scaling an image in indesign

Hello forumers.

is there a way yo scale and down an image/photo/picture in indesign as in ps or illustrator? im getting confused with the indesign way to do.

Thank you.

That's what I do as well, also (for CS4 and upward) of smart guides help you make slam to widths of "common" as a block of text, or another image.

Omitting on Bob: rather than SHIFT, in InDesign's drag with Ctrl/Cmd can evolve. Add shift to maintain its original width/height ratio (this is a feature shared for all the drawing tools in InDesign).

A picture is kind of a special case, because the default is to resize the frame - without affecting the image (something miss me dearly in Illustrator!). By clicking on the image with the white arrow to select the inner stuff - the actual image-, then you can put across and around drag in his (prescribed) bounding box. Usually, we can't move/scale them independently and it is this that Cmd/Ctrl and Shift + drag is for.

  • Put image in Indesign for web designers... Question about res - 72 or 300 ppi?

    I would like to create a blog with an image header. Not too sure that res images I placed in InDesign should be.

    Once the header of the blog I'll export as JPEG at 72 dpi, but when it comes to place the image should i:

    Place the image with 300ppi, then export blog header in JPEG format at 72 dpi?

    OR

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Just place the image.

    Select the image and choose window > Info you will see two things, effective and real.

    Real, is what is the image - and effective is the ppi is after the scaling.

    It is apparent, you need to find that he is above 72 dpi (doesn't bother me if it's 105, 19990000 or 193.392392 or 300 ppi) as long as it's above it.

    Once all the

    File > export, then choose PDF

    Open said PDF in photoshop (one of the few times that it is a legitimate thing to do)

    Then use file > save for Web and choose PNG 24 (or JPEG but PNG gives better quality)

    Also, make sure that your measurements are correct in the Web dialog box.

    That's all.

    Why I can't mount images in InDesign from the 'images' as I did from "iPhoto" before?

    Browser multimedia lla only will show you photos from your photo library, if the library is your system library.  Check in Photos preferences > general, if 'use as a Photo library system' is UO greyedcrossed, as it should be.

    and the application must be fully compatible with El Capitan, or it can only show the iPhoto and Aperture libraries.  You may need to update your copy of inDesign. I don't know, if there is a newer version.

  • Implementation of an Image in InDesign is modified with parts to cut...

    Hi all

    Here's a strange that I stumbled on and have not been able to overcome. I work with an image in PS, transformation to distort the image and gave him some perspective. Saved the image as a. TIFF with transparency on.

    When I place the image in InDesign that missing part of the picture as if it has been cut away. The picture is superb in a browser and in PS. I have bellows attached a screenshot to visually explain my dilemma. Anyone encountered this problem before and knows the cure?

    Hello

    This is an expected behavior, when you place an image in InDesign, then it displays a preview of the image but you has no impact of the exit, unless the image is of low resolution itself.

    In order to have the correct resolution of images, you can switch to view > display performance > high quality.

  • Shortcut to open the images in InDesign

    The shortcut to open an image in InDesign is Command-Option-double clickk. works well - except when you click on in the box of overlay in the text block or an underlying. Then the image will not open, even if it was previously selected and shows the blue handles and you double-click inside these blue handles. No matter if the image is in front of or behind another frame, priority is given in the text frame. What happens is: the text block editing window opens.

    Is it possible to have a keyboard shortcut, so that when you select a picture and then make some strikes, the image opens?

    Edit > keyboard shortcuts...

    The original edition... command is under the Edition Menu product area and has no default, but you can add your own. You will need to do a new custom set because you cannot change the default value.

  • Does anyone know why my images in InDesign do not have the same quality as in Photoshop?

    Hello world

    I'm new to InDesign, but I did a course accelerated and also does research in Google on poor quality images in InDesign.  I am having trouble with the quality of the images.

    I'm working on a magazine.  I started with the addition of advertising, first of all, some of the pictures I get from the internet and when I save them and import them into photoshop the quality is excellent.

    Then I save as a PSD file and export for the web saved in JPEG, the highest quality.

    I have sizes in Photoshop and InDesign, predefined

    I have the images in InDesign display quality.  Or, what I have to do before I import the photo?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Low resolution preview is the deafult, but you can change that in your preferences. I don't see anything in what you are doing that should cause a problem unless you're enlaging images in InDesign.

    I don't do things online, just print, so I do tend to work with images low resolution at all, but I guess it is possible that the quality is better, if you start with a high resolution image and make the downsampling on the conversion. Someone who regularly does this type of export would be a better resource. There are a number of threads, but on the quality problems with .swf exported if you look around.

  • percentage of the images inside InDesign scaling

    Hello

    got a picture with a size of 544 x 408 px meassured in photoshop.

    Sure as layers .psd to 264dpi.

    Bring it in InDesign where I create articles for a folio of 1024 x 768 px.

    At 100% the size of the image 101.489 x 96.233 px.

    It's a question of resolution, but if so it means pixels in photoshop are not equal to pixels in InDesign?

    Please, anyone who can explain this to me?

    Thanks in advance,

    Herman

    This is probably a question to understand the effective difference between 'Actual PPI' and "PPI." To see the difference, select your placed image and display the Info Panel (window > info). Then put the image to enlarge. As long as your Effective PPI is greater than 144, you have nothing to fear.

    Exception: If you create image for overlays files as sequences of images, use save for Web to create images to 72 dpi.

  • scaling of images

    I can't understand a problem.

    I installed InDesign Cs4 on two computers which is OK.

    But the second: when I paste the image on the page, resize it to 50% and want to copy just drag with Alt key to pasta with the original size.

    I have changed the preferences of switching between the when scaling apply to the content / adjust scale are but nothing.

    What should I do?

    Shot in the dark, but who knows: you have installed PlaceAndScale, by chance? If so, make sure to disable in preferences or remove it when you don't need - PlaceAndScale is great, but people often forget that they installed and then can't understand why things automatically resize...

  • Torch: OpenVG will increase the speed in real time for the scaling\rotating image?

    Hello!

    I have such a problem. I need to view the satellite map (not vectored) with the possibility of scaling on in real time. Map is a bitmap either 1500 x 1500.

    I'm doing the scaling that requires 480 * 360 for operations return the second part of the map on a defined scale, but it is not enough - it is slow to make good zoom in real time.

    Maybe someone knows is it possible to increase the speed by using OpenVG? (OpenGL is not supported in the torch)

    Thank you for your attention.

    Realization of OpenVG for play ~ 1500px x 1500px images, rotation & them staggering realtime works pretty fast.

    So if someone needs of fast image processing to use OpenVG
