Re: Re colouring greyscale or bitmap tiffs
Thank you, yes I can get bitmap images to work - I just tried it, so that is something I can use. I'm unable to do the same with greyscale images though.

Right, it's been a while since I did this with grayscale. You can add a clipping path to remove the background, perhaps as an alpha channel in the image if you don't want to draw a path.
View ArticleRe: Re colouring greyscale or bitmap tiffs
I tried that. I thought the Alpha channel would be a good option as it would retain the tonal variations of the image but InDesign must see it as a multichanel image i.e. not greyscale, as I as was...

Why not make the image transparent and RGB or CMYK, or even use a spot channel, if that's where you are headed? If the color is already in the image this all becomes academic.

Re: Text Wrap moves text frame
Thanks for the tip, Peter. The screenshots above show the problem. With text wrap on the image frame on, it pushes the entire text frame to the right instead of just the text inside.

Re: Text Wrap moves text frame
Nevermind, I figured it out. The text frame was anchored and that is why the whole frame moved to the right. I am sorry for the unnecessary list noise.Rick
