What happens? Al of a sudden I get yellow lines in all my image exports (PNG / JPG)... When giving it more pixels/inch the lines change position and are less wide.

Hi together,

good news, the phased roll-out of InDesign 16.2.1 has begun.

It will take some days before all users will see this update in the CC Desktop App.

Core feature and workflow

When exporting images as JPG or PNG, yellow horizontal lines are generated in some cases.

Stability and performance

InDesign crashes in some cases when you quit after creating a new document.

Is someone from adobe working on this or is this forum just to keep our-selves busy?

prerelease not working for me.

So now I installed a older version of Indesign and that solved the problem!

Hi Interactivez,

don't know if you are part of Adobe InDesign Prerelease…

There is a new version of 16.2 available at Prerelease that should address this issue.

If you want to sign in, go to https://www.adobeprerelease.com/ and check in category AVAILABLE PROGRAMS.

( And If you are already part of it you know your way around. )

Ik don't want my 20 users to use a beta version of a product to walk themselves into new problems. We are using al kinds of third party plugins... This is not the way to treath customers who pay to use CC...

Hi LOS stadomland,

my suggestion did not aim at using a prerelease version of InDesign for production purposes.

Just for testing and let the developers know if the bug was successfully fixed.

Hi Rob,

thanks for all this input.

Currently I have no time for further testing, I see into this tomorrow.

For all reading this:

The mentioned bug with resetting color management is a bug on Mac OS systems.

It does not occur on Windows machines.

It's the 3rd May and I still have the same problem...

It's ridiculous that they haven't fixed this issue yet. Did you find any temporary solutions?

Thanks

Hi Monica,

the temp solution is running Rob's script.

Or doing exactly the workflow of the script:

Export to PDF, open the PDF in PhotoShop and save it to JPEG or PNG from there.

Here’s a thread from 2014 showing other problems with JPEG exports when there are placed images. The quality can be noticeably better when the export is PDF-to-Photoshop-to-JPEG. Looks like similar problems still exist with InDesign 15.1:

for now the easiest fix is to uninstall InDesign 16.2 & reinstall 16.1 - until they fix it
