Hi,  
I am importing a JPG into indesign via File>Place, this should bring the image in at 100% but as I have imported and resized the image previously, it is bringing it in at less than 100% - how do I reset this please? I know I can easily resize but I need it to import it this way at 100%
I have tried clearing Indesign preferences and the cache with no sucess.
I'd love some help please!
Thanks Jo

Did you check your "basic graphic frame" object style? May be you do some changes and forget about.

Hi Jo, if you select the placed JPEG and check the Link Info panel what’s listed as the Scale?

If you are placing in a selected frame try deleting the existing linked image before replacing

I don't know the exact English term, but in my French version, I would go in: menu Objet > ajustement > effacer les options d'ajustement de bloc

Thank you so much everyone. I finally figured it out. I had changed the resolotion of these images (and forgot!)  in photoshop and some how Indesign was remebering part of the change but not all of it. Once I quit Indesign a few more times and re-opened the images in photoshop via indesign, it all worked!
