In one awesome package, BigPicture gives you the most comprehensive solution for managing graphics and links you’ve ever seen.

With BigPicture, you get instant access to detailed image information, customizable views, a convenient built-in search and relink engine, plus amazing link and edit tools.

This cutting-edge BigPicture update combines list and thumbnail views, and supports any version of QuarkXPress from 4.1 to 6.5.

Here are some key features of "BigPicture":
Update all modified pictures in one step (great for daylight-saving time changes).
Unlink images using any of these options: retain only picture name and preview, or retain only screen preview (“No Disk File”).
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 (regardless of its current status) with another, while retaining original transformations such as scaling and box offset.
Move a group of pictures to a different folder, so you can organize images by page, type or any other criteria you choose.
Reveal image file in the Finder, or show picture location in document or master pages.

Limitations:
Full featured demo for 30 minutes in each of the first 10 QuarkXPress sessions.
