USING INDESIGN CS4

Frames and objects

You can quickly enlarge a frame equally around all sides by using the Transform or Control panel. Select the frame

with the Direct Selection tool , set the panel reference point locator to the center point, and enter new values

for the width and height.

Crop or mask objects

Cropping and masking are both terms that describe hiding part of an object. In general, the difference is that cropping

uses a rectangle to trim the edges of an image, and masking uses an arbitrary shape to make an object’s background

transparent. A common example of a mask is a clipping path, which is a mask made for a specific image.

Use graphics frames to crop or mask objects. Because an imported graphic is automatically contained within a frame,

you can crop or mask it immediately without having to create a frame for it. If you haven’t created a frame for an

imported graphic manually, the frame is automatically created at the same size as the graphic, so it may not be obvious

that the frame is there.

Note: For efficient printing, only the data for the visible parts of cropped or masked images is sent when you output the

document. However, you will still save disk space and RAM if you crop or mask images to their desired shapes and sizes

before importing them into your document.

• To crop an imported image or any other graphic already inside a rectangular frame, click the object using the

Selection tool and drag any handle on the bounding box that appears. Press Shift as you drag to preserve the

frame’s original proportions.

Cropping an image using a graphics frame

• To crop or mask any object, use the Selection or Direct Selection tool to select one object you want to mask.

Choose Edit > Copy, select an empty path or frame smaller than the object, and choose Edit > Paste Into.

• To crop frame content precisely, select the frame with the Direct Selection tool, and use the Transform or Control

panel to change the size of the frame.

• To specify crop settings for an empty placeholder frame, choose Object > Fitting > Frame Fitting Options, and then

specify the crop amount.

With an imported graphic, you can also create a mask by using the drawing tools to change the shape of the graphic’s

existing frame.
