Export Indesign to JPG generates yellow horizontal lines in image

[Interactivez]

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.

[Anna Lander]

could you please share a page in INDD file (package) to try to repeat an issue?

Looks like some interferention, and on the central image they are rather blurred then yellow, so it's difficult to say more without looking at the working file.

[Interactivez]

Thanks for the quick response! See files with a test-page. As you can see, the issue also occurs with different linked images.

[Anna Lander]

for a moment I can't repeat an issue

Could you also add the screenshot with an Export settings (e.g. for JPG)?
and some system info: OS and InDesign versions

[Interactivez]

Is this sufficient?

[Anna Lander]

yes, thanks.Settings are good so I suspect this is the bug of InDesign-MacOS interaction. Declare it as bug here: https://indesign.uservoice.com/

[Interactivez]

Done

Hi Anna,

I suspect that you do not use InDesign version 16.2.0.30.

Cannot test all this because I was not part of the first phase of the release roll-out and never had access to 16.2.0.30. The OP's document clearly is a 16.2.0.30 version one.

I  am experiencing the problem if i create a 150dpi jpg from a document that's 10percent of the original size. The graphic size is 5486x1151mm  - so the document size is 548,6x115,1mm. The images are heavy. Before my update today I no yellowlines in my jpg, but today I have...

I have the same problem since the update this morning!

I'm having the same issue with exporting jpg images.

This is happening to me too! I've had every .jpeg come out this way - it's not an MAC OS issue, I'm working from Windows 10. Happens when the image file is embedded and linked.

[defaultom8btkzo92n5]

All computers in our office are doing the same thing when exporting since the update. Jpeg leaves multiple lines, PNG leaves a yellow line across ethe bottom of every image. Very inconvient...

Same issue. WTF

You could try this JPEG Export script, which exports via PDF:

I urgently need to export a batch of thumbnails from InDesign to 110px square jpegs. I would use your script Rob if I could figure how how ... I tried loading it in Photoshop ... what do I need to do?

[Laubender]

Hi sal_belle,

install and run the script from InDesign.

Thank you for your quick response! I followed the instructions (sorry had misunderstood and thought PhotoShop was the workaround), installed the InDesign script, ran the script, but got an error message:

The target folder was just a folder on the desktop.

[rob day]

Hi @sincere_socialite15C2 , the target error is referring to Photoshop—the script uses Photoshop to create the JPEG. Try this version of the script and see if will launch Photoshop:

[rob day]

What versions of InDesign and Photoshop are you using? Does the script work if you have both Photoshop and InDesign running before you run the script?

[sincere_socialite15C2]

Hi Rob

Photoshop 22.3.1

Indesign 16.2

Do I need both open? I tried with both open – still getting the same error message. Shall I do a full computer restart?

[rob day]

still getting the same error message

Are you getting the error with the alternate script I posted above—ExportJPEGV2?
