Pantone color changing from Ai CS5 to CC?

I opened up a file originally made in CS5. When I copied it over to a new document, now using CC - the pantone color switched. I'm in CMYK mode and the swatch still displays as Pantone 560 U in the swatch menu. Any ideas as to what is going on?

Rex,
There have been changes in CMYK representations of Pantone colours.
This has caused some inconvenience or worse, especially when working with different versions, or files from other versions.
Apart from that, possible differences in Color Management/Settings may cause differences.

  • Background color changed from white to yellow and =25% changed to %% on email

    I type =25% on my email and sent out, background color changed from white to yellow and =25% changed to %%.

    Try leaving a space after the =
    Thus: = 25%
    Where and when did it change? Did it change inside Thunderbird? Did it change in the Sent folder? Or in a reply to you?
    = and % are used in certain types of email encoding; =20% often appears, meaning character 0x20 which is 32 denary or the space character. It is often used where an explicit space would be illegal, and this is common in URLs and other links. I'm thinking that =25% similarly has a special meaning. It ''shouldn't'' get decoded, but software is buggy.
    I can't reproduce it here, which is why I'm asking about how and when it changes. Where does the Microsoft software come into it?

  • Yosemite load bar color changes / from black to white

    Hello there,
    is anyone experiencing the same as me?
    When booting my MacBook Pro Retina Mid 2012 the load bar color changes from black to white. The color change happens as the keyboard background lights turn on. After this I get to the login screen with the blurred desktop background image (seems normal)
    Video: https://vid.me/hOX
    (sorry for the vertical video)
    I know that the load bar is a feature of Yosemite, but not with the color changes.
    I did a clean install of OS X Yosemite with the AppStore download and the Diskmaker X Tool.
    Thanks for answers...

    No
    With a very advanced photo editor like PhotoShop and lots of skill you could do that
    It is certainly not a simple operation if it is just a B&W image with no color information

  • Color Balance Adj Layer Characteristics Changed from CS4- CS5?

    Maybe some guru with better connections to Adobe knows the answer to this. (or maybe I just forgot).
    I just discovered (and I don't think it is pilot error) that the characteristic behavior of the Color Balance Adjustment Layer is different in CS5 than it was in CS4/CS3.  (Much stronger in CS4/CS3).
    In addition, there is also an associated behavior that is like a buried legacy mode that is not made visible to the user.  Here is what I mean.
    If I create an image in CS4  with a single Color Balance Adj Layer, I get an adjusted image.
    If I open that same PSD file in CS5, the same image is displayed.
    If I use the same base image, yet create the Color Balance Adj Layer from within CS5, the adjusted image is different than the prior two.   So the Color Adjustment Layer acts like it has a hidden legacy mode where the characteristics are one type if created in CS4/CS3 yet a different characteristic if created in CS5.
    My mind might be slipping (or my cold has the better of me) because I do not remember this as a documented change and I searched the internet for "What's new in CS5" etc etc.  I don't remember anything on other forums about this either.
    I guess the good news is, the new characteristic of the Color Balance Adjustment Layer is better behaved with a transfer curve with less clipping for highlights and shadows.  Very similar to the better behavior of the change of the Brightness/Contrast Adjustment Layer going from CS2 to CS3.
    Here are some comparison images.
    This is the Layer Stack Used with Base Image of simple B to W gradient with CB Layer on top with just the highlights pegged to red.  This is the exact same Layer Stack for all of the images shown:
    Here is the first image.  This was created in PS CS4 and displayed from CS4 with the conditions show above:
    This is the same image from above that was saved as PSD with profile and them imported to PS CS5 with same profile.  There was no change:
    This next image is using the same base gradient, yet then creating the CB Layer from within PS CS5 with the same parameters, only the Red pegged for the Highlights:
    Does someone have an easy answer for this.  Can someone duplicate this and confirm the change from CS4 to CS5.  A test by someone else would either confirm I am off base with pilot error or there is something to this.
    And yes, all the images were sRGB and kept in sRGB for creation/display.  All Screenshot images were the images brought up side by side on the same color managed monitor.   All Edit > Color Settings were identical.
    Thanks in advance for any help

    OK, Chris, but before I perform my act of self flaggelation for the benefit for all and my extra embarrassment, let me add in some useful information about the Color Balance Adj Layer that could be helpful.
    I was working with another individual who wanted a better understanding the color balance adj layer, what is was exactly doing, how the shadows, midtones, and highlights interacted, and the differences with preserve luminosity checked or not, and also why the preserve luminosity was so hard to predict (e.g. did not really preserve luminoisty).
    Without going into the deails of all of that, the tidbit I will leave as far as penance for my stupid original post above is that the Color Balance Adj Layer with the Preserve Luminosity box checked does a reasonable job or preserving luminoisty for the midtone adjustments yet definitely does not for the shadow and highlight adjustments.
    An easy workaround for this is to just set the Color Balance Adj Layer Blend to Color which preserves Luminosity of the image presented from lower layers while maintaining the Color as best it can from using the CB Adj Layer  (It holds the Hue and does its best to keep the same Saturation yet the Luminoisty from the presented image from lower layers takes prescendence).  This does a much better job at preserving Luminosity than using the checkbox option.    I usually use this approach and keep the Preserve Luminiosity box turned off.
    The error that I made was during the fairly involved exchange with this other individual, at some point I accidentally set the Layer Mask for the CB Adj Layer to 50% gray and did not notice that it had changed from the default white.  Much further down the line, when this other individual could not exactly recreate my results, he mentioned working in CS3. Thinking this odd,  I pulled up CS3, created the image from scratch (without the erroneous mask change to 50% gray) so therefore I duplicated his results and did not realize the error was in my original Layer Stack.  To make a long story short, I went and checked for differences in all system settings, profiles, Color Settings, opacity settings, Blend settings, Layer Style settings (and their options) etc, etc and overlooked a change in the Mask gray level.        When I quickly flashed back and forth between the two documents/stack it finally popped out at me. Mea Culpa.

  • Pantone color changes modes from Illustrator to InDesign

    I have a logo designed in Illustrator that uses Pantone color 5275 C. When I place it in InDesign, the color is dull and dark. In my Color palette, it says the spot color is based on the LAB mode instead of CMYK. I've never seen that happen before in earlier InDesign versions. How do I get the color mode to match what it is in Illustrator?

    In Illustrator you get the Pantone libraries via Window>Swatch Libraries>Color Books>Pantone + Solid Coated. When you have the library open a selected swatch will show in the Color panel :
    InDesign is different. You get a Pantone color via Swatches>New Color Swatch>Pantone + Solid Coated>choose a desired color swatch

  • Pantone Color Changes

    I have a series of Illustrator documents created over 2 - 3 years. They are artwork for labels of multiple sizes of the same product. It is important that the colour is consistent. In the period concerned I will have used CS5, CS5.5 and CS6.
    I have just added to the range and the client came back to me saying that the "blue has changed”. Sure enough it has. When I compare, Pantone 652 on one it is darker than Pantone 652 on a newer one. Apparently it prints differently as well. When I copy and paste blue items from one document to another (either way) they change colour. In other words PMS 652 is not consistent from one document to another.
    When I check the CMYK numbers on the two documents they are very different: 50/25/0/10 and 47/24/7/0.
    I have read that Pantone wished to 'improve' some things, and I know I can change the colour book in CS6, or just work some projects in older Illustrator versions. But they all seem to me to be cumbersome work arounds. Surely Pantone 652 should always be Pantone 652.
    What am I missing?

    Dear Monika:
    I wanted to clarify part of the issue here.
    PANTONE 652 is a color that was added to the PANTONE MATCHING SYSTEM back in 1991, one of a palette of 'light, dirty shades' that was introduced at that time.  As a solid ink, the color and formulation have not changed at all since the color was introduced.
    What has changed over the years are the paper stock on which the colors are printed, as well as the CMYK simulation data contained first in the PANTONE solid to process guide, and later in PANTONE Color Bridge. 
    The current version of PANTONE COLOR BRIDGE, launched in May 2010 as part of the PANTONE PLUS SERIES, was re-engineered with a globally-compatible, G7-based workflow to produce a single version applicable worldwide, in replacement of the previous North American and European versions with separate workflow and CMYK values.  This in part explains the change in CMYK data.  However, in most cases, confusion about CMYK values occurs because users typically access the colors from the PANTONE solid color libraries, and 'convert' to CMYK which provides conversion data which vary from the explicit data contained within the PANTONE COLOR BRIDGE libraries.  It should be noted that the PANTONE PLUS SERIES products include a license for PANTONE Color Manager, allowing users to update the digital PANTONE libraries within their Adobe applications with libraries consistent with the PANTONE PLUS SERIES products.

  • Why does a placed .eps file with a Pantone color change the color mode to CMYK?

    I am working on a 2-color newsletter in Indesign CS5... black and Pantone 227U.
    Whenever I place a duotone .eps (black + 227U) or an Illustrator vector .eps with 227U in it, the color mode for that swatch changes to CMYK. An Illustrator vector which is 100% 227U also gives me the same issue.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Thanks Rob!
    I also unchecked “All spots to process” and the spot color appeared in the Separations Preview.

  • Color change from PS to LR

    Sorry if thias has been posted somewhere else before.
    I'm making a new logo to use in my  web-galleries, generated in the WEB-module in LR.
    In Photoshop I  ensure  the background color is #141414 - but when I open the logo in LR 2 (or # for that matter) the background-color reads #191919. The same thing happens when I import the logo through the library-module - the background-colour changes. The logo is made as a RGB PSD-file in the ProPhoto color-space.
    How do I avoid this change?
    And - if this applies to all my PSD-files imported back to LR there's no point in colormanagement at all!?!
    Any help og hints would be so great, as this is driving me nuts.
    -s.

    Unfortunately Jao, yours wasn't.
    I'm sorry because of that. Perhaps you should first read up on color spaces. This is a good article. The thing to know is that the numbers you read of the display in Lightroom are not 8-bit numbers in prophotoRGB, but are percentages in a related space which has prophotoRGB primaries and a sRGB tone curve. The working space in Lightroom is linear prophotoRGB. So if you have a color of 14,14,14 in Photoshop (I am assuming those are normal arab numbers in an 8-bit display) in prophotoRGB, the corresponding number in Lightroom would be 6.4% for all three. If your numbers where hexadecimal, the display in Lightroom would show 10%.
    Rereading your post, my guess is that you are talking about something else where the actual displayed color changes, so that it is visible to your own eyes. On a correctly setup system this should never happen. As troutmask notes, differences between PS and Lightroom are basically always due to a few things. I. Bad monitor profile. Fix this by recalibrating. II. Incorrect setup in Photoshop. It should be setup to always respect embedded color spaces and the working space should NOT be the monitor profile. III. Failure to include an icc profile on save from Photoshop. III is very common. Make sure that when you save, to include the prophotoRGB profile. Otherwise, Lightroom will assume it is an sRGB file.
    Lastly, and I am starting to think that this is your issue, if you are creating a logo for the web, make sure you do it in the sRGB profile (simply do a convert to profile in Photoshop and save it under a different name). On windows almost every web browser (except Safari and the latest Firefox) are not color managed, so they will give weird color if you feed it images in anything else than sRGB. The web module in the windows version of Lightroom uses the IE engine, so you don't get color management in that module. You also don't get color management in flash galleries on any platform.

  • Why do pantone colors change in photoshop

    my question is, why do the pms colors change do a different pms color after you choose the one you want in photoshop.
    for example when i pick the pms color: 138C, then use the eye dropper tool to see what color it is, it switches to 7413C.
    287C switches to 653C.
    it really causes confusion.
    how am i supposed to know that the color i pick is really the color its going to print?

    Welcome to the forum.
    Unfortunately, it is not the one that you need. The Photoshop fora are HERE. Just choose the version/platform that you need and ask again. You will get help.
    Good luck,

  • Color changes from FCP to Quicktime to Youtube

    I'm editing on FCP7 and I add color correction but then the color changes once I export to quicktime conversion. And then it changes again when I upload it to youtube.
    I'm editing on Apple ProRes 422 1920 x 1080. I export with quicktime conversion to h264 same dimensions. Please help me out thanks!

    The color will change. This is due to many factors, like the Canvas in FCP not being color accurate, so it won't match a QT file that you export if you do it with the same settings as the sequence. But it REALLY won't match if you compress it in any way, as compression means information is removed to make the file smaller.  Color information.
    Here...look at my second to last post on this thread for a reason for all of this:

  • Foreground color change from inside a class

    Hey,
    For a project I'm working on, I wrote a class that extends awt.Label. In this new class, I had to override the paramString() method to return what I wanted it to. This all works great. What I was wondering, is whether or not it was possible to change the foreGround color of the label from inside the class decleration. I was thinking maybe whenever the paramString() method was called. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Jarrod

    Gday,
    I you use the mothed setForeground(Color c) it should set the foreground colour (color for you Americans) to what you would like.
    see for more info
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/java/awt/Component.html#setForeground(java.awt.Color)
    or
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/java/awt/Component.html#setForeground(java.awt.Color)
    if you have jdk1.4
    You dont need to make this method in your class just call it when you want. ie
    setForground(Color.RED);
    or
    Color c = new Color(255, 0, 0);
    setForeground(c);

  • How do I make a global color change in Flash CS5?

    I am a rank Flash newbie, so maybe I'm missing something obvious. In InDesign or Illustrator, if I want to change every red object to blue, I can go into the color list, edit the red color to the blue values, and every instance of red in the document reflects the edit. I don't have to select each red element and pick the new blue for stroke and/or fill. I can't find how to do that in Flash, yet it's hard for me to believe that that capability is lacking. Help please!

    i don't think there is such a setting in flash.

  • Color change from Photoshop to Keynote

    I have corrected the color of some images in Photoshop CS2 using a color calibrated monitor, converted the images to JPEG and imported them into Keynote. It was disappoining and unexpected to see a significant shift in color with a greenish-yellow tint and incresed saturation. Why is this happening? How can I correct or prevent it from happening?

    What version of Keynote are you using? Version 2 had some known color issues.

  • Colors change from Photoshop to DVD SP

    So I've been having this problem for a while now.
    My problem is that when I make a layered menu in photoshop and import the PSD into DVD SP the color of the picture is different. It seems to crush blacks and turn more magenta. I've found out that it only does this to PSD files and not JPEG's. I've tried using both maximizing compatibility checked and off .
    Proof colors is off and I'm working in RGB 8-bit. I've looked around but can't find any solution to this.
    Here is a screen shot:

    don't use the NTSC profile, DVDSP must use the generic profile so Photoshop needs to use that also.
    Okie dokie. But that apparently didn't help:
    Thanks for advice. I changed the color profile. But the images still look different. Here is another
    screen shot after the LCD change. It still seems to be a little magenta and is definitely crushing the
    blacks. Is this expected when using PSDs in DVDSP?
    Changing the color profile of the display does nothing to alter the color space of the source material unless you know how to do that, too; just changes how your display displays the material. Time to evaluate your video using a scope.
