    Edit the resolution of the image in its respective programme (either photoshop or illustrator) and resize the image resolution to min 150 or best 300 PPI.

    Also proportionally increase the width to min 500 pixels or max 1000 to look good on most finished product results.

    This is an example of a relatively good width and PPI which I would use:

    Upsampling in Photoshop cannot create information that was not there to begin with; this won't help the blurriness or quality of the image.

    What's the effective PPI of the image (located in the lower half of the Links panel with the image/frame selected)?

    72 is not a high resolution, so it will not look smooth, even not on a screen as screens have now much higher resolution.

    Indesign uses preview, regardless of image resolution.

    Go View>Display performance > High Quality.

    Forgive these basic checks:

    • Have you since modified the file that is placed so that the link is altered?
    • Have you checked the high resolution settings in preferences?
    • Have you made sure that the actual image not just the frame is set to high resolution display & the document is set to high resolution as well?
    • Have you made sure that the image is actually of good quality both in terms of actual size versus the document/frame you are placing it in and that the Resolution/DPI is good enough for your requirement?

    IF all else fails have you tried resetting all of your InDesign preferences stored on the computer?
