InDesign placing a cutout from Photoshop HELP!

Question

I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me with my Indesign dilemma.

Currently working on a magazine for print on InDesign and having a problem pop-up where I’ll go to place a high res image I cutout on Photoshop into InDesign and having bright colours on the page already. As soon as I place the image the colours go dull.

If anyone knows why this keeps happening please help, I still want to have the cutouts there as I’m making a fashion magazine so model cutouts are essential yknow.

Because it's using Transparency

Go to Edit>Transparency Blend Space and set it to RGB

It's just a preview thing in InDesign.

What is the final output - is it going to be PDF? Or is it being printed?
If you make a PDF how does it look?
If it's something else - output it for the intent you are using it for and test if it looks ok for you.

Otherwise, I tend to ignore 'how it looks' in InDesign.
