Hi,
Our company logo was created in Illustrator with the spot color Pantone 295. When I open the .eps in Photoshop and rasterize it for a project, the color is not even close to 295whether I use CMYK or RGB color mode.
When I rasterize in RGB mode and sample the color, it comes out as 49,86,134 for RGB and 98,70,22,6 for CMYK. The custom color sampling is closest to Pantone 647.
When I rasterize as CMYK and sample the file, it comes out as 22,76,130 for RGB and 100,56,0,34 for CMYK. The custom color sampling is closest to Pantone 7462.
When I select 295 as a custom color, it samples as 0,49,97 RGB and 100,83,33,32 in CMYK. The Pantone custom color in Photoshop is much darker blue than the rasterized file.
When we place the .eps into PageMaker, it brings in 295 coated as a color and prints accurately. Why does the color shift so dramatically when brought into Photoshop? Does it have to do with the settings in Illustrator or the settings in Photoshop?
Help!
Thank you,
Courtney Armbruster
