Image Resolution from Photoshop to Indesign

So, I have a logo that is 300 ppi in photoshop, but when I place the image in indesign it's effective ppi is much lower. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to have the logo on a separate layer in indesign?

Doc Maik,
I Think you're totally right!

  • Image size from photoshop to indesign

    For some reason if I make an image the exact size in Photoshop and bring it into indesign DPS it is always smaller.  Obviously I can resize it but i was curious why this is happening.  I set my file up to be 1024 x768 at 72 dpi and save as a JPEG.  When i drag that file into the frame in Indesign it is always small in the corner.  What am I doing wrong?

    You're doing nothing wrong.. try using the place option from the file menu rather than dragging your images and see if there is any difference.

  • Different Colors when printing from Photoshop and InDesign CS3

    Different Colors when printing from Photoshop and InDesign CS3
    I have the following problem:
    When printing from Photoshop or InDesign to a PostScript printer, Adobe recommends to let Photoshop handle the colors (I use the German version, so I don't know the exact term used, it changes slightly in all CS3 apps anyway).
    The manufacturer however told me to let the PostScript printer handle the colors.
    When I chose this option in Ps's print dialog and then choose ISO Coated as the printer pfofile, the results are fine.
    But when I place the exact same image in an InDesign file and print from InDesign or export to PDF and print via Acrobat, again using "Printer handles colors", the results are the exact same as if I had used Ps and chosen to let Ps handle the colors (way too saturated and a bit too red).
    ·Photoshop CS3
    ·InDesign CS3
    ·Test image is a TIFF in CMYK Fogra 27 Coated (which is also the working color space in Ps and ID.
    ·Printer: Xerox Docucolor 3535
    ·Printer profile: ISO Coated
    How can I make sure the printer handles the colors in other CS3 apps than Ps? I tried it with ID's print dialog (translated from the German version: Color Management > Options > Color Handling: PostScript-printer decides colors).
    Thanks a lot!

    RE: "You don't indicate what Xerox printers you have"
    In my first post I named it, is that the information you need?
    Docucolor 3535 using Splash 3535
    That's interesting, so I have to find a way to turn off the printer's Color Management function? I mailed them, hope they can tell me how to do it easily. They usually just tell me to not use any profiles and so on, but that's the general rule in this area, I'm really tired of hearing it. Everybody seems to think profiles and LAB mode are nuclear science and I should stay away from it.
    Anyway, the test image I'm using is a simple photograph (size A3, 300dpi), so no transparencies at all. I'm placing this image into an equally large ID file and print it from ID, then export it to PDF-X/3 and print it from Acrobat. Hope that helps.

  • Why does copying from Photoshop to InDesign turn Green?

    I've just installed photoshop and InDesign from Adobe Creative Suite premium onto my Apple Mac, all is running well but when I copy a photo from Photoshop to InDesign
    the picture turns green, is there something that Im missing or do I need to re-instal?
    I'm a wiz with Photoshop but never used InDesign before.
    Please Help.

    I dont have PSD under my save as sellection but I tried what you said and it's working with all of my pictures now so thankyou very much.
    Really appreciate your help and quick response.

  • Moving images from Photoshop to Indesign (CS4)

    Hi,
    I've designed a badge in Photoshop and want to add the graphic to my indesign project. But when I import the graphic it gets a white background by default when I want it to be transparent. I know there is a way but I've forgot!
    Thanks
    James

    What file format have you saved it as?
    PSD or TIF can have transparent backgrounds.
    When you save as TIF make sure you check the box for Preserve Transparency.
    If you have a white background in your image already, but have drawn a clipping path, then when you import the TIF file check the Show Options
    You'll see this when you go to File>Place (show options is in the bottom left hand corner of the dialog box).
    You should have the option to invoke the photoshop clipping path there.
    If you have already placed your image with a photoshop clipping path then you can use the Object>Clipping Path>Options and select the path from the drop down menu.

  • Image resolution for Photoshop EPS bitmaps

    Greeting all,
    I've posted about getting image resolution before and have a script we've been using with great success but I just learned from my operator that the script never returns the resolution for Photoshop EPS bitmap files.
    I'm using .Graphics(1)..ActualPpi(0) and most times works just fine except for the Photoshop EPS bitmap files. Photoship color EPS, gray EPS and a bitmap TIF saved from Photoshop works just fine. Everything except Photoshop EPS bitmap.
    I've tried using .EPSs(1).ActualPpi but that yields the same result.
    Is there somethnig I'm missing (again)?
    Many thanks,
    Ken

    Hi guys,
    I offer the following approach to solve the problem:
    var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
    var myAllGraphics = myDoc.allGraphics;
    var myGraphic = myAllGraphics[0];
    var myLink = myGraphic.itemLink;
    var myLinkXmp = myLink.linkXmp;
    var myCreator = myLink.linkXmp.creator;
    if (myCreator.indexOf("Adobe Illustrator") != -1) {
        alert("The first link was created in Illustrator");
    else if (myCreator.indexOf("Adobe Photoshop") != -1) {
        try {
            var myXres = myGraphic.actualPpi[0];
            var myYres = myGraphic.actualPpi[1];
        catch(err) {
            if (err == "Error: A value is not available for this type of image.") {
                var myXres = myLinkXmp.getProperty("http://ns.adobe.com/tiff/1.0/", "tiff:XResolution");
                var myYres = myLinkXmp.getProperty("http://ns.adobe.com/tiff/1.0/", "tiff:YResolution");
        alert("Resolution of the first link:\nX: " + eval(myXres) + " ppi\nY: " + eval(myYres) + " ppi");

  • Resolution from Photoshop to HDV?

    Hi,
    I'm editing a video with HDV material and I need to use some graphics from Photoshop (JPGs) into my project, I don't know in what resolution I have to save the JPGs; I know that 300dpi is for print and 72dpi is for computers and TV, but I don't know the number for HDV as it is higher quality... does anybody know?
    Cheers
    Javier

    Use 1920x1080 square pixels, if you want your JPGs to exactly fit a HDV frame. Make your images bigger (say 3500x1500 pixels) if you want to zoom into/move around them. "dpi" is irrelevant for video, SD or HD(V).
    ( BTW: I shall have to ignore your statement "300dpi is for print and 72dpi is for computers and TV" as that is always a dangerous (and wrong) thing to say.... )

  • Blurring of images imported from photoshop?

    I have latest version of iMovie and OS. When I import images from photoshop, I get blurring of the image and sometimes pixilation. I looks normal in the workspace viewer but when I play the timeline the image deteriorates.

    Thanks for looking at my problem. When I looked carefully at the new name (thanks dj for telling me to do that) I realized that the name had parts of what I had added as a preset and applied in External Editing. What appears to have happened is that my original preset was corrupted and dropped out the part that told it to use the original file name. I have repaired it and now all is well. Thanks for the responses and the help! Much appreciated.

  • Canon Pixma Pro-100 printer ejects 3.8 in of a 4X6 paper and prints only 2.2 in of the image printing from Photoshop CS6, I'm sure I set everything correctly - what could I be missing?

    Using Mac Pro running Snow Leopard (10.6.8) & editing & printing from Photoshop CS 6.
    Have new Canon Pixma Pro-100 printer and set it up yesterday.  First thing printed was a
    document from MS Word (a letter) 8.5 X 11 plain paper - this came out OK.  Next I fire up
    Photoshop and open a 4 X 6 inch image to do a test print.  I set it up in the print dialog as
    4X6 paper, Canon's Pro Glossy paper profile, rear tray, standard print quality, Photoshop
    manages the color.  I load the paper in the rear tray close the covers and hit print.  Now, when
    it starts to print the printer moves about 3.8 inches of paper out of the printer and starts printing
    on the remaining 2.2 inches then spits the paper out.  It does this in Photoshop (any image it doesn't
    matter), and it does it printing from Capture NX.  I have been able to get it to print on the paper
    correctly using Apple's Preview program but that that's not going to do me any good.  I was on
    the phone with Canon tech support for about 2 hours and they were completely puzzled suggesting
    I would have to use Canon's printing apps instead to print - that doesn't do me any good either.
    I want to be able to print from Photoshop.  Any one every heard of this or experienced the same
    problem? Thanks JamesD!

    Hello again. I recognize that a print is good if you like it and bad if you don't, despite what others might say, but I will at least share my experiences. They might help you or others who are following this thread.
    My monitor is calibrated with Spyder 3. Gamma 2.2, 6500K, 83 cd/m^2. Contrast at 50%; brightness about 52%. My monitor lets me choose blackness level - it defaults to 50%.
    When I print the test image I linked to above, using Lightroom, with no adjustments, my technical output is as follows:
    Middle step wedge shows twelve disticnt steps. Whitest step is color of unprinted paper.
    It varies from paper to paper, but I can discerne at least the 252 step and on some papers 253 - telling me I have good highlight detail.
    On the black side I discerne 8 or 10, nothing lower. (That sounds like what you are reporting).
    Artistically I am very happy how my print looks - nice red strawberries, good flesh tones, etc.
    One my monitor, the on-screen image is almost identical to the print. I am surprised that you can see the 2 wedge step on screen at a very similar brightness.
    I also checked out this B&W test image:
    http://www.northlight-images.co.uk/article_pages/bw_printing/bw-test-image-2.html
    You are probably aware of this since you are printing with Print Studio Pro, but others may not be.
    You can print a series of test images:
    find the one that best suits your taste, enter the calibration values in PSP, and save them as a custom setting. Then, each time you want to print recall the setting.
    You can do a similar thing in Lightroom using the printer driver and User Templates.
    There would be some one-time trial and error to that approach.

  • Strange difference in prints from Photoshop and InDesign

    Hello,
    Recently I upgraded to CS5 but at the same time upgraded my good old Power Mac G5 to a 27" iMac i7.
    I also traded my Epson 7600 for an Epson 9800. So obviously many things changed at the same time.
    Now I created a new profile for my printer paper and noticed the folowing strange thing:
    When printing from photoshop the prints are consistently way too dark.
    When printing from InDesign the same photo it is perfectly as it should be and looks on screen.
    Then I checked printing from Preview and again way too dark, same as in Photoshop
    I applied the same printerprofile to all printjobs
    During the profiling I also printed the testpage from the Datacolor Spyder 3 software, which was perfect
    printing the same testpage from Photoshop: way too dark.
    I don't have a clue to where things are going wrong.
    Is it a bug in Photoshop,but why then also in Preview?
    is it the way the printerdriver handles things? But then why not in InDesign?
    Anyone any ideas?
    Regards,
    Hans

    Have you gone into the "Print Settings" dialog and turned off color matching in the Epson portion of the settings?
    Are you running the most recent version of the driver? There is a combination updater to version 7.0 available as the first result at:

  • Copying text from Photoshop to InDesign

    Dear InDesign Community,
    I am working on updating a 60 page .pdf which was is extremelly blurry and unsearchable because each page was individually created in Photoshop (CS6) at size 8.5x11 and then put into a 6x7 sized document via Microsoft Publisher ( I weep as I write this sentene). I am currently rebuilding the file in InDesign and I was wondering if there was any way to copy and paste the formatted text from Photoshop cs6 to Indesign cs6 without losing the formatting. The end product is supposed to be a good quality pdf for web that is also a searchable document. Please advise.

    No, sort of. If you can live with the text EXACTLY as it is in
    Photoshop, kill all the layer except the text and save as PDF from
    Photoshop. Place the PDF in InDesign and it will retain its vector
    properties and formatting. You will not be able to edit anything.

  • Image resolution from 72 to 300 for print

    hello photoshopers.
    if i am to print a large banner or Billboard that will be 10meters by 5meters height.lets say i do my documents settings 10cm x 5cm 72dpi in order for the mac to work faster,could i later change the document settings to 300dpi or would my print come out pixelated?
    is it recomended to change the resolution from 72  to 300 at the end of a project?
    thank you.

    You have to do the Math in your scaling ratio.  What you have to do is achieve around 100ppi image resolution at 100% final size for grand format billboard output.  You could get away with 72ppi image resolution, so if your scale is 400% ( or file size @ 25% ); a 300ppi image res in the file will work.  Now, to answer your question...no.  Final resolution should be pre-determined at file construction / origination.  So, if you want 300dpi document resolution at 100%; the file resolution should be 1200dpi / 300ppi min.  Try to get in the habit of preparing your files this way.  You should know going in what your final resolution requirements are for each project.  It is faster to work at 72dpi, however, I'm not sure it is a good idea because Raster effects usually do not regenerate well sizing up to 300dpi later on.

  • JQuery Cycle Plugin possible with sliced image site from Photoshop? CS5

    Hi all, I'm in a real pickle here.
    I'm an architecture & interior design graduate.
    I know not a lot about web design.

    All I am asking is: Is this possible with what I have? As in a site just sliced and 'Save for Web & Devices' from Photoshop?
    Any help much appreciated, I really need this done.

  • I am getting errors upon use of JPG images, saved from Photoshop, in Encore.

    How do I use Photoshop JPG images in Encore without errors?
    When using camera jpg images, saved by Photoshop (either save, or image manipulation like autocolor then save, no other Photoshop options were tested), Encore will either :
    1) generate an image import error: "The software that's used to decode the media is not available on this system.  Installing the correct decoders for the files you are working with may help to correct the problem." and be unable to import the image,
    2) Image import stops before completion (Encore stops responding and must be Closed by Windows Task Manager), or
    3) with a number of images imported, upon attempts to create a Slideshow, Slideshow creation will stop while in progress, and Encore does not respond (Encore must be Closed by Windows Task Manager).
    Import and Slideshow creation using untouched camera images is nominal and uneventful.
    Import and Slideshow creation using PhotoShop(64bit) GIF (copy) images is nominal and uneventful.

    The common cause of this issue is still image files where the pixel size is too large. This warranted its own help page, which is now a dead link.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/encore/kb/error-software-used-decode-media.html
    But I assume the pixel size is the same whether you are processing them in Photoshop or not. but the main point is that the underlying problem is not about decoders. Encore encounters a problems dealing with the file and throws the only error it (apparently) has. So you are looking for anything like that: pixel size, changes between rgb and cmyk, extra metadata in files. Maybe even filename oddities (length, special characters).
    I would look in part at what versions you are using and compatibility settings.
    I would save them as png or psd.

  • Placing from Photoshop to InDesign is changing colors of object

    I can't find anywhere on the Internet, through about an hour of searching now why my vibrant sRGB objects I made in photoshop look so drab when I place them in an InDesign file.
    I don't know if it's being changed from RGB to CMYK...I've tried a few different options from suggestions I found online that sounded like it might be the solution...but am still left with dead looking images.
    This is an example of how it looks like in photoshop
    And then what it looks like when I place it into an InDesign Document
    So, I don't know what's going on or why the color has to be changed like this...but hopefully one of you gurus can tell me how to fix this!
    The problem I have is that I created a brochure entirely in photoshop and I really don't like how the text gets pixelated when blown up or how it can't be selected if need be...so I'm recreating the brochure in InDesign...but this whole color change issue is really perturbing me!
    Thanks in advance for the help!
    Oh...and if there is a link somewhere out there that says how to make InDesign brochures so that the graphics show up sharp without taking up a ton of memory so the pdf's can be emailed...that would be awesome!

    to reduce file size--try exporting as PDFX1a (preset)
    In this case, that's probably NOT a good plan. PDF/X-1a converts everything to CMYK and only downsamples images above 450 ppi and then only to 300 ppi. It's meant for press. For email I personally would start with the [High Quailty Print] preset, then use the PDF optimizer in Acrobat Pro to flatten the transparency and downsample the images, to 150 ppi to start, but you may need to go further, and to throw out most of the extraeoous document info your readers don't need (basically check every box except the one to unembed fonts). I think the flattening in Acrobat is better than flattening in ID during export and most of the rest is only available in the PDF optimzer. If you don't have Acrobat Pro, try the Smallest File Size preset in ID.
    Keep in mind that there is ALWAYS a tradeoff between file size and image quality. You are shooting for a middle ground.
