Is there a way to find and replace images?

...is the old image that needs replacing the same size as the new one with regards to physical size?
...if not when you move the old linked image, then use 'usage' to replace it with the new one (of the same named file), all where the old image appeared will shift in position and size too...
...the simplest method i can think of is to ensure the new image is the same physical size as the one already used, move the old one out of your work folder, back it up somewhere, then rename the new one with the same name as the old one had and then update the links in 'usage'...
...tip: a quick way to update the whole list in 'usage' is to shift select all from top to bottom, hold the 'alt/option' key down and select 'Update'. This will bypass the need to hold down the enter key on each file that needs updating in the list...

Hi samelunk
Does that image come from a Master page?
I so then before you open that file delete the image or hide it in another folder.
Launch the file and go to Utilities, then Picture, and you will see all occurances of the image, if the picture if from a Master Page the Master Page should be the first one showing.
Select the Master Page image if there is one, if not then select any image and click Update and then find the image you want to use to replace with, you should get message "All instances of this image will be replaced, click OK.
If the image came from a Master Page then go to the Master Page and adjust the size of image or box as needed and that will change all instances.
If the image was pasted on each page then you can adjust it on the first page then copy with the grabber tool and go to next page delete old image and Paste in Place for each page.
Hope this Helps

If the image is the same size as the old one then...when you get the new one.
Copy the old image to the desktop (for safe keeping)
Open then old image (the one in the job, not on the desktop) in Photoshop, also open the new image, so they are both open. With the new one active, Select all then copy then make the old image active, then paste and position the image where you want it.
Once ok, then flattern the layers and save the old image (which now contains the new image).
Then simply update you images in Quark
Doing it this will insure that the image remaines in the exact position as it was before...
simply renaming and updating may result in image shift, which means you will have to check every single image.
Doinf it my way will keep everything the same
