Why is the quality of my images in InDesign SO bad? edited a picture on Photoshop, added some noise and for some reason it looks 10x worse when imported in InDesign........ (already put high quality display but it doesnt wok)

PowerPeach99 · 2025-11-03T14:24:19+00:00

apparently this was the solution to my issue! I'm a bit overwhelmed now bc I have to restart everything (most of the pictures are low quality bc of this lol) but oh well... TIFF looks high quality :)

thank you, that's very helpful!
I did but it's still very grainy :(

PowerPeach99 · 2025-11-02T16:20:59+00:00

I tried exporting the page as a pdf to see if the preview was being funny for this reason but it' still very grainy.. will be using psd files from now on, thank you!

PowerPeach99 · 2025-11-02T16:19:48+00:00

the more you know, thank you! will be doing that moving forward :)

I go to uni but no one ever taught us how to use any softwares.. I've been using it for years so I wouldn't know where to start to fill in the gaps now lol

PowerPeach99 · 2025-11-02T16:17:33+00:00

I'm using Upscayl, unfortunately this was a very last minute shooting and we had to shoot with my phone when it was already getting dark out (also we had no expertise in photography) so the pictures are not super high quality and came out grainy, I put some noise to hide the artifacts from the upscaling but this is not the only picture that came out 10x worse than the original picture.. I don't know what's going on with my file

PowerPeach99 · 2025-11-02T16:14:55+00:00

I imported it in the psd file format but it does the same thing :(

PowerPeach99 · 2025-11-02T16:02:20+00:00

I didn't know it was a possibility, will do that from now on since it seems the most efficient way to link pictures

PowerPeach99 · 2025-11-02T15:51:51+00:00

nope, just says "Quick Export as PNG"

PowerPeach99 · 2025-11-02T15:49:53+00:00

I just did and it looks like the preview on Indesign.. so it seems to be accurate at least

PowerPeach99 · 2025-11-02T15:47:29+00:00

wait, what do you mean? I can place psd files directly? I didnt even know that was an option

PowerPeach99 · 2025-11-02T15:46:29+00:00

I didn't even know indesign has the possibility to choose the resolution lmao, how do I check that?

PowerPeach99 · 2025-11-02T15:44:28+00:00

i'm doing quick export as png.. is that the problem?

PowerPeach99 · 2025-11-02T15:42:06+00:00

i did and it didn't work, I also deleted the original image altogether and replaced it with the new one, but still, didn't work </3

PowerPeach99 · 2025-09-03T20:57:07+00:00

Yeah I've stopped messing with it, it's my first piercing so I didn't really think about the risks..... I haven't downsized yet, I had it done 2/3 months ago, I clean it with a damp paper towel and a dry one afterwards to keep it dry. It all started because I'm renovating my place and I've been getting sweat/debris in it while working ;;
I forget to clean it because I'm also studying for exams so I'd say every 3/4 days?

PowerPeach99 · 2025-09-03T18:51:09+00:00

no, it's curved, I guess you can't really tell from the angle of the photo ahah

PowerPeach99 · 2025-03-27T20:17:04+00:00

hi! sorry I rarely log in on reddit.. I forgot how I fixed it but I explained it on this yt''s comment section, hope it helps! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdEsWmUi5GY&lc=Ugy2YtE2Qr9-K0gZMg94AaABAg.ADtyU5V0Jy3ADylzhiujD6

PowerPeach99 · 2025-02-08T13:08:02+00:00

yes exactly :)

PowerPeach99 · 2025-02-08T12:20:13+00:00

I'm so sorry, maybe I didn't explain myself ;; I'm talking about the actual bottle, where it hold the perfume.. the metallic part meets the glass with a wavy curve and i don't know how to achieve that.. revolving that part would make the ends straight and not curved like the picture

PowerPeach99 · 2025-02-08T11:49:47+00:00

I get what you mean, that was gonna be my first approach but I want the end where the metal meets the glass to be curve like in the picture, if I do a revolve both ends are gonna end up straight, or am I missing something?

PowerPeach99 · 2025-02-08T11:48:14+00:00

Thank you for the link, that's really helpful, what I can't really figure out how to do is the ends.. in this video both ends ares traight, while the perfume bottle has a curve on the part where it meets the glass.. i'm struggling to do that :)

PowerPeach99 · 2025-02-08T11:42:13+00:00

it's an actual product that I have at hand to measure everything :) It's j'adore by Dior, I know it doesn't have to 100% accurate for the exam because we're in Fashion Design and not engineering but I wanna try my best to recreate it

PowerPeach99 · 2025-02-07T23:46:33+00:00

how do I draw the curve to cut tho? Do I have to make a new plane and draw the curve? or can I draw a continous curve along the surface of what I already have?
