1. Re: drop shadow effect & psd files result in lighter colour PDF page (in RGB)
P Spier Jun 9, 2013 6:46 AM (in response to NunoRSantos)InDesign has no single working space, but rather both RGB and CMYK spaces assigned to the file. You need to change your transparency blend space (Edit > Transparency Blend Space) to Document RGB.

2. Re: drop shadow effect & psd files result in lighter colour PDF page (in RGB)
NunoRSantos Jun 9, 2013 7:56 AM (in response to P Spier)Its was already set as Document RGB. Any other ideas?
Not sure what is happening with this particular indesign document.
I just created a new one and used those very same images and psd files and drop shadow effect and... the colours DID NOT CHANGE ??!! Now I'm confused.
Not on the transparency blend space of: RGB or CMYK
The colours on the two PDF pages look the same.

P Spier Jun 9, 2013 8:16 AM (in response to NunoRSantos)You might also want to set your Appearance of Black in the prefs to Display all Blacks Accurately, and turn on Overprint Preview to get the best indication of what your page will look like.

rob day Jun 9, 2013 8:17 AM (in response to NunoRSantos)My Indesign working space is set to RGB, my image files are set on phtoshop as RGB (tiff image).
Is the fill color RGB? The default [Black] swatch for print documents is CMYK. What are your export settings? Try PDF/X-4

NunoRSantos Jun 9, 2013 8:28 AM (in response to rob day)I just discovered what happened... On the settings of the drop shadow effect, I was using, Mode: Normal
As soon as I changed to Mode: Multiply and created a new PDF the colours on the background image didn't change.
Is this normal?

It looks like doesn't make any difference on the drop shadow effect if using Black as CMYK or any RGB colour. The colours on the PDF (at least on screen) didn't change between pages like it was happening before (when using the drop shadow in mode: normal).
