How to change photo shape settings

Could it be, that you have changed the corne option? Try to reset the used Object Style.

The next thing to try is to reset your InDesign preferences. Close InDesign, then click on its icon to reopen but immediately hold down Control, Alt, and Shift (Windows) or Command, Option, and Shift (Mac). You will get a message box asking if you want to remove your preferences. Click "OK" and InDesign will open in its default configuration.

That should handle the problem. You can now import your preferences from the last version of InDesign that you had installed, or simply set them up again.

The good news is that the tool setting is an application-specific setting, so when you set them once they'll stick from here on out.

• Open a document. Get your Black Arrow/Selection tool and tap on a blank spot on the clipboard to make sure absolutely nothing is selected.
• Go to your Toolbar and check out the shapes of the Shape tool and the Frame tool, as shown in the illustration to right. In the example, both tools are set as polygon shapes. I'd just about bet at least one of these tools in your toolbar are too.
• Go to the downward-pointing triangle to the bottom right of the tool button tile and hold down the left mouse button. This opens a flyaway menu which lets you select options of Polygon, Ellipse and Rectangular shapes.
• Change the Polygon option with the hexagon shape to a Rectangular shape and your polygon issue should be no more.

Hope this helps,
