You can manipulate your photo in photoshop before exporting and placing into Indesign.

• The tool bar at the top has a category called FILTER. In here you will find all kinds of presets to change how your photo looks – adding presets to make it look like a pen and ink drawing, mosaic etc.  You can also use the Liquify tool to alter the image – real photoshop territory and make eyes bigger and legs shorter etc.
• The other tab on the tool bar called IMAGE options to change the colour to black and white, add gradient shadow to the background and change the exposure etc.
