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.

  • How do I import a .PDF into inDesign?

    How do I import a .PDF into inDesign? Does anybody know how? I need to edit a book in inDesign that is a .PDF. So if anyone know how to do that please tell me.

    Bob, Peter, grmg, many thanks for your very helpful comments.  Delighted mac/pc not relevant.  Will scratch that from list of herrings to chase.
    Re PDFs - actually, I'm working in Acrobat (not just a finalized PDF), and Acrobat does of course allow editing of a sort; I'd concluded that since Adobe is willing to tolerate that degree of editing with its product, it should therefore tolerate moving its native format (*.pdf) into another of its own native formats (*.indd). I see that's a misconception.
    This morning I tried all flavors I could find of getting my Acrobatted content into ID3, including copy/paste, place, and import (from the ID side); none was satisfactory.  Output from Acrobat to Word and then placing Word was fine for English but destroyed the Greek - not just wrong font, but complete gobbledygook and loss of all diacriticals.  Names of fonts don't matter for my purposes; the legibility of the English, and the legibility and tonic accuracy of the Greek do matter. Author of this project is not tech-savvy and is using old Greek system as well; nothing he or i can do to fix that.
    Current plan is to request author to provide me his native files, which will be Mac files.  Am I understanding the Import dialog and your collecitve comments to suggest that with that file resident on my PC (and unopened), I can use the Place dialog, with "Show Options" selected, to get the Mac file into ID?
    Chapeaux to those of you with constructive comments - hugely appreciated.

  • 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:

  • Help: import iphoto images into FCE

    Hi, Jake here. Hope you're all doing well....
    I just bumped up from iMovie 06 to FCE. Loving it so far, but still overwhlemed by the learning curve.
    Today's big question is how to best import a series of photos from iPhoto into FCE. I will be mixing photos & videos for most of my projects. I have tried these two things so far:
    1) Dragged & dropped from iphoto directly onto the FCE timeline. Image looks very blurry.
    2) Exported at max JPEG quality from iphoto to a location on my hard drive. Then imported file into FCE, then placed on timeline. It's every bit as blurry.
    Both images have a green line above them, indicating a preview render?? I don't get it, but I just know photos weren't blurry in the store when the Mac guys showed this to me a couple weeks ago.
    So what is the easiest way to do this? I want to import photos quickly & easily, then add effects & movement, but I can't believe that Apple has made it so cumbersome. I imagine I am missing something here. Please advise.
    Thanks!
    Jake

    I think Jake did everything correctly but is expecting too much from a DV format.
    I repeated the same with a 2304 × 1736 (4 megapixel) image and I got the same:
    - dragging a Photo JPEG image (square pixels) to a DV (PAL or NTSC) sequence requires rendering: I get the same green render bar on top
    - in addition the resolution loss from 2304 × 1736 to 720x480 (or 720x576) makes the image blurry
    If you compare the iPhoto image and the imported image in the viewer (not in the timeline) you see basically the same quality; but the same image already converted into the timeline is blurry.
    I'm afraid Jake has to live with this or move to HD. In any case iMovie could do no better than FCE.
    My suggestion in any case is always to check the final quality of the movie, during editing, on an interlaced monitor (TV) connected through firewire and a D/A converter (e.g. camcorder): mostly for still images.

  • How do I import multiple images into single individual cells?

    Hi folks,
    I'm new to the Mac (yeah!) and imagine there just has to be a way to import a bunch of images into separate cells in Mac "Numbers" ... am I right?
    Essentially what I'd like to do is a file folder with 600 images in it, and import those directly into Mac Numbers with one picture being assigned to it's own cell. So if below were a spreadsheet it would look like this:
    Actual Picture - Picture Name - Item Description ... and so on.
    I'm trying to work with inventory items, and this is the only way I can think of doing it. Suggestions!?!?
    Here is a link to creating a macro in Excel to do a similar thing:

    D,
    I guess you're taking another shot at getting a response. You risk getting parallel discussions going with the same content.
    What you are contemplating seems logical enough, but I think you will find that it is impractical in Numbers. Given the size of photograph files these days, you will choke Numbers in short order. You will have to be careful that you embed only photos large enough to be of use/viewable, and keep your full-sized copies elsewhere. You might find that an Apple Script can do the import for you, but otherwise it's drag and drop from the Media Browser.

  • How do I import an index into Indesign for epub and keep the links live?

    What is the best way to import a subject index (the indexer uses skyindex, and has an option to output index links to indesign para numbers), but he currently provides a word file for import into Indesign 5.5 with dead page numbers. We need to retain that for print publishing, but change the index numbers for epub, to links in both directions. Whats the best way to tackle this? I hope someone out there has done this!

    Page numbers do not exist in epub.
    Have a read through this:

  • How do I import iPhoto images from time machine

    Hi everyone!
    Before buying a new iMac I backed up my old iMac on time machine.  I used migration assistant but iPhoto doesn't seem to have come across.  My question is how do I import photos from my time machine (which is synced with my old iMac and not this new one) into this new iMac?
    I've attempted to open the library on the time machine with the alt key on opening iPhoto but it tells me that I can't do that!
    Many thanks in advance!
    Aleks

    you do not import form Time Machine - you use TM to "ReStore" files
    if you still have you old computer availab ethe best solution is to copy the iPhoto library over
    Migration assistance does not handle the iPhoto library well sometimes - the best way is to drag the bad iphoto library from the pictures folder on the new system to the desktop, connect the two systems together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old system to the pictures folder of the new system and launch iPhoto on the new system - it will open and convert the iPhoto library as necessary and you will be fine - once you test the iPhoto library you can delete the one on the desktop

  • How to Directly Import 5d2 video into Imovie?

    Is it possible to directly Import video into Imovie 09 from the 5d2 Camera?
    Im always downloading first the files into the computer (50 min process) and then into iMovie (60 min)?
    I want to be able to bypass this step and shave down time on my workflow.

    As far as I know, MPG is not on the iMovie support video format list. In addition, according to official website, the most compatible video format for iMovie to afford is AIC MOV. Have a try to encode MPG to AIC with a powerful program. Good luck!

  • 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

  • How can i import .pmd files into Indesign CC, which where created with pagemaker?

    Hello!
    i have a problem with a new Installation of indesign cc... i can*t import old .pmd Pagemaker files into it!!
    it was possible with Indesign cs6, but apparently no longer..!?
    ..is there an extension or anything else i could use?

    ..well, the fact that i can install an older Version of id is an releave...!but! the fact that i cannot open .pmd file in id cc is .. in my humble opinion
    a bad sign of things to come.. i mean sooner or later adobe will completely cancel the ability to download/use id cs6 ... and then what?... buy an old version of pagemaker
    or id 1..cs6?
    if anyone close to adobe has anything substantially to say.. please go ahead..!
    best regards Sanitest

  • 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 do I import RAW images into elements 9

    Just purchased a computer with windows 8 & a pentax K-3 camera & loaded elements 9 & I can't import the photos I shot in RAW? How do I do this?

    The K-3 is a relatively new camera and Adobe only updates whatever the current Elements is with new camera support.  For you that is Elements 12 updated to use ACR 8.3 or newer.
    So buy a new Elements or you can use the DNG Converter to convert a folder of PEF files to DNGs with Adobe software and they should open is your older PSE9 ACR plug-in, provided that you set the Compatibility level old enough in the DNGC to match whatever ACR version PSE9 has.

  • How do I import an image into apple mail signature?
