Replace color issues

This should be a piece of cake.  I scanned in a simple black brush stroke into photoshop and now want to change the color.  I cannot get it to change. Any Ideas on what I am not doing here.

Make the desired color the foreground color. Edit > Fill, using the foreground color, with the mode set to Screen.

  • Illustrator CS6 color issues when saving JPG

    I have recently gotten rid of the Pantone+ color books and replaced them with the old color books, using the "Workaround 1: Replace Pantone Plus with older Pantone color books" help from Adobe. Followed all of the instrauctions and had no issues until two weeks ago. Then suddenly when saving PDFs I had to start changing the output Color Conversion to ' convert to destination'. I never had to take this extra step before. Now if I do not do this it saves some colors as black. Whatever, I got over that and take the extra step.
    TODAY, now I can't even save JPGs without color issues. Some JPGs save correctly. Then I use the same color in a different file, and it saves completely different. Same color profiles, swatch options, blah blah blah.
    Someone help me. I am extremely fed up with these issues. Like everyone else, this is my job and now it is making a huge impact on my work...

    What program are you using to view the PDFs?

  • Color issues in Mountain Lion with Acrobat Pro

    I'm not sure I'm in the right forum, but here it goes.
    Since upgrading my OS to Mountain Lion, I've noticed  when viewing PDFs output from InDesign 5.5 that once in Acrobat Pro the colors look muted and inaccurate.  I never saw this in Snow Leopard, hence my posting.  Color in InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop CS5.5 seem just fine, it's only when a PDF is viewed in Acrobat that I see this muted color issue. 
    What I'm concerned with is are these problems when viewing only, or is the PDF color range itself screwed up?  I do prepress work and am using an Eizo CG241 display, CS5.5 and Acrobat Pro 10.1.4.
    Thanks!

    If you are using a calibrated display, the calibration software should set your Displays>Color profile for you. Mine is set to "PA271W 0610738UA 2012-11-14 14-57", which is the name of the profile created by the calibration software. This is where color temperature, gamma, and color corrections are stored (in my case for prepress work at 5000K and 1.8 gamma).
    Sorry about this long-winded posting, but I think the last few paragraphs may help make some progress, and I must first digress to get to them...
    Control of color profiles embedded in my PDF files is done in Adobe Creative Suite (verson 6 at this time). I use Bridge to synchronize the suite. North American Web/Internet is for files going to the web and I apply sRGB to those files when opening them (if they aren't already sRGB). North American Prepress 2 is for files going to a printing press, and I apply Adobe RGB to files when opening them (if they aren't already Adobe RGB).
    Files for the web are saved using Photoshop's "Save for Web..." command, which is set to sRGB and uses the Document Profile for a preview.
    Files for print are converted to CMYK and placed in InDesign or Illustrator, where they are saved as PDF/X-1a files, which are CMYK and those values are preserved (not color managed). I should note that before that point, during client proofs, the files are placed as Adobe RGB. They are replaced by CMYK images before making a PDF/X-1a file for the printing press. Either way, the files display correctly and identically (except for any color gamut differences) regardless of color mode or application. (This is color management working correctly.) Except for Acrobat and Reader.
    Until CS6, all PDF files would be displayed by Acrobat identically to how they appeared in the originating application (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign). Now all PDF files are darker, more drab, and shifted slightly toward blue.
    Here's the weird thing. No matter what I do, even if I start with an sRGB file and save it as a Photoshop PDF using the Save for Web command, so it has been sRGB throughout the process, when the PDF file is viewed in Acrobat or Reader it is darker, more drab, and shifted slightly toward blue.
    My first hypothesis was that Acrobat and Reader were applying sRGB to everything. But that appears to be wrong. Now I'm thinking that it's my calibrated display profile that is being ignored. And since it is calibrated for 5000K and 1.8 gamma, that is what explains the big shift in darkness, vividness, and color. It may be that the display profile, not the embedded color profile, is all that matters!
    If so, a good experiment would be to calibrate one of your displays for 5000K and 1.8 gamma. If Acrobat and Reader are ignoring the display profile, you should see a very obvious difference in displayed PDF files compared to displays using 6500K and 2.2 gamma (which is just about everyone these days, except for publishing professionals who do exacting print work).
    Sheesh!

  • HP PSC 1600 All-In-One error message remove and replace color cartridge

    I get the remove and replace color cartridge and printer or scanner won't work. I have replaced the cartridge with new ones twice and it still happens. Just installed a new HP color cartridge and no luck. I've tried everything I can think of.
    Please, does anyone have any other suggestions????
    Thank you,

    Hi MJKEL,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having an issue with errors on the printer pertaining the ink cartridges.
    I do have a few steps that we can try in the attempt to troubleshoot this issue.
    First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
    I have also located a documet that deals with A 'Remove and Check [color / black / photo] Cartridge' Error Message Displays on the Printer Control...
    Please feel free to write me back if you have any other questions or concerns.
    Cheers,

  • HP Photosmart 8250 color issues

    Ive read all the threads about color issues on the 8250.  Most have no responses.  A couple had tips on what to try and I've tried them all.  Ive cleaned the heads, ran maintenance, aligned heads, turned it off and on.  Ive cleaned the heads so many times Ive used half of my ink on two cartridges.  I just spent $50 on a completely new set of ink cartridges and just replaced them all.  Each time I do the head cleaning the colors get worse.   
    I'm about ready to throw this thing out the window.  This is the 3rd printer we have purchased in the last 7 years from HP and I will probably never buy another again!  It seems they always have a similar problem like this and always during Christmas when I'm trying to do a bunch of printing!
    Does anyone know what else to do?  I'm assuming the head is bad or something but how can I tell for sure.  Or..is there a way to manually clean it.  I dont want to spend any more money on this thing...its starting to become cheaper to just replace it again but it seems pretty ridiculous for these printers to only last a couple year.

    Hi,
    You can logon to your ePrint account to check. Most likely due to no inks. Replace color ink cartridges will help.
    FYI: I ran few tests over the weekend on my loan 7510 (with one empty color cartridge) it refused to print at the beginning but it printed a document after that.
    Regards.

  • Video Camera Color issues???

    Any one elese having color issues. Mine seems to be on the yellow side. The picture looks great but the color isnt. Not sure if this is problem or not.

    This is a known issue under incandescent lighting. I had 3 Iphone 4s (2 replacements after the original) and all 3 exhibited the same very yellow/orange coloring under this type of room lighting.
    It's a white balance issue and one that I would think could be fixed easily with a software patch.

  • IPhone 5s screen color issues

    Got a 5s, love, however I was wondering, the color white seems "yellowish". I was able to get one (AT&T) through Best Buy, and ordered one through Apple. Both phones seems to have the white color issue. I went to the Apple store and compared the screens, my phone seems "yellowish", even confirmed by the Apple employee. Anyone else having issues?

    Thank you for your help, Shipping cost is a issue. I will contact the apple soon

  • Camera Raw 8.7.1 color issues

    After the recent camera raw update to 8.7.1 I have noticed some pretty bad color shifts between camera raw and photoshop cs6. The colors in camera raw look very saturated and then when moving into photoshop the saturation shift is pretty dramatic. I never had these issues before the update. I have attached a screenshot illustrating the color issue. I am working on a very good monitor ( NEC PA 242W ) and it is color calibrated using NEC Spectraview calibration system. I have double checked my color setting in photoshop and camera raw to make sure I was viewing the same color space. I am just wondering if this is maybe a bug in the update and others are experiencing the same issues or if I am just missing something.
    I would also add that I am using the Creative Suite CS6 and not CC. If that makes a difference.

    Thanks ssprengel for the suggestions and running a side by side yourself. I went through all my settings and applied your suggestions and did a side by side each time. I even uninstalled the entire creative suite on my system then reinstalled and updated and I still get the same outcome. It was fine yesterday with the previous version of ACR. It seems like the updated version is not showing the image preview in any color space. When I switch the color space in the workflow options the histogram changes but it doesn't seem to affect the preview window. And yes the preview button was checked on it was just when I was using the screen grab tool in windows it took focus away from the application so that is why the settings appear grayed out. I have attached more screen grabs below illustrating all my settings. Also here is some system info if anyone out there has a similar setup and would be willing to test.

  • Photoshop CC Color Issues

    When I updated my Photoshop program two updates ago I began having color issues in Photoshop as the rest of the Adobe Suite.  Regardless of whether the color mode is RGB or CMYK the colors appear washed out on the program.  This image http://i.imgur.com/BWVwbx2.jpg  is an example. The image on the right is a screen shot of the original image of the shoes copied from the website, the image on the left is the same image copied into photoshop. When I try to save the RGB file as a jpeg or a PDF it looks the same as it did in the program, washed out.  However,  when the file is CMYK color mode and I try to save it as a jpeg or PDF it looks like this http://i.imgur.com/TAUyeOf.jpg. Both my coworker and I started having this issue on our seperate computers around the same time so I don't believe that it is a graphics card issue or something along those lines. How can I fix this?  I have tried calling Adobe support, but unfortunately the person on the phone was not very experienced in the program and unable to help.
    Some Info about my computer:
    Currently I have Photoshop CC with the 14.2.1 update.  I have Windows 7 Professional SP1, 64-bit OS,  8 GB of RAM (7.87 GB Usable) and 360 GB free space on the (C:) drive.

    Illustrator and Windows Photo Viewer agree. They should, because they're both fully color managed. I assume Photoshop shows the same.
    Picasa is not color managed. All bets are off there, it can display like anything under the sun, depending on what color space the file was created in, and how your monitor displays color.
    There is a basic checklist for color management issues:
    1 - is the application color managed at all?
    2 - is there an embedded document profile, and what is it?
    3 - what is the monitor profile?
    We've established #1. For #2, see in the lower left corner of the Photoshop image window. Click the little arrow and check "document profile". What does it say?
    #3 is often the critical one. This is where your calibrated monitor profile should be - but if you don't do that, it's often a manufacturer supplied profile. These are often worse than worthless. The best option here is to use sRGB if you have a standard gamut monitor (like the U2412) - or Adobe RGB if you have a wide gamut monitor (like your co-worker's U3011). Yes, there is a significant difference between these two.
    Anyway:
    Go to Control Panel > Color Management > Devices. Set sRGB IEC61966-2.1 as your default monitor profile there and relaunch Photoshop:
    With this setting, Photoshop, Illustrator and Windows Photo Viewer will display  (more or less) correctly. It could still be that the file had the wrong document profile, or none at all, but the file will display correctly as it is.

  • Can't replace color in PSE 9

    I am trying to replace one color with another in a photo in PSE 9. Following the instructions in the on-line help does not work. Here is what I do.
    1) Select the eye dropper and click in the image to set the foreground color to the replacement color.
    2) Right click on the brush tool and choose the color replacement tool. Set the options to Mode=Color, Limits=Discontiguous, Tolerance=25%, Anti-alias=On.
    3) Left click on the color in the photo that I want to replace.
    4) Hold down the left mouse button and drag over the area containing the color I want to replace. Nothing happens when I do this.
    In the photos in the Replace Colors in an Image help topic it appears that at some point in the process the cursor should change to include an eye dropper. I assume this is the cursor I should see before I left click to select the color I wish to replace, however, at no time does the cursor ever contain an eye dropper.
    Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? Thanks.

    How are you trying to save? Works for me.

  • HP 7260: Photo tray = color issues (pink photos)

    Hi,
    I have a 7260 and it's working fine, as long as you don't use the photo tray.
    Today I tried to print a couple of photos on advanced hp photo paper.
    No problems at all, except that the picture is completely... pink.
    So I tried to mangle with the color settings (in windows) and eventually ended up with 6 pink pictures.
    Since I thought this was a settings error, I tried printing straight from the SD memory card.
    I figured that if there was no computer involved, there wouldn't be any setting issues either.
    And thus I ended up with 7 pink pictures.
    I finally decided this would probably be an ink issue, but to make sure I tried to print the same photo on a regular A4 sheet.
    And... no color issues there! Printing on regular A4 sheets works just fine!
    Any idea how I could make the printer print the right colors on the right paper?

    I suggest opening the Print & Scan System Preferences, then highlight your HP Photosmart printer in the printers list and delete it by pressing the minus sign. Now, re-add the printer by clicking on the plus sign and select the printer. Make sure that the 'Print Using:' pull down aut selects the correct driver for your printer. If it doesn't, pull down the list and manually select the correct driver using the 'Select Printer Software' option. Hopefully that will resolve your issue.

  • Color issues

    Hi, I recently installed Creative Suite Web Premium, and have
    weird color issues. If I open a jpeg in fireworks it looks correct,
    but if I open it PhotoShop CS3 or Windows Photo Gallery the colors
    look REALLY bright, not even close.
    Any Ideas on how to fix this?
    Thanks

    In Photoshop, try turning off View > Proof Colors.
    If that doesn't work, try Edit > Assign Profile and choose
    "Don't Color Manage This Document."
    If that doesn't work, try Edit > Color Settings and set
    the "Settings" to "Monitor RGB."

  • Bizzare Color Issue With JPEGs In RGB

    Recently when I've imported any jpegs from either the web or from my Thinkstock account I get strange color issues when it opens the image. Mostly the distortion happens in the whites. By default it opens in RGB mode (figure 1) and the issue goes away if I convert to CMYK mode (figure 2) but the image needs to be in RGB for me to use in an After Effects comp. Is there some step I'm missing in my color management? Thanks!

    Make sure you install the 10.9.1 update.
    Another test you can do is disable GPU drawing in Photoshop's preferences, then relaunch Photoshop.
    If the problem goes away, then it was caused by the video card driver (or, possibly by a defect in the GPU, but those aren't as common).

  • Color issues in Safari

    Hello, I've just uploaded my first Muse site: www.michaelphipps.net
    It worked well and looks perfect in Firefox on my computer (I haven't checked IE yet). In Safari, some of the rollover images are showing as a different color than the background. See the windows with the flags that say "Gallery", etc. You'll notice a small rectangle box around them where the orange (or green on other pages) is darker than the background. I looked on another computer with an older version of Safari and the problem is not there.
    I did some research and discovered that Safari pays attention to color profiles, but other browsers do not. I checked my background images and compared them to my rollover images. Different profiles? Yes! So I fixed that and the problem remained. I've been trying test after test for hours and discovered something strange. I saved the background image and placed it in the site with Muse. I cropped that same image in Photoshop and placed it on the other image in Muse. A quick check in Safari shows that the color issue is resolved- the two images are the same color. I cropped the image even smaller and the same test yielded good results- the colors of the two images are the same. I cropped it again to 221 by 61 pixels and tried it again. The problem is back! According to my tests, the only difference is the size of the image. So either Photoshop is saving the smaller image differently, or Muse is rendering it differently. Why? And how would I stop it?
    Thanks for your help!

    Just a thought - Musing [pardon pun]
    What file format are you using? ,jpg? .psd?  .png?
    Is Bridge in the workflow?  Is Camera Raw in the workflow? Is Save For Web in the workflow? Is Lightroom in the workflow. << any of them have the posibility of being the cause of your color mismatching issue.
    I use Lighroom a LOT, Thus I send photos from there to Photoshop and back. So - I have the color profile in PS set to ProPhotoRGB most of the time.
    Even though I have the 'always ask' about profile mismatches enabled I still have occasional issues with photos leaving PS with strange colors - usually because I'm impatient and not paying attention.
    My suggestion [what I would try] >>
    Be sure the PS used profile is set to RGB:
    Then I would open ALL my images in PS and Convert them all to RGB
