Pictures
You can import and paste pictures from image-editing or other graphic applications
into QuarkXPress. Once a picture is in a box, you can perform a number of
operations on it, such as altering its position, changing its size, or skewing or
flipping it.
Working with pictures
QuarkXPress provides a wide variety of tools for working with pictures.
If an article contains pictures, you can view and manipulate pictures in
QuarkCopyDesk. You can also create picture components.
Importing a picture
To import a picture, do one of the following:
Choose File > Import. •
Select the Picture Content tool , select a picture box, and then choose File > •
Import.
Select the Picture Content tool , select a picture box, and then paste a picture •
from the clipboard.
Drag a picture file from the file system onto a picture box. •
Drag a picture file from the file system onto a page. •
Drag a picture from another application onto a picture box. •
Press Command/Ctrl and drag a picture file from the file system onto a text box, •
a no-content box, an empty picture box, or a box that contains a picture.
Press Command/Ctrl and drag a picture from another application onto a text •
box, a no-content box, an empty picture box, or a box that contains a picture.
If you drag content onto a box that already contains text or a picture, QuarkXPress
creates a new box for the dragged content. To replace the contents of the box
instead, press Command/Ctrl while dragging the content to the box. To always
create a new box for dragged-in content, press Option/Alt while dragging.
When you import a picture, the image is imported at full size, with the origin
(upper-left corner) in the upper-left corner of the box’s bounding box. With the
Picture Content tool selected, the picture’s full image displays beyond the box
boundary.
