Preserve spot colors when you import the InDesign file into another InDesign file

Work in InDesign CC.

I often import InDesign files into other InDesign files and find it very useful for my workflow. Often it is a file that acts like a piece of the library that is used in the other files and I love being able to just change it and automatically update the other files.

However I just came up with a work that is CMYK + spot and spot colors are not preserved import - they seem to import as CMYK. Can I export a PDF file and do it this way, but I prefer to skip the intermediate step.

Any advice?

Have you checked? It really looks like that process tasks is enabled in the file of reception, but I expect that to affect the PDF as well.

I tested on CS6 and it works correctly, but I have on thei smachine CC, and no time this morning to start it, then maybe someone else will test for you to see if they get the same results.

  • problems to capture the audio layer when you import the m2ts files

    Hi all, I'm new on the side of the entire video editing and so would be grateful for the help.

    I just bought a camcorder Canon HF200 HD, and a Sony Vaio notebook that came with Premiere Elements 7.0 preinstalled.

    Last month I've been shooting sequences and down just to try to change everything and set up a DVD.

    The problem I have right now (and I've just started using the program, so everything is new for me) is that while I seem to be able to import the m2ts file format in which my camera records, only the video is imported by first - no audio (it reads the file ok, no errors appear, but when I go to review images there is video but no sound).

    I can play all my videos in Windows Media Player very well, both video and audio.  So it seems that my machine is able to read the files correctly in this program.  However, it seems that the audio drop out when I import the file in first.  The program was pre-installed on my computer and when I have a look at the audio settings, it doesn't seem to be a possibility to change the settings to something different.

    So far, I've spent a long time googling and trying to find a solution, but without any joy immediately.

    Enjoy the anyone can offer any assistance.  Is it just a simple setting I need to change?  Or I have to somehow convert the files in a different format before Elements 7.0 can read?

    Thank you.

    Jeff

    the machine I have appear to be consistent with the specifications required by PE7 (and given that it came with pre-installed PE7 which should be the case).

    There are two things to consider:

    1.) edition of most of the images, especially material to SD

    2.) editing AVCHD, currently the most demanding of all popular video formats to edit. That's what you have.

    Now when you launch the pre, you get a splash screen. There you can open new create a new project, open an existing project that has been recently opened, or open a project by browsing to it. We can also leave.

    In your case, you go again and when the dialog box opens, choose the preset for AVCHD w / DD 5.1 SS Audio.

    Also note, that in the Edit Mode, there are two Modes of display (access via two icons to the left of the lower panel), view timeline and sceneline view. For DD 5.1 SS Audio Clips, you will find Timeline View Mode to be the best. Now, you can switch back, but the timeline view Mode will give you infinite control. It is estimated that change the most programs use, and most publishers use.

    Good luck

  • Get "... a file and invalid format." (Error no. 11) "when you import the .tdms file in DIAdem 11

    I developed a script to process the .tdms file in DIAdem 11.1, now I deploy the script on the same PXI system that created the .tdms file.  This system had DIAdem 11.0, but when I try to open (DataFileLoadSel) the file tdms in my script, I get the error message:

    "D:\MyFileName.tdms" has a format invalid gall.  (Error no. 11)

    Tdms files are created by a LabView application.

    If I delete the index correspondin .tdms file, I get a little further, it loads the first two of the four groups, using DataFileLoadSel on the first group and DataFileLoadRed on the 2nd group, the third group, another DataFileLoadRed, I get the following error:

    Error in (line: x,: y):

    Unable to load the 'D:\MyFileName.tdms' file with the charger "TDMS.

    Additional information:

    Is there a difference between DIAdem 11.0 and 11.1 affecting the .tdms file import, if I can get around it?

    Thank you

    Hello eberg,.

    Before we get into more detailed error recovery, could you please try to install the format TDMS 2.0 on the computer of DIAdem 11.0 (DIAdem 11.1 and LabVIEW 2009 come with TDMS already installed 2.0 stuff).

    Hesitate not to download it here: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/9995

    Once installed, please try to run the Scripts (in DIAdem 11.0) and let us know if that fixes the issue. He could not help to install this, but it's a quick thing to try before dig us more deeply into the question.

  • No sound when you import the .m2ts files

    If I play with the Premier Pro trial version.  When I import my Panasonic TM700k .m2ts file there is no audio track.  There is no sound during playback of a video clip or after that I have to export it.  I'm new to PP so maybe it's something basic.

    Only 8 367 people asked before. Read the limitations of the trial version.

    For reading reduced:

    * The trial version of Adobe first Pro CS5 does not include some features that depend on software licensed from parties other than Adobe.  For example, some codecs for encoding MPEG formats are available only with the full version of this product.

  • camera raw does not open when you open the .exr file

    How can I do the raw camera window to open when you import legacy exr files.

    It works with other files as .cr2 but exr camera raw windowless

    AE opens EXRs very well.   You would normally add an effect to your EXR (exr image sequence) on the timeline for the color correction.  If you are on the last AE... Discover the new Lumetri color effect in the effects & Presets (he is hidden in the utility folder at the bottom of the list).   It of really great for those who like the types of controls that you get in Lightroom (or camera raw).

  • Is it possible when you save the psd file to put an automatic jpg file saved at the same time?

    My job is to prepare images for print viewers and window facilities.  My clients need to approve in advance the photos before printing.

    I generally save my psd files, but because the files are very large in this format I usually save another copy in a jpg file which has a much smaller file size.  This makes it possible for me to add to a presentation and and send them to my client.

    Is possible when you save the psd file to put an automatic jpg file saved at the same time?  Or that I always have to do it manually?

    I tried to reproduce your problem with your definition of color.

    In my view, the difference in colors exists only within the Muse, because pixel representation and not vectored your SVG data are used.

  • Crashes when you save the eps file

    Don't know how to solve this problem. Saw the comments on changing the time zone, but I can't seem to find where to change this setting (within AI? or are they referring to my computer settings?) Have also tried to install the new Adobe CC 2014, but even that one goes down. Also, I rebooted the computer, but it's always the same problem.

    Thanks for any help.

    Try to "Place" instead of "Import".psd files  When you place the images, you have the possibility to link the files and then again when you save as > EPS.  You have probably inadvertently incorporated the .psd files.  The right method of importing image files using the file > place command.

  • After you import the avi file to new laptop, reading looks like he will ignore the frameworks

    I created successfully a project of first Pro CS5 using my desktop computer computer (i7 with dedicated NVIDIA graphics card) without any problem. I then imported the video file avi created on my desktop to my old laptop (intermediate level) with the same edition of Premiere Pro is installed and enabled in Premiere Pro create a new project it without any problem reading. After moving first Pro CS5 to my new laptop higher end, I imported the avi file of the desktop to create a new project on the new laptop, but when I went to play the video in Premiere Pro on the new laptop, the picture is shaking during playback as executives are to be ignored. The new laptop is far superior to my old, so I don't know what is the issue. The new laptop is an i7, 64-bit, 8 Gig RAM, NVIDIA GeForce 650 M graphics card.

    Is there a different setting that I needed in Premiere Pro on the new laptop computer?

    There is a slight problem with versions of unix

    If you use the exportsecurity utility it will create a file called:- secFile.txt

    When you use the importsecurity utility, it looks for a file called:- Secfile.txt
    As it is case sensitive you must update the secFile.txt exported

  • Color variation when you import a PDF file with transparency masks

    Hi, I have a CC PDF Illustrator with multiple pages and multiple spot colors defined by the user and on some pages of an element containing the mask transparency.

    The problem with color deviation between the pages with and without the object that contains the tx masks as they are imported into InDesign.

    Looking at the page in InDesign with the described object, color chart, imported from Illustrator no longer correspond to any PDF file.

    Without the mask tx, correspond to the Illustrator PDF color chart color placed in the shade in InDesign.

    What is going on?

    Unlike Illustrator, InDesign can support RGB and CMYK colors in the same document. If InDesign won't change the colors of your Illustrator object placed as long as there is no transparency on the spread.

    When transparency is applied to the spread, all objects have to 'mix' by using the same color space. I think that this is necessary if the transparency must be flattened as it should be for many printers. InDesign uses the color set under Edition space > space of merger of transparency to determine the color space. By default, it is a print CMYK document.

  • Photo quality poor when you import the slideshow in items 10

    Hello

    I use elements and Photoshop Elements 10 on Vista.

    What I'm trying to do, this is a slideshow that I made in Photoshop in a film that I make the slide show appears as a menu item and I don't have to include a separate for importing images drive. I have sucessfully imported, added the menu marker and the drive works, but the photo quality is really crappy. When I play the slide show on its own, the pictures are very good. What Miss me?

    Welcome to the forum.

    They work on several levels:

    1. A subscriber comes with a problem or issue, and then, I hope someone will have an answer
    2. A subscriber comes with a problem or issue in mind and then searches for other threads, very similar and I hope that receives the response
    3. A Subscriber has been read, looking for ideas, etc.

    In your case, it seems that # 2 worked, just as it should.

    As for your question, PrE can produce slideshows for display of DVD video, as good as it gets. Videos / commercial DVD enter into a different area, with video footage, with the movement. There, Hollywood uses a special transcoding software, which allows a lot, much more past to identify areas of movement, to transcode just the right speed for best results. Before the fact that with but two passes, in contrast to the programmes of US $500,000, composed of highly qualified experts, who have nothing other than transcoding, throughout the day. PrE is limited in this regard, but with a slideshow, it will be able to apply the higher speed (DVD-specs. are strict here, therefore, flow well higher = more high quality, DVD-video can go only so far.) Also, Hollywood uses DVD-9 (DL) so that more time can be created on a disk, to the highest permitted speed, for each segment of the video. With a slide show, the throughput will be higher than the DVD specifications. allow and by the length of the slideshow vs the disk capacity.

    Now, there are a few other considerations, such as the limited range of colors and Gamma of DVD-video vs displayed on a calibrated monitor or a calibrated broadcast monitor. Must study this limited and different color range and perhaps adjust the colors first, in Photoshop. Pre is not designed for the output of the show, so doesn't have many tools, which has PrPro. In addition, very few users PrE have a broadcast monitor calibrated for the color adjustment. Finally, even though it has produced the ultimate result, with a full understanding of the range of colors and used a perfectly calibrated broadcast monitor, unclear what will be the calibration of the monitor of the client (PC or TV). Which is perfect on a broadcast monitor calibrated would look great when installing the client, or maybe not. A Broadcast engineer can only adapt to the standards and hope for the best when the disc strikes the public. Ditto for the Audio. Who knows what can read DVD-Video "Aunt margin"?

    For ultimate results, I would create a montage with some Images, but with each adjusted slightly differently in Photoshop. Add a title, like a lower third, with the color and Gamma settings to each version, maybe variations 5, which are slightly different. PS allows you to adjust the colors and Gamma in many respects, so Explorer. Then, this timeline for DVD-video, using high quality media, the author and test it on their DVD player/TV Setup. See which version looks the best and the specificities of this title. To process the actual Images yet for DVD slide show.

    Don't forget, if you put things up ideally, they will be calibrated their system and Photoshop. Photoshop is a color managed work space, things will be, as good as it gets. DVD-Video and TV are NOT color managed workspaces and most consumers TV is out of calibration, having just the generic parameter of the factory. Nothing can be done about it.

    As mentioned above, if the reading is for a computer (not a DVD player and TV), then better color and Gamma could be achieved by an AV file and then burn that to a DVD Data disk, for delivery. However, there are still variables of the customer's computer, his monitor and even the player the software used. Play a large role in how this AV file will play for them.

    Good luck, and I wish there was an answer "relentless", on how to achieve the ultimate results, but there are so many variables involved.
