I did try saving as a .TIF and got the same result. .PSD is not an "allowed" format in our workflow so I haven't tried that yet. The only time I go outside our workflow is for last ditch efforts to get an page out and I haven't gotten to that point yet. I'm almost enjoying fighting with it.
As for your DCS/EPS question.... We don't use DCS in ID. We use the usual file formats for the most part eps, ai, tiff(the others are engineered by the largest printing companies and we've used them for years). We use PDF presets to create a PDF from InDesign and then drop it in a Nexus hot folder. The Nexus output that we proof from and send directly to our printers are DCS files.
The only relevant data in the image is a clipping path which certainly must be used because of the format (don't ask). Again, as for the PS PDF, that's only a route I'd go for a last ditch effort. The files I work on need to be availabe to our creative departments to be picked up for future promotions and catalogs. That being the case the files have to adhere to workflow guidelines but still have to avoid output issues like this. So, I've got to find a way to troubleshoot this within guidelines. It may not be easy but I hear that's why they pay me. I'll keep your ideas in mind though. Thanks for your help.
