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.
• To apply color to a black-and-white or grayscale picture, select the Picture Color icon
and click a color name.
• To apply color to the background of a black-and-white or grayscale picture, select the
Picture Background Color icon and click a color name.
Flipping pictures
You can flip the contents of a picture box from left to right and from top to bottom
using the Style menu (Style > Flip Horizontal or Style > Flip Vertical) or the
Home/Classic tab of the Measurements palette (click the flip horizontal icon or
the flip vertical icon ).
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.
Maintaining picture attributes
When you import a picture into a picture box — whether or not the picture box already
contains a picture — you can retain all picture attributes. For example, if an empty
picture box in a template specifies that the picture should be scaled 50% and rotated
90 degrees, you can import a new picture and those attributes are automatically applied.
To import a picture and retain the attributes specified for the box and/or the existing
picture, check Maintain Picture Attributes in the Import dialog box (File menu).
