Photos
• Adding photos (p. 77)
Personalize your projects by importing your own photos from hard
disk, CD/DVD, digital camera or scanner. Store photos in the Photos
tab before dragging directly onto a page or into a photo frame;
optionally fill each photo frame automatically using AutoFlow! At any
time, try dragging a frame onto an unframed photo or swap one frame
for another by drag-and-drop.
• Cropping and fitting photos to frames (p. 108)
Use the Crop Tool to remove unwanted areas of your framed photo.
For perfect photo placement, you can scale, pan, and rotate photos to
your liking.
• Frame Editor allows you to create your own Digikit photo frames
from a photo-based image of a frame.
• Convert photos to frameless frames (p. 116)
Photos you've added directly to your page (i.e., those that are not
inside a decorative photo frame) can be converted so that they sit
inside “frameless” frames. These frames function exactly like the
decorative frames you've added from the Frames tab, allowing you to
crop, zoom, and pan the photos inside them. You can even use the
AutoFlow feature to automatically replace frame contents!
• Apply photo adjustments and effects (p. 88)
PhotoLab provides an impressive selection of editable non-destructive
photo adjustments (White Balance, Lighting, Curves, to name just a
few...) and creative effects (including a selection of artistic effects such
as Pencil, Watercolour, and Oil).
You can apply single or multiple filters to an entire photo, or to
selected areas using a mask. Your original photo remains intact. You
can even save adjustment/effect combinations as Favourites for future
use.
