New to InDesign Windows

[acarney_caeyc@adobeforums.com]

I am new to InDesign 2.0.2 and Photoshop 7.0 (windows). I am trying to add color to a grayscale .tif image placed in InDesign but no color is showing. I've used this technique alot in the Mac platform .... is there a secret to adding color in the windows platform???

Use the direct selection tool (white arrow) to select the graphic.

It must be grayscale and it can't contain transparency.

Thanks, that worked great for getting color to the image but I now have a white box behind the image so I applied a clipping path (in InDesign) to elimimate the white (and it worked). Is there a better way to elimimate the white background?

You can delete the background in Photoshop and save as a transparent
TIFF or PSD, but then you can't color it in ID.

Hi,

I would like to change the color of the cursor when using the text tool - so it's easy to find no matter what bg color I use in the document.
Nobody seems to know if or how this can be done...

Can anybody help?
