BPf Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I would like to have two (or more) image frames set up (linked) such that when loading an image to one of them, the other(s) show the same image - with different adjustments applied. Is that possible, if so, how? Appreciate your feedback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulEC Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Create as many pages in Publisher as you want to have different adjustments applied. Set up a Master Page, put a picture frame on it and insert an image. Using Studio Link open each page in Photo and apply the adjustment you want. Back in Publisher, when you change the image on the Master Page, it will update on the pages.

BPf Posted October 21, 2020 Author Share Posted October 21, 2020 Great approach, however, I seem to not have put my problem well enough: what would I do if I want those frames to be on the same page? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had to guess and I am as I don't have time to test it... I would create the image "frame" as a symbol, group it and add its adjustments above it in the group Duplicate the process using the same symbol with different adjustments as required When you change the image in the symbol it will change in all instances of that symbol but the various adjustments will remain unchanged h_d 1 Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

h_d Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Publisher doesn't have Symbols, but you can do it somewhat more simply using Resource Manager. I think you probably need to have your document set to Prefer Linked, not Prefer Embedded. Place on image on the page, then duplicate it as many times as you need. Group the adjustments with the image frames as per @carl123's suggestion above, then from Document - Resource Manager select the image name and click Replace: Choose another image and...

BPf Posted October 21, 2020 Author Share Posted October 21, 2020 Thanks a lot for your replies - it took me a bit to find out how to actually do this but it works beautifully - so much to learn .... h_d 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
