Colours in Photoshop 7 + Illustrator 10

Hi,

I’m wondering if anyone out there knows why if i create a new image in illustrator with a solid background colour of #ffcc33 and then save it as an .eps why is it that when i open that eps in photoshop i loose the original colour. Instead when i click on the colour with the eyedropper tool in photoshop it always returns a colour of #F5D748.

This is not just unique to that particular colour. if you do the same process with any other colour and open in photoshop the program always picks a different colour for the eps than you gave it in illustrator.

My colour setting are exactly the same in illustrator as they are in photoshop as i copied the .csf colour file over.

Someone else on an adobe forum mentioned that If you try and create that colour in a CMYK document, it will immediately
change. It is out-of-gamut for a CMYK profile.

Does this mean photoshop and illustrator have different CMYK profiles, cause when you open a .eps that you created in illustrator, in CMYK mode, in photoshop in CMYK mode the colours are different.

why??

will

can’t believe this has beaten you guys…

i have had the same problems in the past , i have found that tiff images work out better for matching colour. Its been a while since i actually tried a eps format file from photoshop to ai… i ll give it a few goes and reply.

cheers
