Moving pictures
You can move pictures inside their boxes with:
the Picture Content tool
the Measurements palette
(Windows only) the Modify dialog box (Item > Modify)
With the Picture Content tool selected, you can click any part of an image, regardless
of its position in its box. You can also nudge a picture in its box by using the arrow
keys.
If the Item tool is selected when you are using the arrow keys on the keyboard, the
box will move instead of the picture within the box. See "Moving items" for more
information about moving pictures.
Resizing pictures
You can scale pictures to make them larger or smaller using:
the Picture Content tool
the Measurements palette
the Style menu
(Windows only) the Item menu (Item > Modify)
After importing a picture into a box, you can choose Fit Box to Picture and Scale
Picture to Box from the context menu (or Style menu). Press the Shift key while
resizing a picture with the Picture Content tool to resize the picture proportionately.
Cropping pictures
If you only want a portion of your image to display, you can manually crop it by
adjusting the size of the box.
Rotating and skewing pictures
Rotating a picture sets it at a different angle within the box, while skewing a picture
applies a slanted look to it.
To rotate a picture, select the Picture Content tool and move the mouse over one
of the picture's corner handles. A Rotation pointer displays according to the selected
corner. Drag the pointer to rotate the picture. You can also enter rotate values for a
picture in the Picture Angle field of the Modify dialog box (Item > Modify > Picture)
on Windows, or the Measurements palette (Home/Classic tab).
To skew a picture, enter a value in the Picture Skew field of the Modify dialog box
(Item > Modify) on Windows or the Measurements palette (Home/Classic tab).
Coloring and shading pictures
You can apply color and shade values to the shadows and middle tones of
black-and-white and grayscale pictures using the Colors palette (Window > Colors),
