Pantone 2196 C how to convert to CMYK it is not in CS6

Pantone 2196 C is one of the 336 new Pantone solid colours that were introduced in 2012.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/5361284
The Lab values for  this colour are 39 -18 -52. If you're using the appropriate CMYK profile for your printing conditions, you could make a new Process Colour swatch using those Lab values, and it will automatically convert to CMYK.

  • Can't convert from CMYK to RGB in Illustrator CS6

    I'm moving art over to a new document. It was created in CMYK. The new document has a color mode of Basic RGB. After pasting the art I select it all, and choose Edit | Edit Colors | Convert to RGB. After saving and re-opening the document, the art once again has CMYK attributes, not RGB. What am I doing wrong?

    That might be it, Jacob.
    It's when, for instance, I have the Appearance window open and shift-click on the stroke or fill to see the color attibutes (rather than simply looking at the swatches). It kept showing up in CMYK.
    But making that change in the flyout seems to have it showing properly.
    Thanks!

  • How to convert from NEF to JPG not dng Lr 3.3

    Using Lr 3.3 for the first time. It downloaded my picture files as nef fine but then it wants to convert to dng? It does not give me the option to save as jpg? Some files I want as jpg... Can you tell me what needs to be done to acheive this.
    Thanks,

    You first have to import the raw files into LR then you can make adjustments in the Quick Develop tab in the Library Module or in the Develop Module.
    You can then use the export function from the file menu to create your image file, tiff, psd or jpeg. The option in the import function to convert the raw file to DNG (raw format) does not create an image file it is still the raw data.

  • How to convert PMS colors to CMYK?

    I am not an Illustrator user but need to know how to change PMS colors to CMYK colors in an AI file.  It would also be helpful to know how to change the colors as well as how to convert them.  Thanks in advance.

    Thanks Scott.  I actually figured that out just after posting.  I am a Photoshop
    and Lightroom user who has never opened AI before today.  I just needed to
    modify an AI file that a designer created for me.  My apologies for the dumb
    question.

  • How to convert sRGB images to CMYK retaining icc profiles?

    I was given the follwoing info. but not sure it answers fully - it still doesn't resolve the problem of converting to CMYK with the icc profile. I think this might be an option if the profile is loaded into the colour setting (colour settings under edit menu as oposed to convert to profile and its convert to profile I have been trying to action. Am I missing something straightforward?
    thanks!
    you can do batch process in Photoshop
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshop/cs/using/WSfd1234e1c4b69f30ea53e41001031ab64-7427a.h tml
    -There is a fast and easy method to batch convert many RGB photographs to CMYK files by using Photoshop
    -Please open an image, then open the Action Tab (Window > Actions)
    -Please click 'Create new action' button, name the action in the text field and click the 'Record' button.
    -Now it is recording, so select 'Image > Mode > CMYK Color', then hit the 'Stop' button in the Action Tab.
    -The action is now created ready for the next step.
    -To batch convert a folder of images, just select 'File > Automate > Batch' and the following window opens.
    -Choose the 'Convert RGB to CMYK' action from the drop-down list, choose the source folder where your images are stored, then choose a destination folder where Photoshop will save the converted images.
    -Click the 'OK' button and the batch process will start. How fast will depend on the number of images that need converting.
    -The action you created will be stored, so you only need to perform a new batch process the next time you need to convert a batch of images.

    I think we may need a little more information to fully address your question or issue.  sRGB and CMYK are two very different color spaces, and converting from one to the other requires significant shifts in color.  Are you refering to a specific input or output icc profile?

  • How do I keep Grayscale images from converting to CMYK

    I created my file in Framemaker 7.2 and imported Black and White grayscale images, when I wrote the postscript to create a PDF everything was fine until I did the preflight only to learn that my images have converted to CMYK...These graphics need to print grayscale not CMYK. I am working from the PC and this is a very large document.

    What format were the images in?
    Unless they were EPS or PDF formats, then FM7.2 would have converted
    everything to RGB on output, not CMYK.
    To get true postscript greys from equal RGB values, you must
    configure your PDF printer instance to output postscript grey.
    In the Printer control panel, select the Adobe PDF, then right-click
    and select Properties.
    Then on the Device Settings tab, set the following:
    Convert Gray Text to PostScript Gray: YES
    Convert Gray Graphics to PostScript Gray: YES
    Click OK to set.

  • How do I remove cmyk profiles from a pdf. and keep it strictly 2 color process?

    My company is trying to outsource a booklet to an offset printing company. We are strictly digital printing, and I honestly have no experience with offset. In the past I would build the documents with the pantone colors that were needed in whatever software I was using to create it (Illustrator, Indesign), do my checks and fixes in Acrobat and send it to the printer, and it would get done. The current printer is having an issue with the files that I'm giving him. He says, that the files contain CMYK profiles, and has to strictly be 2 color process. The file is pointing to the correct spot colors, but it does still does contain the CMYK profiles, list I have no idea how to remove the CMYK profiles, I can convert them to RGB, but that doesnt help. How do I remove these profiles and make the PDF strictly use spot colors, or does this not make any sense, Honestly it doesn't to me.

    Honestly it does not to me either.
    You have a history of creating spot color files - but are using a new vendor...what I'm hearing from the vendor doesn't make sense
    ...do my checks and fixes in Acrobat and send it to the printer, ...
    Have you checked the PDF - verified that your Spot colors are Spots, not cmyk builds?
    The current printer is having an issue with the files that I'm giving him. He says, that the files contain CMYK profiles, and has to strictly be 2 color process.
    Communicate very clearly  - cmyk profiles or cmyk elements?
    To my limited knowledge, every file will have a profile - it's a moot element in spot color printing -

  • How to export a CMYK document to a black/white or greyscale pdf for print?

    Hello, I have some knowledge in graphics design, but very little about color management.
    Currently I need to convert an instruction manual I made to black and white output only. We'd prefer to keep the indesign (.indd) and it's source images in their respective colors, but when exporting the document to a pdf my printer can use, we'd like to make that document a black and white pdf, as it's a black/white manual anyway. A little color conversion isn't to bad, as long as it's reasonable. all images that might give trouble are in greyscale anyway.
    So how do I export a full color indesign document to a black&white/greyscale pdf?
    ps:
    very newb question, but if you don't ask, you never learn:
    When do you use the colours "registration", and when do you use "paper"?

    I am also trying desperately to convert my CMYK colors into a grayscale so that when I print the document the printer only uses K (and C=0 M=0 Y=0)
    And I saw this bit of info you wrote a few months ago. I am working working with photoshop CS4. I tried to follow it but I found the following difficulties. Hope you don't mind me writing over your text.
    RGB image --> Grayscale
    New doc --> CMYK image,same size, empty
    Copy Grayscale and paste into the K-channel of the CMYK image. - (It only allows me to copy onto the CMYK layer but not onto the Black so I had to Drag layer onto channel delete the black layer and rename my new layer as black but then the document changes from CMYK to Multichannel and I have to re-change the mode again to CMYK but this already prints CMYK...)
    Place image in InDesign doc.
    Everything else (vector, text) by K-only.
    (...then when I placet that CMYK file into InDesign, and PDF it, on the output preview still separates the grayscale image into CMYK and when I print, the printer still prints CMYK instead of only K)
    So then I say OK so.. let's use the Multichannel document instead, which it actually seems to print on K only (while CMY=0), it only allows me to save as PSD. and when I try to place it on Indesign... I have a message saying that this file is using an unsupported colour space, only RGB,CMYK, lab, indexed, and bitmap are supported by the photoshop filter
    On top of that I have been asked for a Jpeg image in black and white which prints only K (while CMY=0). I have tried with channel mixed presets and even though the info on screen is now C=0, M=0, Y=0 and K= various values, when I send it to print. The printer still prints with all the CMYK colours
    Any advice would be so much appreciated!
    Thank you

  • Converting new CMYK logo to RGB for web, poor results

    I have a new logo using 4 cmyk colors. (we print a lot and always print cmyk, not spot/Pantone). When I convert to RGB, especially the blue and somewhat the green-- lose vibrancy. The blue is pure cyan, 100-0-0-0. The left image is a screen grab of cmyk and right is rgb. You often lose vibrancy going from RGB to CMYK, which is not surprising considering the limitations of CMYK. But why an issue going the reverse? Same result in photoshop & illustrator.
    What is the best way to create an RGB version of a CMYK or Pantone logo that is as consistent on the web as possible? This logo needs to be colorful and saturated, so the blue looking dull is more serious. Thanks.

    Use document >> color mode >> RGB. You will then have much more vibrancy when tweaking RGB colors, and be designing in a space that matches your output.
    If you have not color calibrated your monitor do that first. I would also hold up a printed piece to the monitor and match your RGB document to that. That will take away any monitor color shift to press.
    When you are done write down the RGB numbers, not the CMYK numbers, and use the RGB numbers for future RGB doucuments. I got 0, 155, 230 for my monitor calibration North AmericanGP2.

  • After Preflighting a PDF, using Convert to CMYK, Flatten Transparency and Prepress Profile Convert to CMYK only the resultant PDF has a grubby halo along the edge of some white type sitting on an image. The type is part of the image.

    I am using a 27" iMac 3.2 GHz Intel Core 5, 8 GB Memory, running Yosemite 10.10.1. 
    The version of Acrobat that I am using is: Acrobat XI Version 11.0.10
    After Preflighting a PDF, using Convert to CMYK, Flatten Transparency (high resolution) and Prepress Profile "Convert to CMYK only" the resultant PDF has a grubby halo along the edge of some white type sitting on an image. The type is part of the image which is 300 dpi.
    It is like the image isn't really 300 dpi but has been artificially boosted to that to avoid being tagged by Preflighting, but when Preflighting the file it knows the original resolution.
    I have screen grabs which illustrate the problem perfectly but do not know how to post them, if indeed they can be.
    Any help or comments gratefully received.

    Without the files and possibly screen prints, it is virtually impossible to assist you.

  • How to get the "CMYK" Color percentages?

    Could you please advise me how to get the "CMYK" Color percentages of every pixel via scripting.

    You have to be patched to the 10.0.2 version of FM and you must use the CMYK option with SaveAsPDF. If thee colour is defined as Spot in the FM file, it should remain as a spot colour in th PDF. However, that being said, the CMYK route is still a bit wonky (even in FM12) and you may get odd results in your PDF.
    Alternatives are to make the fix in Acrobat with the Print Production tools (or even better to use a third-party tool like Enfocus Pro) or to use GrafikHuset's (now freebie) PubliPDF to convert FM's RGB postscript output to CMYK+Spot PDFs.

  • Edit/Edit Colors/ Convert to CMYK via applecript

    Cant seem to figure this one out.
    In Adobe CC, I am trying to convert every path item of the current document to CMYK using applecript or javascript.
    The equivalent to Edit/Edit Colors/ Convert to CMYK.
    Currently I am using an action but I try to stay away from actions as much as possible.
    Does anyone know how this could be done via applecript, javascript or whatever else?

    Right, I tried this method already but it does not show the dialog box in Adobe Illustrator CC v18. only previous versions.
    Our group all use different versions.  I may just switch to an installer script thats adds the action to Illustrators "Default_Actions.aia"  file since its text based.
    Heres what I'm using now which  is working but I don't like all the hoops it has to jump.
    The action simply writes a new doc to a dummy file on a server & the when script doesn't see then dummy file, it writes, loads the action & deletes the dummy file.
    Then on the next run, the action will write the dummy file for the script to see & skip the loading of a duplicate action. 
    And if I change the action, I simply change the name of the action file & dummy file.
    property ACTSET : "Set 1"
    property actbname : "Action 1" --- writes teh PTDF file, then run rest of action
    property PTDF : POSIX file "/Volumes/artserver/1_ASI/spotcheck.ai" as string
    property the_file : PTDF & ACTSET & ".aia" as string
    property the_file2 : POSIX path of PTDF & ACTSET & ".aia" as string
    property spotcheck : {}
    tell application "Adobe Illustrator"
      set spotcheck to ""
      do javascript "app.doScript ('" & actbname & "', '" & ACTSET & "');"
      try
      tell application "Finder" to set spotcheck to file PTDF as string
      end try
      if spotcheck = {} then
      my addaction() --- saves action text to temporary items for the load
      do javascript "app.loadAction (new File('" & the_file2 & "'));"
      do javascript "app.doScript ('" & actbname & "', '" & ACTSET & "');"
      tell application "Finder" to move file the_file to trash
      end if
