QuarkXPress is powerful design and page layout software with an intuitive, versatile interface that lets you combine superior typography with color and pictures to produce dynamic final output for print and Web delivery. QuarkXPress is widely used by magazines, newspapers, advertising agencies and design firms, marketers, printers, corporate publishers, catalog houses, and book publishers.Industry experts are calling QuarkXPress 7 one of Quark's most significant upgrades ever. With more than 160 new features and enhancements, QuarkXPress 7 cements Quark's tradition of innovation by enabling a new way of working that focuses on the layout, design, and production environments as a whole rather than as separate processes.With new features ranging from transparency and Composition Zones to enhanced PDF creation and print output, QuarkXPress 7 combines design freedom, unparalleled collaboration, and support for multi-channel communication in a single software tool.Features include:Smart transparencyUse the precise controls in QuarkXPress® 7 to set the transparency of a frame, background, or a single character at the color level with complete creative freedom — and without employing time-consuming item-based workarounds or depending on third-party applications or XTensions® software.Quark Job Jackets technologyQuarkXPress 7 combines great design with nearly error-free production through Job Jackets. Designs are no longer in danger of being trapped on screen or altered at the last minute due to production requirements. Based on the JDF standard, Job Jackets help ensure that a print job adheres to specifications from the beginning of the creative process to output.Job Jackets help enforce job specifications by linking projects to synchronized, dynamically updateable design specifications that include everything from style sheets and colors to page size and count.Quark Job Jackets go beyond preflighting. With this technology, you can check a file for consistency and create new files that automatically comply with a user's needs. Job Jackets can be updated on the fly with changes made by art directors, color management specialists, and output professionals for a reliable, automated workflow.Composition Zones technologyQuarkXPress 7 brings unprecedented live collaboration to the desktop. With Composition Zones, more than one person can work on a single layout at the same time. You can define a portion of a page, a whole page, or even an entire layout as a Composition Zones piece, and then export that piece as a separate project file. Other users can then work on their zone as if it were a regular QuarkXPress layout. The original layout is automatically updated when the file is saved. This live peer-to-peer collaboration lets large or small groups work the way they want — over a network, through e-mail messages, or instant messaging.Enhanced Measurements paletteQuarkXPress 7 has the most streamlined interface of any layout tool on the market. The Measurements palette has been enhanced to include almost all the core design functionality in an easy-to-access palette. You can also group other palettes and save preferred palette configurations.Image-handling enhancementsQuarkXPress 7 provides more control over images than any other application and easily integrates with industry-standard industry file formats such as native Adobe Photoshop (.psd) images.Quark Vista XTensionsThis software, included with QuarkXPress, adds industrial strength image-editing effects to QuarkXPress. You can create special effects and correct images with adjustments to brightness/contrast, color balance, and hue/saturation. This feature manages color automatically, and you can use it to soften image masks for perfect compositing of images and background layouts. QuarkVista enhancements continue to expand your capability to edit images within the context of a QuarkXPress layout rather than in another application.Use alpha masks to create eye-catching, graphically sophisticated effects without leaving QuarkXPress. That means less time spent switching back and forth between QuarkXPress and an image-editing application.OpenType and UnicodeWith support for OpenType and Unicode®, QuarkXPress 7 users can apply advanced ligatures, alternate characters, and extended character sets easily and reliably for international documents and high-end typographic effects.PDF/X, JDF, and PPML: New output formatsGain the accuracy of a start-to-finish PDF/X workflow for the promise of a problem-free, print deliverable hand off. Rules can be built to check for PDF/X workflow from ...
