Placed file turns grayscale - need it to be in color - help!

I am faily new/inexperienced with photoshop.  I have created a new file and am trying to place an image that is in color.  When I place it, it turns grayscale.  Can someone please advise me on this?

Make sure that the file that you created ISN"T in grayscale.  Change it's mode to RGB, or what ever you're using, before you place the other file.

  • Created a CYMK vector shape logo in photoshop, now need to change to spot colors HELP!?

    I have created a 3 color logo with vector shapes in photoshop CS6.  The problem is the client wants it to be 3 spot colors rather than CYMK.  Does anyone have a quick and easy way for me to change the individual vector shape layers into various spot colors instead that maintains the vector quality?  I don't want to have to redraw all these shapes.  Help would be VERY appreciated with this.

    Your client is speaking in the language of Illustrator, in which spot colors represent specific, sometimes specialist colours.  I can think of no reason why you can't use Photoshop, but ask the client if they want to provide you with values for the spot colours?   If I understand it correctly, the printer will interpret each of the three spot colours you use, to represent the specific inks/colours the client needs.

    You encounter it sometimes when printing catalogs which contain sponsor logos.  I can remember once getting an incredibly detailed PDF from Canon on how we could use their logo, with warnings of dire consequences if we got it wrong.

  • I have some old pagemaker files that I need to open so I have bought a G3 on ebay. It turns on OK but all that comes uo on the screen is an envelope with alternating question mark and apple logo. Any ideas?

    I suggest you get 9.2.  You need to install the same or later version of the OS.  One some computer the shipped version has extra drivers.  The drivers will not be in the official release in this case 9.1.  They would be in 9.2.
    Mac OS 9.1 (Mac OS ROM 7.5.1) and Mac OS X 10.0.4 (4P13)
    *blinking question mark*
    The blinking question mark means that your mac firmware could not find a valid operating system
    on one of your disk volumes.

    Try holding down the option key then power on.  This brings up the startup manager.  Click on your hd. Click on right arrow key.
    You need to figure out the level of your firmware before installing 10.2 or greater. ( The PC name for firmware is BIOS. ) Installing 10.2 with a down level firmware will most likely make your iMac unusable and difficult to fix.
    What is firmware?
    The firmware software receives control when you poweron your machine.  It does some hardware testing and some hardware configuration then passes control to your version of Mac OS.   It reside on a PROM ( program read only memory ) chip on the logic board.
    Figuring out what level of firmware you have?
    Open Firmware, boot into Open Firmware.
    Power on your iMac while holding down command+option+o+f
    The first output line contains the firmware level. Mine reads:
    Apple PowerMac4,1 4.1.9f1 BootRom built on 09/14/01 at 13.18.04
    Copyright 1994-2001 Apple Computer Inc.
    On my machine, I have 4.1.9f1.
    What firmware do you need?
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117
    For a slot loading iMac, this article indicates that you need to be running 9.1 or later version of Mac OS Classic.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75130
    "The iMac Firmware Update 4.1.9 will only run on iMac computers with lot-loading CD or DVD drives running Mac OS 9.1 or later from a local drive. If you are using Mac OS X you must boot from a local Mac OS 9.1 or later writeable partition (not a CD, or network disk) prior to following the update instructions."
    You can download the Mac OS 9 updates from the Apple site.

  • HT204210 Still nothing about File Vault that needs a bug fix for almost every user. This is becoming even more disappointing!

    Still nothing about File Vault that needs a bug fix for almost every user. This is becoming even more disappointing!

    Apple Enterprise Support is aware of this issue. They have specific instructions which attempt to remediate the issue, however, attempting on two different MBP laptops, so far has not succeeded.
    The problem to be specific is - hang at login. The Filevaulted user account gets its password entered, then the "progress bar" mid screen will be seen to halt, never resuming. NVRAM resets dont necessarily cure this issue, but turning off FV2 definitely does.
    We are seeing this with 10.10.2 fully Apple-SUS updated machines.
    Feedback has been sent to Apple over this as well.
    Im recommending:
    a. turn off FV2 until such time as a Apple provided update cures it
    b. consider the Sophos WDE solution if WDE is absolutely required (disclosure: I havent attempted this, not sure about its workability)

  • Importing AVI files turn green

    Hello out there,
    I recently downloaded 4 AVI files. They played fine on my Qtime player. I then tried to import them to iMovie and when I did, two of the files turned green in the clip holder and the contents of the file were lost (from 349 MB to 21.6MB). I tried to play them and there was nothing there. I even tried to play them in Qtime and they turned green in there as well.It plays fine in VLC however and the "get info" reads the original 349 MB. I need to import these two files into iMovie. Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    iMovie can "convert to DV" nearly any file QuickTime can play at import.
    I haven't tried it as I rarely use the software. I make my Web based files from start to finish in QuickTime Pro.

  • Problems exporting to PDF with AI placed files

    I have a 24 page document with placed illustrator files. When I go to export to PDF it takes hours to export. When I change all the placed images to JPG it exports fine. Anyone know why this is happening. I thought the whole point of the newer versions of InDesign was you were able to use native Adobe files.
    What are the best file types to place in InDesign?

    If would help to know versions and OS. ALWAYS tell us the version(s) of program(s) you are using, what OS, and the version of that OS. Some people overdo it with model and  speed of CPU, RAM, video card, monitor size, hard drive space, make and model of car, and shoe size. Don’t need any of that crap.

  • CS2 Placed Files are Wrong Color

    I created a square in a new CMYK document with a fill color of C:0, M:0, Y:0, K:80 and then clicked on Edit->Assign Profile and set the assignment at "Don't Color Manage This Document". Then I saved the file with the option for embed IIC profile checked. I created a new CMKY document and clicked on Edit->Assign Profile and set the assignment at "Don't Color Manage This Document". Then I clicked File->Place and placed the first file into the new document. I used the Eye Dropper tool to sample the color from the placed file and these are the CMYK values that I get C:77, M:67, Y:66, K:1.
    If I copy and paste the file into a new document, the color is correct. In this case, I need to use place.
    Does anyone have a suggestion as to why the color is different in the second document when the file is placed?
    Thanks in advance!

    >...clicked on Edit->Assign Profile and set the assignment at "Don't Color Manage This Document". Then I saved the file with the option for embed IIC profile checked.
    Why are you doing such a thing? Those two choices are at odds. Illustrator will embed the working space profile if you check the embed profile option at save-time
    regardless of your earlier choice not to color manage. You can prove it to yourself by re-opening the document and looking at the document info palette.
    If you don't want to use color management, don't embed profiles.
    Now, as to your question regarding the change in color, you're observing an on-screen rendering issue. Embed rather than link the document you are placing, and you should see proper color values via the eyedropper tool.

  • What file do notes need to be on to go to the ipod 5g

    what file do notes need to be on to go to the ipod 5g

    Notes need to be saved in plain text format(.txt), and then placed in the Notes folder on the iPod when disk use is enabled for it. Only the first ~4000 characters of any note will be recognized.

  • I have AVI files that I need to be MOV files so that I can edit them in Final Cut Pro. I am going to use Quick Time Pro for this....do I have to 'export' it or can I just 'save as', or is there even a difference? Thanks in advance for your help!

    I strongly recommend you use compressor to do the conversion (if it will open the files - since quicktime will open them, it will more than likely do it.
    Compressor allows you to customize presets and save them and apply them to multiple files.  Although the interface may seem daunting, it's actually pretty simple.
    Even if you can edit the avi in fcp, it's not a good idea.  Liable to cause problems down the road. 

  • I am trying to make a pdf of a file and I need to get the file size to be no bigger than 10MB. What is the best way to do this

    I am trying to make a pdf of a file and I need to get the file size to be no bigger than 10MB. Even when I save it, the image quality at minimum the file size is 10.9 MB. What is the best way to do this

    @Barbara – What purpose is that PDF for? Print? Web?
    If web purpose, you could convert CMYK images to sRGB. That would reduce the file size as well.
    A final resort to bring down file size is:
    1. Print to PostScript
    2. Distill to PDF
    That would bring file size down even more. About 20%, depending on the images and other contents you are using, compared with the Acrobat Pro method. If you like you could send me a personal message, so we could exchange mail addresses. I could test for you. Just provide the highres PDF without any downsampling and transparency intact. Best provide a PDF/X-4.
    I will place the PDF in InDesign, print to PostScript, distill to PDF.

    can anyone help?

    Do you see your iPod under Devices on the left side of the iTunes window in the source list when it's connect to your Mac?
    BTW...  you sync iTunes media from the tabs in the iTunes menu, not from the File menu unless you are transferring iTunes purchases from the iPod to your Mac.
    Might need to zoom to see this graphic. I have "Music" selected as an example.

    Hello I have a iMac with 3.4 GHZ intel core I7, memory 16 GB 1333 MHZ DDR3, and OS X 10.9.4 Software.
    I have problems when I try to copy or modify any file from my MAC to MY PORTABLE DRIVE/DISQUE (external hard disk).

    brand: Seagate
    4TB
    I do not know if I need some software such as: paragon or I need to configure my MAC,
    Please help me..
    Thanks a lot

    Click on it, choose Get Info from the File menu, and check the format.
    If it's formatted as NTFS, reformat it as MS-DOS, exFAT, or Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as desired, or install software such as Paragon NTFS on the computer.
    If it's formatted as FAT32 or exFAT, use the Disk Utility's Repair Disk command on it; this may also happen for a flash drive which is about to fail.
    If it's formatted as Mac OS Extended, click Authenticate and provide your administrator password, or change the permissions on that specific folder in its Get Info window.

  • When smb sharing, files turn into folders

    I use Mountain Lion on my 2012 Air. I connect to a hard drive on my wireless router using the SMB protocol. Random files turn into folders.
    I don't know if this is a problem with the OS X SMB protocol or my wireless router, which is a Linksys e3500.
    Has anyone encountered this problem?
