Size and Position objects
All objects in the photo product, including Images, Cliparts, Text, Fill boxes and QR codes can be resized and repositioned to suit your design needs.
When you select an object, it is surrounded by a blue frame with small marks on the corners and sides. By clicking and dragging these marks, you can easily resize the object and its container.
Resize images. Both the image box and the image itself will be resized.
Resize text. Resizing the text box will affect the text only if the Automatic Font Size option is activated. Note that if the text box is resized smaller than the text size, some text may be hidden. You should always ensure that all text is fully visible when changing the text box size.
To reposition an object, select and hold it while dragging it to the desired location.
In addition, several tools will be displayed on the bottom row menu to help position the elements on the photo product.
Duplicate
By clicking the Duplicate button, the selected object will be duplicated. You can then place the duplicated object wherever you want to fit your design.
Cut
Clicking this button cuts the element from its current position. Once cut, a Paste button will be displayed at the top, indicating that the element is waiting to be pasted. To paste the cut element, click the Paste button.
Note that in multi-page photo products, you can paste the cut element onto a different page. To do this, click Save on the page where you cut the element, navigate to the desired page, and then select the Paste button.
Align
Selecting the Align button at the bottom will display tools to align objects vertically and horizontally within the photo product. To align objects properly, you need to take into account the red bleed line. It is important to avoid placing images and objects directly on this line to prevent unwanted white borders in the final product.
You can choose whether you want the object to be aligned over the bleed line, or at a safe distance from it, which will leave a safe margin from the edge of the product.
For more information, read the Bleed line article.
For multi-page products such as Photo Books, you can choose to align objects relative to a single page by selecting the Single page option and selecting the desired page. If the Single page option is deselected, alignment will be applied considering both pages.
Layers
Selecting the Layers button will display tools to control the stacking order of objects as follows:
Bring to front: Moves the selected object to the front, above all other objects.
Send to back: Places the selected object behind all other objects.
Bring forward: Moves the object one step forward in the stacking order.
Send backward: Moves the object one step backward in the stacking order.
Opacity
Selecting the Opacity button will display a slider that allows you to adjust the opacity of the object. By default, the opacity is set to 100% (fully opaque).
Rotate
Selecting the Rotate button will display a slider at the bottom, enabling you to rotate the object as desired.
