    Hi

    I am having a problem when i am importing icons (images) into InDesign from Photoshop. The icons appears sharp in Photoshop but in InDesign it looks very “jagged”. See following link.

    https://peecee.dk/uploads/122013/image_quality.jpg

    I have changed the display quality to high and the image is a JPEG in 1500 * 1000 pixels with a resolution of 300 DPI. I have tried various image types but every time I end up with the same result.

    What am i missing here?

    Are you talking about on screen or on final export?
    Remember that JPEG is a lossy format, so you will get some jags and blurriness when you save from Photoshop as JPEG, and if you then export a PDF, it may downsample and re-jpeg the images, depending on your export settings.

      Thanks for the reply.

      Apparently it looks okay when I print it. Isn’t possible to fix the display in InDesign, so the overall feeling of the layout can be achived during the design proces?

    Do you have “overprint preview” turned on? If not, turn it on and see if image looks better.

      Well, that did the trick :) Thank you very much. I am wondering why this is not turned on by default? I guess it uses more of the computers ressources (CPU/RAM)?

    Overprint preview turns off guides, frame edges, and invisibles. I usually work with all these visible (I like to see everything that’s going on while I’m working on a project.) I turn on overprint preview as a final step.
