I’m very used to color management in Photoshop but am new to
Indesign and am
having a problem.
When I place an image (jpeg or tiff) in an ID file it does not display
accurately, ie the way the same digital file displays in PS on the
same
monitor. In ID the image is too dark and saturated. When I output a
pdf
file, the image displays exactly as the ID preview does, in other
words
incorrectly. I assumed that ID would display the image as does PS
assuming I
don’t tell it to ignore profiles or some other odd thing.
To keep it simple, I’ve set my ID working space to srgb. My digital
file is
a tiff or jpeg in srgb with an embedded profile. I can simply create
a new
one page file, place the image there and it displays incorrectly. The
Overprint Preview is not on and I’ve set the transparency blend
space to rgb
(others have suggested to look at these things).
My intention is to stay in an RGB world, to create PDF files for
display on
monitors. I need the images I place in the indd file to display as
they do
in PS.
I running PS and ID CS4 on Mac OS 10.4.11. For various reasons I
cannot
upgrade the OS or apps on this machine but it obviously should work
in this
environment.
If I place an sRGB image in an one page sRGB Indesign CS4 file, and
open in Photoshop CS4 (or CS5) as well, the two match. The other
obvious setting that you could check, if you haven't done so already,
is to make sure Proof Colors in the View menu is not checked.
