Hi, I need your opinion on the following. I just started a new job where they have recently swped to InDesing 2. I was very excited to work with ID2, because I much prefare it to Qxp. But we have run into problems. Especially when using vector and raster images with identical colors in the same documents. The colors always come out with slightly different hues to each others. Now, the bosses are already talking about going back to Qxp and that's really upseting me. Do you know if problems like the one I described and others like transparency and what else, have been fixed in InDesign CS?
Thanks

THAT PROBLEM DOES NOT EXIST IN 2. On screen yes, but not printed.

I would like to beleive you, but we did have it.
We had the same cmyk values on screen but slightly different colors on paper...

Then it's your printer. Think about it. if you send something to a press ans they make plates w/ identical cmyk values... Its going to work.

it happens in quark too. get a printer's proof if you want to be super sure.

thanks Soler, I understand.
It is our printer that told us about the color discrepency. I've only been working there for a week and I don't know what this printer is worth.
Do you know how I can get some kind of official or unrefutable lists of all the known bugs in InDesign2. I really want to show my boss that it's worth sticking with it.
thanks

set your display settings to high quality - that will show transparencies better. i know with some .eps files it will maintain their transparency with that setting...
i'm guessing its your ppd's/printer, check that out
