Total ink coverage problem with images

Hey there!
I have this strange problem I cannot figure out. Any advice would be highly aprecciated. I'm making a magazine in Indesign and when I export the pdf (or print postcript file and distill the pdf) then the total area coverage of inks of the images are way over limit when I check it in Acrobat.
I have converted all the images from RGB to CMYK using correct profiles. I have several different papers in the magazine, so I used Fogra27 (300 total ink) for coated papers and custom Swop for uncoated paper (260 total ink).
When I preflight the document in Indesign then it's says all the ICC profiles are embedded in the images.
I even tried to export from Indesign with the overall color profile included. But it's the same problem.
I cannot figure out why the images are still over limit?
The conversion of the images with correct profile should avoid the total ink to be over the top, right? I have tons of images, so adjusting the channels manually for dark places is not really an option.
Thanks a lot!

>Keep the apps in the same colorspace as the Photoshop files you can sync your apps in Bridge is you own the suite.
Risto can't do that because in PS he needs to separate the uncoated and coated images using different CMYK spaces and place them in one ID document. The ID document can have only one assigned CMYK space.
The job really needs to be split into two documents one for the uncoated and one for the coated signatures then there wouldn't be conflicting profiles and all the previews will be accurate.
He can stay in one document but the placed files can't have embedded profiles, or the conflicting embedded profiles need to be turned off in ID. In that case the previews would be less accurate, but there wouldn't be unwanted conversions at output.

    Well what profile does the Acrobat file have embedded? Sounds like you are doing a conversion upon creation.

  • Experiencing problem with image display in LR5

    I have an intermittent problem with images displaying and exporting in LR. It just began a couple of months ago and is totally random - will do it with RAW (CR2) or JPG. It displays this way in all modules - Library, Develop, Slideshow....The image displays fine in a non-Adobe image viewer (Faststone or Windows Viewer). I've reloaded LR5 and PSCC and is still persists. I know the image file is fine. It also has begun effecting older images that were showing up just fine a while ago. I just loaded about 200 images and maybe 3 or so have this viewing problem in LR & PS. Has anyone else experienced it and have a suggested fix? My graphics card has the latest drivers and shows no problems with other applications. Here is the same image - one a jpg export from Lighroom, the other a save as jpg from Faststone. HELP!

    This is almost always a hardware problem, causing corruption of the file. The difference you see between Lightroom and other software is that Lightroom is accessing the full RAW image, while the other software is trying to read the embedded JPG preview.
    To figure out exactly what hardware is the problem, you need to try different transmission paths and hardware ... different camera cards, different card readers or USB cables/USB ports, different hard disks, etc. Eventually you should be able to isolate the problem.

  • Problem with images opened in Photoshop CS 5

    Hi, I have a problem with images that I open in Photoshop CS 5. F. ex. I opened
    the following image:
    The image appears with a purple color in Photoshop. If I hover over the image
    with a tool like lasso, it temporarily regains it´s original color. The image mode is RGB Color, 8 Bits/Channel.
    I resetted the start settings of Photoshop with the CTRL-Shift-Alt-combination, which had no effect.

    The confusion arises from the imprecise error message in the Preferences > Performance dialog box, to wit:
    OK, that seems to be open to misunderstanding indeed.
    The video card: Citrix Systems Inc. Display Driver.
    Could not find a list for CS6 specifically, but the card may fall short.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/tested-video-cards-photoshop-cs5.html
    If I invoke View > Proof Colors, the only thing that changes is that the text in the brackets
    Also if you set View > Proof Setup to something different?
    Boilerplate-text:
    Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)?

    Hi all!
    I'm writing a simple midlet just to display an image on the screen and I'm having some problems with Image.createImage()

    I can't understand what is it...:(
    I know for sure that the problem is not "file not found"
    Any one can help me???

    If you are catching IOException, then u may have problem with ur image path. "image not found on the specified path." if ur image is not in the current directiry then put it into current directory. otherwise, If u are using resouce folder and it is already included into the resouce path, then put ur image in that folder..try this..
    Still not get, then please give some detail about ur development toolkit. and ur apllication packaging scheem. are you using ANT?

  • Problems with image scaling

    I'm facing a real problem with image scaling
    I've used several algorithms but it all has defects but the most common thing is the out of memory error after several enlargments...
    does any one know a solution...
    note:
    I've used several packages to do so,but I'm looking for a solution from the jdk itself
    JAlexscorpio

    Did you take into account that the getScaledInstance() -method creates a completly new Image?
    So if you use it like in
    ImageIcon icon1=new ImageIcon("Blah.gif");
    ImageIcon icon2=new ImageIcon(icon1.getImage().getScaledInstance(400,400,SCALE_FAST);
    you will end up with 2 different Images which have their own data and memory requirements.
    even if you use something like
    ImageIcon icon1=new ImageIcon("Blah.gif");
    Image i=icon1.getImage();
    icon1.setImage(i.getScaledInstance(200,200,SCALE_FAST));
    You will need enough memory to store the data for the original image, as well as the data for the scaled
    version of the image, at least for the time that it take the JRE to create the scaled version. You never know when the garbage collector kicks in to delete you old data so it could be that this takes some time and until
    that moment your memory is not available. If your now doing several of the scaling operations, and there is no chance for the garbage collector to do its work, you will run out of memory.
    I hope that might help, if not feel free to post again

  • Copy and Paste Problems with Images

    I'm having the strangest problems with images. I copy an image off of the web for one of my art history classes and I go to paste into another program but, whether it's Keynote, Powerpoint, Photoshop, or Graphic Converter, something always goes wrong: the images definitely lose some of their quality, become brighter in appearance, and get jagged on the edges. This is starting to drive me nuts, especially since it never happened in 10.4 on my iBook G4. Any suggestions?

    Make it an 8-bit file (Image menu > mode).

  • My daughter's older Ipod Touch is having a problem with images becoming pixilated when taken from an e-mail and placed into her camera roll. ( She wants to put on Instagram ) Any help?

    My daughter's older Ipod Touch is having a problem with images becoming pixilated when taken from an e-mail and placed into her camera roll. ( She wants to put on Instagram ) Any help?

    I think that may be a consequence of the email provider she is using. Some services (AOL is one example) inspect and modify email attachments, particularly photos, resulting in reduced resolution compared to the email that was sent.
    The iPod does not do this. The resolution of the picture in the email she receives will be identical to what is imported.

  • Problems with images uploaded to Etsy

    Hi guys,
    I'm having a huge problem with thumbnail images on my Etsy front page being pixelated when viewed on my ipad mini. I tried a few times posting this to the Etsy help forums to no avail.
    Here's what I'm doing:
    ========================
    -I'm creating a new document in photoshop with pixel dimensions of 1000 x 800 (tried lower and higher), resolution of 72 (tried higher), placed an image taken by my 14 mp digital camera, and pulled in a background I found online at 72 dpi.
    -I'm saving this as a jpeg with the 'quality' at 12. I tried saving for web and lowering the file size, didn't work.
    Other info:
    =========================
    -Other people's thumbnails look just fine
    -When viewed on my laptop monitor as well as my external monitor, everything's peachy.
    -Larger views of the image as well as other thumbnail on other pages look totally fine, it's just the main page i'm having problems with
    -I haven't actually opened the shop yet, so maybe this is just a weird thing that Etsy does.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    I'm running version 2.1 (final) now but I still have the same problem and it's very annoying problem.
    Any help on this one?
    You've run into (what I believe is) a bug in how NitroX resolves URL-paths within a JSP. NitroX is "WAR-centric", meaning that it considers the WAR's context root to be the root of the entire web-application. So it resolves the leading slash in a URL-path (e.g. /images/...) to that context root. However, J2EE web-applications may consist of several WARs deployed in one or more EARs in a single app-server instance. This means multiple context roots at the same host:port. So the correct way to resolve a leading slash in a host-relative URL-path such as "/images/..." is to map it to the root of the host:port and not to the WAR's context root.In your example, the "/images/..." should be mapped by NitroX to the equivalent of "http://localhost:8080/images/..." and not to "http://localhost:8080/birka/images/..." Your original URL-path of "./images/..." (or just "images/...") should have been mapped by NitroX to "http://localhost:8080/birka/images/..." as it is relative to the current context root. So in summary, I think your original code is correct and the problem is with NitroX.
    I reported this bug a few months ago, but haven't heard any news of its being addressed. What do you say M7-support, any update on this?
    Thank you for your reply, I will get in touch with M7-support to hear with them status of this bug. I'm running version 2.01 Final, I haven't yet tested pre-releases since they are not final

  • Lightroom 4.2 - Experiencing problems with images viewed on 2nd monitor

    Hi All,
    This problem seems to have started with my updating from 4.1 to 4.2.  I have my second monitor set as Loupe - Normal and Fit.  As I crop an image on my main monitor, the 2nd monitor view does not always change to the cropped view.  If I switch to a different photo and then back to the one I just cropped, the 2nd monitor view will then show the cropped image, but it is almost always blurry.  Sometimes I can click the image in the 2nd monitor view to change to a 1:1 view and it will look sharp, and then click again back to Fit and then it too will be sharp.  Other times I get a message in the 2nd monitor view that says "no image selected" and bouncing back and forth between a different image will correct this.
    This all started off with the majority, but not all cropped images showing as blurred and progressed to what I have described above.  I seriously though I had a focus problem with my camera!
    Is anyone else experinecing this since updating?  Suggestions?
    Below is the suggested information to provide...
    What version of Lightroom? 4.2
    Have you installed the recent updates? Yes, 4.2
    What operating system? Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
    What kind(s) of image file(s)? All images are converted to .dng upon import
    If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)? No error messages.
    What were you doing when the problem occurred? I am in the develop module cropping images etc.
    What other software are you running? Silver Efex Pro 2, but I have had that installed in many prior versions of Lightroom
    Tell us about your computer hardware. How much RAM is installed? 32 GB - Yes, I know - overkill... 
    How much free space is on your system (C:) drive? 119 GB of 223 GB of my solid state drive c:\
    Has this ever worked before? Yes
    If so, do you recall any changes you made to Lightroom, such as adding Plug-ins, presets, etc.? No other changes other than updating to 4.2
    Did you make any changes to your system, such as updating hardware, printers or drivers, or installing/uninstalling any programs?  No, no other changes.
    Thanks!

    Same problem.   Not a soloution, but this may be relevant.
