Registration marks converted to RGB

In InDesign 2014 i've created some extra stripes which should appear in every color (but RGB), so i made them in registration color.
After generating a pdf file, and inspecting the file in Acrobat, i see the registration color is converted in RGB, which i do not want.
I only want CMYK and Pantone colors.
How can i change this ?

I've moved you question from the feature requests forum to the general discussions.
Sounds like you are using an RGB simulation profile in the Acrobat output preview....

FrameMaker 10.0.2 still not printing to pdf with registration marks

I upgrade from FrameMaker 10.0 to 10.0.2 this weekend and was able to print a test page with registration marks. Today I cannot. The page size is larger than the document. The message "registration marks are outside of page size" appeared once.
My book is 3.5" x 6" and the Format > Page Layout > Page Size is 8.5" x 11". The print driver is Adobe PDF. Western registration marks are turned on.
Am I doing something wrong?

I haven't checked this lately, but I'm remembering that registration marks only appeared automagically if the Press job option was enabled.
Otherwise, as Van suggets, just add them with Acrobat (assuming you have the full package).
Also, I hope you're printing to the Acrobat printer, not using SaveAsPDF...

Change color for trim and registration mark

The trim and registration marks are having the color name "All" in the generated pdf from InDesign. Any one help me out on how to change the color to K (black) while generating PDF out of InDesign.

Is it possible to make to 4/c to 1/c (black 100%) while generating PDF itself without adding marks in the document?
Maybe, in CS6, by exporting to Grayscale, but this will make everything black ink only. Otherwise, no.
To add your own marks, add a slug area to the file, draw whatever you want for marks in that area, using [Black], and turn off automatic marks in the export dialog, but Include Slug Area under the bleed settings.

Attached images convert to RGB.

I've been trying to send an layered psd image as an attachment using Mail. The image is required to be CMYK and has been created and saved that way - but once attached to the email i'm composing it somehow converts to RGB. I've confirmed with the recipient that it also arrives as RGB. Is there a preference i can turn off to stop Mail messing with the files i'm trying to send?

Thanks Roger. That's exactly what i've done as a "work around". Just thought there might be a more tidier solution.

Preset to put a registration mark in center of page

I cannot figure out how to put my reg. mark in the center of the page to set it up for silk screening! When i click Print and go to marks and bleeds and select the tab for Registration Marks they only go to the outer corners and there is not a preset (that I can see) that puts them to the center. Please help!!

Typically reg. marks are outside the print area. If you need one within the page area you'll need to create your own. You can create the register mark, like any other artwork and assign it the default "Registration" color from the swatch panel.
To place something in the center of a given artboard:
Either:
Cut artwork element(s) (Cmd-x)
zoom to artboard (cmd-0)
Paste (Cmd-V)
Or:
Select artwork element(s)
Choose "Align to Artboard" in pull-down menu in options bar
Click "Horizontal Align Center" and "Vertical Align Center" buttons in option bar

Placing registration marks on the corners of document

I have to process a lot of files to be router trimmed which requires them to have very specific registration marks. There are 2 different marks we have to use. The first mark is at the top left corner of the image contains 2 .25" dots separated vertically by a 1" gap. The other mark is one .25" mark that is in the top right, bottom right, and bottom left corners. I have both of these registration marks saved as symbols (or just AI files). I want to be able to have the script automatically place the appropriate marks in the corners. How can this be done?
Thanks!
Chris

here you go, your symbols must be the first and second in the symbols panel. Top/Left symbol must be the first in the Symbols panel. The other symbol must be the second in the panel
#target Illustrator
// script.name = addRegistrationSymbols.jsx;
// script.description = adds custom registration marks (saved as symbols) to each corner of the active arboard;
// script.required = 2 symbols. Top/Left symbol must be the first in the Symbols panel. The other symbol must be the second in the panel
// script.parent = carlos canto // 10/30/14;
// script.elegant = false;
// reference https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1621840
// usage: your symbols must be the first and second in the symbols panel.
if (app.documents.length > 0) {
var idoc = app.activeDocument;
    var margins = 0;
    var bounds = idoc.artboards[idoc.artboards.getActiveArtboardIndex()].artboardRect;
    var ableft = bounds[0]+margins;
    var abtop = bounds[1]-margins;
    var abright = bounds[2]-margins;
    var abbottom = bounds[3]+margins;
    var twoDots = idoc.symbols[0];
    var twoDotsInstance = idoc.symbolItems.add(twoDots);
    twoDotsInstance.position = [ableft, abtop];
    var oneDot = idoc.symbols[1];
    var oneDotInstance = idoc.symbolItems.add(oneDot);
    var h = oneDotInstance.height;
    var w = oneDotInstance.width;
    oneDotInstance.position = [abright-w, abtop];
    var dup = oneDotInstance.duplicate ();
    dup.position = [abright-w, abbottom+h];
    var dup2 = oneDotInstance.duplicate ();
    dup2.position = [ableft, abbottom+h];

Green box with registration marks appears from nowhere

...and I'd like to get rid of it, but how and what is it?
In any AICS3 document I open, my default is now an art board that is 200"x200" with a green rectangle about 60"x12" in its center. The green rectangle has registration marks on its corners. Even if I change the size of my art board to something smaller, the green rectangle remains. I've gone through all the preferences and everything in the View menu, but it is not affected by anything. It does not seem to be a template. Can anyone help me: 1. get rid of this annoying (but apparently benign) rectangle and 2. tell me what it is. It does not seem to do anything. Needless to say, it cannot be selected and is not referred to in any of the palettes. Thanks in advance for any help.

Try Object > Unlock All and Object > Crop Area > Release. Also look for a locked layer in the Layers panel.

Remove hidden information without converting to RGB

I'm preparing a PDF for one-color printing, and it has some color data off the page that's messing up our prepress process. So I ran "remove hidden information" to cut that data out, but it converted the entire file from CMYK to RGB. I obviously need the file to stay CMYK (getting it down to just K was the whole point). Is there any way to remove cropped/overlapping data without converting to RGB?

You might try running the Preflight single fixup under Pages to "Remove page objects which are completely outside of page area" instead.

Clipboard images converting to RGB

When I "copy merged", create a new file and paste the contents into it, I see my new image is RGB instead of the Adobe RGB from the original image. I must have a preference setting wrong somewhere?
When I use the Duplicate command, the color space stays the same, but I don't always want to create a saved file on the hard drive for the second image.

First setup color management so that colors get converted the way you want them to.
But there will still be colors that can't be converted in a way you would expect them to. For instance 100 K won't be converted to RGB 000.
You don't need to convert to RGB at all. Just do a Save for Web and Devices and save as PNG. This will be in RGB.
If you need to get certain colors you would have to convert the file using File > Document Color mode and after that perhaps Edit > Edit Colors > Recolor Art to Assign the colors.

Can a photoshop cmyk psd file converted to photoshop PDF be used online, or 1st convert to RGB?

Can a photoshop cmyk psd file converted to photoshop PDF be used online, or 1st convert to RGB? (the client requested 300 res. and is using it for their online magazine)

There should be no difficulty using CMYK online - all PDF viewers have to be able to convert to RGB for the screen. But I'd be very concerned about putting 300 dpi online. You should shrink it down to a suitable screen resolution.

Problems converting layered rgb files with transparency to cmyk files retaining the layers.

10.7.4/Mac Pro/PhotoshopCS6 13.0 - When cmyk converting a multilayered rgb file layers containing transparency doesn't convert to same profile as layers not including transparency, e.g. a product with a shadow - each on separate layers. the product layer is converted to working Color settings but the transparent layer isn't and is converted completely different, both grayscale and UCR/GCR.
Any suggestions?
Tom

Sorry c.pfaffenbichler, but I'm not giving in - and as you have not really produced any facts to explain this I will see this as a Photoshop bug.
If you make a simple two-point gradient in CMYK the gradient will (according to your settings) create a transition between the two colors.
If one of the colors is 87/78/64/92 and the other 0/0/0/0 then the resulting intermediate steps will depend on those two colors – the CMYK space’s GCR settings have no influence here.
Edit: To clarify: The CMYK space’s GCR settings determine how the default »black« is formed, but a gradient in CMYK is not dependent on those GCR settings. Otherwise all gradients would have to be dragged through the PCS and that would not make sense if somebody decides to make a gradient with certain CMYK colors.
And as I have tried to explain: A black to transparent gradient layer is basically a black layer with a transparency, so again: the CMYK GCR settings do not play into this.
Just convert a RGB black to transparent Layer to CMYK, rasterize it and then apply Layer > Layer Mask > From Transparency, then turn off the Layer Mask.
Whether you »give in« or not does not change the way these things are.
knowing there's a flaw in Photoshop, not letting us see what transparents really look like when converted...?
The flaw seems to be in your understanding, not in Photoshop.
Working in RGB and CMYK has relevant differences.
In RGB there is true black, in CMYK true black would have to be 100/100/100/100 which would violate the requirements for many or most processes.
And a CMYK space’s GCR settings are applied in conversion, when you yourself work in CMYK and commit a blunder (meaning things like exceeding the TAC, arbitrarily mixing grays, …) the problems are of your own making.
Edit: To restate: »expecting a layered image to appear identically in RGB and CMYK is simply not sensible depending on the image content and structure.«
The two color models are inherently different, the one additive, the other subtractive.

Converting to RGB

I am designing with CMYK templates but I need to convert them to RGB before uploading and I'm not sure how to do this. I also need them to be saved as
PNG. I know how to export to PNG but I need to know if I do this before or after the RGB conversion.
Hope someone can help.
Thanks, Mike

Can I use either PE9 or LR4 to convert Adobe RGB to CMYK?

Can I use either PE9 or LR4 to convert Adobe RGB to CMYK?

LR4 does not convert to CMYK. You would need CS6. But if your requirement is a one-off you may be able to get your print lab to do the conversion at a reasonable price.

To convert an rgb image to 8 bit grayscale

Hey,
I need to convert an rgb image to 8 bit grayscale image as the image is being acquired, im using the imaq create VI, which has an 'image type' terminal which allows the choice of image to be selected.however this isnt working. any solutions?
also
Im trying to make a image constant for the imaq subtraction VI, so the this constant image is subtracted from each image as its acquired.what would be the easiest way of doing this, without having the user specify the same image path each time? thanks.

Not sure what you mean by extracting a plane?
Here is a VI that will convert an image to 8-Bit. This paired with the grayscale one will get the desired result. See example.vi below. Order that they are applied does give slightly different results.
