Spotting RGB & low res images in Indesign

[halthewalker]

Is there a process whereby I can detect in an indesign document whether or not there are any RGB pics or Images below a certain DPI?

Resolution is tricky. There is a free plugin out there that attempts to check this but it simply checks to see that an image frame is not scaled above a user-defined percentage.

For the images: One trick if you have Photoshop 7 is to package up the ID so you have its images folder. Then import that folder into PS browse. You then have all the images on the browser window. When you click on each all info, including resolution is displayed in the bottom left pane of the PS browser.

If you use a Powermac, it might have come with Graphics Converter. You can also use its Browse folder commnad to do the same thing as I described for PS7. You can download and buy Graphic Converter (a very powerful Mac app) for 30 dollars at

It's $30 well spent - if you have a mac.
