linabellaThank you for the info.
linabellaThanks 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?
linabellaThanks, jdoverton!
I was looking at the info panel in INDD rather than the links info. It does say 500×335 pixels, but the doc I'm placing the images in is 500×400 pixels and when I place it, it takes up a space that's 100×55.
If I just increase the size by 400% or so it will be the size I need – but because it's really 500×335, there's enough info to do so without pixelating it – is that right?
linabellaSounds like it works for you. That's good.
If it defaulted to a blank title, it would even be better than having the title of a previous document as default on SOME of the documents (but not all). None of the other applications I use have this anomaly, so for us it's an issue.
We also work with interns who are learning and find they've been replacing every document that they edited with the same name is a lot of wasted work. Maybe we need to be working in Photoshop instead. Doesn't happen in Photoshop – just INDesign and just some files.
I might try re-installing it if I have time after re-creating the last four files that were written over.
ACK.
linabellaI am using CS5 and used CS3 before that, and both of them sometimes populate the name filed with that of a previous file.
Really messes with my workflow. Yes, I can re-type the name every time, but I don't always remember and it's caused me tremendous frustration when I can't find a file I just worked on.
Anyone who finds a way to fix this will have my unding gratitude.
