1. The pantone solid color books are missing with the latest 18.1 update. I have to use Indesign 2021 version now to do my work. Please fix!

   please add back the pantone solid color books to indesign. It's the most needed pantone set and I can't use Indesign 2022 until this is fixed.

2. Exported PNGs or JPEGs RGB Colors Slightly Different Versus Illustrator Export For Screens

   So here is the situation and setup.

   Illustrator File with Pantone Colors (Book LAB colors)
   Color Settings are synced via Bridge (NA General Purpose)
   Illustrator file is in CMYK Mode

   In Illustrator File is exported to PNG (via Exported for Screens)

   In InDesign the same Illustrator file is placed in InDesign and then Exported as PNG file.

   When looking at the attached image the RGB values are slightly different most noticeably in the red. When looked at with the eyedropper in PS the CMYK values read as the same on both but the RGB is slightly different.

   For example:

   InDesign PNG File Red = R255 G68 B56
   Illustrator PNG File Red = R239 G72 B62

   I tried saving the Illustrator file with and without an embedded color profile and no difference.

   So the question is, am I missing a setting or option somewhere or does InDesign just convert the Pantone/Lab/Values differently and if so should they not be the same across apps?

   Note: I did do a test where I converted the Pantone Colors in the FIle to CMYK Process Colors and that made the colors equal but for workflow reasons I like to keep one file and not have to create separate Non Pantone versions of the file if it can be helped.

   So here is the situation and setup.

4. Background Color changes to something crazy

   Background colors (that should just be white) go crazy on tables and other pages until InDesign is quit and re-opened. There's no specific action that seems to trigger the issue, and it appears intermittently. This is happening on version 16.4.0.54.

6. Wrong swatch color for color using hsb values

   I'm using InDesign version 16.1 on Mac OS X 11.3
   When setting a color using HSB values, the color which is created is wrong.
   In the screen shot I added you can see two swatches, both have the same related values.
   One is set via HSB the other by RGB.
   The HSB preview is totally wrong.

7. Color picker HSB interface not working correctly

   Indesign 2021 v16.1

   While using the new HSB interface in the Color Picker, when any of the the "HSB" radials are selected, the chosen color values change to something completely different. Please see the uploaded pictures for an example.

   When the cursor is dropped into the any of the CMYK value entires, the color changes back to what was intended.

   If the selected object still has a color thats chosen in HSB is sampled and applied to another object. the new object's color will show up in the color picker as the intended color but with a in-gamut color option of the wrong color below it.

9. InDesign's eyedropper tool is inaccurate. Photoshop's eyedropper tool is perfect.

   First off, thanks for the wonderful apps! This is about the eyedropper tool featured in both InDesign and Photoshop. The eyedropper tool in InDesign does not grab the exact color from a source image, yet the eyedropper tool in Photoshop works perfectly. Is there a way to use the Photoshop eyedropper code in InDesign, so that it will acquire an accurate color, and users don't have to open Photoshop to acquire the correct color when working in InDesign? Thanks!

10. Rendering intent not being respected switching color spaces inside Swatch-Panel

    Hi there,

    so apparently the rendering intent set in the document OR the application isn't being respected when the color space of a swatch is being changed e.g. from RGB to CMYK.

    Tested in InDesign 15.1.3 and 16.0.1

    Steps to reproduce:
    1 create a new document, with working spaces sRGB and "PSO coated v3" (profile available on eci.org)
    2 create a swatch, e.g. RGB 0 / 98 / 227
    3 change to CMYK, results in the correct 90,64 / 63,6 / 0 / 0

    Now
    - go back to step 2
    - change the "Solid Color" rendering intent of the document to Perceptual
    - now change the RGB swatch to CMYK again, results in the same, but now definitely WRONG color value.

    Expected behaviour:
    after changing the rendering intent the swatch should result into
    89 / 64 / 0 / 0

    Be aware: this only affects switching the swatch. If I keep the RGB swatch and export to PDF with color conversion the applied color is correctly converted.

    It doesn't matter which color space is used , RGB -> LAB also results in the exact same values.*

    [edit: * this sentence is nonsense since rendering intent is used for mapping LAB to CMYK/RGB]

    Thanks in advance

    Best regards
    Jens

11. Editing a Gradient Swatch affects orientation

    When a Gradient Swatch is edited, the orientation / position of that gradient on existing objects is reset. Changing colors / knots should not affect the position of applied gradients.

12. overprint function works wrong! > Illustrator & Indesign

    As Indesign & Illustrator unfortunately is doing right now:
    If the overprinted area contains a smaller amount of the same base colour (c/m/y/k) than the overprinted area, the overprint function mutates into a kind of cut-out function:
    in which case Adobe replaces the area of the cutoff area with the lower color value of the area to be overprinted.

    Example 1
    Area below to be overprinted (cmyk): 20/0/100/0
    Area at the top that is to overprint (cmyk): 40/0/0/0
    A.) Current result cut surface: 40/0/100/0 (okay)
    B.) Correct result cut surface: 40/0/100/0
    or C.) alternative result* cut surface: 60/0/100/0
    (*where the value is added until it reaches max. 100% of the color value)

    Example 2
    Area below to be overprinted (cmyk): 80/0/100/0
    Area at the top that is to overprint (cmyk): 40/0/0/0
    Current result cut surface: 40/0/100/0

    Example 3
    Area below to be overprinted (cmyk): 80/0/100/0
    Area at the top that is to overprint (cmyk): 40/0/0/10
    Current result cut surface: 40/0/100/10

13. "Load paragraph styles" changes CMYK numbers

    1. Version 15.0.1, Windows. (Tested with some previous versions also.)

    2. Steps to reproduce:
       First: I'm using "Europe General Purpose 3" colour settings, which should, in general, preserve CMYK numbers during workflows.
       Create a new document A.indd. Define a new CMYK swatch S (for example, C50-M0-Y0-K0). Define a new paragraph style P which uses S as character colour.
       Create another document B.indd. Assign it some different CMYK profile than A.indd has assigned.
       Use "Load Paragraph Styles" to copy style P from A.indd to B.indd.

    3. Expected result:
       In B.indd, I expect to have swatch S with exact the same CMYK numbers than in A.indd. (That is what I get with "Load Swatches" or with copy-pasting P-formatted text from A.indd to B.indd.)

    4. Actual result:
       Slightly different CMYK numbers for swatch S in B.indd. That is, Indesign is doing CMYK-CMYK colour conversion during style load.

14. Column Rule colour is inconsistent vs. Fill and Stroke

    The colour applied to a Column Rule is darker than elsewhere applied, e.g., Fills and Strokes.

    1. New file.
    2. Draw a text frame (no text needed) and set the Columns to 2 and turn ON the Column Rule with default values. However, set the Colour to 10% Black.
    3. Set the Fill and the Stroke of the text frame to the very same 10% Black.

    Notice that the Column Rule is darker than the Fill and Stroke. It shouldn't be.

    Hope this helps.

    Allan

    P.S. See the attached screenshot - I'm using Magenta rather than Black. Same results.

15. Color Dialog issue

    Right now, the color displayed is not the color of the item selected. The color seems to have frozen. If I attempt to use the eyedropper in the color palette selection dialog, the whole program freezes, and it is unusable.

    Second issue, If I double click to select an item in a group, indesign thinks I want to add text and automatically adds selects with cursor to start typing.

    so, two issues, color and forced type selection.

16. Radial gradient becomes oval when rectangle frame is vertical

    Radial gradient becomes oval when rectangle frame is vertical

    1) Version: InDesign CC 2018
    2) Draw a vertical rectangular shape and insert a radial gradient
    3) Expecting the gradient to be a perfect circle.
    4) Actual result is an oval gradient that is impossible to change into a perfect circular gradient, even when holding the Shift key while using the Gradient Swatch Tool.
    5) No matter what I do, the gradient remains an oval, unless I stretch the shape back to a square or a horizontal rectangle.

    The only annoying way I found to temporarily solve this problem is to rotate the horizontal rectangle 90 degrees. This allows me to use the Gradient Swatch Tool as I wish to create a perfect circular blend anywhere in the rectangular shape.

    Any solution to this without having to rotate the shape?

17. White shows as black

    All white (pure white such as paper, 0000, ffffff, etc.), shapes and even within linked images are showing black. Some pages are affected and some are not. If I go into the swatch slider CMYK mode, sliding K from 100 to 13 is normal, however, 12-0 starts scaling back down to black. I've tried linking to all types of images (TIFF, PNG, JPEG, transparencies). The file was fine last time I worked in it, but upon reopening this is happening. Is this a bug or a corrupt file?

19. Help with Swatches

    InDesign CC 2018
    Trying to create a new swatch with "none" selected, but when I roll over "new swatch" button I get this symbol 🚫. On another forum, the correct answer was to select a user defined swatch; however, I am new to InDesign and working on my first project, so I don't have any user defined swatches.

    Please help. TIA
