Yes, it was stupidity all along - Lesson learnt, I assume there is no quick fix for this?

To be honest, the last catalogue 2017 i got the file and dragged it in - But for this catalogue i just copied and pasted it from 2017 into 2018 And now that i think about it more obviously for the 2017 catalogue i was using the last version of indesign and for this one i was using the most updated version, leaving me to think it was that but from you've told me clearly it was human error all along! What the best way to rectify this? I'm like 200 images deep now.

Thanks for replying, No text wrap, either selected or not; It's so annoying because it's 2 of the visable box frames and the 3rd is obviously the image frame... EDIT: It looks as though it's selected in that image because i was hovering over it when i screen printed haha! it's defo not selected though!

Hello, Since updating InDesign, I now get 3 frame boxes around an image whereas I use to get only 2 – It’s really annoying and I can’t turn it off. Anyone know what’s causing this and how to turn it off, please? I want to go back 2 frames. Many thanks.

To elaborate on Davescm point, this will allow you to select the image from the artboard - you have to be quite accurate when working with different layers layered on top of each other as it will also select the visible layer

You’re correct, you shouldn’t have to do this, it’s bad design work and also just creating more work for herself down the line – When I create logo’s for people I usually package it with everything they’ll need for the future this includes; .ai file .pdf file .png file Font’s used, unless licence is needed, In which case I will provide a link to purchase .txt of my contact details If you need someone to help, you can drop me a message, I may even be able to recreate the logo for you and provide all the above. – I’d be more than happy to help.

Hi Mike, Welcome to the forums – There are many different ways to achieve this and most depend on the image itself. Could you post the image so we could take a look and advise? If you can’t a general rule of thumb do this: Top Menu > Select > Colour Range > ‘select the green’ > play with the fuzziness > Ok. Now you’ll see the green should be selected go > Image > Adjustments > Colour Balance > play with values until you’re happy > Ok.

I was using the eraser brush yesterday and it was fine, today i open the same document and found my eraser is doing this; So, i went into brush setting and can't see anything that would indicate why this is happening or how to reverse it. It's only doing it with the eraser, the brush tool is working as should.

This is because it’s locking the aspect ratio as it assumes you don’t want a stretched/squashed image or that you don’t want to lose any of the images, you can’t 100% fit a 2400x3600 image into 1200x1200 unless you’re okay with losing some of the images or as mentioned you’re okay with squishing the image. See my example;

Thanks for getting back to me, Actually, that makes a lot of sense - but would a big image say 30,000 x 30,000 px benefit from that too? since it's scaled so large. And yes, I've read on this forum funnily enough about not needing to convert images to CMYK prior, I guess it's just habit at this point as whenever i work with an image i will always create two, RGB & CMYK using image processor pro. Read this if anyone is interested; https://indesignsecrets.com/import-rgb-images-indesign-convert-cmyk-export.php

Hi Guys, Quick question about the value of compressing images within indesign, I’d designed an A4 2-page flyer ready for print and decided to play around with some setting to see the outcome, Usually, I leave the compression as default which is ‘bicubic downsampling’ to 300 – 450 ppi which give me a 2.33MB file, then I decided to create the same file but I used ‘Do not downsample’ and had got a 724MB file. Now with the file that was not downsampled, you can zoom right into the small photo’s on the cover and will it retain the native pixels and with the compressed version once zoomed in you’ve obviously got less pixels. From the actual viewing distance, you can’t see the difference unless you digitally zoom in, so I know from experience that ‘bicubic downsampling’ to 300 – 450 ppi is fine for printing. My question is, when is it good practice to use the ‘Do not downsample’ option? On a much bigger print like a motorway banner? Or have I been outputting incorrectly all these years and should be using this? Just need some context! Finally, compression > Jpeg? Or none? I create all my images as CYMK .tiffs and as mentioned I usually leave compression as default on all options which is jpeg but had never really noticed you could change it so which is the best option for print? Many thanks for any advise, the picture below is for context.

Bitmap is also rasterising the image, which again will convert your beautiful crisp vector into pixel, without looking at the image I’d assume this will output the unwanted result. I think as a designer it’s your duty to advise your client what they’re asking is wrong, and not best practise, then you can politely explain what the best option would be. It sounds like they don’t really know what they’re talking about as converting an image from 300x300 to 300x600 is only going to stretch the image out or leave 150px of white space either side of the logo.

To my knowledge, this is not possible – As you’re saving it as a .jpeg this will flatten the image and any text will essentially become an image, not text. What you’re referring to, I’ve done before however when I’d created it I’d done my background image in Ai and where the coupon code text is I would have that as HTML and a little bit of CSS

Well no, With a Vector within illustrator you can scale up and down as much as you’d like – Set your canvas to 300x600, import your vector, scale it to fit, export as > Jpeg If it’s a company logo, they will more than likely have some sort of .Ai file to work with – What they’re asking you to do with an image is near impossible without bad end results. Also as mentioned the dpi has little to nothing to do with the image especially if it’s going onto their website. Not teaching you or your client to suck eggs but ; In printing, DPI (dots per inch) refers to the output resolution of a printer or imagesetter, and PPI (pixels per inch) refers to the input resolution of a photograph or image.

This is a batch editing process and is very simple with Photoshop, First, you should gather all your images into a folder, then open PS and go File > Scripts > Image processing Pretty self-explanatory from here but brief overview; Select folder to read from, then select folder to save to. For you, you’ll want to pay attention to the ‘Resize to Fit’ option, say 500 x 500 it will scale all the images you previously selected to match this without cutting or trimming the image at all. Hit ‘Run’ after you’re happy with your options and let PS do its thing. Hopefully, this is what you’re after!

Go To Image > Mode and make sure you’re using 8-bit channel or 16-bit, 32-bit does not support Jpeg images.

What program are you using? I'm going to assume it's nothing to do with illustrator. Please be more specific, so we can move this to the correct forum.

You can also turn off the brush leash in the Cursors panel of your Preferences > Cursors This will allow you to continue using smoothing without the pink leash.

This feature is new to 2018 and is called the “brush leash” The pink brush leash is meant to serve as a guide for the Smoothing feature of the Brush Tool. Turning Smoothing down to 0% removes the pink line and restores the brush tool to the original version. You can also turn off the brush leash in the Cursors panel of your Preferences > Cursors You can also change the colour if you wanted to Edit: Here is a 6-minute video explaining how to use it effectively and what it's actually for; What Is That Purple Line On My Brush Tool In Photoshop CC2018? - YouTube

Hello, I'd created a catalogue back in the end of 2016 for our 2017 catalogue, it was a bit of a pain getting all the products, product names and bullets points for each product into the catalogue but I finally did it. I've now been tasked with creating 2018's catalogue, I'm hoping there will be a quick way to export all the products, names and bullet points into the 2018 catalogue without having to reformat it all. The design is vastly different but image size remains the same so, that help I guess... Any workaround, please forward an article or some video i can watch

To my knowledge, there is no way of changing information between different files on photoshop - Indesign this is possible to a degree. If you only have access to photoshop you could perhaps create an action, but you're limited as to what you can do and it's very hit and miss. Failing that, unfortunately (at least to my knowledge) you're stuck manually doing it.
