342 Photo Handling

document you can change the width and height to make them any size and aspect ratio
you like, from wide and short to tall and slim.

A resizable Photo Grid.

Just drag on the side, top and bottom handles to resize. The photos are scaled, cropped
or uncropped as you do this. Once you have the grid at the dimensions you want, you
may need to adjust the scale and positioning of each image, to fit nicely within its new
frame shape. Go into the PHOTO TOOL and click on each image to select, then use the
adjustment handles on the photo to rotate/scale inside, or move the image in its frame.

Note you can’t change the number of photos in these designs, or the layout, they are
fixed designs.

Smart Photo Grids
This is a more flexible SmartShape that lets you display any collection of photos, even
those with different shapes and aspect ratios, in a compact grid. You can adjust the
number of photos on each row, or number of rows, drag to re-order the photos, and
adjust the gap between all the photos.
