Placed Images Not Showing/Showing up White

Hey community,

 

All of a sudden (overnight) my placed images started not showing up. To clarify, there is definitely images present, as when I click on the object I can see the size, move it around, see the "linked file" in the link bar. But it just isn't showing the image. I tried resetting my preferences, changing the display performance, restarting my computer and InDesign, linking the files from a different location, trying on different files, etc. I have read all the forums for similar issues but nothing is working. I am at a loss. Thanks so much for your help

    FIGURED IT OUT. The files were originally in HEIC form. When I renamed them, they started showing up as jpgs, even though they were not formally converted. When i formally converted to JPG, it worked.

    Hi, I am also having this issue. Thanks for sharing your troubleshooting on this. 

    My linked image assets are not showing up on my workspace while they are showing up in my pages panel.
    Here is a screenshot of what I'm seeing. Any thoughts would be so helpful. Ty

    As an update: it appears that photos that are originally sourced from my desktop do show up when placed. But when I take the photo from dropbox and put it on my desktop to place it, it does not show up. I need it to be linked to dropbox, so moving everything to my desktop is not an option.
