: InDesign: image gets cropped when i try to move it around New to InDesign. When I place an image in Indesign and try to move it on the page I lose whatever part of the image to the direction

@Tiffany317

Select your object. In the menu bar select Object > Fitting > Fit Frame to Content (Command-Option-C). This will get the frame back to its original position.

According to your photo you are using the direct selection tool (white arrow) which selects either just the frame or just the contents, rather than the selection tool (black arrow) which selects the entire box, inside and outside.

The answer is already posted but since you're new at this let me give you an extra hand. What you need to do is use the first arrow (not the second) from the vertical toolbar on the left edge of your screenshot. You can also select this tool by hitting V on your keyboard.

The first arrow selects the image container, while the second arrow selects the image inside the container. This is also explained in detail in the official support pages.

Everything in InDesign is inside of boxes except text. You can either move the whole box or just the content inside of that box.

In order to move the whole box you just need to use the Selection-Tool (the "black" mouse) and move your image. You used the Direct Selection (the "white" mouse).
