When placing an image in InDesign how do I make sure it's not too pix-elated?

Do I change its pixel count in Photoshop? I'm creating a brochure in InDesign and It looks blurry when I place it as my background.

You should also consider the size of the image (pixels) relative to its print size.
e.g.
desired print resolution: 300dpi
desired image print dimension: 8.5" wide
necessary pixel width: 8.5" x 300dpi = 2550px
For a 'background' image, you may be satisfied with 150-200dpi, so the 8.5"-wide image could be as small as 1275-1700px wide.

  • I want to delete my icloud-account from my iphone 5 and then register again, because I want to change my email-address/account name. What would be the steps to follow? How do I make sure I do not lose any information stored on/in my iphone 5?

    I want to delete my icloud-account from my iphone 5 and then register again, because I want to change my email-address/account name. What would be the steps to follow? How do I make sure I do not lose any information stored on/in my iphone 5?

    You would have to delete the existing iCloud account and create a wholly new one - you cannot change the @icloud.com email address of the one you already have.  To make a new one, you will also need an new AppleID as any AppleID can only have one iCloud account associated with it.
    Deleting the account will not delete anything off your device (if prompted for things like contacts, choose to keep them).  You will have to sync everything anew with the new account as you cannot move your sync'd content, your old backups or anything else from one iCloud account to another.  You will have to set up sync again and let it sync to the new account, and then make new backups to the new account as well.

  • When placing an image in InDesign, it appears pixelated.  It is a 66mb file in a 6x9" document.

    I am new to InDesign, as I've been creating all my documents for print in Acrobat as a PDF.  When I am placing an image, it appears pixelated.

    Hi,
    This is an expected behavior, when you place an image in InDesign then it display the preview of the image however you this has no impact on the output unless the image placed is of low-resolution itself.
    In order to have good resolution of images, you may switch to View > Display Performance > High Quality.
    Thanks,

  • I am trying to download the latest version of Adobe and when I go to the Downloads place on my PC, it's not there. How can I make sure Firefox is not blocking

    I know I have the latest version of the browser (because it told me so). When I hit the Download now button for the Adobe and indicate that I want to save it, it seems to take, but when I go to the Downloads on my Computer, it isn't there. I don't know where else to look or what else to check. I think I have successfully done this in the past, but it's been a while.

    Do you have the "Green Arrow" icon on one of your toolbars? That usually will list your most recent downloads with a button to open the folder where they are saved.
    If you don't have that, you can open the full download list using either:
    * Ctrl+j
    * Tools > Downloads
    * History > Show All History, then click Downloads in the left column
    Can you find the download listed there and click the "Open Containing Folder" button?
    Are you downloading Flash or Acrobat/Reader?
    For Flash try: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    For Acrobat/Reader, you may not need an update.
    Firefox's plugin check site only recognizes the Adobe XI (11) series as current, but if you have checked for updates in your Adobe Reader X or Adobe Acrobat X product (Help > Check for Updates) then you do not need to update the plugin. For this older Reader/Acrobat version, please rely on Adobe for information on available updates and not the plugin check site.

  • Ques: when I synch GB to Itunes, how can I make sure each song's volume...

    My wife and I perform live. To make a fuller sound, I recorded a number of bass-and-drum-track songs that I can run off the Ipod into our PA system to play while we're performing. Each song sounds great, but I have a question: I've got the 'songs' in order on the Ipod, but I don't want their volumes to play differently from each other, you know, so I won't have to constantly monitor the Ipod output volume.
    Thus, before I synch the GarageBand songs with the Ipod, is there a pretty foolproof way to ensure that each song is the same volume as the others? I'd sure appreciate any help on this...thanks.

    Volume (or rather loudness) is a subjective measure. You can check the box in GB's prefs that makes sure all the songs are normalized - but then they all tend to be less loud. The best way is to make sure you have a good level in GB and use some mastering techniques like compression to max out the subjective loudness.

  • HT4061 My Ipad was part of my tuition. My school "IIN" loaded all my audio and video classes on it. I diseabled it by entering the wrong passcode it says connect to Itune. How do I make sure I do not lose my classe recording by doing so? please help. Than

    Hello, I am and IIN Intitute of Integrative Nutrition in New York student. My iPAD 2 is part of my school material and was uploaded with all Videos and Audio classes for the whole program. I recently typed in my passwork incorrectly and disabled my iPad it is giving me the message " connect to i-tunes". I am afraid to loose my lectures. Could anyone help me with some information please? Thank you very much. Wouga22

    If you do not have a backup you are going to lose everything on your iPad and even if you do have one, you may still be out of luck.
    You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
    Read this very carefully before you proceed. Sometimes iTunes will allow you to restore the iPad without having to use recovery mode, but if you need to use recovery mode and don't have a backup, that is where you may have a problem.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    If you need recovery mode ....
    Recovery Mode Instructions
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
    If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
    Use iTunes to restore iPad.

  • Placing an image in Indesign CS5- Previews are slow

    I have a customer with identical intel MacPros, 10.5.8 OSX, 8GB RAM and running CS5.
    Whenever they go to PLACE an image in either InDesign or Illustrator the preview window that comes up takes up to 65 seconds for a preview to appear in the window. These are images(TIFFs or EPS) that are over 200MB.
    What I've done so far:
    Timed image preview when placing an image from server or off of desktop- No speed difference in showing the preview.
    Took my MacBook Pro and tried to place the images- Immediate preview, no matter the size of the image. Desktop and over the network.
    Started their MacPros up in target disk mode- Launched InDesign from their computer- No problem.
    Started my MacBook Pro in target disk mode- Launched InDesign from my computer- Same speed issues with preview appearing when placing an image.
    Replaced their current video cards with accelerated high end graphic cards. - No performance increase. When previewing a placed image, still very slow.
    None of my other customers have this issue. Any clues????

    There have been sporadic reports that changing the preference for live screen drawing to delayed from immediate has helped other issues such as this.
    Try that first and let us know if it corrects the problem.

  • Hierarchical menu access when placing an image

    How can I get Illustrator to go back to accessing an image folder that is in one of my client project folders when placing an image instead of taking me back to the  main level of my hard drive every time. It used to do this but quit doing so.
    For example, my hard drive is set up as Hard drive/Clients/Client Name/12_100 Project _A/x_Linked Images. When working in illustrator, I have set up a keyboard shortcut of Command/e to place an image. The first time I place an image I have to navigate to the project x_linked images folder for the first time. Everytime I need to place a new image, Illustrator used to take me right back to that same x_Lnked Images folder. Now it takes me back to the main level of my hard drive and I hve to click through all of the folders again to get there. Does that make sense? It's slowing me down when I'm working.
    Thanks, Bruce

    I'd get Default Folder X from insidersoftware.com if you want to solve this issue. It's mostly a Mac OS issue and pops up depending on what bugs Apple introduces into whatever version they release. Some OS versions go back to the proper folder, other's don't. With Default Folder.. they always do (among other things)

  • When I am trying to package my artwork in Adobe Illustrator CC, it is not capturing my images and fonts. How do I make sure my linked photos and fonts are captured?

    When I am trying to package my artwork in Adobe Illustrator CC, it is not capturing my images and fonts. How do I make sure my linked photos and fonts are captured?

    Not all fonts can be packaged depending on their licensing. Some fonts are set to not allow packaging. For those you would have to manually locate them on your computer and add them to the folder where the packaging occurred.
    For the images have you checked the "copy links" option?

  • When placing a png in indesign the png changes/loses its orginal color.

    When placing a png in indesign the png changes/loses its original color. Ex. the very clear blue that I am using turns dark and "dirty". ( my RGB is : 5,125, 255  -  when I type this I get a " out of gamut warning" a little yellow icon. When I click on it indesign automatically changes the RGB into: 67, 117, 187)
    I have worked with indesign for 6 years and never experienced this before. I am guessing it has something to due with that the png is in RGB and indesign in cmyk, but I have no idea what to do about it?

    Out of Gamut means the color cannot be printed in your current workspaces using CMYK inks. You would see a preview of the converted color if you move into Overprint Preview, use Proof Colors, or there is transparency and the blend space is set to CMYK.
    If this is destined for screen use, then the color doesn't matter, but you should be sure the blend space is set to RGB.

  • How do I delete photos from my daughter's ipod that showed up on there when she got music from her aunt's itunes? Also how do I make sure none of my iphone pics show up on her ipod in the future (we use the same itunes account and I think same icloud).

    I'm totally new to iphone/ipod.  I need help with the following:
    1) How do I get rid of a folder of photos that showed up on my daughter's ipod touch when she received some songs from her aunt's itunes?  After she got some songs from that itunes a folder of pictures showed up with no delete option.  Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?
    2) Also, my daughter uses same itunes as myself, how do I make sure any pics I have on my iphone & icloud (itunes) don't show up on her ipod? I shut off my photostream so perhaps this is the solution.  But I noticed that a message I sent from her ipod to my sister (an iphone user) later showed up on my iphone (as if I had sent it from my iphone)! That was really odd. I'd like to keep our itunes account together simply so I can monitor her downloads, etc so I don't want to open up her own itunes to avoid automatic syncing.
    I only want to share music between our devices.  I don't want her pics nor my pics to go to icloud/itunes.
    Thank you!

    1) You asked "Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?" Yes, you have to connect the iPod to that computer and go to the Photos pane for the iPod in iTunes and uncheck sync photos and the click on synce/apply. In the future do not check sync photos.

    2)
    Create a NEW account for using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.

    - Settings>iCloud and sign out and sign in with hers

  • How do I make sure my music will play when I burn a copy of a slide show?

    How do I make sure my music will be included when I burn a copy of a slide show.  I have made many many slide shows over the years with the music in perfect sync to the slides.  I recently updated my iMac to OS 7.  I did not want to do it because I heard it created issues with iPhoto. But because I had updated my iPhone and my iPad, and although I don't like OS 7 (the first time  I have not liked an upgrade)  I thought I could figure out how to solve problems/ differences.  Well, this has me stumped.  It plays perfectly on my iMac, but when I burned a copy to share with friends, the music did not burn or transfer.  Does anyone have any ideas why this does not work, and what I have to do to ensure that the music I selected and added to the slide show using the settings did not burn along with the iPhoto slide show?
    Mairzy

      I recently updated my iMac to OS 7
    What is really your MacOS X version? iOS 7 is the operating system for iPhone, iPad, iPod.
    But what versions are you using on your iMac? Have you upgraded to Mavericks, MacOS X 10.9.x and iPhoto 9.5.1, or are you using an earlier version?
    It plays perfectly on my iMac, but when I burned a copy to share with friends, the music did not burn or transfer.
    How did you export the slideshow and burn the DVD?
    To have the music play along with the slideshow, you need to export your Slideshow project as a video file - use the "Export" button below the Slideshow window and select a format.
    Check, if the exported video does play well and the audio is present.
    Then burn a video DVD using iDVD or Toast, or a similar program to burn video DVDs,  see:
