This ensures that if you place the artwork on a background, the background will show around the edges of the artwork and through any portion of line art that appears white in the ClikArt book. 7. You may enlarge a piece of ClikArt up to 150% of its original size. GRAPHIC EFFECTS IN INDESIGN One of the strengths of InDesign is its ability to perform complex graphic operations. Following are instructions on performing some of these effects. Clipping paths There are two ways to create clipping paths in InDesign, either by automatic detection or by creating your own path. Automatically detecting paths: If you have created a clipping path in Photoshop, or if you are placing a photo that has a subject in stark contrast to the background, you can automatically detect the clipping path. 1. Select the graphic or photo using the Selection tool. 2. Go to Object > Clipping Path. 3. Select Detect Edges under the Type menu if you are trying to cut out an element from a distinct background. Select Photoshop Path if you have created a path in Photoshop. 4. To view the selection as you make it, check the Preview box.
