Illustrator color library display in CS5

I am having the same issue that was in CS3 with the color library window not staying open after quit and restart Ai. This was discussed in a forum for CS3 (http://forums.adobe.com/message/1255815). I have tried that fix and I have persistent checked and my Pantone library still doesn't come up when I launch AI, I have to open the pantone library everyday. Does anyone have the same problem and/or know how to fix this?

you could add an Illustrator shortcut to the Send to...Folder
- hit Win+R to bring the Run dialog
- type sendto, to open the Send to Folder
- right click an empty area, and select "New" -> "Shortcut"
- browse to illustrator.exe, to add the shortcut
or if you're comfortable editing the registry, you can add Illustrator to the OpenWithList menu
- bring up the Run dialog
- type regedit
- browse to the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.pdf\OpenWithList
- right click on it and select "New"->"Key"
- rename to "Illustrator.exe"

  • Color not displaying correctly

    ive recently noticed that my colors arent displaying correctly ive already deleted the Illustrator settings folder to reset all preferences to default but the color problem is still happening i have my color ooptions this way
    im using adobe illustrator cs5
    Color to CMYK
    Color Guide: Show Tins/Shades
    this is what i mean im trying to get the color i see in the color picker

    The Color Picker is unreliable for choosing colors based on what you see because it is not color managed while Color panel and Swatches are.
    In your image, the color that you see in the Color Picker is how your monitor displays R=0 G=255 B=0. The color that you see in the Color Panel represents the same values in the file but the color management sends different values to the video card and thus to the monitor to display a color with appearance in the color space selected for the document. In your image this is a CMYK color space which you can check from the Show popup menu at the bottom left of the document window. To check the different values the video card is using, make a screen capture, save the image, open it in Illustrator and measure the color with the eyedropper. The color translation from the values in the file to the video card allows simulation of color spaces other than your monitor's. This simulation is accurate if you have a monitor profile installed in your system that correctly describes how your monitor displays colors. Such profile is created by using a color measuring device and profiling software. If your monitor profile (color space) installed in the system is the same as the color space of the document then there will be no translation (simulation) which in effects shuts down the color management - then the colors in the Color Picker will be the same as in the document. Many people do not bother to get an accurate profile of their monitor and use a generic sRGB profile for that. In such case working in RGB color mode using the sRGB color space (default in the Color Settings) will give the same colors in the Color Picker and the document. This usually is a sign of using a monitor that incorrectly displays colors.

  • Default Color Pallete display

    In CS3, I have my Pantone Spot color palette displaying when I open Illustrator. The problem is that is always defaults to swatches and I want it to display as a list. So without having to go to the palette options to change to a list view every single time, is there a way to display the list view as the default view?
    Thanks, Jim

    The following fix was posted by Robert Cabuto in Dec. '08.
    It involves hacking the preference file, not manipulating the panels:
    To change list view, QUIT ILLUSTRATOR, the locate the following file:
    # user*/Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS3 Settings/Workspaces/AIWSPrefs* (*or custom workspace name)
    Open file with TextEdit
    Look for the following section
    /AdobeSwatch_\ ShowFindField 0
    /AdobeSwatch_\ CurrentListStyle 15
    /AdobeSwatch_\ GroupsListStyle 15
    /AdobeSwatch_\ PatternListStyle 15
    /AdobeSwatch_\ GradientListStyle 15
    /AdobeSwatch_\ ColorListStyle 18
    /AdobeSwatch_\ ShowAllListStyle 18
    /AdobeSwatch_\ VisibleKind 1
    /AdobeSwatch_\ Visible 1
    /AdobeSwatch_\ SizeUncnstr {
    Change the last numbers from 15 to 18 after ColorListStyle and ShowAllListStyle
    change the last numbers from 0 to 1 after VisibleKind and Visible
    Save file.
    That works for me although I'm not sure if I changed too many values.

  • Colors are displayed not correct

    Hi!
    I use lightroom 3.4.1 on Windows Vista 64bit with a Iiyama PRO LITE E2407 HDS monitor and a ATI Raedon HD3600. The colors of some images that I imported from my Canon EOS 500d into lightroom are "strange".
    If I display the same image with another program, e.g. XNVIEW or windows-live-photo-gallery the colors looks totally different. You can see the differece here:
    (http://wipux2.wifo.uni-mannheim.de/~kesnw/download/HPB/Farbwiedergabe_Lightroom_vs_XNView. PNG - larger)
    The ugly colors appear on both, RAW images and JPG images.
    Where can I influence the colors?
    Thanks,
    Peter

    "The default in Lightroom is ProPhoto RGB color space."
    You can set the choice of color space that's passed to CS5 in Edit menu, Preferences, External editing. That can be anything you want. So I'm assuming you've set ProPhoto RGB.You’re the expert here.  I just installed the product and the default was ProPhoto RGB.  I was just expressing my experience with the default install
    "Right click a file and select "Edit In" CS5."
    So LR passes the file to CS5 in ProPhoto, if you've set that in the preferences
    Once again I just installed Lihtroom with defaults.  Unless a user is made aware of the ramifications of default settings they will not necessarily discover it on their own
    "Do all your edits in CS5 and then "Save As" JPG."
    If you don't alter the colour space in CS5 (Edit menu, Convert to Profile...) then it will still be in ProPhoto, so that's how it will be saved in CS5. So this is not clearly described when using both products.
    "Use a broswer or any other 3rd party viewer and you will see the colors are washed out."
    Only if your browser color management isn't working. Either you don't have appropriate profile for the monitor, or you're not using a colour-managed program to display the image, in which case the colours look very washed out. If you have a calibrated and profiled monitor, and use a colour-managed program to view the image, then it doesn't matter what is the colour space of the image, colour management will sort it out and it will display correctly. The assumption is that JPG will be used on color profiled display is not consistent with the default save options.  Why would a “save as” color space be deferent from the export to JPG file?  They are both sRBG files and not consistent or clear to the end-user. 
    "In CS5 use the "File/Save for Web & Devices" and save a JPG version the colors are more accurate in the JPG"
    Yep, because save-for-web converts to sRGB. Normal monitors are approximately sRGB, so even if colour management isn't working (no monitor profile, or using unmanaged software) then when you display an sRGB image on a normal monitor, colours will be approximately (though not necessarily exactly) right.    Yes.  So the “Save As” option does state sRGB and does not distinguish any color spaces or differences in the menu.  So until you post or email the files, a user will ot see the effects of the settings.  Have you tried this?
    "If you then change the default in Lightroom to sRGB and run through the same sequence you get a better color match in the (step 2) “File/Save As” JPG."
    Again, I assume you mean changing the Edit menu, Preferences, External Editing and change the colour space used with CS5. If you set that to sRGB then, without having to do a conversion in CS5, the image is already sRGB, so if you save it then it will still be in sRGB, and it will display correctly on a monitor without a profile or using unmanaged software. Yes, but the “Save As” does not distinguish between sRGB or ProPhoto.  For example if I used a 3rd party asset management product to export the file to CS5 and used “Save As” in CS5 it would create a JPG file viewable in a unmanaged monitor/software/display more accurately.  I have been a long time Photoshop user, but new to LR.  These issues or lack of understanding on my part only occurred after I installed LR 3.  I'm assuming Adobe would like to have both LR and CS5 to work seamlessly together or is that a bad assumption?

  • Creating a Folder Within Form or Document Library & Display the name not in the name column.

    I have created a form library that will used to create folders within that. The folder creation is done using an InfoPath Form that has been uploaded to the Form Library. When the new folder was created the name will be displayed at the Name column within
    the Form Library. I want to change that to another column like documents or suchlike.
    Can it be done using InfoPath 2010 VSTA C# or not? If their are other options available please could you try to inform me!
    Thank You,

    Hi,     
    If you want to show the name of folder in another column, a workaround is that you can create an extra column, then create a SharePoint Designer workflow to set the value of
    this column with the name of folder.
    Here is a link about Create Workflow using SharePoint Designer and set field value for your reference:

  • Color mis-display in IE 7

    Hi to match my clients logo I have used a lot of the color

    Only if you're still in 1999. Websafe colors are completely
    obsolete. It's
    been more than a decade since the last 8-bit color graphics

    produced. So, it's not a monitor issue at all.

  • Color picker picks wrong Pantone color in color library

    I have a Pantone swatch and a Pantone color book that contain the same colors. With the color library open in the color picker, I select a color from the swatch using the dropper and most times it gives me the correct color.
    However, some times it doesn't.
    I have verified that the 8 bit RGB values of the colors are identical in the color book and swatch (as shown in the info panel), but still it gives me a different color. Both files are in RGB color, with the swatch stored in 16bit and the color book in 8 bit (file format limitations).
    What causes the wrong color to be selected? How does photoshop calculate the "distance" between the colors to determine which is closest? I would expect that it should select the color that has identical RGB values, even though the one it does select is relatively close in RGB space.

    The color picker always fails on the same colors. My monitor profile is sRGB. Every color profile setting I know of is on sRGB and it doesn't seem to make a difference.
    In the image below I've tried to show what is happening. In the top version, the incorrectly chosen color (wrong red value) is selected in the color library, while the info panel shows the RGB value of the swatch color that the mouse is over. In the bottom version, the correct color was manually selected to show that it does indeed exist in the color book. In this case the RGB value in the info panel (from the swatch) and the RGB is the color library are the same.

  • IPhone 3Gs has a color temperature display is warmer, or yellow-tinted

    All greetings!
    My new iPhone 3Gs has a color temperature display is much warmer, or yellow-tinted compared to the my iPhone 3G.
    It is a defect of my iPhone 3Gs?
    Here you can see it: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2415/2660565874_ef8a841a20.jpg

    I recently bought a 3Gs and compared to my old 3G there's a hug difference! my 3Gs looks really yellow! I went to Apple store at the florida mall to verify if this was normal, brought my old 3G with me so they could notice the difference,so I made the appointment and when the so called "apple genius" saw my phone he noticed the difference and took my phone to change it to the back of the store, he came back in 3 minutes claiming that he changed my phone,when I looked at it,same yellow display I said to the guy that the display looks the same but he never gave me any other option, on my way out from the store i checked the info on the phone but it was the same IMEI as the one in the box, how could this be? if they supposedly change the phone, I asked to speak to a manager and explained to her my situation, the "genius" that "helped me" told the manager that what he did was only changing the display and since I didn't like it,he went back and put back again the display that came with the phone... at this point I got really upset and I asked the manager to speak to the "genius" and asked why he lied about the situation, the manager said that she would bring the guy so we could settle this situation,they left me waiting on the store 45 minutes and none of them showed up... Great Apple store service... Yeah right!! F#$%^ them!

  • Background Color When Displaying Playlists

    After years of use, when opening iTunes today, the background color when displaying the playlist changed from white to pink. How do I change it back to white

  • Shape colors not displaying properly: reds look orange

    I'll keep this short: I created a red rectangle, but it shows up as orange. You can see in the screenshot the difference between the color in the color picker and layers pain versus the color in the main viewer. This orange color carries through to FCPX, although the thumbnail always displays the correct shade of red. Help? Thank you.

    Thanks for the reply. The issue is the same regardless of whether I go through the inspector or the system color picker. I have also since found that the same problem occurs within FCP X for anything I try to make red—text, backgrounds, whatever (other colors seem to display fine). However, I also discovered that when I export, the red displays properly in the exported video. Since I know the hex value for the red I need, this is no longer an issue for me since I don't really need the color to display right until the final product. Still, it would be nice to understand what's going on here.
    The computer I'm on is a work computer, a 2010 27" iMac, but all software is up to date. I have a newer iMac at home so I'll check that to see if I can replicate the problem.

  • Color Correction - In Premiere CS5 or After Effects CS5?????

    Hello
    I started this question in Premiere, but am now thinking that perhaps I should take advantage of the additional color correction tools in CS5 After Effects.....
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/777459?tstart=0
    If any one is interested in helping me do this in AE CS5, here is a copy and paste of the question from the above link:
    I have two clips that I need to color correct.  Please see attached.   I want to brighten up the clip on the BOTTOM to more match the clip on  the TOP
    The cinematographer has given me these instructions:
    "  Specially the third clip with the two foxes ) shots are dark compared  to the second  time the foxes are shown. You will have to apply a color  correction  filter on them and work with the midtone and the light  sliders so you  can make it a bit brighter.  Also you will probably need  to bring the  balcks down a bit once you pushed the midtones, you will  have to see  what it looks like once you are correcting."
    I haven't done much color correcting, but the above seems pretty basic.  So any suggestions you have will be appreciated.

    To make those changes all you really need to do is adjust the levels... so apply a "levels" effect and adjust accordingly... in either Premiere or After Effects... it works the same in both.

  • Monitor calibration and color eyes display pro

    Hi trying to calibrate a 27 inch imac for photos. If I use the color eyes display pro with calibration it hijacks the video card. Will this make my computer out of apple care warranty? Thanks. Any other calibrators that work? Color munki?

    Apparently photoshop is applying additional color correction on top of
    what the monitor calibration software has already done. Is this
    necessary? If this step is necessary, then why doesn't the monitor
    calibration software do that, so that photoshop doesn't have to,
    Photoshop doesn't apply any color correction to the images per se, it just operates in a selected color space, and takes into account your monitor profile.
    The monitor calibration tells your video card - or the monitor itself for some high end monitors, how it should be set to meet chosen targets, and generates a profile for the monitor.
    1. Caibrate your monitor and generate a profile
    2. Tell your OS that that it your monitor profile
    3. Set Photoshop to work in the space of your choice - sRGB, Adobe RGB, or ProPhoto 99% of the time
    That takes you to a state where everything is in order more or less. If at this point your images look out of whack, it's almost certainly because they are, perhaps because they were previously corrected on a non-calibrated setup.
    Photoshop and other color managed application should display them all more or less exactly the same, provided the files themselves have a color profile .
