Why is my banner size different in indesign?

I´m doing a banner 728x90pixel in indesign and did the same measurement in Photoshop and the size of the banner is smaller in photoshop compared to indesign, why? Have I done something wrong?

No.
What version of InDesign are you using? 100% display changed in CS6, but the underlying differnce in what you see is Photoshop actually measures in pixels and can give you a 1:1 display correspondence between image and screen pixels. InDesign, on the other hand, is really a print layout tool that is being "expanded" for use in on-screen design. The internal measuring system is points, and ID actually doesn't have a clue what a pixel is. Instead, it pretends that all pixel-based layouts are at 72 ppi (there are 72 points per inch in modern layout systems) and you are calling points pixels.
Prior to CS6 the 100% view was pretty meaningless since there are no monitors that actually have a native resolution of 72 ppi these days and it could be quite divergent from reality if compared to a physical ruler. CS6 has new code for alternate layouts that allows you to see on your screen what your layout is going to look like in various mobil devices, and part of that code also queries your system to determine the pixel density of the display, and in theory this means that your 100% view should now match a physical ruler. It seems to work pretty well on at least some Macs, but not on Windows 7, though it may do better on XP.

Why is my PDF size from my InDesign export still large?

I'm doing class project that is a four-page, seven-image document with very little text. The project must be submitted as a PDF under 300 KB. However, when I export the document under the smallest file size preset and with the compression rates down to 72 dpi, I get a PDF that is 612 KB.
All my classmates are able to get it under 300 KB, so I'm confused as to why mine is so large. I'm using 5 JPGs and 2 GIFs, and each take up a 5in by 5in square in the document. They are relatively really small pictures (avg. 250 KBS) and I've even re-saved all to be under 100 KB, but the PDF size only drops to around 500 KB I transferred between InDesign CC on Mac and InDesign CS5 on Windows and wonder if that is a concern.

Just wanted to share the results, in case someone comes across this forum in the future.
In danegonzalez's four-page InDesign layout, seven black-and-white images were used. Three pages contained two 5" by 5" images accompanied by seven lines of text under each image, and the last page had one image-and-description set of similar sizes. An audit of the PDF done on Acrobat (below) showed that the images made up the majority of the file size.
Since the images had quite a bit of detail, I figured that changing their file type would be the best way to create a more compact PDF and keep the integrity of the images. So I cropped the images to size and saved them as 24-bit PNG files. Even though the PNG files were larger than the originals, it gave nice PDF results. Here is the audit results of the updated PDF after using InDesign's "Smallest File Size" default preset.
I'm glad we were able to resolve this issue.

Why is UI text-size tiny in InDesign CC 2014?

I just upgraded to InDesign 2014 version 10.0.0.70 x64, and the UI text is tiny. The menu text (i.e. when you click on "Edit" the options "undo, redo, cut, copy, paste, etc.") is normal size, but the tools panels and everything else is tiny.
My Windows (7) text-size is already set to 150%.
Any suggestions?

Seriously the only thing left is a bigger monitor. I'm up to 30" now because every time I nee to reaplce one they raise the darn monitor resolutions so I can't use the small ones comfortably anymore.
I feel your pain.

Why is jpeg file size different in CS 5 and Photoshop CC?

If I open a jpeg file in both CS5 and Photoshop CC, and then "save" the files, the file from CC is much smaller than the file from CS5.
The size and compression ratios are the same, but the file size is different. (It is about 1/2 the size).

Bridge does not compress any files whatsoever. Bridge is not an image editor, it's nothing but a browser that hands the files to their respective applications. Bridge does not "open" or "save" files, it can't compress them in any shape or form.
What you are seeing is the difference between the opened, uncompressed file in RAM and the space the file occupies on disk once
Photoshop has saved and compressed it.
The Bridge cache has nothing to do with any of this.

Why is the PAPER SIZE pull down list different between my 2 identical MFPs?

Indesign 6 - Toshiba MFPs with PS3 Drivers.
I have 2 of the same models Toshiba MFPs - 5560c, and using the Universal PS3 Driver under Windows 7 PC.
Why is my Paper Size pull down list different between to the 2 MFPs? The main reason I ask; I don't leave it on "Defined by Driver" because that affects full bleed with crop mark printing, so I setup the driver first (say 12x18), then come back to the InDesign dialog and select a paper size.
For my scenario I need 12x18 - which shows in one list but not the other. Aside from that the lists are totally different - why is that? How can I manage that list?
Thanks,
Pat

Easy downscaling for different banner sizes?

Hi,
I'm fairly new to Edge but i'm trying to make a couple of banners for the Google Display Network.
I've made a banner with 336x280 pixels, now I want to make the same banner in 300x250 pixels.
With Flash I used to right-click the stage, change the stage dimensions and check 'scale content' and my banner would be done in an instant.
Is there some sort of easy tool in Edge that would make this possible as well? I'm having trouble converting to the other banner sizes.
Thanks in advance!
Guido

If you work with "%" instead of using "px" for all element's dimension and position, except for the stage whose dimensions must be in "px", then if you change the stage dimension to whatever size you desire, then all the contents will downscale/upscale automatically.

Exporting large banner to pdf in InDesign - awkward way

Some new colleague has just asked me today to help her with exporting a large banner from InDesign CS5 for print.
The banner is quite huge but InDesign - as well known to most except to apparently her as a so called "Graphic Designer" - isn't suited for the production of large banners rather being a text program with the limitation of 5486,4 mm for each of the two axis.
The banner that she has to print exceeds this length by far thus she asked me for help today to figure out a way to export it and send it to the print shop. It contains two blocks with black color, three text blocks and a background image covering the whole banner. Resolution is fine for the purpose of the banner print/material so don't mind this for now.
The important part and question is this...
I have before had a similar job in my company doing a similar banner with similar dimensions. However knowing that this would prove impossible to create in neither InDesign nor Illustrator in those dimensions I decided to basically create it in Illustrator with only vector graphics and outlined text with half the dimensions in either axis direction of the real physical dimensions needed. In other words 50% of the physically requested banner size for the final print. I then exported the Illustrator file to pdf and made an agreement with the print-shop that they would upscale it to double the size or in other words back to 100% of the size needed.
This little maneuver was a quick and easy solution of mine to a large banner request.
However as mentioned the present banner was firstly created using InDesign - which I think was a bad idea in the first place since I would have personally recommended and preferred Illustrator - and secondly it wasn't done with the right physical size for output in mind.
Now while discussing how to upscale this banner my colleague begun going into the print-dialogue in InDesign, chosing the "Post Script" option (of the Post Script driver installed I guess), then proceeded somehow to Adobe Distiller and started distilling a version of the banner. The whole thing happened so fast that I can only roughly recall this much but after the process took place the outcome wasn't neither satisfying to her (somehow, don't ask me why) nor did it seem to upscale the file.
I then paused and looked confused for a second after which I asked her what exactly she was trying to achieve with this action. The explanation was - apparently - that this was "a standard procedure in a print shop" where she had previously worked and that this "somehow was the best way to export" in a situation like that. I am guessing here whether she meant the pdf or the solving the actual problem with the banner size.
Anyhow I then asked how this would make the banner or quality of it (or both if taking it exactly) LARGER so the banner would resize to - say - 200% if she was using half of the correct dimension size.
Now I am always willing to learn something new and I admit that I don't know everything (who does) but unless something really new has happened in the last ten years that has given InDesign the ability of upscaling a banner with the described content (and me having slept a long beauty-sleep without my knowledge) I don't EVER recall having heard that a procedure like THIS or ANY procedure in this situation would be solving the problem UNLESS the banner's image has the double resolution which the final banner print requires and is subsequently upscaled from 50% to a 100% in the print shop.
I also guess that the export - Ctrl+E for InDesign or Illustrator - which I used the last time generates a perfectly working pdf in this connection that any print shop would luckily accept if just the rest is meeting their technical requirements for printing.
Now tell me that I am right because this really sounds odd to me...
Thanks for any input in advance.

Okay, thanks for the input.
So I do understand the answers correctly when I say that my solution and proposal fully works and that distilling is unnecessary when exporting to pdf from either of the two applications since it a) is a perfectly working solution in regards to the print shop and b) holds - largely - the same export settings as when accessing the Adobe PDF printer or Adobe Distiller. Could anybody confirm this with a "correct" or "incorrect"?
If this is correctly understood why all the different pdf export solutions? Is it just to make the options look a bit "bigger" and giving people more options to access the pdf-export settings?
I remember that when a colleague in our previous CS1 suite created a pdf with the Adobe PDF printer and I did the same using the Ctrl+E export pdf option (which were both done from within InDesign) we got two different pdf file sizes (in i.e. kB). Her's was actually smaller than mine. I don't know if this has changed in the newer Adobe CS versions in particular the latter CS5 and honestly I don't know why - except for the settings - there should be any difference. I am not 100% sure anymore since it's been about half a year ago or so but I think to be able to remember that our export settings were similar if not the same (most likely some of the standard settings).
Any thoughts on this one...?

When creating a new DPS should I use sizes offered by InDesign or the display size of the device?

Hello all,
When creating a new DPS, should I use the sizes offered by InDesign or the display size of the device? I ran into this question when I was looking up the sizes of different devices and found that iPhone 5s, iPhone5c, and iPhone4s sizes differ than the defauly dimensions offered by InDesign.
Also, should I worry about the ppi resolution? With iPhone, they all seem to be 326ppi but when dealing with other devices is this something that I should take into consideration? Ideally, I could be creating DPS apps for all devices offered in the Digital Publishing drop down in InDesign (iPhone, iPad, Kindle Fire/Nook, and Android).
Thank you for any help you can provide.
By the way, if it helps I am using InDesign CC.

Using 1024x768 and creating PDF articles will get you OK with both iPad resolutions, and, as Bob L. says, quite decent "one size fits all" result for all other devices.

Font Different in InDesign & Pages

Hello. I'm new to InDesign and this forum, but I'm having a problem and thought somebody might be able to help.
The problem is with a book I've laid out and am in the process of printing in InDesign CS4 (for Mac)...The typeface (Baskerville) looks different in InDesign than it does in Apple Pages or MS Word. I'm using the same typeface at the same size. Neither is bold or italic. The difference, which is much more pronounced on the printed page than onscreen, seems to be mostly in the thickness of the letters. In Pages and Word, most of the lines are thin and there's a large contrast between thin and thick lines. In InDesign, the thin lines seem thickened and there's less contrast, as if the text were semibold.
This is disappointing, because I greatly prefer the way the text looks in Pages and Word.
Is this an issue that anybody else has come across?
Thanks for the help,
Ben

Because InDesign treats text characters like a hybrid of text as you know it, and also as objects - that is, a character has a path around it (like an outline or border) and a fill inside the path - it's possible to set a line property for the path that's independent of the fill. (Sometimes the path is called "stroke;" a bit ambiguous, because applying a line property to a path, such as thickness, color, pattern, and some others, is called "adding a stroke to a path," or simply "stroking a path.")
What this means for your situation is that if the paths of the text characters have picked up a stroke property, they'll look thicker and blockier; open spaces in letters like o, c, e, a, and so on, will fill in. Select some text and check its stroke property anywhere the stroke can be measured, such as the Stroke panel, or the Character Color property pane of the Character Styles or Paragraph Styles panels.
The washed-out lower-contrast may be due to the setting of the Preferences setting for Appearance of Black. I think it defaults to Rich Black rather than 100% Black.
These setting differences may occur with text that's created in another application and placed/imported into InDesign.
Look up stroke characters and appearance of black in InDesign help.
EDIT: I forgot to say that usually you want no stroke (zero points) on text. The appearance of black is more a personal taste issue.

Why the flashback log'size smaller than the archived log ?

hi, all . why the flashback log'size smaller than the archived log ?

Flash logs size depends on parameter DB_FLASHBACK_RETENTION_TARGET , how much you want to keep.
Archive log files is dumped file of Online redo log files, It can be either size of Online redo log file size or less depending on online redo size when switch occurred.
Some more information:-
Flashback log files can be created only under the Flash Recovery Area (that must be configured before enabling the Flashback Database functionality). RVWR creates flashback log files into a directory named “FLASHBACK” under FRA. The size of every generated flashback log file is again under Oracle’s control. According to current Oracle environment – during normal database activity flashback log files have size of 8200192 bytes. It is very close value to the current redo log buffer size. The size of a generated flashback log file can differs during shutdown and startup database activities. Flashback log file sizes can differ during high intensive write activity as well.

Manual kerning/tracking in Incopy looks different in Indesign

Does Incopy handle kerning and tracking differently than Indesign? Editors are
opening INDD file in Incopy and using manual kerning and tracking to copyfit. However, when the INDD file is opened in Indesign, the kerning and tracking appear not to have taken. Text is not flowing the same when opened in Indesign as it did when opened in Incopy.

After looking at the paragraph(s) in questions, I found that the editors had
applied MANY overrides to the style sheet in order to copyfit, including
various amounts of kerning, tracking, they changed the type size and
leading, they also changed the horizontal scaling. Yikes, It's a mess to say
the least. Of course their point is that whatever they do in Incopy, it
should look the same in Indesign. I think anything done to this type at this
point could jeopardize it's stability.

After installing Aperture and leaving photos in iPhoto library, why did iphoto library size almost double?

I installed Aperture and chose to leave all my images in the iPhoto library until I became more comfortable/familiar with Aperture.
I was looking at my hard drive space and see that the available space went way down. In Finder, the Aperture library.ap library is 17.97 gb and the iPhoto library is 122.75 gb.
When I open iPhoto, it says that it contains 19349 images/87 gb.
What happened? Is that extra size related to the Aperture referencing the images? Should I delete and start over, and move all the images into Aperture so that they are managed there?
I'm just figuring my way around Aperture, and I'm trying not to over-think the organizational differences, but this size discrepancy seems a bit too much.

I wish I had more info for this but I'm stumped. As I said there is no reason Aperture would increase the iPhoto library size by importing iPhoto's library.
BTW how did you do the import, that might shed some light on the problem.
The image count between the backup and the live iPhoto libraries seems fairly consistent so why the jump in size I can't say. And as for the increase in the number of images in Aperture, you started with an empty Aperture library, correct? And did you import anything directly into Aperture since you did the iPhoto import?
I'm still a little confused on the whole thing where Aperture shows both original and edited versions of an image, and some show both RAW & JPEG versions of an image,
Well Aperture really doesn't show both the original and edited versions, all you ever see are the versions unless you specifically ask to see the master. When you import an image into Aperture a version of the master is automatically made and displayed. Because at this point the version is no different then the master (you haven't made any adjustments to it yet) the version looks exactly like the master but it is the version you are seeing.
As for the RAW & JPG thing, if you shoot both RAW + JPG's in your camera when you import them you have the choice of which to make the master or to make each one a master. Not sure if that is what you are referring to.
I'm wondering whether I would have been better off just moving the whole iPhoto library into Aperture at the beginning, and deleting the iPhoto library.
That is definitly one option and the option most users who switch eventually make. You're not going to want to have both programs handeling your photos. But you should probably hold off until you;re more omfortable with Aperture and make sure you have a good backup of the iPhoto library before you do anything.
Remember when you import the iPhoto library into Aperture you're only choice is to copy the images not move them. This is done so that you can make sure all went OK before doing anything with iPhoto.
If you have the room you could try bringing in the iPhoto library backup, and trying the import again into a new empty Aperture library.
