Why are my PMS colors different in CS3 & CS6?

I originally created a label in CS3, and just had to make a new one a different size. When I did the new art in CS6, the PMS colors are way different! I basically copied and pasted the old art into the new file. I have replaced all PMS colors, but they still do not match the old version. What's up?? Can anyone shed some light on this? The original version (in CS3) is on the left and the new art in CS6 is on the right. Thanks!

Thanks Monika, but, OMG, I feel a headache coming on! =( So, is it better to stay with the new Pantone Plus colors, or convert to the older version? How will this effect reprinting of jobs, if the client makes changes and I resave the file in CS6? Will the color be different now, if saved in the Pantone Plus? Maybe I need to do more reading up on this!

Why are the primary colors located on the vectorscope where they are?

It seems that things would be simpler if one of the primary colors were at the top, bottom, left, or right of the vectorscope. Why is that not the case, and why are the primary colors located on the vectorscope where they are?

Probably really only because of tradition based on the way analog vectorscopes drew the trace.
Notice that red is farther out in an analog system, but smaller allowances in digital systems.

Why are printer managed color prints different from Photoshop managed color prints using the same color profile?.

I'm using Photoshop 13.0.1, Windows 7, to print images using custom color profiles made with an XRite colorimeter. However, when I print the image using Printer Manages Color, it is not the same as Photoshop Manages the colors and selecting the Canon ICC profile that (Canon 7200 MP2) that is the same as the printer managed settings. Why are these prints not the same if the same color profile is being accessed??

Hi WA Veghe,
>First: DO synchronize, makes sure you have the same profile settings and color mange settings.
I don't seem to be able to synchronize between CS4 (Photoshop) and CS3 (Indesign).
It seems I have to do without synchronizing..
>I do not seem to find HOW you are diplaying images on you screen: with Soft proofing?
What happens if you soft proof in Photoshop and InDesign on screen: View > Proof colors. Do you proof with the same profiles, both simulate paper and black on?
I can simulate Proof Colors (working CMYK), but not simulate Paper, both in Indesign and Photoshop.
Problem is: SAME settings in Photoshop and Indesign BUT the image displayed in Photoshop is brighter and more saturated.
So which image should I correct after?
thanks for all help

Why are my Tritone colors faded?

Hello,
I just taught myself how to convert an RGB image to a TRITONE image, but the TRITONE colors look faded (the 2 PMS colors, not the black). Please tell me what I did wrong.
This is what I did...
Image > Mode > Grayscale
Image > Mode > Duotone
Selected black ink & 2 PMS colors
Image > Mode > Multichannel
Erased the parts of each channel where I didn't want that color
And here are two further questions...
1. Converting to Duotone forced me to flatten the image. What if I want to quickly edit the image again? Is there anyway to preserve my layers so I don't have to go back to an earlier saved version and convert to Duotone all over again?
2. What format should I save the file in if I want to import it into InDesign? I was told "DCS file (Single File with Color Composite)," but can I also use TIFF or even PSD?
Thanks,
Pablo

I think I just figured out part of my problem. I was converting my color text to grayscale, so it became gray and not black, and that's why it looked faded when I converted it to TRITONE.
Now I can create a TRITONE image that looks correct in Photoshop, but still looks a little faded when I import it into InDesign and then export it as a PDF.
Could this be because I didn't save it in the proper Photoshop file format?
Photoshop only gives me 4 file format options to save in, and InDesign CS4 only accepts one, .EPS
Otherwise I got the error, "This files uses an unsupported color space."
However, there are several .EPS options. I chose "Single File with Color Composite".

HT201210 Why are my ipad colors are all green and pink?

Why are my I pad2 colors all green and pink?

Because something is wrong.
To fix, try:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset : Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings.
If still problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Why are my photos arranged differently on my ipad to my computer

why are the photos on my ipad album in a different order to that on my computer?

What version of iOS is your iPad on ? From here :
If you are not using iPhoto or Aperture on Mac OS X, and if your device is using the latest software, it sorts photos in ascending order by the Date Modified.
iOS 4 sorts photos by the Date Taken tag of the photos. iOS 3.1.3 and earlier sort photos alphanumerically by the photos' file names.
So if you want them in a different order, depending upon your iOS version you will either need to modify the 'date modified', 'date taken' or their filenames

Why are filenames highlighted in different colors?

Just upgraded from 10.2 to 10.4 i believe and im noticing filenames ALL OVER the place with different colors to them and i cant figure out any system to it, what is that all about?

This means that the files have a label assigned to them; Mac OS X 10.2 will not display labels in the Finder but Mac OS 9.x, Mac OS X 10.3 and newer systems will. To turn off a label, control-click the file in the Finder and click the x furthest to the left under Color Label. The files may have color labels because they were set that way when they were placed onto the hard disk, or if the label has been changed after putting them on.

10.4.5: why are my highlight colors wrong?

no matter what highlight color i choose in the Appearance prefs pane, i get a different color - or, more accurately, a very different shade of the same color - in some places. when i select text in a text-editing app (or right here in Safari), for example, i get the highlight color i chose in the Appearance prefs pane, but if, say, i choose any shade of pure yellow for my highlight color in the prefs pane, my messages in Mail.app are highlighted in this positively repugnant bile green. if i choose a pale purple highlight color, messages in Mail.app are highlighted in a deep purple. and so on.
why is this? if i wanted disobedient computers, i'd run Windows boxes.
thanks.

pray, good van malsen, exactly whom do you imagine me to have insulted, and when and how?
methinks thine imagination doth run amok.
i can appreciate, however, that no one has an answer to either of the questions i posted a week or two ago. but i do think it sad that we're cut loose to drift around out here on our own.
i used to see Apple Computer as an ally, a compatriot in the fight against conformity, mediocrity, the mindless acceptance and consumption of whatever user-hateful garbage rolled out of Redmond. i saw Apple Computer, and the Macintosh, as a cause, and one well worthy of my staunchest support.
it's different now though. the warmth, the fun and the color are gone (well, unless your idea of "colorful" is light blue), replaced with cold, gray (and light blue) efficiency and an increasing indifference toward the needs and desires of users. and one attempt to use .mac's sync function is all it takes to call into question the notion of efficiency as well.
oh, i don't have the energy for this. i'm just heartbroken at the death of the soul of Apple Computer.

Why does Photoshop display colors differently from the other applications even in sRGB mode ?

Hello all !
Here is my problem :
Photoshop is set to use sRGB workspace (in edit/colors.../workspace/RVB).
If I understand correctly this is how all native windows applications work.
This means Photoshop and the other applications should display the same colors on a file with a sRGB profile.
Now this is the case until I calibrate my monitor.
When I do, Photoshop colors become different from the other applications (irfanview, explorer, browsers...).
The only way I found to let everything display the same colors is to set Photoshop to use Proofing/RVB Monitor.
What upsets me even more is that Photoshop colors look "better" to me (dark grays seem to dark to me in the other applications.)
I have read that this is because Photoshop takes the new profile into account and others applications do not. But I don't think this is relevant here because everything is in sRGB so the only profile is my monitor's and I think calibration is handled globally by windows : everything (including browsers, explorer, and Photoshop) changes color if I choose to apply the monitor's profile or not with windows color management tool ("use my parameters for this device").
Here is my system configuration :
- Photoshop CS4 (11.0.2)
- Windows 7 64 bits
- HP ZR2440W and DELL 2209WA (these are not wide gamut screens)
I have spent two days trying to figure the logics behind this and really am upset. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Don't hesitate to ask me if there is something that is unclear or some information I forgot to mention.
Thanks in advance,
Yannick

That sounds like an invitation to continue to talk about the issue. Fair enough.
I'm not sure where you're getting "insecurity"... I am just trying to help you help others more effectively.
I invite you to re-read just the first sentence of what you wrote very carefully, putting yourself in the shoes of someone struggling with both the terminology and the concepts:
Photoshop (CMS) reads an embedded ICC profile and CONVERTS it to the custom monitor profile for a theoretical 'true color' display
Think about what "Photoshop (CMS)" might mean to a person who doesn't know the acronym might stand for "Color Management System" (which is I assume what you meant). Adobe themselves don't call it "CMS", they use the acronym "CMM" (Color Management Module). The term "CMS" is used in the computer industry for about a dozen different things.
While a color profile might have been embedded in an image file before it was opened by Photoshop, Photoshop works on documents. A profile is not "embedded" in a document, it is maintained by Photoshop with the document and describes the color values in the document. If Photoshop opens a document without an embedded profile, depending on settings and user choices it might assign a profile or it might even operate on the document without color-management. Oversimplification doesn't help people when they're trying to learn new things unless it's described as such, for example, "This is a bit of an oversimplification..." or "Generally speaking..."
Not every monitor profile is a "custom monitor profile". Quite often a standard profile (e.g., sRGB IEC61966-2.1) is associated with a monitor by the operating system as a default, or a factory profile is installed by a driver package or system update. Your use of the term "custom" is a bit ambiguous and could be read as implying the creation of a profile using a calibration and profiling device specific to the particular monitor.
Photoshop's color management code does not convert an embedded ICC profile at all (read carefully what you wrote). As I said, it transforms color values. That was the key error in your description that prompted me to comment.
If ever there is a time to pick words carefully, it's in a color-management discussion.

Why do APDivs move?
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2181263#2181263
I think you should seriously rethink using APDivs as a primary layout method. Use CSS default positioning (which is no positioning at all). Then align elements with CSS Margins, Padding and Floats.
Basic CSS Page Layout (no APDivs used & no animals harmed)

Why are my photo colors oversaturated?

The colors of my photos appear dark and otherwise oversaturated when viewed on my monitor. Yet, they appear fine when viewed on other computers or my phone. Any idea why? I've got a 20-in iMac running Lion.

The part of the screen that plays your preview may be using an overlay? I don't know if it is still done that way or not. Check your graphics card settngs and make sure that the programs are controlling your card and that you are not using the NVidia settings, or whatever card you have.

Why are jpg files displayed different in Lightroom 4 then in f.e. Apple Quicktime? How to make it similar?

I use Lightroom 4 for organizing and processing my photo's on my Sony Vaio VPCF11C5E (Windows 7, 64bit). When I import (no presets applied) the jpg files of my canon 6d (camera setting sRGB) in Lightroom 4, the pictures are displayed differently (less colorful) then when displayed in f.e. the slideshow mode of Windows Photo Viewer or in Apple's Quicktime. Which settings do I need to change to display the photo's in Lightroom in the same way as in f.e. Apple's Quicktime?

If there's a mismatch from LR, that's likely due to the other application not being color managed which is what I suspect is the case with the version of Windows Photo Viewer. LR is correct.

1 Apple ID, 2 iCloud accounts. Why are they syncing across different iPhone 4's?

My sister and I both have the iPhone 4 from Verizon. Recently, I made an iCloud account with a .me address, then she made a separate one. Once she made hers, our contacts and reminders have merged to both of our phones. I can't figure out how to stop that. I don't think it should happen since there are 2 separate iCloud accounts. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I am having similar problem. I think I know how it happens but not easy to fix.
"Apple ID" account is different than iCloud account, but when setting up new phone, everything asks for 'apple ID' although you can use icloud or apple ID. Apple ID is typical for itunes store. if one user for both, it's ok to use both. but for multiple users this is the problem.
my problem is I set up my husband's iphone and set him up on my itunes account (accident), so it merged my contacts into his contacts because I put my apple id in there. I created an icloud email for him to try to fix it but it links this email account now to my apple id still. and when I created an icloud me.com account for him, it didn't ask for a password.
trying to figure out how to create a separate icloud account for him to separate our contacts then only use apple id for apple store/itunes. ANYONE KNOW HOW TO CORRECT THIS?

Why are my PDFs sorted differently in Bookshelf or Titles view?

I scanned 68 chapters of two med textbooks (2000 pages) so I can access them easier on my iPad.
It works OK but there is one odd thing-after dragging the chapters to iTunes and syncing them, I get different sort orders for the "Bookshelf" view and "Titles" view depending on if I am in ICON mode or LIST view mode (top upper right)
The chapters are each named 01.pdf, 02.pdf, 03.pdf, etc etc.
If I look at them in "List" view, with the TITLES button selected they are all sorted from 01-68 properly.
If I look at them in "List" view, with the "BOOKSHELF" button selected, they randomly populate the bookshelf from top to bottom.
This is the same when I view them in ICON mode. They are all out of order.
I know I can drag them around to re-arrange them, but this is a real pain.
Also- I can't just choose "TITLES" and then click ICON view, it reverts to "Bookshelf view"
I was planning to put more textbooks in. A lot more.
What causes them to be sorted randomly when they are in "Bookshelf" view?
I would like to find a way around this so I can either re-name them properly or adjust whatever meta-data (if anything) is causing this.

Unfortunately this has been an issue with iBooks since day one. Bookshelf view has never been sorted alphabetically. Hopefully in a future update this issue will be resolved...
I personally gave up on iBooks for PDF files because of the inability to sort the Bookshelf view with any consistency. I'd recommend looking into the Goodreader app for storing your PDFs. With Goodreader you can create folders within the app for each book and they will sorted in proper order.
