High Quality display performance not working

[jon_m]

Whenever I select high-quality display performance it makes my image super pixelated. The image is high res and the settings under display performance are set to high res and high quality. I also have preserve object-object level display settings and enable anti-aliasing checked. Nothing is making sense.

Hi Fernanda:

This feature hasn't changed since it was asked about in 2017 and I have not personally experienced any bugs with it. If InDesign is buggy—which it often is after a major upgrade—the correct approach is to rebuild the cache and preferences files.

Otherwise, it comes down to not understanding how to use this feature, which I acknowledged is confusing in my original answer. If you want to provide us with additional information, we are happy to try to help you work through it.

I am also having this problem. i find sometimes if I relink the file (even though it is currently linked it fixes the problem temporarily). And its not very image, just certain ones, both imported vector and psd files. I have checked evey option, preferences, view menu, and Im still having this problem. Even with new update to 18.1. Ive attached a file to show what Im talking about, its so bad.

@hegercreative:

Please share your InDesign version number, the effective PPI on the selected image, and where exactly you set the display performance to High Quality.
