InDesign help needed! If that line means anything to you, please read on.

I'm putting a book cover together in InDesign. When I am set to finalize it, I need to know what size the art is being shrunk to in the program so that I can carefully shrink the original photos down to that size for optimum printing. Letting a computer, especially someone else's, choose how a picture gets shrunk is another way of saying, "Please turn my photos to mush for me. Thanks!"

Unfortunately, I can't find any palette, menu, window, widget, or anything that tells me what size a picture has been reduced to in the entire InDesign program. It is as if it assumes nobody would ever want to have any control over such a thing.

Can someone out there tell me how to determine what a photo has been resized to? Can someone point me to a person who might know, or a resource that might be able to tell me?

Thanks in advance.
