The Page Layout Turf Wars

There’s no longer the need to save native files to a format that Quark can support. You even can update your Photoshop and Illustrator files from within the InDesign workspace—saving hours of production time and improving accuracy.

Transparencies and Drop Shadows

Transparencies are created and edited right within InDesign. A soft angora sweater with fuzzy edges now can be placed flawlessly into a colored background or even over another image without a clipping path! This feature alone will save hundreds of hours yearly and is enough to make converts out of current QuarkXpress users. When you tack on the ability to add drop shadows, and create feathering and gradient fills, design is back where it belongs—in the page layout tool.
