Publish Online Colour Issue

Hi all,

 

Wondering if anyone else has come across this issue when using the publish online feature in InDesign?

 

When I publish an RGB document online the colours seem washed out and as if they are being converted to CMYK.

 

InDesign doc is set up in RGB transparency blend space and looks as it should when working. Have played around with different 'Transparency Blend Space' and 'Colour Settings' but nothing seems to work (Please see below images for refernce of before and after it is published).

 

Oddest part is that when I export to a PDF it looks how I would expect.

 

Very frustrating, am i missing something obvious!?

 

Any help appreciated,

 

Thanks!

I did but still doesn't work for me unfortunatley...

 

Turns out that if I save the placed files as .eps or .pdf rather than .jpg this solves the problem so will use this as a work around for the time being!

 

Thanks for your help

also have this problem with InDesign versions from recent years.

There is indeed the solution of setting the color space “Emulate Adobe Indesign 2.0 CMS Off”, but this has a disadvantage for me, my documents are mixed CMYK and RGB, with this solution the CMYK is not interpreted correctly and I can't redo everything.

The effective workaround for me is not to import JPG or TIFF images, but to use postscript bitmap images by saving the images in Photoshop in “EPS” format.

Color spaces will be correctl

So to publish on "Publish Online" with the right colours I choose the profile Emulate InDesign 2.0 CM off, but for everything else I obviously keep my profiles

 

No, by default web browsers display as sRGB, so there’s no reason to ever turn off color management.

Color spaces will be correctly converted from postscript images on Adobe Publish (CMYK and RGB)
