I am preparing a multipage newsletter with several images using InDesign 2020. In a misguided fit of curiousity, I changed the display performance setting on an image to High Quality. As I expected, the image is grayed out. However, I cannot change the display performance back to Typical Display. I have reset display performance in View, Object, and Edit Preferences to Typical. I have saved the document, closed it, closed InDesign, then reopened everything. The image is still grayed out. What am I doing wrong, or what am I not doing that I should be doing?
Thanks.

Have you tried resetting the InDesign preferences?
1) Close InDesign
2) Double click on Adobe InDesign's icon to launch it
3) QUICKLY hold down Ctrl+Alt+Shift. (for Windows) or CTL+OPT+CMD+Shift (for Mac OS X)
4) When a dialog appears, ask you “Delete InDesign Preference Files?” Click Yes.
(If you don't see the question do it again.)

You will lose system defaults if you delete preferences. Please try my answer, below, first.

Hi Jo Anne, firstly, greyed-out images actually reflect the Fast Display setting and not the High Quality Display setting. High Quality Display and Typical Display both show the images. That said, I'm guessing that you need to enable View > Display Performance > Clear Object-Level Display Settings in that file.
