344 Photo Handling

document). The image in the grid that you drop onto is replaced with your photo and the
grid automatically updates to accommodate your photo.

To add more images click the green "Add photo" handle on the right end of each row, or
drag the "Add / remove rows" handle at the bottom left of the grid to add a complete row.

Note: The height of a row is calculated by fitting the number of images in this row into the
width of the grid. So the more images per row, the less tall that row is, especially if the
images are wide such as panorama photos. Similarly rows containing just a single image
will usually be taller.

Border
There is a "Border width" handle on the top left photo in the grid that lets you adjust the
space between each photo. You can have no space at all if you choose, but when you do
have a border it’s simply empty space between the photos so you see whatever is behind
your photo grid. Therefore if you want to see something other than the page background
behind, just draw a rectangle behind and set its color or fill to give the border effect you
would like.

Photo Panels

Most of the Photo Panels are customizable. Resizable usually in width and height, you
can easily adjust them to fit any space, whether short and fat or tall and thin. Drag the left
or right handles to change the width and the top or bottom handles to change the height -
the elements will all re-format to fit the new dimensions.

All text can be edited and styled using the TEXT TOOL, the same as with ordinary text. To
replace a photo image, go into the PHOTO TOOL, click on the photo to select it inside the
panel, then right-click and choose the REPLACE PHOTO option in the context menu. Or you
can drag a photo from Windows Explorer or from the BITMAP GALLERY and drop it directly
onto the photo you want to replace.
