Setting import options for PICS and Scrapbook files

You can import PICS and Scrapbook files several different ways. These file formats are available only on the Macintosh.

To set import options for PICS and Scrapbook files:

1 | Import the PICS or Scrapbook cast member by choosing File > Import. (For more information on this procedure, see Importing cast members.)
2 | If the PICS/Scrapbook Options dialog box appears while you are importing an image using File > Import, specify the range of images to import:
| All Frames imports up to 512 frames in a PICS file or from a Scrapbook file. Each frame will be imported as a separate cast member.
| From/To selects a range of cells. The imported PICS or Scrapbook frames are added to the Score beginning at the selected cell; any existing Score data will be replaced by the imported frames.
| If the PICS file was created using a previous version of Director, you must enter 1 as the starting frame to import.
3 | To import only the image, not the surrounding white space, select Contract White Space.
4 | To place the imported artwork in the Paint window in its original position relative to the other artwork in the series, select Original Position.
5 | To center each piece of imported artwork relative to the rest of the artwork in the series, click Centered.
