cc 2017 - linked images looking warped

[Joe Seven]

I upgraded to CC 2017 yesterday. Some of my linked images in documents preview in a warped / stretched sort of way. PDF export is fine. Anyone else experiencing this?

What file type are the images?

Did you try an IDML cleaning?

[Joe Seven]

JPEG image. I did not try exporting to IDML. The issue seems to have gone away for now. I will try the IDML thing if it happens again.

This is a side note, but in our studio we have two 27" iMacs that downloaded all the 2017 cc updates a few weeks ago. Both computers have been very crashy ever since. Averaging 3 crashes (totally unresponsive computer) a week.

Our studio has recently upgraded to CC2017 and are also encountering this issue, Joe. We're running InDesign CC version 12.0.0.81, Max OS 10.11.6.

It may be a GPU bug. Try View > Preview on CPU.

This has been happening to me for days; View > Preview on CPU ​finally fixed the problem.

Same version of InDesign here. I'm on OSX 10.12

Yes, I am having this exact same issue. Its happening more and more, images are warped or stretched like your example, yet are actually fine when PDFd or when you close doc and open it again. Yet it keeps happening in lots of different docs.

[Spino27]

Has there been any answer or update at this at all? Any experts out there? Will it be addressed in the next update? Its still happening for me, pictures appearing 'warped' or stretched sometimes, even in smaller documents with only a couple of pictures.

Note it doesn't actually effect anything as far as I can tell. That is, sometimes the image is like that and sometimes its not, but when you PDF or print the doc it doesn't show up like that, so doesn't actually cause any problems. Leads me to believe its just a visual, screen issue? (iMac late 2015 Sierra, CC)
