Blending multiple color spaces
To blend the colors of transparent objects on a spread, InDesign converts the colors of all
objects to a common color space using either the CMYK or RGB color profile for the
document. This blending space enables objects of multiple color spaces to blend when
interacting transparently. To avoid color mismatches between different areas of the
objects on-screen and in print, the blending space is applied for screen and in the
flattener. For more information about the flattener, see
The blending space is applied only to those spreads that contain transparency.
To specify a blending color space:
Choose Edit > Transparency Blend Space, and then choose one of the document's
color spaces.
Note: For a typical print workflow, choose the CMYK color space.
Creating transparency knockouts
Use the Knockout Group option in the Transparency palette to make every object of the
selected group "knock out"—that is, visually block out—underlying objects in the group.
When you use the Knockout Group option, only objects within the selected group knock
out. Objects beneath the selected group are still visible relative to the group, and are
affected by the blending or transparency that you apply to objects within the group. If you
want to ensure that a group of transparent objects will never knock each other out,
deselect Knockout Group.
Group with Knockout Group option off (left) and with Knockout Group option on (right)
To knock out objects within a group:
1 Select the group using the selection tool.
2 Select Show Options in the Transparency palette menu, if necessary.
3 In the Transparency palette, select Knockout Group.
