  1. It’s all in the Details Working with Graphics

  2. Importing Graphics • In PageMaker, graphics can be inserted • As inline graphics • As independent graphics • Independent graphics give you the most control • Must have pointer tool selected when placing graphic for graphic to be independent (text tool = inline)

  3. Formats for Graphics • Vector graphic images • Provide smoothest image because they’re based on connecting points with lines • End with .WMF, .EPS, .AI, .CGM • Raster graphic images • Based on a grid; curves can appear jagged • End with .TIF, .BMP, .GIF, .JPG • A distorted graphic is the sign of an amateur designer.

  4. Scanning • Line art (all solid images — black & white) scan the best • Original photos can be scanned for black & white images, not color images • Grayscale images CAN NOT be scanned • Photo reproductions (as in magazines) CAN NOT be scanned. • Both of these create a moiré

  5. PhotoShop • PhotoShop is devoted to either changing the quantity or the color of pixels • If image on your screen is 100%, you are viewing image at one image pixel = one screen pixel

  6. Image Size Window • Most helpful AND most dangerous window in the program! • File size • How many pixels the image contains • Resolution • Number of pixels that print per inch • Dimensions of an image • Physical width and height of the image when printed

  7. Some Guidelines • Remember … you have to KNOW how the digital image was created to know how much enlarging you can do • Scanned? • Digital camera? What MP? What quality? • You can always make an image smaller • Keep a backup, original copy in case you want the original size back

  8. Mode of Images • Digital images come in as RGB. • Change to either Grayscale or CMYK in Image/Mode menu if photo for publication

  9. Special items • Character width: • Stretch or compress text • Tracking • Hyphenation (-) • En dash (–) • Em dash (—) • Bullet
