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.

  • 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...

  • 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 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

  • Why do colours change in PDF created from InDesign book?

    Please help.
    I've created a Book from 5 InDesign documents that have images text and some Illustrator drawings in.
    When I export the Book to PDF some of the colours in the Illustrator graphics are different (the graphics are all vector based maps with some text). Not all colours are changing, seems to be different blues showing as one green in the PDF.
    Same thing happens when I print the Book from InDesign.
    Could anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong.

    Help!  I too am having problems when creating a pdf in InDesign.  My colors are all Pantone process colors.  My specific problem is that when I export my book cover to a PDF, my process black is changing to gray.  This ONLY happens with pdfs.  When I save as a jpg things are fine.  It will print fine.  I have been scaling it down, but i prints black.  Help!  This is a project due for a typography class on Monday and must be printed and mounted for class.

  • Why do colours change when converting from Word to PDF

    I am converting word files to pdf, however the header and footer background colours change once converted. How can I stop this happening?

    Depends on how you are creating the PDF. If you are using PDF Maker (the create PDF button), then check the preferences in that menu. There is an entry for the settings file selected. If you are printing to the Adobe PDF printer, the settings file is listed under the settings tab of the properties menu.

  • 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 the cursor changes only after moving the mouse?

    I have used the setCursor() on a JInternalFrame to change the image of the cursor. I change the cursor to Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR and back to Cursor.DEFAULT_CURSOR in a new thread. Then the only way for the cursor to change from WAIT to DEFAULT is to move the mouse, otherwise it will remain in WAIT status. What's going wrong?

    I am using version 1.1.2 in JBuilder1. I have an extended Dialog as an interface to change the Oracle Password. When the OK button is selected to complete the process of accessing the DB to make the change, I change cursor to the wait cursor before the DB is accessed. I have to move the mouse to trigger the cursor change to wait. I would think there would be an efficient way to do this. I would also appreciat some help. I'm not sure if this is a problem in later versions.
    Thanks,

  • Why do colours change in the printed document

    When I add a logo to my artwork in illustrator, import the illustrator file to a word template and print, it changes the printed colours dramatically..(black to blue, green to black and yellow to pink). Do I need to change a setting for that imported logo to make it compatible to print?  Without that particular logo, the document prints fine.

    open the file in illustrator--set color space to RGB--save--re add to word doc--try again--by default 'Word' uses an RGB color space-and-most printers convert that, on the fly, to CMYK--however a CMYK file that is converted to CMYK on the fly will usually appear colored as you decsribed

  • 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 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

  • How to change the colour of chart in WAD.

    Hi,
    I have problem with web report. The web report with bar charts used to show with different colours earlier. Now when I execute the web report, the chart displays in single colour (All the rectangular bars in the charts are displayed in single colour say for example red). customer would like to see the chart with different colours. Please put some lights on it how to change the colour of chart in the report.
    Thanks,
    Sravan.

    Hi Krish,
    I have followed the steps which you suggested, but I am unable to see the changes when I execute the web report.
    I could able to see the colour changes to the bars in the chart in the preview (i.e when I select the series 1 and change the colour for series 1 under Area properties). Like that I have done for all the 5 series, then I have clicked on Complete button, saved the web template and executed it, and I could able to see the changes in the preview but not in the report after execution.
    I have two charts in my case, one is <b>Job function</b> chart and the other is <b>Job type</b> chart. The Job function chart is displaying with different colours from the begining, but the job type chart is displays all the columns in RED colour.
    Is there any setting I need to do after selecting the colour at the series level.
    Please correctt me if I am worng in doing the procedure.
    Please update me how to do it...It is usefull if you can come back to me ASAP .
    Thanks,
    Saravanan.

  • How to permanently change the colour of a button

    I am using an action to change the colour of a button.  This works but the colour changes for only about a second and then reverts to the original colour.  How can I make the colour change permanently?

    Hi RajeevAdobe,
    Sorry I didn't give enough detail. What I want to do is have a page with buttons that link to a number of tasks. At the start only task 1 button will be enabled and it will be a different colour from the rest.  Once they get task 1 right they go back to the first page and task 2 button will be enabled and the colour changed. The way I am doing this is if they get task 1 right I set a variable task1Success as yes then take them back to the first page which I am calling the "wall".
    So when they first enter the "wall":
    Then user goes to task 1.
    Using:
    Then when they get back to the "wall" I check if the task1Success variable has been changed to yes and if it has I enable the task 2 button and change it's colour using Apply Effect - Advanced - Colour Effect - Advanced.
    This all works OK and when the wall first loads it looks like below but the colour of task2 button only changes for about a second I want it to change permanently.
    Thanks for your help,
    Chris
