PictureManager is a credits-management utility that allows the user to create caption boxes for graphics with a maximum of ease. It includes an automatic picture-updating facility that searches through user-specified volumes or folders for missing and modified files, and updates images as required. PictureManager will also allow user-definable defaults to be applied to the caption text box (e.g., text attributes, style sheets, caption frame, and background options). Position-caption options include relative to the graphic (distance and orientation), default text, and automatic sizing and placing of captions.

Easily edit any attribute. A file mover utility enables the user to select a file and specify a destination disc and/or folder for copying of the file and all linked elements, including DCS files if required, and optionally, transfer QuarkXPress preferences and auxiliary files as well.
