Production Speed: Images & Links in Adobe InDesign

This course will be free to watch while streaming live on YouTube on 8/13/2026 from 7:00–9:00 PM EST and will be available for purchase after the event.

Production Speed: Images & Links in Adobe InDesign is an intensive technical workshop designed to help you eliminate broken paths, blurry graphics, and unexpected layout shifts when working with external assets.

InDesign does not embed images by default; it links to them. This crucial distinction can make or break a publishing workflow. In this session, you’ll learn how to import high-resolution graphics, manage the relationship between images and their frames, and use the Links panel to organize, track, and package large-scale design projects without losing data.

By understanding how InDesign handles linked assets, resolution, color profiles, and fitting options, you’ll be able to prevent common file errors and build a faster, more reliable production workflow.

What You'll Learn

• Master the relationship between graphic containers and the images inside them.
• Apply responsive frame fitting options to automate layout adjustments.
• Use the Links panel to track asset statuses, update modified graphics, and fix broken paths.
• Manage image resolution, color profiles, and layer visibility directly inside InDesign.

Who It's For

• Production artists who want to prevent missing files, broken links, and layout errors.
• Catalog designers managing large numbers of images and external assets.
• Desktop publishers who want to better understand print resolution requirements.
• InDesign users looking to speed up and improve their asset management workflow.
