Reply To: Indd Best Practices for Placing High Res Images Destined for Print

Frances, I’m not sure I understand the question, but if I’m reading it correctly, you’re asking how to get great quality printed results with minimal, manageable file size. InDesign shouldn’t really choke on large TIFF files if your system has sufficient resources, as it will render a lower quality version for display while you work on the document. If you need your linked files to be smaller, you could convert the TIFFs to JPEG files of the same dimensions [or downsample them to the necessary dimensions for your document] with minimal to no loss in quality.
