The latest version(s) of Photoshop cost just £8.57 a month (UK) and includes Lightroom.

You always work in RGB and make a copy from it in the unlikely event you need to supply an image in CMYK. That way you keep your flexibilty for various outputs such as using it for the web or for printing to a desktop color printer which may be CMYK + and whose software will do the conversion itself and get a wider gamut than CMYK.

Derek Cross · ‎Nov 19, 2016

Unlikely.

Derek Cross · ‎Nov 18, 2016

I'm sure Chuck would agree that you should be using the RGB color mode (not CMYK).

Also have a look at Flightdeck - it's a great ePub validator: FlightDeck (I have no connection with Flightdeck!)

Derek Cross · ‎Nov 18, 2016

Have you licenced ePub versions of these fonts? (Typekit fonts are licensed for ePubs.)

Derek Cross · ‎Nov 18, 2016

I recommend EcanCrusher (free) for opening and closing epubs, Mac and PC versions available: http://www.docdataflow.com/ecancrusher/ BBEdit (Mac only) for also editing: Bare Bones Software | BBEdit 11

Make a copy of the file so you can experiment and learn how to do it. Look at the Layers panel (to the right of the screen), locate the layer with the yellow background and change the color from the swatches panel. By double clicking on a color in the swatch panel you can change the color.

Derek Cross · ‎Nov 17, 2016

I should think Sandee Cohen's Quick Start Guide should cover this (and more!).

Derek Cross · ‎Nov 17, 2016

On my (retina screen) it/they looks fine.

Derek Cross · ‎Nov 16, 2016

Indeed, but as mentioned this is the order of spacing for (metal) typesetting; and not helpful to the OP at all, but it's, hopefully, interesting to nerds like us! Justification and Spacing- The Happy Dragons' Press

Derek Cross · ‎Nov 16, 2016

I've been checking as well, in metal typesetting a thin space is a fifth of an em, but I see in InDesign it's an eighth!

Derek Cross · ‎Nov 16, 2016

Good info, except a thin space is normally considered a fifth of an em and an em is not the width of a capital M, for example imagine a condensed face.

Derek Cross · ‎Nov 16, 2016

What's the issue?

You might find this Photoshop online video course helpful: Photoshop for Designers: Type Effects (You can get a 10-day free trial.)

Derek Cross · ‎Nov 15, 2016

And you can use this technique to delete the folios you may not want to appear in the front matter (for example).

Derek Cross · ‎Nov 15, 2016

Just select the running headers you want to remove using ctrl/cmd + shift and then delete.

Derek Cross · ‎Nov 15, 2016

You may be better start starting with a simpler task and build up your Photoshop skills before tackling more complex effects. Lynda.com have a range of online video tutorials which would help, you can get a 10-day free trial.

Derek Cross · ‎Nov 15, 2016

Perhaps take this online video tutorial, you can get a 10-day free trial: https://www.lynda.com/InDesign-tutorials/InDesign-Insider-Training-Color-Management/410686-2.html?srchtrk=index%3a1%0alinktypeid%3a2%0aq%3aInDesign+and+color%0apage%3a1%0as%3arelevance%0asa%3atrue%0aproducttypeid%3a2

Derek Cross · ‎Nov 15, 2016

Do you have to use an eps, it's an obsolete format.

Derek Cross · ‎Nov 14, 2016

Check out the pixel dimensions of the original stock images as they may be rather large and you may want resize them in PS before placing them in InDesign. You presumably know about "Effective resolution" in InDesign. The idea behind 300ppi is that it allows two pixels per line screen (say 150LPI), you can get away with less, say 200PPI at a pinch.

Derek Cross · ‎Nov 14, 2016

The advantage of using native PSD files in InDesign is that you can round-trip to adjust them. By the way, I assume you know that you supply a PDF to your (commercial) printer from InDesign, probably PDF/X-4.

Derek Cross · ‎Nov 14, 2016

InDesign CS6 is not supported under El Capitan. Some seem able to work with it and some, like yourself, have issues. It's probably worth considering upgrading to the newer version of CC2015, or maybe CC2017.

Derek Cross · ‎Nov 14, 2016

It's not pixels per square inch, but pixels per inch. You set the image size and resolution in the Image Size dialogue box and then: File > Save (if you want to overwrite the existing file) or Save As and rename it and/or choose a format, such as JPG.

Derek Cross · ‎Nov 14, 2016

If the image is Grayscale change the Color Mode to RGB.

Derek Cross · ‎Nov 14, 2016

Use Save As, not Export As.

Derek Cross · ‎Nov 13, 2016

Is it a layered Photoshop file, if not and if its say a JPG it may be tricky. Can you post a screen shot?

Derek Cross · ‎Nov 13, 2016

Have a look at this free tutorial: http://photoshopcafe.com/tutorials/how-to-update-photoshop-cc-and-keep-your-plugins/

Derek Cross · ‎Nov 13, 2016

Try pressing the Tab key.

Derek Cross · ‎Nov 13, 2016

Try exporting the document as a Fixed Layour ePub and see if it's successful or whether it throws up any issues if you validate it which may help you to discover why Publish Online isn't working for you.
