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.

A. 

Optimized

B.

 Typical

C. 

High Quality

Adjusting display group settings 

Using the Display Performance dialog box, define the settings for each display group, 
adjusting the values for raster images, vector graphics, and transparency, and then apply 
these settings to the window, individual image, or graphic.

To define display performance settings:

1

Select Edit > Preferences > Display Performance (Windows and Mac OS 9), or 

InDesign > Preferences > Display Performance (Mac OS 10.1).

2

In the Default View Settings section, select Typical, Optimized, or High Quality. Default 

View Settings will be automatically applied to each new window.

3

In the Adjust View Settings section, select a display group, and then adjust the 

following options:

Raster Images Slider

Controls the display of bitmap images using one of three options:

•

Gray Out draws an image as a gray box.

•

Proxy draws images at proxy resolution (72 dpi).
