Reply To: Display performance problems – InDesign CS4

Hi there, and thanks for the quick reply.

I don't think that I've explained myself very well. The issue isn't confined to images, rather the entire layout, text included. It's as if the graphic card (Radeon 4870 512mb) runs out of texture memory and InDesign defaults to lowest display setting. I should also explain that I've been a designer for 20 years and have recently made the switch from QuarkXpress, so understand your advice well.

PDF's print fine and there's no issue with the eventual output. It's just very annoying to have to work in overprint preview all of the time as it's not good on resources and can be a bit slow at times when scrolling etc. It's impossible to get a handle on the asthetics of the layout when the display is so terrible. I'm not sure if this forum allows screenshots? Let me know and I'll post one.

Thanks again.
