Part of placed photo is not showing

There is a problem with one of my placed images. Part of it does not show in InDesign. I have tried saving the photo as PSD. JPG, TIF -- the same prolem happens.

In the Links panel thumbnail, the whole photo appears correctly.

When I place the photo, while it is still in my cursor thumbnail it appears correctly.

But once it is placed on the page, part of the photo is missing.

 

I found that if I open the photo in Photoshop and drag it into InDesign, the photo displays correctly. But NOT when it is placed.

Have you investigated for the presence of an old clipping path?

Mike is correct. There is a clipping path in the .psd and your import options are set to use it. Re-import the photo and show import options so you can turn off the clipping path.

Check if the image is correct in the frame. Fit frame to content: Object > Fitting > Fit Frame to Content

 

Don't drag an image directly from Photoshop to InDesign.

Thanks, Will. The whole image is showing in the frame, but that has not fixed this strange issue.

I'd bet tyhe frame filling options for your default frame are set to Fill Frame Proportionally. That setting is going to always crop off part of an image that is not the same aspect ration as the frame (it takes the smallest dimension of the image relative to the frame and scales it to the corresponding dimension of the frame and cuts off part of the other dimension of the image).

Are you placing it into an already created frame? If so you need to enlarge your frame to show the rest of the picture. 

Don't drag the image from photoshop.

 

If a document is not behaving well then try 

File>Export 

Choose IDML

Open the IDML in InDesign
Save the file as a new InDesign file with a new name
See if the issue persists.

Try resetting your preferences:
The easiest way to reset everything is to delete the InDesign preferences: as soon as InDesign starts to boot hold down Shift, Alt, Ctrl (and Apple/Cmd if working on a Macintosh). A dialog will appear asking to delete the InDesign Preferences, select 'Yes' on this dialog.

Reinstalling rarely fixes everything - you can do a complete reinstall using the

I tried placing that same photo into InDesign CS6 and it had the same issue. The area that is not showing is a yellow/orange color. If I save just that yellow area part of the photo separately, it places and is visible in InDesign. 

I could use the solution of placing two separate pieces of the photo into InDesign, grouping them and putting the group into a frame.
