Adobe CS5.5 (v.7.5) Mac Upgrade NL 65103975 User Manual

View > Display Performance > High 

Quality Display. This may slow down 

screen redraw on your computer.
You can also increase the display 

quality of an individual graphic:

 ■ Right-click (or Control-click with 

a one-button mouse in Mac OS) 

a graphic frame, and then choose 

Display Performance > High  

Quality Display.

 ■ If you are importing an EPS file, 

select Show Import Options in the 

Place dialog box, and then choose 

Rasterize The PostScript to get a 

better quality preview.

To modify a placed graphic in its 

original application, hold down 

Option (Mac OS) or Alt (Windows), 

and double-click the graphics frame. 

(You can also select a graphic or its 

frame, and then choose Edit > Edit 

Original or click the Edit Original 

button   in the Links panel.)
The Edit Original feature relies on 

the Mac or Windows operating  

system to know what application to 

launch. You can also choose an  

alternate application from the Edit 

With menu (in the Edit menu or 

Links panel menu).
After you make and save your 

changes, the placed artwork is 

 automatically updated in InDesign.

You can use the Links panel to 
identify, select, monitor, and relink 
imported graphics files. The Links 
panel displays a list of all imported 
graphics and a variety of link attri-
butes, including warning icons for 
graphics that have been modified 
or are missing.

Here are some other features in  
the Links panel that you should  
be aware of:

 

■ You can reorder the files in the 

panel by clicking the name or 
icon at the top of the column. You 
can also change the order of the 
columns or change their width by 
dragging the column headers.

 

■ Click the blue page number next 

to the filename to jump to that 
page and highlight the image.

 

■ Click the triangle in the lower left 

corner of the panel to view the 
Link Info section, which offers 
more information about the 
selected graphic. For example, it 
can show bitmap image resolu-
tion, color space, current image 
scaling, and layer position.

 

■ You can add or remove columns 

of information in the panel, or 
what information is displayed 
in Link Info, by choosing Panel 
Options from the panel menu.

The Links panel also lets you 
relink to a new file on disk, 
update modified links, reveal the 
file in Finder (Mac OS) or Explorer 
(Windows), copy the files to a 
new folder on disk (similar to 
Package, but for only selected 
files), and embed the placed file 
inside the InDesign document.
