InDesign - Scale Images

New Here ,
May 04, 2017 May 04, 2017

Hi There. I am working on InDesign and I'm trying to scale images true to size - for example if a piece is 10MM L x 5MM W - how do I put in these measurements so when the document is printed the image looks true to size?

Hi Jennifer,

and you can also enter the size in the % editing fields.
That will scale container frame plus image.

In my example below the lock is set to maintain proportional scaling in width and height:

After scaling:
