How can I extract images from Numbers?

Sounds a bit stupid but how do you extract images from Apples 'Numbers 3' on a Mac? I have a client that sends images in XLS files, that normally in Word I would Alt Click and 'save as...'


I was trying to stop using Word but this simple little feature will make all the difference.


Can anyone point me in the right direction.


Thanks,

Dave

Here's another way. If your File Type is set to Package...

In Finder right-click the document file and choose Show Package Contents. That will take you directly to the internal folder structure with the images in the Data folder, without having to zip and unzip. Best to do this on a backup of the document, though.

Hi Wayne,


Thank you for your response. Sadly if you do this it copies in to the MACs clipboard as a snap shot of the image at the dimensions in Numbers.


Eg.

An image I've extracted from the document via Excel saved out at it's original dimensions 1024 x 300px, even though it was placed, then scaled down to 300px wide on the sheet.


Same image copied then pasted in to an image editor (as I couldn't paste into finder) was only 300px wide.



The feature I need is to be able to save out the original image placed in the Numbers sheet.


Anyone with ideas on this?
