I need document size help between Photoshop and Indesign

Hi,

I think I'm probably missing something really obvious here but I have a PSD file set up at 900x450px at 300dpi and I have an indesign document set up 'for web' at 900x450px but when I place the photoshop file in indesign it is much smaller than the indesign document. Please can someone explain to me why? Ultimately and cancreate the whole file in Photoshop so it doesn't matter but it would be nice to understand what I am missing!

Thanks

If you want them to match you have to set up the Photoshop image at 72ppi which is what InDesign assumes when you use web as the intent.

Hi @user2132209 , Also, try setting your InDesign and Photoshop Rulers Units to Inches and compare the output dimensions:

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
