Using an image for "your own viewing pleasure" does not exclude you from copyright law, which is broadly the same throughout the world, (apart from those countries who do not uphold intellectual property rights).

Thank you for your suggestion Sandee – of course, I have a copy of your invaluable book (which I purchased at full price!).

This new online video tutorial from Lynda.com gives a very good overview of the features of various interactive digital formats that can be produced from InDesign CC2015: InDesign CC: Interactive Document Fundamentals You can get a 10-day free trial.

Mike Rankin has just published an online training video on Lynda.com on creating interactive documents from InDesign CC. The Lynda blurb description is below. (I have no connection with Lynda.com, I thought some readers of this forum would find it useful ) InDesign CC: Interactive Document Fundamentals Interactive documents are the new standard. Adobe InDesign was made for creating them. Publishing expert Mike Rankin offers a foundation for building interactive documents in InDesign CC, exploring what's possible with each kind of document: PDFs, ebooks, magazines, and more. Learn the basics of interactive objects like buttons and form fields, as well as techniques for setting up structured navigation with links, cross-references, bookmarks, and tables of contents. Next, learn how to add audio, video, and animation to your designs and tour Publish Online, Adobe's service for publishing InDesign documents to the web. Plus, take a look at some sample interactive document design workflows, including interactive PDF, reflowable EPUB, and fixed-layout EPUB. Along the way, Mike will point you to further resources for learning more about each specific document type.Topics include: Overview of interactive document types, including PDF and EPUB Creating interactive objects Setting up hyperlinks, cross-references, and a table of contents Working with media Publishing documents with Publish Online Creating EPUBs Following workflows for interactivity: interactive PDF, reflowable EPUB, and fixed-layout EPUB

Did you uninstall Photoshop using the dropdown in the Creative Cloud app (see screen shot below)? If not, I suggest you uninstall Photoshop again, then run Adobe Cleaner before reinstalling Photoshop.

"Make sure you are working in CYMK or at least convert the RGB image to CMYK." This is a bizarre suggestion. Converting RGB to CMYK is the worst possible workflow!

All the matters mentioned effect color, so there's little point in installing printer profiles if your monitor hasn't been calibrated. And if the continuous ink system inks haven't been made by Epson this can effect the color as well. The ColorMunki is quite a good bit of kit for calibrating your monitors and producing your own ICC printers profiles: Amazon.com : X-Rite ColorMunki Photo (CMUNPH) : Digital Camera Accessory Kits : Camera & Photo

These are complex issues, as you have no doubt discovered! Bear in mind that the colors that appear on your monitor in RGB will be much brighter, particularly oranges and greens, than can be reproduced in CMYK. You should be working in (say) sRGB color space and allow your printer's software to do the conversion. You can soft proof from Photoshop so you can get an idea onscreen of how it might print. Is there a printer profile you can download from Epson? Have you calibrated your monitor? If your printer is printing very dark your monitor may be too bright. Just a few ideas.

Derek Cross · ‎Oct 17, 2016

Apart from the earlier possible issues mentioned. InDesign CC2015 has excellent facilities for creating ePubs and Publish Online. For those who don't need these features the only reason to upgrade is operating system support.

Derek Cross · ‎Oct 16, 2016

These claims are not false "9x12sderw" – it's true that CS6 is not supported under El Capitan and later. Some users seem to run it without any problems but it causes lots of issues for some, and users need to be alerted, especially if their software is mission critical!

Derek Cross · ‎Oct 03, 2016

True, but most browsers don't have color management.

Derek Cross · ‎Oct 03, 2016

So there you have it OP. Keep your images in RGB. It means they have the widest gamut (you loose around a third of the color when you convert to CMYK). Remember the RGB color mode is correct (1) for websites (2) for your desk-top color printer, which will come with its own software to convert it to CMYK (or more depending on the model) (3) photo bureaux can use the mode and do their own color conversion, and (4) commercial litho printers will convert the images when they are included in publications etc they print to the space most suitable for the substrate.

Derek Cross · ‎Oct 03, 2016

Converting to CMYK yourself is the worst possible outcome. It'll often mean converting CMYK to CMYK or CMYK to RGB, imagine the loss of quality. For more information read this from some of the world's greatest experts: http://indesignsecrets.com/import-rgb-images-indesign-convert-cmyk-export.php

Derek Cross · ‎Oct 03, 2016

Why nonsensical?

Derek Cross · ‎Oct 03, 2016

You can use Photoshop (instead of PS Elements) for optimising your images but please don't convert them yourself to CMYK.

Derek Cross · ‎Oct 03, 2016

Supply your images as RGB and let the publisher/designer/printer do any conversion to CMYK. This is important.

Derek Cross · ‎Oct 03, 2016

Why do you want to convert your image to CMYK?

Derek Cross · ‎Sep 27, 2016

And if you have the latest version of InDesign you can add a couple of animations and export it as Publish Online document and really impress your client! (You can also allow users to download it as PDF version.)

I suggest you buy a month's worth of Flightdeck validation to see what's going on: https://www.ebookflightdeck.com/

If a business can't afford a couple of dollars a day for a vital tool, maybe they're in the wrong business. And, for occasional users, there's the monthly subscription model where they just pay for the month(s) they need the tools.

Here's a CMYK space typical for a commercial litho printing. See how much smaller than RGB. The space of a (say) ten-color desk-top inkjet printer would be a bit larger.

Derek Cross · ‎Aug 31, 2016

As a matter of interest those on a Mac might like to look at the ColorSync Utility (found under Utilities). There you can compare color spaces such as sRGB and Adobe RGB (you can use the curser to rotate the chart). Some might be surprised to see how small the CMYK space is.

Derek Cross · ‎Aug 31, 2016

Maybe you should uninstall InDesign (using the Creative Cloud app), run Adobe Cleaner and Reinstall.

Derek Cross · ‎Aug 28, 2016

Do you have the latest version of InDesign – 11.4.1? (the upgrade came out a few days ago).

Derek Cross · ‎Aug 28, 2016

Try trashing your InDesign preferences: Close and relaunch InDesign, and IMMEDIATELY hold down Ctrl + Alt + Shift (Windows) or Cmd + Ctrl + Opt + Shift (Mac), and respond in the affirmative to the dialog asking if you really want to replace the preferences. you must be extremely fast on the keyboard (if you don’t see the confirmation prompt, you were too slow). You may have to do it a couple of times before you get the hang of it!

Derek Cross · ‎Aug 28, 2016

Are you stating that when you Export your document, JPG does not appear in the Format drop-down menu? By the way, which version of InDesign and OS do you have? In the meantime try exporting to PDF and create a JPG from the PDF.

Derek Cross · ‎Aug 07, 2016

And I notice in PS CC2015 – not sure if it's in earlier versions of Photoshop as I never use it – Filter > Render > Picture Frame. It gives you a wide selection of frames and shapes.

Derek Cross · ‎Aug 06, 2016

Make sure you create your frame or border on a separate Layer so you can easily return to it and make changes.
