There are two possible types of mismatches: profile mismatches and
policy mismatches. A profile mismatch simply means that the RGB or
CMYK working space of the user who saved the document is different
than the working space of the user who is opening the document. A
policy mismatch is a difference in how each user resolves a profile
mismatch. For example, one user might preserve color numbers (by
ignoring embedded profiles), while another user might preserve color
appearance (by applying embedded profiles). Preserving color numbers
is typically correct for CMYK, but preserving profiles is typically correct
for RGB graphics with embedded profiles.
When you see a mismatch alert message, you can take one of these
actions:
•Reconcile the root cause of the alert message: Click Cancel and
determine why the customer is using color seings that don’t match
yours. en you can open the document and make one of the choices
in the alert message. If practical, have the customer and your shop use
the same color seings so that mismatches don’t happen in the future.
•Assume the document’s colors were correct in the customer’s
environment: For an RGB mismatch, if the document’s policy was
Preserve and the customer’s placed RGB graphics include embedded
proles, you can select Leave the Document As Is. ere is usually no
need to change the RGB (working space) Prole.
•For a CMYK mismatch, you may need to change the CMYK (working
space) prole to your shop’s standard. If the document’s policy was
Preserve Numbers and the customer’s placed CMYK images do not
include embedded proles, you can select Leave the Document As Is.
If the document’s CMYK policy was Preserve, you may want to consult
with the customer to conrm that they intended to use the Preserve
policy, because it is not CMYK-safe. If the document contains CMYK
objects with embedded proles, the Preserve policy keeps them,
which may result in CMYK color conversions at output time. If that was
not what the customer intended, simply choose Ignore Embedded
Proles to open the document in a safe CMYK mode.
•Defer the decision until later: Select Leave e Document As Is, but
at a later time be sure to choose Edit > Assign Proles to verify that
the prole assignments for both RGB and CMYK are appropriate, and
then, if necessary, change the proles.
Caution: If there was a policy mismatch, be aware that saving the document on your
computer applies your current color seings policy to the document.
You can change the profile assignment of an individual image. For
example, if you know that a placed image was saved with the wrong
profile, you can either assign the correct profile or simply ignore it if the
correct profile would match the document’s working space.
Note: You can change the prole assignment of bitmap images only, such as Photoshop
or TIFF les. You can’t change the prole assignments of EPS or PDF les.
To change the profile assignment of an individual image:
1. With the Direct Selection tool (white arrow), select an image.
2. Choose Object > Image Color Seings.
3. Assign the correct prole, and click OK. Assigning a prole to one
graphic doesn’t aect any other graphics and doesn’t change the
working space of the InDesign CS5/5.5 document.
At any time you can use the Info panel to identify the color profile of a
selected image.
See the “Common Resources” chapter for more information about color
management in Creative Suite 5.

Adobe InDesign CS5/5.5 can organize and manage sets of InDesign files
in a book filea binder that governs a collection of documentsto
dynamically share attributes and formats. For example, a reference
book with 10 chapters can be created as 10 InDesign files that exist
