The colour changes depending on what file format you choose?!?

So I have noticed that depending on what file format you choose the colour changes slightly. Why is this?
For example I exported something in PDF and the colour changed yet when the PDF was printed it came out exactly how the colour should be. When I ex

If you're working in CMYK, "softproof" your colors by choosing View->Overprint Preview. Note the keyboard shortcut
If you're working in RGB, make sure the Creative Suite color management is synced. This is done through Bridge. May I suggest looking that up in Adobe Help.

  • What file format to choose after outlined image.

    I have outlined an image in Photoshop using pen tool. Then I saved it as .JPG file format. When I am placing it into illustrator where I am working actually the image is appearing with white background. I tried all format only in which only .PSD format is working good and showing as I want i.e. transparent background. I wanted to ask is there any other file format should I save the outline image in Photoshop which does not show any background color when I place in other application like Illustrator. Any type of help is greatly appreciated. Thanks. .

    UPDATE
    The work is done.
    As I was adviced by David I first exported the WMV original animations to the final edit format, DVCPRO50 NTSC. After some test with conversion settings, I built a preset in Compressor with some Frame Control custom settings. I found that using Detal Level: 40 gave more details in the final image.
    I encoded the final edit to MPEG2 CBR. Here is a frame as sample:
    The DVD was played in a standard player and projected in a 42" plasma TV with very good quality (projection was under customer reponsibility).
    If someone want to see the final edit can download a H.264 copy from * HERE *.

    What file format are the GB instruments in? EXS?

    A search on the net throws up no answer to this question. I can only suggest that you try asking on a forum dealing with Reason.

  • What is the largest MMC and SD card that the Acer C710 can use, and what file formats can be used?

    What is the largest MMC and SD card that the Acer C710 can read from and write to when inserted into the built-in 2-in-1 card reader? What file formats can be used with aforementioned MMC and SD cards?i.e. FAT, FAT 32, exFAT, etc.

    Thank you for you help. I forgot to mention what is the highest class of SD card it can use at top speed, and are there any classes that will simply not work? An example answer would be, the highest speed that it can operate at clase 6, with class 8 being the highest class compatible; class 10 will not work. Also note, there are new cards faster than class 10. I have seen symbols like U1 and U3. I don't expect a discount computer to run an SD card faster than class 10, but it is important to know if U1 and U3 at least work.

  • Why the Colour changes in AI ???

    My friend had a PDF file created in AI. She gave me the PDF file only. I open the file with AI in order to do minor editing but when I copy this file and paste into a new AI document, the colour changes (it becomes darker) even both documents are in CMYK mode. (I am using Adobe Illustrator CC)
    The same file my friend gave me, I did the same with Adobe Illustrator CS5, there is no problem.
    Can anyone help? Thank you so much in advance.

    I understand that for an export operation, but still puzzled why the histograms are almost identical in LR for images that had been brought into PS from the same RAW file and converted to different spaces (with slight differences undoubtedly due to the different gamuts).   In that case, LR must be "honoring" the different color spaces, with the same appearance and histograms...  But when I soft-proof the same RAW file I get very different histograms -- the sRGB more stretched out than the ProPhoto one.  Those soft-proof histograms are "the same" (realizing they are all quick calculations) as when I do the corresponding convert to profile in PS.
    Maybe I'm not getting my head around "the histogram of the proof target."  That would be the more "dramatic" (changed) histogram I'm seeing in LR's soft proof and PS's convert to profile.  But is there a reason to show it that way?  Doesn't a histogram need to be interpreted in a color space to be meaningful?
    If I go ahead with something like a Save for Web or Export from LR in that target color space, I'll then see the histogram return to more or less what it was before (given that rendering intent has done its thing).
    Is it that the more dramatic histogram is simply representing the image in the wrong color space??  I can see that as a pragmatic decision.

    What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running on?
    What are the properties of the media that you have on the Timeline and what is the project preset?
    In the absence of details such as that, I would generalize and suggest that, if applicable for your version, look at
    sharing opportunities under ...Computer/AVCHD and the presets there which are applicable to your situation.
    And, be aware that you can change those settings, if necessary, under the Advanced Button of the preset
    selected.
    Please review and then do not hesitate to ask if you need clarification on anything that I have written. But, please do
    include the details mentioned.
    Thanks.

  • Why does the colour change from web browsers to CS5?

    Hi there
    I´m running OSX 10.6.4 on a MacPro 2009, 2x2.26, 16 gb RAM.
    Photoshop CS5 12.0.1.
    When I import photos from the web (Safari or Firefox) to Photoshop, the colour changes drastically.
    The only time the colours stay the same, is if I set the colour management to North American General Purpose 2, but this is a setting
    I can´t use. I need to use my Spyder 3-calibrated RGB profile as RGB work space, and I use Fogra 27 or a specific cover art profile
    for CMYK use.
    I enclose a screenshot of my settings and the problems that occur.
    Can someone help?
    All the best!
    Hakon, Norway

    When I import photos from the web (Safari or Firefox) to Photoshop, the colour changes drastically.
    Most of the photos on the Web will be un-tagged sRGB (if they have a tag, an embedded profile, Photoshop (and color-managed browsers) will pick up the profile and display it properly...).
    The short answer is to open the un-tagged file in in Photoshop> Edit> Assign Profile: sRGB
    You may know, the Mac OS applies its default Monitor profile to untagged color, whereas, Photoshop will apply its default Working RGB if you tell it not to manage the document...if you have a wide-gamut monitor and Assign MonitorRGB to an sRGB file, you get an intense saturation boost especially in the reds (is a clue).
    YOU MAY BE WISE to set something like sRGB as your Photoshop Working RGB with these Color Management Policies (to try and figure out what's going on)...
    MonitorRGB equals Photoshop WorkingRGB (as you are set up there) is a disaster for any number of reasons — Photoshop already displays through the monitor profile so setting its Working Space to your monitor profile is BAD workflow for 99.99 percent of the users who setup that workflow...

  • What file formats can itunes play?

    After looking at hundreds of posts, I got fed up and decided to ask these questions. What file formats does itunes play and how can you change/adjust them? I thought there was a place to do this when I installed itunes, but I haven't been able to find it so far.
    Thanks

    Thanks for the help, but my question is still unanswered, I want to know how to associate different file types with iTunes, maybe I am not asking the question correctly, or don't know the terminology. I know that my real player can be made to associate different file types from the tools menu, I check off the boxes with the different extensions, like, .mp3, wav, midi, .ogg, etc... I thought there was a feature like this on iTunes, but I can't find it, is it only available when I install it?

  • What file format can be used to play 3D videos on Panasonic TVPlasma3D with USB PenDrive?

    What file format can be used to play 3D videos on Panasonic TVPlasma3D with USB PenDrive?
    I writed to Panasonic Italy support about this question:
    "What file format can be used to play 3D videos on Panasonic TVPlasma3D with USB PenDrive?"
    Panasonic writed me in a very poor manner and said me:
    "...riproduce formati: AVCHD (anche 3D), SD-Video, DivXHD, JPEG, MP3, AAC tramite USB e Slot SD/SDHC/SDXC card..."
    "...formato : AVCHD estensione file nella SD: .MTS..."
    I made a few videos edited with PremiereProCS5 and exported as H.264 Coding and .mp4 file extension, all side by side, with layout 1920x1080pixels that includes two stretched frames at 960x1080 pixels.
    This is the same image layout that uses the Panasonic 3D consumer camcorder "HDC-SDT750", that record AVCHD videos with file extension .MTS.
    I also tried to export another video as MPEG2 with .mpg file extension.
    But at the store the tests failed, and I cannot see anything!
    My questions are:
    1) What format can be used by PremiereProCS5 for exporting the Stereoscopic 3D videoclip and play them via USB port on Panasonic TVPlasma3D such "TX-P46VT20"?
    2) What codec should be used? H.264? H.264-bluray?
    3) What file extension should have the movie file? .mp4?
    Many Thanks!
    Horsepower0171.

    -I already read entirely those threads, but nothing about stereoscopic 3D AVCHD movies through USB port, on Panasonic TVPlasma3D.
    (Also, Sony said me that is not possible to play 3D videos on your 3DTV through USB port).
    I tried to made a H.264 videoclip, with .MP4 extension, at 960x1080p side-by-side layout, but nothing was displayed, and black screen.
    I think that just the AVCHD movies, with .MTS extension, that comes from Panasonic consumer camcorder "HDC-SDT750", can play the 3D videos via HDMI cable, not USB port.
    But not the exported videos from PremierePro via USB port.
    I seen this tutorial from David K Helmly:
    http://www.youtube.com/user/dhelmly#p/a/u/1/_YtF0c2bmkw
    Dave export the video from PremiereProCS5 as "MPEG2-bluray" format with "Match Source Attributes (HighQuality)" Preset, and build the Bluray Disc in EncoreCS5, with the footage as MPEG2 with .m2v file extension:
    1) Anyone tried to play correctly in 3D, those MPEG2-.m2v side-by-side files, in Panasonic3DTV, with BlurayDiscReader?
    2) Why MPEG2.m2v side-by-side?
    3) The official standard stereoscopic 3D format, is not the .MVC (MultiViewCoding) for Bluray3D Disc?
    I am confused!
    Help!

  • What file format is needed to import images files from Lightroom or CC directory?

    I have tried accessing psd, tiff and jpeg files to import them into Adobe Shape.  All have received an error message saying that the file format isn't supported. What file format should I be using for my images in order to import them?
    Thank you!

    If your not going to do any individual layer effects or animation then TIFF's would be generally easier and faster to work with. If you are gong to do some effects and layer animation you should do that in Motion then bring the Motion project into FCP.
    My Opinion, My Two Cents, That's might be what its worth.

  • What file format can Media Services supports?

    Does Azure Media Services support file format such as rmvb or 3gp ,and so on.I want to know what file format I can play with Azure Media Services exactly,Thanks.

    The encoding for Windows Azure Media Services is currently based on Expression Encoder.  Expression Encoder's supported list is at

  • What file formats should I use for maps?

    I've come to the IL forum simply because of the number of file formats IL will process.  My question however is more generic to file formats.
    I work with a large local county government (just as a citizen) and one of the projects we're working on is to get a full suite of maps (and other GIS output) for distribution.  Although they will be made available online, the intent is to print/plot.
    For some maps, we'll want to have the capability to add vector graphics (ovals, rectangles, text, arrows) for highlighting.
    The intent is for the county to provide machine readable GIS output so that we can do our own printing (via Kinkos for example).  We'll also be putting the maps online although only for simple viewing and downloads.
    What file format(s) should I ask to have the map sets in?
    Because I'm a novice when it comes to understand which format to ask for I've done some homework on jpg, tiff, gif, etc.  I think IL will take in any of them and that's where any vector graphics would be added (for print destined output).  I also have FW which could be used for web destined output if needed.
    What is most important is the quality of the printed output so I'm assuming dpi is going to be important.  I'm also assuming that we'll ask for the output to be intended for a rather large plot (e.g. 36" x 48" or perhaps even larger) even though we may not actually produce a map of that size.  For what I've learned on this and other Adobe forums, no matter what file size and format we get, printing to larger paper will eventually lose visible resolution thus the intent to start with the largest we'd ever print.  We might have circumstances where we would crop but again understand what can happen when blowing those up.
    One option, of course, is to have the county produce PDFs.  Is that a good idea for our purpose meaning do we lose anything to have the file format generally acceptable?  I'm assuming somewhere along the process we'll need to produce pdfs for downloads but that may not be the best format to get from the GIS output.
    Keep in mind that we don't have GIS software at present.  In the future we may move to using a GIS viewer which would mean we would have file generation capabilities, but for now, we're going to have to handle non-gis output files.
    I'm not even sure I'm asking the question well so feel free to educate me along the way.  I'm interested in learning.

    (pricy)  I know that may sound strange given having CS2,
    Yep. Sure does. Plus:
    So in comparing prices, be sure to include the costs of the third-party plug-in route, such as MAPublisher (and the associated headaches of mission-critical dependence upon third-party add-ons in general).
    Since IL can take in pdfs and can add vector markup
    Working with PDFs is pretty much universal these days, for practical purposes.
    Understand this about PDFs and Illustrator: Illustrator's Save As...PDF dialog provides an option for "Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities." Selecting that option actually embeds in the resulting file a full duplication of the file as native Illustrator objects. That results in very bloated PDF file sizes--because they contain two full copies of the file.
    That's not what you want to do for PDFs that will be distributed/downloaded. So you're going to want to keep your AI-native files separate anyway. Opening a PDF that was saved without that option turned on in Illustrator is pretty much the same thing as opening it other mainstream drawing progams. So the "seamlessness" of PDF/Illustrator is really much about marketing.
    But no matter. Your mind is already made up to use AI for this. If it were me, I'd be exploring all options.

  • What file format can import?

    imovie version is 7.1. I downloaded some clips from my cell phone onto hard drive and they show up as quick time files, play without difficulty on quicktime player. However, imovie won't import them, says they are not compatible. ?What file formats are compatible? ?Why would apple put quicktime and imovie on my hard drive, but not have them able to use same file type?
    If it is important to know, I imported the files from my cell phone's card; I don't have a cable to attach my phone to USB so I don't have a way to directly try to download from the phone to computer. ?would I be able to import the files from my card to imovie?
    any other solutions?
    all help much appreciated

    The MPEG4 video codec should probably work. However, the audio codec looks like a proprietary codec that is unlikely to work. But it is good news that it will play in QuickTime Player. If QuickTime can read it, you should be able to convert it to a format that iMovie can handle.
    You could do this with QuickTime Pro ($30 from Apple). But there is a free program called MPEG Streamclip (from Squared 5) that will do this. Drag you clip into MPEG Streamclip and then FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME. Choose h.264 or mp4 as your video codec. Choose uncompressed, or AAC, or AIFF, or MP3 as your video codec. AIFF is most likely to work. Keep the dimensions of the clip at "current".
    Be aware that your file is about a quarter of the resolution of a standard definition TV set, so don't expect it to look great. But if you plan to look at it online rather than on a TV or DVD, it should be fine.

  • What file format(s) does iPod classic accept?

    I'm copying my LPs, using a USB turntable and recommended software.  I've been saving the tracks to .AIFF format.  Interestingly, when imported to iTunes, this format plays back on my MacBook Air and iPhone (5C), but not on my iPod classic.  In fact, it renders the iPod inoperable (requiring reset).  What file format (e.g. MP3, MP4, etc.) should I use?

    From the Technical specifications;
    Audio
    Frequency response: 20Hz to 20,000Hz
    Audio formats supported: AAC (8 to 320 Kbps), Protected AAC (from iTunes Store), HE-AAC, MP3 (8 to 320 Kbps), MP3 VBR, Audible (formats 2, 3, 4, Audible Enhanced Audio, AAX, and AAX+), Apple Lossless, AIFF, and WAV
    However, if your iPod is having issues with AIFF format, perhaps your software isn't encoding the files correctly. MP3 is a universal format used by all players, so use that. Apple's preferred format is AAC, but not all non-Apple players can play AAC files. Do not use .wav unless you really need to, it creates very large files to which you cannot add artwork.
