To edit the original graphic
The Edit Original command lets you edit most graphics in the application in which you created them. It opens the
graphic in the original application so you can modify it as necessary. Once you save the file, InCopy updates the
document with the new version of the graphic.
1 Make sure the graphics frame is checked out to you. The Editing icon appears in the upper left corner of the
frame.
2 Do one of the following:
• In Layout view, select the graphics frame you want to edit using the Position tool , and choose Edit > Edit
Original.
• Select a link in the Links palette, and then click the Edit Original button
3 After making changes in the original application, save the file.

Importing options
Encapsulated PostScript (.eps) import options
When you place an EPS graphic (or a file saved with Adobe Illustrator 8.0 or earlier) and select Show Import Options
in the Place dialog box, you’ll see a dialog box containing these options:
Read Embedded OPI Image Links This option tells InCopy to read links from OPI comments for images included
(or nested) in the graphic.
Deselect this option if you’re using a proxy-based workflow and plan to have your service providers perform the
image replacement using their OPI software. When this option is deselected, InCopy preserves the OPI links, but
does not read them. When you print or export, the proxy and the links are passed on to the output file.
Select this option if you’re using a proxy-based workflow and you want InCopy, instead of your service provider, to
perform image replacement when you output the final file. When you select this option, the OPI links appear in the
Links palette.
Also select this option when you import EPS files containing OPI comments that are not part of a proxy-based
workflow. For example, if you import an EPS file containing OPI comments for an omitted TIFF or bitmap image,
you’ll want to select this option so that InCopy can access the TIFF information when you output the file.
Apply Photoshop Clipping Path Select this option to import a clipping path from a Photoshop EPS file.
Proxy Generation This creates a low-resolution bitmap representation of an image when drawing the file to the
screen. The following settings control how the proxy will be generated:
• Use TIFF or PICT Preview Some EPS images contain an embedded preview. Select Use TIFF or PICT Preview to
generate the proxy image of the existing preview. If a preview does not exist, the proxy will be generated by rasterizing
the EPS to an offscreen bitmap.
• Rasterize the PostScript Select this option to ignore the embedded preview. This option is typically slower but
provides the highest-quality results.
Note: All instances of the imported file share the proxy setting when more than one single file is imported into the same
document.
