Reply To: Using RGB JPEGs PSDs in InDesign

I agree with Eugene on this one. I lay out a small community newspaper and used to resize and convert all the images to CMYK TIFs in Photoshop. Then one month, just for giggles, I placed the supplied jpegs (all RGB, of course) in IDD without any PShop intervention and sent the PDF to the printer. The result in the printed paper was no worse than the previous issues, and in fact some of the images looked better. I still save as TIF the images I must grayscale, but I'm not even sure if that's necessary. Of course, we are talking about newsprint here, not a slick magazine.
