John Danek Feb 13, 2011 4:42 PM (in response to Canned Pug)My only concern is that you are making changes based on what you see on 1.) your monitor, and 2.) from withing an application like InDesign, which in itself, has 3 different view options ( why? I'll nver know ). Understand, your files are no more than preview images and may or may not scew upon entry into InDesign. Forget InDesign. Rely more on Photoshop. If you indeed have everything "sync'd", then your final output should holdup. Go back to your original file in Photoshop. Forget all this soft-proofing baloney. Get a contract quality proof of the image file. If the "print" looks the way you expect it to, then use it in InDesign. When you are done with your InDesign file, proof it ( get a print proof ). Compare the original PS file "proof" with your ID proof. They should match. If they do not, something is out of sync. If they do, your workflow is in sync.

Canned Pug Feb 13, 2011 4:51 PM (in response to John Danek)Thanks John you sound like a no-nonesense guy. I think on the 3 views
is if you're concerned with how fast things load. I'm not so concerned
with this as the actual color itself...I'm trying to at least dot all
the I's and cross as many t's as I can before going to print. the more
I research the more I wish I were still dumb fat and happy. It would
amount to the same outpoint!
thanks!

John Danek Feb 13, 2011 5:27 PM (in response to Canned Pug)Sorry, I didn't want to come across as a hard-you-know-what. Are all of your color settings the same in both Photoshop and InDesign? If so, what are they? What are you using ( hardware, software versions, etc. ) as your work flow? Do you have on-site proofing capabilities?

5. Re: Color Changes App to App...
Canned Pug Mar 8, 2011 11:00 AM (in response to John Danek)Just to finally get back to this. What I found out was that in the ID swatches panel I happen to widen out the panel, when after the swatch numbers was the word "cop"y. As my cursor hovered over the swatch numbers, another set of numbers popped up in the tool tips...it was actually another number. Don't know why this happened..a fluke, or most likely general mismanagement on my part!
thanks for your help.
