    Eyedropper Values Based on Low-Res Proxy (RGB)

    bpylant Community Member

      So, I get this message (and incorrect data) if I use the eyedropper to sample a CMYK color value from a placed PDF.

       

      But the Separations Preview panel will show me the correct CMYK values.

       

      Seems weird that the eyedropper tool can't be made to work correctly (er, as expected) since InDesign clearly can determine the CMYK values contained in the PDF.

       

      Am I missing something?
