1. Re: Tagged PS file into InDesign Mystery
gator soup Aug 26, 2013 8:09 PM (in response to GeofferyH)profile is Adobe RGB. I convert to Japan Color Newspaper 2002 (remarkable and obvious appearance difference compared to the Adobe RGB version, more washed out and muted)
read up on Photoshop out-of-gamut colors, gamut warning
I place the same two images with different embedded profiles — Adobe RGB and Japan Newspaper — into an InDesign Document. Indesign ignoring the profiles by default.
Photoshop is using the embedded ICC profiles, if you have InDesign (ID) set up to strip embedded profiles, i would expect to see a display difference in ID depending on your working spaces
i suggest you get ID color settings set up to Preserve Embedded profiles...
From InDesign I output to PDF with these conversion settings;
Color Conversion—Convert to Destination (Preserve Color Numbers)
Destination—U.S. Web Coated (SWOP)v2
Profile Inclusion Policy—Include Destination Profile.
When viewing the PDF both images look virtually identical. The Adobe RGB and the Japan Color Newspaper iterations look good, decent saturation similar color and tone, actually "better" than the Newspaper converted, washed out and muted image when viewed in Photoshop.
How is this so?
you need to wrap your brain around how Adobe apps use ICC profiles (so you can theorize what you are seeing and try other options/workflows that do what you want)...
