Working with VivaDesigner

Working with VivaDesigner
The Information field shows you the file type of the
image (JPEG, TIFF, etc.), the Color Model (e.g. CMYK),
the image size in Pixels, and the resolution in dpi.
In the angle field, you define the rotation of the
image within the object. Values between 0 and 360°
may be entered.
In the skew field, you define the skew of the image
within the object. Values between 0 and 75° may be
entered.
4 Importing images
To import the image, first activate the object with a
click on the object surface. Then select the command
Import in the File menu, or use the appropriate shortcut
keys shown.
1 After the command has been selected, you will see
the VIVA dialog, in which all folders and image files
are displayed that are recognised by the program.
2 The types of image available are shown in the
popup menu File Type.
If you do not know in which format the image you
want to import has been saved, select the entry All
readable.

Chapter 8 39
When images are imported, they are not embedded in
the document, but the program saves an image preview,
the image name its Path. Thus the document
size is reduced considerably.
Select an image file and confirm your selection with a
double click on the file name, or simply click Open.
If an image is imported into a picture object, the existing
image will be deleted, but all settings such as scaling,
offset, etc. will be applied to the newly imported
image.
If you want to import an image into a picture object
with special settings, you can make these settings in
the Picture Palette before importing the image.
As an alternative you can import your images with
»Drag & Drop«, by simply dragging the image over the
picture object with the mouse and then releasing the
mouse button.
If you want to import a page of a PDF file containing
more than one page, you do this in exactly the same
way as described above. The program will analyse the
PDF file and open a dialog for you to choose the page
you want.
