ElectricGutter Posted November 17, 2021 Posted November 17, 2021 Good Morning, Is there a way to bulk replace image files in a Publisher document? I did the initial layout using linked jpegs. I now want to replace all the images with full rez tiffs. Adobe InDesign allows all images to be selected and then relink them to another folder. I've used the Resource Manager to replace single images. This requires you to choose theimage you want to replace the original with. I want to select 75 to 100 images — choose a folder — and let the software do the rest. Thanks sbe and Wosven 2 Quote

Publisher in 1.10 allows all missing images to be relinked. However, you're not talking about relinking; you're talking about replacing with files of a different name (something.tiff rather than something.jpg). Replacing will have to be done one at a time.

ElectricGutter Posted November 17, 2021 Author Posted November 17, 2021 Thanks, that's why I used both terms. Affinity Publisher calls it "Replacing" and Adobe InDesign calls it "Relinking" InDesign has a function called: Relink to folder It then offers two options: - Match same filename and extension - Match same filename but this extension It will then replace all the files whether there's 1 or ... Thanks Quote
walt.farrell Posted November 17, 2021 Posted November 17, 2021 For Relinking, Publisher has only the first of those options.

ElectricGutter Posted November 18, 2021 Author Posted November 18, 2021 Thanks for all your responses. Looks like I'll be "replacing" one at a time. Quote

What "new JPG images" do you mean? The OP wants to replace the old JPGs with higher resolution tiff versions, not with new JPGs. EDIT: To clarify, I am assuming the OP already has the tiff versions locally, or can download them from somewhere.

OK, but wouldn't they still be compressed JPEG files (even at 100% quality) vs. uncompressed TIFF's? I am assuming the OP wants to avoid any quality loss, which is the reason for the request for "full rez tiffs."

True, but if they are working with really low-res JPG files for performance, then full-res JPG files may be good enough. Only the OP can know, of course.

sbe Posted March 1, 2022 Posted March 1, 2022 This is a standardized workflow in the printing industry. First you work with the small JPG files in the concept and layout phase, and then in the last step (e.g. Final Art) you replace them with the very high-resolution and resource-hungry TIFF files and transfer them to prepress for maximum quality in production.
