Same colors appearing different in the same document

I have a document where I have filled different table cells with the same RGB color. However, they sometimes appear as two different shades, one darker than the other. I checked to be sure it was the same RGB color and it was, but it appears quite different both in InDesign and when I export it to pdf. Any idea why the same color is appearing differently in the same document?

It doesn't appear to be a monitor problem, as the colors are different both on my laptop screen and on my external monitor. As I do not have the ability to print a hard copy before the file gets sent to the printer to make a proof, I need to know which is the "right" color (or at least the once closest to how it will print). Even if the colors are showing up differently on screen, if the swatch for both is exactly the same, will it show up as the same color once the actual hard copy is printed?

Why is a color print from CS5 so different from the same image in CS4?

I have made prints from the same file using CS4 and CS5, and the prints from CS4 are showing what I think is good color. My monitor is calibrated, and I have always been quite happy with prints from CS4. When I make prints of the same files using CS5, the color is terrible compared to the CS4 print. I am using the same printer, same sRGB color space and all the settings in the "Print" dialog windows. I make sure the Color Handling box is set to "Photoshop Manages Colors" and I then go to the "Page Setup" box and make sure Color Settings is set to Off (No Color Adjustments). I am using a New MacPro Quad-Core Intel Xeon with 16 GB ram. I did notice that Apple Software Update did install Epson drivers after I installed CS5 Creative Suite 5 Design Premium. The color using CS5 looks the same starting in either 32 bit or in 64 bit. Another thing I notice is that printing on an Epson 2200 Stylus and using their 13x19 paper that the prints are being cropped to 5/8 inch into the full screen size of the images. I.E. The prints are losing 5/8 inch of what I see on the 30" Apple monitor. in both dimensions of the screen image. This cropping effect is showing now using CS4 and CS5. I have "Position" checked for Center Image, and Scale to Fit Media is also checked. I've been using PS since version 2 and have always been quite happy with the prints from my Epson printers and the prints from my Photo Lab, but the prints I am getting using CS5 are terrible. All the settings are the same in both the CS4 and CS5 "PRINT" windows.
HELP!!!! :-)

I have tried all of these things. I have checked and double-checked the print dialog. Sheet after sheet of paper goes by. Ink, at $40 per tank, is wasted. Results are still wrong. I followed your video. You use an Epson printer. I use an HP. Different print dialogs. different results. Whatever worked in previous PS versions does not work now. PS CS5 requires new settings to get the results that match what was determined by years of evolution and fine-tuning.
I set up all of those print dialog parameters but it required an adjustment layer or two to get the results I got using previous Photoshop. So I could do that with every image I printed with good results using previous versions. There is nothing out of gamut in these images, so I don't have unrealistic expectations about more saturation in the prints. Anyway, it's an 8-color printer that can handle a pretty wide gamut compared to a 4-color.
Wade, I know you are trying to help but this finger-wagging "error in your ways" and "you need to change your ways" stuff is patronizing. I did "change my ways" and try everything in your video. All was not well on the paper. I'm glad it worked out for you but it didn't for me. Accept it. I'm not some novice hobbyist still getting the hang of Photoshop. I've been using Photoshop since version 2. Adobe changed something in CS5. I haven't seen Chis Cox or any Adobe staffer jump into this discussion and say otherwise. Maybe there are no answers from the folks who should know the most about it. Maybe they're working on it.
It's not the first time Adobe has broken a tool. Anyone remember what happened to Outline Stroke in Illustrator CS2? It had previously made a path that could be edited by selecting points but after CS2, it was broken. Illustrator made a filled path that was nearly impossible to edit with all of the overlapping points. It was finally fixed in CS4. It's hard to understand how a useful tool that functioned properly in every version since it was introduced became an unusable mess. Maybe that's the case with PS CS5 and printing.
With 4,300+ posts in 14 months, maybe Wade has more time to tinker and tell us about it. I don't.
Or I could just print in CS4. At this point it's not that important to spend several days of testing to be able to say that CS5 can print my legacy stuff that was created and printed with various color profiles over a 12 year period. Maybe a more disciplined approach to color management would be a good way to work in the future when creating images, I'm dealing with tried-and-true printable images that were not done that way.
As long as Adobe doesn't make me give up CS4 to use CS5, I'll use it for printing.

How to multiple/ parellal sets of books to generate more than one financial statement based on different (or the same) accounting principles.

How to multiple/ parallel sets of books to generate more than one financial statement based on different (or the same) accounting principles.
My Client needs Parallel Ledger in SAP B1 similar like SAP ECC. Is this functionality available ?

Dear Mr. Nagrajan,
Thank you for your response. I have already gone through documents but not able to understand. Is there any setup for this ? or its just work around i.e. using template and special field in JV i.e. Ref. 1 /2
My doubts :
I understand that Chart of Account structure is one and common for IFRS and other accounting method. We need to create only those account separately ( 2 times with prefix like IFRS revenue account, GAAP Revenue account).
Now at time of entry, Assume some entries / adjustment are specifically for IFRS and not for other ledger. In this case, What need to do ?
You have mentioned about DTW approach but do we need to insert all JV's again with other ledger ?
Someone suggested that if any entry which are specific to IFRS Ledger, We need to user Ref.1 /2 column or Transcation code column and in which we can put IFRS
Based on this, Need to create 2 seperate template for IFRS and other ledger for all report.
This is my understanding of Solution in SAP B1. Please help me to clarify my though process
Please do needful.If you have done implemenation and if you can share doucment, it would be great help.

Spot colors Black, All have the same alternate color values

If printer’s mark [Crop, Registration, Page] is enable in the InDesign preset options, we are getting “Spot colors Black, All have the same alternate color values” error in the PITSTOP log report.

I'm not sure if CM was assigned to document when created or afterwards. In Color Settings preferences is stated Fogra 39 (if it matters - document was meanwhile saved and opened...). Are there other options to assign workspace to exsisting document?
Peter, this is not the case. Placed image has embeded same color profile as is working space of document in ID. I tried the same with sRGB image placed in same ID document and compared it to PS but color shift (greenish) is present - it looks exactly the same.
Guys, I can't tell you how happy I am to have you help me with this terrible and nerve-wracking problem.

Same colors display differently between Illustrator and Photoshop

Hi there,
I would love to know why the same colors display differently between my Photoshop and Illustrator apps (CS3). For example, a logo will display much darker or more vividly in Illustrator than in Photoshop, same file, same colour values. My color settings are synchronized from Adobe Bridge to North American Pre Press 2. I've opened the logo file in RGB color mode, in both apps. It would be so helpful if both apps displayed the colours consistently.
Any suggestions on how to do this would be wonderful!
Thanks!
Bobbie

Hello Bobbie,
I am using CS3 too and let me tell you that this Illustrator version is the worst ever. You best bet is to take the "Eye Drop" tool and select the Photoshop element to match the color.
CS4 also have problems when handle placed items. Sadly I can tell you that CS2 is more reliable than CS3 and CS4.
Not even if you use Pantone colors will match, Illustrator will change the colors making it impossible to match. "Adobe Quality"

Balance Display are different for the same GL account in FS10N & FAGLB03

Hi,
It was noted that the GL account Balance Display are different for the same GL account in FS10N & FAGLB03.
Please advice what would have cause the matter.
Thank you,
Regards,

Hi Vani,
Think you are using version 6.0.
I had observed that TCode FAGLB03, displayes balances for particular Ledger (0L) leading by default.
While in FS10N there is no option for selecting ledger.
Try FAGLB03 with all ledgers one by one.
Add the total and then try to matc wiht FS10N.
Assign points of Good.
thanks

I have two iPads. With two functioning iPads. Is it possible (on the same ID) to sync two of them differently with the same account. So I want to use the new iPad for all my current functions. The old iPad for just my music collection?

I have two iPads. With two functioning iPads. Is it possible (on the same ID) to sync two of them differently with the same account. So I want to use the new iPad for all my current functions. The old iPad for just my music collection and remove all the other stuff?

Very easily. I have an iPod touch and iPad on the same account with totally different content.
If you use iTunes, connect each iPad to your computer and open iTunes and deselect any automatic updating/syncing. If you don't sync with iTunes but have them set up independently, under the settings, App Store, turn off automatic downloads for apps, etc.
I'm old fashioned, I set up and sync my iPad and iPod to my computer and iTunes. Each device has a different name and I manage content manually and only allow sharing on what I want shared.

Why would I get different sized exe's if I build the same source code and target the same RT target?

Hi Bob P (Dr. RT) et al,
This is driving me nuts! I have a VI that uses different amount of memory depending on which machine I use to do the build.
I use the same build file and the same source.
It is targeted at the same cFP2000.
FP version is the same.
LV version is the same.
If I build it from the one machine, there is enough memory available to target the RT platform, show the front panel and do a "show RT engine info".
If I try this from the other machine, the cFP crashes, starts flashing the "status light" and latter on the crash dump file indicate "insuffiecient memory to complete this operation".
The OS on the two machines are both XP. O
ne is a laptop (the one that works) the other is a tower.
Are there any LV ini file settings that could be hitting me?
My customer is seeing the same issue, so it not just me.
Any clues?

Hi Bob,
Few questions:
1)Ftp to your target. Are the exes the same size on disk?
No
2)Build the exes on the hosts. Are they the same size on disk?
I will have to look at this.
3)Can you determine whether the exes consume the same amount of memory when loaded on the hosts?
They will not run on the host because they use inport/output (to control serial port handshake lines).
4)Does your application call any dlls via an NI driver or custom-built?
THey use the "Settime.dll. At build time the builder says the target OS has its own version of this (and FP).
I'm doubtful that any LV ini settings are causing this behavior. If I had to take a guess, it could be related to dll versioning. Do the hosts have identical versions of *all*
drivers/dlls called by your app?"
Can you give me a suggestion on how verify this.
I have double checked LV (6.1) and FP.

Please do 2-3 SMC and PRAM resets back to back and retest. Also use new cables, they can go bad.

Different Migo posted on the same delivery note number with the same vendor

Hi Experts,
We are facing a peculiar problem while saving migo in the sytem. The system is allowing to post more than one migo with the same delvery note number with the same vendor code in the same financial year. Ideally shystem should give some informative / error messgage during saving one migo. In our company, we capture party invoice number in the delivery note option. Our problem is more promintent if the vendor is non excisable.
How to check this problem.
Regards
GR

Hi,
In Standard SAP, no check is available on "Delivery Note" field for duplicacy. This is only available for "Reference" field in MIRO.
If you want to have a check on "Delivery Note" field in MIGO then go for some ABAP Development using BAdi or Enhancement Spot "MB_MIGO_BADI".
