Emulate Adobe® Illustrator® 6.0 bug in version 25.2.1

Hello,

Updated to the latest version 25.2.1 (on a Mac with Catalina) and something weird started to happen: everytime I switch between apps - Photoshop and Illustrator, for example - the color settings in Illustrator change to "Emulate Adobe® Illustrator® 6.0" without asking and with no reason I can think of, also I never used this setting before and this didn't happen with the previous versions, so I'm gessing it's a bug. I've tried to save the custom settings I normally use, but it still changes back to Emulate if I switch to another app and then return to Ai. Anyone else experiencing this? Is there a way to fix this? It's getting annoying really fast.

Hi All,

Sorry to hear about your experience. Product team is working on this issue. I'd request you to upvote on this UserVoice post(https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-desktop-bugs/suggestions/42892902-illustrator-v25-2-1-color-profile-keeps-changing-t) & stay tuned for the updates.

Additionally, please try this workaround & let us know if it helps:

1. Lower Photoshop from 22.3 to 22.2.
2. Specify any color setting in Illustrator.

If you do the above
Even if you operate Photoshop while Illustrator is running, it will not emulate the settings by itself.

We appreciate your patience.

Regards,

Ashutosh

Downgrading to Photoshop 22.2.0 solved the problem for now.

Good luck.

Hi everyone !
Thanks for this post, I'm experiencing this issue too...
And I did'nt understood what was the problem before reading your post ! I updated all my apps just yesterday and the problems happened directly after. I knew it is the same problem when I read your post because when I was looking for the color settings in Illustrator it was "Emulate Adobe® Illustrator® 6.0".
Need help... All my files are fluorescents...
You will see on my file, on the left the normal colors and on the right the colors since the update.

Hi Victoria,

Try to lower Photoshop 22.3 to 22.2, as suggested above, it worked for me.

Not ideal, but worked.

Thanks for the answer Waserone !

I did lower Illustrator, Photoshop and Indesign. When I opened Illustrator again, it was still on the "Emulate Adobe® Illustrator® 6.0" color setting... Weird. But I changed the settings by myself, we will see if it changes back or not. It will be okay for the today, but yes as you said it's not ideal.

Hello Ashutosh,

Voted. I'd also voted for another post with the same issue a few days ago.

As for the workaround, it seems to work on both Illustrator and InDesign. I didn't mention it before but InDesign 16.1 was always on "Emulate Adobe InDesign 2.0 CMS Off" setting by default since the last update, and it wasn't before.

I have the 3 programs running simultaneously, switching between apps, and the colors are not changing back to Emulate. Also, after closing and reopening the apps, when a new document is created it is no longer on Emulate setting as well.

Thank you for the workaround but please fix this bug soon. Any idea on why Photoshop 22.3 is doing this to Ai an Id?

It is a bug (again).

Yes, I discovered that this was also an issue in 2018 when searching for answers to this versions's bug. Back then I never had that problem and I went through all the versions. The solution provided then was updating the apps, but it was the recent update that brought the bug. I was hoping someone had a workaround before we get a new update with a fix.

Hi. Please try choosing the color setting with Adobe Bridge, which synchronizes it with all Adobe apps.

Hi,

I have already done it and it continues to happen the same (it does not synchronize), it is an error since the update of the program to version 25.2.1, since in the version before updating that did not happen.

Exactly. Also it shouldn't be necessary to synchronize all apps, what if you only work in Ai? In this version, if you create a new document and don't switch between apps, it is created in the "Emulate Adobe® Illustrator® 6.0" profile by default and it wasn't in the previous version. So it's something new to this one. Anything I try to change turns out to be pointless since it goes back to that profile with any new document created or if you switch between apps.

It also happens to me since the update of last March 10th.
