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

Thanks again for your info.

My original plan was to resize the photos to fit the InDesign document, but I ran into a snag and ended up here. I prefer not to do any resizing of the image in InDesign.

What I'm attempting to do is to size the photo at 500×335 pixels at 350ppi in Photoshop. When I open it in Photoshop it's 3872×2592 pixels at 350ppi, I resize it to 500×335 and leave it at 350ppi and save it. Then when I place it in a 500×400 pixel document in InDesign, it is suddenly 102×69 pixels.

So even though photoshop shows the photo at 500×335 pixels and it was straight out of the camera at 3872×2592 at 350ppi,

and the dimensions of the document I'm placing it in are 500×400 pixels in InDesign,

(and I'm not drawing a frame – just clicking on the canvas and letting it come in at whatever size it is)

there's something in my default InDesign settings telling it to resize? So how else would I resize a photo to fit a 500×400 pixel InDesign doc?

My units and increments panel is set for pixels as the ruler units. Where else should I be looking?
