[Craig Bradney]

And.. one the things we hope for in the 1.3 development series is full
facing page support so you just place it and its there on both.. :)

If you're going to want your picture larger than one single page (a full spread for instance), create a one page document at least the same size of that spread or even larger to give you a little working space. Otherwise, you can just do the next steps into your current document. Work from left to right (for the purpose of this explanation).
