Pixelated photoshop (CC 2019) Creative cloud

1. What size in pixels is your image?

2. What size in inches is the frame for the cover you are trying to fill in InDesign?

3. Double check that you have Object > Display Performance > High Quality Display

still does not work. I´m sorry, im begin super annoying!

Um... right click on the image.. and select "Display Performance" Change it to "High Quality Display"

Hi Dax, thanks again. Unfortunately thats what Ive been doing but still importing files blurry!

So the typical industry standard is that you should create your art at is 300dpi at the size it will be printed. So if your cover is 5.25 x 8.75 then your image should be 1575px by 2625px. Then when you import into InDesign your file should be fine.

GL with your book!

Thanks again for your help. It was not really for print, Ive exported the files and brought them into Indesign. (Its a book cover) So did the artwork on photoshop and I wanted to lay it out and add the rest of the elements in IND

Hit Ctrl / Cmd + 0 (zero) to bring magnification down to normal level.

Thanks for your answer Dax. Do you have any clue, why its doing the same when exporting an image? Even when not zoomed in, it looks terribly blurred.

One thing to remember. Photoshop is not a vector program. Anything/Everything in Photoshop will looks this way if you zoom in enough. You are correct in your assumption that Illustrator and InDesign will produce scaleable lossless art. Photoshop will not. It is completely resolution dependent.
