Hello – I have 3 RGB images, all created in Photoshop, all with the same solid green color background. When I import 2 of them into InDesign they retain the same solid green color as they have in Photoshop. When I import the 3rd, the color changes, becoming a dull green, and it’s not supposed to. It looks fine in Photoshop. But not in InDesign. All 3 images should have the same color in the background. I’ve never seen anything like this before. What is going on? Email me — I can send you a PDF so you can see.

Hard to know, but one possibility is that the 3rd image has transparency in it:

Thanks, David, no transparency anywhere that I can see. All 3 look exactly the same in Photoshop. But one must be different somehow. I solved it, I think, by saving the offending image as a Photoshop PDF, and converting it to sRGB — then placing it in the InDesign document. I suspected it might have something to do with a color profile, but could not find any different profile applied in the original Photoshop files. My PDF “fix” worked! All 3 now look the same, as they should!
