Why do the colours from Adobe Color Theme creation change when I try to use them?

I've been exploring the Adobe Color Theme creator in InDesign. There are the three tabs: Create, Explore, My Themes.  In the create tab I can create a theme of colours, get the combination just right, and then save my new theme.  However as soon as I save any colour out to the swatches, the colour changes! It's driving me nuts.
[Original Colour]  -Colour it comes out as-
[green turquoise] -prussian blue-
[strong, bright red] -darkish orange-
[warm purple] -faded dark mauve-
My best guess was that maybe the colour profile of the document was set to CMYK and that the colour themes work in RGB, but as far as I can determine it's just "North America General Purpose 2" and the Working Spaces include both RGB and CMYK. Therefore I'm stumped. I do not have the expertise to figure out what is going on and these are significant colour changes to have a really strong, vibrant colour palette turn into something much more muted.
And if this piece of information is of any use, my yellow doesn't seem to change at all.
Any ideas please?  I've tried searching for it, but maybe I'm not putting in the right combination of keywords. Hopefully I'm just being obtuse and someone will tell me to put a checkmark in a box somewhere.

There are some slight value changes between the Theme and the Swatches, but we're only talking a change of 1 or 2 and so the colours appear to stay true now. Total pain to have to do this extra little step every time. =)
a huge, glaring, and sloppy problem which really ought to be fixed by Adobe pronto.
You can batch change the color mode of swatches if you select all of the swatches and double click them. Or, you can simply leave the Lab values and let the conversion to the correct CMYK space happen when you export to PDF.
I'm guessing the fix won't be coming soon. The original Kuler app had the same color management problem. It's hard to see how they will fix it and keep Color Themes as a cloud based web app.
When you convert the Lab swatches the CMYK values you get will depend on the document's assigned profile, so if you make two document's with different profiles assigned you'll get different CMYK values when you convert the Lab values. Here is US SWOP vs US SNAP

  • Why does the colour on my Premiere Pro clip change when I add a title to it in After Effects?

    I applied some colour effects to a clip I was working on in Adobe Premiere Pro, but when I replace the composition of the clip with an Affter Effects composition and simply add a title over the video, it saves the clip with a slightly different colour. It doesn't seem to be removing the colour effect that I added to it, just altering it. Any ideas as to what may be happening, and how I can keep the colour consistent? Thanks a mil!

    Just a guess about something to look at - check the color settings in your After Effects project.  If you increase the bit depth to 16 or 32 bits per channel and check your color management settings, you may have a better result.  I'm a bit clueless about the various options under Color Settings, but maybe you will hit upon something that works.

  • TS3274 Why do my pictures get larger when I try to use them as wallpaper on my IPAD?

    Why do my pictures show up larger when I try to use them as wallpaper on my Ipad?

    If you have Settings > General > Accessibility > Reduce Motion set 'off' then you will need to use a higher resolution version of your pictures, otherwise the parallax effect will zoom in.
    From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5595 :
    When the parallax effect is on, you may notice the following:
    Wallpaper, icons, and alerts shift slightly as you move your phone.
    When you set a wallpaper in Settings > Wallpapers & Brightness, the photo or image will be slightly zoomed and can't be scaled to fit the screen.
    If you zoom in, you will need to rescale your wallpaper to fit to the screen. You can't rescale certain photo formats, including landscape or square images.

  • My ipod touch is telling me that the skype and twitter apps need updating. When I try to run them they fail. I have tried deleting the apps via itunes but it doesn't work and I have tried updating the apps via itunes and it says they are updated.

    My ipod touch is telling me that the Skype and Twitter apps need updating.  When I try to update them they both fail. I have tried numerous times.  I have tried connecting the ipod to itunes and removing the apps, to reload them but that does not work either.  If I try and update the apps through itunes the system tells me they are updated.  Can anyone assist please?

    - Try a reset. It cures amny ills
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • HT1199 Two new programmes loaded from different companies fail when I try to use them -quit unexpectedly messages

    Two new programmes from differant companies have loaded ok but when I try to use them I get an imediate error message -quit unexpectedly- and the programme closes. What is wrong? 

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report — they're very long and not helpful.

  • HT4356 Fillable pdf in Adobe Acrobat Professional X but when I try to use the Airprint feature the form print minus the field data, have anyone been able to resolve this issue?

    I have developed a fillable pdf in Adobe Acrobat Professional X but when I try to use the Airprint feature the form print minus the field data, have anyone been able to resolve this issue?

    Hi,
    I had a similar problem and found help for it. Go to the "Advanced" menu and select Extend features in Adobe Reader. That will enable rights which may resolve your problem. If that doesn't work, there is a really helpful guy in here, Robert Levine. You may want to ask him directly.
    Good Luck

  • The books are all in my library but when I try to open them the app glitches and closes out.

    I have an iPod 4g and I had deleted the ibooks app but downloaded it again. The books are all in my library but when I try to open them the app glitches and closes out. Before the app update (ios 7) and after the update it hadn't worked (for the past week).

    I think I have found an answer on another page! If anyone else wants to know just do this:
    Hold down the home and sleep button (if the turn off button comes up just ignore it) and when you see the apple logo release the buttons and let it wake up!
    It worked for me and seem to work for a lot of people. Hope this helps!!

  • Just updated from elements 11 to 13. When I try to use Levels in Elements 13. I click on the slider with my bamboo pen and nothing happens for a few seconds, sometimes not at all. This worked fine in Elements 11.

  • The front camera on my iPad locks up when I try to use it.

    The front camera on my iPad locks up when I try to use it.  The entire camera app locks up until I do a reset in settings.  I have done the manual reset as well as a restore and it still locks up.  I want to use Facetime and Skype.  How do I fix?

    If you restored the iPad to factory settings and the camera still locks up, you may have a hardware problem and it may be time to get Apple involved.
    If it was just Skyoe, I would suggest deleting the app and reinstalling, but you can't delete FaceTime.
    Can you use the camera otherwise - meaning to take photos and videos - front and back facing both work?

  • I have music i have put on itunes from cd's i own but when i try to play them or update my ipod it says item cannot be found why did itunes lose the file

    i have music i have put on itunes from cd's i won but when i try to play it or update my ipod it says cannot find file and have to locate it why is this

    Because the file are no longer where they were when they were imported into your computer and added to your iTunes Library.
    Did you move, rename or delete the files after adding them to your iTunes Library?
    Do you use any other programmes, which may have moved, renamed or deleted the files, for example, Windows Media Player?
    Were the files added to your computer's hard drive, or to an external drive which is no longer connected, or has a different drive letter now?

  • Why won't my nano accept alac or wav files when I try to transfer them from my itunes library?

    I've ripped my cd collection into itunes in either alac or wav format. Now when I try to add some of these music files to my ipod nano 3rd. gen., they always transfer to the ipod as a aac file. I know that I have to go to preferences and adjust the settings in the pop ups to whichever format I want to make the music files in, and I've done all of this. I'm not sure if I'm missing something here, or if my computer or my 2 ipods are broken somehow. Any help would be great. Thanks.

    Check that you don't have this setting checked in the Summary section of iTunes for your iPod:
    Otherwise you should be OK - AFAIK all iPod nano models support WAV and Apple Lossless, and a quick test with a 7g nano suggests that syncing a WAV file creates a WAV file on the iPod.  If you're seeing something different then some deeper digging may be required ...
