Reply To: Exporting images from InD as RGB jpegs

IMHO it is very unprofessional to automatically convert all the images to CMYK when exporting. You need to see what happens and edit in RGB if necessary to get the best possible representation of your images in print. You need to know which color combinations work better in print an which don’t (greens with magentas etc.). Get a CMYK profile from your printer and do the converting manually if you want the best possible quality.
True, there are situations where some quality needs to be sacrificed for efficiency …

Concerning the follow up question: There is no inherent quality loss when using JPEGs – especially if you receive JPEGs fro the client, there’s no need to switch formats.
