This XTension software provides a novel approach to handling QuarkXPress document groups.
If you're looking for a powerful software module to enhance your work with QuarkXPress, the GroupPicture XTensions module might be just what you need. This unique module revolutionizes the way you work with catalogs and other publications that utilize QuarkXPress "groups."
One powerful example of this is the ability to archive and reuse "product blocks" within catalogs. These blocks are groupings of items related to one or more product SKUs, including picture boxes, descriptive copy, price charts, and more. GroupPicture converts these product blocks into tangible QuarkXPress elements that can be saved, placed, databased, and even archived just like image files.
But that's not all. The GroupPicture XTensions module gives you the power to save complete groups of QuarkXPress elements, including lines, picture boxes, and text boxes, in special files that behave just like pictures. You can archive, database, and import these files just like any other supported graphic format. The key difference is that when you import a GroupPicture file, you get the original, native QuarkXPress elements perfectly positioned on your page and ready to be edited and styled.
GroupPicture is the perfect complement to practically any image database program. Each GroupPicture includes a color thumbnail and full-size preview image, making them ideal for cataloging purposes. You can even attach keyword and description information to each GroupPicture at the time of save. This information will be picked up automatically when the image is cataloged, allowing for easy searches by keyword or even full text in your favorite image database. GroupPicture also provides a number of options for automatic keywording, and can report additional information relating to fonts, colors, and graphics used within the group.
Overall, the GroupPicture XTensions module is a must-have for anyone who works with QuarkXPress and wants to streamline their workflow, improve their organization, and easily reuse content blocks within their catalogs and publications. Just make sure you have both DesignMerge and QuarkXPress installed and running on your system before you install the module.
