When I try to paste a graphic from Word into my PSD, the colours change. I am using a BENQFP767-12 flat screen.

How should I be calibrating it so I see the same colours? Is there something else I should be doing?

Thanks

Different formats!

Screen capture. Hit your print screen screen key, select new in PS and paste image.

You could start by spelling color correctly!

Yes, I can have a laugh at my expense. It is well worth it to show that hecate loves this troll OT stuff as much as the rest. You did get my point though, thank you.

It isn’t your monitor, it M$. They’ve buggered up the image with their own compreession algorithm. You’ll also notice the image looks somewhat posterized. I spent 2 days on the phone with M$ trying to find a solution to this problem for a client who had embedded all of the images in Word files, then tossed the originals. (DUH)

Depending on which version of Word you have and the size of the image, there are 3 possible workarounds.
The first has already been mentioned.
1— Zoom in as tightly as possible and use the print screen key, then paste that capture into PS as a new layer. Trim away any ugly bits of excess screen.
or
2— if these are large images , try saving a copy of the word doc "For the Web" Create a new folder, and save the Word doc there using the Save as a Web Page command on the file menu. This will create a placeholder HTML file, and will dump out all the images on the page as images with stupid names like Image 1
or
3— If you have PowerPoint, try pasting the the images from Word to PP, resize to suit, then save the slides as png’s or Tiffs, and open those files in PS

<g> so, if an skilful Englishman is skillful enough in his dialogue with the Yankees, than meter for metre he fulfill the fulfilment in his dialog with the Americans, to call himself bilingual? Only because, while his favourite language is the English language he honour, he also honor the Yankees favorite
language?

I get this all the time… people think that Word has to be used as some sort of ‘container’ for their pictures.

if you have your original Office CD (mine is Office 97 Pro), the best solution is to install the Microsoft Photo Editor. Note that this isn’t installed by default and you will have to hunt through the CD to find it.

Go to your Word file, and copy the photo.

Go to Microsoft Photo Editor, and choose Edit/Paste as New Image.

Then save as TIFF so you can open in Photoshop or whatever.

This procedure seems to preserve the quality of the original and is far better than a 72dpi screen capture.
