The Complete
Picture Management Suite
Latest Version:
3.01 Universal Binary for

Also Available: Version 2.0 for QuarkXPress 6/5/4.

Badia BigPicture gives you the most comprehensive solution for
managing graphics and picture links in QuarkXPress. With
BigPicture, you get instant access to detailed image information,
customizable views, a unique search and relink engine, plus
powerful tools for updating, revealing, opening, unlinking,
renaming, replacing and moving multiple links. Single licenses
start at $119.99.

Detailed Picture List
For each image in your document, BigPicture reports the name, page,
full path, color model (CMYK, RGB, etc.), format (TIFF, EPS, etc.),
file size, image resolution (original and scaled), creator
application, image compression, EPS fonts and colors, dimensions,
date modified, print status, scaling, angle, color profile, and
link status.
You also have the option of
displaying the entire picture list using the thumbnail view, so you
can quickly browse images visually. Several camera settings, such
as shutter speed and focal length, are also reported when
available. And for even more flexibility, you can sort the picture
list by any column, select entries that match a specific attribute
(for example, all RGB images), and control whether to include
master page pictures and duplicate images.
Picture
Renaming
Renaming pictures is as easy as clicking on the picture name and
typing the new name. BigPicture will rename the picture file in the
Finder, update the QuarkXPress link, and change all the document
occurrences of the same picture.
Integrated Search
and Link
The built-in search engine of BigPicture quickly scans your hard
drive or any mounted volume for missing pictures and then gives you
the ability to relink them with any of the returned matches found.
If additional missing images are located in the same folder,
BigPicture can relink them as well automatically. And of course you
have options for retaining picture attributes and updating all
picture occurrences.
Opening
Images
You can open an image or group of images with their creator or any
other application you choose. BigPicture will launch that
application and open the pictures for you, ready for editing. A
built-in favorites list feature also keeps track of the recent 30
programs.
Tools
for Pros
• Move or copy a group of pictures to a different folder or
hard drive, so you can organize images by page, type or any other
criteria you choose.
• Collect all images to a designated folder or volume.
• Relink pictures with a different folder. This allows quick
switching back and forth between a folder with low resolution
pictures and one with high resolution pictures.
• Replace any picture with another, while retaining original
transformations such as scaling and box offset.
•
Update all modified pictures in one
step.
• Switch the print status of selected images from print to
suppress printout, and viceversa.
• Choose an action when you double-click an entry in the
picture list: update image, open with creator, reveal in Finder or
reveal in document.
•
Unlink images using any of these options: retain
picture name and preview, or retain only screen preview.
• Reveal an image or any of its enclosing folders in the
Finder, or show picture location in document or master pages.
• Customize keyboard shortcut for easy access to the
BigPicture window.
