No. The problem is as explained in the on-line help: InDesign supports color management for files that use either the RGB, CMYK, or LAB color model. InDesign doesn't support color management for the grayscale color model, or for spot colors as long as the spot colors aren't converted to process color equivalents. If a file with a grayscale object (defined in tints of black) is opened or imported into InDesign, that object will retain its grayscale qualities but will not be color-managed. > Why not try Stephen Marsh's action to save the grayscale as a CMYK and then > see if it makes a difference when you place the file in InDesign? Yes that is one workaround. Saving the file as RGB would be another. However this would mean increasing my storage needs by a ludicrous amount. It is hardly a good solution for functionality which really should be there, (since it has been part of Photoshop for at least two versions) to say "Oh that's no problem, just buy four times as many hard drives"!
