LinkOptimizer for Adobe InDesign Now Can Scale Layer Styles in Photoshop - Published on 01/28/20

Zevrix Solutions announces LinkOptimizer 5.4.6, a feature update to company's workflow automation tool for Adobe InDesign. LinkOptimizer lets users automatically scale and crop images to their InDesign dimensions at a target resolution, convert image formats and colors, adjust sharpening, run Photoshop actions, rename links and more. The new version adds support for the Scale Styles option in Photoshop that allows to keep layer effects in proportion to the parent layers when resizing the image.

Toronto (ON), Canada - Zevrix Solutions today announces LinkOptimizer 5.4.6, a feature update to the company's workflow automation tool for Adobe InDesign. LinkOptimizer automates complex image manipulation tasks and allows users to significantly reduce the size of InDesign links, save processing time, and reduce production costs.

The new version adds support to the Scale Style option in Photoshop that allows to scale the layer effects in the resized image. The new feature lets LinkOptimizer users retain the original layer structure of optimized InDesign links instead of having to merge image layers during processing. Photoshop layers had to be merged in previous versions of the plug-in to preserve the proportional appearance of drop shadows, bevels, overlays and other layer effects.

"Today LinkOptimizer batched a huge book project and another magazine project in minutes vs. hours. Now I can take the afternoon off and drink beer," says Brian Donahue, owner of Bedesign studio in Minneapolis, Minnesota. "Thanks for freeing up my afternoon, rather than doing production work."

LinkOptimizer works automatically with Photoshop to perform essential image adjustments, convert image formats, and eliminate the excess image data of InDesign links. For example, with just a click of a button users can:

* Process dozens of InDesign files
* Scale and crop images to match their dimensions in InDesign
* Change their resolution to 300 dpi
* Convert RGB images to a CMYK profile
* Resave PNG files as TIFF
* Run a Photoshop action on each image.

At the end of processing, LinkOptimizer reimports images to InDesign at 100% in their precise position. As a result, users can save gigabytes of disk space, accelerate document output, reduce job turnaround and cut costs through faster processing.

Pricing and Availability:
LinkOptimizer can be purchased from Zevrix website for $259.95 USD (Light version: $179.95) as well as from Adobe Exchange and authorized resellers. Trial is also available for download. The update is free for LinkOptimizer 5.x users and $130 to upgrade from previous versions. LinkOptimizer requires macOS 10.8-10.15 and Adobe InDesign / Photoshop CS5-2020.
