Embedded Grayscale profile not apparent in InDesign CS3

Hi,
I'm creating a black and white document in InDesign. I've taken great care in converting an existing image I have to grayscale and saved it with the default grayscale profile embedded.
Now, when I place the PSD in InDesign, it appears different, less contrast, etc. InDesign's colour settings don't show any info on grayscale, so is there a way can I have the image appear in InDesign as it does on Photoshop?
Thanks.

ID doesn't have grayscale space. If you turn on Overprint or Separation Preview a grayscale's preview is managed by the document's CMYK profile (as if it were on the black plate). In PS you can use CMYK profiles to manage grayscales, so to get the closest match you have to use the same CMYK profile as the grayscale space in PS. Do that via Color Settings>Gray>Load Gray...and load the CMYK profile. You might need to click More Options to get the Load option.

  • Text Wrap options not showing in InDesign CS3

    Using InDesign CS3 on a Mac 10.4.  I've had this problem for a couple of months now and it's getting past the point of annoying.  When I open my text wrap options pallete it's blank even when I expand options.  I can see the text wrap icons in my header panel, but I no longer have options to change the right/left/top/bottom margins.  Just a general "add wrap" and "remove wrap".  Is there any way I can get my pallete back?  I've tried defaulting my tools, but still it does not show up.  I don't know what to do to get it back.

    Did you try resetting preferences? While pressing Shift+Option+Command+Control, start InDesign. Click Yes when asked if you want to delete preference files. If you don't get the message about deleting preferences, you weren't fast enough.

  • Photoshop File with Layered Set to Multiply Not Honored in InDesign CS3

    I am placing a PSD file from Photoshop CS3, that has a reflection/shadow layer set to Multiply with an additional layer of the model set to Normal within Photoshop. When I place this PSD in InDesign CS3, the Multiply inside of the Photoshop file is not honored.
    Is this Normal Behavior?
    Thanks

    Hey all,
    I've encountered this same problem in CS3, and for the life of me, I thought I remember in CS2 that the layers were indeed honored--hence the advantage of using native PSD files in InDesign. This was so any effects (transparency or otherwise) would be carried over in the InDesign file, therefore removing the limitations of using legacy formats like TIFF or EPS, which did not allow this type of dynamic workflow.
    Give us your thoughts on this, as it has hindered a couple of jobs in CS3 which required the effects exactly as explained above by the OP.
    Thanks!

  • ICC Profiles Not Available in InDesign CS4

    Hello all-
    I have a lot of ICC profiles installed on my system (OS X 10.6.2); some are in /Library/ColorSync/Profiles/ and some are in ~/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/.
    They are not available in InDesign CS4, even though every other app (including Photoshop, Illustrator and Acrobat) see them just fine.
    Is this a know issue/bug with CS4 and Snow Leopard? I don't recall having this issue on my old machine.

    A followup to this issue:
    This morning I couldn't launch Illustrator CS4, it kept crashing at launch. Scanning through the OS X crashlog I noticed 511 "Iterative Profile" errors:
    ###  com.apple.ColorSync               0x91e1981d iterateProfilesInDirectory + 1020
    I went into my /Library/ColorSync/Profiles folder and noticed there was now an alias pointing into Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Profiles/, which already contained an alias back to /Library/ColorSync/Profiles to get around the InDesign issue (as described above, which was working fine to this point). This created an infinite loop...
    I did not create this new alias... any idea where it might have come from?
    (Adobe needs to fix InDesign so it looks in the correct locations for profiles... the user shouldn't have to resort to manipulating aliases to enable profiles that are otherwise in the correct locations, and why do Adobe apps need their own profiles folder anyway????? As with their private Fonts folder, it does nothing but over-complicate matters...)

  • Can not scroll in Indesign CS3

    I am new to InDesign and I find this very frustrating. I can not use my scroll when I am in InDesign CS3 at certain times. Once I loss the capabilities, I have to close the document and reopen it. I can scroll while in other programs like illustartor and photoshop, internet explorer, but not indesign.
    I am on Windows XP and have a Microsoft wireless laser Mouse 5000. The mouse works in other applications.
    Thanks for any help!

    You might try looking for another mouse driver. This was a common complaint in CS2, but less so in CS3. My Logitech mouse won't scroll in Illustrator, but you say yours will. Go figure.

  • Can not I develop InDesign CS3 plug-in on MAC OS X 10.6?

    I notice that InDesign CS3 requires xCode 2.4.1. However, i can not install xCode 2.4.1 on MAC OS X 10.6, it requires 10.4.

    Which version of MAC sdk you are using? 10.5 or 10.4u? The CS3 projects are generated on 10.4 or later version?
    I tried to use xCode 3.2 on MAC 10.6 to build the projects generated by xCode 2.4.1 (MAC 10.4), but got lots of errors saying can not find include header files.

  • Acrobat 9 pdf links not working from InDesign CS3. What is wrong?

    My links are working in my 40 page Indesign CS3 file using Mac. After I convert to a .pdf, some of the links are no longer going to the right location. They have either duplicated other links, or trying to take me incorrectly to my desktop or network. Can't figure out what is wrong.

    Links meant to  go to an outside website are supposed to be filled out in the following format : http://www.phillipmjones.net
    in Acrobat should look something like :  This is my personal website
    In Acrobat go go create you link then click on action:
    (I'm using my own personal website as an example)
    If you choose something else such as open a file then that is what it does.

  • Network printing and Indesign cs3

    Since updating to 10.5.3 network printing has not worked with indesign cs3. We are now using 10.5.4.
    It worked with 10.4.x on the same network. I don't think the printer or the printer driver is the problem but if it matters we are using an hp deskjet 940c. Driver for the printer was updated in February when we purchased the macbook pro we are using.
    I've read a bunch of stuff on this and given that it works in 10.4.x with the same printer, drivers, and application program, I'm forced to conclude the problem lies in the OS which is the only difference.
    Any help you can give would be appreciated.

    Hello Rich,
    Can you explain how the printer is networked. Is it shared by another or does it have its own ip address? (Don't know the model so sorry for the question)
    If it is a standalone networked printer, what connection method (protocol) do you use for the printer queue?
    Are you able to print from other applications?
    Can you post the last 10 entries of the cups error log. You can find this by opening the printer queue, clicking the work Printer in the menu bar and selecting 'Log & History'.

  • Embedded profile mismatch after saving Indesign to PDF, what to do  please???

    After importing some pica's from photoshop to indesign and saving it as a pdf, I noticed that my colours are totally wrong.
    I now get the message:
    Embedded profile mismatch
    The document's embedded colour profile does not match the current RGB working space.
    The current RGB colour management policy is to discard profiles that do not match the working space.
    Embedded: Adobe RGB (1998)
    Working: sRGB IEC61966-2.1
    What do I have to do to make sure the chosen colours stay as they are??? I read something about a PDF/X-standard and
    the possibility to copy a file from one to another map, but I'm totally lost now.
    Can this be solved with the printerguy by asking joboptions???
    Just Pannicing ........
    Thnx upfront, Marjolein

    That depends on how much you care about profile mismatches. you can turn off the warning dialog in Edit> Color Settings by unchecking the "ask when opening" button. Otherwise, you might want to note the document profile, then set your application back to that.

  • "Missing Profile - The doc does not have an embedded CMYK profile"

    For the first time ever last Wednesday each time I open a file in AI - CS3 I get the same message: "Missing Profile - The doc does not have an embedded CMYK profile". I looked in library>colorsync>profiles and sure enough they were gone? I downloaded new profiles from Adobe, installed them in library>colorsync>profiles - and still the same thing with each file I open. I dragged AI to the trash, re-installed AI from my disc repeated the process with the same results - HELP!
    I don't seem to be able to find any info on the Adobe forum, I realize I need to upgrade but for now what is the solution - Thanks in advance. Boatingislife!

    Hi Larry, Thanks for your reply along with Muppet Mark, If I changed the color settings originally it was not my intension, I was simply just opening the next project to work on and viola’ “missing profiles”.
    Attachment (picture) 7 was my last setting for color prior to your email, and yes I was messing around with this last night comparing it to one of our old G4’s, so I can’t remember where it started out before I got my hands on it.
    Attachment (picture) 8 is my current settings based on your email recommendations.
    Attachment (picture) 6 is the message I receive when I open any files created prior to these changes I just made. However after I open and resave the file I no longer receive this (picture 6) message.
    My question is will my color be back to where it was before the problem started last week. In looking over one of the files I opened (I design/build transportation maps btw) most of the color is where I usually have it set however some colors were fractional as if they were converted from spot colors. SO I’m not sure what to do except go through all the known colors and make sure they are where I usually would set them, or do you have a better suggestion.
    Oh by the way – for all you guys that are helping lunch is on me at McDonalds on Michigan St in Grand Rapids, MI!!

  • Indesign CS3 : Inset spacing preview in text box not there anymore.

    Hi!
    In Indesign CS2, I could see a "preview" of the inset spacing of my text boxes in "Preview Mode (W)".
    In Indesign CS3, I can't see it anymore unless I move my text boxes (the preview of the inset spacing of my text boxes shows only when I move the boxes).
    This is bad, because I can't see really fast which boxes have inset spacing and which ones don't.
    Please help me!
    Thanks,
    Chris.

    Yes.
    Normal Mode hides all of those things. But Preview Mode shows all of those things (unless otherwise selected in the "View" menu).
    I need to see the inset spacing of my text boxes in Preview Mode without having to move them.
    Here is an image of my text box in Preview Mode (guides, invisible characters, etc. are visible, but not the inset spacing): http://www.chris.lafacade.com/share/01.jpg
    Here is an image of my text box in Preview Mode while I move my box. As you can see, the inset spacing shows: http://www.chris.lafacade.com/share/02.jpg
    I need the inset spacing to show all the time in Preview Mode.
    Thanks!
    Chris.

  • CS3 Indesign 5.0.2 - futura OTF now not showing in Indesign, does in Illustrator

    using Futura OTF in an Indesign doc for the last few months. I opened the Indesign doc today and now Indesign does not recognize Futura OTF. The font is open in "FontAgent Pro" but is not recognized in Indesign. It does however recognize the font in Illustrator CS3, 13.0.02.
    Any ideas why?

    Where can I find these? suddenly I have exactly the same problem!!

  • Why is Merge into single pdf using InDesign CS3 and not CS4 ?

    I'm new to this so the question may be trivial, but it beats me:
    I've created some InDesign files in CS4 and want to combine them into one PDF. So I opened Acrobat 9 Pro and
    navigated to "Merge files into single pdf". I chose the CS4 InDesign files to Add and clicked the Combine Files button.
    BUT, this starts up InDesign CS3 and not InDesign CS4 and returns a pop-up saying "unidentified error".
    Why is starting CS3 InDesign and not CS4, and what is the "unidentified" error ! ?
    As background I intially installed CS3 and then updated to CS4, leaving the CS3 applications intact. When I initially
    bought CS3, just before CS4 was released I may have created pdfs from InDesign as an experiment, but it is possible I have not done this
    since upgrading to CS4.
    Thanks for any help

    Thanks Michael, I was not aware of quality issues. Actually this is not really significant for my usage this time. What I'm doing is just using ID to capture notes/images/links etc in several free format ID documents. I then planned to merge them quickly into one pdf using Acrobat. I can easily shuffle the file order around to create a handy portable pdf reference document with the Merge feature.
    Doing something similar from ID seemed to me to require me to create pdfs for each ID doc and them to merge them in Acrobat. I did start to write a simple script to do this in ID, but I then realised that I wanted the ordering to vary and the ID files would likely to change. Then I found the merge and bingo, that solved it..... Well it solved it on another CS4 installation that had never seen CS3, but not on my machine which had been upgraded from CS3.
    I tried looking in the registry for obvious entries that might point Acrobat to use ID CS3 rather than CS4, but couldn't spot anything. I wonder if there is something buried in there ?
    Thanks again for helping
    Regards.

  • Indesign CS3 & Epson r2400 not printing tabloid paper

    Indesign CS3 & Epson r2400 not printing tabloid paper. MAC OS 10.5.6. Have tried all configurations of page set up 11 x17 and 8.5 x 11 spreads, custom page sizes and default paper set up. The print comes out cut off. Epson says it's an Indd problem. Very inconvenient. Got any ideas?

    I'm having the same problem with IDCS3 5.0.4 and an Epson Stylus PRO 3800 on Mac OS X 10.5.6 with version 6.11 of the Epson driver. I have a 17x17 document in InDesign that I am trying to print on 17x22 paper. The paper spools a little less than half-way down and the print begins, but it prints about 1/4 of the image--it is as if it cropped at 8.5x11 at the top right corner of the image.
    I have had to resort to saving the file as a high-res jpeg and printing from Preview as a workaround. Unreal.
