New Hyperlink Color

I am having trouble changing a hyperlink color.
My default is red and I wwant it to be blue.
I create a new hyperlink, modify the font, size, and color as I want.
I "Create Character Style From Selection".
When I use Link Inspector - Enable as a hyperlink - email, it changes font and size, but not color.
The default red is always used.
This happens if I make the text a link first or if I make the changes first and then make it a link.
What am I doing wrong?
Default: My Hyperlink
Desire: My Hyperlink
Muchas Gracias

Here is how a new Hyperlink 2 looks on my iMac in iBooks Author:
The Character Style is blue, but the text stays red. And here it is on my iPad:
Hard to see, but it is in blue as it should be.
So why do my efforst to modify show up correctly on the Mac?

Hyperlink color doesn't change when hovering over link

I create hyperlink, color I select for hovering over link works fine. But sometimes when I publish to my website the link color does not change, but the link works ok. I go back to my mac and check, sure enough the color changes just fine. I wipe out the link and reinsert new one. Works fine on the mac, but when I publish, color does not change when hovering. Help.

Welcome to the discussions. This is a long shot, but try clearing your browser's cache and reloading the page — then see if the color changes when hovering. ( In Safari, click on the Safari menu and choose +Empty Cache...+ )

Can I have "All spots to process" checked at all times, even for new spot colors?

When I check “All spots to process” in the pdf export settings and save my settings the settings remember that I've checked this option. But, if new spot color objects using new spot color swatches are added to the document (or another document) and I go into the pdf export settings the check mark has been changed into a dash (with the actual checkbox highlighted) – signifying that only some of of the spot colors will be changed to process colors during export. I absolutely fail to see how this could possibly be seen as a feature and not a bug … if the user has checked “ALL spots to process” wouldn't the user expect ALL spots to be converted to process colors, rather than just any spot colors that happened to be in the document that happened to be open when the user first checked that checkbox and saved that setting?
Am I missing something here? What's the point of even having that checkbox as part of your saved export settings if it doesn't include any other spot colors than those used when saving the settings?
What's the point of having settings if you can't trust them, and still need to manually "override" them every time?
I see that some users have taken to writing scripts that instead turn all spot colors in the swatch panel to process colors, and while I commend them for creating that workaround, I'm still pissed at Adobe for not getting the function right.
If this is a feature, who is it for? People who want to add just certain spot colors and turn those into process colors rather than turning all spot colors into process colors are surely better off doing that in the swatches panel, where they're in total control of what's what. And if they don't want to "permanently" change their spot colors to process colors, and prefer to (temporarily) convert them during exporting/printing only, they can do that in the ink manager. But when someone checks convert "All spots to process" couldn't we safely assume they really want ALL spot colors to be converted and not just some of them? I mean, the way that checkbox behaves now, it's like it's a button and not a checkbox. As in: hit the button "All spots to process" to switch all currently viewed spot colors to process colors in the ink manager, OR check the "All spots to process" checkbox to always convert ALL spot colors to process colors during exporting/printing.
Anyone got any light to shed on this?
And is there a way to actually get the advertised behavior, because if you have to run a script every time you export/print you might as well just manually select the checkbox every time instead, but either way it's just really unnecessary as far as I'm concerned … Adobe should get the feature right instead.
If you save a setting and recall it, it shouldn't be possible for that setting to change into something else (in this case changing a checkmark to a dash).
Clearly CMYK printing is the norm, so for most users it would make a lot of sense to have the "All spots to process" checked most of the time, and then you just go into the swatches panel or the ink manager and set things correctly for those print jobs that really do need spot colors.
I myself am not one of those who add spot colors to my swatches unless I'm really using them as spot colors, but I often work with magazines and folders featuring adverts made by whoever, and typically there's always at least one advert that features spot colors, and therefore it would be very nice if the "All spots to process" feature actually worked as advertised without any required actions from me.
We stopped sending ads back to the advertisers for adjustments a long time ago, unless we absolutely had to, because there were so many things wrong with so many ads that it was simply too much work to write back and explain everything to people who most of the time didn't even understand what we were talking about. We found that it was usually a LOT faster and easier to just adapt the ads ourselves, as long as it was something that could be worked out really quickly from within InDesign itself, which pretty much included most typical errors.
But with this feature I find Adobe is trying to make my job harder rather than easier, and it's pissing me off. Arrrghh… ;-)

But It's not a preference it's a shortcut
It's a bad joke, is what it is. ;-)
So, why in your opinion should it be presented the way it is? I keep saying in it's current functionality it shouldn't be presented the way it is (and that: if it is, it shouldn't work the way it does). If it's not a preference or even a proper checkbox, why present it that way?
If you put it right next to the table at the top of the window (so that it's directly associated with that information, rather than information right above it) and just called the checkbox “Spot(s) to process” and had it only visually reflect the content of the sleected spot colors in the table, then I'd see your point with likening it to the “Hyphenate” checkbox.
If a story has two selected paragraphs that uses two different hyphenation settings then the checkbox should present the way it does now, but if you hit the checkbox so that both paragraphs now use hyphenation and create a third paragraph inbetween the two previous ones it better inherit that setting and not turn off hyphenation for the new paragraph (unless of course there's a defined next paragraph style that switches to a style with hyphenation turned off). And if that checkbox said “Hyphenate all paragraphs” instead, then I would expect it to do just that, and not just the selected ones, and not just the current paragraphs but quite literally all paragraphs even newly created ones – otherwise it doesn't do what it says it does, and simply shouldn't be labeled that way.
And seriously bad interface design aside, you'd have to rename “All spots to process” to “Switch all currently displayed spot swatches listed in the table above to process” to actually describe what that checkbox does. So even if you're a fan of the current functionality, as opposed to one that actually lets the user set and forget a setting like that, and think it's better that users manually check it repeatedly (which I'm not saying that you are, but you're not giving me any feedback suggesting you even see my point of view with any of this, so what do I know?), then why wouldn't you still support an interface that visually matches/signals that functionality better? If it's a “Select all” checkbox supplementing a table containing a column of checkboxes, then present it that way. Don't put it at the bottom of the window next to another checkbox that works just like a regular checkbox and label it “All spots to process” – because that way you are signalling a different behavior.
Seriously, if I was to do design using the same mentality that Adobe uses when designing their user interfaces it wouldn't be long before I lost all clients. There's a lot to be said for de facto monopolies, I suppose. Oh no, there's nothing wrong with the design, just as long as you accept it on it's own terms and don't compare it to anything relevant, and just as long as you give people enough time to understand and accept it … and surrender to it.
For real … I wouldn't win one single pitch that way.
Today's threads have in many ways been a thorough reminder of the following quote from the second link I provided:
Is there an Internet rule yet stating that even the most obviously indefensible mistake will eventually be defended by someone somewhere? Awful marketing efforts get explained as genius viral campaigns, broken features become solutions.
And whether or not you're able to see my point of view or not is really besides the point too.
The real point was, and remains to be:
That for those who receive lots of ads or other external files that may or may not contain spot colors it would be far more useful to be able to set a checkbox to always convert all spots to process when exporting, than the current functionality is (and I'm not suggesting eliminating the current functionality, just change so it's presented like what it really is, and then just let that separate checkbox do what it says) … causing unnecessary manual action on the user's behalf shouldn't be the business of Adobe – preventing it should.
And here's further reading on the subject of bad Adobe interface design for those who might feel so inclined. ;-)
Cheers!

Illustrator CS4, new Pantone color books, color channel issue

Since I installed the new Pantone color books, I've been running in a major issue which will affect our whole production line.
If an Illustrator CS4 file contains a Photoshop CS4 image which is using an "old" Pantone color in a color channel, it cannot be opened and I get an error message "File is unreadable". If I replace the "old" Pantone colour with its new equivalent in the color channel in Photoshop, the file can be opened normally.
In our work environment, this means going through all our images to check which one is using a color channel. A painful and time wasting procedure. Furthermore, if one of our suppliers doesn't have the new color books, they won't be able to open any of the files, both Photoshop and Illustrator, so they have no way to revert back to the old Pantone.
Is there another way to fix this?
Thank you

More on the Pantone PLUS saga, hoping to get some input from the users of this forum. I find their silence deafening, to say the least. This is a serious issue, that will cost our agency hours and hours of work if it isn't addressed. And we've already wasted hours of troubleshooting and discussions on how we could resolve it.
We're actually testing a workaround: using both the old and the new libraries in Illustrator. After consulting our suppliers, we've learned that this is what they also do. For them, it's a one shot to get the file to print. For us, it means cheating with files that will get edited again in the future. And the Pantone installer removes the old Pantone books from the Adobe folders for a reason which is mentioned on the download page:
The reason that the PANTONE Color Libraries that had been built into Illustrator need to be removed and replaced with the PANTONE PLUS Color Libraries is that, in Illustrator, a PANTONE Color can only have one data point with which it is associated. In the short term, in order to benefit from the new colors and data associated in PLUS, the PANTONE Libraries that are installed with Adobe Illustrator are removed and replaced with the new PLUS Libraries.
http://www.pantone.com/pages/Pantone/Pantone.aspx?pg=20721&ca=1
I worry this may lead to another bunch of issue, knowing how easily AI files get corrupted. What I need to know is:
What is the exact meaning of the Pantone warning about the "one data point per color?
What are the long term implications of using both Pantone libraries in an Adobe file? Or in the Adobe app?

Hyperlink Colors

We are experiencing a minor problem with hyperlink colors, specifically "visited" hyperlinks. The color is not changing. I have checked the browser and the settings are set to colors for the visited and unvisited links.
Is this setting controlled anywhere in the Web Server?
Jeff

No, Web Server has no control the colour of hyperlinks. The colour for visited links can be controlled by style sheets and/or HTML attributes; check the HTML source and any associated style sheets.

New Pantone colors not showing up in the Pantone swatches palette!

There are new colors in the most recent Pantone books that we are not seeing in the available color swatches within Illustrator CS4.
Is this because the new swatches are only included in the newest version of Illustrator (CS5)?
Can we get an update so the new PMS colors are available in the Illustrator color palette within CS4?

I'm not sure about the timing of CS5 and Pantone's latest color release. Try pantone.com and look for "software" or "downloads". I believe the latest release is available for a price, depending on what you are looking for.

Hyperlink color and publishing wierdness

I've used the tutorial at 11Mystics to change hyperlink colors in my blog templates and in the existing pages. In each case, I made the changes one at a time and then checked in iWeb to make sure they worked. Every page displayed in iWeb exactly as I wanted.
Then I published all to .Mac. Viewing the blog entries in Safari, some of the links appeared blue while others were still the default gray. In at least two blog entries this is true within a page - some are blue some are gray. I tried recreating those pages thinking that the newly edited template would fix it. Again, in iWeb everything appeared fine but in Safari the same result. I cleared the Safari cache and relaunched with no change.
Then it occured to me to check in Firefox. There all of the links are perfect. If this was as far as it went I'd attribute it to Safari problems. But I also checked using Firefox on my office PC and there most of the links are correct but a couple are still gray. So that is three different results. I'm very perplexed. The only thing I can think of is that in the two browsers where it isn't quite right, I've viewed some of these pages before whereas in Firefox on my Mac I hadn't (I rarely use Firefox on the Mac). On the PC and in Safari I've cleared the cache so I don't see why previous viewing would be an issue.
In case anyone wants to have a look:
http://web.mac.com/dmath/iWeb/Woodworking/Blog/Blog.html
Choose the top entry. There should be three blue links. In Safari on my iBook only the first one (Bridge City Tool Works) is blue.
I'd appreciate any help with this. Thanks.

More information: I just tried it on my kids' Mac Mini running an old version of Safari. All of the links display perfectly. It must be a cache issue. I'll have a look around on the Safari discussion board to see if I can find anything.

From paragraph Style to "New Hyperlink Destination"

Dear InDesign Experts
Please help me to find a way or Script to add all headings of specific paragraph style to "New Hyperlink Destination....(Text Anchor)"
and ... is there any automation for such a task?
Thank you in advance

Hi Saud,
Try the below script.
var activeDoc = app.activeDocument;
    app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
    app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
app.findGrepPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = "XXXX";//Give your paragraph Style name here
var foundRefList = activeDoc.findGrep();
    app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
    app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
var myCount =0;
var foundListLength = foundRefList.length;
for (var j = 0; j<foundListLength; j++){
    var myParas = foundRefList[j].paragraphs;
    var myParaLength = myParas.length;
    for (var i = 0; i<myParaLength; i++){
        var myText = myParas[i].texts[0];
        app.select(myText);
        var myId = j+"_"+(i+1);
        var myHyperlinkCitDestination = activeDoc.hyperlinkTextDestinations.add(myText, {name: myId});
        myCount++;
    app.select(NothingEnum.nothing);
    alert("Process Completed\n"+myCount+" destinations added");
p.s: I've not tested it, please check this at your end and let me know.

Change AE CC 2014.2 new Highlight color

Hi,
I like the new UI improvements, but the new Highlight-Color is cancer for my eyes and is more distracting than helpful.
Is there a way to change this?
Cheers - Michael

There are quite a few threads on this already - here and in the Premiere Pro forum.
Many people agree with you - me included. I find it so bad that I will be reverting back to the previous version prior to my next lengthy AE session.
I think an urgent patch is required. We can't wait until the next official update - or we'll all have migrated to a competitor's product

When will Adobe load the new Pantone colors into the Suite?

Pantone added hundreds of fabulous colors last year and these are not available to specify in any of the Adobe Suite programs!

You can get them from Pantone although they don't make it easy. Checkout this thread starting at #9

With the free trial version of Pantone Manager you can install the new 336 colors and Goe.

Hyperlink color not showing up

I can get the hyperlink to be a color when I'm editing/composing a blog entry; but when I publish it, it looks black until you roll over it. You can't even tell it's a hyperlink unless you would accidentally roll over it. What am I doing wrong?

I'm having the same problem with hyperlink colors viewed in Safari 3.1.2, whether Normal or Rollover Format. Firefox 3.0.1 displays the colors as formatted in iWeb. I was having this issue prior to and still with iWeb 2.0.4. Click here to see what I mean and look at the links in the text box. I have the Normal color set to Midnight and the Rollover color set to Steel in iWeb.
Update; Actually, Firefox is not displaying the colors 100% either. At the bottom of the text box where it says photo gallery and resume, photo gallery is not in the Midnight color.

A new Book: Color Management for Digital Photographers

Ted Padova and Don Mason have published a new book: Color Management for Digital Photographers for Dummies (ISBN 978-0-470-04892-4).
As the back cover of the manual states "This book is packed with examples to guide you through understanding color basics, correcting brightness and contrast, getting the exact tone and hue, and creating perfect prints - in full color, of course!" (with the tools available in PSE 4 and 5).
I had the luck to benefit from the excellent experience and the gracious help of Don Mason for a color/brightness adjustment problem in a Dafodill photo that I did not know how to solve on my own. I look forward to learn much more from this book.
Probably other PSE users could also be interested in this book.

Yes, I've tried all of the options: Printer manages color, PSE manages color. All are the same dark prints.
On another conversation on this forum, I read the following. Very discouraging to think that Adobe knows of this problem but won't give me any tech support because too much time has lapsed.
I don't know what "plugs" are--sounds like this user figured out a way around it.
Any advice?
Thanks!

Re: Color mismatch EpsonR800 and Elements 6
Adobe has admitted that there is a color management issue with PSE 6 for Mac. I have an Epson R1900 and I am now getting acceptable color-managed prints by allowing the Epson Printer driver to manage color management (ie; color management in PSE 6 turned off). The Epson Photoshop Plug In also works well with PSE6 and ICC profiles; however, I have yet to solve 2 problems with this particular plug in: (1) How to get the program to capture 3rd party ICC profiles and (2) how to print borderless prints. If anyone has seen a user guide for this particular plug in, I would be grateful to know how to download it.
