Hey, there is a annoying bug unter InDesign 2022 and 2023 under Mac OS Ventura.

InDesign is rendering with GPU the colors unsaturated and wrong.

Only switching to the software renderer (shift+E) will render the colors correctly.

Is there any way to fix this?

I attached some examples.

I agree with Sascha. I updated to Ventura 13.1 yesterday on my MacBook Pro 2021 and it seems to return the colors to normal.

Same here with InDesign and Illustrator, after updating to Mac OS Ventura on a McBook Pro M1 16'' the colors are looking very dull. Under Monterey it was fine. Hoping a fix will com quickly.

Yes, @markus_m. This is a known issue on multiple Creative Cloud apps on Ventura's machine. The teams are prioritizing this issue and working with the Apple team.

You'll definitely see the improvements soon.

We appreciate your patience.

Thanks,

Hello,

I got a new MBP and I'm having trouble getting my colors to show as RGB colors in the working space. The colors are washed out (in CYMK colors). I have already changed my Transparency Blend Space > Document RGB and it has not worked. I created my document as a Web doc and the Color Settings are correct as RGB: sRGB IEC61966-2.1 and CMYK: U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2. When exporting, the colors show up correctly, but I need to have the colors showing RGB in the working space as I work in the print and digital(web) space. I even restarted Indesign AND my MBP to see if things will update, but it didn't.

Can anyone help me on this? I'm on my wits end to get colors showing as RGB. I got RGB colors in the working space on my old MBP but duplicating the settings has not worked.

Hi, same problem here... Is ther any other solution than switching back to macOS Monterey ?

Are you working on resolving this problem ?

Thank you very much

Yes, Intel-Mode: Open Adobe Creative Cloud Manager, right-click InDesign and open it in Intel mode.

Thanks, ok. But they says that it will use Rosetta and slow photoshop, i don't want that 🙂

Hello. I have the same issue on Illustrator 2023 and Indesign 2023 which I resolved by switching back to macOS Monterey. I'm on a Macbook M1 Max. Problem well related to MacOS Ventura update.

Hi,

I have the same problem.
Do you have a simple/quick solution without having to format the mac to reinstall Monterey?

Sascha FronczekAuthor

Inspiring

Open your Adobe Creative Cloud Manager and right click on InDesign and open it in Intel mode.

BTW: Illustrator under Mac OS Ventura has the same issue. GPU wrong colors, CPU right colors.

Same here with Mac Studio M1 Ultra and InDesign 2022 / InDesign 2023.

Using software renderer or Rosetta will render correct colors, but this is extreme slow.

Sascha FronczekAuthor

Fun fact: When I open InDesign in Intel-Mode, the problem is gone.

But InDesign runs now on Rosetta 😕😕

I found this thread here with some explanations

Thanks for the link.
But I have been working in GPU mode for years and there have never been different colors between software and GPU.
All colors are desaturated in InDesign as soon as GPU mode is used. You can't really work that way anymore. The software mode is very slow 😞

I'm not really sure what I can do for you at this point.

Perhaps @rob day can help you out - he's very good with this sort of behaviour.

I don't even know what Graphics Card you have - your OS - your RAM - or anything about your setup that can help you out.

We need a lot more information from yourself in order to help you.

Can you please provide your system settings?
