Editing Collages
The technology introduced in Disc Cover allows to replace images in collage templates. Collages are based on filling Smart Shapes with images. Smart Shapes are used as image frames in the design.
The program is supplied with a collection of photo collages.
To add a collage to your design:
- Open the Gallery tab of the Source panel and choose Collages in the pop-up menu (Window > Gallery > Collages).
- Click on a collage template to add it to your design.
- Replace images in the collage with yours. To do this, drag your images from the Source panel or from Finder and drop onto the shapes of the collage. The program highlights the shape into which the image will be placed.
If needed, adjust the way the image fills its frame (use Scale type options).
To create a collage from scratch:
- Open the Smart Shape collection in the Source panel (Window > Clipart > Smart Shapes).
- Add several Smart Shapes to your design.
- Open the Fill & Shadow tab of the Inspector window (Window > Inspector > Fill & Shadow).
- Select all Smart Shapes in your design, and select the Fill check box in the Inspector. In the drop-down list below, select Image Fill.
- Select the Smart Shapes one by one and drag and drop images to each. Smart Shapes now work as frames for images.
