Jpgs with white backgrounds are coming into my file with parts transparent

[trace1301t]

Having a weird issue currently when I bring a jpg image into my file it is randomly removing parts of the file as per the screen shot.  I can't really explain what happens,   If I cut the background out and import as a png it seems fine, but I don't have time to remove backgrounds on every sing image I am creating a large catalogue.

 I have tried importing into a completely blank file and it still happens. when I open in photoshop it is a complete image.

Have also tried closing indesign and restarting computer. have a decent computer with 64gb ram, 2tb nvme drive which has 1.44 tb free and a asus rtx 4070 121gb graphics card so system should be more than adequate.

Any help would be appreciated.

Mac? Turn off GPU Performance in your InDesign prefs.

If that's not it we need full InDesign and O/S versions. Posting one of the troublesome JPGs would help, too.

I have seen that you still use EPS, avoid it in modern times. I would also avoid PGN files, In both cases I would use PDF/X-4.

Could I ask why to not use PNG as it would be a big task to convert all to PDF/X-4 I have a minmum of 8 images per page in a 200 page catalogue so it would be good to know what the reason is going forward. Thank you in advance.

PNG does not support color management and has only a limitted concept of transparency.

Where do the files come from?

[trace1301t]

Ah ok thanks for that. I will be sure to remember that in the future.

Do you have Detect Edges selected in the Clipping Path options?

[trace1301t]

No but it had Photoshop path selected and when I set to none this worked perfectly Thank you for your help.

So it "applied" some random path?

[trace1301t]

Yes looks like it, was doing it on various images and all had different random paths, was a real head scratcher... so thanks so much for your help.
