orangefizz Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 Creating new color swatches in an RGB document sourcing colors from a placed CMYK image sometimes causes colors in the swatch menu to be inconsistent. A "bright" red sourced from the placed CMYK image (ie. really a muted red) appears correctly as muted red in the swatch menu, but upon assigning it to an element in the RGB document, both the element and the color picker swatch are set to a much brighter red than the swatch. Not sure if it's easy to reproduce but I've definitely noticed it happening a few times so I'm posting this. I'm fluent in CMYK/print. Conversions to/from RGB values are standard. I got around this particular problem by deleting the swatch and recreating it by manually entering the converted RGB values. Shouldn't have to do that.

walt.farrell Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 It would help to have some screenshots, @orangefizz. Or a recording showing it happening if you can reproduce it. Please show both the Swatches panel and the Color panel, and for the Color panel please have it set to show Sliders. Some factors that may be important: In the Color panel, is the panel set to RGB or CMYK? Also in the Color panel, is the Lock active, or not. In your Preferences, Color, what are the RGB and the CMYK profiles you have specified? What is the color format/profile of your document? What is the profile of the Placed CMYK document?
