1. Re: Low resolution image previews in ID CS4
Petteri_Paananen Jun 22, 2009 6:18 PM (in response to myDwayneSmith)How is your high quality display working? If you select one of those images, right-click it (or ctrl-clic if you have mouse with only one button) and select Diplay Performance>High Quality Display. Does it look ok?

myDwayneSmith Jun 22, 2009 8:08 PM (in response to Petteri_Paananen)High quality display is working fine — both on image-by-image basis, and globally.

myDwayneSmith Jun 22, 2009 8:37 PM (in response to myDwayneSmith)My apologies...
I should also say this behaviour is not consistent across all images — the frog shown is particularly bad, some others are not as bad as this, and some are only slightly worse than they were previously.
Two other things:
The frog is in a layered psd with a transparent background. When the psd is flattened, it previews correctly in InDesign.
It will also preview correctly in InDesign if the resolution of the layered psd is changed to 72ppi.

4. Re: Low resolution image previews in ID CS4
Petteri_Paananen Jun 22, 2009 9:18 PM (in response to myDwayneSmith)is it 8-bit? sometimes 16-bit mode has caused problems with extracted PSD-images...

myDwayneSmith Jun 22, 2009 9:37 PM (in response to Petteri_Paananen)Thanks for your time.
Yes — definitely 8-bit. The image in the screen grabs is cmyk, but we also work with rgb images — with the same issues.
Layered psd versions definitely (and consistently) preview rougher in InDesign than their flattened psd or tif counterparts.

Petteri_Paananen Jun 23, 2009 12:16 AM (in response to myDwayneSmith)Now I saw your screenshots, first one looks even too good, like high quality. When I have used extracted PSD images with typical quality, they seem more like image in your second and third screenshot (I use CS4). It has been a while since I use CS2 so I don´t remember was it really so much better with extracted PSD images.

myDwayneSmith Oct 20, 2009 4:20 PM (in response to Petteri_Paananen)After a few months of using CS4 we've simply come to the conclusion that, as Petteri_Paananen suggested, the exceptional previews we were getting previously were anomalies and what we're seeing now is normal behaviour (which we've just become used to). Thanks
