Worth every penny… It’s a must have tool for a designer who works with image rich InDesign files such as catalogs or magazines.”

-scale and crop images to match their dimensions in InDesign,
-change resolution to 300 dpi,
–convert RGB images to CMYK with specific ICC profile,
-resave JPEG images as PSD,
–run a Photoshop Action on each image.

As a result, users can save gigabytes of disk space, accelerate document output, reduce job turnaround and cut costs through faster processing.
