Hello, I'm having viewing problems. These attached are two screenshots of the same layout, the first is indesign, the second from a different software. Maybe I have some wrong settings? I work with Mac. Thanks

In a blind swing at a useful answer: with very few exceptions, all mature apps on all platforms can have their working display optimized, through either internal app settings, OS/driver level settings or sometimes system/user settings. Comparing the layout view between two otherwise completely different apps is... not useful or likely to lead to any meaningful 'solution.'

Use the app that serves your needs, and do everything possible to optimize its interface and operation for your needs.

ETA: It's also wise to choose an app that's still supported and in constant development over one that's essentially obsolete, no matter how much prettier its working display is. 🙂

Clear. I abandoned Quark to switch to Indesign and was hoping that this gap would have a solution. Thank you

What you are seeing is a faulty InDesign display. Depending on your platform, hardware, OS and ID version, there are many ways to clean up and optimize the display quality.

What is the "different software" you're viewing the layout in? Is it a PDF (how was it created)? Is it an exported image file like JPEG or PNG?

What you see as being "wrong" between the two?

The first image is from Indesign, the second is from Quaerk Xpress. In the image from Indesign I see a bad display quality, very different from the print. In the second case I think it's much better

Is that the actual layout or are you looking at a placed image?
