Overview of this book

Adobe InDesign is the leading desktop publishing and layout software for producing brochures, magazines, flyers, books, posters, and a wide range of digital documents. It allows you to rapidly draft your documents with precise control over typography, images, positioning, alignment, color, and other interactive features. However, InDesign’s interface, tools, and workflows can be a bit challenging to get to grips with. This cookbook will assist you in building unparalleled InDesign workflows with tried and tested recipes. With Designing the Adobe InDesign Way, you’ll learn how to add and edit content, create color swatches, and use features such as tables, all while applying software best practices and techniques to ensure that your work is fast, efficient, and easily maintained. Additionally, you’ll explore advanced InDesign features such as text styles, parent pages, tables of contents, and pre-flighting. Finally, you’ll take a closer look at the many export options in InDesign and ways to truly maximize its capabilities. By the end of this book, you’ll be well equipped to draft and design your own projects while ensuring your work is compatible with industry standards for print and digital documents.

Placing images into InDesign

In this recipe, you will learn how to place images into InDesign. We will add individual images into a frame, learn how to add an image without a pre-existing frame, and even look at bringing in multiple images all at once.

Getting ready

In order to complete this recipe, simply open InDesign on your system and create a new document with 12 pages, as shown in the Creating a new document recipe from Chapter 1. You should be comfortable creating both single and multiple frames on your page, as covered in Chapter 4, Using the Frame Tools in InDesign.

How to do it…

In order to place images into your document, follow these steps:

  1. Using the Elliptical Frame tool, create an elliptical frame on your page. Then, with the frame still selected, go to the File menu and select Place (or press Ctrl (PC)/Cmd (Mac) + D) to bring up the Place dialog box, as seen in Figure 5.1:
