Hello
ever since updating to CS6 my Indesign behaves strangely when handling pictures:
Once I duplicate a picture, it seems to loose some of it's saturation, thereby noticably looking "lighter".
This happens with copy/cut paste and alt+drag as well.
Re-embedding the pictures helps, but with 500+ pictures in a document, this is rather painful.
Unfortunately, the phenomenon persists all the way into the final pdf I export for printing.
I tested with both CMYK and RGB Jpgs, Psd & Tifs, with Effects (Multiply) on them and without, the same behavior everywhere.
Here's a screenshot of a duplicated image on top of the original:
I really don't know what it could be, any ideas?
My System is a 15" MacBook Pro with the latest version of Lion running (no Mouintain Lion), and the CS6 is up to date.
Thanks a lot for any input!
Best

Peter: Interesting, it indeed is restricted to this file, same picture in a new file no problems whatsoever. This is a "legacy" file originally created in CS 5.5, now saved as CS 6. However in CS 5.5 this behaviour didn't appear.
Olfarr: 2nd duplicate stays the same as first one, not lighter than that. Reboot didn't help, synchronizing din't help either.
Try exporting to .idml. See Remove minor corruption by exporting
If you haven't done a lot of editing, it will be more effective, most likely, to export from CS5.5 if you can.
