Indesign CS5 is automatically altering the appearance of RGB images on the screen?

I am working on the layout for a plant field guide. The photos are all RGB files and when placed into indesign they appear as they should. However on some pages (pages where there are lots of images) the colour automatically appears as if converted to CMYK. This appearance suddenly applys to the whole page and every image displayed. If I drag one of these images which looks terrible in CMYK to the next page it goes back to looking like it does in RGB.
I have tried changing the colour management of the images in Photoshop and Indesign and saving files as every possible format (jpg, png, tiff, psd, pdf etc). Makes no difference.
When I expert the document to pdf for printing - the same thing has occured. The one page - with lots of images - has generated with the appearance of CMYK but the following page with fewer images still has bright colours (same as the RGB original file). When I print this pdf to a CMYK printer the files print as per the pdf - the page with images which appear in CMYK colour format - look dull and are not true to the flowers colours and the other page prints as per the RGB files - perfectly.
Can anyone tell me how I can override this change in Indesign CS5? It seems to have little to do with the colour management of the images and more to do with the percentage of the page which is RGB colour images.
Any help would be much appreciated.

This is the first time I've posted in a help forum. This solved all my problems. Hopefully I didn't offend to many CMYK inks along the way.
You guys are brilliant.
I am a converted friend.
Cheers

HT2486 want to know how to add pictures to address book that DO NOT appear as fullscreen images on the iPhone but remain as icons with the iPhone background visible

want to know how to add pictures to address book that DO NOT appear as fullscreen images on the iPhone but remain as icons with the iPhone background visible (see attached image). for some reason, all new contacts added through Mountain Lion appear as fullscreen caller ID images.

This would be better addressed in the iPhone forum, I would post there as well.

When clicking "Save image as" how can I get Firefox to auto add a (1) (2) etc at the end of the filename if an image with the same filename already exists?

How can I get Firefox to automatically rename images when clicking "Save image as" on the menu, when an image with the same file name already exists in the folder??

Hello,
That is not a feature that is supported natively within Firefox but there are various add-ons which I think will do the job you need.
The one I have used is [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/web-slide-show/?src=search Web Slide Show]. This is primarily an add-on for viewing a slideshow of images when they are presented as thumbnails on a web page. However once you are in the slideshow there is a download button which will download all the images in the slideshow. It will automatically rename the images if an image with the same name already exists in the folder.
If you don't like that add-on then here are some others that may do the same job:
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/image-download-%E2%85%B1/?src=search Image Download II]
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/En-us/firefox/addon/image-picker/ Image Picker]
I hope that helps. Let me know if not.
Also I notice that you are using Firefox v23. That is now an outdated version. To get the latest security updates I suggest updating to version 24. See the support article here: [[Update Firefox to the latest version]].

How do I change the dimensions of an image? The Image Size dialog box will not allow me to change it

How do I change the dimensions of an image? The Image Size dialog box will not allow me to change dimensions. I am taking an online class and the Image Size dialog box looks different than the one I am seeing in Photoshop CC. It has the option to change the dimensions.

When you say chage the dimentions, do you mean crop the image and adjust the size of the image at the same time, or do you mean you want to just resize the image? Can you post a screen shot of what you're trying to do?

Indesign CS5 with PNG file exporting as a PDF file but the text is random bold

Hello,
I am looking for help to teach me how to solve this problem.
I use Indesign CS5 to make a proposal. I set the page marker and sub title in the master page.
Of course, there are including dozens of pages and some pictures here.
And one of these page, I place a PNG file and type some text.
When I export this file as a PDF file, one page, which is including PNG file, the text becomes random bold.
Therefore, I have used PSD file to cover the PNG file. But finally getting the same problem.
So does anyone can help me how to solve this problem?
Thanks so much for your help.

This sounds like a known issue with transparency on the page. When transparency is introduced ID uses a differnt method, apparently, of rendering text on that page and it appears bolder on screen and can print that way on low resolution devices like desktop printers. It usually is not a problem on press output.
The only way to mainatian consistency would be to introduce transparency on all pages, perhaps by adding a transparent object to your master page.

Why is Indesign CS5.5 Sooooo Slow When it Goes to Deeeper of the Document

Hi all,
I've got a question recently in using Indesign CS5.5 on a MacbookPro with i7 processor, 8GB RAM and MacOS LION 10.7.2. The interaction turns to be extremely slow when I go deeper of the document. The response is quick at the beginning of the document, but when I turn to 15 pages or later, it takes several seconds to change font and adjust the text frame. I have almost tried all the solutions including readjust the virtual memory or shut down other applications while editing my Indesign file, but it just keeps performing this way.
Is there anyone who has the same problem with me? I hope I can get some useful suggestions from you guys. Thanks!

The blog post below lists several reasons why InDesign can be slow:

How to automatically remove the wiki page's images from the Images library , when a wiki page is deleted

I have noted the following strange behavior inside my Publishing enterprise wiki site collection. Now by default when I create a new wiki page and I add Pictures to it, the pictures will be saved under the “Images” library and will be inside a unique folder
that have its name similar to the page name.
But when users delete the picture from the wiki page or they delete the whole wiki page, then the related folder inside the “Images” library will not be removed. So can anyone advice if there is a way to automatically remove the page’s pictures
folder from the Images library when the page is deleted? as currently i might end up having many pictures inside the Images library which are not linked to a wiki page, and they will waste my server desk space...

I think, not sure, there's no out-of-the-box solution in SharePoint for this problem. So I can only think of custom solution:
In event Receiver, ItemDeleting, you can delete images. The only downside is if some other pages are referring the images..... you need to check somehow which is quite time-consuming operations if you have thousand of pages in wiki library
A timer job, that will run periodically, every day or week, and clean all unused images.
Hide the default delete button and add your own. And then using your own custom layout page, show a 'configuration dialog' to user if they want to delete both page and images.
Thanks,

Please do not tell me this is not supported out of the ox ,,,,, i that i should handle this process by myself !!! and SharePoint does not support this feature .... this is another problem i should include in my list .....

Correcting the Green screen tint appearing while loading images to the screen?

.... the Infamous Green tint that invades the screen, is still there on a whole lot of images - not all, a problem which occurs while images are loading to the screen for viewing. And it's on both the iMac whee it started, and the Macbook.
It was a problem that resulted from an Aperture update last year I think. Any clues?
Thanks,
Raphael

Today, after a year of trying to get rid of thei problem, an Aperture "Craetive" at the Apple store found a way to correct it after contemplating it for about 15 seconds.
Here is the remedy:
To get rid of it, select image(s), go to Photo in the menu bar, hold down Option key, click on Generate Preview in the drop down menu. Wait for it to finish processing - a few seconds. Done.

On the browser the previws are distorted images of the master......

When I adjust, a master image , cropp , modify exposure etc....when I go back to the browser all of those images in previous appertures I was able to see the version correctly on the browser, Now it appears the master distortionated depending on the adjusment s done....then, going to the viewer that distortionated image stays for a coule of seconds and then resets to my version.....Some one knows what is hapening and how to solve it ?, so I can see on the browser the versions.....(of course without loosing the masters)
Thank you

hello, this sounds like a problem possibly caused by malware on your pc. please go to ''firefox > addons > extensions'' & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

IPhoto rotates images in slideshow even though the thumbnail for that images has the correct orientation.

This problem seems bizarre to me considering iPhoto 11 has worked with out a hitch since I upgraded from 09 ages ago. The photos in my album suddenly changed orientation from landscape to portrait and vice versa and sometimes upside down. I first notice this problem after I tried to click and drag a large number of photos directly from iPhoto to Finder. I did a Command-A to highlight all the photos from my album and tried to drag them to a folder in Finder. There are 34,000 photo in this album but only half were copied, (I guess 34,000 items is too much for Lion to copy all at once). I tried fixing this orientation problem by highlighting all affected photos and selecting "Revert to Original" which fixed the orientation of the thumbnails. But when you double click on a thumbnail to view the pictures or view the album in a slideshow, some of the pictures still have the incorrect orientation but most were corrected. Also if I double click on an affected photos to edit it with iPhoto image editor the image suddenly orientates itself correctly. Then as soon as I close the image editor and view the photo or start a slide show it's displayed with the incorrect orientation again. How is that possible that all my thumbnails are orientated properly but when I view the photo it's rotated sideways or sometimes rotated upside down? Any help or insight to my problem would be much appreciated.

Revereting to original will not fix the problem. When you invoke that menu option iPhoto will read the file again, see the tag that tells it to rotate the file and will rerotate it.
The most reliable way to fix this is to rotate those file before they are imported into iPhoto. Upload from the camera to a folder on the Desktop, rotate those that need rotating, rename if desired and import. I use Xee for that because it can rotate the file losslessly.

Can I include the file names of images in the image itself?

*How can I get the file names of images on each image (without entering them by hand)?*
(I am bring 250 images into a Keynote document, with each image on its own slide. I want to have the file names of the images shown on each slide or image. This doesn't need to look nice.)
(If I can't do this in Aperture, I also have Photoshop Elements. Is there a way to do that in Elements?)

You can't do this directly via Ap3. There are plug in's i believe that make it possible. Maybe someone knows more? Allan

Question about setting the background from an image over the internet.

Hello ,
If I want the background of my panel to be set from an image over the internet directly do I just add that URL right away like this :
protected final static String imagePath = "http://www.engr.wisc.edu/2010/background.jpg";
   icon = new ImageIcon(AuthScreen.imagePath);
        JPanel panel = new JPanel(){
            protected void paintComponent(Graphics g)
          Dimension d = getSize();
          g.drawImage(icon.getImage(), 0, 0, d.width, d.height, null);
          super.paintComponent(g);
          };instead of this :
protected final static String imagePath = "d:\\javaapps\\bg.jpg";cuz I did that but it isnt working .
Thanks.

I don't see how, try it out:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.image.*;
import java.net.URL;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.imageio.*;
public class ForumJunk{
ForumJunk(){

    f.pack();
    f.setVisible(true);
public static void main(String[] args) {
    new ForumJunk();
class MyJPanel extends JPanel{
    BufferedImage bi = null;
    MyJPanel(){
      try{
        bi = ImageIO.read(new URL("http://www.kodiakfishingbc.com/Editor/assets/chris03resize.jpg"));
        this.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(bi.getWidth(), bi.getHeight()));
      }catch(java.io.IOException e){
        System.out.println(e.toString());
    public void paintComponent(Graphics g){
//      super.paintComponent(g);
      ((Graphics2D)g).setBackground(Color.green);
      g.clearRect(0, 0, bi.getWidth(), bi.getHeight());
      g.drawImage(bi,0, 0, this);
      super.paintComponent(g);

Can the Add To Cart image render the hand cursor to look more like a clickable link?

I have used a custom image for the add to cart tag - {tag_addtocart,<img src="/images/fg_buttonbuy.jpg" width="203" height="76" />} - however our client is worried people will be unsure if that's where they click to add the product to the cart as the cursor stays as the arrow and doesn't change to the hand like when clicking on other links.
I was pointed to this page http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_button_test and told I was able to customise my code so that it did render the hand. I've done a little bit of trial and error however am unsure how to add the button code to the add to cart tag.
If anyone is able to assist it would be greatly appreciated!

I tried the target the class but there was no class associated with the button rendered:
<img src="/images/button.gif" alt="" onclick="AddToCart(83934,3349995,'',3,'','',false);return false;">
Can I wrap it in <span class="button"><img . . .></span>? If so does it need to be assigned to the link. ie. .button img a { cursor:pointer; }
Thanks.
