Introducing our newest feature: Help Layers!
|
|
To access Help Layers, go to the View tab on the top of the designer and select Help Layers.
|
This will put a center line through a page (pictured right), or show you where your personalization will lie on your cover file! (shown above)
|
|
|
There are four basic ways to edit a photograph
|
|
Search for the rotated photo you would like to edit. Once you find it, hover over the bottom of the photo and you should see a white check box in the lower right corner of the photo, click there to select the photo. The photo will highlight green when selected.
**You can select more than one photo to perform a rotate action on at a time.**
|
|
If you upload a photo and it is not rotated in the direction you intended, you can go to the Manage Photos tab to rotate the photo 90 degrees.
|
|
Once you select the photo(s), go to the tool bar above the photos and select Rotate Right or Rotate Left to get the desired effect.
*You can also move, delete, or download selected photos
|
|
OR With the blue large circle handle when you select the photo as seen on the right.
|
|
If you would like to rotate a photo in the designer for visual interest, you can place the photo on the page, and use the Frame > Transform > Rotate menu in the top tool bar.
|
|
If you would like to crop a photo in our designer, place the photo on the page where it will stay first.
Select the photo and you will see a Quick Menu. Hit the crop/edit button to access the cropping feature.
|
|
|
Once you are in the cropping editor you will see the photo surrounded with dotted lines. From there, you can adjust the dotted box by moving it to a different focus point and dragging the corners out or in to select only the part of the image you want to show.
Once you hit the Save Photo button, this will crop the image for you on the yearbook page. You can also flip your photo here, and rotate it right or left.
*You can always go back and re-crop your original image*
|
|
If you would like to edit the Brightness, Contrast, Saturation, or apply a filter to a photo, you would do so by first placing the photo you wish to edit on the page you are working on. Then, selecting the photo and go to that same crop button as listed above.
|
|
Once you are in the cropping window, select the Edit tab, as shown above. From here you can adjust the sliders to edit your photo. Then hit Save Photo.
|
|
Adjusting a Photo Inside a Frame:
|
|
If you would like to adjust a photo inside the frame, first place it on the page, (you can place it in a drop photo box shape as well!). Select the photo, then open the Photo Settings tab on the right hand side of the page.
|
|
Change the Fit setting to Manual.
Once this is set, you can edit the size of the frame on the page, then also use the hand to click and hold the photo to move it inside that frame.
To increase or decrease the size of the photo itself , cick and drag on the blue circles bordering the photo in the small preview of the Photo Settings tab.
