Working with PSD paths

You can also use PSD Import to choose among embedded paths for specifying clipping and runaround. The Paths pane in the PSD Import palette provides convenient access to the clipping-path and text-runaround functions in QuarkXPress

Using the Paths pane, you can select different clipping paths to use for text runaround contours. To select a text runaround contour, click the empty box in the first column. The Text Runaround icon displays and the text wraps around the contours of the clipping path.

Note: For text runaround to occur, the picture box needs to be in front of the text. If the text is not wrapping, select the picture box and choose Item > Bring Forward or Item > Bring to Front.

You also can use the Paths pane to control the display of an image by selecting a clipping path you created in Photoshop. To select a clipping path, click in the empty box in the second column. The Clipping Path icon displays and the area of the picture within the selected clipping path displays.

You can reverse any changes you make to paths in PSD Import. The paths will revert to their original state as they were created in the imported PSD file. To do this, choose Revert Path or Revert All Paths from the PSD Import palette or context menu.
