Question

psd files stopped appearing in InDesign

I have worked with psd files for year in InDesign and never had an issue but suddenly when I import psd files or open existing InDesign files with psd files the image boxes appear empty. When I go to overprint preview they are there though. How can resolve this?

Where are they saved? Local drive or external server or cloud service?

Or did you embed them?

What color model do they have?

Did you open them in Photoshoip and save them with a different name and use that?

All files on local drive. I set up a new InDesign page and just dropped in a layered psd file, all fine, so I thought I'd sorted the problem, but then when I've tried a few other psd files they don't appear, image box looks empty. I save all photoshop files as CMYK with Coated FOGRA39..., all files the same. Everything was fine until I updated my system.

I've tried importing the files a different way but it's no better.

I've shared these files in case you can work out why some photoshop files work with GPU Performance on and other don't, seems no reason


I’m not seeing the problem with GPU on, so maybe it’s a problem with your graphics card? Does it happen with other formats or color spaces? I notice that your document has no CMYK profile assigned. Does assigning a profile make a difference (Edit>Assign profies...)?
