Making Image Adjustments

Once you have placed an image (or images) into a template layout, you can adjust the position of the image (in its printed frame), or zoom-in or pan the image.

To make adjustments to the image in the frame:

Click the image in the print layout that you want to change, and then select an option:

Fill Frame button, the image is resized so that it completely fills the print frame. Depending on the layout, some of the image may be cropped at the top or bottom, or at the sides. In this case, use the Pan tool to reposition the image in the frame for a pleasing picture composition.

Fit to Frame button, the image is resized to fit within the frame. This may mean that the picture does not completely fill the frame, but no parts of the picture are cropped and lost.

Rotate Right button, the image is rotated 90º clockwise. Depend­ing on your print layout, this may be a better orientation to fit all of your pictures on the page. Each time you click on the Rotate Right button, the image is rotated 90º clockwise.

Rotate Left button, the image is rotated 90º counter-clockwise. Depending on your print layout, this may be a better orientation to fit all of your pictures on the page. Each time you click on the Rotate Left button, the image is rotated 90º counter-clockwise.

Increasing or decreasing the displayed size of an image:

  1. Click the image in the print layout for which you want to    zoom in or out.

  2. Click on the Zoom In Tool or Zoom Out Tool buttons.

  3. Click on the selected image one or more times to increase/decrease the size.

  4. When you have finished adjusting the size, double-click another image to edit, or click outside the image boundary to end the edit­ing session.

Shifting the position of an image:

  1. On the Adjustments Tab, click Pan Tool button.

  2. Move the mouse cursor over the image. The cursor changes into the Pan tool.

  3. Click and drag the Pan tool over the selected image to adjust the position.

  4. When you have finished adjusting the position, double-click on another image to edit it or single-click outside the image boundary to end the move session.
