Presumably your printer is not a duplex printer. It's always difficult to register a correct backup just by turning over the sheet.

Another way of finding the issue is dividing the document in half. If one half opens without any issue, but the other half crashes, divide that half again and repeat the process until you (hopeflly!) isolate the issue.

In addition to Peter's questions, how much RAM and spare hard disk capacity do you have? Try saving the document as an IDML doc, renaming it and opening it as a new InDesign doc.

Consider using the Adobe Cleaner Tool to remove all the Adobe applications and doing a clean install.

I'm not sure what your question is; presumably, you know Lightroom doesn't support Layers like Photoshop does.

Try setting your page spec with no documents open: File > Document Setup.
You can also specify your default font, size, leading etc with no documents open then closing and reopening the doc.

Check with your tutor that it's acceptable, I would suggest you use InDesign's Publish Online facility. If you know InDesign, it's relatively easy to create reliable interactive documents that can be read on PCs, Macs, Tablets and Smart Phones. And it's free with InDesign and you can include a link on your website. You can even include a facility to enable users to download a (static) PDF version.

Use a "simple" button – no interactivity – a word or words or a button shape or image.

I don't know, I don't use Lightroom, ask in the Lightroom forum. I would have thought there would be a backup method.

Can you confirm that previously you used the Adobe Cleaner Tool to remove all traces of the Adobe applications and then did a clean install?

It might be worth trying to reset the Photoshop settings back to the factory defaults using the manual method to see if that does anything.
Launch Photoshop and quickly hold down the following keys:
Mac OS: Shift+Control+Option+Command
When prompted to delete the Preferences, click Yes (If you don't see the question repeat the exercise.)

How much RAM and spare hard disk capacity do you have? Have you tried unticking "Use Graphics Processor" found under the Performance tab in Photoshop Settings (then closing and reopening the application)?

You download images that are open in Photoshop using the various Save facilities – File Save /Save As / Save a Copy (or for web use: File > Export).
For uploading it's: File > Open.
If you can't use any of these you may have a corrupt file or an incompatible format.
You may also have an issue with Photoshop that may be resolved by resetting the preferences back to the factory defaults which you can do under the Genera tab in Photoshop Settings.

Not sure if this is what you want, but for those producing book covers of all sizes and kinds regularly, I can thoroughly recommend this InDesign plugin: https://www.danrodney.com/scripts/makebookjacket.html

This is a four year old thread – now there's an easier way to reset the preferences back to the InDesign factory defaults – listed under the General tab in InDesign Preferences..

If you have a 10-year-old version of InDesign, it probably won't be compatible with recent operating systems.

Welcome to this friendly user-to-user forum. Please don't use CAPITALS when you post as they are difficult to read when you have a lot of text and it's also considered to be shouting! Regarding photograph enhancement, Photoshop is considered the industry-standard application for photography enhancement. Many users might feel that you need to use a variety of PS tools to enhance an image, depending on what you want to achieve. For example, there's a one-step remove background facility in the Contextual Task Bar, but personally never use it as I prefer to use Select > Subject and fine-tune from there using a variety of techniques.

As this thread is several years old it might be better starting a new one. Include your version of InDesign and OS and how much RAM and spare hard disk capacity you have.
Does InDesign crash when you save a file or when you export to Reflowable ePub?

Assuming you have the correct system specs and this is happening when you try and open any file (it's not just one corrupt one), it might be worth using the Adobe Cleaner Tool to remove all of the application and do a clean install. https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/creative-cloud/kb/cc-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html
