Paste as Smart Object Illustrator source into Photoshop and color changes

226 views3 repliesLast post: 12/3/2006
Pasting something copied from Illustrator (color mode: RGB) into a Photoshop RGB document and the color (RGB) numbers are changing. Specifically, a logo I’ve converted to specific RGB colors in Illustrator. Only way I can preserve exact color numbers is opening the Illustrator file via Photoshop, but resizing this for web use jacks up fidelity of logo, where resizing the Smart Object (but wrong color) version retains fidelity. Anyone else run into this and found a fix?

Objective is to paste from Illustrator as a Smart Object without any change happening to the colors of the item copied from Illustrator once it is a Photoshop layer.

Thanx,
Kurt

Make sure your color management is the same in both apps. Sync your color in Bridge

The only way that could happen is if the Illustrator document and the Photoshop document have different color profiles.
