Copy, Paste and Clear Effects
Collage Xpress allows you to cut, copy and paste
photos and effects on the photos in the Collage.
Right click on the element you want to copy and
select the ‘Copy’ option on the drop list. Now
paste it on to the location of your choice by
right clicking on it and choosing the ‘Paste’
option.
Lock and Unlock Photos
Collage Xpress generally ‘locks’ photo on the Collage to ensure precise designing. This ensures that
changes do not happen on the photos by mistake while one is working on the Collage. Clicking on the
‘lock’ icon ‘unlocks’ it and now you can move it or resize it as per your wish.
Resize Photo
Within border: In the ‘locked’ condition, a photo can be enlarged within its frame, by zooming it and
adjusting it in the frame. It can even be panned within the frame.
With border: Once the photo is ‘unlocked’ by clicking on the icon, the photo can be resized according to
your size requirements by moving the nodes.
Ensure that the photo stays within ‘printable’ limits while increasing the size of the photo. Refer the
‘Photo Quality Indicator’.
Rotation of Photo
Within border: A photo can be rotated within its frame when it is in the ‘locked’ state. However, if a
border or a mask has been applied to it, it stays in its position while the photo alone rotates within it.
With border: A photo can be rotated along with its border or its mask as a single unit when the photo is
in an ‘unlocked’ state. The photo can now be rotated in all three axes – x, y and z – to give it a 3D effect.
Flip Décor
Decors like border and mask can be flipped
horizontally and vertically, with the help of 'Flip'
option provided at the bottom in the respective
tabs.
