Tutorial: Border Workshop
The following is a list of each option, followed with a brief description.
Photo
When creating border templates, you need a placeholder for one or more photos. You
add photo placeholders to the border template in the position where you want a
photo to appear. These photo placeholders are called image cells. In most cases, you
will probably have only one image cell because the border is designed for only one
photo.
Multiple Photos
Adding multiple photos using the Add Photo tool lets you create layouts where photos
are positioned anywhere on the page. However, there may be times when you want to
have multiple photos on the page in a row/column format as in a composite.
Graphic
Most borders contain a graphic, whether it is a decorative border that surrounds the
photo or a simple logo in the corner of the page. Once the Graphic Object window
appears, click the Browse button to select the graphic file you want to appear on the
page.
Text
You can add either static text or variable text to a border. Static text appears as-is
when the border is applied to a photo. When you apply a border to a photo that
contains variable text, you are prompted to enter text to replace the variable. For
example, you might have a static text label ―Name:‖ and a text variable for the name.
When you apply the border to a photo, the application prompts you to enter the name
of the person in the photo so his or her name appears.
Effect
You can add an effect object to overlay other objects in your template. The effect
object takes on the effect you specify, such as grayscale or color saturation. When you
layer the effect object on top of another object on the page, the effect is ―applied‖ to
the object.
