By: E&P Staff WoodWing Software, Detroit and Zaandam, The Netherlands, has released Smart Image for Adobe Creative Suite 4, an aid to designers in placing photos on an InDesign page by automatically creating caption and credit text frames containing the embedded metadata stored within the photograph (e.g., copyright, location, subjects, keywords).
Smart Image automatically creates the desired text frames in InDesign and places them according to user preferences, helping avoid repetitive, time-consuming tasks.
Smart Image CS4 allows users to selectively import caption and description information, credit information or both; set object, paragraph and character styling of imported text; specify position, width, and rotation of imported information; and insert custom text such as "photo by" or "all rights reserved" to imported information.
Preferences for Smart Image are stored within the InDesign document itself, making styles based on user, company, or project easy to manage without copying settings files between computers. It also allows caption and credit placeholders to be created and styled so that when a photograph is placed in a frame, its metadata can come in styled automatically.
