: How to export large amount of objects to separate images in InDesign? I have this photo album with two layers, layouted in InDesign (CS6): On the first layer I have all the graphic elements

Darn. This ALMOST fixed my problem.
But, in my case, I wanted to export the images with the same name as the originals (we rename with serial numbers for the merchandise images).

They were exported with their original filenames (plus a suffix, but easy to deal with using a batch renamer).
HOWEVER,
The quality is considerably lower than just exporting as JPG, even after exploring the different JPG settings.

Narrowed them down to these "optimal" settings:


JPG export: Meduim quality, progressive, 72 dpi, RGB, anti-alias, embed color profile (sRGB IEC...~) >>resulting file size: 49 Kb





HTML export Image: optimised, Medium, progressive, 96 dpi, (cropped as layout, etc.) >>resulting file size: 59.6 Kb, and still looks a lower quality.
HTML export Image: at High quality, 72dpi, file size is 84.9 Kb, but has way lower quality vs. JPG export.

Just needed some tweaking for my own needs. (72dpi, Medium quality, etc.)

Since you'll want to export them as cropped, the one step method would be File > Export > HTML.

Set the image resolution at whatever you need for your project, use jpeg export and the highest quality output (all set in the Export dialog). You can toss the HTML file and CSS folder and use just the images.

If your photographs have captions (it looks like they do) and you don't mind rasterizing the text, group each one with its caption, right click the group and select "Object Export Options". On the HTML and ePub tab, select "Custom Rasterization" and set the resolution and quality as before. Caption and image will now be rasterized as a single image on export.
