Photoshop exported jpeg/psd/pdf file choppy/overly sharp in inDesign CS 6

Hi everyone,
I am using inDesign CS 6 and when I placed my image (tried it in jpeg/psd/pdf version), my image becomes very sharp and the quality was significantly degraded. In the screenshot below, the file is opened in both Photoshop and inDesign CS 6. Left is Photoshop and right is inDesign. You can see how the quality becomes horrible.
What did i do wrong? i used "Place" in inDesign to import the image.
Thanks

In photoshop you are looking at the actual pixels, in ID you are looking at a lower-resolution screen preview. Do yo have the highest quality preview enabled? That will help. View > Display Performance > High Quality Display (the default is Typical, whchi is lower resolution). You can change this in the prefs to be the new default, or set it on an image-by-image basis.

  • Need help exporting multiple individual PDF files out of Indesign CC

    I work for a monthly publication and we send our files to the press at the end of the month. There are around 190+ pages that need to be exported as individual PDF's and each PDF needs to be labled as their correct page number. Since we often are backed up against the wall at our deadline, we really need a way to export all these files at one time. Is there a way to export multiple PDF files at one time in Indesign CC?

    You could script InDesign to export each page as individual PDF with specific export presets and labeled with correct page number.
    But you could also use Acrobat Pro for this task (sorry for the certainly wrong translation of the Acrobat UI – I use a german version ...):
    Export the whole publication as 1 PDF file (pp. 1-190).
    Open it in Acrobat Pro and choose »Tools › Extract Pages«.
    Type 1 to 190 and check the box »extract pages as single pages«, choose the location where to extract to and acrobat automatically numbers your new PDFs sequentially from 1 to x. (Caution: it doesn’t take the correct page number, but numbers sequentially, so it is important to have a PDF from pp. 1-190 in the correct order.)
    So with this (as mentioned – sorry for German ):
    You’ll get this:

  • Photoshop CC crashes when exporting image to PDF file

All my video drivers are up to date, as I have seen that recommended in several other places. I am running an 8.1 system 64-bit. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    What PDF preset are you using?  If high quality print, try flattening the image, and saving again. If that works, then it might point to something fonts.  Obviously a flattened JPG is entirely useless as a PDF file, so it needs fixing.
    When Chris Cox (Senior Adobe Computer Scientist — apparently several steps up from a rocket scientist) finds this thread, he is probably going to tel you that your truncated crash report doesn't tell him anything.

  • Indesign CS5 with PNG file exporting as a PDF file but the text is random bold

    Hello,
    I am looking for help to teach me how to solve this problem.
    I use Indesign CS5 to make a proposal. I set the page marker and sub title in the master page.
    Of course, there are including dozens of pages and some pictures here.
    And one of these page, I place a PNG file and type some text.
    When I export this file as a PDF file, one page, which is including PNG file, the text becomes random bold.
    Therefore, I have used PSD file to cover the PNG file. But finally getting the same problem.
    So does anyone can help me how to solve this problem?
    Thanks so much for your help.

    This sounds like a known issue with transparency on the page. When transparency is introduced ID uses a differnt method, apparently, of rendering text on that page and it appears bolder on screen and can print that way on low resolution devices like desktop printers. It usually is not a problem on press output.
    The only way to mainatian consistency would be to introduce transparency on all pages, perhaps by adding a transparent object to your master page.

  • Trouble opening jpeg and pdf files.

    I have a fully current version of Photoshop (ICloud).  When attempting to open some jpeg files and pdf files, they remain ghosted and will not open.  I think it may have to do with the settings in the 'open' window but i don't know what to do.  ?????

  • Quality loss exporting jpeg and PDF to jpeg

    Mac OS X Version 10.6.2/2.66 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon/Snow Leopard
    Creative Suite 3
    Trying to get an understanding on why the difference in quality when creating a JPEG from InDesign using 2 different methods.
    1st Method (best quality—Sharp & Crisp):
    InDesign/Export JPEG
    Export settings:
    Quality: Maximum
    Format Method: Baseline
    Resolution (ppi): 300
    Open in PhotoShop/ Save as JPEG
    2nd Method (looks washed out):
    InDesign/Export PDF [High Quality Print]
    Open PDF and Save As JPEG
    I used default settings except changed
    Conversion:
    Colorspace: RGB
    Resolution: 300 pixels
    Thank You to all responding!

    Just thought i might add that i have encountered this same problem and that if i want a high quality jpeg i save as pdf then, open and re-save as jpeg in photoshop.
    I never knew my jpeg's weren't top quality until a customer informed that my jpegs were not of as good quality as jpeg's received off other designers they use.
    Unfortunately i have no fix for you, but thought it may be of interest to know its not just you!

  • Bridge to PS CC 2014:  Error "Windows Cannot Find Photoshop CC" for PSD & TIFF files

    Since installing PS CC 2014, I have been unable to open PSD & TIFF files from within Bridge.  If I do- I get the error above.   Once Photoshop CC 2014 was installed, I removed the older version of PS CC. 
    Sounds like a registry issue created when PS CC 2014 installed alongside PS CC; confusing Bridge of where to send Photoshop files.

    Looks like bridge is still trying to run the old version.  Did you uninstall Photoshop CC after installing Photoshop CC 2014?
    Have you made sure and fully closed Bridge and reopened it?  Logging off and back on would ensure that.
    Failing the above, people have reported success with using the Creative Cloud Cleaner tool followed by a reinstall of Photoshop CC 2014...

  • Trouble opening Photoshop CS5.1 and pdf files

    Hi.  I have an early model of a Mac Pro I got about 6 years ago.  I have 4 harddrives, and I’ve installed OS X version 10.7.5 on one drive, and 10.6.8 on another drive.  I have Photoshop Elements 8 and 9 installed on the 10.7.5 harddrive.  They work fine. I also have Photoshop CS5.1 installed.  It worked fine for a few months, but now it will not open.  I tried re-installing from the disk – it re-installed, but it still will not open.  I also have it installed on the harddrive with version 10.6.8, and it works fine there.  Also, when I am using 10.7.5 I cannot download and read pdf files from the web; they work just fine when I am using 10.6.8.  Anyone out there have any suggestions for fixing this dilemma?   I sure would appreciate any help you can provide. Thanks.

    Hi Joe,
    Sorry for the trouble after the Yosemite update! First thing I would try would be to check the disk permissions with Disk Utility and run a repair, then see if it runs ok.
    Sometimes that can do the trick.
    If not, then Your next best bet would be to uninstall CS5.1, download, and reinstall it to the new computer/OS.
    The downloads are available here: Other downloads
    Give these suggestions a try and let us know how it goes,
