Image resolution. HELP!

[karinel91259814]

When I export an InDesign file to pdf (press quality) my images gets blury and pixelated. Why? They are perfect resolution in indesign..

image size 300 ppi.

[Derek Cross]

Is the Effective resolution of your image in InDesign 300PPI?

Are you selecting Press Quality for a specific reason?

How's the quality like when you export to PDF/X-4?

Hi karinel,

Please try High Quality preset instead of press quality, secondly please check if compression values are below 300 PPI?

Regards

As Derek said: is 300 ppi the EFFECTIVE resoltion?

my images gets blury and pixelated. Why?

If you scaled the image to something less than 100% its resolution will increase relative to the scaling. The default Export>Compression settings for the print related presets will downsample any image with a scaled (effective) resolution greater than 450ppi.

If you want the scaled image to export unchanged, you might have to set Color and Grayscale images to Do Not Downsample and set Compression to None.
