Placing images into InDesign
In this recipe, you will learn how to place images into InDesign. We will add individual images into a frame, learn how to add an image without a pre-existing frame, and even look at bringing in multiple images all at once.
Getting ready
In order to complete this recipe, simply open InDesign on your system and create a new document with 12 pages, as shown in the Creating a new document recipe from Chapter 1. You should be comfortable creating both single and multiple frames on your page, as covered in Chapter 4, Using the Frame Tools in InDesign.
