Reply To: Placed File Renders/Displays Wrong!!

I don’t think this has anything to do with RGB or CMYK.

The largest bubble appears larger in the placed version than it does in the edited version. The placed version appears stretched when compared to the edited version, and that could account for the color wash out.

How are you placing it in InDesign?

Did you draw a text or graphics box sized to the same width and height as the art? Did you click the tool that says “Fit frame to content” while hovering over the tool? Doing so would bring the AI or PDF into InDesign exactly as it appears in the originating file.
