Hello there.

 

So I am making a document in InDesign CC 19 and I have a problem with Color Proofing. 

All my objects and files are already in CMYK and are in high quality PDF or PSD. Whenever though I turn on the Proof Colors , my colors become blank.

 

 

Here are my settings:

 

 

It's a quite big project, waiting for your response.

Thank you

Now that I tried to open it with Photoshop ( after I exported it as a PDF file for print), the color proofing is ok. 

Getting crazy over here.

It's best to work in RGB and convert via PDF-X-4

Just to clarify Derek's post, PDF/X-4 won't technically convert RGB to CMYK in the PDF; it's meant for the printer to do a (hopefuly) color managed conversion. However, PDF/X-1a will convert RGB to CMYK, although it is not as desirable since transparency is affected too.
