2. Color mode changing issue (Grayscale mode)

   Hi,

   We are using Adobe Illustrator CS6 & CC22, for image color conversion.

   Input: Figures in RGB mode & color RGB
   Output: Figures in CMYK mode & color Grayscale

   Manual Process:
   When we change color mode manually by following below step, then no issues color mode was changed successfully:

   Step 1:Select Image.
   Step 2:Go to File Menu -> In Document Color Mode Select RGB Color.
   Step 3:Go to Edit Menu -> Edit Colors Select Convert to GrayScale.
   Step 4:Go to File Menu -> In Document Color Mode Select CMYK Color.

   Now our output images will be in CMYK mode & color Grayscale.

   Automation process:
   When we change color mode for batch of figures through Javascript using the below code, color mode was not changed:

   {
   app.executeMenuCommand("doc-color-rgb");
   app.executeMenuCommand("selectall");
   app.executeMenuCommand("Colors7");
   app.executeMenuCommand("doc-color-cmyk");
   }

   Now our output images are RGB mode & color Grayscale. The issue was RGB mode instead of CMYK so the image looks darker.

   Please check and advise how to proceed with the codes.

   I'm attached screenshots of both outputs.

   Note: We have already raised to Adobe support, they informed to raise here to get solution from development team. Adobe Case ADB-26223085-K1P8 CRM:08733000021087

3. Creating a new swatch group from selection adds swatches that aren't used anywhere.

   At the end of a project, I like to select everything on an artboard and create a swatch group with "Convert Process to Global" checked in order to clean up my swatches and make final global tweaks to color.

   Often a handful of swatches will be added that aren't apparently used anywhere. I can verify this by selecting the swatch as a fill or stroke, then choosing Select > Same Fill (or Stroke) color. Nothing will be selected for either option. So is this a glitch, or how else can I find and delete the source of the swatch?

4. Fehlendes abspeicher neuer farbfelder

   Kann keine neuen Farbfelder abspeichern, geschweige denn sie in der Bibliothek unterzubringen, noch die Standardfarben zu löschen… Wäre schön wenn man das über ein plussymbol hinbekommen könnte… plus neuen Farbenamen als Kategorie in die man die neuen Farbfelder speichern kann und beim antippen der Kategorie die Möglichkeit in Bibliothek zu speichern…

5. copy and paste random color change

   1.macbook pro 2021, big sur 11.4
   2. version 25.3.1

   within the same file, when I copy and paste an element, the fill is changing. the same issue does not occur when option dragging the drawing. it happens repeatedly. The fill that is changing is a colored pattern fill. It has happened with all "original" colorations (ie it does not only happen when using the light blue fill like in the movie. but they all change to the same yellow fill like in the movie.)

6. Colour code changing Illustrator 25.4 BUG!

   When I put in a number on R G B example R88 G122 B27, it changes but then when I select another object and go back to double check the other object the colour has changed back to something else. See screen shot. I saved the colour in the pallete. The colour should have the same values as the name I want R88, G122, B27 but its value is different, its giving me a different colour value.

   My colour setting are see screen shot

7. Saved swatches from previous version doesn't look the same

   I've made a custom palette in an earlier version of Illustrator. Now importing these swatches into new documents the swatches and codes are vastly different - both cmyk and rgb swatches has been altered.

   On reference picture - left side colors are original swatch colors, right side is the imported swatches. Also attaching the correct color codes.

   What happened? How do I fix this?

   Problem noticed in AI 25.2.3

8. RGB colors appear differently in identical file setup

   I have created color codes in one document and brought them into another (with the exact same RGB setup) and the color breakdowns change to look the same. This is a problem because if I am sharing the RGB breakdowns with others, some of the colors appear much duller. I have noticed that something changes when an image is brought in from an external source sometimes. This is becoming a big issue across our team.

9. Colors Being Displayed Differently than in Color Picker

   I just decided to update to AI 2021, bad idea... I was working on a file and I realized that the color had changed from the original dark blue to a purple color. I do not know what happened, but I know it must have to do with the update because it happened right after this.

11. My colors keep getting dull randomly without changing settings

    This has happened repeatedly on different documents. When I select a color, I find that when I look back at the file (without closing the file) in 15-20 minutes, the colors become dull. My settings are in RGB.

12. Illustrator automatically changing colors

    When you place image (RGB) into Illustrator it would preserve the color profile. Now it changes it automatically and this seems to be a common problem if you search the internet. Fix it as it makes this program far less useful.

13. Pantone Connect

    Hi there,

    When trying to load the Pantone Connect Extension I see a black window instead of the swatches and other features of the extension. The only message I see is a purple link that says “reload plugin” which has no effect when I click on it. This was the case for the 2020 version when I tried it today, so I updated all my apps, thinking this might help. However, the same error occurs with the 2021 versions of Photoshop, Illustrator and Indesign. When I last used the extension in summer last year, it worked great… has there been a change in the meantime? Am I doing something wrong?

    Thank you for your help!

    Best,
    Lucas Stolz

14. Pattern Seam issues with Adobe Capture patterns

    when using adobe capture patterns there is a transparent seam in the pattern, I am able to remove the seam by change the width of the pattern but its only a temporary fix as soon as I change the pattern the seam comes back. This issue only seams to happen in illustrator, because when I use the same patterns in photoshop there is no gap between patterns

    Steps to replicate:

    1. use adobe capture to create a pattern.
    2. create a shape in illustrator

    3. open the libraries tab and insert the pattern
       where lines/ spaces appear in-between the pattern

    4. go to pattern options width will say something like 50.7 px

    5. click on the hamburger menu icon and click on edit pattern

    6. change pattern to 50px or 50.6px which removes the lines, 50.6 seams to line the patterns up fairly well

    I wish that this issue was fixed, or that there was a permanent way of fixing the patterns,

15. 25.0.1 Colour still wrong

    NOT AN IDEA—A BUG!

    The colour settings are still incorrect in the newest update.
    Totally unusable software, so back to version 24 again.

    The image on the right is correct from version 24. How that file displays in 25.0.1 is in the middle and the image on the left is the same jpeg as on the right imported into 25.0.1…!!!!

    3 totally different interpretations of the same colour. Insane.

16. Appearance: Empty Stroke blocks Fill

    When applying a colour to a selection, sometimes this has no effect. While both the Color and the Appearance panel reflect the chosen colour, the object doesn't.

    Most of the time the (unlogical) cause seems to be a Stroke without colour.
    When changing the order in Appearance to having the Fill on top, the colour appears.

    Please make an uncoloured stroke of no influence on underlying fills.

17. Recolor artwork modal panel stays in place

    The new recolor art modal panel doesn’t remember it’s previous position and always appears in the center of my window. Is this expected ?

    If it could be non modal and docked in my custom

18. 'Edit Color Group' does not respect global or spot color swatches.

    The 'edit color group' tool is a neat little palette explorer, but in practice I never use it because my workflow is centered around global swatches, and it completely ignores that.

    Try this:

    1. Make a few global color swatches. Draw some shapes using them.
    2. Double-click on one of those swatches, play with the sliders, notice that everything drawn in it changes to match.
    3. Make those swatches into a color group.
    4. Select the color group and hit the 'Edit Color Group' button in the Swatches palette.
    5. Change some colors, hit OK, yes you do want to save your changes to the swatch group.
    6. Observe that every swatch you just changed is now non-global, and all art drawn in those formerly-global swatches is now unlinked from the swatches.
    7. Do the same thing again except substitute 'spot color' for 'global color'; observe the similar effects.

    IMHO, Illustrator should preserve the global/spot status of swatches when using this tool.

    And given that it's failed to do this for a while and people have built workflow expectations around this behavior I am completely fine with an 'Edit Color Group preserves spot/global swatches' switch somewhere that defaults to off, if you're worried about people screaming about this. in the next version. :)
