Share for review, overlay colours display differently from inDesign to browser

I've been wanting to use this new feature within our design team, however I realized overlays don't display the same way in indesign as in the browser. I'm guessing it's the colour profiles we are using but I'm not sure what I should update them to. Blending mode is hard light. Colour working space is added in a screenshot.

Hi,

don't think you can expect that there is confirmity of colors as long as Share For Review is working with web browsers.

Most or at least a lot of the browsers are not able to do color management. This is one reason. The other is that Share For Review is not transferring color profiles. At least I do not think so. And: It does not show overprinting elements.

 

What you also cannot communicate on is quality of images.

Share For Review will always downsample the resolution of highres placed images.

 

If you want to talk about color, effects, image quality, exchange exported PDF/X-4 files with you client.

PDF/X-4 files that are not downsampled and should be inspected with Acrobat Pro or at least Adobe Reader on the client's side.
