Solving the Shadow Problem
Place the image twice, for separate handling of the shadow and the object. Use Object Layer
Options (le) to control the visibility of layers, and set the shadow’s frame to Multiply. e
result: a shadow that images correctly (right).
Keep in mind that the limitations (and solution) apply to anything in a
Photoshop file that uses any blending mode (not just shadows, and not
just the Multiply blend mode).
Screen Mode
To see different representations of a document, choose View > Screen
Mode and select from the Screen Mode menu to toggle among four
Screen options (you can also use the last tool at the bottom of the
toolbox to select these modes):
•Normal: Page and pasteboard are visible, and guides, margin indica-
tors and hidden characters (such as paragraph markers) may also be
shown, depending on the user’s preferences.
•Preview: Guides, margin indicators, and hidden characters are not
displayed. e pasteboard area changes to gray (unless the user has
selected another color in preferences), and only the trim area of the
page is shown. Any non-printing objects are also invisible. Preview is
also useful for quickly noticing any artwork too close to trim. Quickly
toggle between Normal and Preview modes by pressing the W key on
the keyboard (provided you are not currently in a text frame).
•Bleed: Appearance is the same as for basic Preview mode, except that
the bleed area is also displayed, if a bleed zone has been set up. is
can make it easier to visually determine if the document has adequate
bleed. To set up a bleed zone if the document does not have one,
choose File > Document Setup, and enter the appropriate value in the
Bleed amount elds. Click the More Options buon in the Document
Setup dialog if necessary to display the Bleed amount elds.
•Slug: e trim area of the page is displayed, along with the designated
slug area.

Handling alerts about missing or mismatched color profiles
Color management is enabled by default throughout Adobe Creative
Suite 5. Under most circumstances, the most flexible prepress workflow
is to have color management on, because the color settings are
designed for a safe CMYK workflow. Turning color management off also
disables profile and policy warnings, which increases the chance of
misinterpreted colors as graphics are moved among applications,
particularly for RGB objects from color-managed applications.
If you frequently encounter alerts indicating missing or mismatched
profiles, provide customers with the color settings in use at your shop
and have them use Adobe Bridge to synchronize them across their
workgroup. Some color settings files, such as the North American
General Purpose 2, are configured to preserve CMYK numbers and
convert RGB without displaying mismatch warnings. If you use such a
color settings file you will rarely encounter the warnings described
below. Other color settings, such as North American Prepress 2, are set
to display warnings so that you can monitor workflow status more
closely. If you do see the following alerts, it is safer from a prepress
point of view to make choices that preserve RGB profiles and preserve
color numbers of CMYK objects. When you open a file that displays a
mismatch alert, you may encounter it twice: once for the InDesign RGB
working space and once for the InDesign CMYK working space.
The Profile or Policy Mismatch dialog box appears when a document
opens on a computer that uses different color settings than those used
to create the document.
