the same color looks different on different pages

Hello,

I have an image, a blue sky with some transparent (80%) white rectangles on it. This layout repeats itself on 4 pages. And on all 4 the color display is different. It is the same image, the same profiles, all the same. But it looks different. The first image is very bright and the 2 and 3rd much paler. Now I see that the attached images look almost the same, but in my document the difference is really big. In print looks also different.

I'll be very grateful, when you can help me.

Thanx

Thank you all for your answers. I changed the color modus to cmyk in photoshop first and back to Indesign, it looked everything much better....

i have to try also placing them on a master page, to see what happens..

Thx a lot again!

Some monitors can vary in color from side to side and top to bottom. Try displaying two pages in Acrobat and moving them around your screen.

Do you get a match if you turn on Overprint Preview?

Yes...it looks the same.

I'm not seeing any significant differences in your screen captures. Have you checked the PDF/X-4's output numbers in AcrobatPro's Output Preview panel? Is the background blue gradient positioned and scaled the same on all of the pages?

Can you provide an X4-pdf (with texts and other elements that are not pertinent to the issue removed) for comparison?

As the image seems to feature a gradient the visible image sections can make a difference.

Hello,

I'm not sure what you mean by "the visibile image sections", but here are some details from a X4-pdf...it looks the same as in my document.... I still couldn't find any solution...
