Instant Art Gallery
Vision’s Edge’s Art Gallery XT ($49) is an XTension for QuarkXPress 7, 6, 5 or 4 that quickly creates contact sheets, along with captions, for entire folders or volumes of pictures.
You can use it to create an index of clip art, photos, or logos, with control over page size and margins, grid layout, picture and text box dimensions, and caption info.
Captions are based on a style sheet and can display picture file name and path, dimensions, file type and modification date.
When considering Art Gallery XT, also consider Badia’s ContactPage XT, which provides similar functionality.
