OPTIONS AND FEATURES
5 If you choose the Custom Package layout style, the
currently selected image is added to the template
automatically. With a template selected, to add an image to the
page just select an image cell on the page and then drag an
image from the Filmstrip into the cell. It will automatically be
added to the page in its current orientation.

If you want to change the orientation of a placed image
to fit the template, use the Rotate to Fit option. Note
that the available options change depending on what layout
style you’re using. In our example we don’t have Zoom to
Fit or Cell Spacing but we do have Photo Borders and Inner
Stroke, preset at 3.0 points.

In the Layout panel you can see a bank of sliders that let
you control the size of the white border around your image.
In the Custom Package mode these are replaced by a single
Photo Border slider. To add a border around your image, either
move the sliders individually or type a value directly into the
number boxes.7 You have further options in the right-hand sidebar in
Single Image mode. In the Image Settings panel there
are a number of check boxes. The top one is Zoom to Fill. If
you want to fill the page and don’t mind cropping off part of
your image, click this box. If you want the whole image to be
printed, leave it unchecked.
10 Finally you have the Page Grid, Cell Spacing and Cell Size
sliders. Using these you can create a grid of cells on the
page, adjust the spacing between the cells and adjust the size
of those cells. Image settings are repeated for each cell in the
grid; you can repeat the same photo in every cell by checking
the Repeat One Photo per Page box.8 The Stroke Border option adds a line around the image,
which can look good especially if you’re printing a high-
key image on a white background with a border. You can
choose the colour of the stroke by clicking in the small black
box and the thickness by moving the slider. Generally, thinner
is better, so less than 3.0pts.http://www.bdmpublications.com 105
