To apply a filter to a photo box:

1

Select the photo box that contains the image you want to change.

2

Choose the filter style you want from the Set Photo Filter pop-up menu.

Note: When you apply a filter to an image in a book and then examine the image with
the Loupe, the image appears without the filter effect. The filter is applied only to the
image in the book, not to the image source. The Loupe displays the image source.

Working with Text

As you work with your book layout, you can add text and position it on the page.

You can:

 Place text on the page by entering it in text boxes
 Add new text boxes to the page
 Add metadata boxes that display an image’s metadata
 Choose the style of your text, changing the font, font style, and font size
 Arrange text on the page by changing the size and position of text boxes
 Change the number of text columns on the page
 Remove text boxes from the page

You can make text changes to individual pages in your book, or you can change master
pages to create template pages with custom text styles and layouts.

also copy text and paste it into text boxes.

Select the page you want to work on in the Pages pane.
