You'll get "Black" for every type of images, unless you have tinted

Here is a way. Go to David Lloyd's web site <http://www.kanzu.com/>

Thank you, Hans.
I will look into it. Since you have suggested the use of a third-party
utility, should I assume that that there is no way to pull the information
directly from QuarkXPress?
I have considered collecting a report, and parsing the info from the file
but, that seems rather tedious. I'm wondering why Quark has excluded that
info as part of the image properties -- or am I just looking in the wrong
place?
Thanks again.
