Question
Hi I am trying to package my inDesign file for a CD but a problem comes up with the pictures.  There are no missing links, but it says something is wrong:
"82 links found; 0 modified; 0 missing
Images: 0 embedded; 82 use RGB color space"

whats wrong with the RGB Color space?

Answer
There is nothing explicitly wrong with using an RGB image, but it will be converted to CMYK when the file is RIPPED. Therefore if you want to have absolute control over how the images color will reproduce you will want to convert them your self in photoshop first.
