One of the great things of knowing how to use inDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop programs properly is being able to merge them into a good design. Perhaps the newsletter I designed required graphic work, sharp photos and a good layout. I could have used the appropriate program for its strength. Not only that, I would have been able to prepare my final output correctly for the printer.
I now not only know why inDesign is telling me that there is an error in my print job because the photographs are RGB, I know why it is a problem and, most importantly, I know how to fix it. I know that I can go to Photoshop and correct the mode of my photographs. (Hopefully this knowledge will save my office some money for time the print shop doesn't spend correcting this for me!) And I know that if I create anything that needs to retain its definition when increased or decreased in size that Illustrator is the software to turn to.
