Exporting or Saving for InDesign after creating in Photoshop CS2 ?

[Acknowledged74]

Hi


I have created a design mainly using dingbat fonts in Photoshop CS2 and want to save it (I think as a TIFF) for use in InDesign CS5.

I have tried but when I 'place' to TIFF image in InDesign the quality looks terrible, can someone please advice on what i might be doing wrong?

The documnet has been created as 600dpi, A5 so 21cm x 14.8cm and I have the colour set for CMYK.

When I'm saving the file I'm offered TIFF options, including image compression, for which I have chosen JPG and Maximum quality 12, I've attached a screenshot of the TIFF options.

As I say any help you can provide who be greatly appreciated, the design if for a brochure and it needs to be as clear as the software will allow.

Regards

Ash

I would say your dpi is way to high maybe 72 or 300 maximum for a5

Um 72 dpi is for the internet, this is for glossy magazine.

Any other ideas ?

Have you tried placing the PSD file into InDesign, instead of saving it out as a TIF?

You can actually just use the psd file and that will have the 300/600dpi quality for printing ?

First time I've heard this.
