9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Moving on with other types of frames,[br]including image frames.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So, we looked at using the type tool[br]to draw our frame, now we're going to use

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
our rectangle or other frames which is [br]right here to draw some

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
areas for some images.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So, this looks a lot like our standard[br]rectangle, but it isn't, notice here we've

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
got this X going through the rectangle?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
That's a frame.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Whereas here, which is a regular [br]rectangle tool,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
it acts like a shape.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Underneath the rectangle frame tool, [br]you have a circular version or

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
a polygon version, all of those are [br]great.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Remember frames are going to be used[br]to sort-of contain the area of the image,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
it's almost like, um, a picture frame.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So, let's just start with the rectangle [br]frame and I am simply going to

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
draw out an area where I want my image[br]to go; I just click and drag, there it is,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
there's the frame, big ol' X in the[br]middle.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Now again, this is different than a [br]rectangle.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I'm going to use this as a place holder[br]for now, or place my image

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
if I'm ready to go.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Often, you can create a design where you[br]lay it out without any of your information

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
yet, maybe you send it to a photographer,[br]they fill in the images, vice versa.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Okay, so, let's go ahead and place a[br]graphic; a couple ways to do this, its

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
going to go inside this frame, so if[br]you've clicked off for some reason,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
you can click back on it, make sure you've[br]got it selected with your selection tool,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
you can use the quick action down here [br]called import file or file place.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
These are the same--getcha to the same [br]place.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Okay, so file, place, you're going to[br]navigate to where your image might be,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I've got some images ready to go in this[br]Lorax folder and I'm just going to grab

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
one of them; this little Lorax,[br]here we go, open.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Now, important to note, images are always[br]placed at 100% of their size, so if you're

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
working with photographs you need to [br]make sure you're working in photoshop,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
editing it correctly, sizing it to the[br]correct size and resolution before

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
putting it into InDesign.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So, you can see this file actually is a[br]little bit smaller than my frame but,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that's okay, I can always adjust my frame[br]using my selection tool, so I can

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
drag it in from the top to the bottom,[br]or if you want to do that a little bit

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
quicker, so there's no space around it,[br]you can use frame fitting down here.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So, there's some really good opportunities[br]here.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
you can fill your frame proportionally,[br]now this is an interesting one where

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
it does make it feel like it sized it,[br]but again, if your image is low quality

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
you might notice some degradation,[br]so it basically filled it out

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
proportionally, so not skewing it, [br]but you do loose some of your image.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We have fit content proportionally,[br]so that will fit it towards the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
top and bottom edge, but it's not actually[br]skewed it.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Then we have some fit content to frame,[br]watch what happens, this is stretch it

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
so, I don't really recommend that.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Same idea, uh, actually this fourth one is[br]a really good one where this one makes

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
your frame go down to size of your actual[br]image and then this autofit sometimes

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
can also be really useful, this is going[br]to, um,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
autofit your frame and your content[br]together, so those can be good.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But let's divide into what's happening in[br]this actual image.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Now, we've got our frame, this is the[br]bounding box, I can see all eight

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
of those editing boxes, I can move my [br]frame in, notice I'm not moving the image

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I'm moving the frame because I've got the[br]frame with that blue box,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
so all I'm doing is adjusting the frame,[br]image is staying the same,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the frame kind-of acts like a cropping[br]mechanism in this case, so that's useful.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I can, of course, make a skewed frame by[br]using my direct selection tool.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I can also, think about how to work with[br]the actual image.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Now, so far, I've only been using the[br]frame.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The image itself, if you hover over, [br]in this middle zone, you get what's called

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
content grabber, click here, just once, [br]now, we have a new colorful edge,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
this is like this orange kind-of golden[br]color, right?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
You see that?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So, that is the image, not the frame,[br]the moment you enter the content

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
grabber, you're working with the image.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
If I move, notice I'm moving the image, [br]you can see the orange bounding box,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I've just shifted this whole image over, [br]which is getting it really misaligned

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to my frame, so be really careful,[br]now look, my frame is in the same spot,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
but my image is way over.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
If you want to size up or down, scaling,[br]your actual image, not the frame,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
this is where you go, you need to be on [br]the orange bounding box.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Now, holding shift is important depending[br]on your version that keeps it proportional

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
so you aren't skewing your image and then[br]come into the image and get it aligned

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
with your frame in the way that you want[br]it to be aligned.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Now again, let's do this one more time.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I'm going to go ahead and just click off,[br]click anywhere else.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Normal, image, frame, blue,[br]blue bounding box, the moment I enter the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
content grabber right here in the middle,[br]orange bounding box, that orange bounding

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
box is how I can scale up or down, [br]I can move the image

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
let to right, excreta.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
If you are attempting--now I've got things[br]real crazy here--if you are attempting

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to move them both at the same time,[br]if you just grab your actual frame,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
you should be able to carry them together.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
If you want to scale them together at the[br]same time--oops command-Z--shift and

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
command are what you need to do,[br]so I'm going to back myself up.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So, notice I just got the blue bounding[br]box, I'm going to hold down shift and

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
command, that tells InDesign 'resize the[br]frame and resize the content',

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
shift and command, their both getting [br]smaller in the same proportion.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Okay, so that is our basics of working [br]with images.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I'm going to delete this, now I'm going[br]to draw a couple other frames,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
let's do something more interesting,[br]let's do a polygon.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Remember if you hold shift you're[br]going to keep things proportional.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Polygon, I know it's a frame, it has the [br]X.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Let's try the import file.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Import file, find your file, say open,[br]now its placed it in their, now again,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
its not quite right as far as the sizing [br]goes, so do I need to edit

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the size of the frame?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I can use the selection tool, [br]editing the size of the frame,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
making it fit a little bit better to my[br]content, scaling it down, now I have a

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
frame that's constraining my image[br]to this particular shape.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So, if I need to edit the image itself, [br]click on the content grabber, now I see

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the orange frame and I know this is the[br]image scaling it up or down, left or right.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Okay, other ways of working.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
You can always draw out your design first,[br]knowing perhaps that you want a big image,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
draw it out, maybe you want one smaller [br]image, put it right here, and perhaps you

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
want some text, you could just draw some[br]text right there and maybe fill it with

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
some dummy text right here so you can[br]start to build your design.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
If you want to place more than one image[br]at a time, we can do that.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I'm going to go back here, I'm going do[br]do file, place, and let's say I absolutely

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
know I want this one and the one beneath[br]it, I'm going to hold the shift key,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I've grabbed two files and say open,[br]now look what's happened to my cursor,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
it is preloaded with my two files, it has[br]an icon that says number two, if you

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
use your arrow on your keyboard you can[br]scroll through to get a preview of which

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
one you're starting with.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I want to start with this one and I'm[br]going to place it here, now its preloaded

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
my second one and I'm going to place it[br]in this frame.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Now, this one of course, was not quite[br]the right size, so maybe I want to do

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
some frame fitting, I can fill the[br]frame proportionally, here it looks like

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I'm not quite there either with the actual[br]image size, I'm going to leave it for now

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
just to keep it simple, but that's a way[br]where you can load multiple images

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
into your cursor and then place them on [br]fly really quickly.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So, practice placing your images,[br]also called importing, drawing out your

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
image frames and understanding how to[br]edit them with the content grabber

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and the bounding box.
