Hello everyone,
I've been trying to find a solution why my link panel doesn't show my image when I clicked one of my images. Normally this feedback works. As you can see I clicked on the big image ( the big rectangle selected with an orange line).
Did I click on something without knowing?
Thanks in advance,
Marielle
Hi together,
drag and drop an image from the finder to an InDesign page usually would create a link to the file.
If it is not selected in the Links panel after selecting the placed image in the layout one could check:
1. Select the placed image and copy it to the clipboard
2. Add a new document
3. Paste the image from the clipboard
4. Inspect the Links panel
The file name should be visible.
If not, you indeed pasted a bunch of pixels only.
If it is indeed a linked image file go back to your complex layout:
De-select all, select the image or the graphic frame holding the image again.
That should show the link.
If that fails, select the graphic frame holding the image, open your Layer's panel and try to detect the currently selected object.
The name in the Layers panel should reflect the file name.
Regards,
Uwe
Hi Uwe,
I have no idea what I did right now, I started my computer several days later and now it just works again. I will keep your feedback in mind when I encounter the same problem. Thank you a lot for your feedback (Others too)
Kind regards,
Marielle
