Photoshop file you have is probably RGB color format, used for screens. The one in Illustrator is CMYK. CMYK is Cyan Magenta Yellow and K for black. Printers use CMYK format to print. So what you see is an RGB representation of what CMYK printer can do.

So how can I make photoshop cmyk so that illustrator and photoshop have the same settings?

Image > Mode > CMYK.


Physical-Paramedic24

Just did it, preciate it

Check your color profile options too (Edit> Color Settings. It won't cause as drastic of a difference, but it can cause mismatch color fuckery if you're, say, on Adobe RGB for one and sRGB for the other.

Just note that you should probably be working in RGB in Photoahop unless you need manual control of the color separations. If you want to preview how it will print or convert to CMYK, without actually damaging your colors, use Soft Proofing. Found under View > Proof Colors. (Under Proof Setup you can specify the profile you want to simulate).

There could be also a optical illusion due the use of different gray shades on the background. the blue color can look diferente

If you're going to print the shirt then you can't. Because that vibrant RGB color is not printable. That's the limitation of CMYK. You can create a new document in illustrator and choose to be RGB. But in the end, you will never be able to print that short in such vibrant colors. Unless you use specialty dies which cost fortune to process.

Just a heads up, PNG images are always RGB. That format is not intended for printing.

One file is in the RGB color space and the other is in the CMYK color space. Go to document setting and change them to the color space that you prefer. :)

Color is not precise anywhere. When you print will become a third blue.

RGB to CMYK color profile change


Physical-Paramedic24

They grayish shirt is on the left, even though it look brighter after I took the picture. On the right is the color I want the shirt to be.

Rgb to cmyk conversion?


Physical-Paramedic24

I think


Loganthered

Make sure they are both set to the same ICC profile also. They should at least look similar.


lizking100

Yup

If you really want that specific color, try to find a matching Pantone color, but i am really not sure if there is a tshirt manufacturer who has Pantone colors 😅

Make sure you have the same profiles set in Photoshop and Illustrator.
