  1. Find/Change - Colour - Selected items?

    So, thought I would use this Find/Change - Colour to change all the colours of text/strokes/fills on a page in a college prospectus I am designing (each curriculum area has a different colour).

    There is no 'Selected items' in the search area. Only Document or All Documents. Wouldn't be so bad if it started on the page you was on, but no, it starts from page 1 every time making this potentially useful feature useless to me for this problem.

    Can I please request an option to add 'Selection' and or 'Current Page'.

    Thanks for your help.

  6. Add more than 1 color swatch at a time to CC Libraries

    I'd like to add a group of color swatches in one quick instead of one by one. It would save me a lot of time!

  7. Let InDesign pick RGB colors from RGB images in RGB Blend Space

    InDesign will be used for onscreen documents ore and more.
    Please facilitate that in the eyedropper.

    Maybe an easy switch to make a document RGB or CMYK would help (like in Ai).

  9. Apply color to linked vector file

    Add the feature to apply the color to linked vector file directly in InDesign (as at present you can apply the color to bitmap or grayscale raster file).

  10. Gradient Angle should be saved in Swatches

    Colour gradients can only be saved linearly without angles.
    It would be nice if the angle could also be saved in the colour gradient, especially for texts and lines.

  11. Warning for Registration usage

    WAY too many designers use Registration as a color in their jobs. This is a MAJOR mistake for print design. Indesign desperately needs a warning that can not be disabled every time Registration is attempted to be used, warning designers that it is NOT the same as Black, nor is it a "rich" black, and it WILL cause problems in printing.

  12. Copy CMYK, RGB values in Color Picker as text

    I would like to be able to copy RGB or CMYK values as text so I can paste them elsewhere. This would be helpful in my daily work where I make color palettes and then describe them with text in a brand guide.

  15. Allow patterned fills like in Microsoft Word

    More advanced graphic design software like Microsoft Word enables a pattern (with colour options) to be applied to a solid form. InDesign lacks this feature.

  16. Pantone libraries for color bridge CMYK formulas do not match the published Pantone formulas.

    InDesign team advised Adobe has their own conversion. That's unacceptable. Designers need the confidence that the color libraries are in fact what they are called in CS. Any time a project goes to press and does not meet expectations, a printer can simply say - those colors are not the correct pantones and leave the designer holding the bag. Yes we can manually enter the correct values. But, unless designers experience a project go wrong, they're probably trusting Adobe libraries to be what they're called in CS. Adobe needs to update the libraries, or delete them, or simply call them…

  18. Swatch-panner [mark] if colors are added with ink management

    If the colors are edited with [ink management]
    than it would be helpful if you can see it in the swatch-panel
    (Like the FullColor-marking behind the swatch)

    and
    Make [ink management]-setting a PDF-export-setting (in LowRes for example)
