Problem inserting BW photos

[titobras]

I created a indd document that has a large beige colored rectangle in the master as base for all content ... when I try to insert black&white photos in it, the photos come as sepia ... I cannot undertand why is it happening. Any tip to solve this problem ???

The beige in the frame is blending with the photo. Either there is transparency in the native photo file, you have transparency applied to the photo and/or the rectangle, or there are lots of places where the photo is "burnt out" and the color of the frame's fill is showing through the photo.

I would look at the transparency settings and blends for both the photos and the frames.

There's of course also the chance that color management is totally out of whack. Is beige really beige?

So you created a frame on your master, filled it with a color.

Then you go in your document and placed the B&W picture in the colored frame.

The white in your B&W picture is actually the paper color, if you would print your B&W image on a colored paper there would be the color of the paper coming through, white can't be printed in a CMYK workflow.

The same applies for your problem: your frame is filled with a color so the white (which is the paper color) is replaced with the color in your frame.

If you want just black and white, don't fill the frame with a color.

hope this explains it
