Halo effect on psd image into Indesign problem

Can anyone help please. I have placing a psd file with transparent background into Indesign and seeing a thin white line around the image which doesnt appear in photoshop. I need to save it as a pdf then for printing but again there is a white line around part of the image. Its very frustrating as in photoshop i have placed the image on a black background to see if i can see the white line but it is not there. Help please.

  • How to import an image into indesign?

    how do i import an image from google images into indesign and then use as a background like a watermark?

    Save it out of Google Images to your hard drive. It'll probably be a JPEG file. Choose File > Place to place the image. To use it as a watermark, it will have to be on a lower layer or lower in the stacking order than other objects on the page.
    It sounds like you could use some help learning InDesign. I highly recommend Sandee Cohen's Visual QuickStart Guide, which is available for every version of InDesign. It's inexpensive and will save a lot of time learning the program:

  • Problem with imported images into Indesign

    I have scanned a book as a one bit (B & W) 600 dpi document. I have imported the document into Indesign as i need to integrate some decsreened pics in. I then export the finished document as a press ready PDF and the image virtually disappears off the page and what is left is very distorted. the type is twice as high and about five times wider than the original image.
    I have contacted the scanner company and of course they put the issue with the exporting to the PDF.
    Can anybody help??

    This is bug #2960217 filed by me in September, relating to Indexed over Gray colorspace, also with a Fujitsu Scansnap S1500M.

    The scanner that i have used is a Fujitsu Scansnap S1500M.
    In short, don't use it in Grayscale (Or BW, I guess) modes. Use it in Color, or make sure to process the iamge in another app (like Photoshop) and save
    it with a normal colorspace.

  • Importing Word into InDesign, problem with styles

    OS 10.6, CS5
    Hi everyone,
    Does anyone have any experience with importing styled Word docs into InDesign?
    Editors style their Word documents with some basic styles (Text, References, Headline, etc.) using a Word template that I created. Designers use import options to match the Word styles to the ID styles. This worked fine in Word 2004 and InDesign CS3: Word  "text" style would map on import to the InDesign "text" style, even though they had totally different attributes. Superscripts, italics, etc. would be respected as local overrides in InDesign.
    Then we upgraded to CS5. Automatic mapping on import no longer seems to work: After importing text, all the styles in InDesign have local overrides assigned to them that don't make sense (hyphenation exceptions, tab settings). So I'm left with importing the Word styles, using auto-renaming so that InDesign explicitly does NOT match styles.
    Then delete the Word styles one by one from the paragraph style panel, replacing with the desired ID style.
    This has gone on for several months and we've now upgraded to Office 2011 but that hasn't solved the problem.
    With Word 2011 docx files, the import works almost like it did in CS3, the styles almost come in cleanly: If the style in Word has NO local overrides, such as italics or superscripts, the InDesign style is correctly applied. The problem is those local overrides in Word--InDesign not only respects the italic or superscript, it also respects the font attribute. All the Word styles are Times New Roman so all superscripts in InDesign are coming in as superscript + TNR. (see screenshot)
    Are we left with our original work-around? Importing styles then manually deleting and replacing them?
    This is frustrating because it used to be smooth and seamless and while some new features of CS5 are great, it's annoying that it's broken this fundamental function!
    I've tried saving the Word files as doc or rtf instead of docx but this doesn't make a difference in this problem.
    Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

    I'm an author / publisher.  I write in Word and I publish with InDesign. When I'm in the review stages, I like to edit my text in Word, so I export the text as an RTF.  When I import it back into InDeisgn I often find that some of the styles have annoying overrides from Word that break things.  (1) Paragraph style stuff about hyphenation and (2)  Characters style stuff about  Character direction: Left-to-Right style.
    * Easy global  fix:  select the whole text open the Window | Style | Paragraph window, and click the button on the bottom to remove all overrides. And do the same for the Window | Style | Character window. Before doing this, I like to check that I don’t have any italics that are in the file as overrides rather than being in there as part of a header style or as part of the Emphasis style that I try to use throughout the text instead of just an italic override. It makes me uneasy to remove all overrides, as I always worry there might be an important one I could have kept.
    * (1) Specific fix for the hyphenation overrides: Make sure the hyphenation settings in the individual InDesign paragraph styles match, so far as possible, the Word global hyphenation settings in the Page Layout | Hyphenation dialog of Word.    InDesign will import any Word hyphenation settings that don’t match the InDesign doc styles as overrides.
    Specifically,  set InDesign Hyphen Limit to ( say) 1 and set Word | Hyphenation | Hyphenation Options | Limit consecutive hyphens to the same number (say) 1. Also set InDesign Paragraph Style Hyphenation | Hyphenation Zone to (say) 0.5” and set Word | Hyphenation | Hyphenation Options | Hyphenation Zone to the same number (say) 0.5”.  And turn off all the InDesign optional hyphenation check boxes at the bottom of the dialog, and the turn off the two check boxes in the Word Hyphenation Options box as well.In Word you should also set Hyphenation | Automatic.  If you cautiously set Word Hyphenation | None the import will throw a “Hyphenation” override on the hyphenated paragraph styles, even though this maikes no sense.
    You may still pick up some hyphenation related overrides on your heder styles, if you have set the headers not to hyphenate.  You can either dump the overrides in InDesign or you can set your header styles to hyphenate…and be careful not have any headers actually be longer than one line.
    (2) I still haven't found the fix for the Left-to-Right text override.

  • How to import a PSD file into Indesign WITH layers so it can be edited/saved as an InDesign file?

    How to import a Photoshop file into Indesign CS6 so that it's layers show in InDesign and it can then be edited/saved as an InDesign file?

    What do you mean by "adjust"? Editing of Photoshop images should be done in Photoshop.
    Sure, it's possible to save individual layers from an image in Photoshop as inidvidual files in a variety of formats, but what's the point? You could just as easily import the layered file, then copy/paste it into a new layer for each layer in the image and use layer visibility to control which ones show. I don't think that will do you a lot of good, though, if you use adjustment layers or opacity controls on the layer in Photoshop.

  • Trouble placing Ai images into InDesign

    Have been sent jpgs of Google maps. Have marked out a number of things in different layers in Ai. When I place the ai file into ID the images become all pixelated. If i "fill frame proportionally" the pixelation disappears but the image is so small you can't any of the markings in the image. HELP very confused. Have tried saving in a number of different formats but the same thing happens. If I place the image without the markings directly into ID there is no problem. What am I doing wrong.

    InDesign generated a low-resolution preview when you place the Illustrator file. Either accept it or turn of High Resolution Display in the View menu.

  • Is there a way to drop an image into indesign and then have that file name captioned underneath?

    Hello! I'm looking to help a colleague into streamlining a process. We have to display images full page in an Indesign Document and every time we drop and image onto a page, we then need to edit the caption underneath with the file name. Just wondering if there is a way to automate this process? Any scripts available?

    When you place an image you can turn on the capture function. There are normal and live versions. The normal labeling creates a text as text is, the live version creates a variable which would change if the image or the text in the meta information changes, but it behaves like a single character which causes problems how the text will run in the text frame.
    What is drawn out of the Meta must be set up before in the caption set up option.
    When you drag and drop an image from the finder or from Bridge you can't activate this option.
    BTW I use it a different way which seems to me faster. I assign a shortcut to the labeling command and when I have imported the image, I click this shortcut and in a second step I apply an Object style which will format the text frame including Paragraph style which might be different on a dark or bright photo or upon a graphic.
    Normally I edit all meta information in Adobe Bridge, which is the fastest way to handle it.

  • Importing transparent images into Indesign

    Hi guys,
    Just started using Indesign cs6 and for the life of me can not work out how to import transparent pngs. All transparent images I import have their background changed to a white background. The image import options has an option to use transparency information, with either use white back ground (which is selected) or use file defined background colour.
    I assume i should be using file defined background colour but its greyed out. Why is this option greyed out and how can I retain a transparent bg in my image? The image i'm importing is fireworks png file.
    Cheers,
    Ps. First post, so go easy on me

    I don't have Fireworks and I haven't made any Fireworks PNG files.
    I'm not sure how they work. But I believe that Fireworks PNGs can contain editable layers for Fireworks use only.
    This may be part of the issue of the transparent background - but as I say I have very limited knowledge of Fireworks.
    What I will say with some degree of comfort is that PNG is primarily a web format - and it's not a print format. Adobe InDesign is a page layout tool intended for Print on mechanical presses - and it's only recently it's been geared towards Web, ePub and  Flash creation.
    Perhaps the Fireworks PNG simply does not work with InDesign.
    Can you save that Fireworks PNG from Fireworks to say a TIF of PSD? Which may be better for importing to InDesign.
    The only other solution I can think of is to open that PNG file in Photoshop and save it as a Transparent PNG from there using File>Save for Web

  • Importing grouped images into InDesign from Word

    Hi everybody. Is there anyone who can help me please?
    When I place work, Edit > Place and then Shift and click. It only place my text up until the first grouped image. But when I ungrouped it in Word, the whole document can be placed. Why can’t InDesign place grouped images from Word, is there a way to do this?
    Thank you!

    Thank you Steve, looks like I'll have to ungroup them first then.
    Thanks for the help

  • How to direct import iPhoto images into InDesign pages?

    Is there a simple way to import images from iPhoto and not loose resolution? I keep my concept images for client presentations in iPhoto and have been using Pages or Photoshop or Keynote to create simple presentation pages with images, and the same header/footer with my logo, project name. I would like to have a bit more type control so ran through tutorials on InDesign and didn't find my answer.

  • How can I import scanned images into InDesign CS5 using Mac10.6?

    I want to be able to import scanned images. What file format must I save the data in?

    For example, to print on a press you need images that are CMYK at 300 ppi, 100% scale. If you're just making office-quality documents or PDFs, you can use RGB images at a lower resolution.
    You do not need images to be CMYK for print. InDesign can handle the conversion from RGB to CMYK when exporting to PDF. The old rule of thumb that images for print need to be 300 ppi is history. The ideal minimum resolution is halftone screen times the square root of 2 (1.41421356). But you can get away with a lower resolution for most images.

  • Can I copy and paste a ppt image into Indesign CC

    Or do I still need to save it as a pdf and then place it as before?

    You don't have to create a PDF, but it would be helpful to know what, exactly, you want to do with the ppt.
    You can export as a PDF which will keep vectors and text as PostScript (crisp) elements.
    You can also Save As from ppt in a variety of formats such as PNG or TIFF.
    These rasterize all the vectors and text, but are very useful if you're laying out a miniature gallery of the powerpoint presentation.
    However, if you want to make the InDesign file a replica of the ppt slides for print, PDF is probably the best way to go.
