Hello,

I am trying to create some wedding album layouts in InDesign. Every time I import a photo into InDesign (by clicking and dragging it from original folder into program) the photo either appears as a black box or like this:

I've tried changing my display performance but nothing seems to do the trick, any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

What format are the photos in right now?

What do they look like when you open them in a photo editor?

Which photo editor do you have (Photoshop?)

Where did the photos come from?

Looks like the images are slightly corrupted.

As above, resave to a different file format like a tiff or psd or whatever is appropriate

Process a batch of Photoshop files

Remember, never say you can't do something in InDesign, it's always just a question of finding the right workaround to get the job done. © David Blatner

What file type do the images have?

What color mode and what color profile do they have?

Often it helps opening images in Photoshop and save with a new file name as PSD (best in RGB) and place that in InDesign.
