To import a picture, do one of the following:

• Choose File > Import.
• Select the Picture Content tool , select a picture box, and then choose File > Import.
• Select the Picture Content tool , select a picture box, and then paste a picture from the clipboard.
• Drag a picture file from the file system onto a picture box.
• Drag a picture from another application onto a picture box.
• Press Command/Ctrl and drag a picture file from the file system onto a text box, a no-content box, an empty picture box, or a box that contains a picture.
• Press Command/Ctrl and drag a picture from another application onto a text box, a no-content box, an empty picture box, or a box that contains a picture.

If you drag content onto a box that already contains text or a picture, QuarkXPress creates a new box for the dragged content. To replace the contents of the box instead, press Command/Ctrl while dragging the content to the box. To always create a new box for dragged-in content, press Option/Alt while dragging.

When you import a picture, the image is imported at full size, with the origin (upper-left corner) in the upper-left corner of the box’s bounding box. With the Picture Content tool selected, the picture’s full image displays beyond the box boundary.

You may need to resize or reposition a picture after you import it to make it fit properly within its box.
