Keep Image Attributes when Replacing in QuarkXPress

XTensions

QuarkXPress 6, 5 and 4 have a frustrating inability to remember any attributes you’ve applied to a picture box when you replace the picture in the picture box.

For example, when replacing a low-res version of a picture with a high-res version, any offset and scaling values you applied to the original box are lost.

These two free XTensions solve that problem:

  1. For QuarkXPress 6, use Badia’s ReplaceInPlace.
  2. For QuarkXPress 4 and 5, use Markzware’s PictAttributes XT.
