Thanks so much for the kind comments! And I am glad you learned a lot in the course! I do like to get to the point right away and teach the theory by using practice. Students enjoy putting what they learn into practice pretty quickly. Let me know if you have any questions.

For placing multiple images in the grid pattern, how do you keep the grid proportionally?

[@josema2007]

[@michaelsrowland]

how do you add text to a page that already has an image on? or do you put the text on first then add the image

[@munkhbatenkh-amgalan8027]

nice uploaded video thanks for man✔✔✔

[@roxannetamberlane6501]

This is really great and easy to understand! The only problem I had was the southern way of talking, although nice, the lilt kind of fades off at the end and I had to keep turning up my speakers when his voice would get too soft.

[@hannaho888]

Hi thanks for the great vid! I am just a bit lost at the PSD image. I am a Mac user, and don't have a PSD image, how do I make the edit my image with formats like PDFs or JPEG? Thanks :)

[@GoodCreativeAcademy]

Hi Hanna I just saw this. PSD is a Photoshop file format. So, if you have a PDF or JPEG, those can also be placed into InDesign, no worries. We have more options with PSD like placing specific layers, but with JPG or PNG (raster formats), we can also resize the images or image frames in InDesign, too. Thanks! -Chad

[@mushafnaveed7932]

Thanks u so much God

[@ajmalartistryandwriteupsam4878]

Intriguing stuff

[@frankiechia3446]

The images i open in indesign is so small that i have to scale it up. But as i do that the image gets pixelated. Where can i get large format images for an A4 size layout?

[@ordazmin]

Hi there, can you please tell me why my 8.5x11 jpg image looks huge & I have to resize it when I place an image on a 8.5x11 InDesign document EVERY TIME! ??? Thank you!

[@GoodCreativeAcademy]

It might be the ppi, how many pixels per inch? (In Photoshop, Image>Image Size). It's better to have a larger file and make it smaller than the reverse though, of course.

[@maheshsoni3410]

how to convert indesign in knight mode

[@AndrossMoonah]

I thought InDesign was only for print work. It can be used for online magazines, too?? Thank you for the upload.

[@claudioabado6246]

Excellent, quick intro to importing images in InDesign. I wish you would refrain from using the term "Embed" as this term does not mean "place and image in some shape" but refers to an import technique which copies the entire image content within InDesign, as opposed to the normal "Place-Link" technique.

[@renaurestauranttech]

How would you move the bear image into the other portait image space? Such as working with tempaltes?

[@lgambis]

Cool--I am making a book of crossword puzzle that are always the same size. How would I import them and 1.Make sure they are all the same size AND 2. All in the same position?

[@EmmaStrongFilms]

Urgent help needed!! Why can't I drag my images???

[@manuelamendes5417]

thank youu, now someone explain to me why the default does the last thing you’d want to, and to move it and change the size normally i have to hold ctrl and shift?

[@gunguy5054]

can you change the grid so in of 3 by its 2 by give?

[@daytodaywithvikas7994]

What is tha size of the frame?

[@taylorjohnson5761]

I’m working with a magazine issue that wants to use my work, however I’m confused as what they mean when they say they don’t want “square” images... can someone help. I have to resize down to 8.5x11 format with high resolution.

[@TheMightyWolve]

Use a speed of 1.5 to go through the lesson faster, save time in the process and still learn :)

[@jonathanclarke5763]

where did the feature go wehre you can see the entire image as you move it within the frame?

[@wooliguns]

how do u remove the rectangle that u drew?

[@jarinarahim2487]

Sir which app??

[@justbmg]

Adobe Indesign

[@MT-sk1ln]

What if you want to place an image partly UNDER another image?

[@gabbyvg.9067]

How do i add pages?

[@gabbyvg.9067]

Found it. Gosh why am I so Great??

[@GoodCreativeAcademy]

Hi Gabby, yes there are a few ways to add pages, up at the top menu, or just press the Add New Page Icon on the Pages Panel. Chad

[@leomac1829]

how about videos......how to i fit videos in indesign, i mean the ideal frame size

[@Broockle]

So why is it when I place my image it just instantly pixelates? I drag it to be super big, I just click like you did, it's pixelated. In Photoshop I'd hit enter that it would give me the full resolution, is it something like that?

[@GoodCreativeAcademy]

If an image is resized to be larger than the original dimensions (width and height) then it will pixelate, especially if it's resized to be much larger. In InDesign, if you just click instead of click and drag when placing the image, it will place it at the original dimensions. Or check the dimensions in the properties of the image. In Photoshop, if we go to Image>Image Size it will indicate dimensions and also resolution in terms of PPI, or pixels per inch. If an image is 4 inches by 5 inches and it's stretched to be 12 inches by 15 inches in an InDesign layout, it will pixelate because of the upsampling, especially if there is a lower PPI like 72 ppi for the web, but even with more detail such as with 150 or 300 ppi it can pixelate if resized a lot larger than original.

[@Broockle]

@@GoodCreativeAcademy eh........ of course I can't replicate this on good old' Adobe CS6 xD Here everything works the way I think it should. I was using the 2020 version the other day at my school. The new Photoshop is really weird too. Not sure if I'll get used to it. Selecting an object in a layer without selecting the layer? Blasphemous. ;D

[@wanderingseth]

Why do NONE of the InDesign versions I see on these videos match the one I have? I can't follow anything.

[@mizzcrazygal]

All I needed to do was click FILE - PLACE omfgfffgg it’s that easy?????? I’ve been going CRAZY trying to figure out why my Ai file won’t open I’m In Design... 🙄

[@GoodCreativeAcademy]

Yep, we can place AI or EPS files from Illustrator, or PSD from Photoshop, or raster images like PNG or JPG into InDesign by going to File>Place.

[@rosegold-beats]

i hate how this program works with pictures

[@CookieZ3353]

Gosh I wish you guys would just slow down....especially your cursor movements

[@GoodCreativeAcademy]

Hi Carolyn, thanks for the feedback, some learners like quicker pace and some like slower, at least according to feedback on my courses. I suggest using the video player controls here on KZbin which can slow down or speed up the narration, it can be helpful. Some also pause the videos to follow along.
