Controlling image display quality and performance
Use the Display Performance settings to balance display speed and quality. You can
specify the quality of how raster images, vector graphics, and transparencies are drawn.
These settings give you more control over screen display performance and quality without
compromising your printed output. The setting can then be applied to each window
(View) or a local setting can be applied to individual page items. The following display
settings are available:
Optimized Draws a raster image or vector graphic as a gray box (default). Use this
option when you want to quickly page through spreads that have lots of images or trans-
parency effects.
Typical Draws a low-resolution proxy image (default) appropriate for identifying and
positioning an image or vector graphic. Typical is the default option, and is the fastest way
to display an identifiable image.
High Quality Draws a raster image or vector graphic at High Resolution (default). This
option provides the highest quality but the slowest performance. Use this option when
you want to fine-tune an image.
Note: Image display options don't affect output resolution when exporting or printing
images within an InDesign document. When printing to a PostScript device or exporting to
HTML, EPS, or PDF files, the final image resolution depends on the output options you
choose when you print or export the file.
