Imported photoshop graphic - colors completely change in FCE!

Hi,
I am trying to import a .psd graphic from photoshop. When I do this, the colors change dramatically. The green is a different shade and the black is orange!! How do i get my original image colors to appear? Also, when there is no background in photoshop, there is one in FCE. I don't want a backgound, just the object I am trying to import.
Anyone have any hints? I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Karen

What format are you working in? Are you using RGB? There will be some color discrepancy because you're converting the material to a different color space YCrCb used by digital video. If you have the current version of Photoshop there is an option to display the Photoshop file onto a video monitor with a suitable analog to digital converter, like a camcorder.
All the best,
Tom

  • Created file in illustrator then opened in photoshop but color code changed?

    I Created file in illustrator and then opened the art in photoshop but the wierd thing is that the color code changed. If you look at the image with you eye the color will look the same to the naked but if you use the eye dripper tool you can see that the color code has changed between illustrator and photoshop.
    Is there a way to make the CMYK color code stay the same?

    In Illustrator the "Edit---> color settings" are set to "North America General Purpose 2" and the that is the same color setting choice in Photoshop.
    For example there is a black color in Illustrator that has this CMYK code "60, 49,47, 100"
    but in photoshop the CMYK code for the same part of the graphic changes to "75, 68, 67, 90"
    This is only one example of many color code changes that are happening and this may look like the same color on the screen but I need them to both have the same code because I am doing specialized printing and need no changes in color codes like this to occur.
    If I have the color setting in both photoshop and illustrator both set exactly the same "Edit---> color settings" then do you know why this color shift would be happening. Please help.

  • Photoshop CS6 - Color keeps changing

    I have Photoshop CS6 for Windows 7.
    Whenever I put the main color in and then switch it out for another color, the main color that's been used before keeps changing into a darker color instead of the same color tone it was taken from. I don't know if there's a problem with the RGB Color, or something else I need to check. Is there something that can fix this?

    Okay then. I mean when I use the Eyedropper Tool on the color that I had already put on a picture, the color becomes darker than what is shown when I use the Brush tool.
    Like when I put light red as the foreground color, then switch it out for another color, then used the Eyedropper tool to copy the light red color to use it again, the light red color instead becomes a slight darker red when I use the brush or other related tools I use to color in my picture.
    Hope this detail is clear enough.

  • Colour changes when importing Illustrator graphics into Flash CS3

    Hi there!
    I'm creating a Flash site, and all the graphics are imported
    from Illustrator.
    Also, in the Illustrator file, there are some Phtoshop
    graphics with shadow effects on it.
    The problem is, that when I import the .ai into Flash, a
    pretty strong colour change occurs: everything becomes lighter. And
    the shadow, wich is black in Photoshop, turns white in Flash!
    Is there a way to solve this problem? I searched the net, and
    some people say it's an OSX thing, wich is pretty strange, because
    Mac is an obvious choice for loads of designers.
    I've attached an image preview.
    Preview
    Thanks in advance!
    Alex

    Thanks for the anwsers!
    However, the weird thing is, when I pick one of the photoshop
    graphics, asign the profile to it, and import it into Flash, the
    colors look fairly good. BUT when I import the complete Illustrator
    file with alle the graphics in it, I still get the color shift. I
    can now put all the graphics in the flash file, one at a time, but
    I think thats not the most easy way to do it..

  • Importing crisp photoshop graphics correctly! how? please help!

    Can someone please give me a simple answer to how to import a graphic from photoshop without it looking like crap once it is in final cut. I am setting my sequence settings (frame size) to NTSC DV (3:2). frame size (720 x 480) - my photoshop graphic is 720 X 480 as well but looks horrible when imported and after rendered.
    What is going on here? I just want to import a crisp high resolution graphic without spending 6 months figuring out what the correct settings etc are.....I need to get on editing this video...
    Can anyone give me a simple explanation as to how to proceed correctly?
    thanks!
    -Peter

    First off what bothers me or what I was worried about originally is that at one point my graphics looked fine and then after rendering they looked like crap. When I re - created my entire project this bad quality was an issue directly on import (I've tried so many settings I can't even remember how it looked good the first time).
    Thanks for your response bit I still have a few questions for you so I'm clear....
    When you say change my sequence to "DVCPRO50" - do you mean in the "compressor" area?
    another words sequence menu / settings - then inside that window there is a compressor drop dowm menu....this is the only place I see the option for "DVCPRO50".
    Also I have already created all my psds a certain pixel size...are you telling me
    that I have to re-create every one of them from scratch at 720 X 534 then re-size?
    This will mean a lot of work since I've allready created them in a different size document.
    Also I've been saving as a "targa" as far as file type... Is that the best way to go?
    And lastly, what is the best setting for exporting? It seems all the options I've tried
    have been giving me less then satisfactory results... most quicktime exports look horrible,
    and the only file type that looks somewhat ok is "divx" - but still my last attempt at that even looked less then perfect...... do all of these settings mean nothing if my render settings all-ready
    mess up my file from the start?
    if I do everything perfect from the beginning then what is my best export options?
    Thanks in advance for any more help....

  • How can one edit a .gif file graphics background and change the fonts in Photoshop Elements 13?

    I am trying to change the color and fonts of some of my web sites .gif files. Can I change the color to another hexadecimal color and change the fonts of the letters in Photoshop 13? I am using Windows 7 and heard that you could save the .gif file to another format, edit it, then change the file back to a .gif file. Is this true? If so, how do you do it? The file just has a solid color with the letters "Firm " on it. No animation.

    You can edit a gif without changing the format, but once you save the file as a gif the text becomes part of the image, not text anymore, so you would need to clone or heal away the existing text and then create a new text layer and use save for web to create a new gif.
    For access to the most editing tools, while the file is open in the editor go to image>mode and change it from index color to RGB. Saving as a gif will change it back to index mode.

  • Why do colors slightly change when copying from Illustrator to Photoshop?

    I want to copy a object from Illustrator and paste it into a Photoshop document with the same color mode and profile.
    When I use the Eyedropper Tool on the pasted object in Photoshop the color seems to be slightly off.
    Both the Illustrator and the Photoshop document have their Color Mode set to RGB
    Both Applications are using synchronized color settings.
    This also happens when the object is dragged or Placed. It does not happen when copying from Photoshop to Illustrator.
    Could there be a problem with my color management settings? What actually happens to the color information, when it is copied from one application to another?
    Thanks for any help.

    Why the heck are people still using these nonsensical hexadecimal HTML numbers?
    Since some decades we got used to describe RGB values by decimal numbers 0...255.
    Both your value sets are practically the same, but how they were converted from one
    to the other, that requires an investigation, how Adobe workflows are distributed
    between California and Bangalore.

  • Only Photoshop Causes Color Issues

    Photoshop CS4 Extended v. 11.0.1, Win XP Pro sp3 platform on a Dell Optiplex 755 with dual Dell 1908 FP (Digital) on Radeon X1300/X1550 Series monitors...
    OK, I am incredibly frustrated.  For whatever reason, photoshop displays my image colors completely differently than any other program.  So, I import a graphic or photo that already has beautiful colors and it looks like crap...or I am working on a photo image in PS, tweak it until it looks GREAT in PS, use it or display it in another format and it looks like crap!
    Please, please, please! Can someone tell me why this is happening?  This did NOT happen to me when I used CS2!
    As an example, see below.  The left image is the .eps file as viewed in Illustrator (which closely resembles the printed product).  The right image is the .eps file as viewed in Photoshop!!
    Seriously folks, any and all assistance with this will be GREATLY appreciated!  I do far too much photo editing work in PS to have to deal with this on a constant basis.

    Adobe Gamma has been omitted from the last two versions of Photoshop!
    So unless you have CS2 or earlier still installed it won't be there.
    You need to use another software device or, for best results something like this.

  • CS6: Can't switch off color management in the printerdriver when photoshop manages colors

    So this is weird: I'm using CS6 Extended and Lightroom 5 on a Windows 7 Pro machine, printing to an old Canon Pixma Ip5200R. When i print from Lightroom, i am using a special printer profile for the pixma and my photopaper, so color management is switched off in the printer driver. The photos print fine.
    Now when i print the same photo from CS6, it has a magenta color cast, so clearly something is wrong with the color management. Even though i am using the same printer, the same paper, the same printer profile and  - of course! - had set photoshop to manage the colors, and switched color managent off in the printer driver. The magenta cast could be an indication that the photo is double colormanaged.
    It took my quite a while to find out what happens, and this is really weird: When i re-checked the printer driver settings, i noticed that the color management settings did not stick. The canon printer driver offers the options "driver matching" "windows ICM" "none", e.g. having color management done by the printer driver or windows, or switch color management  off. So when i go to the PS print settings and set it to "photoshop manages colors", add the correct printer profile, i have to check the settings in the printer driver and make sure that color management is set to "none". I set it to "none" and click OK. Now everything should be configured correctly. But it's not - because when i re-check the print driver settings, i see color management is set to "diver matching". I can go to the print driver settings again and agian, but whenever i check, color management is set to "driver matching". This setting simply does not stick. No wonder i get a mangenta cast on my prints, the colors are doublemanaged by photoshop AND my printer driver.
    Now, this is getting weirder: Only the color management settings don't stick. I can change other settings like print quality and the stick.
    But - how do i get rid of this? The culprit seems to be photoshop, not the printer driver. If i print from lightroom, i can change the color management settings in the (very same) printer driver and they stick. When i set the photoshop print dialogue to "printer manages colors" i can change the color management settings in the (very same) printer driver - and they stick! So this looks as if photoshop stops me intentionally from using the correct printer driver settings, that is from switching off the printer drivers color management if it is set to manage colors.
    I have already resetted my personal photoshop preferences, but this changed nothing. What am i missing? What is going wrong? Your help is very appreciated.

    Hi all, Just to let you know that I finally solved my problem myself.
    Essentially what had occurred was that I had updated my Epson driver for my printer , but it hadn't installed, despite informing me that it had! To cut a long story short when I checked in System preferences the older driver for Leopard O/S was still the current driver. I proceeded to ask Epson support for assistance, bu despite their efforts I could not immediately resolve the problem. They were directing me to my Utilities program to remove all traces of my current driver from Printer Utility which did not exist. When I queried this they stated it was not always visible and I should proceed to the next step then install the new driver. Problem was they required me to access this invisible utility in order to complete this process, and yes before you ask I had informed them I was using an Intel Mac with Snow Leopard 10.6.2 O/S. Finally I ignored their advice and took the following steps:
    1. I opened System Preferences and double clicked the Printer & Fax icon.
    2. I highlighted my Epson R2400 Pinter and removed it by clicking the minus sign at the bottom of the Printers window.
    3. Next I did a search and deleted any old drivers for my R2400 that were on my system with the exception of the new Driver.
    4. I restarted my Mac Pro.
    5. I reinstalled my new printer driver which I had previously downloaded from Epson Support.
    6. I restarted my Mac Pro and found that the new driver had installed correctly and full functionality had been returned to the Print Features Dialogue box i.e I could now turn of color management and access advanced features to set the quality of printing using the full spec of the R2400.
    Hope this post will be helpful to others if they have a similar problem

  • CS5 print dlg reverts to 'Photoshop Manages Colors'

    Hello!  I'm struggling with the Print dialog box in CS5 (12.0.4 x64).  I want to apply printer color adjustments to a print job.  I choose 'Printer Manages Colors' then open the Print Settings dialog for the printer, make the changes I want then click OK.  On returning to the Photoshop Print dialog I see that where I had chosen 'Printer Manages Colors' has reverted to 'Photoshop Manages Colors.'  If I open the printer properties dialog again I find the settings set to default rather than to the settings I had just previously selected.
    FYI, under Printer Profile in the Photoshop Print dialog the printer's ICM profile is selected.

    you have a choice of Color Sync or Epson (on a Mac

    it may be a wise move to delete your printer from Print & Fax and add it back (as well as updating to the latest driver)
    1) Open a copy of WhackedRGB PDI test image in Photoshop

  • Printing from CS5, Photoshop Manages Colors

    I only do photo quality prints to Epson matte  a few times a year so I run test prints with various settings to get what I want. My granddaughters wanted some prints from a web site framed and my wife wanted  prints of an emailed photo of their old mountain cabin. I had to do some color manipulation of the cabin, but the web site images had been expertly processed and all I had to do was print properly. I experimented with the cabin image print settings. Epson changed the names of all their papers, so the Epson print profiles in the print dialog didn't match the name on the matte paper box. I deciphered that, but I wasn't happy with the result so I tried two of the other Epson profiles and hated it. There's quite a long list of profiles available, some specific, and some just conventional color spaces like sRGB, aRGB. For the heck of it I tried Pro Photo RGB as a printer to paper profile. The print of the cabinimage with an embedded aRGB profile was everything I could want. I did the web site sRGB images the samwe way and they were really nice.
    The puzzle is this: What does using Pro Photo RGB as an instruction to the printer cocerning what it is printing to thru Photoshop even mean? The printer has never heard of the colors possible in Pro Photo, and the source image is in sRGB ( verified by Photoshop). I can conceive that an RAW image should be rendered as aRGB for inkjet and that the inkjet has some blues that are outside the aRGB, but I can't understand telling an inkjet to use Pro Photo to print sRGB.
    Maybe gator soup knows what I'm trying to get at.

  • Important Hints on Color Management under Windows XP!!

    After struggling for several hours, I have learned a couple important tidbits I have not seen elsewhere in these forums. As much confusion as I read in here about color management and color issues, this might be quite important to some.
    If you want to skip the story, jump down to the last few lines of this entry for the summary.
    I recently built a new computer, and when I copied my catalog over to the new drive and opened it, all my files as viewed in Lightroom had a distinctly "yellow" tinge, as compared to their exported JPEG brethren (as viewed in Windows Explorer thumbnail view). I realized, aha, I haven't set up color management on the new system yet, so this is to be expected. Lightroom internally uses a different color space than XP, so without some color management they won't match.
    Well, after going around and around setting up monitor profiles and so forth, I was getting nowhere. Nothing was changing the appearance of the yellowish images in Lightroom!
    Abandoning the effort for the time being, I switched to other tasks, and imported an old catalog to see if I wanted any of the old work before I deleted it. Then i did a double take... my color problem was fixed! Could color profile info be stored with catalogs? Surely not.
    So I started experimenting. Removed all monitor profiles. No change. Switched back to the newer catalog. The colors changed. Put the monitor profile back. No change. Restart Lightroom. No change. Click load catalog, and then pick the same catalog I'm on. No change. Load the old catalog, the colors changed. After several rounds of experimentation, I am now sure of the veracity of this new discovery.
    Here is the moral of this story, in two bullets:
    (1) Some color management changes in Windows XP are only apparent in Lightroom when you load a catalog. Even restarting Lightroom, or restarting Windows isn't enough. Only loading a catalog makes the changes show up.
    (2) You can't simply reload the catalog you are on. You have to load a different catalog, so Lightroom offers to Relaunch, in order to get the changes.
    I hope this helps someone.

Lightroom internally uses a different color space than XP, so without some color management they won't match.
    Since Windows Explorer is not managed, they will NEVER match, even if you use sRGB in your exported jpegs as you should. This is even true if you calibrate your monitor. You can only get a complete match when your monitor's primaries correspond precisely to sRGB, which basically never happens. In unmanaged apps, calibration only impacts the contrast (i.e. gamma and blackpoint) of the monitor. This is why the use of managed apps is so important.
    >So I started experimenting. Removed all monitor profiles. No change. Switched back to the newer catalog. The colors changed. Put the monitor profile back. No change. Restart Lightroom. No change. Click load catalog, and then pick the same catalog I'm on. No change. Load the old catalog, the colors changed. After several rounds of experimentation, I am now sure of the veracity of this new discovery.
    This is weird. Lightroom for me always picks up on a new monitor profile after a restart. I don't need to load a different catalog. Definitely not normal and unexpected behavior.
    >How could a monitor profile do this? Monitor profiles effect the image as it's sent to the monitor, so how could LR even "know" what monitor profile is selected? This still isn't making sense to me.
    Actually it does have to know. The way color management is implemented on windows (and Mac OS too), is that apps are responsible for doing the translation to the monitor profile. The OS just tells the app about the monitor profile and the app can deal with it as it pleases. This way the app can either use a system library such as ColorSync or the windows equivalent, or its own profile conversion code such as all Adobe Apps do. This is why unmanaged apps are not suddenly magically corrected. The only thing that gets corrected for unmanaged apps is the grey response because this is handled by a LUT (lookup table) in the videocard.

  • Importing Photoshop layered files to Motion

    I'm having issues importing Photoshop layered files to Motion. When the file appears in the viewer, text or the shapes in the Photoshop file have changed colors. It's almost like motion doesn't recognize a gradient color in the text or shape. I've tried rasterizing the layer but it didn't help. Any suggestions?

    hopefully above fixed that! not to hijack, but group layer labels don't seem to imported properly into apple products. is this due to the apple-adobe wars? i am anal so all my photoshop layers are grouped with some organization, but in motion it looks like a mess. thx,

  • Needed:  Script for importing Photoshop layers, converting to shape layers

    I've uncovered what seems to be a "bug" in After Effects CS5.  When I import photoshop artwork in layers, and then try to apply effects to an individual layer, such as a color change, a drop shadow, or pretty much anything including puppets, when I later try to render the movie, it crashes.
    My solution has been to laborously go through and convert any layer where I need to apply effects into an AE shape layer, copy the mask over, etc.  Its not much fun, but it does solve the bug.
    I know this could be done with a script, but I don't have the chops or the time to write it.
    Has anybody else written such a script?
    In essence, it needs to:
    1.  import a Photoshop file in layers.
    2.  select each layer in the file and
    3. create an AE layer
    4.copy the mask from the PS layer and
    5. paste it onto the AE layer.
    6. keeping the same registration and
    7. keeping the color of the PS layer.
    Easy, huh?  For somebody who knows what they're doing, which doesn't include me.....
