615I0 printer and use mac os X yosemite. The pictures are taken with a coanon eos 550d in the color space sRGB. I have followed adobes recommendations and have tried both letting the printer respektive photoshop manage the colors. But nothing works. I see that there are different opinions about which is best to do so I tried both. I have the latest printer driver installed. Can anyone help me with this?

Do the following:
Print a test page from the printer. Perhaps the print head needs cleaning via its maintenance facility.
Let the printer manage colors, not PSE
Calibrate the monitor

How do I sample color from a photoshop image and apply it to an Encore menu color sets

I'm about 3 months and many hours of tutorials into Premiere ProCC, Audition CC, and Encore CS6. Apparently the nifty dynamic links from PPro and Audition CS6 no longer work with encore, as encore was not upgraded to CC. So, I want to sample color from an original photoshop image, and create an Encore menu color set, so that my menu bttons, etc. are colored to match the main photo image in the menu. Is there an eyedropper kind of tool in Encore that would let me sample the color from the image, and then apply that to color swatches in the Encore button layers? If there is I can't find it! ~Thanks!

Strangely enough, I started a thread on this issue a few days ago in the Creative Cloud forum. I had to uninstall all my pre-CC adobe software to get the Application Manager in sync with the CC apps, so when I tried to use Encore, there it was gone. So I reinstalled PremPro CS6 just to get Encore back, but when I right clicked a menu in Encore, as asked to Edit in Photoshop, it threw up an error. The consensus was that Encore CS6 would know nothing about Photoshop CC, so after much time searching for a fix, my only option was to either reinstall Photoshop CS6, or do it manually.
I took the latter option using Windows 7 to search for the menu, and open/with Photoshop CC. Stan Jones, who is the Encore equivalent of our Noel, mentioned a brick-bat, but I just saved the edit file and dragged it into Encore, and it worked fine
The afore mentioned thread can be found here

How to make color consistent from Photoshop 5 to Photoshop 6?

Hi, I recently upgraded from photoshop 5 to photoshop 6, and the colors printing out so differently.
In phothsop 5, the color management setting was on Photoshop Manages color, Adobe RGB (1998) and Relative Colorimetric.
But on 6, Adobe RGB (1998) under Printer Profile is missing. How can I set up the color management so the colors print out consistent?
Thank you.

What printer? What profiles? What system? Sorry, but your post is not particularly useful. You have to be much more specific.

Printing Issue: Colors print fine from Photoshop but washed out in Illustrator

I am having trouble printing from Illustrator. The same image...whether cut and pasted, opened in, or using the swatch created....prints differently in Photoshop and Illustrator. I need to use this specific color (for branding purposes) and it prints fine in Photoshop but washed out and grey-ish in illustrator.
I've made sure the color settings are the same (in bridge) and made sure all the print settings are the same. It is the same color on the screen, and in detail, but the print output is clearly different. Any help please??

If I print from Acrobat, everything is washed out and greyed - both the PDF from Illustrator and the PDF saved from Photoshop.
I tried letting the printer decide and I tried set to illustrator - both washed out and greyed.
Here are my settings in illustrator:

Color change when transferring image from Photoshop to After Effects

Hi everyone,
I am trying to import a logo from photoshop CS6 to After Effects CS6, however the black color within the image changes to a dark grey when it gets into AE. I noticed on the color picker in PS that it changes to the same grey color that is used as the replacement web safe color. Therefore I'm assuming AE is just converting everything into web safe colors.
Is there something I need to change in AE to allow me to import the image and keep all the original non web safe photoshop colors?
Sorry if this is a very basic question thats been answered before, I couldn't seem to find the answer within these forums.
Many thanks in advance,
Spencer

This has nothing to do with web safe. You are making a mess of color management/ color profiles. You have soemthing enabled in PS and since AE by default doesn't use any color managemnt and just assumes plain sRGB, the colors change. There's no easy explanations here, but you have soem reading up to do about color management in general and also specifically how Photoshop corrects for monitor profiles and how to use the Proof Preview to compensate for that or how to establish a workflwo that mimicsa AE's "unmanaged" colorspace.

Photoshop CS2: Get CMYK color from pixel?

Hi, in Photoshop CS3 I can use colorSamplers to pick up a CMYK color from a pixel. But I haven't found anything in the CS2 scripting reference about that.
I cannot use channels["cyan"].histogram, because I need the calculated %-value (0100) from Photoshop, not the color index number (0255).
Example:
A pixel was filled with 70% cyan, Photoshop uses internally 69,8% and that's the value I want to read through a script.
Any suggestions? :-)

Try this:
var cyanPercent = (channels["cyan"].histogram/255) * 100;
-X
