FrameMaker 8: TIFF imports inverting color

First let me state that I am not a FrameMaker user. So bear with me please.
I created a set of TIFF image files for a client that was going to be importing them into hardware manuals created in FrameMaker 8. For reasons that neither of us are able to determine, all of these TIFF files seem to invert image color upon import. ??? This is occurring with both the CMYK and RGB color space files.
My client is running FrameMaker 8 on the Windows platform. My TIFF files were created in Photoshop CS3 on a Mac. I have never had such a problem before and I wondered if anyone else may have encountered anything remotely similar. I read the thread on TIFFs generating grey boxes in Frame 7, but that didn't seem to relate to our issue.
I am currently assuming that there must be some setting in either Frame or PS that we are simply not using properly...or is there just a bug somewhere and we should go w/ an alternate file format. We have temporarily started using EPS files, but I would like to be able to go back to TIFFs as that's the format we're using everywhere else and would prefer not to have to keep/update more than one set of files.
If I can provide more information to help clarify what's going on, please let me know and I will attempt to do so.
I'd appreciate any insight anyone could offer here.
Thanks much, Anne.

Anne,
You might want to stick with TIFF. FrameMaker cannot output CMYK, only RGB. So, if your TIFF is in CMYK, Frame might convert it to RGB. And Frame does not handle color management to my knowledge.
That being said, I do not know how Frame handles TIFF images. I always use eps for graphics, especially Illustrator graphics, because Frame just passes eps files through to the printer or PDF creator, whether the eps file contains CMYK or RGB or something else.
Of course, the above is not the definitive answer, but it might help. I have no idea why the image would invert color.

  • Reports (10.1.2.0.2) developer crashes when I try to import a color palette

    I had enough with this Reports Developer tool. Did not have this problem with 6i version (have been using for years) and do not have problem with changing the color palette with Forms in the 10.1.2.0.2 version. But the :(!@#$%! reports keeps crashing when I try to change (import) a color palette. The only option available is the Export color palette, the Import is always greyed out. This report that I am trying to change the color palette was originally designed with 6i reports tool and I am porting it to iAS format. It is running on Linux. If I start a new report (from scratch) in iDS (reports tool), then I have the paper layouts uses the new canvas of the iDS. But if you try to open up an old report, it shows the old color palette and does not allow importing the proper new color palette. I had no problem with changing the color palette when porting 6i forms to 10gR2 forms. Whe the hell the reports is not working? It supposed to be the same process to import a color palette. I need to port this old reports into new iAS format and this stupid color palette stuff is holding us back.
    Any step by step instructions to import a color palette in Reports, is appreciated. Write it for dummies please - I am tired and need step by step instructions please. I never liked the Reports tool (contrary to Forms) and I hate it now.

    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • I have imported a color picture and trying to use the adjustment brush to turn the background black and white and it isn't working.  I have Lightroom 5.  Any suggestions?

    Hello - I have Lightroom 5.  I have imported a color photo.  I am trying to use the Adjustment Brush to change the background to Black and White and leave a portion of the photo in color.  When I begin painting the photo with the Saturation at -100 I don't see any changes to the photo.  I push the "O" key and still nothing.  I have tried to reset the photo, restarted Lightroom and still nothing.  Please help.

    Set Flow and Density of the brush to 100
    Reduce it where you want the effect to blend.

  • Change menus to black background and white text (not invert colors option)?

    I have an iPhone 5 on the way to me as I got one for a very good price. I am visually impaired. I currently have a Samsung Galaxy s3 which is crapping out on me after having it for a long time). One of the features I love about it is, the menus (settings, contacts, etc etc) are in high contrast (black background with white text, which is much easier on my eyes and easier to read. It is my understandiing that the iPhone is not the same way. I had a friend look on his, and the only option he found was the "Invert colors" option. The reason I don't want to use that is because it inverts ALL colors for everything on the phone, including pictures. t just want to invert the colors in all the menus so I can read them easier. Is there any way to do this? BTW it's running IOS 8.

    the invert colors option is the only way to achieve that on iPhone currently
    you should go to http://www.apple.com/feedback/ and request that feature added, I think a lot of people would use that

  • Invert colors of single window in i3

    Hello!
    I am using i3 WM (awesome WM! ) and wanted to invert colors. In this forum I found that I can achieve it thusly:
    xcalib -invert -alter
    And it works great - skype (oh, how I wish i could replace that buggy and annoying thing with something lightweight and FLOSS) and other random windows are now nice and dark but as I already have the standard gray on black terminal and a dark colorscheme for gvim they both are now too bright. Therefore I could really use a way to invert colors only for specific windows and leave the rest of my system, that is already configured dark, alone. Similarly to the Mod4+N feature in Compiz.
    Some applications offer the option to invert colors for their windows but not all and it would be nice to have a quick universal means for doing it.
    Can you please point me to a possible solution?
    Thank you and sorry for my broken English!

    Compositing would be required in order to negate the colors of individual windows. As xcompmgr does not support doing this, I think your only option would be compiz.
    However, there is a program that I found a while ago called xcalib (in the AUR) that allows you to negate the colors of your entire display with this command:
    xcalib -i -a
    There may be a way to do this with the standard X tools, but I'm not aware of it.

  • PDF reader with inverted colors

    Do you guys know any pdf reader that's able to invert colors so the eyes won't hurt so much from reading?
    I've heard foxit reader is able to do that, but there's no 64bit version in packages. Supposedly okular has that function too, but it's qt based and I'd rather avoid it.

    xpdf. Use the reverse video option (-rv). It's fast too

  • Strange PDF files printing inverted colors!?

    I help support an office with several macs. Two of my remote office computers have an odd problem. In Apple Preview PDF files print inverted colors. If I open the PDF in Adobe reader they print normal. They are both trying to print to Samsung ML320 printers. I have yet to find any settings in Preview or in the printer setup that would allow this to happen. For now my fix is to set Adobe reader as the default application for viewing PDF files. Worked until one employee (also running Mac) sent the remote offices a PDF file attached in Apple Mail. Somehow ONLY PDF files from this person force default to Apple Preview. How can a file override system settings to choose it's default app? Strange and again only files coming for this particular mac force a default to Preview app. So it seems these two problems combined are making things difficult here. Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks,
    A.J.

    I am still having this issue on a users machine. It is to the point where I may just reimage the whole laptop. The end user went to print a two page PDF from Apple Preview the other day and the first page was inverted and the second was not! How is this possible? The PDF is fine when printed from other machines and again only Apple Preview does this. I can use Adobe PDF reader and it prints normal.

  • 4S: How do I keep camera in regular mode with "Invert Colors" to on?

    On an iPhone 4S w OS7.1, how do I keep the camera in regular mode (not negative image) and keep the "Invert Colors" swith to active or pink or (1).

    " (1) how do I transfer the files from my PowerBook G4 to the nano? "
    In disk mode the Nano will mount on the desktop like any removable dive, just drag the files you want onto it
    "(2) How would I transfer them back again if I ever need to?"
    Drag them back from the Nano to your computer
    "(3) should I try to go back and find out if "optimizing" was completed, and finish it if it wasn't? How?
    You would probably need to restore it to factory settings to start the process again
    "(4) How do I keep the nano from automatically updating from my music files when I charge it"
    You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys (on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. Then go to Preferences>iPod and check the "Manually manage songs and playlists" box. It won't update automatically in manual mode. You can also remove the tick from the box which says "Open iTunes when this iPod is attached".

  • Inverted colors

    I'm having a problem with what appears to be inverted colors in Keynote slides (iWork 08).
    Everything worked fine after moving to Snow Leopard for the first few days, then suddenly, I started having this problem.
    One problem that preceded this one was that Keynote crashed when I tried to export a file to a PDF version. This also worked fine initially.
    Thanks for any comments.

    I too have expirienced a similar problem.
    I just upgraded to Snowleopard, and i installed iWork '08.
    unfortunately, the colors are really messed up. For all colors on the bottom half of the spectum cirle thingy, are inverted. and the colors on the top half do not show up at all. NO BLACK FONT OR SHAPES!! *** man. ALSO, i cant open my old documents. When I try it says "Unable to open "Document" because it is not a valid Pages document. WHAT IS GOING ON? terrible unfortunate. If anyone has any valuable info i would greatly appreciate the help. THANKS.

  • Screen displaying inverted colors

    Ever since I updated to 1.0.2, the iPod Nano refuses to display my stuff correctly. Sometimes, it will display everything in inverted colors, with a little sliver on the left being correctly colored.
    Then, it will switch back to normal, and flash a white bar on the right side of the screen. It will stay like this until the screen cuts off, then it will go back to the inverted colors.
    I don't know what this is, but if it's from the update, they'd better release a new one soon. I'm tired of having my iPod glitchy.

    Have you tried resetting the iPod?
    Make sure the hold switch is not locked first (i.e. you can operate the iPod buttons)
    The press and hold the Menu and Centre Button down at the same time, keep them both pressed until the Apple Logo appears on the screen, then release.

  • Inverted colors on Chrome screen captures in Mountain Lion?

    I'm using Chrome on Mountain Lion and over the past few weeks, any screenshots I take with a screenshot tool (like Awesome Screenshot) has inverted colors.
    There are others having this issue: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?p=17652505#post17652505
    Steps I've taken so far:
    - Isolated it to Chrome. The problem does not happen on Firefox
    - Isolated it to Mountain Lion
    - Uninstalled Chrome and re-installed
    - Created a new user on Chrome with only the Awesome Screenshot extension installed
    None of these things work.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

  • Why does my screen go to inverted colors when I touch certain areas of the screen?

    Whenever I touch my screen in certain areas (the right hand upper corner, or the back) the screen does this wierd inverted color thing and then goes back to normal. It's freaking me out!

    Thank you so much! The "help" person at AX told me to press the F11 key to "solve" the problem with the AX web site! Any idea why my AX web site didn't work on Firefox and did work on Chrome? Can companies engineer their sites so that they don't work on Firefox?
