Importing CMYK images - Mac CS5

Hi There,
I've searched the forums but turned up nothing (have noticed this a lot recently - is the search working currently?) so sorry if this easy.
We do a lot of print AND a lot of web which means we have a lot of CMYK images in our image library. In Photoshop this is easily handled but when we import CMYK images into Fireworks the colours go crazy.
Is there a way to import them and have them look correct?
The default colour management policy for CMYK images in Adobe apps is: none - don't change values. Wonder if this is contributing to the issue?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers

Thanks Linda,
That's a real shame.
I'm not after CMYK support in Fireworks but the color conversion Fireworks does is way off - especially for a CS5 app.
Is Adobe trying to kill Fireworks off or something? It's been very buggy on Macs up until CS5 and seems to have some surprising gaps - like no colour management.
I guess the safest and quickest way would be to do all our image libraries for websites in Photoshop.
Thanks again.
Cheers

  • After importing an image from cs5 back into lightroom, lightroom is making the image darker

    Lightroom is making my images darker after i edit them in photoshop cs5 and I dont know why. When i open the image back into photoshop it looks fine. Even when i save it as a jpeg lightroom is making the image darker. When i imported the raw image into lightroom before i edited into photoshop it looked fine. Is there a way to fix lightroom?

    See screen shot:
    Click on the two small triangles and under <Lightroom General Presets> select <Zeroed>. Sorry, it seems that the option <None> is not available anymore in Lr 4.3. But <Zeroed> has the same effect.
    Alternatively, in the Develop Module, bottom right, just above the film strip click on <Reset>.  See screen shot:

  • Unable to import certain image files in CS5

    I currently am using CS5, and I am unable to import certain image files such as .png and.tga. When I try to import them I get an error message saying something along the lines of file type not supported. Any help?

    Make sure that the images are not CMYK color space.
    Already tried that, thanks
    One thing to take note of is everytime I start AE I get a pop up box saying "You have at least one output module template that refers to a missing plug-in. Please check your Output Module Template". That plug-in would be the TIIFF alpha sequence output. Perhaps  that has something to do with it..

  • How can I import scanned images into InDesign CS5 using Mac10.6?

    I want to be able to import scanned images. What file format must I save the data in?

    Greg Parks L.A. wrote:
    For example, to print on a press you need images that are CMYK at 300 ppi, 100% scale. If you're just making office-quality documents or PDFs, you can use RGB images at a lower resolution.
    You do not need images to be CMYK for print. InDesign can handle the conversion from RGB to CMYK when exporting to PDF. The old rule of thumb that images for print need to be 300 ppi is history. The ideal minimum resolution is halftone screen times the square root of 2 (1.41421356). But you can get away with a lower resolution for most images.

  • Trouble Importing Raw Images from my Mac. Help?

    Hello! I have a Mac and I was trying to import my raw images on to Lightroom 5. When I select the folder I want to import they all show up but it will not let me select or check any of the images. Is this happening because they are raw images? I imported raw images before and never had this problem. So I tried importing it again straight from my flash drive instead of the folder but it does not let me select any of the images either. I'm on a deadline and I need to import these photos asap. Please let me know what options I can try to fix this. Thanks in advance!

    When I select the folder I want to import they all show up but it will not let me select or check any of the images.
    This is because these photos have previously been imported into Lightroom, and thus by default cannot be imported a second time. In fact, it is not a good idea to import photos a second time, and completely unnecessary. What you should do is find the photos in the Library Module and then work with the photos that you have just found that have been previously imported.

  • Premiere Pro CS5 won't import still images correctly

    I've about had it with this pile of ****.
    Brand new install of Premiere Pro CS5. When attempting to import still images, random images will show up as other images. i.e. in Windows, I'll have the following:
    one.jpg (shows up at one.jpg)
    two.jpg (shows up at two.jpg)
    three.jpg (shows up at three.jpg)
    Once I import them into PPro, I get this:
    one.jpg (shows up at one.jpg)
    two.jpg (shows up at two.jpg)
    three.jpg (shows up at one.jpg) <-----
    In other words, three.jpg is named three.jpg in PPro, but when I bring it into a sequence, or view it, it displays the image from one.jpg
    I've tried clearing the media cache, renaming the images, moving them to different directories/drives. Any suggestions? Or should I just get my money back ffs. Thanks for any help.

  • Importing CMYK still images into PE12

    I am very disappointed that Premiere Elements 12 does not import CMYK still images as it is time consuming to have to keep converting to RGB. Does Adobe propose to remedy this? Also, a 'generic failure' message is not exactly helpful. And it would also be helpful it the official Adobe list of acceptable files made it clear that CMYK coulod not be imported. I always thought that Adobe were experts when it came to file formats. How would we manage without Adobe Photoshop?

    Ooops, sorry if I'm in the wrong forum after all that!! To be honest, I hadn't even realised there was a Photoshop Elements as I use the full Photoshop myself. But I'm even more surprised at the suggestion that Photoshop Elements will also not accept CMYK files as even hobbyists presumably often use Photoshop Elements for print for which CMYK is better.
    You are wrong. Hobbyist very rarely use CMYK for excellent reasons. First, CMYK is the normal color model when you want to print on professionnal offets presses or similar. That's not a common output for hobbyists... whether they use home printers, local labs or web labs, RGB is required. If you send CMYK to those devices, they will convert to RGB before using their own color model which may be a variant of CMYK...
    Since you are starting with RGB from your cameras, any conversion will lose information. CMYK is inferior in that case.
    Presumably Abobe's view is that people who want CMYK should stop grumbling and buy for the 'full' programme, whether it is Photoshop Elements or Premiere Elements. Not very helpful!
    There, I think you are right

  • J'utilise Lightroom sur Mac. Aujourd'hui, impossible d'importer des images depuis une carte mémoire sur un disque dur externe.

    J'ai changé de disque dur externe, le problème est le même.

    Merci pour votre réponse. Ce que je ne comprends pas c’est que je peux ouvrir les fichiers directement du disque dur externe mais que Lightroom ne trouve plus rien.

  • Importing still images to Premiere Pro CS5

    I have some still digital images in my computer which I want to use for a project for class.
    The problem I find is that when I import the images they are too big and only a portion of shows.
    Apparently the size of the image has to be 720 wide x 480 tall.
    How do I resize it to that scale?
    Please help.

    Correction: I redid the whole thing as I was using the wrong image.  But anyhow, this is the scenario.
    My project requires images close to 720 wide x 480 tall.   My image is 3264 x 2448
    When I resized I couldn't use 720 width as the "constrain proportions" makes the height 540.
    The latter being greater than the 480... so I have selected (with the right image now) 640 width and it automatically inserts a height of 480.
    This is better than the previous dimensions with the wrong image so I guess I might be ok.  What do you think?

  • Problème pour importer des images dans Indesign CS5.5

    Bonjour,
    J'utilise Indesign depuis peu, aussi je me familiarise avec ce logiciel en réalisant des travaux pratiques à l'aide du manuel "travaux pratiques avec Indesign" (très bien expliqué et détaillé).
    Je ne parviens pas, malgré que je suive les instructions à la lettre, à importer des images.
    Mes blocs image sont créés, mais lorsque j'utilise la commande "importer" et que j'ai sélectionné les images au format jpg, soit l'image se place en grand derrière mon document, avec une partie qui dépasse dans la table de montage, soit un rond apparaît dans le bloc de texte, soit j'ai l'image au bout du curseur mais elle disparaît lorsque je clique dans le bloc de texte.
    Pouvez-vous m'aider à résoudre ce problème, en français svp ?
    Merci par avance de votre réponse, car là je suis bloquée !
    Cordialement,
    Véronique

  • Importing duotone into ID CS5

    I am creating a 2 color document in ID CS5. Duotones were created in Photoshop with black and a PMS color.
    When I import an image into InDesign, it changes my spot color into cmyk instead of the pantone spot that I set up.
    Now the printer is saying that the colored text is cmyk instead of 1 PMS color.
    What is the problem??
    Thanks.

    Actually Indesign does not change anything. Your imported file is intact. Simply by export you have an option to chose how many plates you would like to generate.
    Some designers work with color books only. They create a lot of Pantones in the document, even they are aware that finally the work will be printed "from 4 plates" - CMYK.
    You have an option, by PDF export, to convert them all (or just few of them) to CMYK. Conversion is performed by official Pantone Inc. CMYK representations. This is very convenient workflow.

  • CMYK image in a PDF is involuntarily converted to RGB when you send from Acrobat Pro DC to Photoshop for editing

    Hi,
    When I send a CMYK image from Adobe Acrobat Pro DC to Photoshop CC 2014 to be edited, it opens up as RGB in Photoshop CC 2014. If I do the same with Adobe Acrobat XI on another machine, the image opens as CMYK, as it should normally do. As we had created the print-ready PDF in the first place, we know that the image is definitely CMYK and is properly opened in Photoshop if we use Adoba Acrobat Pro XI. We of course can go back to the original document and edit the linked image and re-export a new PDF. But on many occasions we need to do last minute corrections on images by editing them externally in Photoshop.
    Best,
    Refik Telhan

    It's really necessary to know by which program you had created the PDF.
    Here comes a test PDF for questions like yours, created by InDesign:
    http://docs-hoffmann.de/riptest05072013.pdf
    Different images:
    sRGB, pRGB=ProphotoRGB, CMYK , all with individually embedded profile,
    Grayscales: without embedded profiles, because InDesign doesn't embed gray profiles,
    Lab: without profile, because Lab is automatically detected and not ambiguuos.
    Of course, using so many different images in one PDF is useful only for tests.
    An actual test:
    Touch Up Object Grayscale and edit in Photoshop. There is no embedded profile
    but the image is in PS detected as Grayscale. One has to assign a profile.
    Re-imported in the doc, it is a Grayscale JPEG*, before it was a Grayscale ZIP.
    In Acrobat 8 one can check the actual content of a PDF by
    Advanced > Print Production > Preflight
    In newer versions this is still available but somewhere else.
    I'm using version 8, because I uninstalled X on purpose.
    Best regards --Gernot Hoffmann
    *Edited:
    As far as I remember, there is no special code for Grayscale JPEGs, it's just a JPEG
    with zeros in the Cb Cr channels ... like an R=G=B gray image.

  • Can't import CR2 images into PHotoshop Elements 9

    Please could someone help me with importing CR images from my Canon S120 camera...it just says doesn't recognise file type?

    You need camera raw 8.3 for your camera. It is only compatible with PSE12 or PSE13. Alternatively, download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
    Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.3
    Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.3
    You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:
