Find the hex code for a transparent color
In the image below, there are four colors. Three of them are opaque, and two of those opaque ones are behind a semi-transparent color. I want to find the exact hex value and opacity of that color.
color-reproduction
How can I get remote clients to approve colours without sending them prints?
A remote client needs to approve of some colours I chose.
Is it possible and reasonable to compensate the media white point of a target color profile?
I’ve been trying to figure out color management (mostly in InDesign, but this question is more general) in a print production workflow in more detail recently.
How to colorize an translucent picture in Photoshop?
I’ve got a scanned picture of a sticker album which contains an translucent room where the sticker should be sticked. I’ve tried (using the Equalize, Curves, Levels, Vibrance and Contrast Tools from Photoshop) to get the translucent room as close as possible to the real sticker, but I feel that I still can do something to improve it. Could someone give me, kindly, some hint about this situation?
Color removal followed by transparency reproduction
I have a large number of images I’d like to remove the background color of and replace with 100% transparent background. I also have semi-transparent rectangles which I need to “color correct”.
In Photoshop, how can I replicate the color tone (sepia) from one photo to another?
I scan old original photos from the 30’s and 40’s and for some of them I get some blueish metallic reflections that are not visible “in person” (and the photo paper is not glossy). I think this phenomenon is called silvering (or mirroring?).
How to add a color gradient to a picture
I felt in love with the way this graphic designer, called Mariusz, has edited this picture.
Choosing colors that work well on projectors
When specifying colors for use in a software user interface, what’s the best way to ensure that those colors will look acceptable on all common display technologies: CRT, LCD, and in particular projectors?
Why should I calibrate my screen?
As both a web and print designer, I have never seen the need to calibrate my displays. Especially for web design, I wonder why I should spend several hundred euros to calibrate when I can instead test my colour choices on multiple uncalibrated displays in different lighting conditions. Only a handful of users are going to look at my colour choices on an accurately calibrated screen while under the same lighting as I had when I stuck my ColorMunki to my screen.
How configure color in InDesign for a specific printer?
In my work recently was bought a Brother MFC-L8850CDW printer, CMYK tonels. But no matter what we do, when a document or a PDF made in InDesign is printed, the output colors on paper have a huge difference between what we see in the screen. For example, the cyan or sky-blue are printed like dark-blue, or the magenta that is printed almost like red.
