Photoshop or InDesign CS6 - which one is correct?

I got stuck on a problem where I couldn't get Acrobat's print to match what I print out of Photoshop (Epson 7880) using Source>Print Profile "Photoshop Manages Colors" workflow.
I traced the problem to InDesign.
The screenshot below shows the Photoshop sRGB document (left) with the blue background, 22/56/158.
The right side shows InDesign blue background (sRGB is Working RGB) with the identical 22/56/158 RGB fill.
Open the screenshot in Photoshop (use the embedded profile, sRGB), and sample the blue background in each app.
There is a considerable difference between them that could account for the difference I am complaining about the prints not matching.
So I have to wonder which app is correct, Photoshop or InDesign...if I am missing something?

conroy,
do you have a custom monitor profile, or sRGB equivalent?
your Id screenshot cuts off the area i can confirm you are using RGB (not CMYK), i also can't tell what your Id working RGB is, or your Ps Source Profile - so it is hard for me to understand what you did
however, Ps' color picker on my MacBookPro CS6 looks like yours - the one i posted was from my MacPro CS6 and what i am used to seeing in Ps
that may be a clue -- how do i get my MacPro to use that style color picker in Ps?

my Id document only has RGB objects, the blue swatch is "RGB"
my Id Working RGB is sRGB (the same as my Ps Source Profile)
in theory, the same RGB numbers using the same source profile should "match" on the monitor (calibrated or generic) in this test (if InDesign converts its Working RGB to Monitor RGB like Photoshop)
moreover, getting Info in Ps on each app's blue background should be a numerical "match" in my screenshot, they're not

  • Frequent crashes in Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign CS6

    Installed CS6 Design Standard on Windows 7 64 bit PCs. We get frequent crashes in Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign. Specifically for InDesign it says it was due to an unhandled exception (exception code c0000005) and APPFRAMEWORK.rpln. The PCs are Dell Optiplex 7010 with 16 gigs of ram. Is this a common problem in Win 7 and CS6? What can be done to fix this?

    It's not a "common problem" and your info suggests that this is not at all related to Adobe at all. It's some driver crashing. Find the exact system info and crash details:

  • ICal duplicates ? Which ones are correct ones?

    I synched my iPhone 5 for the first time with my new MacBook Pro through iTunes today to get my music. I also use iCloud.
    Now, iCal on the Mac has many duplicates. iPhone 5 seems OK. How do I get rid of the duplicates?
    iCal on the Mac clearly shows a set of calendars for the Mac and a set for iCloud ? I am supposed to use just one set ? which one?
    Problem is calendar events on the Mac are the most up-to-date ones, I am not use I would want to delete them. Can anybody help?
    Thanks a lot,
    Anne-Marie

  • Unique Visitors: Bc vs Google Analytics - which one is correct?

    hi,
    generally the unique visitor stats on Bc (Admin) for my site are significantly higher on Bc than shown in Google Analytics... which one should i trust?
    regards,
    Frank.

    I've noticed this too and I've always assumed that BC tracks some spider hits in their analytics which is why the number is larger on BC's tracking.  I don't know for sure, but on the old forums we had an informed discussion about this with some staffers but I forget what the conclusion was.  It's either inaccurate unique visitor tracking or they are tracking spiders/bots and not real users.
    I'd trust Google's stats.  As of now, they're the "Kleenex" of web analytics and they've earned that trust.

  • Can't open InDesign CS6

    I am trying to open up InDesign CS6 which I downloaded 3 years ago. At one point I did have InDesign CC but I never used it and canceled my "subscription" about a year ago. Now when I try to open InDesign CS6, it automatically takes me to the Adobe "Renew Subscription" window for CC. I have never had this problem with Photoshop or Illustrator and I used/have both CS6 and CC for those applications. HOW DO I OPEN InDesign CS6??

    uninstall everything cc on your computer and then run the cleaner for cc, Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    then open id cs6>click help>activate>enter your serial number.
    if that fails, uninstall id cs6, clean for cs6 and then reinstall id cs6.

  • Did Creative Suite 2 bundle include Photoshop/Illustrator/InDesign CS4?

    Hi, I am trying to price Creative Cloud into my monthly budget and thought I could get the $29.99 deal since I have Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign CS4, which came out in 2008. But when I log in after registering within the products the only product that comes up in my account is CS2, purchased in 2006. Have I missed something? I know sometimes the naming conventions can confuse me, and that the CS2 bundle could have included the CS4 editions, but I still think the dates are wrong. Thanks.

    If your account does not show your CS4 serial numbers https://www.adobe.com/account.html there are 2 possibilities
    1 - you never registered the programs by activating online (I think it was possible to use the programs and click NO when asked to activate/register those old versions)
    or
    2 - you used a different email address and Adobe ID (this actually happens fairly often... and people forget that they have used multiple identities)
    No... CS2 and CS4 were completely different products, with different serial numbers

  • Cannot handle the request because a modal dialog or alert is active in indesign CS6, C#

    Hello,
    I'm having bunch of indesign CS6 files. I have written piece of code in C# which opens indesign files & exports those files to xml & pdf. If I run the exe, it works properly. But when I schedule it via task scheduler (runs at point of time without
    human intervention), it throws an error "Cannot handle the request because a modal dialog or alert is active" which results in failure of my process. This error keeps me annoying. So how to over come this error?
    Any help would be grateful. Thanks in advance.

    Hello,
    Thank you for your post.
    But your issue is out of support range of VS General Question forum which mainly discusses the usage issue of Visual Studio IDE such as
    WPF & SL designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System
    and Visual Studio Editor.
    Because your issue is involved to InDesign CS6 which is third-party, we don’t support it, so I will move it to Off-topic forum.

  • CD for indesign CS6

    I have lost my cd for installations of CS6 (upgrade from CS3). I still have de licens key and my questions is if you can send me a new cd or link to it.
    BR
    Therése

    Hi BR,
    If your CS6 is a full version than you dont need to download any of the previous version and simply start off with the installation of the new product but if you had this product as an upgrade version , under that scenario we will need the previous version serial number during the installation .
    For eg , you are installing Indesign CS6 which is an upgrade version , during the initial stages of the installation , It wil be asking  you to enter the serial number twice . First entry of the serial number would be for CS6 product and the second would be for the previous version .
    Hence you dont have to have all the products installed . Simply install CS6 and keep the key handy for the previous version as well .

  • Comparsion of Adobe InDesign CC and Adobe InDesign CS6

    Is Adobe InDesign CC worth paying the yearly subscription cost or should I continue with Adobe InDesign CS6 which has a perpetual license?

    Let's put it this way: if you cannot spend the money for any reason, it's better to have something then nothing. CS6 is running well, but, of course, you're missing the latest developments. As long as you stay in the "print" area, I don't think it's absolutely necessary to change. Keep in mind though, that people with CC cannot send you 'native" file (idml is still possible). If you're into 'epub-ing", then I would consider a subscription for CC 2014.
