DCS previews in InDesign

[Gregg]

Has anyone else noticed that the previews for DCS files in ID are awful, even in High Quality Display.

Is there an extension that improves the preview? Or a better way to save the DCS file for use in ID. Right now I save them as Single file (w/72 dpi composite) using binary data.

Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Gregg,

Place PSD files instead. No need to use DCS files.....

Great point. There's not much need for DCS files anymore, is there?

Not really. unless you use Quark.

Try saving your DCS 2.0 file with No Preview file. It should work fine then.
