Cool InDesign - Quick and dirty image placement

[explordigitlprepress]

It's easier to drag and copy using the move tool with the option key held down to make duplicate text and picture boxes.

Questions. When placing a image example a celfone taken with a white background and when placing it to Indesign white background is showing up and I dont want the white background to be seen after placing the image. thanks!

I agree with Tonya, use the Fitting options to speed up your process and get more efficient. Nice tutorial!

Why do you not use the Fill Frame Proportionally option to size the pics down inside the frames? Seems it would be a little bit easier than shift-clicking and resizing manually, esp if source images are bigger than the InDesign project file.

@tonyaskinner75 This was the question I had. Was there some advantage to all the manual sizing versus fill proportionally? I would think even if the proportional fill wasn't exactly what you wanted, it would be an easier place to start your manual sizing than from the full image.

Thank you. I'm learning InDesign on my own and any bit helps.
