Color range can give you a selection, but not a count of pixels. Even if you set the fuzziness down to zero color range will select more pixels than the EXACT value in your foreground color

Another post about medical research about 8 down suggests using blobfinder, give that a try:

The color sampler does not remember the layer you used when you created a sample, it only keeps track of the location. As you change layers, the value of where you color sampler will change to show the color of the visible layer of the3 layer you have selected + the layers underneath that one.

You say that colors are disapearing, that makes me think you are using image >> adjust >> curves, rather than the curves adjustment layer found in the bottom middle of the layers palette. Put all your color adjustments layers in a folder and put a layer mask on that folder, should give you a good image.

Also look into using image >> adjustment >> match color. This usually works good, unless there are other totally different colors in the background throwing off the filter.

Post the image when you are done so we get a peek.

Select your type on a path and choose:
Type >> Type on a path option >> check the flip box

You can fake the type size change by doing an
effect >> distort & transform >> free transform
on a straight line of type to distort so it is taller on the left end (as in the picture)
then drag this to you brush palette and create an art brush.
Apply the art brush to a spiral and you have type that looks bigger at the start and smaller at the end.

There was a better way to do this using Multiple Master fonts, but there are so many technical problems with mm fonts I don’t encourage that. If you are interested it is somewhere on adobes website under typography samples an hourglass image filled with type that gets smaller as it descends down the path.

1) Book Color:If you used any book color(eg: twaeking the CMYK values of a PMS) and modified them, Adobe modifies them back to their original book color when you paste into another document.

2)Color Settings: The color settings might be different on abothercomputer or file, so the same color will display and print differently.

Hope this helkps, if not give us a little more detail such as is the color shifitng between prints, displays or the actual values.

Anyone ever find a solution to this? I have have my max Ram & Max Memory set to 100%.

I am on CS3 AE with 2gb ram, and am expereienceing the same error on a small 10 second clip.

GOOD QUESTION! Wish they had an easier way to do this simple task. Here is the solution:

Select image > links palette flyout menu > placement options > preserve >> file dimensions

I have not found a solution to remove other transforms (eg: rotation, skew), except using the effect >> distort & transform >> transform. This effect is much more useful than it appears, and have used this as a solution on numerous jobs.

Actually the color guide is a a palette accessible in illustrator using window >> color guide. The interface takes some getting used to, but you can get some great results for choosing colors.

Do you have placed halftone images in your document? He likely wants you to open them in photoshop and convert them to a 2-color duotone. You could do a fake duotone in Illustrator by using a 1-color image and setting it to multiple over a solid of another color.

Can you post a sample page, so we can see how your layout uses colors..

THANKS for sharing! Yet another IE Explorer bug, does it ever end?

Try resetting your Photoshop Prefs.

If that does not work, you may need to completely uninstall your Adobe Suite(especially Acrobat & Photpshop) and reinstall.
