Viewer and browser color doesn't match on screen

curious about what is going on.
Attached is a link to a screen grab.
The left side is the viewer in apple. The center is the browser in apple. The far right is the same image uploaded into the zenfolio website.
What am I doing wrong?

I don't know the exact answer, but when people have asked about problems like these on Adobe's own Photoshop forums, it is often related to the graphics card driver. You can try experimenting to see if it changes if you turn off OpenGL in the Photoshop preferences. If it does behave differently then, it could be a graphics driver issue. That's all I know...for more, you might ask on Adobe's forum.

[help] images colors doesn't match

Hello, when I place an image inside a new document the colors doesn't match with original.
For sample I save in tiff format from photoshop a rich black (70% 50% 30% 100%) when I place inside illustrator I get (86,01% 84,97% 78,95% 100%).
The color profile are syncronized and I use Europe General Purpose 2 (CMYK Coated FOGRA27 ISO12647-2:2004)

How do you know what values the bitmap image has in Illustrator? Did you pick up the color with the Color Picker? It's possible this originally picked up the value in RGB, and that got converted.
Does Illustrator have a CMYK separation preview such as InDesign, where you can measure the original TIFF values? If not, you can also save as PDF and examine that in Acrobat, using the Output Preview.

Font in Design View different from font in Live View and browser preview

My external style sheet has the body set for a sans-serif font and there is nothing to contradict it in the HTML documents. But while I get sans-serif in the Design View (as you would expect), I get a serif font in Live View and Browser Preview, not to mention on the Web itself.
How is this possible (and what should I do about it)?

Murray and David: it worked! It is a rare and joyous experience to have a straightforward solution to the sorts of problems I come up with (including other realms). But I have to say that with HTML and CSS (and hence with Dreamweaver), solutions to difficulties have seemed within easier reach than in other parts of the computer world.
By the way, I wanted to choose "correct answer" for both your posts, but after making the first click it was no longer available for the remaining post--so I typed "helpful" even though that one was correct too.
Thanks again.

Images not showing in viewer and browser

I've been using Apreture 2.1.1 without any problems until yesterday. Even though all my projects are in tact, I can no longer see the images in the Aperture viewer and browser. I really don't know how this happened. To rectify the problem I did the following:
1. Verified and repaired the Disk using Disk Utility
2. Logged in in Safe mode and did the above
3. Uninstalled Aperture, removed all reference files and re-installed
4. Opened the Library and photos are all intact.
5. Uninstalled Aperture and re-installed the 2.0 version
I did all the above but still have the same issue. Just can't figure out what is wrong here.
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
thanks
ps. Forgot to add this: It also crashes when I want to quit it

did you dump the preferences and appropriate other files? prior to the reinstall? otherwise if any of those files are bad you'll be installing aperture with the same possibly corrupt files.
your problem sounds like a hard drive or cable issue, have you swapped out cables?
what cable are you using? eSATA? FW800?

Design view and browser view in DW are different than when I view from local folder

I'm brand new to Dreamweaver CS5.5 and here is my problem:
I've made an html page in dreamweaver with a banner, with an additional graphic and some text on top of the banner. It displays just fine in every browser when I view from the local folder, but when I open DW and view, it displays incorrectly in all three design, live and browser views within DW. If I make changes to the css file until it views correctly in design view, it no longer displays correctly from the local folder and it still doesn't view correctly in live or browser view within DW. If what I'm doing isnt going to display accurately in any of the views provided by Dreamweaver as compared to the live server, whats the point in having this software? I could just keep building webpages in notepad and uploading with CoreFTP.
Any suggestions? Is it some setting that I dont know about that I need to change within DW? Please help.

align="center" is deprecated (obsolete) code in XHTML & HTML5 doc types. Instead of styling markup with HTML, you should be using CSS.
CSS
.center {text-align:center}
HTML
<p class="center">some centered text here</p>
With respect to break tags, in XHTML doc types the correct syntax is <br /> not <br>. However your usage of line breaks is inconsistent with good symantic markup. Use headings <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> for important keywords. Use <p> for descriptive paragraphs. Use <ul> <li> or <ol> <li> for lists. Line breaks should be used minimally if ever.
XHTML doc types require all tags to be lowercase. Uppercase tags will throw errors.
Your design is too rigid. When text size is increased in browsers, your content is unreadable. See screenshot.
SOLUTIONS:
1) DO NOT USE POSITION ABSOLUTE. You don't need it. Absolute positioning removes content from the normal document flow resulting in a jumbled mess. Use default CSS positioning (none) with margins, padding & floats to align elements.
2) Remove HEIGHT values from all CSS containers. Height limits a container's capacity to hold more content when needed. Container height should always be determined by the amount of content it holds; not explicit values. If required to reveal a background image, for example, use CSS min-height instead of height.

Viewer and External Monitor doesn't playback at same time

When watching clips in the viewer window, they playback fine. But on my external monitor, it only shows the first frame from when it's played. when I stop playback, the external monitor then shows the last frame the Viewer window is stopped on. How can I fix it so that the viewer and external monitor playback the clip at the same time?
At the moment we're digitizing footage with the Offline RT Photo JPEG codec set to 75% quality.
A few days ago we were digitizing footage at 35% quality and that footage plays back fine. We moved to 75% quality at the editor's request. A few days ago we had created a few sample 75% quality tests for the editor to view. I loaded those clips into Final Cut right now and they playback fine as well. So it's all of a sudden just these new clips created yesterday :S.

Yes.
Forgot to mention that the timeline plays all the footage back properly on both the canvas window and the external monitor. Sorry for not mentioning that sooner.
More discoveries! The playback 'freeze' only happens if I open a clip from the browser into the viewer. If I open a clip from the timeline into the viewer, it plays-back fine!

Printing from InDesign and Photoshop - colors don't match

I'm printing the same CMYK image from Photoshop and from InDesign, to a HP desktop color printer. I'm using CS3, all the color settings are identical in both programs, but the printed colors don't match. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
(cross-posted in InDesign forum)

I have had the same problem: an image printed from PS differs from the same image printed from ID. However, I can't very well print as bitmap from ID since the image is part of a spread, including text. I have tried various combinations of settings. I made the PS image to 100% of the ID final size (in the layout). I tried various print dialogue settings (high transparency flattener, medium transparency flattener, color managed, not color managed, CMYK output and leave unchanged ... every combination I could think of). ID does something on printer output. My understanding (at least from CS2) was that ID output to printer uses a PDF format of some sort. I had the idea maybe the ID output did some sort of resampling or re-rendering of the image, but have not prooved that out. I did get some slight improvement in the ID output when the image in the ID layout was put in at 100% (whereas it had been 88% (the original image being bigger than the ID layout size). What I am getting now in CS3 is a clean looking photo in PS, but in ID, skin tones look somewhat blotchy and a bit more saturated. The PS image is better than ID, and while ID is not bad, why is it not as clean as PS? I can definitely see the difference between PS and ID output and know it will show on press, too. Any suggestions?

Wrong position of objects / difference between editor view and browser view.

Dear Adobe
System info: Mac OS X 10.9, Muse 7.1 Build 329, Chrome, Safari and Firefox in the newest versions.
I use Muse since version 5 and this effect does exist 'til today (v7.1) without any changes.
Many times i have differences in the position of placed objects. But this missbehaviour is not realy logical. For example take a look to this illustration:
Left: Muse Editor, right: Browser (in this case its chrome, but the effect is identical in safari and firefox too)
Left you see one pixel space between the blue bar and the shadow (image-object). In the browser is the space bigger (2px). When i move the shadow-object in muse one pixel higher, then look this so:
The shadow is now within the bluebar. The position has changed in muse for 1 pixel, in browser around 7 pixels... i don't see, why.
Another example:
Left Muse Editor, right Browser... do you see the dramatic difference between?
I hope, this problem can be solved with a future version...
Best regards
Michael

This variation is due to the difference in the layout of text between Design view and Preview, which is representative of the variations that exist between browsers, OSes, devices and individual versions of each of those.
It's impossible to reverse engineer the structure of the objects from the screenshots, but how the objects or individual sized and positioned relative to one another is key to understanding (and explaining) what you're encountering.
If you provide the URL for this page I'll attempt take a look at it and provide some guidance for how to achieve the effect you're looking for within the constraints inherent in working with live text on the web.

Color shift between viewer and browser after pro kit update

hi there,
i thought i be one of the lucky guys since updating and running 3.0.1 was easy on my system. but after yesterdays pro kit update i experience a weird color shift between the look of pictures in the browser and viewer.
there is a strong colorshift in orange parts of sundown pictures. they turn magenta in the viewer but stay orange in the browser. the difference can easily be seen in the split screen. even weirder if i export a picture from the vier/split screen the exported files show the magenta tint. if i export them from the browser, they have the "right" orange tint.
this happens with raw-files from both d200 and d70. also exportet the raw and processed it with ps cs3 and everything was ok. anyone got a clue?
thanx in advance

just found the explanation. after my prokit update, all raw-files needed to be reprocessed and then i needed to select the standard apple camera module for the d200. that was quite tricky and i don't understand why something like this happens. why do all files need to be reprocessed and than afterwards you would have to manually select the apple standard converter and why did the viewer look different than the browser and why is there no warning module that tell you all files will have to be reprocessed?

PSE 7 bright vivid colors, doesn't match prints

I tried searching for a thread to answer this question but I could not find something that really helped specifically.
Use PSE7 to edit my jpg's and when I'm happy with the results then go to print, my prints do not match what I created on screen. The colors are much darker, the rich greens in my landscapes are dull with a dark tint..overall, quite disappointing.
I use a Spyder 3 pro to calibrate my monitor and use that profile as the printing profile for PSE7. I shoot a Canon 40d in sRGB. My monitor and printer (Canon MP600) are set to use the profile created by the Spyder 3 Pro software.
When I use Canon Digital Photo Pro to edit raw images, the colors on screen are consistent with what I get printed on my Canon MP600. The main difference here is that Canon DPP allows you to select the profile for image display and for printing.
Does PSE7 allow you to somehow select from your list of available profiles what color profile to be used for display? Out of the color management options, I've tried to use the "Optimize for display" and "Optimize for printing" options..."no color management" and "let me choose.." still no difference in the prints vs. the screen.
If I take a file that I printed in Canon DPP, where the colors on screen match what is printed, and then open that same file in PSE7, the colors on screen are much different...they are much brighter and vivid than what I see in Canon DPP.
All I can do in Canon DPP is edit raw files and do the basic color editing...Obviously, PSE7 has many more features and plugins that are useful so I'd like to work in that program and print from there.
If I do all my editing of a file in PSE7 until I'm happy, my prints still won't match what I see in PSE7. If I take that file and open it in Canon DPP, the colors are different, but they match what came out of the printer, albeit...darker and not vivid

Thanks..that did the trick. I feel like a big dummy now
I got the explanation of the printer/paper profiles for my printer on the Canon website.
The prints are MUCH closer...the only difference I can tell now is eliminated when I use a good light to view my prints, when held up to a good light or sunlight, the prints are very true to what I see on the screen.
thanks

Canvas color doesn't match QT output - help!

I noticed today that my footage is appearing darker in the canvas window than it does when viewed in QuickTime. I did the following test:
1. Export a "Quicktime Movie", not self-contained, and opened that in QuickTime. Move to a specific frame for comparison.
2. Move to the same frame in the FCE canvas.
The image in the canvas looks markedly darker - to the point that I would make color corrections on it...but looking at the QT version, it seems correction is not necessary. They're quite different.
I've uploaded a screenshot of both windows next to each other here, which makes the difference obvious:
http://idisk.mac.com/gr2020-Public/canvas-qt.png
I see the same thing when exporting and compressing with QT...I first noticed the problem when making a video for the web.
Can someone please help me figure out what's going on?

I did some more research, and I think I figured out what's going on.
I think FCE (and FCP from what I'm reading) assumes your monitor is calibrated to a gamma of 1.8, and it "darkens" the images in the canvas to make them appear as they would on a gamma 2.2 display or a video monitor (which are apparently natively close to 2.2).
However, if your screen is calibrated to gamma 2.2 (most photo editing workstations are), then FCE still "darkens" everything in the canvas (it's assuming it's gamma 1.8), and in the process totally screws things up.
When videos are exported, this adjustment doesn't occur, so the video looks as it should. It's only inside the canvas that things are artificially adjusted, and everything gets messed up.
Sigh.
Assuming this is in fact what's happening, anyone have ideas how to fix this? It's totally annoying; my screen is calibrated very specifically for my still photography work, and I'd hate to have to have a totally separate display profile just work working within FCE, and then switch back to the regular one when viewing exported videos...

Viewsonic monitor color doesn't match MacAir

I'm trying to set up the sRGB color space on my ViewSonic monitor to match the sRGB color space on my MacAir, but it's just not working. The brightness on the VS monitor dims when I select sRGB and the Brightness Adjust option grays out so I can select it to increase it. The colors are barely close - what looks reddish brown on my Air looks more yellow-brown on the VS.
I'm a professional photographer. I need for these colors to be accurate. Suggestions?
Thanks very much,
Roxyanne Young

Hello Roxyanne,
The sRGB option on the monitor is a standard default color pallet for the internet. You can calibrate your monitor by going to System Preferences on your MacBook Air.

Same color doesn't match across documents

I have a document set up to cmyk preview and proof setup of working cymk us web coated (swop) v2. In this document I'm using a pantone solid coated reflex blue c. If I copy the object with that color to a new document the color drastically changes even though it's the same reflex blue. Notice in the image below, the blue is much richer. I've had three other people with illustrator/print background look at this and we've compared every setting we can think of but can't figure out why it's doing this. Any one have an idea? We need to match the blue on the right in the image below but for the life of us we can't. It always comes out somewhere between the two blues shown. Thanks.

Why is your color mode set to "CMYK" and not "Book Color"?
Drag the reflex blue swatch from the Pantone palette to the swatches palette and choose merge colors.
If you ever tweak a color, which is perfectly fine for getting betting color proofs out of a color proofer, always give it a differentt name (eg: PANTONE Reflex Blue C(cmyk))
