No Color Values in Histogram

Color Values (RGB%) are not shown anymore in the histogram of the adjustments tab. (These always used to appear when the mouse moves over the image.) In the Adjustments popup menu (the gear icon) 'RGB (%)' is checked. Color Values have always shown, but since shortly they disappeared; only ISO, f-number, shutterspeed and focal length are shown.
How can I get back the color values?
Koen

It is still there:
In the adjustments tab, click the drop-down gear, go to color value, and "show color values."
Hope this helps!

Missing color values info

Perhaps there's something obvious I'm overlooking, but the color values display seems to be gone in LR2 -- I can't get any kind of RGB reading (i.e., R 35%, G 76%, B, 12%) when I move the mouse over the image. I played around with all the toolbar info settings and just can't find it...it was a very useful feature for me in LR1 and I really need it.

"It's under the histogram." but only when you hover over an image.

How can I get scripting access to color values in the indexed Color Table?

Hey all,
I'm relatively new to Photoshop scripting, but I've just finished a script that helps my fiance with some very tedious tasks related to textile design.
The last issue that I'm having is that the image I start with is indexed and has a very specific Color Table pallete ( 2-12 colors max + black and white, so 14 max total, sometimes as few as 2 ). Part of my script, I create a number of color chips and fill them with black currently... What I'd like is to be able to get a count of the colors in the Color Table and put the actual color values as hex into an 1 dimension array, so that I fill those black chips I've made with the actual colors from the Color Table.
( I don't know if it makes a difference but I'm converting the image to RGB mode at some point in the script, and back to Indexed Exact ).
Can anyone please help me do this? Needs to be compatible with CS5 and CS6 ideally.
Thanks!!

Cheers for that, your code works but what had thrown me was that the collections appear to be empty - so I hadn't actually tried retrieving one, I just assumed I was looking in the wrong place.
So if I do this in my Immediate window:
App.Current.Resources.Count
0
Yet when I request it, I get one:
App.Current.Resources["TitleTextStyle"]
{Windows.UI.Xaml.Style}
     base {Windows.UI.Xaml.DependencyObject}: {Windows.UI.Xaml.Style}
     BasedOn: {Windows.UI.Xaml.Style}
     IsSealed: false
     Setters: {Windows.UI.Xaml.SetterBaseCollection}
     TargetType: {Name = "TextBlock" FullName = "Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.TextBlock"}
Looking at the resources object itself, I get similar apparently empty collections:
App.Current.Resources
{Windows.UI.Xaml.ResourceDictionary}
     base {Windows.UI.Xaml.DependencyObject}: {Windows.UI.Xaml.ResourceDictionary}
     Count: 0
     IsReadOnly: false
     Keys: Count = 0
     MergedDictionaries: {Windows.UI.Xaml.DependencyObject}
     Source: null
     ThemeDictionaries: {Windows.UI.Xaml.ResourceDictionary}
     Values: Count = 0

Placing images in Illustrator changes their color values-Why?

I've been placing photoshop tiff files into Illustrator, and doing this seems to change the color values, when I sample them with the eyedropper tool. The images I made use a custom mix of CMYK rich black, with the K set to 100. In Illustrator, they appear to revert to the default 'Photoshop black", approx C75 M68 Y67 K90. This is not my intent of C70 M60 Y58 K100. The Illustrator document is CMYK mode, and I don't know why this is happening. The non-image items (vectors) in my illustrator file DO retain the color values I intended, however.
Is this some kind of setting I can change in Illustrator? Will this discrepancy show up when this file goes to print? Please help! Thanks.

WHen the image is not embedded, Illustrator samples the representation values. Those are handled by color management.

Preserving Black color values when converting color PDF to grayscale

I opened a full colored PDF document (exported from InDesign using Profile: Euroscale Coated v2) in Photoshop and tried to convert it to grayscale (image > mode > grayscale) and noticed that the black color values changed. text for example that was 100% black in the PDF document became a screen of 91% black.
is there a way to preserve color values when converting full color PDF documents to grayscale?
or in other words WHICH is the correct way to convert full color PDF documents or full color InDesign files to grayscale?
I am using Adobe CS 3, Acrobat 8 Professional, on Mac OS 10.5.5

Before you open the PDF in Photoshop, set PS's Color Settings to Photoshop 5 Default Spaces. When you open the PDF set the Mode to Grayscale in the Import dialog. Just remember to reset your color settings when you're done.
Edit: Also, if you want to match black percentages as well as 100% black, set the Photoshop Color Settings to Photoshop 5 Default Spaces with the Gray working space to Dot Gain 20%.

How do I input a specific color value for a shape?

I've been trying to figure out why I cannot input a specific color that I want for a shape. I'm not just choosing a color that looks nice, I'm trying to match it to a solid color in the next clip. Ive tried to use the eye dropper to get the color from the next clip but I cannot copy anything outside of the color pallete provided. I know the value of the color (from 0-255 it's R:191, G:211, B:217) but all FCPX has is 0 - 1, which is some other kind of color value system I've never seen before. Does anyone know how I can put that specific color value into the shape generator?

Click the color swatch to open the Apple color picker. This is common to all Mac apps.
Click the second tab for color sliders. Change the popup to RGB.

How to I copy and paste the color valueson Kuler to a word document. I know it can be done but how? Help

Hello LRamacciotti,
To get the color values, in the theme detail view available next to the theme on selecting it, there is a button to view color values just above the More info/next info text. This will take you to the creation page where the color values are given towards the bottom in various color models. If you use a lot of hexvalues, we would recommend using kuler desktop which has a button to copy all hexvalues to the clipboard. You can download kuler desktop here. (It requires Adobe AIR)

Color values shift from Illustrator to Photoshop

Hi there:
Hopefully someone has an answer for me (my apologies if this has been addressed before)?
When I open up a EPS file in Illustrator CS5, the blacks read !00% for RGB. When exported as a JPG, Photoshop CS5 reads it as 0-0-0. So far so good. But when copy and paste the same EPS into a Photoshop files, as a smart object, the values change to 4-7-7. I've tried that with other colors, and it seems the color values shift when using as a smart object. Any ideas on why and how to remedy this?
I will also post in the Photoshop forum as well...
Thanks,
Lisa

So I also had someone else reply in the Photoshop forum about this. Apparently, I need to be using the Adobe RGB (1998) color space on both applications in order for the numbers to reflect the correct color values.
Not sure why it wouldn't do so in other color spaces (I had mine initially set to sRGB on both apps), and I'll need to see if this runs into any issues on our end.
If you have any more insight, I would love to hear it. But thanks for your help!

Loupe not displaying color values Aperture 3.4

I've been having issues with the color value feature of the loupe disappearing although 'display color values' is checked. It will stop working after I've been using it for a few hours without incident. Sometimes fix itself if I quit Aperture, most of the time this doesn't work. All of the loupe's other functions seem to work normally, even as the color data is not displaying. I have the issue while tethering and while editing/reviewing. I use the color value feature often, so it's pretty obnoxious.
Camera is compatable, and all my software is up-to-date.
Thanks for your help!

What is your MacOS X version? Your profile signature (PowerBook, Mac OS X (10.4.11)) cannot be right, if you are using Aperture 3.4.
Testing with Aperture 3.4.3 on MacOS X the color values will vanish, when I do not use the "Use Centered Loupe" option. With the "Centered Loupe" the values will always be shown. How is your Loupe set?

Please, can I with help of Javascript change spot color values? for example by my color VARNISH with c:0,m:10,y:15,k:0 to make change to c:0,m:0,y:0,k:0? thank you

Please, can I with help of Javascript change specific spot color values? for example, I have color named VARNISH with values c:0,m:10,y:15,k:0 and it would help me to make change to c:0,m:0,y:0,k:0 as a part of an action. Is it possible? Thank you

Hi Kon Verter,
you can change the values of your spot swatch, but you have to check many things before.
e.g. you can do something like this:
var Vcolor = app.activeDocument.swatches.getByName("Varnish");
if (Vcolor.color.spot.colorType == ColorModel.SPOT && Vcolor.color.spot.spotKind == SpotColorKind.SPOTCMYK) {
    alert("Black value before: "+Vcolor.color.spot.color.black);
    Vcolor.color.spot.color.black= 0; // and so on
    alert("Black value after: "+Vcolor.color.spot.color.black);
This will change the black value of the cmyk spot color with name Varnish to 0
Have fun

Consistent RGB Color Values with Photoshop CS4: An Impossibility??

What I want is very simple: I want the Photoshop files I am working on and the rendered PNGs in my browser to have the same color values. I don't care if my web images look the same color on other screens or anything like that. All I want is for the screenshots of PNGs my web browser to match the color values I have used in Photoshop. I've had it up to here with color shiftsthis did not used to be an issue in CS3.
Moreover, if I save a file on my Mac, and a color value is, say, #cf4640, I want someone who opens the file on a Windows box to get the same color value for that pixel. Ditto for the images I have saved for the webI want the RGB values to be consistent. This does not seem like too much to ask, does it?
Right now, I have turned all color management policies set to Off, working spaces are all set to Generics, and documents are set to "Don't Color Manage"my Windows colleagues also have these same settings. This used to work as expected in CS3we all got the same color values on the same files, and colors didn't shift when viewed in a browser.
Once again, I don't care if the colors *look* the same from platform to platform or screen to screen. I just want consistent RGB values.
Color management has never caused me anything but headachesleave my colors alone, Photoshop! I really really wish there was a "Work Like Photoshop 4" setting for color management.
Does anyone have any ideas how I might solve my problems?
Thanks very much.
Oh, and, incidentally, I was originally thinking of calling Adobe about this; how foolish of me. I looked into it, and can I just say how fantastic it is that you have to pay extra money for actual first-party tech support on a $700 piece of software?

The sounds/language analogy isn't really relevant to this problem, because it suggests transforming between two entirely different media. One medium: the medium of sound information, to another entirely different medium: the medium of thoughts and meanings. That's something that simply can't be done without an intermediate translation. That's not the case with color transforms in the RGB space, where it's just a matter of taking RGB values and pushing them through a matrix to produce other RGB values. That's the process that messes everyone up and creates all the confusing color output, and frankly it's an unnecessary process. Your assertion that the values in a source image have no meaning without an associated profile isn't entirely true. What if those source values were simply pushed directly though to the display? After all, a display simply renders 8 bits of R, 8 bits of G, and 8 bits of B for each pixel.
I think the original poster has some very valid concerns. Sometimes we just want to set some color values, and know that everybody's display, on every platform, will render those color values the same way. As he said, they may not look identical to the eye, but the values going through that DVI cable will be setting that pixel to the same 24-bit value no matter what. That's how things would be if there were no such thing as color management. That's how things used to be long ago, and in many ways the world of color was far more predictable and less confusing back then.
Here's my vision for a perfect world: color management doesn't exist in the RGB space. None. No such thing. Source RGB values in images get pushed right through to the display. The onus is on the display manufacturers to produce hardware that renders those values as consistently as possible. In the world of print, sure- color management is incredibly useful. But if only we could go back in time and keep color profiles out of our RGB, I believe we'd be much better off today.

Spot colors Black, All have the same alternate color values

If printer’s mark [Crop, Registration, Page] is enable in the InDesign preset options, we are getting “Spot colors Black, All have the same alternate color values” error in the PITSTOP log report.

Rob, here's screenshot of Acrobats Output Preview Object Inspector. You can download my PDF here - //www.fileswap.com/dl/Q1CzzOzEqt/
I'm not sure if CM was assigned to document when created or afterwards. In Color Settings preferences is stated Fogra 39 (if it matters - document was meanwhile saved and opened...). Are there other options to assign workspace to exsisting document?
Peter, this is not the case. Placed image has embeded same color profile as is working space of document in ID. I tried the same with sRGB image placed in same ID document and compared it to PS but color shift (greenish) is present - it looks exactly the same.
Guys, I can't tell you how happy I am to have you help me with this terrible and nerve-wracking problem.

Can't get color value from DeviceN colorspace

Hi.
I use this code:
if (colorSpec.value.colorObj2)
colorValue = (PDEDeviceNColors)colorSpec.value.colorObj2;
inVals[0] = ( float )ASFixedTruncToInt32(PDEDeviceNColorsGetColorValue(colorValue, 0));
When colorspace's stream is {0 0} everything is ok.
But then I use colorspace with complex stream:
{ dup 1 mul 2 index 0 mul 2 copy lt { exch } if pop 3 index 0 mul 2 copy lt { exch } if pop 4 index 0 mul 2 copy lt { exch } if pop 5 1 roll dup 0 mul 2 index 1 mul 2 copy lt { exch } if pop 3 index 0 mul 2 copy lt { exch } if pop 4 index 0 mul 2 copy lt { exch } if pop 6 1 roll dup 0 mul 2 index 0 mul 2 copy lt { exch } if pop 3 index 1 mul 2 copy lt { exch } if pop 4 index 0 mul 2 copy lt { exch } if pop 7 1 roll dup 0 mul 2 index 0 mul 2 copy lt { exch } if pop 3 index 0 mul 2 copy lt { exch } if pop 4 index 1 mul 2 copy lt { exch } if pop 8 1 roll pop pop pop pop }
In Acrobat 10.0 code still work good. But in Acrobat 11.0 I have Access Violation exception when i try to get color value.
Please tell me in what could be the reason.

It could be a bug, but you'd need to open an official tech support case with developer support.

Color spaces are a little complicated.
Best practice is to pick one and use it for every application.
Adobe (1998) has been regarded as a great standard for years.
If you are using s-RGB you and going into CMYK, you will probably always get color shift.
Bruce Fraser used to refer to s-RGB as "Satan RGB."
It has a very small color gamut and almost everyone has it by default because it is the Windows standard and unless the system was calibrated and planned, s-RGB will be everywhere (as intended).
Unfortunate that printing uses CMYK and the web uses the RGB.
Newer printing technology can use RGB but the s-RGB will limit your color spectrum.
Also you can set the conversion settings to preserve either the numerical values or perceptual intent...or turn them off in your preference panel.
If your final work product is in RGB (anything viewed on a monitor), I suggest that you work in RGB and not CMYK and use the Adobe 1998 standard on every machine and every program. (You can set your info palette to see both sets of numbers)
Everyone has their own opinion, the key is to be consistent.
And dont let all the tech-speak freak you... there is lots of information out there but you are in charge how you use it.
