When replacing a page - the colour changes (to CMYK?)!

Hi,
I use Acrobat 8 Pro.
Out of a PowerPoint document I created a PDF-file. This file looks fine. In it I made buttons for navigation.
A few pages in the PowerPoint document was updated and new PDF-files were created and saved as a separate file. They too look fine.
When replacing the original PDF pages with the new updated they suddenly change colour! It started out being RGB colours but now it looks more like as if it turned into CMYK colours in those pages. What happened? How can I avoid this?
Help!

Thanks for the nice reply. Finally felt like I am actually talking to a real person. Funny how Adobe does not spend money on that type of support because that is where they will find out what people would like in future versions.
Microsoft has a better forum in that sense since people working at MS actually also answer questions - but I had a funny answer once when asking (an employee at the forum) if they were actually happy with Office 2008 (and all it's bugs). He answered... "Well, of course us working with the forum would have liked a few improvements but for the most part the people developing Office are really nice" ... uhh.. what? Does that help me as a customer? I thought it was kinda funny. :-)
I don't expect the programs to be absolutely perfect but listening and helping your customers is important I think.

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.

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.

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!

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...

When I insert my logo into a title, the colour changes. How do I stop this happening?

I have an EPS file of my logo. It is one solid colour, Upsdell Red. When I open it in Photoshop, the colour is correct. When I open it in Preview, the colour is correct. However, when I put it in Premiere Pro, it suddenly becomes a bright blood red? How can I fix this?!

Instead of dropping it into a title just drop it on the timeline.

Why does the colours change when I import a video?

When I play my fresh footage in quicktime the colours look fine, as soon as I add the footage to final cut the colouring goes all odd. It has a Red tinge to it and the blues look as if they have turned to a sort of purple? They look like this in 'All Clips' and the previewer, yet when I look at the timeline the colours look ok.
I've also made 'All' is selected on the channels so it isn't that. Is there a way I can do a mass reset on Final cut to put it right? Does this on all videos I import and events I create!

I can't even see where that setting is.. for my information all the footage is from a GoPro so what I've had to do is convert them to .mov and Apple ProRes 422 now. Now when I have them in final cut the samples in 'All Clips' and in the time line look ok in till I hover over them and then they have the red hint again, they do how ever export the right colour now but this is going to make colour correction difficult

When I open Pages the template chooser doesn't open even though i have chosen that in preferences

In Pages preferences, I have chosen to open the template chooser window, but for some reason when I open Pages, it continually opens in a finder type window and I have to choose "new document" and then I will get the template chooser window...is this correct?

Thank you so much, Picas! I was going crazy thinking I had corrupted some preference...I am new to Macs!

I am creating an I-Web webpage. When I add pages, the only way to navigate throught the pages is with the menu bar on the left. How do I navigate to each page on the actual website?

I am creating a website using i-web. When I add pages, they appear at the top of the webpage, but I cannot navigate to each page in the navigation bar. I can only navigate in the menu bar located on the left side of the program.
How do I navigate thru the website?

You don't unfortunately, iWeb though great does not allow that funtion.
If it is a deal breaker for you I would suggest SandVox or RapidWeaver.
I personal like SandVox

Can I easily change the colour of one CMYK channel?

Hi. I'm still working in Photoshop CS6.
I'm working on packaging that requires two blacks to print on the pack, so I'm trying to just quickly change the Black channel in the photoshop file to a Pantone Black. Now it's easy to duplicate the black layer and rename it as a spot black and then just delete the normal black layer. The problem I'm having though, is that the image has a transparent background with different levels of transparency, and as soon as I delete the original process black channel it completely flattens the image so I lost all transparency. Does anyone know if there's an easy way to replace the channel without losing transparency, or if there is any way to store the transparency of the image so I can delete it out of the background again after I've replaced the black channel? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi, sorry. I did say layer where I meant channel. I'm just trying to replace the black channel in the CMYK with a spot colour. But that changes the transparent .psd into a multichannel file, which then flattens the image onto a white background and loses all transparency. All I want to know is if there is a way to create a multichannel image with transparency in photoshop. Unfortunately I can't post the image yet, as the packaging upgrade is not in market yet. I've found a workaround for now, but once the product is in market I'll upload some screenshots to see if there is a way we can figure it out, or I'll create a different image some time when I have a chance.

I have iMac OS 10.6.8 and FF 6.0.1 when I print pages, the type is large and does not print on the page. Safari does not have this problem. How do I fix this, or return to lower FF version ?

To clarify, when I print the text is so large that it exceeds the page width. I can print same doc using Safari without any problems

The sound seems very faint but can here static on playback.

Notes - After viewing an old page, the date changes to today.

Can I edit the date in Notes as it seems to revert to TODAY when I'm viewing old pages in Notes?

No, you can't.
However you can sort by created date, or alphabetically, rather than modified date, if you wish.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If it takes good pictures for stills and videos and the panos are just poor try excellent light to see if that is the problem.
