Never flatten a Photoshop file again! Instead, use the power of multilayer Photoshop images directly within QuarkXPress. Save time by eliminating the need to flatten an image; multiple versions of the same image can now be conveniently placed in one picture box. Layers can be turned on or off with a click of the mouse. ImagePort also includes support for Adjustment Layers.ImagePort is an XTensions module that enables the user to import native Photoshop files directly into QuarkXPress. Once imported, manipulate the layers, channels, and paths of those images. This integration between Photoshop and QuarkXPress streamlines workflow, expands creative possibilities, and saves hard drive space.ImagePort supports the Grayscale, RGB, CMYK, Index, and Multichannel image modes.Features:• skip the usual step of flattening an image and saving it in a different file format for import into QuarkXPress;• no longer switch continually between QuarkXPress and Photoshop to adjust an image until it looks right in the layout;• save hard disk space by needing only one file for use with both Photoshop and QuarkXPress;• store several versions of the same image in a single Photoshop file, import the image into a QuarkXPress document, then show and hide the layers with a click of the mouse to control which version of the image prints (e.g., use this for regional versions of the same ad or for proposals being presented to a client);• experiment with different versions of an image within a layout by simply switching layers (e.g., store several different backdrop images in the same Photoshop file);• modify opacities and try different blend methods such as dissolve, lighten, and difference — all within the context of the entire layout;• assign channels to be spot colors, varnishes, embossing, die cuts, or other special effects;• print color separations of RGB, CMYK, multichannel, and indexed colors from QuarkXPress;• replace selected indexed colors with spot colors;• choose different clipping paths to control which areas of the image to display; and• explore different text-wrap options by choosing different paths saved with an image.Click the Resources tab above for related articles and other information on this topic.Manufacturer: Quark Inc.
