InDesign Workshop

Mass production/Commercial Printing specifications:

• 300 dpi
• Actual Size
• CMYK or Greymode 
• .tiff or .psd (not image files)

Notes

Always untick "Resample" checkbox on Photoshop when resizing resolution.

When saving an image to put on Indesign, it needs to be saved as a tiff or psd.

Resize full-page images to the bleed to prevent issues with trimming. 

Properties and frame fitting allows the image to be resized to frame automatically.

Need to open Window --> Links to show image/text sources *need to keep all the indesign information in one folder to keep this simple. (Links info (might need to drag the window down it shows all the Graphics information.)

*If effective dpi is not 300 then need to look at scale percentage then go back to photoshop and resize the image to this percentage with the correct dpi. (Properties palette - click Edit With.) Photoshop - image size - change sizing to percent - insert indesign percentage *must tick Resample - This makes the image Actual Size. (Maximum Print Quality and Print Efficiency)
