Newbie Question: Color Issues!

I have just started working with Flash. I've been working on an assignment and for the life of me, I can not figure out why the color and fill will not show up when I make a shape in Flash!! I don't know what's wrong, I have followed every how-to on making shapes and the color never shows up just an outline of the shape in the color of that layer (lime green). What's wrong? Any suggestions?? Thank you!

Thanks for the reply! I have tried to untoggle that box and still no color is showing up. I even uninstalled and reinstalled the program this morning and still have the same problem. I have no clue what is wrong! I haven't had any other problems with any of my other Adobe programs except for this one. I am trying to work on a school exercise and I just can't get past this first of drawing these shapes! Any other ideas??

Newbie Question about FM 8 and Acrobat Pro 9

Hello:
I have some dcouments that I've written in FM v8.0p277. I print them to PDF so that I can have a copy to include on a CD and I also print some hard copies.
My newbie question is whether there is a way to create a PDF for hard copy where I mainitain the colors in photos and figures but that the text that is hyperlinked doesn't appear as blue. I want to keep the links live within the soft copy. Is there something I can change within Frame or with Acrobat?
TIA,
Kimberly

Kimberly,
How comes the text is blue in the first place? I guess the cross-reference formats use some character format which makes them blue? There are many options:
Temporarily change the color definition for the color used in the cross-reference format to black.
Temporarily change the character format to not use that color.
Temporarily change the cross-reference definition to not used that character format.
Whichever method you choose, I would create a separate document with the changed format setting and import those format into your book, create the PDF and then import the same format from the official template.

SG200-08 Newbie Questions

I have recently purchased the SG200-08 Smart Switch, but I have a few "newbie questions" about it as I get started using it.
The on board firmware shows 1.0.1.0. Is that the latest firmware to the switch?
Do I need to enable IPv6 Auto Configuration and DCHPv6 in my switch settings to be ready for IPv6 as my ISP rolls it out down the road?
How do I go about changing the switch's username? I was able to easily change the password, but having issues getting the username to change.
Do I need to do anything about the LLDP-MED settings? What exactly is that?
How do I confugure the System Time Settings so the switch functions in my time zone (USA Central Time)?
Thanks a bunch for any assistance!

Hi Nathan,
My guess is that NAT is already on - you have one public IP address from your ISP. Your router will use NAT (network address translation) to allow multiple clients (and either dynamically assign them private IPs via dhcp or you set them statically) to connect to the internet using the one public IP. It also sounds like your RV042G is assigning both ipv6 and ipv4 addresses, and theres nothing wrong with that. Unless you have specific information re: ipv6 from your isp, however, I would suggest not worrying about it until you hear from them. Are your macs connected to the router via the SG200 switch? If so, it looks like its passing ipv6 just fine. UPnP is something completely different - thats with opening ports like you mentioned - its a way that your devices can communicate with the router to automatically enable the proper port forwarding for the device/application.
Regarding the username, create a new user account. I don't think you can edit the cisco user, but try deleting it after creating and testing a new user account..
I'm not familiar with the Polycom system, but I would leave the settings as default unless you are using true IP phones (rather than an ATA adapter). From a quick google of the polycom device, I don't think you will gain anything from LLDP/CDP as the handsets use regular cordless phone freqs. With my setup, we use cisco IP desk phones and cordless wifi phones, CDP makes life easy as the cisco access point, wifi phones, cisco switch, and cisco desk phones (connected via ethernet) see each other and know what they're dealing with automatically.
I don't see the SNTP setting for unicast / broadcast that you're looking at. For the switch to get the time from a sntp server, under administration -> time -> sntp settings, add a server, and then back on time-> system time, enable sntp server as the main clock source. What are you using as your sntp source? Do you have an internal sntp server? You don't need to enable dhcp on the sntp server.
May I also point you to the two manuals, I think they may be helpful: RV042G & SG200
Hope thats helpful.
Best,
David

Buy License for single edition....newbie question

Hi, very new to this forum and DPS. I tried to click the "Buy licence for single edition" link on the left of the page, but was not provided with any cost information - only an adobe product notification page. I am a Adober CS5.5 Design Premium subscriber. Keen to know costings before I learn how to do all this. Cheers

it depends on the adobe store website and may be a legal issue too, because
you don't buy software but a licence here (in fact, sth. like a serial
number)

IPhone 5s screen color issues

Got a 5s, love, however I was wondering, the color white seems "yellowish". I was able to get one (AT&T) through Best Buy, and ordered one through Apple. Both phones seems to have the white color issue. I went to the Apple store and compared the screens, my phone seems "yellowish", even confirmed by the Apple employee. Anyone else having issues?

Thank you for your help, Shipping cost is a issue. I will contact the apple soon
Thank you

Total Newbie Question ... Sorry :-(

I know it's a windows thing, and I am now converted to Mac but I gotta know this because it's doing my head in. It's a complete stupid green gilled newbie question.
When installing new programs on a Mac can you create shortcuts to the programs on the Dock? I did what I THOUGHT it would be, i.e I made an Alias and stuck it in the dock, but on rebooting my Mac later on, in place of the shortcuts where 3 question marks which when clicked on did absolutely nothing???
Help?

You aren't installing something from a dmg file are you? The dmg is a disk image – kind of a virtual CD. So when you double click the dmg and then get the little disk/hardrive/custom icon on your desktop that is the same as if you had mounted a CD. You then need to drag the application off of that "CD" into your application folder. Then it is truly installed.
You can then "eject" the icon your your desktop. This is what happens when you shutdown and without remounting the image your dock shortcut can't find the original.
Just a thought.

Camera Raw 8.7.1 color issues

After the recent camera raw update to 8.7.1 I have noticed some pretty bad color shifts between camera raw and photoshop cs6. The colors in camera raw look very saturated and then when moving into photoshop the saturation shift is pretty dramatic. I never had these issues before the update. I have attached a screenshot illustrating the color issue. I am working on a very good monitor ( NEC PA 242W ) and it is color calibrated using NEC Spectraview calibration system. I have double checked my color setting in photoshop and camera raw to make sure I was viewing the same color space. I am just wondering if this is maybe a bug in the update and others are experiencing the same issues or if I am just missing something.
I would also add that I am using the Creative Suite CS6 and not CC. If that makes a difference.

Thanks ssprengel for the suggestions and running a side by side yourself. I went through all my settings and applied your suggestions and did a side by side each time. I even uninstalled the entire creative suite on my system then reinstalled and updated and I still get the same outcome. It was fine yesterday with the previous version of ACR. It seems like the updated version is not showing the image preview in any color space. When I switch the color space in the workflow options the histogram changes but it doesn't seem to affect the preview window. And yes the preview button was checked on it was just when I was using the screen grab tool in windows it took focus away from the application so that is why the settings appear grayed out. I have attached more screen grabs below illustrating all my settings. Also here is some system info if anyone out there has a similar setup and would be willing to test.

Photoshop CC Color Issues

When I updated my Photoshop program two updates ago I began having color issues in Photoshop as the rest of the Adobe Suite. Regardless of whether the color mode is RGB or CMYK the colors appear washed out on the program. This image http://i.imgur.com/BWVwbx2.jpg is an example. The image on the right is a screen shot of the original image of the shoes copied from the website, the image on the left is the same image copied into photoshop. When I try to save the RGB file as a jpeg or a PDF it looks the same as it did in the program, washed out. However, when the file is CMYK color mode and I try to save it as a jpeg or PDF it looks like this http://i.imgur.com/TAUyeOf.jpg. Both my coworker and I started having this issue on our seperate computers around the same time so I don't believe that it is a graphics card issue or something along those lines. How can I fix this? I have tried calling Adobe support, but unfortunately the person on the phone was not very experienced in the program and unable to help.
Some Info about my computer:
Currently I have Photoshop CC with the 14.2.1 update. I have Windows 7 Professional SP1, 64-bit OS, 8 GB of RAM (7.87 GB Usable) and 360 GB free space on the (C:) drive.

Illustrator and Windows Photo Viewer agree. They should, because they're both fully color managed. I assume Photoshop shows the same.
Picasa is not color managed. All bets are off there, it can display like anything under the sun, depending on what color space the file was created in, and how your monitor displays color.
There is a basic checklist for color management issues:
1 - is the application color managed at all?
2 - is there an embedded document profile, and what is it?
3 - what is the monitor profile?
We've established #1. For #2, see in the lower left corner of the Photoshop image window. Click the little arrow and check "document profile". What does it say?
#3 is often the critical one. This is where your calibrated monitor profile should be - but if you don't do that, it's often a manufacturer supplied profile. These are often worse than worthless. The best option here is to use sRGB if you have a standard gamut monitor (like the U2412) - or Adobe RGB if you have a wide gamut monitor (like your co-worker's U3011). Yes, there is a significant difference between these two.
Anyway:
Go to Control Panel > Color Management > Devices. Set sRGB IEC61966-2.1 as your default monitor profile there and relaunch Photoshop:
With this setting, Photoshop, Illustrator and Windows Photo Viewer will display (more or less) correctly. It could still be that the file had the wrong document profile, or none at all, but the file will display correctly as it is.

Newbie Question. just installed IE7.. how do I set up a local host to preview sites?

Sorry for the newbie question... but it's been a long time since I have done this
Thanks!

Just define your site in DW as always. For a static site, that's all you need to do.

HP 7260: Photo tray = color issues (pink photos)

Hi,
I have a 7260 and it's working fine, as long as you don't use the photo tray.
Today I tried to print a couple of photos on advanced hp photo paper.
No problems at all, except that the picture is completely... pink.
So I tried to mangle with the color settings (in windows) and eventually ended up with 6 pink pictures.
Since I thought this was a settings error, I tried printing straight from the SD memory card.
I figured that if there was no computer involved, there wouldn't be any setting issues either.
And thus I ended up with 7 pink pictures.
I finally decided this would probably be an ink issue, but to make sure I tried to print the same photo on a regular A4 sheet.
And... no color issues there! Printing on regular A4 sheets works just fine!
Any idea how I could make the printer print the right colors on the right paper?

I suggest opening the Print & Scan System Preferences, then highlight your HP Photosmart printer in the printers list and delete it by pressing the minus sign. Now, re-add the printer by clicking on the plus sign and select the printer. Make sure that the 'Print Using:' pull down aut selects the correct driver for your printer. If it doesn't, pull down the list and manually select the correct driver using the 'Select Printer Software' option. Hopefully that will resolve your issue.

Color issues

Hi, I recently installed Creative Suite Web Premium, and have
weird color issues. If I open a jpeg in fireworks it looks correct,
but if I open it PhotoShop CS3 or Windows Photo Gallery the colors
look REALLY bright, not even close.
Any Ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks

In Photoshop, try turning off View > Proof Colors.
If that doesn't work, try Edit > Assign Profile and choose
"Don't Color Manage This Document."
If that doesn't work, try Edit > Color Settings and set
the "Settings" to "Monitor RGB."

Illustrator CS6 color issues when saving JPG

I have recently gotten rid of the Pantone+ color books and replaced them with the old color books, using the "Workaround 1: Replace Pantone Plus with older Pantone color books" help from Adobe. Followed all of the instrauctions and had no issues until two weeks ago. Then suddenly when saving PDFs I had to start changing the output Color Conversion to ' convert to destination'. I never had to take this extra step before. Now if I do not do this it saves some colors as black. Whatever, I got over that and take the extra step.
TODAY, now I can't even save JPGs without color issues. Some JPGs save correctly. Then I use the same color in a different file, and it saves completely different. Same color profiles, swatch options, blah blah blah.
Someone help me. I am extremely fed up with these issues. Like everyone else, this is my job and now it is making a huge impact on my work...

What program are you using to view the PDFs?

Bizzare Color Issue With JPEGs In RGB

Recently when I've imported any jpegs from either the web or from my Thinkstock account I get strange color issues when it opens the image. Mostly the distortion happens in the whites. By default it opens in RGB mode (figure 1) and the issue goes away if I convert to CMYK mode (figure 2) but the image needs to be in RGB for me to use in an After Effects comp. Is there some step I'm missing in my color management? Thanks!

Make sure you install the 10.9.1 update.
Another test you can do is disable GPU drawing in Photoshop's preferences, then relaunch Photoshop.
If the problem goes away, then it was caused by the video card driver (or, possibly by a defect in the GPU, but those aren't as common).

Color issues in Safari

Hello, I've just uploaded my first Muse site: www.michaelphipps.net
It worked well and looks perfect in Firefox on my computer (I haven't checked IE yet). In Safari, some of the rollover images are showing as a different color than the background. See the windows with the flags that say "Gallery", etc. You'll notice a small rectangle box around them where the orange (or green on other pages) is darker than the background. I looked on another computer with an older version of Safari and the problem is not there.
I did some research and discovered that Safari pays attention to color profiles, but other browsers do not. I checked my background images and compared them to my rollover images. Different profiles? Yes! So I fixed that and the problem remained. I've been trying test after test for hours and discovered something strange. I saved the background image and placed it in the site with Muse. I cropped that same image in Photoshop and placed it on the other image in Muse. A quick check in Safari shows that the color issue is resolved- the two images are the same color. I cropped the image even smaller and the same test yielded good results- the colors of the two images are the same. I cropped it again to 221 by 61 pixels and tried it again. The problem is back! According to my tests, the only difference is the size of the image. So either Photoshop is saving the smaller image differently, or Muse is rendering it differently. Why? And how would I stop it?
Thanks for your help!

Just a thought - Musing [pardon pun]
What file format are you using? ,jpg? .psd? .png?
Is Bridge in the workflow? Is Camera Raw in the workflow? Is Save For Web in the workflow? Is Lightroom in the workflow. << any of them have the posibility of being the cause of your color mismatching issue.
I use Lighroom a LOT, Thus I send photos from there to Photoshop and back. So - I have the color profile in PS set to ProPhotoRGB most of the time.
Even though I have the 'always ask' about profile mismatches enabled I still have occasional issues with photos leaving PS with strange colors - usually because I'm impatient and not paying attention.
My suggestion [what I would try] >>
Be sure the PS used profile is set to RGB:
Then I would open ALL my images in PS and Convert them all to RGB

Strange Color issue for my display (blue - purple tint)

hi guys,
I have a white macbook.
Recently, I realize some color issue on displaying blue.
check this picture below (I uploaded to my flickr)
and when it occurs I can only restart my computer, sometimes it changes back to normal...
or I can just use an external screen to ignore this problem (which I am doing it now)
anyone have any ideas?

I fixed it by going back into each diffuse texture and choosing "Edit UV Properties" and hitting OK - this seem to reset and re-render each texture.
Seems like a bug unless you can't use Image Size on documents that contain 3D layers maybe?
