      Hi everyone,

      I'd like to make a presentation in InDesign. I put a background image into a different layer which I called “Background” and then I create a new layer which I called “Images” and place an image with a transparency layer. When I place this image onto the Images layer color of the image in the Background layer changes. I can not figure out why It changes its color. I'd be grateful to anyone who can help me resolve this problem ?

      Regards

      Cem

      Using Transparency forces the display to use “accurate colors” for your current Document Color space. Since not every color can be converted accurately from RGB to CMYK (InDesign's default color space), ID converts them to the nearest possible value.

      You are not printing the document — which does need it to be in CMYK space –, so you can simply change the blend space to RGB. It's in the File menu, I believe.

      Thanks for your helpful reply… Yes It works … It's in the Edit->Transparency Blend Space-> Document RGB
