Color problem

Posted: 06-26-2003, 08:08 PM
Hi,

I was working in Photoshop and accidentally hit some key combination and now I have a color problem. When I sample a color with the dropper, then try to apply it to another area, the color is lighter than what was sampled. The color in the toolbox area is right, but when I apply it it's lighter. I also should mention that I'm working with a layer mask. Anyone know what I did?

Thanks,

JA

Make sure your Layer and Fill Opacity is set to 100%, Layer Blending "Normal."

Likewise, make sure that whichever tools you try using to apply the color are set to 100%, and blending mode to "Normal."

You probably hit a key combo that changed one of these.

Please see the Quick Reference card or PDF for more info.

Hallo All,

I'm parsing colorvalues (Hex) from Flash to Director. I director I use them
to color a 3d model. But the colors aren't the same
What could be the trouble? I've tried all kinds of conversion but nothing
helps. Do I need to convert ?

The colors are numbers like : 773193728 or 2497554 actually they are not RGB
or Hexadecimal but just decimal numbers

Hope somone can help me... it's driving me crazy

Grtx en Thx,
Martin

You'll want to set up your color management for working with CMYK colors.
There's a section on Color Management in the Help files.

We've found that bitmaps placed in Freehand will reproduce as set in Photoshop.
Color management is tricky and not very precise. What kind of computer are you
working on and what version of Freehand and operating system?

What! You want me to explain in two simple sentences what Macromedia can't
explain clearly in sixteen pages?!! ;-D

Very sorry, I can't possibly tell you how to set up color management for
your machine and your intended output. Color management settings will vary
with your monitor, your operating system and the printer you will be
printing to.

Maybe Ian Kelleigh's tips will help:

Umm .. not precisely true. As long as you're printing to the same CMYK
printer, using the same printer settings, the same image will print with the
same colors, whether printed from Photoshop or from Freehand.
