adding & editing graphics Flashcards
Just like text, you can not copy and paste graphics from other applications into ID - instead how do you get graphics into ID?
File>Place>browse to file.
ID will place into existing frame or create a new one for you.
The icon changes indicating what ID is going to do of the above two options.
After placing, click outside of frame to deselect.
Place by clicking and dragging to create a new frame, scaling the graphic to the frame size in the process.
ID honours transparent files from native PS files.
ID doesn’t embed pics into its file, it creates a link to the original file, same as PP and Audition.
Where can you view all the content links in your document?
via the links window/ panel
ideally keep this docked in RH of workspace
After placing a graphic, how do you deselect?
click outside of frame to deselect.
How do you size a graphic when placing it?
Place by clicking and dragging to create a new frame, scaling the graphic to the frame size in the process.
How do u move objects around in ID?
Use selection tool aka: the black arrow tool.
When moving objects, the green lines are ***** to help you align your objects, e.g. to centre your object with object below.
smart-guides
The bagel icon aka *** **** enables you to move the image inside its frame!
content grabber - its sits in the centre of the image/frame
If you click elsewhere and drag the image you will land up moving the whole frame around, instead of fine tuning the position of the pic or other content in the frame.
DC the image and you select the **** not the *****.
For the purpose of moving the image u could also use the *****.
