extracting images indesign

[brioo]

Anyone know how to get the pixel values of an image in indesign? i'm able to use any other unit of measure (picas,point,mm, etc) but not pixels.

The assignment that i got requires to find the topLeft/bottomRight x,y pixel values for each image in a catalog then import the values to a xml file. I been using a different unit of measure (points) for this asignment. I got all my x,y values as points and then used a converter to changed them in pixels. Anyone know of a more easy way in doing this within indesign?

thx

The measurements in ID are of the frame holding the image. You can use the info palette to see the ppi of an image which is set by the camera or an image editing program.


"A pixel is really nothing more than a piece of information. A pixel describes where it is located in the grid and what color it is.

Pixels, in a digital image, do not have a "Height" or "Width" that can be measured with a ruler. This is because they are pieces of information, rather than a physical thing that can be measured.

Once the picture is assembled on your Monitor or assembled for Printing, ONLY then can you measure it with a ruler."
