Affinity Jules, thanks looks great. I'll try that. Haakoo, looks good. How did you do it? Thanks.

trying to replace the foliage behind the riders with sky. thanks

Actually it is replacing the selection with things right near it. What other tools would anyone suggest? Guess I could Clone but the results haven't been that good. Same with the healing tool.

After creating a selection with the selection brush I then select the Inpainting tool and it replaces the selection with a selection that isn't appropriate. How do I change what the Inpainting tool is changing to? I want it to selection the sky right above it but instead it goes elsewhere in the photo to find a replacement. Thanks, Pete

When I create a Master Page with just page numbers on it in order to add page numbers, and then apply it to the document, some pages in the document go blank. Not all of them. Except for these pages the numbers do get applied correctly. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

Ok, so I dont understand the color panel. What does it do exactly? Thanks for the help. It isnt clear to me from reading the help pages. Thanks.

I have a document with both color and black and white photographs, as well as black text. When I set the Color Panel to CMYK 0,0,0,100 so that the text prints as 100% black, that color panel is that way for all the photographs as well. When I export in PDF/X-1a2003, (which is supposed to use CMYK) how does the Color Panel effect this export? Do the color photographs then apply CMYK 0,0,0, 100? I also have set under "More", color space: As document and ICC Profile, use document profile. But wouldn't these cause the photographs to switch to CMYK 0,0,0,100? It appears that the color photographs are exporting in color, but why would they?

Thanks MikeW. Yes I checked the text

Yes, I did export in pdf/x-1a2003. There is some variation that happens with the black and white photos when they are printed. Is it caused by the color profile being RGB and export being CMYK? I dunno but I guess I will change the colour profile to CMYK and re-upload the file to KDP just to be safe. Doesn't sound like it will cause any further issues by doing that.

The colour profile is actually RGB and then I export it as CMYK. So my question is do I have to have the colour profile set as CMYK? Will this cause problems if the colour profile is set as RGB and I export as CMYK?

If I export my document (which contains a lot of photos) in CMYK, do I also need to have the color panel set to CMYK? Does it matter or will it all be in CMYK anyway if exporting it in CMYK? I am exporting to publish it on paper in a KDP paperback.

Any help? I guess I don't entirely understand the color panel settings vs exporting with specific color profiles. What happens if they contradict each other, as in this case? Black and white photos are set as RGB in their individual color panel and then are exported as CMYK...

Oh, so the color space panel on the right sets the color mode for the entire document not just the page you are working on...so I assume you were saying, Callum, that I should set the color panel mode on the right at CMYK and it will then match the export setting of CMYK and hopefully this will keep the black and white images from "straying" into having some brown/sepia. Do I have that right?

Callum, Not sure what you mean. I already have the document in CMYK when exporting and am having the problem I mention. Are you saying that in the color panel for each image I should set it as CMYK rather than RGB (as it is now) or Greyscale? Wouldn't it be better to set the black and white photos as Greyscale and the color photos as CMYK? Right now they are all set as RGB. I can provide the file but it is too large to upload here.
