Changing multiple photos

[A.Herden]

Is there a way to select multiple photos and  change the photo

Say I wanted to select all the photos here and replace them with another photo.... how can I do that?

Could you post a screenshot with the Links Panel visible.

In the Links Panel one can relink images (from the pop-up menu or with the icon at the bottom of the Panel).

I asked for a screenshot including the visible Links Panel.

One can relink all instances of a linked image in one go by selecting the »parent« link.

you should use data merge for what you are doing. You will find it easy and quick.

(although I might be misunderstanding which are trying to end up with)

Since this is just a template, I wanted to change the photo. Instead of having to change the photo of each square independently, I thought there was a way to select all and import the photo.

(select all squares, ctrl and d to import a photo and walaa... all the photos are changed to the new photo)

Did you read the answers you have been given so far?

[A.Herden]

Yes I have...

I don't understand your links panel.. nor can I find a data merge

[c.pfaffenbichler]

So will you let us see what your Links Panel looks like or not?

Attaching images to email-replies to this Forum is no good, please post images on the Forum in a browser.

Hi greenflymedia ,

what we are seeing in your template are two different images placed on the spread.

One is placed a couple of times.

You want to select all graphic frames with the images on the spread and substitute all the images with a single one.

That cannot be done in one go with InDesign's UI. What you could do in one go is to substitute all instances of AMH_0136.JPG of the whole document in one go. That might be a difference to substitute all instance of AMH_0136.JPG in your selection.

For everything else you'd need a custom written script.

That's doable.

Regards,
Uwe
