Replacing multiple images in a Publisher document

[ElectricGutter]

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 the
image 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

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.

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

For Relinking, Publisher has only the first of those options.

In APhoto (or another program) batch convert all .tiff files to .jpg files

(I have no idea how much this will affect the final quality)

I thought the OP was asking about replacing the jpg files with tiff versions. Isn't what you are suggesting the opposite of that (converting tiff files to jpg ones)?

There's method in my perceived madness

Approach the problem from a different angle

Thanks for all your responses.

 

Looks like I'll be "replacing" one at a time.

I do not understand how batch converting .tiff files to .jpg files would help with what the OP wants to do, which is replace the jpg files (presumably already in the apub document) with "full rez tiffs."

Can you explain more about how that would help?

Tomorrow, if no one else explains what I mean

things to do now

Depends on how "low-res" the current JPG images are, and how "high-res" the new JPG images are.

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.

The ones that Carl proposed the OP create from the TIFFs to make Relink work to update the Publisher document in one operation.

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.

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.
