The scene: You’ve inherited a complicated InDesign file from a coworker, and you’re burning the midnight oil making layout changes. Wait a minute! One of the images doesn’t look right; you suspect it’s been stretched. And what’s this? The mole is on the wrong side of a person’s face! Has the image been reflected? And where did the images on pages 6 through 16 come from? Do you have legal rights to use them?
Answering these and other burning questions takes some detective work, but I’ll show you how to sift through the scene of the crimes using forensic techniques in InDesign CS3 and CS4.
