: Can placing a raster file introduce swatches in InDesign? Can any raster format (JPG/TIF/PSD/PNG/etc) introduce swatches in InDesign when placed as a link? There are 2 swatches in my INDD document
Can any raster format (JPG/TIF/PSD/PNG/etc) introduce swatches in InDesign when placed as a link?
There are 2 swatches in my INDD document that won't delete (i know its an old issue), and these did not get introduced via any of the vector (AI) links. Just asking if the possibility existed that these swatches got into ID from PS files, or looking for a way to trace these back to their source.

To find spot colors introduced by placed images do the following:
Open the Links panel.
In the menu in the upper right corner choose Panel Options.
Scroll down and find Swatches Used and check the Show Column checkbox.
Now you can see in the Linkspanel which images that contains which spot colors.
If none of the placed images contain the undeletable swatches, there could be a bug in your document. Then you could do the following (a tip from Derek Turnbull at indesignsecrets.com/color-swatches-that-wont-delete.php):
Create an image containing the unwanted spot colors (make sure to choose colors with the exact same name).
Place the image in InDesign.
Remove the image again.
Now you should be able to delete the unwanted colors.
