Background for some images not showing up in InDesign

[justinc66948569]

Issue:

The background for some images (tiffs, and jpegs) is not showing up when I place the image in Indesign

Additional info:

The image is of a product cut out from an original photo and placed on a new background in PhotoShop. The layers have been flattened. We have been given this image and it works fine on my co workers computer. This has occurred on more than one image.

When opened in PhotoShop the background and product appear as expected.

When placed in InDesign the background is gone, only the product appears on a transparent background.

I have re saved the file as a PSD and jpeg still no background, which was shocking as I know jpeg's can not support transparencies.

However when exported for web legacy then placed in InDesign the image/background appear as expected .

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

In Photoshop open Path panel and check for paths. Check if there is a Clipping path.

Another way, in InDesign:

Object -> Clipping Path -> Options

Choose None in Type drop-down menu

Well, deleting the path in Photoshop is not the best idea, you now can't for example create Wrap around an object shape and add effects to the shape instead of whole rectangle. To turn off the clipping path in Options dialogue is more flexible.

The difference is caused by Import options. If you turn on Show Import Options mark, you will see the option "Apply Photoshop clipping path". Generally it's turned on. If you turn it off once, it will be off until you change your decision.
