Some of you may be aware of the multi place feature available in CS3 and CS4. It’s pretty awesome and works with folders or with drag n drop.
Step 1: Create a new file with layout frames ready for image placement. For example, for our InDesign templates, once you’ve created your new document, simply drag and drop the template to the artboard and go!
2.) Step two, insert one of our graphic backgrounds to fill the back image portion of the template.
Step 3: Select one of the frames from the template with the selection tool, thats the tool at the top of the side tool bar, the top completely dark arrow. Once the frame is selected, go to the very top tool bar and select File–then scroll down to select Place–Then your folders should appear. Select the folder you’d like to use that includes your images. My folder includes four images; so what I’ll do is hold down the Apple key or the shift key and it will select multiple images and load the cursor.
Once the cursor is loaded, you’ll see a small number appear to the right of the cursor; mine will show the number (4). You can then scroll through your images by using the right or left arrow keys in order to select the image you’d like loaded into each individual frame. And, what’s more if you’d like to delete an image, you can simply use the ESC key to delete an image from the loaded cursor.
