Introduction

In this episode, we'll master all the fitting commands to make photos fit perfectly within a frame, including auto-fit which automatically adjusts when the frame is resized. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the Complete Adobe InDesign Series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Almost every photo needs to be adjusted to fit its frame. Instead of resizing manually, use precise fitting commands.

Step 1: Image not properly fitted

Open the catalog file. Four frames contain product photos, but their sizes are not matching. Some are too large and get cropped, while others are too small and leave empty space.

Step 2: Fill Frame Proportionally

Select the first frame, then go to Object, Fitting, Fill Frame Proportionally, or press Alt-Shift-Control-C. The photo is scaled to fill the entire frame without distortion. A small part of the photo may be cropped, but there's no empty space.

Step 3: Fit Content Proportionally

Select the second frame and click the Fit Content Proportionally icon on the Control Panel. The entire photo is visible within the frame, but there may be empty space on certain sides. Suitable for product photos that cannot be cropped.

Step 4: Fit Frame to Content

Select the third frame and click Fit Frame to Content. This time, the frame adjusts its size to fit the photo. Then click Center Content to center the photo in the fourth frame. Check Auto Fit in the Control Panel for the first frame.

Step 5: Auto-Fit

Now drag the frame's handle to change its size. The photo automatically adjusts according to the last fitting setting, no need to reconfigure. For frames that are still empty, select Object, Fitting, Frame Fitting Option.

Step 6: Frame Fitting Options

Select Fitting Fill Frame Proportionally and Align from Center. Then click OK. Any photo placed in this frame will automatically fit perfectly. Done.

Done!

We've already used Fill Frame Proportionally, Fit Content Proportionally, Fit Frame to Content, Center Content, Auto Fit, and Frame Fitting Options. In the next episode, we'll place multiple photos at once in a grid. Need a layout design for a magazine, book, brochure, product catalog, company profile, or annual report?
