EXPORT IN RGB

[matibuc4eva]

Hello everyone,

i'm new in Indesign forum.

I have a question. I'm in trouble exporting a RGB FILE from Indesign. The color does not correspond to the original color of the pictures.

Somene has a clue how could i may fix it?

Thanks in advance.

Tell us more about what you're trying to accomplish. Start by telling us what version of InDesign and what operating system you're using. What file format are you trying to export? PDF (Print)? PDF (Interactive)? EPUB (Reflowable)? EPUB (Fixed)? Flash? HTML? Other? How you using the file you're exporting?

Are you aware that the Gamuth of any CMYK colorprofile is smaller than the Gamuth of RGB?

In converting from RGB to CMYK you will experience a loss of bright green and red colours. That is normal.

I'm not trying to convert from RGB  to CYMK. I'm trying to do the opposite. And the fimages that i have inserted in my ID file are already in RGB

You didn't answer one question that you were asked and until you do I'm afraid you're not going to get much help. Please go back through the responses and answer each poster's questions.

Could you also post a screen shots of the original image as well as what the exported (I assume to pdf) version looks like? Please be specific as to what type of file you are starting with and what you are trying to end up with.

One other thing. If you are exporting your image from InDesign to a print pdf make sure that "No Color Conversion" is chosen from the Output Section of the Export Adobe PDF dialog.

Hi Bill,

i exported in PDF for print because is the only option i know to export that allow me to change the color mode.

I just want to export a PDF file with colors identical to the colors of the file i have inserted in my ID document.

As you can see collors looks different.

[Bill Silbert]

You didn't say if you had your pdf output settings set to "No Color Conversion" as I suggested in my first post.

[matibuc4eva]

oh Sorry Bill, i'm a newbie on Indesign and i had an info overdose.

Anyhow, sure i have my output stting on "CONVERT TO DESTINATION" and i find that i have fixed the color problem if i choose "RGB DOCUMENT" is that the best way to export in RGB? If i want to ad some interactive contents, like video clips, how could i do the same thing vith interactive PDF?

Thanks a lot to everyone for the help.

Have you tried PDF/X-4? If not, do so.

[matibuc4eva]

Thanks Bob, but where i could find this setting ?

[BobLevine]

It’s a PDF export preset.

[matibuc4eva]
