Rotating Photo
Rotating photo in the Design page keeping the creativity in mind adds to the overall presentation of the pages. Event
Xpress gives you the option of either rotating the photo within the frame or rotating the whole picture along with the
frame.
To rotate the photo within the
frame: Keep your cursor on the
rotate icon
that is seen when
you select a photo. Once the
‘hand’ symbol appears use the
mouse to rotate it in the direction
of your choice.
To rotate the photo along with
the frame: ‘Unlock’ the photo by
clicking on
. Now keep your
cursor on
and use the mouse
to rotate the photo with the frame
when the ‘hand’ appears.

Zooming In/Out
While working on your Design you can focus attention
on a specific area of the page by zooming in or take a
look at the ‘larger picture’ by zooming out. You can use
a combination of these options to obtain the desired
level of accuracy on the page.
Click on the photo you want to work on and then use
the scroll wheel of the mouse to zoom in or zoom out
as per your requirement.

Panning
Panning lets you view specific areas of the photo by moving the photo up or down and sideways in the ‘Create Design’
window. This gives access to the areas that would otherwise remain obscure.
Place the cursor over
, which then changes to
or the ‘hand symbol’. Now use your mouse to take hold of the
photo and move it around to get to the area you wish to work on.
Photo Quality Indicator
The quality of photos used in the design must be good to ensure clarity in the final product. Event Xpress has an in-
built ‘Quality Indicator’, which warns you whenever the photo quality goes below the required standards. Once a
photo has been placed into the frame the indicator warns you if the resolution is inappropriate for the desired output
size. The warning symbols and their interpretations are presented in Table.
