In this “Three Minutes Max” video, Keith Gilbert shows how to quickly extend a background image in InDesign—without an AI boost. He demos expanding an image to fill a page and also how to add a small bleed amount to an image. Keith then gives a tip on extending an image with a color fill, handy when adding text over an image.
Three Minutes Max comes from a fun—yet very competitive—session at our annual CreativePro Week conference. Speakers have three minutes to wow the audience with the tip and win a prize for a lucky conference attendee.
