When you need an image for a layout, you can search thousands of stock photos from multiple image libraries in Adobe® Stock Photos, right from within Adobe InDesign®. Try several images in your layout before deciding which one you want to buy. It’s so easy, you’ll find yourself browsing images just to get your creative juices flowing1. From InDesign, begin a search by choosing File > Browse from InDesign (or clicking Adobe Stock Photos in the Favorites pane in Adobe Bridge).2. Perform a general search using the text box, or refine your results using the Advanced Search. Your searches are automatically saved.3. As you view the search results, click Download Comp to download free, low-resolution image comps. Then view the downloaded comps by clicking the Downloaded Comps icon.
4. Once you choose an image, simply drag it from Bridge directly into your InDesign file. Select Switch To Compact Mode in Bridge to shrink the window so that it can float above other applications like a palette.
 
5. When a comp is placed into InDesign, a special icon in the Links palette appears beside the file name to indicate that the image is an Adobe Stock Photos comp image. Choose Link File Info in the Links palette menu to view the file’s metadata.
6. After the layout is approved, purchase the high-resolution image to replace the comp directly from InDesign by choosing Purchase This Image from the Links palette menu. The image is automatically added to your shopping cart and presented to you. (To purchase multiple images, click the Shopping Cart icon in Adobe Stock Photos.)7. Log into your account or sign in as a guest to complete the purchase. 8. You can download the high-resolution image immediately or choose to download it at a more convenient time. All downloaded, purchased images are placed in your Purchased Images folder located in the Favorites panel of Bridge under Adobe Stock Photos.
