image data is saved in the cache. To customize the locations for saving presets, use the
Picture Effects pane of the Preferences dialog box (QuarkXPress/Edit > Preferences).
Reviewing Picture Effects usage
To make it easy to see where the Picture Effects features are used, display the Vista pane
of the Usage dialog box (Utilities menu). Similar to the Pictures pane, the Vista pane lists
the file name, location, page number (a dagger symbol or PB indicates pasteboard), file
type, and number of effects for each picture in the layout.

Saving picture files
You can export picture files in your choice of formats. Any changes you make in
QuarkXPress including everything you can do in the Picture tab of the Modify dialog
box (Item menu) and in the Picture Effects palette (Window menu) can be saved with
the source picture file or in a new picture file. Applying modifications to a source picture
file is referred to as rendering, and it is usually done to speed processing time during output
or to optimize files being sent to a service provider.
The Picture Export Options dialog box lets you control which picture effects are applied
and how the selected pictures are rendered.
To export a single selected picture, choose File > Save Picture > Selected Picture. To export
all pictures in the active layout, choose File > Save Picture > All Pictures in Layout. (Note
that this option only applies to compatible formats and color modes.) To export more
than one selected picture in a layout, choose Utilities > Usage, click Vista, select the
pictures to export, and then click Render.
When you export a picture, you can choose exactly which modifications you want to save
with each picture, the file type, and the color mode. In addition, you can choose to
overwrite the original picture file or create a new file. Check Overwrite Original Picture
to replace the original file.
Check Link Layout to New Picture to save a new file and replace the link to the original
file with a link to new file. If you choose to render transformations to the picture (such as
scaling, skew, cropping, and rotation), the picture box attributes are adjusted as necessary
to make sure the picture looks the same after re-import as it did before.
