Thanks guys! I knew it was a setting somewhere. The document is part of a large manual that has evolved from 1 source manual over the years. Is there a quick fix, a global or setting change? This appears to have only started since upgrading to CC2017. This 50% transparency wasn't noted previously on the same manuals. Thank you for your help. Dave

Hi Bob,, Here is a We Transfer link to the offending InDesign file. I haven't included any links as it isn't necessary to. Once the file is Exported as an idml, just clicking on the image frame reveals that the transparency has reduced to 50%. https://we.tl/J4iC9B8hbI The small note icons, like the handbook or spanner usually got to 50% as does the header banner image. If anyone can shed any light on this, it would be most helpful. Thank you, Dave

Both my self and my client have this issue. I have also tried on different machines. It appears to be a file setting somewhere as a file using the same images is ok and doesn't reduce the transparency to 50%. InDesign CC 2017 was only installed a few months ago and on a 'new build' laptop.

Hi Bob, We need to export as an idml as this is the file type/format that our CAT (Computer Aided Translation) software accepts. Same with Framemaker, it only accepts MIFs. Even if I open the idml back in CC 2017, it is still 50% transparency.

I am using CC 2017 and have a problem with some files and some of the images contained within that file. When I export as idml some random images change to 50% transparency. Some of the files or images will stay as 100% transparency. Saving indd to a new indd keeps 100% transparency, but as soon as I export to idml, it reduces to 50%. I've cross checked files where the transparency remains at 100% and the files where it reduces to 50% after exporting to idml. I can't see any differences in preferences or setup. I have copied an image from an ok file into one that I know reduces to 50% and it does the same thing. It leads me to think that it is a particular issue with that file's settings, but it is random and not all images. Anyone seen this before? Any ideas would be much appreciated. Dave
