Tiff transparency disappears when imported into InDesign C6

I have a problem With my tiffs - they lose the transparency when I import them into InDesign.
The original tiff can be imported without problems.
To ajust the size of all of the original photos, I used the Image Processor in Photoshop. This seemed to work fine, the transparency is still shown in Photoshop, but now disappears when I import the tiff into InDesign.
I do hope anyone can help me with this problem

When saving tiff in PS ensure you tick Save Transparency box:

  • PDF color changing when imported into InDesign 6

    I am importing a customers pdf into InDesign 6. When I do the import the color is changing from the original PDF colors. The original color in the pdf is 0/95/100/29 and when imported to InDesign 6 it becomes 21/98/100/12. Is there a setting I need in InDesign 6 to keep the original PDF colors intact?

    Are you using the eye dropper tool to get those numbers?  It could be the way the original PDF was created.  I have a feeling that the original settings ere set to "adapt" to color workflows or something similar.  See if you can open the PDF in Acrobat and set the file to "Leave Color Unchanged" if you can...somewhere in the file's profile or color setting.  It could also be the preview in InDesign.  If somehow there is a way to find out which color settings were applied to the PDF; you could then match those in InDesign's Color Settings.  If it is the preview reading, then the file should proof well.  If InDesign has corrupted the PDF's original color, then the file will proof bad.  I think it prudent to investigate the PDF's original Color Settings vs. InDesign's.  Try posting this question in the InDesign forum and see what you get back.  I'd be curious to know what they have to say over there.

  • Why does illustrator create white boxes from shadows when imported into indesign

    When a logo created in illustrator cs4 has either shadows applied or gaussian blurs applied on letter shapes and is then put into a frame/picture box in indesign with a coloured background, it brings in white boxes. It does not happen in illustrator when a coloured box is placed on a layer down. If anyone has come across the same problem or knows why it's happening, please let me know. pic attached
    Many Thanks

    look at post 6 which says
    Your transparency blend space needs to match you output color space.
    To simplify it for now, if you are outputting to a RGB device, change your color mode to RGB before printing. Undo back to cmyk to continue working on the document.
    Does this solve your issue?

  • Why do my pdf files disappear when placing into Indesign CC?

    I was working a late night rush project. When I came to the point of placing pdf files in my indesign CC document nothing worked. The first files showed up missing their header. They next file simply did not appear on the page. They previewed ok. The eventual work around was to place them in Indesign 5.5, an older program. Then they came in fine. I need to have an answer to why this happened. I was not placing the files from the cloud on somewhere on the internet but from my hard drive. I am getting very frustrated with this new CC application.

    Try showing the import options and make sure the crop option you want to use is one that is not grayed out.

  • Pie chart created in edge animate changes to a square animation when imported into dps

    I Have created an animated pie chart in edge animate and all works fine.
    I then import into indesign and again all looks fine (even though at this stage it is a flat image) but when i export for dps and preview folio etc the animation turns from a circle to a square.
    Anyone have any pointers or experinced the same problem etc?
    Cheers

    The top image is a screen shot from edge and what it should be like, and the bottom image is of when you preview it in dps
    Also when i view this in browser via edge animate and then preview it seems fine and as you can see on the bottom image when i import the oam into indesign again it is fine but then when I come to preview my 'folio it turns the animation from a circle into a square.
    Also if its any help, the animation works perfectly if exported by epubs and viewed through ibooks.
    Thanks,

  • Imported ID pdfs appearance alters when imported into Quark as picture

    Can anyone tell me why Indesign created pdf's change when imported into a quark picture box? I receive ads from various companies for a magazine in hi-rez pdf formats and when imported the appearance changes to include all the components/elements/boxes/etc. of the make-up of the ad....the things that are not supposed to be seen. Please help... advertisers are complaining and i can not stop it, or fix it.

    Quark converts PDFs to EPS internally and thus has no support for the
    more advanced features of PDFs exported from InDesign.
    You should request EPS or PDF X/1-a if you want to continue to use
    Quark. That said, this is an InDesign forum so I will heartily recommend
    you switch to InDesign.
    As you've discovered more and more folks are doing just that and you're
    going to be left in the dust and those advertisers are going to be
    looking elsewhere to spend their money.

  • What happens to CC or Watermarks when imported into PrPro

    HI all,
    my question (s) are about information that is stored in the out of tv safety feilds when imported into Adobe premeir pro. files will be mpeg-2 video files SD and Hd
    1) what happens to closed Captioning data (does it get moved or is it stripped)?
    2) what happens to Nielsen watermarks on line 22 and 20?
    Can anybody give me an understanding of this.
    thank you much!!

    Nothing happens to the music on your computer. Nothing will "combine" unless this other person actually downloads something to your computer. Simply logging into an iTunes account does not instigate any automatic downloads of anything.

  • Spot Channels in CS6 wont import into Indesign and Incompatable with CS5

    File imports into Indesign but without spot channels.
    File will not open in Photoshop CS5
    By changing the spot color to Pantone Solid and resaving, I was able to open in Photoshop CS5, however the channel still did not import into Indesign CS5.
    I resaved the file from CS5 and the file imported correctly into Indesign.
    Windows 7 Home Premium 32
    AMD Phenom 9850 Quad-Core 2.5GHz
    4Gb RAM

    You didn't use Pantone Solid, you most likely used Pantone+ Solid (which is a new book).
    If you want to open that in Photoshop CS5, you'll need to copy the new book to CS5.
    InDesign - they had several bugs relating to spot color channels, which they should be fixing.
    But they too may need the new color book data.

  • How do I get audio back on single clip that loses audio when imported into Premiere Pro CC?

    I've got one clip out of many that for some reason won't play any audio when imported into Premiere Pro.  I am new to Premiere Pro so am hoping it's something stupid I've done, but this is a problem with just a single clip exported the same way as all my others, the original audio is loud (not quiet) and none of the FAQ issues seem to apply (ie I haven't muted the audio or anything stupid like that)
    The clip was exported from Plural Eyes into a "master" Premiere Pro project where the audio is fine. I exported it as a short MP4 clip and if I play the clip in Windows Media Player the audio is there loud and clear.
    But when I import the clip into a fresh Preimiere Pro CC project this clip appears with just the "film strip" icon on the far left in the Timeline panel, unlike other clips which have an icon that shows "film strip" in the background and "audio wave" in the foreground.
    I'm hitting so many glitches with the CC editions of Premiere Pro and After Effects which have annoying inconsistencies between them I'm tempted to just go back to Sony Vegas Pro (single program, no hassle) but hoping most of these issues are down to "newbie incompetence". Very hard to understand why this one clip out of many should be giving me this specific problem though. Any ideas?

    I'm getting so many weird results. Most go away by simply closing the project and re-opening and I only have 6GB memory but even so, I'm disappointed by what I thought was supposed to be more "world class" video editing software than Sony Vegas Pro which I found to be a lot more stable. Also struggling with differences between Premiere and After Effects. Every time I want to do something in Pro I seem to need to go to After Effects and vice-versa. After Effects lets me do more of what I could "just do" in Vegas Pro timeline, but it's hideous for lining up audio and having to render anything in RAM to even get a clue as to what a change has done.  Need to add Audition to the long list as well I suspect. Fun times!

  • Help! Photoshop edited jpg color distorts when imported into Muse

    Okay, so I am trying to build a photography webpage (among others) and I edit most of my photos in photoshop. All photos that I edit in photoshop and save to jpg, look great when printed, uploaded to facebook, etc. however when I import them into Adobe Muse for and put them on my webpage, the colors of the photos become desaturated and/or slightly distorted (so that they look dull). When I edit images in lightroom and save them as jpg and import them into Muse, they look fine, but colors edited in photoshop seem to mess up my photos when imported into Muse.
    What am I doing wrong?!
    Susan

    You are using some odd color management settings and not converting to sRGB most likely... Check your settings in PS itself and the Save for Web dialog and experiment around.

  • Swf's/flash,banners When Importing Into Dreamweaver Put Out Slices..

    Hi guys/gals
    I think im doing it wrong or missing something, even have a funny feeling i might have to use some css? Not really sure.
    My problem is after i have saved my move,banner - when imported into dreamweaver it puts all the slices out of whack ?
    I cant find anywhere to import it into my photoshop layout, can't "Bring to front" in dream weaver <- ? :/
    I have searched everywhere and I can't find with my terms what im looking for..I figure if nothing is coming up then im going about this
    the wrong way 
    Any help would be muchly appreciated.

    Hi
    Slicing images from a photoshop comp and then creating a web page from them is never a good idea, and will present many compatibility problems for you. A better alternative is to use css based layouts, this does not mean that you must forget what you have done in photoshop just that the procedure is probably slightly more complex for someone who has not used css layouts before,
    A good place to start would be the css basics tutorial then the, using css starter pages tutorial from the tutorials shown on this page - http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/css.html.
    (the 2 tutorials mentioned are - http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/table_to_css_pt1.html, and http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/table_to_css_pt2.html.

  • What kind of Video can I import into InDesign?

    I've read that Acrobat 9 and newer can display flash video files within a PDF. I tried importing an .flv file into InDesign but it did not work. Is this possible to do? Also, are there any other types of video files that can be imported into InDesign?
    The idea is to do a quick reference guide for a software application which will have an embedded flash video file showing motion capture of the application in action.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Acrobat 9 can display Flash (SWF) files well if you add the files within Acrobat. However, if you add the SWF files in InDesign and then export to PDF, the SWF files may not play, especially on a Mac. You're better off leaving a placeholder in InDesign and then adding the SWF in Acrobat to the exported PDF. For more details, see Sandee Cohen's entry:

  • How do I correct the darkest blacks from becoming bright blue when imported into LR?

    When shooting in RAW with a Sony RX100M3 the darkest blacks become bright blue when imported into LR. Any ideas when this happens and how I can fix it?

    If this is occurring in the develop module the you have the shadow warning turned on and this shows as blue, just like the highlights show as red. You can turn this off by clicking the triangle in the upper left hand corner of the histogram.

  • Gradient opacity mask logo-import into InDesign?

    Hi all,
    I have a quick question—I am using CS4 (illustrator & InDesign) on a Mac OSX platform.
    QUESTION: I have a one-colour logotype (just text) that fades into transparency (a gradient opacity mask applied to the type in Illustrator). I would like to verify how I should properly prepare and import this logo into InDesign—to be sure I do not lose the actual transparency effect on various pages when applied in my InDesign book.
    Thanks kindly,
    Chemol 

    The idea that eps is not transparent never actually coinsided with my experience, I admit I do not have lot of experience using eps  but whenever I have for the most part I used the eps art with transparent background like this file the signature and the cyan arectangle and the image of the ESB are composed in Illustrator and save as one eps file placed in ID.
    As you can clearly see it has a transparent back ground.
    I have save eps logos and palce it in QuarkXpress as well with the same result?
    If you save the eps with a white background then it willhave a white background.
    Here see for yourself.
    I meant as an opaque preview then you would have a white background.

  • Indesign CS4 Crashes When Importing Another Indesign CS4 File

    Help! Every time I try to import an Indesign file into another Indesign file, my Indesign crashes. Also happens when I try to open an existing Indesign file that has files already imported into it. This is a problem because I have existing files I need to work on that I cannot open now!
    I'm running CS4 on a new iMac running Lion 10.7.3. Everything is updated and current. My problem started when I transferred all my files via firewire from my previous iMac running 10.6. However, another iMac in the office running exactly the same thing is NOT having this same problem. So it's definitely something with my Mac, but I can't figure out what.
    I have tried restoring the Indesign preferences by holding down all the Control, Shift, Option & Command keys. I have also re-installed Indesign CS4 from the original CD.
    Ideas? Thanks!

    In case anyone comes across this problem, I think I've found a solution. Seems that Extensis Suitcase Fusion 2 was causing the problem. Extensis says Fusion 2 is not compatible with Lion. However, when I upgraded to Suitcase Fusion 3, I was still have the problem, though not as often. After contacting Extensis again, they told me:
    This is a known issue with Suitcase Fusion 3. I can tell you a workaround and I have passed your information onto the developers so you're notified about a fix.
    Here's the workaround:  You need to uncheck activate fonts in embedded objects in your Suitcase Fusion 3 InDesign preferences.  Here's how you do that:
    1)      Open InDesign by itself (no documents)
    2)      Go to the “Type” menu
    3)      Go down to “Suitcase Fusion 3” (it should show up at the bottom of the Type menu)
    4)      Choose “Suitcase Fusion 3 Auto-Activation Preferences…”
    5)      Uncheck Activate fonts in embedded objects
    6)      Load your document.
    Hope that helps someone!
