Does it work with transparent PSD images? I mean if I cut a fragment of an image in Photoshop and then paste it in InDesign, will it have white background behind?

[jonathansross]

@Sanyadr Actually, you never want to copy/paste from Photoshop (or any other app) to go into InDesign. You should save the PSD file and "import/place" into InDesign. The transparency should work great then.

@jonathansross Thank a lot!

Might I ask, are you using Camtasia?

[jonathansross]

@Freakonomix24 - Sure. I use the pro version of screencast-o-matic. Love it. Very effective and flexible.

@RoyalAlba1 You can place a video into InDesign to use in a pdf (as a multimedia element). You would not want the video to be too large though.

where do I find those images.. did you upload the archive somewhere? 

[jonathansross]

@theswedishshemale I did put the archive online, but can't paste in a url in the comment box here. ;(

thanks for these excellent tutorials ... a couple small questions: 1) how does indesign allow you to select two images at once, you say it and i see it but the actual keystrokes still weren't clear to me. 2) in my version on a powerbook, there is a slight wave in the text with the 6 column format -- is this just a screen issue or is the wave actually part of the image -- the wave occurs exactly where the two vertical lines denoting the columns are ... how to pop in video tutorial for inD?

[Mankind5490]

DUDE you don't even know how much you have helped me with your tutorials... THANK YOU SO MUCH

[jonathansross]

@Mankind5490 You are welcome!

[jonathansross]

qoul2000 you are right. For professional print you should target at least 300 dpi to size. However, as we are rapidly moving towards digital publications, appropriate resolutions may vary.

[WeareFOTO]

@jonathansross Apologies, I didn't mean to vote down. I misclicked whilst browsing.

[qoul2000]

This is nice tut thanks ..... but 150 dpi for printing no way ...

you need your photos to be 300 dpi to be printed ??

Thanks
