ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS2 

Version Cue  makes it easy to manage variations of a design  through the  use of  alternates. For example, you can create 
alternates for variations of a design based on different versions or completely different photos for different editions 
of a publication. 

You can  use alternates in several  ways. For  instance, if you  make  extensive changes  to  a file,  it  may make more sense  
to save it as an alternate than a version. When you use alternates, your original file remains untouched and you’re 
free to continue your design work in a new direction. You can also create alternates for art you’re planning to use in 
different media, for example, a high-resolution alternate for print and a lower-resolution alternate for web use. Or, 
you can make alternates from files with totally different content. For example, suppose you are creating an article 
about fruit production. You might use a photo of an orange for the California edition, a photo of a banana for the 
Florida edition, and a photo of an apple for the Washington edition. You can save each photo as an alternate. 

You can access alternates from Bridge or directly from the Links palette in InCopy, InDesign, or Illustrator, making 
it easy to present a variety of design ideas to clients and creative directors. Version Cue protects alternates the same 
way as other assets. When you save an alternate, it appears as a separate file in its project, but Version Cue maintains 
a relationship between the original file and any alternates you create. 

Version Cue maintains relationships between alternates by creating alternates groups, which you can view together 
in the Alternates dialog box. You can manually group files into an alternates group by using the Make Alternates 
command. You create alternates from files in different folders by dragging them between Bridge windows. Using this 
method  you can  add files  from  additional  folders to the  group as well.  Thus, an alternates group  can contain  multiple  
files from multiple folders. You can make an alternate the primary, or preferred, alternate in a group. The primary 
alternate is designated by a special  status  icon, and  its name is in bold in the  Alternates  View. In the  Alternates  dialog  
box that appears in Adobe Creative Suite components and in InCopy (in the Links palette or Open dialog box), the 
primary alternate appears at the top of the list in the Alternates dialog box. 

You can change the primary alternate and remove alternates from the group by using Bridge or the Alternates dialog 
box in Adobe Creative Suite components or in InCopy.
