inserting image into Quark

I am trying to prepare a POS document in Quark which needs me to insert our company logo

the company logo images that i have on cd are red logo on white background.

The POS that I need to do are White on blue background.

I have converted the imaged to white on blue, but when the image is inserted into Quark, the 2 blues are different shades.

The logo image is a cut out but has been flatten. How can insert just the wording with no background into my Quark document?

Sorry to sound a bit thick, but I am a beginner at this and would appreciate any help available.

Sorry if i sound like a butthole, I dont like any non-adobe design products!

\*Cough*/ Quark sucks \*Cough*/ Ever heard of eps?

Let me post this to you from my little enimies at quark. (Indesign ROCKS with drag and drop integration from PS to ID and IC)

QuarkXPress® 4.x allows you to access Adobe Photoshop® paths in EPS files. If you select one of these paths in the Clipping dialog box of QuarkXPress, all pixels outside of the path are rendered transparent when the image is displayed or printed.

Clipping options for EPS images

When you import an EPS into a QuarkXPress 4.x document, you can choose one of the following options from the Type pop-up menu in the Clipping dialog box (Item menu):

1. Item: No clipping path is used. The picture box borders dictate which parts of the picture will display and print.
2. Picture Bounds: Creates a clipping path based on the rectangular bounding box of the imported picture file.
3. Embedded Path: Allows you to choose a path created in Adobe Photoshop or other image-editing application.
   • If the EPS contains an embedded path, QuarkXPress automatically selects that path as the clipping path when you import the image and changes the background color of the picture box to None.
   • If the EPS contains more than one embedded path, QuarkXPress selects the first path it finds when you import the image. (In Adobe Photoshop, the first path is the path that displays at the top of the Paths palette.)
   • If you selected a path from the Clipping path pop- up menu in Adobe Photoshop when you saved the EPS, QuarkXPress automatically uses that path as the clipping path. This path will be the default clipping path for the image, and cannot be enlarged in QuarkXPress.

NOTE:

1. You may want to choose None from the Clipping path pop-up menu when you save the image from Adobe Photoshop, so you can specify which path to use as the clipping path when you import the image into QuarkXPress. Or, you may want to choose a path from the Clipping path pop-up menu, so you can be sure only that path will be used to clip the image.
2. If you check Clipping Path in the Item > Edit submenu, QuarkXPress displays a copy of the embedded path with the EPS preview. Any changes you make to this path will be based on the preview and may not precisely match the actual EPS file that is downloaded to the PostScript printer. Also, any edits made to the path in QuarkXPress are saved with the picture box in the QuarkXPress document; the original EPS is not altered. For best results, you should edit the path in the original application and then reimport the image into QuarkXPress.
3. Non-White Areas: Using QuarkXPress versions 4.02 and later, a polygonal (non-smoothed) path based on the non- white areas of the low-resolution EPS preview is created. Important: This path is for display purposes only and is not downloaded to PostScript printers.
   

NOTE:

1. If you open a QuarkXPress 3.3x document in QuarkXPress 4.x, any EPS images that have a background of None (Item > Modify) will be assigned a Non-White Areas clipping path. Again, the Non-White Areas clipping path is not downloaded to PostScript printers from QuarkXPress 4.02 and later.
2. The Non- White Areas clipping option is not available if the EPS is Line Art (also known as bi-level or 1-bit). If QuarkXPress cannot determine the EPS type, then it will be considered Line Art.
3. Vector EPS images are clipped by the outline of their own shape, so you do not need to select a clipping path for these images. If you save an EPS from Adobe Illustrator with a TIFF preview, the preview will display the transparent areas of the image as white. In this case, selecting a Non-White Areas clipping path will help you see on screen how the image is likely to print to a PostScript printer. (Remember, a Non-White Areas clipping path for an EPS will not print from QuarkXPress versions 4.02 and later to PostScript printers.)
