Question
I need to cut and paste some images from photoshop to adobe Illustrator CS4 however, everytime I the image is pasted the color of my images change from blue to purple. Can you tell me what I can do keep my image colors the same?

Answer
Hi Negin,


First make sure you are placing into the same color mode in Illustrator. If your PS file is RGB, make sure your Illustrator file is the same (File>Document Color Mode). If the color is still off, close all your applications then go to Bridge and then Edit>Creative Suite Color Settings. Choose "General Purpose" and close. Then reopen your apps and try using File>Place to bring in your PS file.

Thanks
