Working with Graphics how do I create picture boxes? Like the Picture Box tools in QuarkXPress, the three Frame tools in the InDesign Tools panel let you create frames into which you can import graphics. However, because any InDesign object can contain a graphic, you can use any of the drawing tools to create a graphics frame. where’s the get Picture command? To import a graphic into an InDesign layout, choose the Place command (File menu). When you use the Place command to import a graphic, you can place the graphic into: • A new frame by clicking (which creates a frame that’s the size of the graphic) or by clicking and dragging the loaded graphics icon (which creates a frame that’s the size of the rectangle you drag). 40 Adobe InDesign CS3 | Conversion guide InDesign supports import of all common graphic formats, including native Photoshop and Illustrator files, as well as PDF files. For example, Photoshop files with soft edges and transparent backgrounds are displayed in InDesign exactly as they look in Photoshop. The ability to work with native files will reduce your file-management overhead, save disk space, and streamline your workflow. You can also import InDesign (INDD) files into InDesign layouts, as well as QuickTime, AVI, MPEG, and SWF movie files, which can be played when you export a document to Adobe PDF. • An unselected frame by clicking the loaded graphics icon anywhere in the frame. • A selected frame by clicking Open in the Place dialog box. Note: If a text insertion point is blinking when you place a graphic, the graphic is placed as an anchored object that flows with the surrounding text. You can select multiple files in the Place dialog box—including a mix of graphics and text files—and then place the files in whatever order you want into existing frames or into new frames. If you select Show Thumbnails On Place in the Interface pane of the Preferences dialog box, a thumbnail preview is displayed instead of the loaded graphics You can place multiple files at one time directly into InDesign layouts.
icon, and the first several words of a text file are displayed instead of the loaded text icon. If you don’t like the result after you place a graphic, you can undo the action (Edit > Undo Place) to return to the loaded graphics icon. Then, either place the graphic again or click any tool to clear the icon. what graphics formats can I import into and export from InDesign? InDesign imports the following graphics formats: Photoshop (PSD), Illustrator (AI), Adobe PDF, BMP, DCS, EPS, GIF, JPEG, and TIFF. The Export command (File menu) exports the following graphics formats: Adobe PDF, EPS, JPEG, and SVG. Can I place any other types of files into InDesign? You can place InDesign layouts (INDD files) into other InDesign documents for improved design consistency and streamlined workflow. When you place an InDesign file into a layout (File > Place), it is handled the same as a placed graphics file. When a placed InDesign file is updated, the file’s status is automatically updated in the Links panel. There is no need for you to save and manage interim files. In the example at right, the “Aquolife” nameplate was created in Illustrator and then dragged and dropped into an InDesign layout as editable paths. what should I know about importing Illustrator files into InDesign? You can place artwork created with Illustrator 5.5 and later into an InDesign document. If you place an Illustrator file that contains transparency, the transparency is preserved (that is, underlying objects are visible through the placed artwork), and you can use the transparency features in InDesign to modify the graphic’s appearance. In addition to the ability to import native Illustrator files, how does InDesign support Illustrator? In addition to importing native Illustrator files using the Place command (File menu), you can also drag and drop or copy and paste Illustrator files into InDesign to work with them as editable objects. When you copy and paste or drag and drop objects from Illustrator, they’re displayed in InDesign as a grouped collection of editable objects. If you want to work with the objects individually, select the group with the Selection tool, and Working with Graphics 41 A B
