To edit the properties of an image resource:
1. In the Structure area, select the image resource you want to view and/or edit.
2. In the Object Inspector, view and/or edit the properties.
l Name: The name of the image resource in the document.
l Color depth: Indicates the color depth of the image resource. Color depth is meaningful only for image
resources of type bitmap. You cannot edit this property; PlanetPress Design automatically determines the color
depth by examining the file specified in the File name box.
l Edit image: Use to launch the image editor and edit the image resource. You define the image editor you want
to use in the User Options dialog box.
l File name: Specifies the pathname of the image file from which PlanetPress Design created the image
resource. Editing this is equivalent to replacing the image resource.
l Image quality: Select the image quality for this image resource. Select Photo if edges in the image are not
sharply defined and thus not highly sensitive to any loss of image information that occurs through compression.
The compression PlanetPress Design applies to line art images is lossless.
l Image type: Specifies the type of the image file (bitmap, EPS, or PDF). You cannot edit this property; Plan-
etPress Design automatically determines the type by examining the file specified in the File name box.
l Height (pixels): Adjust the number of pixels in the height of the bitmapped image resource. If you adjust this
value PlanetPress Design also automatically adjusts the value in the Width box to maintain the aspect ratio of
the image. A pixel height adjustment has an irreversible effect on quality and for this reason PlanetPress Design
prompts for confirmation before proceeding with the operation. The only way to restore the original pixel dimen-
sions of an image resource at its original quality is to add the image resource to the document again.
l Width (pixels): Adjust the number of pixels in the width of the bitmapped image resource. If you adjust this
value PlanetPress Design also automatically adjusts the value in the Height box to maintain the aspect ratio of
the image.
l When you import a PDF file into a PlanetPress Design document, its size may not be set accurately, so you
should set it manually.
l Scanline orientation: Specify the scanline orientation for the image resource. When PlanetPress Design
adds an image resource to the document, it sets the scanline orientation of the image resource to the value of
the Scanline orientation box in the Document properties dialog box. If you have the value properly set in the Doc-
ument properties dialog box, you should only need to adjust the value here if you rotate the image resource
within a picture object by a multiple of 90 degrees. If you use the same image resource in both a rotated and
unrotated presentation, you should add the image file as two distinct image resources, and set the scanline orien-
tation for each image resource separately.
When a PDFimage resource is selected, the Object Inspector offers a preview of the PDF as well as a page selector. To navi-
gate the pages of a multi-page PDF image resource, locate the page selector and either enter the page of the PDF you want to
view, or use the spin buttons to navigate the pages of the PDF.
To edit or resample a network image:
l Open the file on the computer using your graphic editor of choice, make the modification to the image file and save the
new version. PlanetPress Design will always use the latest version of your file.
Color Management and Matching
Since PlanetPress Design displays on your screen, in PDFs and on printers, there are a few things to keep in mind if you want
the colors you see to be the same as the colors your print, and if you want to match a specific, exact color.
