For what it's worth, trust me when I tell you that it won't be long before you don't notice them at all.

That said, I remember back in the days of Quark, there used to be an Xtension which allowed you to turn these off if you didn't like them. Perhaps some generous programmer will take your plight onboard and write one for InDesign..?

In the meantime, here's a tip you may find useful if you frequently do a lot of the same stuff:

Create a document that is larger than your page size and, using a box the same size as the required area as a guide, add the crop, score and perf marks to that, group the marks (omitting the box) together and save them into a Library file (don't forget to label them so you know which ones are which). That way, when you need them you can just copy them straight to a new document onto a separate layer, lock it and forget about them.

Alternatively, you could just create a template (.indt) file with the marks preset.

It's a personal preference, but I prefer to use libraries as it means I don't need to convert a folder full of existing template files if I upgrade my software.

A little preparation goes a long way as you will no doubt find out as you progress in your career – you may even get a pat on the back from the boss for saving time…

Hi,

I've this strange thing with an image or photo I'm editing in Photoshop. Once done, I click save, and getting this message like: “cannot save, file is in use” or something. That's correct, because I've opened it straight from Indesign. So when I close that particular Indesign file, I now can save the photoshop file. The thing is that this error message doesn't always appear, even with the Indesign open. Anyone noticed this as well?

Hi Eelco,

I used to get this annoying problem all the time, but I've found that if I just go back to the InDesign document and save that, the file I have open in PhotoShop will save with no problem. I don't know how that works, it just does, even when I've saved the InDesign document BEFORE I invoke the Edit Original command…

Hope that helps…
