and grayscale pictures using the Colors palette (Window > Colors), the Modify dialog
box (Windows only)(Item menu) (Style > Picture), the Measurements palette, or the Style
menu. You can also apply color to the picture background and the box background.

Listing, verifying status of, and updating pictures
The Usage feature (Utilities menu) lets you keep track of all your imported pictures. To
use this feature, choose Utilities > Usage, then click Pictures to display the Pictures pane.
The Show button displays the selected picture in the layout.
The Update button lets you update missing and modified pictures. To update modified
pictures without a confirmation alert, Option+click/Alt+click the Update button.
Specifying background colors for pictures
To increase your design options with pictures, you can modify box color, picture color,
and picture background color. See "Coloring and shading pictures" for more information.
For gray pixels, the picture color and picture background color are mixed.
If you specify different opacities for the picture color or picture background color, the
colors will interact with each other and the box color.
Grayscale and 1-bit images only: When you open a project from a previous version of
QuarkXPress, the box color is mapped to the picture background color so the picture looks
the same.
