When placing a png in indesign the png changes/loses its orginal color.

When placing a png in indesign the png changes/loses its original color. Ex. the very clear blue that I am using turns dark and "dirty". ( my RGB is : 5,125, 255 - when I type this I get a " out of gamut warning" a little yellow icon. When I click on it indesign automatically changes the RGB into: 67, 117, 187)
I have worked with indesign for 6 years and never experienced this before. I am guessing it has something to due with that the png is in RGB and indesign in cmyk, but I have no idea what to do about it?

Out of Gamut means the color cannot be printed in your current workspaces using CMYK inks. You would see a preview of the converted color if you move into Overprint Preview, use Proof Colors, or there is transparency and the blend space is set to CMYK.
If this is destined for screen use, then the color doesn't matter, but you should be sure the blend space is set to RGB.

When I type fi in InDesign, the f is deleted. If I hit backspace, the f comes back, but the i is deleted. I even tried to copy the text I need from Word. When I paste it, the f is deleted. I've restarted InDesign and tried a different keyboard.

Disappering cursor when placing multiple file in Indesign.

When placing multiple file (jpeg, tiff's, pdf files,etc.) in a indesign document, my cursor disappears. If you can get to the desktop and click on it, it will come back.
first started in Indesign CC 2014, Any fix for this?
Thanks, Dennis

Hi,
This is an expected behavior, when you place an image in InDesign then it display the preview of the image however you this has no impact on the output unless the image placed is of low-resolution itself.
In order to have good resolution of images, you may switch to View > Display Performance > High Quality.

Crop mark issue when placing and PDF in Indesign

I've just had this strange issue that I can't figure out and I'm not sure if anyone else has had it as well.
I exported a PDF through InDesign with crop marks. I then placed the PDF in Indesign and for some reason the bleed and the crop marks don't
show up! I've never had this issue with Indesign before.
Is it even InDesign, or is it the PDF itself?

Select show options when placing and select the appropriate crop to choice.

Cut out a photo in Photoshop, and when placing into Illustrator and InDesign it changes it.

We have photos that another employee cut out in photoshop, saved as a TIFF and tried to place into Illustrator. When he went to place it, the photo looks like it created a clipping mask but the image is flat.
this is what the tiff looks like in preview and photoshop.
and this is how it shows up when placed in Illustrator. It does the same thing in indesign.
I also tried saving it as a pdf and opening it in Acrobat, and it turns into the butterfly there as well. Does anyone have any clue as to what the problem would be?

Solution found:
The problem originated in photoshop. In the Paths panel, somehow a path of the butterfly was created(still haven't figured out how) and we deleted the path and the problem was fixed.

Failed to open PDF file when placing a PDF in Indesign CS5

I am also having an issue when I am able to place the PDF that the bleed isn't showing up and the crops aren't either

The failure dialog usually means the import options are set to crop to one of the options that isn't defined for that particular file, and changing the crop options to one that isn't grayed out should work. To show bleed and marks, first they must be present in the PDF, and second your choice of crop option must be large enough to include them. Media would be my choice for that.

Quality issue when placing web screenshots into InDesign

Please, please help!
I am using InDesign CS3. I frequently capture screenshots from web pages to place in an InDesign document as an image.
Without exception, the resulting image quality is lousy.
I have tried capturing screenshots with Screenhunter and with SnagIt. I have played around with the various options in each program (file format - jpg, eps, tif, bmp etc etc etc, resolution, etc) including InDesign. I have tried placing the image first in Photoshop and in Fireworks, saving it there and then placing it in InDesign.
Each time, when I view the image BEFORE placing it into InDesign it looks perfect. Then I either paste or place in the InDesign document and whatever I seem to do, the resulting image looks fuzzy and unclear, both onscreen and when I print (even when I select High Quality display).
If anyone can help, I can send you a document with screenshots pasted in so you can see the poor quality.
PS - Placed photographs or other very high resolution images are fine. It's the screenshots I have a problem with.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!
Fiona

I would expect the same quality from InDesign that you get from Word or another MS app.
>Web screenshots are good enough quality to place them in any Microsoft Office product, even when enlarged to view with a beamer on a wall, they can still look sharp...
Sharp is a relative term. :) Suppose you put a high quality photo in the same page as your web capture. Does the web capture still look as good in Office apps? Viewing distance also makes a difference. The farther away the viewer is, the better a low resolution image is going to appear. That's how billboards work.
You don't say in your original post what you are doing with the ID document.
By all means, send me a document to spammercatch at comcast dot net. With screen captures it probably doesn't really matter since you are capturing the screen, but in general it is bad practice to paste images rather than placing them -- you paste the low resolution screen preview instead of linking the high resolution image data.

When placing an image in InDesign how do I make sure it's not too pix-elated?

Do I change its pixel count in Photoshop? I'm creating a brochure in InDesign and It looks blurry when I place it as my background.

You should also consider the size of the image (pixels) relative to its print size.
e.g.
desired print resolution: 300dpi
desired image print dimension: 8.5" wide
necessary pixel width: 8.5" x 300dpi = 2550px
For a 'background' image, you may be satisfied with 150-200dpi, so the 8.5"-wide image could be as small as 1275-1700px wide.

T61P won't power up when placed in dock 25% of the time

I do a shutdown of my computer at home and go to the office. I have the advanced dock (fancy one by whatever name) at the office. Sometimes when I place the computer in the dock, the power indicators on the laptop do not come on and pressing the power on the dock doesn't do anything either. The eject button stays green showing it doesn't think anything is there.
I am running WinXp, I have external keyboard and monitor attached to the dock so when docked, the lid is closed.
Seating and re-seating the laptop have no effect and it does make the exact same clicking sounds of the dock adapter parts lining up just fine.
But if I remove the laptop, then remove the battery from the laptop and reinstall the battery, then back into the dock it works fine every time. Is this a sign of something wrong with the dock, laptop or battery??
-ken c

There is nothing in the connectors, and on a T61P, the dock connector seems to close itself so things can't get in anyway.
But the key is I can try docking 5 or 10 times (if it doesn't dock the first time) and it never sees the dock. But as soon as I remove and replace the battery, it always sees the dock and powers up normal.
So the dock isn't seeing the laptop as the power button on the dock does nothing and the ejector button stays green, while the battery/ac icons on the top of the laptop stay dark.
So I'm guessing something about how it powers down that isn't right 25%-35% of the time and that remove/replace the battery resets that.
It (like a few other things) are annoying about this generation of laptops. The quality of the T61 just doesn't compare to some of the older Axx series 'mobile workstations'.

How do I turn off launching CaptureOnTouch when placing an ID card in the ImageFormula P-215 scanner

My company currently uses the P-215 to scan documents and ID cards into our application using a TWAIN scanning interface. Some of our customers also use the CaptureOnTouch software for other purposes.
The issue is that every time a user loads an ID card into the scanner ID slot, the CaptureOnTouch software opens over the top of our scanning interface. This does not occur when loading paper documents into the full page portion of the scanner.
How can I get around this? It appears there is no way to bypass the ID card opening CaptureOnTouch.
Thanks

Hi MichaelJB42,
Based on the description of what is occurring, it is possible that the small black Auto-switch on the back of the scanner is set to "On".
Try looking at the back of your ImageFormula P-215. When looking straight at the back of the scanner you will see a small switch to the left of a port. Follow by moving the switch to "Off"; then proceed to perform the same steps as before using an ID Card to determine if the issue has been resolved or the CaptureOnTouch software opens over the top of your scanning interface again.
If these steps do not resolve or address the issue you are experiencing, please Contact Us and our technical support agents will gladly assist you in narrowing down the cause of the issue.

Printer is asking for PDF but when I save psd to PDF the dimensions change

I am trying to save psd files to pdf for a printer. He wants them 3.75 x 2.25 inches. I am creating the psd files in CMYK color as he needs. The dimensions are 3.75 X 2.25 inches but when I save the Photoshop PDF it is much smaller 270 X 262. I don't want to send it to him incorrectly. Any advice for me?
Thanks in advance.

You still didn’t say what the units for those numbers were.
Anyway: pdf is currently the standard for print, and even having to open psd would be time the printers want to save, I guess, or want to get paid for.
Moreover many (or most) print-shops have automatic preflighting-, reseparation- and montage-systems that are based on that format.
If You got a window like this:
you did not open the pdf, but imported it, meaning a complete re-interpretation took place – so even if the pdf may have been at 72ppi it would be up-scaled to the selected values.
