ID Tip #304: Importing Multiple Images
When it comes to importing, you've got Apple+E down. So how do you import multiple images? You'd think it would be as simple as multiple selections in the import window, but no. In this case, we go back to the fabulous drop-and-drag technique. Select multiple files on your desktop (or wherever they might be) and drag to the InDesign window you're working in. When you let go of the mouse button, ID will cascade all the files you imported from the point where your mouse let go.

Now if only you could set the default scaling, or better yet, import an image into an existing frame and have it scale to fit. For some reason I always end up with 20 images about 50X too large that I have to wrestle with before I can get down to the business of doing some proper layout.

the default scaling is 100%. i'll look into this further, but the easiest way to fix this is to make an automated batch file in photoshop to reduce the size of the files to something more managable for your project. if you aren't sure how to do that, i can post it!
