If "image remap" in project set up is set to automatic, adding a new image box will force it and any existing images to be remapped for optimum page palette. This may take some time depending upon the number of images. If you have many pages containing lots of images, consider setting "image remap" to manual in the project set up module. the remap will then take place in one go when you move off the page.
