File keeps turning colors, pixelating when adding content or scrolling down

Sep 19, 2012 9:36 AM

Dear all,

I have a problem with my file - for some reason the background, which I have inserted from Photoshop keeps pixelating and turning to a bright green, whenever I add things to the file. When I started out working on it it did not, but the more I add the more it turns and I can not get it to turn back. It starts in Patches and then spreads throughout the document, I don´t know how to better describe it. I´m adding a screenshot, maybe you can help me. The green you see in the middle is the one it is supposed to be. In this shot it just started turning and will then spread. It is worse when a photo is involved, because then the photo uses will also turn colors.

 

Really hoping someone knows what went wrong.

 

Kind regards!

    That's a pretty complex file. When was the last time you did a Save AS to remove old and inaccessible change information?

     

    I've never seen any color anomalies, but it's not rare for me to see preview degradation, which I've traced to lsft/right scrolling using my mouse's tilt wheel. I'm able to restroe the view by holding the Alt + Spacebar keys to get the Hand tool and clicking anywhere on the page,so I'm curious if that works for you, too.

     

    Finally, I'd recommend exporting this to .idml to clean up any crud in the file. See Remove minor corruption by exporting

    Thank you so much! I did save as several times a day, so that didn't seem to be the problem.

    However, both ways - the spacebar and exporting it - worked perfectly! So whatever it was got cleaned up that way.

    Again, thank you so much! I was worried I wouldn't be able to use the file anymore.
