Adobe Indesign CS4 – Positioning graphics within a frame
On the first spread, two of the frames need to be resized for their pictures, or the pictures within them repositioned.
- Select page 2 in the page box in the lower-left corner of the document window to navigate to page 2. Press Ctrl+0 (zero) (Windows) or Command+0 (Mac OS) to fit the page in the window.
- Using the Direct Selection tool (
), position your pointer over the picture of the red sun, which is only partially visible. Notice that the pointer changes to a hand, indicating that you can select and manipulate the content of the frame. Drag the picture to the right, making the entire sun visible. With the Direct Selection tool, you can reposition a graphic within its frame.
TIP: The Fitting commands make it easy to fit graphics in frames and to fit frames to graphics. For example, choose Object > Fitting > Center Content to center a graphic within its frame.
- Using the Selection tool (
), click the picture of the blue hand on the upper-left side of the page. - Drag the top-center handle upward to expand the size of the frame. By making the frame larger, more of its contents becomes visible.
TIP: You can preview the picture as you move or resize the frame if you pause briefly after you first click the frame and then resize or move the frame.
- Choose File > Save.
