Image resizing in Indesign - should I or shouldn't I?
I would like to know what the best practice is when Placing an image into an Indesign document and then resizing it (obviously to a smaller size).
Would the results from a graphic/image resized in Indesign be much worse than an image resized in Photoshop before? or would they be the same? Might the results be fine if it is for screen and not if the output is for print?
Thank you all in advance.
If it is drastic size reduction I always use photoshop. Because you have more control. The ability to do sharpening after if needed. If is only 10% reduction I don't bother. Or if its going on newsprint. You need to use common sense as to know when to do something. If the finished product is a coffee table book I would make everything 100% in Photoshop before placing the file.

(CS3) Images resize in InDesign to Photoshop copying
Hi everyone, hopefully you can help me out. I'm running Adobe Photoshop and InDesign CS3 on my Mac, and it's been working fine before - even this morning. Basically, I have images in InDesign with exact dimensions that I'm copying to Photoshop to work something out. This never happened before and it always worked fine, but now when I copy from InDesign to Photoshop the image sizes have sometimes increased fourfold.
For example, if I copy a 166x93 px image from InDesign into Photoshop, it comes up at 692x388 - before, it would copy at the same 166x93 size. Does anyone know why this is happening? The reason I ask is because not only is it annoying and I want to fix it for future ease-of-use, but I am trying to get some images into a specific size, but increasing them to the size the canvas is creating makes them bad quality. I know you can resize them smaller, but (and it's hard to explain) this isn't going to work for what I'm trying to achieve.
Thanks a lot for reading.I would believe your last statement if I were working on a Mac. I don't give Windows machines that level of sophistication.
The only thing this HP is telling me is that it can't remember what I'm doing.
If something works once, it should work every time. If I copy something, it should be there when I paste it.
I'm not individually resizing my images, that's the whole point of the copy and paste thing that I'm doing.
I'm also not simply releasing the files to prepress.
I take the images which are assembled roughly into Indesign layouts by our designers as oversized high resolution package shots.
I copy them out, paste them into Photoshop and then layer and drop shadow them before placing them back into Indesign as flattened EPS files at 100%.
Seems like a RAM/hardware issue to me. Was just wondering if maybe someone else had run into this and come up with a solution.
Coming in here and having people tell me that copying and pasting is abnormal seems a bit odd and has me wondering what I could do differently.
Writing the Indesign file to a PDF is not a solution to my problem.
I'm aware that I can save the Indesign pages out as an EPS or PDF or simply edit the original file, but as I said before, that adds many steps to the process.
Anyway, thanks for your help Marian. I guess I'll dig around the forums some more. -
Why won't Photoshop revert to earlier history state after image resize when scripted?
I've written an Applescript to automate watermarking and resizing images for my company. Everything generally works fine — the script saves the initial history state to a variable, resizes the image, adds the appropriate watermark, saves off a jpeg, then reverts to the initial history state for another resize and watermark loop.
The problem is when I try not to use a watermark and only resize by setting the variable `wmColor` to `"None"` or `"None for all"`. It seems that after resizing and saving off a jpeg, Photoshop doesn't like it when I try to revert to the initial history state. This is super annoying, since clearly a resize should count as a history step, and I don't want to rewrite the script to implement multiple open/close operations on the original file. Does anyone know what might be going on? This is the line that's generating the problem (it's in both the doBig and doSmall methods, and throws an error every time I ask it just to do an image resize and change current history state):

But I’d like to point to »the lazy person’s out« – with many operations that result in creating a new file on disk I simply duplicate the image (and flatten in the same step) to minimize any chance of damaging the original file if the Script should not perform as expected. -
Problem Putting Images on my InDesign File
Hi, I'm totally new to Adobe software, but I'm in the process of designing a product catalog for my company using InDesign.
So far i've been able to to stumble through the program myself, despite the learning curve. I do have one question that I think should be simple: Whenever I put an image into my InDesign document, the DPI of the image takes a really bad hit. It's the same size and everything, so why does the resolution get so messed up? How to I persist the resolution of the images?
Thanks!By default, InDesign uses a lower resolution screen preview in your layout, so it may appear as if the image has lost resolution when in fact nothing has changed at all. View > Display Performance > High Quality Display to get the full-res preview.
That said, the preview has very little to do with the effective image resolution, that is the actual resolution of the image at the size it was saved divided by the scaling factor used when you placed it. If the image is doubled in size, the effective resolution is half the actual resolution. You'll see those numbers in teh Info Panel, and the only one you care about is effective resolution. -
Optimizing Images directly in Indesign??
Is there an option to optimizing your linked images directly in Indesign? I'm looking to select an image and have Indesign take its layout scale and apply that to the image file optimizing the linked image to constrain it's proportions to that which it is sized on the page in the layout in Indesign. I know that I'm able to have the option to edit original file and then do this sizing in Photoshop. But with hundreds of photos that have a multitude of different layouts and scales in contrast to their original files and to one another there must be a way to quickly have Indesign recognize the image's scaled size in the layout and optimize the original file to be that in proportion with its scaled size within layout, right??
When you output the file to PDF you can use the Compression Settings to automatically reduce the Resolution of the image to the size - basically it optimises the image size and resolution while making the PDF.
When you resize an image to fit a particular resolution and size in Photoshop - InDesign uses the exact same method.
The only problem with this is that when resample an image you usually need to Sharpen the image a small bit - or sometimes not at all - it's purely down to the sort of image it is - if it's a soft image then you probably wouldn't need to sharpen it, if it's a hard image with lots of detail and edge contrats then you probably would need to Sharpen the image when you resample it to a different size and resolution.
In about 10 years - I generally don't resample an image in Photoshop for output - I set the Compression settings in InDesign and let InDesign do the work - for the type of images I usually use I would never need to sharpen them as the difference is neglibile for the audience reading the material.
Howver, there are times like in Art catalogues or very high-end printing I would need to sharpen the images - and that's the only time I generally resample Images in photoshop.
There are some plugins that will do go through all the images and resample (not sure if it gives the option to add a sharpening filter?) but there are some out there - this one springs to mind
http://zevrix.com/linkoptimizer.php
But I don't think for the general public it's very important to add the sharpening filter - perhaps architecture, art, fine magazines etc where quality is an absolute must - then yes. -
Permissions issue with image resize
Ok I'm hoping someone may be able to help with this because it is really frustrating.
I realise this issue has already been posted in these forums however there was no solution offered that has rectified it for me. I am getting an error when trying to display thumbnails "Error converting image (create thumbnail). The "" folder has no write permissions". And this error when trying to upload and resize images "Image upload error. Error resizing image: Error converting image (image resize). The "" folder has no write permissions. (IMG_RESIZE)". All folders on server have full read, write and execute permissions, so I am really confused why this happenning. I have removed and updated the includes folder on the server with no joy. I altered the tNG_custom.class.php, tNG_insert.class.php, tNG_update.class.php files to remove the tNG_fields line to just tNG as this was throwing errors with PHP5.3. I also changed everything else per http://forums.adobe.com/message/2357443#2357443.

Is it the preg_split() that is causing the issues here??
Any Ideas?Hello BoarderLineLtd
I have noticed that on some servers when you upload the first image to the images folder using the ADDT image upload function the thumbnail directory that gets written to the images directory is written but the permissions are not set.
If you use an FTP program such as CuteFTP or WSFTP to login to your web site you can manually set the permissions for the thumbnail directory.
This should eliminate the permissions error.

Photshop CS6 image resizing tool.
Five time I have entered a support question but it does not seem to appear in the lists nor have I had a response, am I entering my request incorrectly?
My request is:
I have a PC using Windows 7. I have Photoshop CS6 which I have been using for some time. Very recently the image, image size tool has stopped working. I open the drop down window and the current size of my image is displayed. I then try and type the required changed size in the box but the box does not accept it. The size remains the same. I have un-installed and re-installed CS6 and put in all the latest updates. The first image I tried, it allowed me to change the size. The second image the resize tool would not allow any changes. We were back to where we started. Elsewhere on the support FAQs it was suggested such problems might be cured by deleting \adobe photo cs6 prefs.psp file. This I have done but still I cannot resize my images.
Please can someone help me??If Photoshop has been working well for you then start acting strange the first thing that should come to you mind is your Photoshop preferences. Your Photoshop preferences are Photoshop setting made for your user ID for how you want Photoshop to behave. Each user ID has there own set of Preference files. These are not installed or removed when you Install or uninstall Photoshop. So if you un-install and re-install Photoshop your Photoshop preferences remain intact. If the Problem you are having is caused by a corrupt Photoshop preference file. You will still have that same problem. Did you try resetting your Photoshop preferences?
Though the Image size dialog is simple many users do not really understand everything about image resizing. Using a quick look at the image we see three section Top, Middle and bottom..
Top section is basicly image file size how many pixels are there in the image.
Middle Image Print Size.
Bottom Image Resize Image Controls.
To understand Image Resize you must start from the bottom. In the bottom control section Resample Image is the single control that governs the whole resizing process. When "Resample Image" is NOT checked all other controls have no roll in the resize process they are grayed out as is the top file size section. The file size will not change the pixel will not change. Note all that is grayed out in the above image. All that can be change is the print size. The middle section and all three sizes there are tied together as shown by the lines and link icon. Change one size there and Photoshop will calculate the other two and display the proper values. All thee setting in the center are sizes associated with length. Width number uints, Height number uints. and Resolution number Pixel/unit. Resolution therefore is pixels size and pixels have an aspect ratio. Most image pixel these days are square 1:1 aspect ratio. Photoshop support non square pixels but can only display image using square pixels display have.
So when Resample is not checked. The image has a Width with a fixed number Pixel, a Height with a fixed number Pixels and Pixel aspect ratio. Setting any one print dimension will also set the other two dimensions.
When resample is check the other controls in the bottom section become useable and so does the top file section. Normally you should check Constraint Proportions link Width and Height so your image will not distort during the resize. When you resample an image you wind up with an entirely new image with a different number of pixels. Some image quality has been lost for you either through way some details you had or created some details you did not have. The image quality will depend on the quality of the pixels you had and how well the interpolation method used worker with those pixels. IMO Adobe Bicubic Automatic is not a good general purpose method to it tend to add many artifacts to image that have been sharpened.
In newer version of Photoshop CC and CC 2014 Adobe has redesigned the Image Size dialog adding a preview image display. Made the dimension link icon the constrain proportion control when resample is checked. Also hid the scale style option under a gear icon in the upper right corner. -
Images When Converting InDesign CS5.5 using Kindle plugin
Hi,
I've been reading, looking for a solution to an image conversion problem. If I create and place an image in Illustrator (for example combining a car drawing and the sun-2 items in one drawing), then export an ePub, convert for Kindle to mobi using the Kindle plugin or Calibre, I am getting the second item (in this case the sun) below the car instead of where it should be. I've tried every conceiveable variation: re-did the image in Fireworks as a PNG, re-saved into jpeg, used the AI image directly, etc. I've unzipped the ePub, but can see no way to fix the car-sun problem.
original as placed in InDesign project converted version
Any help with this image problem much appreciated. (Wish: CS6 InDesign exports for mobi).
Regards,Hi,
I didn't combine in the above image in InDesign. The car was a PNG to which I added a star drawing: probably tried it in Fireworks and Illustrator. But, not using InDesign (no star shape tool for the sun).
(However, I originally did combine the 2 separate images (car and sun) in my first attempt in InDesign, which produced the same result. When it converted poorly, I then deleted the 2 images from InDesign and placed a single combined image-probably imported the car PNG into Illustrator/Fireworks and drew the sun, then exported the combined and placed. The combined, see above, still converts with the same problematic result. Is it possible that although the initial 2 images were deleted in InDesign and replaced, and a re-export was done of the newly saved file, somehow InDesign is caching these 2 images?)
The InDesign PDF export's image, like in the ePub, is fine.
Puzzling result for the conversion. -
Why are images displayed in Photoshop different than the same images displayed in Indesign?
My images imported to Indesign do NOT display as the images in Photoshop.
They seem to display under different color profiles.
The images in Indesign are more desaturated than the images in Photoshop.
This is a problem because now I don't know which image appearance to trust!
How can you get the Indesign images to look like the images in Photoshop?
I use Photoshop CS4 and Indesign CS3.
I import the images from Photoshop to Indesign for exporting to a PDF as the base for Blurb printing (www.blurb.com).
I use the CMYK profile Blurb_ICC_profile.icc:
The images in PS4 are converted to Blurb_ICC_Profile (CMYK).
Both in PS4 and ID3 the color settings are
Working spaces:
CMYK: Blurb_ICC_profile
Color management Policies:
CMYK: Preserve Embedded Profiles.
The images are imported into Indesign by drag and drop from Bridge CS4. In Bridge it says that the images have color profile CMYK, Blurb_ICC_profile.
I also do get "Unsynchronized: Your Creative Suite Applications are not synchronized for consistent color." And I don't seem to be able synchronize between CS3 and CS4, or whatever. I do NOT depend on any synchronization.
The settings above should be enough to show the images consistently in Photoshop and Indesign.
SO WHY DOES IT NOT?
Should not Adobes own applications be able to keep color consistency?Hi WA Veghe,
>First: DO synchronize, makes sure you have the same profile settings and color mange settings.
I don't seem to be able to synchronize between CS4 (Photoshop) and CS3 (Indesign).
It seems I have to do without synchronizing..
>I do not seem to find HOW you are diplaying images on you screen: with Soft proofing?
What happens if you soft proof in Photoshop and InDesign on screen: View > Proof colors. Do you proof with the same profiles, both simulate paper and black on?
I can simulate Proof Colors (working CMYK), but not simulate Paper, both in Indesign and Photoshop.
Problem is: SAME settings in Photoshop and Indesign BUT the image displayed in Photoshop is brighter and more saturated.
So which image should I correct after?
thanks for all help

PSE5 Process Multiple Files Image Resize
I want to batch convert some TIFF files to JPG and make them all 300 ppi. I tried suing the Multiple file processor in the Editor just entering 300 in resolution and leaving width & height blank. I hoped it would perform the same process as going to image resize and and changing resolution with resample and constrain proportions turned off. Instead it has changed the ppi from 72 to 300, but kept the size the same i.e. has added lots of extra pixels making the file enormous.
The only way I can force it to shrink the image is to enter say 30cm as the width. The problem with this is twofold a) I have to trun all my photos so they are landscape b) if I have cropped a photo such that it doesn't have enough pixels to stretch then again it is getting resampled.
Is this a limitation of PSE5 that wouldn't be there in CS3 or am I doing something wrong? I only want to print tham out 15x10 but read I should resize everything to 300 ppi. To be honest I never did this before I had PSE and they seemed to come out OK from a Canon that saves the files as default 72 ppi but large dimensions. Maybe someone couldexplain in laymans terms why the photos need to be resized to 300 ppi anyway? Thank youWell, you see, Process Multiple files is doing just what you asked it to do: it's
resizing the photos. But you don't really want to resize the photos, just change the ppi setting. Is there a particular reason you want them to be 300ppi? PPI is a setting that only matters for printing or if you are sending a photo somewhere that requires that marker to be set to 300. Your camera doesn't know anything about ppi, only absolute pixel dimensions (eg 2480 x 1795 or whatever).
When you go to print, however, your printer may prefer to have a higher pixel density, since it can play your pixels like an accordian: squash them closer together or spread them out thinner, depending on that ppi marker. The pixel density determines the inch/cm size of your print (at 72 ppi you'll get a print that's hugely bigger but less detailed; at 300 ppi a crisper smaller print.)
I'm wondering why you would want to batch convert a whole big bunch of images at once, though. It would help if you would explain just what you want to do with the photos that requires the 300 ppi. -
Slideshow image resizing when adding new images
I am creating a series of slideshows on multiple pages. I created one slide show using the "basic" slideshow and resized it to the dimensions and settings I wanted. I have many pictures all of different proportion, therefore, I selected the "fill frame proportionally" so they would all fit the dimension I set. I wanted to use this first slideshow as a template for all of the rest. I added images to this first slideshow with no problems. All of my different sized images scaled or cropped to fit within the dimension I set. The problem comes in when I do two things: 1) When I add other images of different dimensions to this same slideshow gallery, they come smaller that the intended dimensions I set previous. I check the setting and it is still on "fill frame proportionally" similar to the first batch of pictures. 2) The second issue is when copy this slideshow as a template to other pages. When I try to replace or add to the slideshow gallery, the images come in cropped or smaller rather than filling the frame. Again, the settings are still the same from my very first slideshow that worked just as i intended.
I could resize all the images to all the same dimensions using another program like photoshop, but that is another step that is very tedious and it would seem that it should be something built into Muse.
Is there a way around this?. Am I doing something wrong? Or is this just one of those glitches that happens with Muse? I appreciate any help that I can get.
Thanks!Hi, I got it to work like this:
Using background colours in Photoshop so that all sizes are the same in pixels. Then manually adjusting thumbnails by double-clicking on them so that a red square appears.
Cheers,
Elsemiek

Hi there Elsemiekagain,
I had to fiddle around with my slide show to get it to work. That is, it worked at first, then went funky, and I had to fiddle. So much fiddling that I can't possibly know what actually made it start to work again.
And to some degree, this is the way that I find Muse to be in general. That it requires finessing to get it to work as expected. This adds a good deal of time to every development project, though I am getting better at this with practice and experience.
Most of it is not even things that could be easily put in words as instructions, as many are nanced. But in fairness, this version of Muse is a complete code re-write this year. So we do need to cut Adobe some slack, and give the team time to iron things out.

PSE-6.....Image Resizing vs. Cropping
I'm confused as to whether I should use the image resizing tool or the cropping tool. (my situation explained below) Can someone explain the difference and what I should do? But please note that I am TOTALLY new to photography and photoshop, and so I really need someone to explain it to me keeping in mind that I'm photography ignorant/illiterate.
SITUATION: I'm taking pictures of my handmade jewelry. I plan on doing several different things with the photos--printing, posting online, and emailing.
From what I've read, these 3 actions require different sizes and resolutions (?).....But I've been told that printing requires 600 dpi (or ppi, right?)...........that posting online requires 72 ppi......that with emailing photo dimensions will be specified by the email recipient. Upon uploading my pics began at 180 ppi and the actual size on the computer screen is GIGANTIC (I assigned my camera the max 12 megapixels / 4000x3000-whatever that means). So starting at 180 ppi how can I increase/decrease the ppi and which do I use (image resizing or cropping) for printing, posting online and emailing?
Also, does changing the ppi (or dpi, right?) affect the size of the pic? In other words, just how much related is ppi and size? example---can I have one picture that's 5x7 and another pictures that 8x10 but they have the same ppi? And vice-verse? As you can see I'm totally confused on this subject.
Thank you to whomever responds.......I REALLY appreciate it.....Thanks Joe. You are so helpful. This stuff can be confusing to learn. For example - below is a chart from an article I read about jewelry photography. Notice next to "Resolution" the folders are referred to in "DPI"? Did the author mean to say ppi?.....because my PSE-6 does not have any functions that allow DPI changes.....just ppi.....

LR3-Library-Export-Image Resizing: Specifying Pixel WxH results in different WxH - tips please?
This is a multi-dimensional question (he he). I understand my problem is related to the original/developed WxH ratio. If the pixel WxH I spec in Export-Image Resizing doesn't match that developed proportion, the results are not what I want. In other words LR3 keeps the original/developed proportion and not what I want for that export. Ok, so I just answered my own question - but..... please give me some library or export tips for doing what I want to do.
What I do:
1 - I edit my images in RAW and like to keep them in their original proportions from my Canon camera as that is the proportion of HxW i use the most
2 - Later, if the image is really good (at least I like it), I may export it for different purposes and then may choose or require a different proportion.
3 - I would really like to not have to re-crop in Develop, then go back and Export, then go back to Develop and change it back to original.
Besides being tedious and time consuming, can anyone recommend a better way for me to do these "one off" exports (seems to happen more often lately) without screwing around in Develop and messing up my original work?
Background:
One of the reasons I do this is to create wallpapers for computers, for various printing/framing proportions, and then for web site situations. Windows XP (and I think the others) gets really slow if the program must re-size an image for wallpaper (why? go ask Mr. Gates... better get in line). So to keep performance high, it is best to create the image in the exact pixel dimensions of the monitor. This is always some weird number and not like anything else I do this for. The other reason is for a quick, custom print job for someone who wants an odd matting setup for framing (don't ask). This results in odd proportions. Regarding the web.... well smooshing a pic into a column etc. etc... Now while I am proud of my art and understand LR3 will expect me to re-crop to preserve my artistic brilliance, but really..... I would be happy with a proportional crop from the parallel sides of the offending dimension.
Also, when I spec a dimension, shouldn't the DPI gray out? What am not understanding here?
One last request: please give me tips on solving for world peace... this one really bugs me.
Thanx in advance!Bruce,
As you correctly noticed, the WxH ratio in export represents a canvas, into which the exported image is fit. Here are some illustrations on what the different settings mean:
For what you are trying to achieve, you have to crop the image to the correct dimensions before doing the export. If I had to do it, I would create virtual copies of the original image as the last step and give each virtual copy its own crop, then export the virtual copies.

The DPI resolution has no meaning for the size of the resulting image if you specify pixels in your export dimensions. But the resolution tag is written into the image, which might affect the way an image is printed, depending on the printing application.
But if you specify your export dimensions in inches or cm, the resolution together with the dimensions in inch/cm determine the size of the resulting image in pixels. I.e. if you specify 5x7" and 300DPI, your exported images size will be 1500x2100 pixels.

Images resized and exif stripped when emailed ?
Does any know why the iPhone resizes images (to 640x480) and strips out EXIF data when you email a photo. However, if you download the photos you get the full size and EXIF data ?
As i often like to email photos direct to Flickr from my iphone it is very annoying to end up with a poorer image than what i should have.Hello All,
Great news for the Apple iPhone.
Just downloaded 2.1 software update, and the Geotagging correctly geotags the southern hemisphere, now adds a GPS Time-Stamp as well as the GPS longitude & latitude info to the EXIF.
AND, when you e-mail it or transmit the image to a secure server, mobleme, Flickr . . . ALLL OF THE EXIF DATA STAYS INTACT, INCLUDING THE GPS METATAGS . . .
AND THE SIZE OF THE IMAGE HAS BEEN REDUCED FROM 1200 X 1600 TO 600 X 800 . . . -

Hej,
Im new to flash. Id like to create image resizing feature.
After user clicking or pointing on it the image should become

Can anyone help?Any tip, tutorial, actionscript?

NinaHi,
Do other users still work well?
Locate to Services, find Print Spooler service and check if its startup type is set as Automatic.
Have you cleared and reset your print spooler?
Open Services, and stop the Print Spooler service.
Navigate to the folder below, and open the PRINTERS.
C:\Windows\system32\spool\PRINTERS
Delete all files in the PRINTERS folder until it is empty,
Re-start the Print Spooler service
