Transparency settings in CMYK

Hi Guys,
I need this background in a print design. It was made in RGB mode by a vector seller but of course when I try to use it in CMYK it gives me the result as shown below.
Who can help me to solve this?
Many thanks!
Bob

The blending modes are struggling with the difference between additive and subtractive color.
Select all
Object>> Flatten transparency (check preserve alpha transparency with slider to 100 vector)
Change color settings (edit> color settings) to emulate Illustrator 6.
Convert to cmyk mode
Or play around with the blending mode of the offending element, screen is usually the problem.

  • "Your current color settings discard CMYK profiles in linked content" error message

    I keep getting the following error message:
    "Your current color settings discard CMYK profiles in linked content but profiles were set to be honored when this document was created."
    every time I open an Illustrator document. I have no idea how this setting was set and no idea how to turn it off. I am just using the standard N America Prepress color setting in Bridge.
    I have tried opening new documents using the supplied Ai CS4 new document profiles, no luck. So I am assuming it's a pref that is set in the app itself, yet I have no idea how to change this setting? I don't even see anything referring to a setting like this.
    I found this archived discussion: http://www.adobeforums.com/webx?128@@.59b58d84 which had no resolution. Thought I would throw it out there again and see if anyone has been able to fix this. It drives me insane having to deal with that error every time I open a saved document.

    To disable the alert via scripting you can use the following line:
    app.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevel.DONTDISPLAYALERTS;
    Put it in a function with null return and call the fuction where you want to supress any error dialog.
    Mind you this would supress all the alert dialogs of the Illustrator App. 

  • Transparency settings lost but effects still there?!

    A very strange thing has happened to my InDesign CS3 file. I pasted a solid-color vector object from Illustrator directly into InDesign, so that I could change the color, etc. I applied a transparency setting within InDesign (screen, 25%) and placed the vector within a frame to crop it. Somehow, those settings disappeared and yet the effect is still there. (When I check the transparency settings it says Normal, 100%.) The printer couldn't get the vector to print at all, from either a PDF/X-1a or from the native file. I am at a total loss on this and my printer is not happy. I can recreate the effect and re-send a file, but any ideas how or why this happened?
    Many thanks.

    Hi Lauren,
    Got your file this morning and I've looked at it.
    In your post and email you said the blend mode had disappeared, but this isn't really the case. The blend mose was applied to the grouped componenets which were then pasted into the frame over the color bar. To see the blend mode you have to get that group re-selected. Probably the easiest way to do that is to select the frame, then right-click and choose Select > Content.
    When you do that you'll see the blend mode and transparency setting. Contrary to the description you've provided, the blend mose is lighten, not screen, and that seems to be the problem, though I have no idea why (I really don't know a whole lot about how blending modes are accomplished), though I suspect it has to with trying to lighten a color with black. Changing the blend mode to screen, as you thought it was, seems to work.

  • Transparency Settings: OuterGlow Size

    Hi there,
    I've got an big problem with my AppleScript for InDesign CS4. I would like; that my script apply some object effect with one click for my selection in my current InDesign Document. Here's my script:
    tell application "Adobe  InDesign CS4"
        set dieBreite to page width of document preferences of active document
        --activate
        tell active document
            set mySelection to selection
            if (count mySelection) is 0 then
                display dialog "Please select an Object"
            else
                tell the selection
                    tell transparency settings
                        --set properties of outer glow  settings to {applied:true, blend mode:screen, size:150, effect  color:"Paper", opacity:100, technique:softer}
                        --set properties of  blending settings to {blend mode:normal, opacity:60.0}
                        tell outer glow settings
                            set applied to true

                    end tell
                end tell
            end if
        end tell
    end tell
    The Problem is the size; how can I make it higher than 140 points? I would like to have 150 points. Any ideas?
    Hope you can help me, and sorry for my english.

  • CS3: "Your current color settings discard CMYK profiles..." warning!?!?

    Why am I getting this error?
    My file contains two CMYK colors, nothing else?
    Saved .ai WITH color profiles...
    Thanks,
    Kristin.
    "Your current color settings discard CMYK profiles in linked content but profiles were set to be honored when this document was created."

    actually, it means exactly what it says.
    When the document was created, whether by you on your machine, or by someone else on another machine, or the various possible permutations thereof, the document was initially saved with profiles of linked files set to be honored. Now you are working on it with your color settings set to discard profiles on linked files.
    If you don't have any linked files, this won't affect anything with this file.
    The way you have it set up now is generally the preferred way.
    If you want to get rid of the warning, copy everything out of this file and paste it into a new file. Work on the new file from here on out.
    Doing a "save as" might work, I've never tried that.

  • Your Current color settings honor CMYK profiles in linked content but profiles were set to be ignored when document was created

    "Your Current color settings honor CMYK profiles in linked content but profiles were set to be ignored when document was created"
    I keep receiving this message on my illustrator files. They are linked to a file in Indesign that when saved as a PDF prints the wrong colors. I have been trying to fix this for two days. I have look online for answer in forums and articles and nothing works i am completely burn out, lost and angry Please help. This is a Picture book project that can not to sent to the author in this condition.

    Your Illustrator files have images linked in them?
    THis message tells you that color management had been set up differently when you created the document. In color management settings you have the choice if color profiles in linked images are ignored (and Illustrator uses just the CMYK numbers) or if those profiles are honored (and Illustrator converts the CMYK numbers according to the image profile and your settings into the Illustrator document's color profile).
    What makes the whole thing even more complicated is that you placed the thing into InDesign.
    So there might be 4 different color profiles interacting with each other:
    1. the linked image's profile
    2. the AI document's color profile
    3. the InDesign document's color profile
    4. The export profile in InDesign.
    Is your color management set up and synchronized in Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign?
    Is it possible to place the images directly in InDesign? That is: create vector content in Illustrator and have photos separately? Then combine them in Illustrator?
    How do you know they print the wrong colors? Just seeing them on your monitor won't tell you, unless your system is correctly color calibrated.

  • Problems with transparency settings

    Hello everyone
    I'm having some problems with the transparency settings of my u3d model when I import it in a new Acrobat sheet. I defined an animation with some transparencies in 3D Toolkit and when I import the whole animation into Acrobat 3D the transparency settings disappear, the whole model can be seen. Any ideas why?
    Thank you

  • Save For Web transparency problem: Overprint & CMYK documents

    OK, I had a weird problem crop up today (as far as I can tell) completely out of the blue.
    When I am working in overprint preview mode in a CMYK document, and I attempt to save an artboard as a PNG w/ transparency (via Save for Web), illustrator forces a white background throughout the image. It didn't do this until this morning. Yesterday, it was working perfectly normally. I put the computer to sleep at the end of the day, woke it up this morning, and for some reason this behavior has changed.
    It does not do this if the document is in RGB mode, or I have the transparency grid shown, or not in overprint preview mode. (I work in this mode because for some reason having it in standard preview shows very strange artifacts when working with raster effects, which drives me crazy)
    I'm on a Mid 2014 MBP Retina, 2.5 GHz Intel Core i7, 16GB 1600MHz DDR3 w/ NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2048MB, running illustrator CC 2014.1.1.
    I have tried uninstalling, reinstalling, restarting the computer, resetting all settings, as well as changing document settings, and editing artboard settings. And yes, the transparency checkbox is checked in the Save For Web dialog.
    Any ideas?

    brnscreative,
    Have you tried 4) and 6) on the list?
    4) is more thorough than 3), and 6) is the full reinstallation.
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you may find the folder here:
    https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/preference-file-location-illustrator.html
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

  • Gnome 3 issues - transparency, settings lost

    Hi!
    I'm not much of a Linux-expert, although I try my best becoming one, so please be patient with me.
    Yesterday I tried Ubuntu 11.04 beta and I was just shocked from the new GUI. I read somewhere that Ubuntu's Unity or something made the new Gnome GUI a lot worse, so I decided to give it a try with Arch.
    I made a fresh install and as usual I followed the beginner's guide, etc. When everything seemed to be done, I started exploring the new things and while doing so I read about gnome-tweak-tool and dconf-editor and wanted to try them.
    This is when I encountered my first problems. Changing the gnome-terminal keys worked fine, but anything else like showing the date on the clock, middle click on the title bar for minimizing the window did not.
    I tried it using sudo, did not work.
    The same thing happened when I tried to change the time and date settings to Network Time: ON but just like before with dconf-editor, after closing the window nothing happened, everything was just like before, Network Time was set to OFF.
    So, this is my first problem, I can't change things. I don't have any idea what is wrong, but I'd like to know.
    The next is that when I made the gnome-terminal's background to transparent, no matter what I tried to do, it did not work as intended (or as I imagine it should be). It was as if a black wall would be behind the white background of the window.
    I saw this happening some time ago when I tried XFCE and the composition was turned off, but now in Gnome 3 everything seems to work fine, cool transparency behind the Applications on the Activities(?) panel, animated effects, windows maximizing when pulled to the top of the screen.
    I know (or rather I think) that instead of Compiz, Gnome 3 uses Mutter, but I can't find any configuration for that.
    So if anyone familiar with Gnome 3 could help me, I'd really appreciate it.
    Thanks in advance,
    Martin

    Sorry for double post, tho I don't think I will try to ask anything anymore.
    I reinstalled arch linux with gnome 3, but I still have my mentioned first problem.
    Dconf-editor seems missing some options I need. I made a screenshot just to make it clear what I'm talking about.
    Here's the one I found on the internet:

    Here's mine:

  • How to change settings from CMYK to RGB in illustrator and photoshop

    Everything is in CMYK and I need to change it to RGB for my M2 dtg garment printer, because my colors on shirts are not coming out right.  My rip software for printer is in RGB.  When I open new file in illustrator and click advanced to change to RGB I get a little warning saying;  The chosen color mode is different from the color space defined by the Document Profile.  Panel content may not match the new color mode.

    First choose "Basic RGB" for Profile in the New Document Dialog, then adjust any advanced settings.

  • Your current color settings discard CMYK profiles in linked content but profiles were set to be honoured when this document was created

    Hi,
    So this dialog has been bugging me for years! Yes, YEARS! Could never get rid of it. Tried deleting Ai Color prefs file etc etc nothing. It pops up even when there's no linked content on ALL .ai files regardless.
    I always have "Convert to working space" for both RGB and CMYK on and unchecked missing profiles/mismatch when opening.
    Would love if someone could shed some light as I have an unusual amount of files to go through this week and it's pretty annoying to have to hit enter overtime I open a file.
    Thanks!

    That means that the Illustrator document has an embedded profile.
    If you want to get rid of the message, go to your Color Settings > Color Management Policies > CMYK and change that to: Preserve Embedded Profiles.

  • How do I change the Transparency Settings in ACR 8.7.1?

    I work on three different computers, one at home and two at work. In Camera Raw on my home computer the transparency section of an image where I have done a major perspective correction will have the checkerboard rendering of the transparency section. Of the two computers at work, one will display the checkerboard pattern and the other displays dark gray. I prefer the dark gray over the checkerboard but cannot find the setting. Scott Kelby's CS6 book for Digital Photographers has the dark gray view in his tutorial on page 69 and references the dark gray area as if it was the default color. Any help?  

    You can't change the transparency colour. What you might be seeing is a change in colour between different versions of Camera Raw.

  • CS4-Vista-Transparancy Settings Broke.

    When I go to Edit>Preferences>Transparency & Gamut Im forced to use custom because the presets are very dark. Ive tried holding crtl+alt+shift at start and delete the setting but that did nothing. I also checked to make sure the drivers are up to date, I even uninstalled and reinstalled the program.
    Anyone have any clue what could cause this?

    I figured it out.
    It Is Alien Skins software that has done it. I went to the other computer and installed Alien Skin Eye Candy Impact and then the problem arose.

  • Color shift on random pages

    Hi Everyone,
    So I've been scouring the internet and the Adobe forums trying to find out a) what caused this and b) how can I fix it.
    I'm working on a document that is set in CMYK and uses vector graphics I have created on the Master Page. Every page uses the Master Page, however, for SOME reason, every other page, the color shifts. So far, all of the problems and solutions out there are in regards to color profiles... but how is this possible when it's the images on the Master page that is being altered, and it's random!
    On one page, the image is in what appears to be CMYK, then you go to the next page, and it's RGB! Then RGB on the next but then back to CMYK on the next! I've tried converting my profiles, I've even tried enabling pop up with profile mismatch solutions when it's reopened, I've tried changing the transparency settings from CMYK to RGB and back again, and nothing seems to work. It's really irritating and I'm about to scrap this whole document and start a new one and see if it continues to do that. But I really don't want to because we're 95% with the project.
    I would think that what ever it is set to in the Master page, it would remain consistent from one page to the next. And then if it was going from CMYK to RGB on ALL the pages, that's fine, I can fix that, but I can't get the pages to be consistent.
    Any help is very appreciative.

    Ok, I double checked a lot of things and here is all the info:
    The vector file that I am using on the Master page (as a footer graphic) is RGB.
    All of the pages have some element overlaying it, some pages only have a text box that drops down to partially cover it (not the color part, a white area), and some have an image. But there is no consistency with this information as it literally just seems to be random pages. If it were text boxes causing the issue, wouldn't it affect all the pages that have text boxes touching this region?
    The Transparency blend is set to RGB.
    Here are some screenshots.
    Here is page 9 how it looks in InDesign showing all of the element box lines:
    And page 9 how it looks in the PDF:
    Now, here is page 14 in InDesign:
    And page 14 in the PDF:
