Import multiple pictures by ID, press Ctrl + Shift and click, where can I set the default size?

For example, I need to generate a 80X80 frame after importing the map.

The key now is where do I go to set this 80X80.

Hi,

for that you need a specific page size in the New Document dialog.

And follow the rules Rob already layed out.

One example:

250 x 250 page size with 5 as gutter.

That's it. There are no other preferences you can change or edit.

Hi 喜狼_edny,

an interesting question indeed. When holding Shift and Ctrl and click you are using the "gridify" feature for placing images.

I cannot explain the default size, but I can explain default orientation and default gap between the placed images.

1. Default orientation is the orientation of the page as defined with New Document.

If the page is a square you get a square sized graphic frame. If the page is not a square, but done in portrait mode you get a portrait proportioned graphic frame. The same with orientation landscape.

FWIW: The aspect ratio of the graphic frame is not exactly the aspect ratio of the page, but nearly the same.

2. The default gap size between the graphic frames is exactly the one for gaps in Margins and Columns as defined with New Document.

I would consider creating a Object Style and apply it to the frames first. There are options there to control the size of the pictures and how they fill the frame. 

If you place an image directly on a page (not into an existing frame), the size of the image and its parent container will be its  output dimensions at 100% scale.

So Photoshop’s Image Size tells me that this image has an output dimension of 4.8"x3.2"

If I place it directly on the page without dragging, it will get placed at 100% scale at the same dimensions—the page size doesn’t matter:

If I drag while I place, I can drag to a desired percentage and release:

The placed image is at 55% of the original Photoshop output dimensions
