Using files in Photoshop and Indesign

Question

So I have to create my portfolio as my last deadline. I do a lot of editing of photos and drawings in photoshop. The quality is good in photoshop, however, I find however when I put these drawings into indesign they become very blurry even after I change the display performance to High Quality.

Could this be because I put the photoshop file straight into indesign? Would it be better for me to export the photoshop file into a JPG first and then put it in indesign(FYIL I did this before but did not notice a difference in quality from it being blurry)?

Could someone offer me some advice on how to make the quality better or to avoid this loss in quality.

InDesign will always display a preview, not the original image.

So even with display performance set to high quality, the preview will have lower quality than the original.

And there is no need to export a jpg, which may reduce image quality because of the lossy compression.
