Now, here's a cool trick that I often use : if you add a locked element in the library, Indd will put it right where it's supposed to go (make sure you select the right page though). As a alternative workflow, you could also place your header and image placeholder as an element in a library.Then go Preferences > General and uncheck 'Prevent Selection of Locked Objects'. In order to lock position of your placeholders, you must select them in your Master page and lock them.I'm really not sure what you mean by 'slug/layer names' Place them on a separate layer in order to override them all in one go. To make the variable/caption active, you must override the master text frames. If you put the frame that holds the metadata variable in your Master spread, it will behave like a Master element, meaning it will be sort of 'locked' and won't relate to the image in your normal pages.A 'New Document' dialog box will appear with a variety of settings, so make sure that the Document Preset is 'Default', and that the Intent is set to 'Print' if you plan on printing the document.

Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, etc Its easy to make a quick collage. First, launch InDesign and start a new document by choosing 'File' > 'New' > 'Document'.

InDesign loads all the images into the Place cursor.

A metadata variable must touch (or intersect) the related graphic. Whether youre looking for a custom picture id, employee ID card. Then, return to your document page, choose File > Place, select all the images in the Place dialog box (click on the first, then Shift-click on the last), and click Open.
