multiply images not working in indesign when publishing to web

[felixr4258606]

Hi,

No matter what I do, I can not get multiply image to work when publishing it to web. It looks fine in indesign, I then publish and it comes out normal.

I have followed instructions from another post saying to go: object - export options - rasterise, but this doesnt work either.

Any suggestions?

"object - export options - rasterise." That's not the way – do you mean Publish Online?

hi derek,

i know how to publish, its just the blending modes that are infuriating me.

Most blend modes are not supported in HTML.

Great.....what a headache. After my brand relies on using multiply blending mode.....

[BobLevine]

There are plenty of ways to handle this but if you just showed up to complain about reality, I hope you feel better.

Just export the image with the blanding mode as a JPG then drop them in place in the ID doc.  This should solve your problem.

Found a way to solve this yet?

Literally every object, image, gradient, color does not multiply when exporting to web.

Pretty sure most browsers support all these blending modes...

I am getting mixed results. I test-published the same document after making some new animations, and the effect was lost. The right side shows the blending mode published, left side shows later version opaque. I'm still troubleshooting to figure out why. So clearly, publishing online supports the blending mode (Multiply) shown below.

Did you ever figure out why Rachel? Im having this issue with text

Did you figure this out?

No, I think I gave up honestly.

Hi @Rachel25404590e6u1 and @REELHERO,

Thanks for sharing your experience. I can understand how frustrating it must be to have Multiply and other blend modes appear fine in InDesign but fail after publishing online. To look into this further, please confirm your exact InDesign version and the OS you are using. Also, let me know if this behavior happens only with this specific document or across other files as well. If it seems file-specific, it would be really helpful if you could share the InDesign file, so I can test it on my side. Additionally, a short screen recording of your workflow from applying the blending mode to publishing online would help us better identify where the issue occurs. 

Looking forward to your update.

Abhishek

What happens if you remove the Transparency Effect and change the Attibutes of the fill to Overprint?
