Two questions: How come and How do i get it fixed?
I am making my drawings in PS, when I trace it in AS I wanna use the exact same colors as I used in PS... but as you see I am having problems getting it done.

Help!
Import the image as a pallet. In the pallete thing, choose "costum image" or something like that, then left click the color you want to set it as the fill color. Right click (or control click or whatever) to set is as the line color.
This is probably because AS uses 255,255,255 and that PS project used 128,128,128, so you can't just copy the color values. If the first suggestion doesn't work, you could copy the hexadecimal code, which should be the same.
If you use my Adjust Colors script you can overcome this. The actual explanation is that there are two distinct ways of describing RGB space, and that Photoshop uses one and AS uses another.
However... my program will correctly sort things out and you can also enter the values as HSB (which, BTW, are same in both programs -- which is to say that a Hue value combined with a brightness and saturation value will be the same no matter what program you use -- that describes a colorspace much more precisely).
Now -- Adjust Colors can do a whole lot more than just this, but it's worth noting that it will handle this part just fine.
Edit: Actually, while my script will indeed handle these situations correctly, it would really require a button to set the colors absolutely (trust me, you need to know a lot about colorspace to make it work without that). That seems useful to me so I'll add it tomorrow for at least my purposes, and if anyone else wants they can download and use as well.
Actually, now that I've altered my script to allow absolute color setting, I see there was no problem in your original post. Which is to say the AS color settings for that hue are indeed the correct ones in Photoshop (for one thing, the hex codes are the same).
Now, as to why it doesn't DISPLAY that way in your own Photoshop could be a whole lot of things. PS allows you to alter your monitor colorspace (to more closely match printers, for one small example) as well as many other things. But the bottom line is this -- in my own Photoshop (correctly color matched to my monitor and video output) the hue values you have are the same as they are in AS -- they look identical.
So to solve your problem you actually need to go to Photoshop and adjust the way it displays those colors so when you use them they will match. There is a Color Settings box that will allow you to do this but you must proceed carefully unless you understand fully what you are doing. If it helps I am using North America General Purpose 2 for the overall settings.
