Adding Background and Designing the Dates

Adding Background and Designing the Dates

You can add a custom-color background to your

calendar or choose from 9 patterned backgrounds. Then

you select the month and year, and design the date

portion of the calendar.

NOTE

PhotoPlus creates your calendar with opaque layers. The

background is the bottom layer, your picture is the middle layer,

and the dates are the top layer. If you add text, it appears on

top of all the other layers. You can experiment with these

elements to get the effect you want.

Follow these steps:

1

Follow the steps on page 5-5 to add a colored or

patterned background.

2

Double-click the calendar month displayed on the

Template screen. The Edit Calendar dialog box

appears:

Click to
change month
or year.
