Enhanced Design Experience
QuarkXPress 8 offers an enhanced design experience so you can work faster and smarter by quickly and easily accessing the tools you need. The new, intuitive interface delivers updates that allow for more design with fewer clicks. For example:
Picture Content Tool:
Allows users to grab, rotate, and scale images in real-time without typing in numbers or switching from tool to tool.
Item Tool and Text Content Tool:
Smart behavior within these tools allows for less switching between tools, even for rotation and managing multiple items.
New Bézier Pen Tools:
Draw illustrations directly in QuarkXPress 8 with the redefined Bézier Pen tool.
Workspace Enhancements:
Include new buttons for instant access to master pages and exporting to PDF, EPS, SWF, and HTML— plus new split-view buttons, enhanced contextual menus, and customizable active pasteboards.
Measurements Palette:
Further enhanced to make even more functions easily accessible, including new clickable controls for on-the-fly drop-shadow modification.
Drag-and-Drop:
Drag text and pictures from the desktop, Adobe® Bridge, iPhoto®, or any other application that supports drag and drop. Alternatively, drag content from QuarkXPress to Photoshop®, Illustrator®, Microsoft® Word, and other applications for direct editing.
