Hi @Mateomono ,

could you attach a sample InDesign document where you see the problem?

Export as PDF/X-4
Open that in Photoship
Export as you need it to any pixel formats

Direct export to pixel formats from InDesign directly causes worse quality as with the PDF/X-4 step between and from Photoshop.
