Importing format options
If you select Show Import Options when placing a bitmap graphic, you'll see a dialog box
containing these options:
Apply Photoshop Clipping Path Importing a clipping path that is saved with an image
created in Photoshop gives you the ability to directly select an image and modify its path
without changing the graphic frame. If this option isn't available, the image was not saved
with a clipping path, or the file format does not support clipping paths. If your bitmap
image does not have a clipping path, you can create one automatically in InDesign; see
"Using clipping paths to remove backgrounds from imported graphics" on page
Image imported without clipping path (left) and with clipping path (right)
Color settings for all bitmap formats
You can apply color management options to individual imported graphics when using
color management tools with your document. The following options are available when
placing a bitmap graphic if you select Show Import Options, and then select Color
Settings in the Import Image Options dialog box:
Enable Color Management Select this option to apply color management to the
graphic you're importing, and to activate the other options in this panel. Deselect this
option if consistent color is not required for this graphic.
Profile If Use Embedded is selected, leave this option unchanged. Otherwise, choose a
color source profile that matches the gamut of the device or software used to create the
graphic. This profile enables InDesign to properly translate its color to the gamut of the
output device. (See "Obtaining, installing, and updating color profiles" on page
Rendering Intent Choose a method for scaling the color range of the graphic to the color
range of the output device. Typically, you'll choose Perceptual (Images), because it
accurately represents colors in photographs. The Saturation (Graphics), Relative Colori-
metric, and Absolute Colorimetric options are better for areas of solid color, and do not
reproduce photographs well. For a description of each Intent option, see
management" on page
Adobe Illustrator (.AI)
Artwork in Adobe Illustrator 5.5 and later can be placed directly into an InDesign layout.
When you place an Illustrator 9.0 and later graphic using the Show Import Options dialog
box, the options are identical to those for PDF files; see
When you place an Illustrator 5.5–8.0 graphic, the options are identical to those for EPS
files; see "EPS (.EPS)" on page
If an Adobe Illustrator version 9.0 and later file contains transparent objects, the trans-
parency is preserved and will allow underlying artwork to show through.
