To prevent an object from being accidentally moved once you have it
positioned where you want it, you can click on one or both of the
"Locked" checkboxes. Selecting "X-coord Locked" will prevent
horizontal movement, and "Y-coord Locked" will prevent vertical
movement.
The "Lock Aspect Ratio" checkbox prevents the overall
proportion of and object from changing. Thus, if you make an
object wider, it will also become taller by the same ratio. If you
turn off "Lock Aspect Ratio", you can stretch or distort the object
horizontally or vertically.
Image Processing
VIP Composer Professional allows you to adjust the brightness and
contrast of an image object for optimum results. Simply fill in your
desired value in the "Brightness" and "Contrast" boxes. You will have
to click on OK to exist the Picture Properties dialog in order to see the
effect of the values you enter.
The normal range for brightness is 1 to 200, with 100 showing the exact
brightness of the original image. The normal range for contrast is 1 to
200, with 100 being the original contrast as well. Small changes in these
values can make a big difference – don't try entering extremes on your
first attempt. Most images look best with values in the range of 80 to 120
for brightness or contrast.
