Reply To: Indesign Spontaneous Swatch Change

It happened to me too around a year back when I was handling a large project where 100+ people were working on it. I randomly got one file, then other and other and other where the swatches were changed dramatically. It took me long to figure our who did that and finally I found the one, I was looking for. Then I asked the person to do one job for me. He did the job in the right manner, but when I showed him the swatches value, he was surprised too. I checked the colour settings and fixed it. There was a colour mismatch on his system.

I realised that some people are still unaware of the basics of Colour Management and most of them don’t care about it. Therefore, after completing that project, I started giving the Colour Management training, basic level to my team mates. Now they have some knowledge in hand and can take decisions whenever a ‘Profile Mistmatch’ Dialog-box pops-up.
