I am currently making a design in inDesign and I am importing some transparent images. In the past it works by Ctrl + D the pictures into my placeholders, but this time instead of a transparent background, it shows an "orange"-like background in what supposed to be the transparent "part". What should I do to fix this?

Try resaving the PNG in Photoshop. Some applications seem to create non-standard PNG files.

It works now -- I tried saving it as a PNG-24 instead and for some reason it works.

Is the rest of the layout "grayed" out? If yes, check your Flattener Preview panel.

What is the format of the image? What version of InDesign? What operating system? Is the frame filled with a color?

I am using a PNG-8 (dithered) format for the picture. The version of my inDesign is the 2018 (13.0) version. I am using a Windows 10 Pro Build 16299 64-bit. The whole background is filled with this color except for the object in the picture.
