Bad rendering of Quark 3 file

Screen rendering of compound objects created in Quark Xpress 3.x. It comprises original "paintings" in Photoshop, map elements created in Freehand and text and layout in Quark. Only the raster elements seem intact.

 

We discovered this in our DAMS at the L.A. Times after a major upgrade to the operating system around 2005. We were in the process of uploading legacy files in the 10 to 12 years old range when the Solaris upgrade occurred. After that, the legacy uploads failed to render properly. For more information see Volume 5, Number 22 of The Seybold Report (2006).
