Comment on What would you do with this technique? by Yvonne Roberts

I use the same technique Ryan does, with the exception that I save the “flattened” raster file as a CMYK PSD. RIPs seem to have less difficulty processing PSDs than JPGs.

I do a lot of flattening with final Jpgs. I usually export a full res with transparency PDF for this and open it in photoshop to save the final jpg. This will be much simpler provided it flattens things the same way.

Comment on Applying an Object Style when Placing an Image by federico platon

It also works (including the fitting options) in CS6.
That name has a true magnetic (metallic) attraction, I mean, when it’s present, selecting any other object style in advance, reverts to the Place Gun Frame style when placing a graphic occurs.

Ocassionaly I export backgrounds for ads to make it easier to control ink limits when using layer effects and blending modes, but I always keep the original art on its own layers and place the raster image on a layer above. I keep the original art invade I need to resize the ad for another publication.

Comment on Guide to Interpreting InDesign Crash Reports by John Hawkinson

your guys computer guy: Looks like your substantive comment may have been removed, but sorry, that summary information turns out not to be useful at all in telling you anything about InDesign's behavior. You posted an error like this:

Thread 0 crashed with X86 Thread State (32-bit): eax: 0?00000000 ebx: 0?17eda3e4 ecx: 0?00000000 edx: 0?28203100 edi: 0?00000009 esi: 0?23ab9c68 ebp: 0xbfffe4b8 esp: 0xbfffe2b0 ss: 0?00000023 efl: 0?00010246 eip: 0xacb16630 cs: 0?0000001b ds: 0?00000023 es: 0?00000023 fs: 0?00000000 gs: 0?0000000f cr2: 0?00000009 Logical CPU: 4

I suspect you're not using WinXP, and in later versions of Windows getting useful crash reports is very difficult. Still, try posting to forums.adobe.com, or to the InDesign Secrets forums. Both are much better places to seek assistance than the comments on this post. Thanks, and good luck!

I have a similar problem that made me want to convert to outlines (or use this method).

Comment on Style Highlighting by Olaf Nelson

I’ve been wishing for this since about the second day I used InDesign styles. Was that in CS2? Can’t remember, but it was long, long ago.
Thanks!
