Emulate Adobe® Illustrator® 6.0 bug in version 25.2.1

[Waserone]

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 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.

No problem 🙂

I only lowered Photoshop as Adobe employee Ashutosh_Mishra suggested. First time I oppened Illustrator after that it was still on Emulate, but then I changed it to Custom, closed the app, open again, switched between apps and the color didn't change back, so it worked. Hope it works for you too.

Downgrading to Photoshop 22.2.0 solved the problem for now.

Good luck.
