When I place a colored image, it goes black & white. Why?

Pleas advise what settings to change, so the image stays in color when placed.

The file that you're placing the color image into is most like set to grayscale. Chage it to some other color space.

When I place an EPS image it shows White background

Hi
Please help me urgent!!!!
im using CS5
when i place an EPS image in Indesign, a white background shows.
First in PS, i clip mask the image and then flatten the image....I was told to do this.
the i save it as below:
Save As: Photoshop EPS
EPS OPTION
Preview: Macintosh (8 bits/Pixels)
Encoding: JPEG (High Quality)
- Include Halftone Screen (Not selected)
- Include Transfer Function (Not selected)
- Postcript Colour Management (Not selected)
- Include Vector Data (Cannot select)
- Image Interpolation (Not selected)
Then when I place the image in InDesign, i do the foll:
I select Import Options:
- Read Embedded OPI Links (not selected)
- Apply Photoshop Clipping Path (Selected)
Proxy Generation
- Use TIFF or PICT Preview (Selected)
- Rasterise the Postcript (not selected)
I still get the white background.
even when I change the Proxy Genertion to Rasterise the Postcript
Before I should save the image as a PSD (without Clipping Mask and dont flatten the image). the print would come out different colours...not the same. And apparentlt the printer should have a hard time printing the work. So i was told to clipp mask it, flattern the image and save as EPS.
Please help. Im deseperate and do not know what to do

Are you saying the printer can't get a .PSD to output, or a PSD's color is unpredictable? Sounds like your printer can print .PSDs, but you have a color management problem. By different colors do you mean that the printed CMYK color values are different than what was in the placed PSD? If that's the case it may be that the PSD had a profile that conflicted with the InDesign document profile and you are getting unexpected color conversions somewhere in the workflow.

Why does my whole design fade when I place a new image?

This drives me crazy! Sometimes when I place a new image, my whole design fades. Maybe it's because the new image has a transparent layer? How do I deal with this? I'm using CS6.
BEFORE:
AFTER:

Dealing with images is indeed more complex, but 'simple' transparency won't benefit in my opminion in setting blendspace to RGB. Or am I missing your point maybe...?
There are potential production problems with either blend space. With an RGB blend space black and gray objects will convert to 4-color mixes which can be a problem on press.
With CMYK you can get into total ink problems. So an example would be a page headed for newprint where the total ink allowed might be as low as 220%, but if I were to multiply 0|100|100|30 red over 100|100|0|0 blue the total ink of the blended color is 330%—110% over the limit.
With an RGB blend space the transparent page honors the CMYK destination's ink limit and I get 217% for the blend:

Let's first try the following document, only be sure that none of the boxes in the compatibility mode tab are checked (not just the compatibility mode box itself):

My MacBookPro (mid 2012) will not complete the boot process. Yosemite's progress widget gets about 1/3 to 1/2 way across when the logo disappears and the screen goes all white for 10-15 secs or so, then the machine shuts down and restarts.

My MacBookPro (mid 2012) will not complete the boot process. Yosemite's progress widget gets about 1/3 to 1/2 way across when the logo disappears and the screen goes all white for 10-15 secs, then the machine shuts down and restarts. This sequence will repeat seemingly forever unless I shut it down manually.
I upgraded to Yosemite from Mountain Lion a couple months ago, skipping Maverick completely, and I've done any associated updates that Apple told me about. I don't recall which version of Yosemite I have, but I'm sure it is the "latest and greatest".
I've tried re-starting in Safe Mode / Safe Boot and that does the same thing as described above except without the endless restarts. Instead of restarting at some point, SafeBoot proceeds to the white screen and then it hangs until I restart it manually. (I've waited as long os 20-30 minutes with no response).
When I tried the option-command-p-r key combo I never get any chimes or other noises besides the original 1 time boot sound that you would expect to get when starting up a macbook pro.
I was using the mac quite normally (meaning I was doing work I normally do on it and there was no indication of anything wrong) immediately prior to this happening.
The machine is BootCamp(ed) with Windows 8.1 which I use from a VMWare virtual machine instead of natively so that I can have both OSes running at the same time. I also think this is unrelated to my problem. I have been using this setup for more than 2 years.
My upgrade to Yosemite was uneventful and I thought it went well and was very smooth. I don't want to lead attention away from Yosemite, but at this point my problem does not seem related to the upgrade.
Any help is appreciated.

Install or Reinstall OS X from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
      left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
      the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
      the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
           because it is three times faster than wireless.

I bought my Mac Air 13' in August. Black screen problems constantly happens. I asked some of my friends who also use Air. They share the same experience. Overall, it is a pretty good computer. But it bothers me when I do work and it suddenly goes black.

without more information, I assume you mean a blackout from sleep issue.
Go to system preferences > energy settings > raise the "turn display off" setting up to as needed, say 5 mins. or 10 mins.
AND ...
unchecked the "Put hard disks to sleep when possible" in both the battery and power adapter tabs.
test it and check back

The preview page shows a pink/purple background when i place a.swf file rather than a transparency why?

The preview page shows a pink/purple background when i place a.swf file rather than a transparency why?Would you be kind enough to help?

Hello,
Usually pink\purple background appears when "Show Grid Overlay" is enabled.
please go to View > Hide Grid Overlay and see if it works.
I am not sure if it will fix the problem as you said that pink\purple background appears when you place a swf file only.
If this do not fix the problem I would request you to share the screenshot of the design mode for better idea of the problem.

Is this an app bbbc? IF it is I would contact the app developer and see if they can resolve the issue for you.
also take a look at the reviews and see if other users are having the same issue and see if they have a resolution.

How convert a color PDF File to black & white (gray scale...no color)

How convert a color PDF File to black & white (gray scale...no color)??? creative cloud cs6... Acrobat etc

Hi, just wanted to add my 2¢
I've been in publishing over 25 years and live in Acrobat for making my final files. Currently with a newspaper.
This is what we do:
• Tool Panes > Print Production Window
• Select CONVERT COLORS
• Midway down under OUTPUT INTENT, check Convert Colors to Output Intent
• In the associated drop down menu, I choose (because I'm printing on newsprint) DOT GAIN 20% – If you're working on better stock, choose a lower dot gain percentage.
• Click OK – this will convert the file
• Save
Note: this affects the file you're working with. Make sure that you use this method on a COPY if you want to retain the original color version.
I think if you compare my method to the Preflight method, you'll see a tighter contrast and better blacks. I've always felt the Preflight method left continuous tones a little muddy.
Now if there was only a way to add that to ACTIONS...!

Color LiveType Titling Turned Black & White

Pretty new to FCE, but I have an OK grasp of it.
I created a sequence which included several .ipr LiveType files. I decided I wanted to change the font. I entered FCE, right clicked on the media element for the title. LiveType opened up.
The titling used a default transition, and a moving default color texture as a text mask, not a background.
I changed the font, re-rendered and saved. When I went back into FCE, the text was white (background was default black). Previewing in LiveType, the titles are in color.
Is this a bug or have I done something wrong?

If you are just doing it to half of an image, a Graduated filter (perhaps several of them stacked) with a rapid transition break and 100% desat would work.
Otherwise you could stack multiple occurances of the adjustment brush until you drive all color out.
web-weaver is correct in pointing out this is a job better suited to PS.

Monitor goes Black & White

Any info. would help. Thanks.

Converting part of an image to Grayscale (black & white)

Q. I want to make part of an image grayscale but keep some color elements.
Answer: There is always more than one way to do something in Photoshop.
#1 Select the area you want to be grayscale. Create a new Hue/Saturation Adjustment Layer (half-moon icon in the Layers palette). Dial down the Saturation.
#2 Make a copy of your image and make it Grayscale.
After creating a layer in the color image with just the part of your image you want to still be color paste the Grayscale image under this layer.
Your image will still be a color image with elements that look grayscale.
#3 In CS3 (version 10 ) use Image > Adjustments > Black & White

It's all virtual right now. Various issues keep the points from being displayed, but it does contribute to the "level" setup which at some point will function (I'm guessing) much like the "old system" where you get certain bonuses (personal avatars, etc) depending on the "level" you are in the system.
I'm already a level 4, so points only contribute to my "reputation", I guess. But TPTB have suggested that we inform users of the Forum on the proper way to use it to build a better community.
Thanks for the "Solved"

When in Final Cut My MacBook Screen goes black

I was working on Final Cut on my Macbook Pro and everything was running smoothly until I used the "help" tab to find out how to freeze frame. I moused over to the drop down window to hit the command and I either clicked on it or something around it, then my screen went black. I have a dual screen and nothing happened to my external monitor. Now the weird thing is when I use any other program my Macbook screen comes back to normal. It even comes back to normal when a Final Cut prompt windows come up on the screen but as soon as I answer the prompt the screen goes back to black. Has this happened to anyone else? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hit command+F12 and see what happens.
It sounds like you've enabled Desktop Cinema Preview.
