Reply To: InDesign/Photoshop CS5 images downsized when using "place" command

Amber,

There is nothing wrong with your file. You are looking at the InDesign Info panel, when you should be looking at the Links Info panel. Your document is set up (probably) in pixel measurements, and the calculation from pixels to inches is relative to your screen setup more than anything in your document.

If you look at the object in the Links panel and expand it to show the Info, you will see that the size of the image is in fact 500×335 at 350 ppi. The Info panel is simply showing the dimensions of the object in the current measurement units, not the underlying pixel dimension of the linked image (though it does show the actual and effective ppi, as it does in the links info panel).

Hope that clears it up. You really have nothing to worry about.
