A major barrier to entry for many graphic designers and creative professionals to upgrade to Mac OS X will be lowered soon: Quark Inc. announced Tuesday that it will ship QuarkXPress for Mac OS X next week.
QuarkXPress 6, Quark's flagship desktop layout software application, introduces new features like project files, collections of layouts that can vary in media type, size and orientation. Stylesheets, colors, hyphenation settings, lists and other properties can be shared between layouts.
Synchronized Text has also been added: This feature lets users share content between layouts in a project. As a result, "synchronized text" edited in one location is changed elsewhere in the project simultaneously. Other new features include full-resolution preview and multiple undo.
QuarkXPress 6 also introduces new print output features like support for PostScript Level 3 functions including DeviceN color. PDF creation is integrated into QuarkXPress as well. XML tagging is now more intuitive, and the new version includes an industry-standard XML parser with enhanced error handling.
