OK, i am a noob to using quark (have been using indesign all the while). I was supposed to recieve image files used in a poster by the printer (printer had most recent files that the client did not have) The printer sent me a disc with some of the images and a quark doc. I opened up the quark doc and some of the images are linked, while the rest are "embedded", in that they cant be moved or anything.

My question is, is there a way to export those embedded images. I have been fighting with this all morning and searching google till it spit at me without any luck.

I am basically redoing this poster, and need the image files from the quark doc, they are not in the pictures folder.

Is this making any sense?

What version of Quark? I have never seen "embedded" images in Quark (4.x) though perhaps the later versions can do this. At any rate, if they are indeed embedded (and there is no original file) you're probably stuck with resolution of the embedded file.

You could try either:
1. saving the page as EPS, or
2. printing to PDF

and then open up the EPS or PDF in Photoshop.

By embedded do you mean they don't show up under Utilities/usage/pictures? If thats the case you could PDF the Quark doc and then extract the pictures from the PDF in Acrobat or Photoshop. Or call the printshop and tell them you are missing linked files.

" I have never seen "embedded" images in Quark (4.x) though perhaps the later versions can do this.

A copy & paste on a PC from a CD will result in the Dreaded" NO file" under usage in Quark (all versions). An embedded RGB Pic file is what you have in this case. The PDF method or a screen shot are your only options.
