Choosing the Object Selector tool from the Toolbar will allow you to move, order, rotate, flip, and mirror the items in your project, and adjust the transparency and edge fading if you so choose.

To find the tools:

  1. Click the Projects button on the Navigation panel.

  2. Find the Object Selector tool on the Toolbar. Additional Object Selector tools are found below the Work area in the Settings area.

Stacking, or layering, allows the objects in the project to be layered in any order.

The stacking order can be seen listed in the Object Manager, to the right of the Work area (just left of the Library). The object at the top of the Object Manager is considered to be 'on top' of the other items, while the item at the bottom of the Object Manager is considered to be 'beneath' the other items.

Objects can be stacked by dragging the thumbnails up or down in the list, or by using the commands in the Settings area. With the settings area controls, objects can be brought forward or sent back one layer at a time, or sent to the top or bottom in one click.

The Settings Area:

Click the Object Selector tool to reveal the controls in the Settings area.

To Front - brings the selected object to the top layer.

To Back - sends the selected object to the bottom layer.

Forward - bring the selected object up one layer.

Backward - send the selected object down one layer.

Rotate left - rotates the selected object left 90 degrees.

Rotate right - rotates the selected object right 90 degrees.

Rotate 180 degrees - rotates the selected object 180 degrees.

Flip - flips the selected object vertically.

Mirror - flips the selected object horizontally.

Delete - deletes the selected object.

Restore Aspect Ratio - if the object or photo has been resized since loading, clicking this icon restores its original proportions.

Opacity slider - adjusts the Opacity of the selected photo or template. Set at 100, the object is opaque (solid), so the background will not show through. Values less than 100 will make the object more transparent, alllowing underlying photos to show through.

Edge fading slider - adjusts the transparency of the photo or template edges, for a fade effect. Set at zero, the object's edges are opaque (solid). With values more than zero, the edges become transparent, allowing the underlying photos to show through.
