[help] images colors doesn't match

Hello, when I place an image inside a new document the colors doesn't match with original.
For sample I save in tiff format from photoshop a rich black (70% 50% 30% 100%) when I place inside illustrator I get (86,01% 84,97% 78,95% 100%).
The color profile are syncronized and I use Europe General Purpose 2 (CMYK Coated FOGRA27 ISO12647-2:2004)

How do you know what values the bitmap image has in Illustrator? Did you pick up the color with the Color Picker? It's possible this originally picked up the value in RGB, and that got converted.
Does Illustrator have a CMYK separation preview such as InDesign, where you can measure the original TIFF values? If not, you can also save as PDF and examine that in Acrobat, using the Output Preview.

  • PSE 7 bright vivid colors, doesn't match prints

    I tried searching for a thread to answer this question but I could not find something that really helped specifically.
    Use PSE7 to edit my jpg's and when I'm happy with the results then go to print, my prints do not match what I created on screen.  The colors are much darker, the rich greens in my landscapes are dull with a dark tint..overall, quite disappointing.
    I use a Spyder 3 pro to calibrate my monitor and use that profile as the printing profile for PSE7.  I shoot a Canon 40d in sRGB.  My monitor and printer (Canon MP600) are set to use the profile created by the Spyder 3 Pro software.
    When I use Canon Digital Photo Pro to edit raw images, the colors on screen are consistent with what I get printed on my Canon MP600.  The main difference here is that Canon DPP allows you to select the profile for image display and for printing.
    Does PSE7 allow you to somehow select from your list of available profiles what color profile to be used for display?  Out of the color management options, I've tried to use the "Optimize for display" and "Optimize for printing" options..."no color management" and "let me choose.." still no difference in the prints vs. the screen.
    If I take a file that I printed in Canon DPP, where the colors on screen match what is printed, and then open that same file in PSE7, the colors on screen are much different...they are much brighter and vivid than what I see in Canon DPP.
    All I can do in Canon DPP is edit raw files and do the basic color editing...Obviously, PSE7 has many more features and plugins that are useful so I'd like to work in that program and print from there.
    If I do all my editing of a file in PSE7 until I'm happy, my prints still won't match what I see in PSE7.  If I take that file and open it in Canon DPP, the colors are different, but they match what came out of the printer, albeit...darker and not vivid

    Thanks..that did the trick.  I feel like a big dummy now
    I got the explanation of the printer/paper profiles for my printer on the Canon website.
    The prints are MUCH closer...the only difference I can tell now is eliminated when I use a good light to view my prints, when held up to a good light or sunlight, the prints are very true to what I see on the screen.
    thanks

  • Canvas color doesn't match QT output - help!

    I noticed today that my footage is appearing darker in the canvas window than it does when viewed in QuickTime. I did the following test:
    1. Export a "Quicktime Movie", not self-contained, and opened that in QuickTime. Move to a specific frame for comparison.
    2. Move to the same frame in the FCE canvas.
    The image in the canvas looks markedly darker - to the point that I would make color corrections on it...but looking at the QT version, it seems correction is not necessary. They're quite different.
    I've uploaded a screenshot of both windows next to each other here, which makes the difference obvious:
    http://idisk.mac.com/gr2020-Public/canvas-qt.png
    I see the same thing when exporting and compressing with QT...I first noticed the problem when making a video for the web.
    Can someone please help me figure out what's going on?

    I did some more research, and I think I figured out what's going on.
    I think FCE (and FCP from what I'm reading) assumes your monitor is calibrated to a gamma of 1.8, and it "darkens" the images in the canvas to make them appear as they would on a gamma 2.2 display or a video monitor (which are apparently natively close to 2.2).
    However, if your screen is calibrated to gamma 2.2 (most photo editing workstations are), then FCE still "darkens" everything in the canvas (it's assuming it's gamma 1.8), and in the process totally screws things up.
    When videos are exported, this adjustment doesn't occur, so the video looks as it should. It's only inside the canvas that things are artificially adjusted, and everything gets messed up.
    Sigh.
    Assuming this is in fact what's happening, anyone have ideas how to fix this? It's totally annoying; my screen is calibrated very specifically for my still photography work, and I'd hate to have to have a totally separate display profile just work working within FCE, and then switch back to the regular one when viewing exported videos...

  • RAW Help. Preview doesn't match file.

    Raw preview and file genrated do not match. Please help

  • Same color doesn't match across documents

    I have a document set up to cmyk preview and proof setup of working cymk us web coated (swop) v2.  In this document I'm using a pantone solid coated reflex blue c.  If I copy the object with that color to a new document the color drastically changes even though it's the same reflex blue.  Notice in the image below, the blue is much richer.  I've had three other people with illustrator/print background look at this and we've compared every setting we can think of but can't figure out why it's doing this.  Any one have an idea?  We need to match the blue on the right in the image below but for the life of us we can't.  It always comes out somewhere between the two blues shown.  Thanks.

    Why is your color mode set to "CMYK" and not "Book Color"?
    Drag the reflex blue swatch from the Pantone palette to the swatches palette and choose merge colors.
    If you ever tweak a color, which is perfectly fine for getting betting color proofs out of a color proofer, always give it a differentt name (eg: PANTONE Reflex Blue C(cmyk))

  • Photoshop color doesn't match other CS applications.

    I'm going mental. I've gone thru everything I can think of. My color settings are synchronized across all CS applications. I'm trying to see document both as a soft proof and not. Neither mode improves the color differences I'm seeing on screen. Photoshop displays color TOTALLY differently from all other CS applications: Bridge, InDesign, Illustrator & Acrobat.
    In the image below, Indesign is on the left. Photoshop is on the right. Image appears in Bridge, Acrobat and Illustrator just like InDesign. What the heck? Can anyone help? I'm going CRAZY!
    Color settings:

    i can see how those color settings can cause anyone mental stress
    why are you converting everything to Adobe RGB
    why are you using Adobe RGB as your Photoshop default working space
    are you embedding profiles in your saved documents
    what profile are you "soft proofing"
    do you know what happens to your color if you open an untagged sRGB document in Photoshop and your web browser (for example)
    the short answer is you have some ICC profile and settings issues you need to understand -- how Photoshop and color managed apps react to embedded profiles and untagged documents versus how they react in unmanaged apps
    i also suspect you have at least monitor issue going on -- what monitor are you using -- how did you 'calibrate' it
    you may want to try and slug through this

  • Dreamweaver CSS div background color doesn't match .png menu button color on PC

    Hello,
    I created a menu with buttons the same background color (CSS) as the background color on my CSS template. However, for some reason, the colors don't look the same on mac and a pc. The background on the menu buttons that I created (.png) match the css template div background on a mac. But, when the site displays on a pc, the menu background color from the css template is darker than the .png background color, even though the color code is the exact same. On a mac, the .png background color matches the css div template color exactly. Anyone know what is going on or how to fix?
    I appreciate any assistance!

    Are both monitors calibrated?
    http://www.wikihow.com/Calibrate-Your-Monitor
    Windows renders images a tad darker.  To compensate, use Gamma Correction in Photoshop.

  • Viewsonic monitor color doesn't match MacAir

    I'm trying to set up the sRGB color space on my ViewSonic monitor to match the sRGB color space on my MacAir, but it's just not working. The brightness on the VS monitor dims when I select sRGB and the Brightness Adjust option grays out so I can select it to increase it. The colors are barely close - what looks reddish brown on my Air looks more yellow-brown on the VS.
    I'm a professional photographer. I need for these colors to be accurate. Suggestions?
    Thanks very much,
    Roxyanne Young

    Hello Roxyanne,
    The sRGB option on the monitor is a standard default color pallet for the internet. You can calibrate your monitor by going to System Preferences on your MacBook Air.
    Should you need further assistance please call us toll free (U.S.) at 1-800-688-6688. A customer service agent will gladly support you.
    Thank you,

    I don't know the exact answer, but when people have asked about problems like these on Adobe's own Photoshop forums, it is often related to the graphics card driver. You can try experimenting to see if it changes if you turn off OpenGL in the Photoshop preferences. If it does behave differently then, it could be a graphics driver issue. That's all I know...for more, you might ask on Adobe's forum.

  • HELP: signer info doesn't match info of other classes in the same package

    I have several jars which need to be signed. They contain several applications and packages which
    are split up based on which parts are needed by server vs client code. How do I get rid of this error?
    I'm signing all the jars using the keytool and jar signer in java 1.3.1. I generate a certificate file.
    My assumption is that each time I sign a different jar, the info is updated in the keystore and

    I'm not in charge of the build and distribution of the various packages).

  • Image in Lightroom doesn't match exported image viewed in Photoshop

    After all my hard work in Lightroom, I export the image to a folder on my hard drive. When I open this exported image in Photoshop and view it alongside the Lightroom version of its "twin" in Lightroom, there is a significant difference. Why is this? I want to use these images in my books, but my time is wasted if I end up with anything other than what I created in Lightroom. Shouldn't these images match exactly?

    Thanks Jao and Michael...the color management idea makes a lot of sense.
    Adding to this idea, when I open the Pshop file I get a message about the doc having an embedded profile that doesn't match current RGB working space, and the usual 3 options: Use the embedded profile, Convert color to the working space, or discard embedded profile. No matter which option I choose, none of the opened docs match the Lightroom version.
    The color balance is fine, but the colors aren't as vibrant. The Pshop photo is dull and lifeless compared to the Lightroom version. I used Clarity which added subtle brightness, and Vibrance to crank up the color in LR which added wonderful dimensionality and punch to the landscape scene, but the Pshop version has dulled these back down.

  • Printing with Canon printer, colors do not match at all... Help

    Hello there, I have a Canon pixma 4300, every time I print somthing with a logo or a picture on it, the colors do not match.
    Is anyone else having this problem?
    Is there a new driver or a solution to this problem, this, seems to me, is really abnormal.

    This is a common problem, and it is very hard to get a complete colour match, between any printer and the screen, due to the differing nature of the way both create their colours.
    First off, you should check that your printer is properly calibrated with the correct ICC profile, and make sure your screen is also calibrated. Fur more info on this there is a PDF which explains it in more detail (Written for Tiger, but the principles are the same with Leopard.
    http://images.apple.com/pro/pdf/ColorMgmtinTiger.pdf
    sRGB would be a good starting point, as most printers can handle this profile. Also, you did not mention how different the colours were? If for example yellow is printing an off yellow/brown or yellow/green, then it is definately the colour profile, if it is printing yellow as red, well then that is something else entirely.
    Hope this helps, as chances are, the printer is not faulty, it just isnt set up right. Also, your images stand a better chance of printing correctly if they are created in the CMYK colourspace, not RGB. Especially true of logos.
