		<description><![CDATA[Learn when you need to use the free QuarkXPress Document Converter: 1) Convert legacy documents, 2) Remove Pasteboard XT references and 3) Remove web (HTML4) and Interactive (Flash, SWF) layouts.]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A few days ago Quark released the free QuarkXPress Document Converter 1.2.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s when you need the QuarkXPress Document Converter, which is available for OS X and Windows:</p>
<h2></h2>
<h2>1) Convert legacy documents when using a newer version of QuarkXPress</h2>
<p>In 2006, so with QuarkXPress 7, Quark modernized the type method of QuarkXPress. So QuarkXPress 7 was the first version to support OpenType functionality of fonts and also uses Unicode to address an kind of glyph in QuarkXPress.</p>
<p>For compatibility reasons, QuarkXPress 7, 8 &amp; 9 continued to carry the older methods, so non-Unicode type and old hyphenation methods and type code not suitable for modern needs.</p>
<p>In 2013, so seven years later, Quark decided to cut out the old code, making QuarkXPress leaner, faster and truly modern.</p>
<p>However, that meant also that QuarkXPress 10 could not open documents that had been last saved by QuarkXPress 6 or before. For that reason Quark released the free QuarkXPress Document Converter, which converts the legacy documents to version 9 documents, which of course can be directly opened with QuarkXPress 10, 2015 and 2016.</p>
<p><strong>Bottomline:</strong> Use the QuarkXPress Document Converter if you use QuarkXPress 10, 2105 or 2016 and need to open documents last saved by QuarkXPress 6 or before.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.planetquark.com/2016/08/15/what-is-the-free-quarkxpress-document-converter/qxp3-3/" rel="attachment wp-att-10225"><img class="alignnone wp-image-10225" src="http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/QXP3.3.png" alt="QXP3.3" width="333" height="209" srcset="http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/QXP3.3.png 477w, http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/QXP3.3-300x188.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 333px) 100vw, 333px" /></a></p>
<h2></h2>
<h2>2) Remove Pasteboard XT references</h2>
<p>In the early 90&#8217;s an independent XTension developer released Pasteboard XT. While the idea was great, to extend the space of the pasteboard in QuarkXPress, it unfortunately registered itself as a &#8220;required XTension&#8221;. Meaning that if you had the XTension enabled, every document that you saved also required it, even if you didn&#8217;t make use of its functionality. It soon was the first (and only) QuarkXPress &#8220;virus&#8221; ever.</p>
<p>Though an Pasteboard XTerminator was released a few years later, still many legacy documents, especially from version 4 and 5, carry the flag that Pasteboard XT is needed to be opened. And as nowadays the XTension doesn&#8217;t exist anymore, they cannot be opened anymore. Unless you use the free QuarkXPress Document Converter, which can remove the reference and allow you to open these documents with QuarkXPress 9 or higher.</p>
<p><strong>Bottomline:</strong> Use the QuarkXPress Converter if you use QuarkXPress 9, 10, 2105 or 2016 and need to open documents that contain references to the Pasteboard XT and you don&#8217;t use Pasteboard XT.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.planetquark.com/2016/08/15/what-is-the-free-quarkxpress-document-converter/pasteboard/" rel="attachment wp-att-10227"><img class="alignnone wp-image-10227" src="http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/pasteboard.png" alt="pasteboard" width="333" height="84" srcset="http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/pasteboard.png 434w, http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/pasteboard-300x75.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 333px) 100vw, 333px" /></a></p>
<h2></h2>
<h2>3) Remove Web layouts and Flash layouts</h2>
<p>In 2002 with version 5 QuarkXPress first added digital publishing capabilities, introducing an HTML4 authoring and export capability. A web layout was a separate layout type that you could create alongside with print layouts. With QuarkXPress 7 you could also author and export Flash layouts (SWF).</p>
<p>The world has progressed and nowadays nobody wants to create HTML4 and Flash (SWF) anymore. QuarkXPress 2016 offers more modern formats for digital publishing, so HTML5 Publications, native Apps for Android and iOS and eBooks (in ePub and Kindle format). Thus the former, HTML4-based web layout and Interactive (Flash) layouts have been discontinued with QuarkXPress 10 and higher.</p>
<p>So if you want to open a project that contains a Print layout along with e.g. a Flash layout, QuarkXPress 10, 2015 and 2016 cannot open it. THus use the free QuarkXPress Document Converter, as it can remove Web layouts and Flash layouts out of projects with Print layouts. Afterwards you can open the project ad have all Print layouts available in QuarkXPress 10, 2015 or 2016.</p>
<p><strong>Bottomline:</strong> Use the QuarkXPress Converter if you use QuarkXPress 10, 2105 or 2016 and need to open documents that contain print layouts along with web layouts or Flash layouts.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.planetquark.com/2016/08/15/what-is-the-free-quarkxpress-document-converter/qxp9_layouttypes/" rel="attachment wp-att-10226"><img class="alignnone wp-image-10226" src="http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/QXP9_layouttypes.png" alt="QXP9_layouttypes" width="333" height="368" srcset="http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/QXP9_layouttypes.png 800w, http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/QXP9_layouttypes-271x300.png 271w, http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/QXP9_layouttypes-768x849.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 333px) 100vw, 333px" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Have millions of layouts that need to be converted?</h3>
<p>If you have numerous documents that need to be converted, QuarkXPress Document Converter makes it easy for you: Instead of converting each document step-by-step, just point QuarkXPress Document Converter to a folder containing QuarkXPress documents. QuarkXPress Document Converter will convert them all in one go.</p>
<p>And of course QuarkXPress Document Converter will not overwrite your existing files, it will create new ones with the same name and adding &#8220;_v9&#8221; to their file names.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Need to import <span style="text-decoration: underline;">all</span> pages of a PDF into QuarkXPress 2015/2016 in one go?</p>
<p>Look no further, as Creationauts has released an XTension to QuarkXPress 2015 and 2016 that does exactly that:<br />
<a href="http://www.creationauts.com/">http://www.creationauts.com/</a></p>
<p>PDF Importer Basic and PDF Importer Pro are available for QuarkXPress on Mac and on Windows and allow you to specify which pages of a PDF file you want to import. Of course you can also import all pages of the PDF document.</p>
<p>The &#8220;Pro&#8221; variant additionally allows you to convert PDF objects into editable objects. So needless to say that this requires QuarkXPress 2016 then.</p>
<p>Both XTensions are available at a very competitive price, $9.99 for the PDF Importer Basic and $19.99 for PDF Importer Pro.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">If you like it, please hurry, as Creationauts runs a promo until July 15th, 2016, where Basic just costs $1.99 and Pro just $9.99.</span></p>

		<description><![CDATA[In 2014 Quark asked all users of QuarkXPress to rank the wishlist. The result of the ranking drove the development of QuarkXPress 2015 and 2016. For example, PDF/X-4, larger page size, footnotes/endnotes, multi-color gradients and color picker (eyedropper tool) had been ranked in the TOP 20 and therefore were built into the last two versions.

Quark will conduct a new ranking survey soon, so please help build the wishlist today.]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>QuarkXPress users have always been very passionate. So it is no surprise that there exist many enhancement wishes for future versions of QuarkXPress, from small improvements to large feature requests.</p>
<p>In order to give the individual enhancements the right priority, in 2014 Quark conducted a survey to have users rank the wishlist (by individual importance).</p>
<blockquote><p>The result of the ranking drove the development of QuarkXPress 2015 and 2016.</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">For example, in 2014 <strong>PDF/X-4, larger page size, footnotes/endnotes, multi-color gradients and color picker (eyedropper tool)</strong> had been ranked in the TOP 20 and therefore were built into the last two versions.</span></p>
<p>Of course there will be a few features where Quark will add some new innovations, like in QuarkXPress 2016 with HTML5 Publications and Convert PDF to Editable Objects.</p></blockquote>
<p>And now Quark is asking you again, though there is no major new version on the horizon yet.</p>
<p>Remember, it&#8217;s pre-ranking time, so it is <strong>building</strong> the wishlist currently, meaning Quark is asking you, which features should be put on the ranking ballot.</p>
<p><strong>So please participate.</strong></p>
<p>Of course if you have submitted a wishlist item before, through tech support, Quark&#8217;s forums or social media sites or over the phone, these are already on the wishlist.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Enter your suggestion here please:</strong></h2>
<p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/quarkxpress/permalink/1205666106118504/">https://www.facebook.com/groups/quarkxpress/permalink/1205666106118504/</a></p>
<p>(also visit this link if you are just curious what others are asking to see in future versions)</p>
<p>Though there can&#8217;t be any guarantee that your feature wish will be implemented, <span style="color: #0000ff;">the past experience shows that Quark let <strong>you</strong> – the users of QuarkXPress – set the majority of QuarkXPress&#8217; roadmap</span>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>

Now there's another reason why QuarkXPress Document Converter comes in handy: It can remove references to Pasteboard XT and delete Web layouts and Interactive layouts in documents created in QuarkXPress 7, 8 and 9.]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Quark released a new version of QuarkXPress Document Converter.</p>
<p>Version 1.1 is a free download:<br />
Mac OS X: <a href="http://www.quark.com/Support/Downloads/Details.aspx?fid=289">http://www.quark.com/Support/Downloads/Details.aspx?fid=289</a><br />
Windows: <a href="http://www.quark.com/Support/Downloads/Details.aspx?fid=288">http://www.quark.com/Support/Downloads/Details.aspx?fid=288</a></p>
<p>You <span style="text-decoration: underline;">need</span> the QuarkXPress Document Converter to (batch) convert documents from v6 and below, so that QuarkXPress 10, 2015 or 2016 can open these.</p>
<p>The notable new features in <strong>QuarkXPress Document Converter version 1.1</strong> are:</p>
<ol>
<li>QuarkXPress Document <span class="highlightNode">Converter</span> will now be able to strip Web layouts and Interactive layouts out of legacy projects during conversion. Only Print and App Studio layouts within the legacy project will be retained after conversion.</li>
<li>QuarkXPress Document <span class="highlightNode">Converter</span> will now be able to remove Pasteboard XTension slug from the legacy documents during conversion.</li>
</ol>
<p>So that means – even though you do not need QuarkXPress Document Converter for documents created in QuarkXPress 7, 8 or 9 – these two new features might be the reason to still run them through it.</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Bottom-line might be that QuarkXPress Document Converter will wash them clean… ;-)</span></p>

<p>QuarkXPress – da war doch mal was, nicht wahr? Haben wir nicht alle damit gearbeitet? Damals, in den Neunzigern… Doch dann kam das dunkle Zeitalter: Quark war resistent gegen alle Verbesserungsvorschläge von Benutzern, die Versionen 5 und 6 waren fehlerhaft und korrigierende Updates kamen selten. Nur gut, dass Adobe InDesign auf den Markt brachte und damit die Möglichkeit zum Wechsel bestand.</p>
<p>Ein bisschen scheint es, als stünden wir gerade wieder vor einer Wechselmöglichkeit. Adobe marschiert in das dunkle Zeitalter: Die Programme der CC-Suite gibt es nur noch im Miet-Abo, die Fehler in der Software nehmen zu und was das Hören auf die Kunden betrifft… naja.</p>
<p>Und wieder bietet sich eine Alternative, eine neue Hoffnung: QuarkXPress 2016 ist auf dem Markt!</p>
<p>Als IT-Consultant im Publishing-Bereich, hatte ich schon früh die Möglichkeit QuarkXPress 2016 auszuprobieren und zu testen. Dabei fällt gleich auf, dass Quark das gesamte Produkt &#8211; mehr noch als schon in QuarkXPress 2015, an die Bedürfnisse des modernen Publishings und die Bedürfnisse der Layout und Design Profis angepasst hat. Und es scheint, als könne Quark vorausahnen, was der Benutzer in den nächsten Jahren wirklich braucht.</p>
<h2><strong>Importierte Elemente in native QuarkXPress Objekte umwandeln</strong></h2>
<p>Darf man heutzutage noch von Killer-Features reden? Also von Funktionen, die der Autor für so gut hält, dass sie die Kraft haben, eine Wende herbei zu führen? Dieses Feature ist für mich ein solches Killer-Feature. Importierte PDFs, Illustrator-Grafiken, EPS oder sogar Excel-Tabellen können in native QuarkXPress-Objekte umgewandelt werden. Dabei werden Texte zu Texten und Pfade zu Pfaden. Die Geschäftsausstattung eines Kunden liegt nur noch als PDF vor? Kein Problem: Das PDF importieren, aus dem Kontextmenü „In native Objekte konvertieren“ wählen und man erhält typografisch korrekte Textrahmen, Pfade der Designelemente sinnvoll gruppiert und die benutzten Farben automatisch zur Farbpalette hinzugefügt. Ja, es wird nicht jedes Detail bei der Konvertierung wiederhergestellt: Etwa vorhandene Transparenzen müssen neu erstellt oder Stilvorlagen neu angelegt und angewendet werden. Aber dieses Feature sorgt dafür, dass der Designer nicht zum hundertsten Mal von Anfang an beginnen muss. Das spart Arbeit und Zeit. Genauso wie die Möglichkeit, Elemente aus Microsoft-Office-Produkten oder aus Numbers, Pages, Keynote oder aus Adobe Illustrator und InDesign heraus zu kopieren und als native Objekte in QuarkXPress einzufügen. Ja, der ist Autor begeistert.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>HTML5 publizieren</strong></h2>
<p>Besonders beeindruckt hat mich auch, wie einfach es mit QuarkXPress 2016 geworden ist, ein Layout in HTML5 zu erstellen. Mit ein paar einfachen Klicks kann ein Design, das keine Features vermissen lässt, mit interaktiven Finessen versehen werden und in HTML umgewandelt werden. Liebes Quark-Team: So hätte das gerne damals schon mit Immedia funktionieren dürfen.</p>
<p>Selbstverständlich können auch bestehende Druck-Layouts genommen und in HTML5 exportiert werden: Datei öffnen, Layout als Digitales Layout duplizieren, Layout als HTML5-Publikation exportieren, fertig. Das Ergebnis ist ein Ordner mit index.html, Fonts, Bildern, Javaskripten und CSS – einfach auf einen Webserver legen, aufrufen, fertig. Wer sich das Ergebnis schon vor dem Export ansehen möchte, kann dafür die eingebettete Vorschau-Funktion nutzen. QuarkXPress lädt das Layout dann in den Standard-Webbrowser und schon sieht man in Safari, Chrome oder Firefox, was man später im Web bekommt.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_10148" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/bf_macman_digital.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-10148" src="http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/bf_macman_digital-300x178.png" alt="Anwenden von Animationen in einem digitalen Layout" width="300" height="178" srcset="http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/bf_macman_digital-300x178.png 300w, http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/bf_macman_digital-768x455.png 768w, http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/bf_macman_digital-1024x606.png 1024w, http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/bf_macman_digital.png 1105w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Anwenden von Animationen in einem digitalen Layout</p></div>
<div id="attachment_10149" style="width: 278px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/bf_macman_digital_preview.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-10149" src="http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/bf_macman_digital_preview-268x300.png" alt="Die Preview des Artikels inklusive der Animation im Webbrowser." width="268" height="300" srcset="http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/bf_macman_digital_preview-268x300.png 268w, http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/bf_macman_digital_preview-768x859.png 768w, http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/bf_macman_digital_preview.png 881w" sizes="(max-width: 268px) 100vw, 268px" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Die Preview des Artikels inklusive der Animation im Webbrowser.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Auch das Hinzufügen von interaktiven Elementen ist simpel: Mit der HTML5-Palette kann der Benutzer Schaltflächen und Popups erstellen, Videos oder Töne einbinden, Animationen generieren und Diashows vorbereiten. Die Benutzerführung ist dabei so einfach, dass man es auch kann, wenn man noch nie vorher mit einer Webseite oder einen interaktiven Powerpoint gearbeitet hat.</p>
<p>Selbstverständlich kann man QuarkXPress Layouts auch für eBooks exportieren. Dabei lässt sich festgelegen, ob das Layout fixiert sein oder ob reflow, etwa bei unterschiedlichen Frontgrößen, erlaubt ist. Selbstverständlich kann ein Layout auch direkt an KindleGen übergeben werden.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Farbwähler-Werkzeug</strong></h2>
<p>Bei der Farbauswahl ist Quark nun endlich mit Adobe gleichgezogen. Mit der neuen Farbauswahl-Pipette von QuarkXPress 2016 kann der Anwender nun aus jedem geladenen Objekt die Farben auswählen. Diese werden in die Farbauswahlpalette übernommen und können von dort aus per Doppelklick in die Farbpalette übernommen werden. Eine Schaltfläche erlaubt es zudem, alle Farben auf einmal in die Farbpalette zu übernehmen. So schnell konnten Farben in QuarkXPress noch nie eingesetzt werden. Wenn ich diese jetzt noch direkt aus der Farbauswahlpalette nutzen könnte …</p>
<div id="attachment_10150" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/bf_macman_farbwaehler.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-10150" src="http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/bf_macman_farbwaehler-300x262.png" alt="Mit dem Farbwähler können Farben aus importierten Bildern einfach in die Farbpalette übernommen werden" width="300" height="262" srcset="http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/bf_macman_farbwaehler-300x262.png 300w, http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/bf_macman_farbwaehler-768x671.png 768w, http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/bf_macman_farbwaehler.png 902w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Mit dem Farbwähler können Farben aus importierten Bildern einfach in die Farbpalette übernommen werden</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Mehrstufige Farbverläufe</strong></h2>
<p>Endlich. InDesign und Illustrator beherrschen mehrstufige Farbverläufe schon seit langem. Was dort gut funktioniert, hat nun auch endlich bei QuarkXPress Einzug gehalten: Konnte ein Verlauf bisher nur von einer Farbe zur anderen definiert werden, sind Farbverläufe nun in nahezu beliebig vielen (bei 40 hat der Autor den Test beendet) Farbübergängen möglich. Darüberhinaus können die einzelnen Übergangspunkte auch noch mit unterschiedlichen Transparenzen versehen werden. Dies ist neu, selbst für InDesign-Benutzer. Und in Verbindung mit Objektstilen kann ein einmal angelegter Verlauf auch immer wieder angewendet werden</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Weitere Verbesserungen</strong></h2>
<p>Auf der Webseite von Quark, von der man bequem eine Testversion laden kann, sind darüber hinaus auch noch kleine Demo-Videos zu weiteren neuen Features zu sehen, beispielsweise:</p>
<ul>
<li>Unterstützung für OpenType Stylistic Sets</li>
<li>Weitere Verbesserung der Benutzeroberfläche</li>
<li>Einheitliche XTension-Schnittstelle</li>
<li>Zusätzliche dynamische Hilfslinien</li>
<li>Unterstützung des Touchpads (nur auf Macs)</li>
<li>Vergrößerung der Maßpalette</li>
<li>Option für Zeilenumbruch von Inhaltsvariablen</li>
<li>Textrahmen an Text anpassen</li>
<li>Suchen und Ersetzen von geschützten Leerzeichen</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Fazit: Probieren Sie es selbst</strong></h2>
<p>Wenn Sie QuarkXPress in den letzten Jahren keine Beachtung geschenkt haben, weil Sie mit InDesign glücklich waren, lohnt sich spätestens jetzt ein Blick auf die neue Version. QuarkXPress 2016 ist ein stabiles und schnelles Werkzeug zur Erstellung von digitalen und gedruckten Publikationen. Im Vergleich zu InDesign CC lässt das neue „Quark“ kaum noch Wünsche offen, in manchen Bereichen überflügelt es dieses sogar bereits deutlich.</p>
<p>Ausserdem ist es als klassische Kauflizenz für 999 Euro zu erwerben und kann für den Preis 399 Euro von jeder Vorversion aktualisiert werden. Besitzer von QuarkXPress 2015 können sogar schon für 199 Euro auf QXP2016 umsteigen, im Bildungsbereich sind Lizenzen schon ab 79 Euro zu haben.</p>

</blockquote>
<p style="text-align: left">La nuova versione di QuarkXPress, la 2016, si arricchisce di nuove funzioni per creare layout di qualità oltre a migliorare funzioni già presenti dalla versione 2015.<br />
I test fatti sull&#8217;ultima release di maggio 2016 hanno evidenziato un’ottima stabilità e affidabilità. Sono stati sistemati problemi presenti nella versione 2015 come per esempio la palette “Ombreggiatura” che a volte non visualizzava i campi per impostare i valori oppure l’importazione difettosa di alcuni formati (per esempio alcuni .eps).</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center"></h2>
<h1 style="text-align: center"><span style="color: #000000"><strong>Grafica</strong></span></h1>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><span style="color: #ff0000"><strong>Conversione in oggetti nativi</strong></span></h2>
<p>Con la versione 2016 è possibile trasformare in oggetti nativi (quindi modificabili direttamente in XPress) sia oggetti copiati da altri programmi ed incollati in XPress, come oggetti nativi (PDF, .ai, Excel, Affinity Designer etc), sia convertire elementi già presenti nell’impaginato. Nell’esempio riportato di seguito la scritta ondulata è stata copiata da Affinity Designer e incollata direttamente in un documento di QuarkXPress 2016.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">             <a href="http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Articolo_1_PlaQua_000.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-10113" src="http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Articolo_1_PlaQua_000.png" alt="Articolo_1_PlaQua_000" width="256" height="91" /></a></p>
<p>Il poter convertire tramite il comando “Converti in oggetti nativi” tutti gli elementi importati in un impaginato come eps, .ai, excel, powerpoint etc., permette a tutti coloro che non dispongono dei programmi specifici per aprire tali file di rendere modificabili elementi che altrimenti bisognerebbe ricostruire da zero.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2 style="text-align: left"> <span style="color: #ff0000"><strong>Contagocce</strong></span></h2>
<p style="text-align: left">Sempre in ambito grafico è ora disponibile lo strumento contagocce che permette di catturare e memorizzare temporaneamente (al piede della palette colori) colori applicati ad elementi presenti nell’impaginato siano essi vettoriali o bit map. Una volta eseguita la selezione temporanea dei colori campione è possibile decidere quali aggiungere definitivamente nella palette e quali no.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Articolo_1_PlaQua_001.png"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-10112 size-medium" src="http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Articolo_1_PlaQua_001-300x177.png" alt="Articolo_1_PlaQua_001" width="300" height="177" srcset="http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Articolo_1_PlaQua_001-300x177.png 300w, http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Articolo_1_PlaQua_001.png 717w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><span style="color: #ff0000"><strong>Sfumature di colore</strong></span></h2>
<p>Quark introduce le sfumature multicolore ed è quindi possibile applicare sfumature multiple a box immagine e box testo. In questo esempio sono riportate 2 tipologie di sfumatura:<br />
– radiale, applicata al rettangolo (creato in XPress)<br />
– lineare, applicata da un oggetto creato con un’applicazione esterna (Affinity Designer) e incollato come oggetto nativo in XPress.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Articolo_1_PlaQua_002.png"><img class="alignnone wp-image-10111 size-full" src="http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Articolo_1_PlaQua_002.png" alt="Articolo_1_PlaQua_002" width="518" height="647" srcset="http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Articolo_1_PlaQua_002.png 518w, http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Articolo_1_PlaQua_002-240x300.png 240w" sizes="(max-width: 518px) 100vw, 518px" /></a></p>
<p>Per ogni colore è possibile impostare intensità, trasparenza, posizione e punto medio tra un colore e l’altro.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center"></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center"></h2>
<h1 style="text-align: center"><span style="color: #000000"><strong>Editing</strong></span></h1>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><span style="color: #ff0000"><strong>Note a piè pagina e/o fine storia</strong></span></h2>
<p>È stata ulteriormente migliorata la gestione delle note a piè pagina.<br />
Tramite la finestra “stile note” è possibile impostare tutte caratteristiche che le note devono avere nell’impaginato. Per esempio se risiedere nella stessa pagina dove sono citate o se al fondo della storia. La schermata riportata di seguito riporta tutti i parametri impostabili.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Articolo_1_PlaQua_003.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-10110" src="http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Articolo_1_PlaQua_003-290x300.png" alt="Articolo_1_PlaQua_003" width="290" height="300" srcset="http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Articolo_1_PlaQua_003-290x300.png 290w, http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Articolo_1_PlaQua_003.png 388w" sizes="(max-width: 290px) 100vw, 290px" /></a></p>
<p><span id="more-10095"></span>Per quanto riguarda invece la separazione testo principale dal testo delle note ora è possibile definire più stili separatore. Lo stile separatore non è vincolato alle note ma alla finestra testo. Questo permette di personalizzare casi particolari senza dover “smontare” nulla.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Articolo_1_PlaQua_004.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-10109" src="http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Articolo_1_PlaQua_004-271x300.png" alt="Articolo_1_PlaQua_004" width="271" height="300" srcset="http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Articolo_1_PlaQua_004-271x300.png 271w, http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Articolo_1_PlaQua_004.png 368w" sizes="(max-width: 271px) 100vw, 271px" /></a></p>
<p>Di seguito un esempio con due tipologie di note. Con QuarkXPress è possibile impaginare utilizzando una o più tipologie di note. Nell’esempio si possono vedere note con numerazione “numerica” (note azzurre) e note con numerazione “letterale” (note magenta) che convivono nello stesso impaginato.<br />
Questa peculiarità permette di arricchire l’impaginato a vantaggio della lettura. Si pensi per esempio a pubblicazioni tecniche o umanistiche dove spesso e volentieri è preferibile, se non necessario, distinguere le note dai riferimenti bibliografici.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Articolo_1_PlaQua_005.png"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-10108" src="http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Articolo_1_PlaQua_005.png" alt="Articolo_1_PlaQua_005" width="500" height="380" srcset="http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Articolo_1_PlaQua_005.png 768w, http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Articolo_1_PlaQua_005-300x228.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></a></p>
<p>Alle note si applicano tutte le formattazioni del paragrafo e del carattere: spazio sinistra/destra, sopra/sotto, corpo colore, tabulazioni. etc. È inoltre possibile inserire delle variabili al suo interno.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><span style="color: #ff0000"><strong>Set Stilistici</strong></span></h2>
<p>I set stilistici permettono di selezionare un aspetto alternativo da applicare ai caratteri selezionati. Tale opzione è attiva solo per quelle font che includono set stilistici al loro interno. Per esempio il Gabriola dispone di 7 set.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Articolo_1_PlaQua_006.png"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-10107" src="http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Articolo_1_PlaQua_006.png" alt="Articolo_1_PlaQua_006" width="500" height="370" srcset="http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Articolo_1_PlaQua_006.png 735w, http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Articolo_1_PlaQua_006-300x222.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></a></p>
<p>La figura mostra i diversi aspetti che la scritta assume a seconda del set stilistico applicato.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><span style="color: #ff0000"><strong>Le variabili</strong></span></h2>
<p>È stata migliorata la gestione delle variabili (già presente a partire dalla versione 2015).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Articolo_1_PlaQua_007.png"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-10106" src="http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Articolo_1_PlaQua_007.png" alt="Articolo_1_PlaQua_007" width="500" height="428" srcset="http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Articolo_1_PlaQua_007.png 573w, http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Articolo_1_PlaQua_007-300x257.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></a></p>
<p>Ora è possibile definire variabili molto lunghe visto che QuarkXPress applica sia la divisione sillabica sia lo scorrimento su più righe anche al testo definito come variabile. Negli esempi proposti di seguito i box contengono sia testo editabile sia testo definito come variabile (evidenziato in arancione). Nel primo caso è applicata la divisione sillabica mentre nel secondo no.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Articolo_1_PlaQua_008.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-10105 aligncenter" src="http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Articolo_1_PlaQua_008.png" alt="Articolo_1_PlaQua_008" width="585" height="206" srcset="http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Articolo_1_PlaQua_008.png 585w, http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Articolo_1_PlaQua_008-300x106.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px" /></a></p>
<p>Grazie a questa nuova caratteristica la giustezza del testo non è più un limite che impedisce l’utilizzo delle variabili ma anzi è possibile sfruttarle con maggiore libertà.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><span style="color: #ff0000"><strong>Testatine</strong></span></h2>
<p><a href="http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Articolo_1_PlaQua_009.png"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-10104" src="http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Articolo_1_PlaQua_009.png" width="500" height="326" srcset="http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Articolo_1_PlaQua_009.png 759w, http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Articolo_1_PlaQua_009-300x196.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></a></p>
<p>Con l’introduzione delle variabili è inevitabile non ricordare i rimandi in testa/piè pagina (già presente nella versione 2015). Come è possibile notare nella figura, QuarkXPress elabora e posiziona i rimandi considerando sia la pagina singola sia le pagine affiancate.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><span style="color: #ff0000"><strong>Riferimenti incrociati</strong></span></h2>
<p>Con l’introduzione dei riferimenti incrociati è possibile gestire in automatico l’aggiornamento dei numeri di pagina di titoli di paragrafo e note nei riferimenti incrociati; il classico “vedi, Nota # a pagina”.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Articolo_1_PlaQua_010.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-10103 aligncenter" src="http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Articolo_1_PlaQua_010.png" alt="Articolo_1_PlaQua_010" width="546" height="775" srcset="http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Articolo_1_PlaQua_010.png 546w, http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Articolo_1_PlaQua_010-211x300.png 211w" sizes="(max-width: 546px) 100vw, 546px" /></a></p>
<p>Grazie a questa nuova funzione automatica è possibile arricchire le pubblicazioni di elementi redazionali che migliorano la lettura e consultazione oltre, ovviamente, a limitare gli errori in fase di composizione e redazione.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center"></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center"></h2>
<h1 style="text-align: center"><span style="color: #000000"><strong>Layout Digitale</strong></span></h1>
<p>Creare un documento digitale (App, e-pub, Kindle) ora è ancora più semplice grazie alla possibilità di convertire un documento per la stampa in un documento digitale.<br />
Come?<br />
– Basta duplicare il layout e scegliere “digitale” come “tipo di layout”.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Articolo_1_PlaQua_011.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-10102 aligncenter" src="http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Articolo_1_PlaQua_011.png" alt="Articolo_1_PlaQua_011" width="517" height="388" srcset="http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Articolo_1_PlaQua_011.png 517w, http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Articolo_1_PlaQua_011-300x225.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 517px) 100vw, 517px" /></a></p>
<p>– Aggiungere tutti gli elementi tipici di un documento digitale tramite una comoda ed intuitiva palette (HTML5). Grazie a questa palette è possibile inserire video, animazioni, slide ed altri elementi in maniera molto semplice ed intuitiva.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Articolo_1_PlaQua_012.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-10101 aligncenter" src="http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Articolo_1_PlaQua_012.png" alt="Articolo_1_PlaQua_012" width="256" height="392" srcset="http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Articolo_1_PlaQua_012.png 256w, http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Articolo_1_PlaQua_012-196x300.png 196w" sizes="(max-width: 256px) 100vw, 256px" /></a></p>
<p>– Esportare il file</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Articolo_1_PlaQua_013.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-10100" src="http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Articolo_1_PlaQua_013.png" alt="Articolo_1_PlaQua_013" width="563" height="180" srcset="http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Articolo_1_PlaQua_013.png 563w, http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Articolo_1_PlaQua_013-300x96.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 563px) 100vw, 563px" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Queste alcune tra le principali caratteristiche introdotte e migliorate nella versione 2016.</p>
<p>Quark nelle ultime due versioni (2015 e l’attuale 2016) ha introdotto e migliorato moltissime funzionalità utili sia per la stampa sia per il digitale. Il consiglio è di scaricare la demo e provare questa nuova versione perché sicuramente le nuove funzioni (soprattutto per come sono state concepite) vi aiuteranno molto per creare impaginati di qualità.<br />
Quark conferma la politica di vendita perpetua del prodotto.</p>
<p>Scarica la demo. Provala e valutala. Ti piace? La compri. Non ti piace? Continui ad usare la vecchia versione.<br />

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Exciting: Martin Turner&#8217;s book about QuarkXPress 2016 storms amazon.com&#8217;s and amazon.co.uk&#8217;s Bestseller charts in the category &#8220;Desktop Publishing&#8221;:</p>
<p>For a few days now it has been on #1 in either chart, the hot new releases in the US and the absolute bestsellers in the UK.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a snapshot of the charts today:</p>
<p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/new-releases/books/4094/">Amazon.com (Hot new releases)</a>:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.planetquark.com/2016/06/08/book-about-quarkxpress-2016-storms-amazons-bestseller-charts/amazoncom/" rel="attachment wp-att-10093"><img class="alignnone  wp-image-10093" src="http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/amazoncom.png" alt="amazoncom" width="735" height="543" srcset="http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/amazoncom.png 1813w, http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/amazoncom-300x221.png 300w, http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/amazoncom-768x567.png 768w, http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/amazoncom-1024x756.png 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 735px) 100vw, 735px" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/bestsellers/books/269912/">Amazon.co.uk (Absolute Bestsellers):</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.planetquark.com/2016/06/08/book-about-quarkxpress-2016-storms-amazons-bestseller-charts/amazoncouk/" rel="attachment wp-att-10092"><img class="alignnone  wp-image-10092" src="http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/amazoncouk.png" alt="amazoncouk" width="731" height="472" srcset="http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/amazoncouk.png 2074w, http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/amazoncouk-300x194.png 300w, http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/amazoncouk-768x496.png 768w, http://www.planetquark.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/amazoncouk-1024x662.png 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 731px) 100vw, 731px" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As the book is available on amazon with &#8220;Look Inside&#8221;, please preview the book to see what it covers. In my humble opinion it not only gives you great background on QuarkXPress 2016 and all its new features, it&#8217;s more than that: It also helps you understand brand considerations, design rules, printing and finishing techniques.</p>
