: Can I set DPI per image/page as opposed to document-wide in InDesign? I am making a book with some of my photography. I have not been blessed with the best camera in the world so my images

I am making a book with some of my photography. I have not been blessed with the best camera in the world so my images range between 1100px squared to 2000px squared. The print size per image will be approximately 7 inches (17cm). Now for my 1100px images, I will need a DPI of 150 max, however for my 2000px images I could push it to 285DPI but would probably just settle with 250DPI.

Is it possible to set the DPI per image or rather per page as each page will have one image on it? For example: page one 150DPI, page 2 200DPI etc.

Indesign reads the PPI of the placed image and does not alter it anywhere. Place your images at the desired PPI.You can not change an image PPI from within Indesign.

Although, mixing PPI this way is a bit unnecessary. I do not understand why you would want some images to appear better than others. More PPI simply means better image quality.

For commercial printing a minimum PPI is 300. For many home inkjets, anything above 150ppi is overkill and unwarranted.
