placing images in Indesign

[cwyenberg]

Hi,

I have a number of images to be placed in Indesign. A number of the images have slight shadowing resulting from the camera angles and lighting. However, when these images are placed in Indesign these shadows and background imperfections are removed (as though the Magic Wand was used to select the object in the photo only) Can anyone explain why or how this happens?

These images probably have clipping paths embedded in them.

They do and thanks for the quick answer.
