Hi there. In this video, we're going to work with
a file that's been sent to us by somebody else we're going to
have some issues with the images not being loaded
and in the next video we'll look at what the fonts not being loaded.
First of all, let's go and get a file,
let's go to open and done with the exercise files,
and then there's a file called 02 existing work,
open that up and there's Green at Heart Prospectus,
open them up and morning,
we're missing some images.
It might say modified.
Let's click Okay, it also might say we're
missing fonts and we'll do that in the next video.
But basically this is what we've got, we had a document,
but these images are missing,
the weird thing is that I can see them they're right there.
Why can't I use those?
Is that they are really badly.
They look okay on screen,
but they print really badly, so we need to link them back up.
Now this highlights one of the differences between InDesign and word,
word when you put an image inside of it,
it just packages it into the DOC ex file,
when you send it to somebody,
it comes along with it with InDesign by default,
it likes to link to the images.
Why did we do that? It's because the InDesign can
run super-duper fast when it's only linking to it.
Whereas word if you've worked with a really big word document with lots of images,
you'll notice it runs really slowly,
so that's the difference.
So when somebody sends you InDesign file,
be expecting the images to be along with it separately,
often in a zip file.
If you just get the InDesign file and no images, you're stuck.
So you need to find those images.
They might seem them later or they might just be hiding
somewhere on your computer or the network drive at work something like that.
We just need to re-link them. Let's do that.
Over here, you can see my links panel,
if you can't see it, go to window and go to links.
These are the images that are contained in my file.
Now, these ones you've got the big red question mark,
that means they are completely missing, so we're going to re-link them,
you also might just say modified might have a yellow caution symbol here,
often you can just click on them and add this one here
which says update and often there be no difference.
You click on it and the image will reload but nothing will change.
Often that just cork between Mac and PCs,
sometimes it's to do with the time zones,
often there's nothing different given on it just to check,
but often there is no change.
My case though, missing this completely.
I'm going to try and find this green logo one and I select it,
and down here this is little chain icon called re-link click on him,
and what I've done in your exercise files is go back to
the parent folder and in here there's one called missing footage.
Why should I call it footage?
It should be missing images.
In here, there it is, green logo one,
I'm going to click Open, and it's gone and replaced it.
Now you can select more than one,
so select the first one, hold the shift,
click the second one go to re-link
and it's looking for this first one he called table top.
I'm going to call this one table top,
click Open and then I'm going to click this one that it says black.
Nice. They're already linked, they are ready to go,
they not missing anymore,
what you might find is this weird content here is pink.
It looks strange because you're missing the fonts.
So let's go in the next video and look at missing fonts and fixing those.
