Badia BigPicture provides the most-comprehensive solution for managing graphics and picture links in QuarkXPress. With BigPicture, get instant access to detailed image information, customizable views, a unique search and re-link engine, plus powerful tools for updating, revealing, opening, unlinking, renaming, replacing, and moving multiple links. For each image in the document, BigPicture reports the name, page, full path, color model (e.g., CMYK, RGB), format (e.g., TIFF, EPS), file size, image resolution (original and scaled), creator application, image compression, EPS fonts and colors, dimensions, date modified, print status, scaling, angle, color profile, and link status.Optionally, display the entire picture list using the thumbnail view, to quickly browse images visually. Several camera settings, such as shutter speed and focal length, are also reported when available. For even more flexibility, sort the picture list by any column, select entries that match a specific attribute (e.g., all RGB images), and control whether to include master page pictures and duplicate images.Renaming pictures is as easy as clicking on the picture name and typing the new name. BigPicture will rename the picture file in the finder, update the QuarkXPress link, and change all the document occurrences of the same picture.The built-in search engine of BigPicture quickly scans a drive or any mounted volume for missing pictures and then provides the ability to re-link them with any of the returned matches found. If additional missing images are located in the same folder, BigPicture can automatically re-link them as well. Additional options are provided for retaining picture attributes and updating all picture occurrences.Open an image or group of images with the creating - or any - application.
