Working on a project that allows user to change the color of an image using Hue, Saturation and Brightness adjustments from Flex. The same image should then be printed in high resolution from the backend.
The trouble is, when we apply the same HSB variations that Flex used to Photoshop / Gimp / ImageMagick they generate a totally different color output. We want a WYSIWYG color change/printing, so this is not going to work.
The following table shows the output we received!
Not sure what the solution to this is. ImageMagick has come the closest to Flex’s HSB variations, so I am currently trying to figure out something with it.
Any hints?
What you are dealing with is differences in color profiles – it is the same thing that the printers have to deal with when printing on paper. The answer lies in having identical color calibration.
Thanks Tarique!
But I do not know how to calibrate the colors between Flex and ImageMagick… Couldn’t find something in a quick Google search either…
I have still not figured out how to fix this! I am getting closer, but not yet there. The color profiles is not a problem. I use sRGB (Flex/Flash’s default) on the backend too.
I made a small video explaining the problem. Take a look at: http://screencast.com/t/18Udh88mJ
Can anyone help? It’s been over a month, and I don’t have an answer to this! 🙁
Heck.. This seems like a Flash bug! The Flash IDE too does not rotate the hues correctly – or at least as expected.
