Hi,
I am making a book in InDesign CC 2017.1 with illustrations from Photoshop.
When I place the photoshop file into the ID document, the image looks pixelated, but when I export it as a PDF, it looks fine.

How do I get it so it looks like it will when I export it for print?
Here is a screenshot of the pixelated image...
The display quality doesn't matter for output quality.

Question for all of you (not really related to OPs question). When I posted above, my email address is incorrect and uses an old Google email. When I went into my Google account, that old email is nowhere to be found. So odd.

Your answer is wrong and destructive. With flattening the PSD file you loose layers, transparency and all layer compositions. All should be alive to be usable in InDesign. I gave above the correct answer: Save as PDF with all layers. Place the PDF, not the PSD.

Help me to understand then as I am doing a book also in InDesign. I save a copy with all the layers. And then flatten the image and import that into InDesign. When I PDF it, everything looks fine. When I print it, everything looks fine. Thanks for your input.
