The Problem

Data Merge destroys manual adjustments.

Every time you update your CSV/TXT source file and run Data Merge, InDesign regenerates your image frames. Any manual cropping, fitting, or positioning you carefully did is instantly wiped out.

01
Setup
You run Data Merge and carefully crop/fit hundreds of images manually.
02
Update
Prices change. You run Data Merge again to update the text.
03
Lost work
InDesign resets all image frames. You have to re-crop everything again.

The Solution

Save them before, restore them after.

LuminaX doesn't replace Data Merge. It adds one missing step: preserving your manual image adjustments between updates.

1. Save adjustments

Click "Save" before running your next Data Merge. LuminaX remembers the exact scale and position of every image.

2. Run Data Merge

Update your document data natively using Adobe InDesign's standard Data Merge tools.

3. Restore images

Click "Restore" and LuminaX automatically reapplies your saved crops and positions perfectly.

Use cases

Built for people who update InDesign documents repeatedly.

  • Product catalogs
  • Price lists
  • Product directories
  • Real-estate brochures
  • Medical directories
  • Retail publications
  • Agency production workflows

If you use Data Merge once a year, this probably isn't for you.

What this is not

You don't need another catalog system.

If Adobe Data Merge already does most of what you need, keep using it. LuminaX is designed for the specific moments where manual image adjustments become repetitive.

  • No database
  • No cloud platform
  • No replacement for Data Merge
