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.
