Colors in other graphics turn dull when placing new graphics

When I place a new graphic on a page, the graphics in other images turn dull.
I just now placed a new graphic on a page (a grayscale tif), filled it with a color, applied a transparency effect, and immediately an adjacent graphic's colors turned dull, as if shifting from rgb to cmyk.
Is this supposed to happen? Have I missed something?
InDesign CS6, MacOSX Mountain Lion.

Adding transparency does, indeed, affect the entire spread. If everything is RGB, set the blend space to RGB, Edit > Transparency Blend Space > Document RGB.

PNG Renders from 3Ds Max turn pale when placed in InDesign , Why?

Hello.
When I place my renders from 3DS Max 2010 in Adobe InDesign CS6 with OS Windows 7 they become pale, even when exported as a PDF. I have tried Googling solutions but this keeps bringing up transparency settings.
I know this information is vague but I do not know what other information is needed.
Does anyone know why this is happening or a solution?
Thank you

You'll have a difficult time finding many people who place PNG files directly in InDesign.
That said, here is something you should check out. There is a setting for Applying Gamma Correction in the options when placing a PNG file. It was posted as an obscure feature in the most recent InDesignSecrets.com podcast:
http://indesignsecrets.com/watch_listen/indesignsecrets-podcast-204
Worth checking out to see if that might work.

Some photos pulled from iPhoto turn green when placing them in a project. Is there any way to fix this?

I am using a Macbook Pro with 2GHz Intel Core i7 processor; 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 memory and OS 10.9.4. I have iPhoto 9.5.1 and iMovie 10.0.4. I have a project with video, and have added some still photos from my iPhoto Library. All of the photos appear fine until I add them to a project. Then some of them turn to a solid green. If I create a mp4 from this project, the offending photos remain green.
I have checked the offenders in iPhoto to see if there is a common denominator. There is no common camera and no common editing. I did make a previous attempt to place some of the photos into an iMovie project and some of them were dropped into the wrong place--like into a title. But didn't notice any glitches at that time, only afterwards and I'm not sure if any of the problem photos were a part of that incident.
I have absolutely no problem with iPhoto. Is there a library file that can be deleted to force iMovie to rebuild its connection to iPhoto.

Vector file turning transparent when placing into ps

Hi,
am hoping someone can help me. I have a vector image that I am trying to place into a PS document. For some reason as soon as I click to accept the placement, the vector image becomes transparent.
It is only happening (thankfully) with this particular file so I am assuming it must be some setting in Illustrator that I am not aware of. I purchased the file from a stock image site. (sadly I am not clever enough to create my own lol).
Any ideas?

hi Manish
thanks for the quick response. Unfortunately, I can't share the file. it would be against the TOS of the stock photo site from where I purchased it.
The only way I can prevent other layers from showing through this particular file is by duplicating it. So I'm guessing that the opacity is somehow being reduced. But no idea why, and when I click on the layer it says it is at full opacity, and normal blending. The ppacity remains at full when in Illustrator, so if I put another image behind this particular file then there is no problem. It is only when moving this file into PS that it becomes see through.
Adding a couple of preview screenshots so you can see what I mean.

Background turns blue when opening new file or exiting file.

Hello,
I am working in Photoshop cs6 on a PC, Windows 7. I was working on my Wacom tablet and accidentally dropped my pen tool on the tablet. When I looked up, my background was blue. I'm not sure what happened, but I can't figure out how to change it back to white. It must have changed something, just don't know what. This happens if I open a "new page" or if I open an exiting file. I checked preferences, it all seems ok there.
Photoshop open normally as seen below. Second photo show what it looks like when opening a new screen or an existing file. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

There's a preference to change the color of the screen. I'm not at a computer right now that has PS, but you might want to try right clicking with the move tool and see is there is a menu option for changing the color. Or check the main preferences ctrl/cmd-k.

Photos color shift when placed in Pages document

I'm used to working with a color managed workflow in Aperture; my monitor and printer are both calibrated. I'm having trouble getting accurate color when those photos are placed in a Pages document - whether they're imported directly from Aperture using the Media function in Pages, or exported as a JPEG and drag-dropped over the Pages placeholder image.
The pictures take on a slight magenta-blue cast when dropped into Pages, a cast which is not present when viewed natively in Aperture, soft proofed in Aperture, or when printed from Aperture. When I export them as JPEGs, I assign an sRGB colorspace to them; Aperture, of course, treats everything as AdobeRGB until exported. Both colorspaces present the same shift.
A known good (third party) color-managed test JPEG shows the same effect, regardless of whether it's AdobeRGB or sRGB. Aperture and Pages are both the lastest versions.
I can, of course, use the image sliders to compensate somewhat, but that is extra work I shouldn't need to do!
Any help would be appreciated.

Well, it looks as though I found my own answer. Turns out the template I was using had a color correction already added to the stock photo it used. What I didn't know is that those color corrections belong to the placeholder, not the image - when a new image is dropped in, it takes on the adjustments of the slider. I think that's kind of silly, but that's the way it works.
I set the sliders to zero, dropped in a managed sRGB print, and it's perfect.
Problem solved.

When placing a png in indesign the png changes/loses its orginal color.

When placing a png in indesign the png changes/loses its original color. Ex. the very clear blue that I am using turns dark and "dirty". ( my RGB is : 5,125, 255 - when I type this I get a " out of gamut warning" a little yellow icon. When I click on it indesign automatically changes the RGB into: 67, 117, 187)
I have worked with indesign for 6 years and never experienced this before. I am guessing it has something to due with that the png is in RGB and indesign in cmyk, but I have no idea what to do about it?

Out of Gamut means the color cannot be printed in your current workspaces using CMYK inks. You would see a preview of the converted color if you move into Overprint Preview, use Proof Colors, or there is transparency and the blend space is set to CMYK.
If this is destined for screen use, then the color doesn't matter, but you should be sure the blend space is set to RGB.

GIF and PNG aliased when placed over bg image

When I use Save for Web/Devices in both Illustrator and
Photoshop, the saved files look normal and display fine in browser
and other image viewing programs. However, when I attempt to turn
them into a navigation bar or rollover, they become severely
aliased when placed into a table (which is the layout). I tried
placing them just by themselves in a XHTML document and they do not
alias, even when the body has a bg image (I am using CSS and have
encounted no other problems). This is pretty frustrating and would
appreciated any help.

Have a link for us?
My guess is you either:
a) are using gif or 8-bit png transparency, and then placing
it on a
background that is of a different color than the one in the
original file
or
b) the image is scaled and you're seeing pixelization rather
than aliasing.

MacBook Pro (mid 2012) turns on when lid is closed and MagSafe gets attached or detached.

I own a mid-2012 Macbook Pro with the 15" high resolution screen add-on (it's the model that was released alongside the new retina versions). The processor is a 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7. I run OS X 10.8.4.
I'd like to know if the following behavior is normal: when the computer is sleeping with the lid closed, and the MagSafe adaptor is either attached or detached, removing it or attaching it (with the lid still closed) will make the computer wake up from sleep. You can easily hear the fans starting when it does so. It'll stay on for 30 seconds to a minute, and then go back to sleep again. The screen doesn't seem to turn on when this happens and the lid is closed. Opening the lid when the computer exhibits this behavior results in a black (and useless) screen. In order to be able to use the pc you need to wait until it goes back to sleep on its own and then turn it back on.
Another (possibly related) issue appears when the PC turns off automatically (either while running or during sleep) because the battery is exhausted. When this happens, I usually attach the adapter (with the lid open, most of the times) and then press on the power button. A black-and-white screen with a loading bar appears for a few seconds, and then the full-color login screen appears (my pc is set to ask for the password every time it wakes from sleep). After the loading bar is gone and the full-color screen is back, I am unable to input my password, even though the password field looks focused. Neither the keyboard nor the mouse are responsive. This often happens in such a way that it is impossible for me to input my password (or interact with my pc) before it goes back to sleep for lack of interaction. Recently I've discovered that randomly pressing the power button and some keys on the keyboard (I still don't know what exactly triggers this) will make it able to receive input and thus I'll be able to type in my password and log in.
I'd like to know if any of you have encountered the two behaviors I've described and if you think they're normal or have any solutions for them.

Hello terabytest,
I would be concerned too if my MacBook Pro exhibiting the behavior you described. For a message like this, I recommend resetting your System Management Controller (SMC) and NVRAM.
Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own
Note: Portable computers that have a battery you should not remove on your own include MacBook Pro (Early 2009) and later, all models of MacBook Air, and MacBook (Late 2009).
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.
You can find the full article here:Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Why does my screen turn black when I play iTunes while working on iPhoto?

Why does my screen turn black when I play ITunes while working on iPhoto? I can't click off of the screen but get a message that reads Shut down computer by pressing button in back then turn computer back on by pushing button in back. That's followed by Chinese letters (which I cannot read). I have had other problems when playing iTunes (actually, a radio station on the Internet) while working on iPhoto. Before, I got a window that would pop up and tell me I had no disk space available, that I would have to quit applications that were open. Not many were open.
It would be nice if I could solve this problem once and for all.
Thanks in advance for all the suggestions. I truly appreciate your help.
Jan

That was easy. Thanks. Jan

Is there a way to prevent an image from turning blue when selecting it?

I'm exported a pdf from InDesign that will be used as a brochure for one of the exhibitions at our museum. I'm wondering if there's any way to prevent an image from turning blue when a reader clicks on it. Since all of the images are works of art, I'd rather that they not change color when people click on them.
I changed the security settings so the images couldn't be copies, hoping that would prevent the blue square, but it didn't help.
thanks for any suggestions.
Chris

There are several ways to do that and here are but two of them.
1. If you want to make a new image you can right click on the channel, click on Duplicate Channel and under Destination>Document, select New
2. If you want to add a new layer to your document, click on the channel in the channels panel, go to Select>All, then Edit>Copy, click on RGB in the channels panel and then Edit>Paste

PDFs missing bleed when placed

I'm having an occasional weird problem in InDesign: I place an advertisement which has bleeds and cropmarks. These bleeds and cropmarks disappear in InDesign even though the frame is plenty large enough to show all of it. This happens occasionally both with ads I receive and with files that I create by exporting to PDF (the bleeds are there but don't show up when I place the PDF in another document). With my own files, I can ultimately print to PDF (instead of exporting) and get it to work, but I don't know what to do with this ad I just received:
http://www.rotor.com/temp/LifePortAd.pdf
The cropmarks and bleeds are always missing when placed -- whether it's a new document or an existing one. Are they somehow marked as non-printing in the PDF?
Any ideas?
Thanks, Phyllis

Okay, I didn't notice that you could turn off the fixups (some of the profiles had specifically warned me that they were going to change the document). But most of those I'm not too sure about running anyhow. But the analysis ones look useful. "PDF analysis > List images below 250 ppi" seems like a very good one to run each time. I don't know what else I'd use. Ultimately I have to create a PDF with my printer's joboptions anyhow, but it'd be good to find out obvious problems from the start.
Thanks!

Colors in other graphics turn dull when placing new graphics
