ImageLink

Directly link DAM and other online assets from within your InDesign document

If the original asset is modified, refresh the link for the latest version.

Overview

ImageLink enables you to directly link DAM and other online assets from within your InDesign document. If the original asset is modified, you can quickly refresh the link to ensure that your InDesign document includes the latest version of the asset.

If the resource is configured to generate FPO renditions, low-resolution renditions are placed in your InDesign document when you link to assets. FPO (for placement only) renditions are lightweight substitutes of the original assets.

Create live links To DAM Assets

Most DAM systems offer online methods of browsing. Dragging an image to a layout creates a live link to the asset. If authentication is needed, the plug-in handles this.

Browse online images and DAM assets

The ImageLink browser panel provides access to online image libraries and DAM systems. Image metadata can also be accessed via this panel.

FAQs

Does It Support my DAM system?

Please contact your DAM system vendor for information on availability for your system. Currently we support Elvis DAM and our Demo system, designed for the purposes of developing scripts. We are more than happy to talk with your vendor and help them implement a provider script.

DAM Vendors

Adding support is a case of writing a single script to connect your REST API, or similar, to the Plug-in. Details are here . Once connected we add you to the list on online providers for users to install. If you’d like us to write the script for you, no problem! Feel free to contact us and we’ll give you details of what we’d need.

Who uses our software?

I've evaluated many, many different (and sometimes very expensive) database publishing solutions, and nothing even comes close to your absolutely stunning software!

I can tell you now that EasyCatalog will have a dramatic effect on my team's workflow, saving hours on the mundane and freeing them up to do what they want to do - design.

Previously, the production of the TCG catalog took about five months. Today we have that time down to one month. There were a few minor features we needed and 65bit were extremely responsive in getting those features added quickly and allowing us to test them out right away. It was amazing to get new builds with new features that were so stable!

We didn't really need to think about the return on investment: it was immediately clear that we would save a lot of time using EasyCatalog.

You don't have to be a large institution with a massive IT staff to take advantage of NCDP (Network-Centralized Database Publishing) any more. There is a simple solution to what used to be the daunting task of creating and linking publishing software to complex network databases. Happily all the drudgery is managed via EasyCatalog and controlled effortlessly directly from within InDesign.

All of this happens in real-time. I feel much more secure, knowing my client's data is finding its way directly to the page layout software without being over-handled and possibly corrupted along the way.

Finished our first project with Easycatalog from @65bitsoftware. Fan-tas-tic! 3 days of work reduced to +/- 30 minutes. Incredible. #design

I'm so unbelievably impressed with the support from @65bitsoftware. Lightning-quick responses and really helpful!

Our 750 page catalogue was previously done by hand. Not only does EasyCatalog reduce the risk of human error, but its extensive range of features, shortcuts and multi-purpose applications meant that the production time was more than halved.If you have any database publishing needs you should definitely consider EasyCatalog as a solution. We did, and we’ll never look back.

Did you ever create a catalog with 200 or more products by hand? And if you are ready - after three days - they tell you to use another order - oh no! I was so happy to launch EasyCatalog in my company! Thank you, even for the great and fast support!

I have said it before and I´ll say it again. You have the best support I have ever encountered. If there were a Nobel Prize for support, you guys should have a couple of them.

I already liked EasyCatalog a lot, but now I love it. It makes my job so much more efficient. I’m a real advocate for EasyCatalog. I would recommend it to everyone.
