This saves it within the FotoFusion program. To save your project, just click file>save as, like you would for any other program. You also can change the opacity of the text to see through to the underneath- this feature is very useful for making monograms, and layering text over pics- how I make my sigs. Right click on the text frame and you†™ll notice a ton of options for layering: bring to front, send to back, and moving up and down a layer. Then click in each individual text frame to change the font, color etc. Learn to layer using text at first- start by either adding a second text box the way you added the first, or what I like to do is highlight my existing text box by clicking on it, then hitting ctrl+D to duplicate, Hit this several times to make multiple duplications (I also do this to duplicate frames). Click anywhere on the canvas to get rid of the menu when you†™ve made your changes. Play around with the options- you can change the color, opacity, shadow, outline, etc. Any ttf fonts you have stored on your computer will show up here. Use the dropdown font menu to change the font. In that menu, click in the text area to type whatever text you want in the frame. When you click the text box, you†™ll notice a text menu pops up- notice that you can edit the text, or the text shadow. To edit your text, double click inside the text box. Once your text is on your canvas, drag and drop the canvas box wherever you want, and resize using the side and corner handles. Hover over the square icon on the top of that menu and click to select either the image, the border, or the shadow- there are many options for each of these. If you click on a picture, you†™ll also notice that a menu pops up titled “frameâ€. To delete a frame, click the picture within the frame and hit delete on your computer. To pick up and exchange pictures into different frames, either right click and select “Pick up Selected†or click the number that†™s on the top of the frame. Or, under “Canvasâ€, click the icon on the far right the + sign inside a square- that will add a new frame to the canvas, and you can drop pictures into that. Hover over the canvas and drop either into an existing frame, or into a new frame- you†™ll see what I mean. If you select several pictures, you will notice them as small thumbnails by your cursor in the order they will be dropped. If you select just one picture, it will automatically add the picture to the canvas in a new frame.
Find the folder on your compter, and as in auto collage, hold ctrl down and select several, the OK, or double-click just one picture to add it to the canvas. Under “Main†click the folder icon- if you hover over it it says “Browse for Picturesâ€. You will notice that if you hover over any of these handles, their description pops up.Īdding a picture once you†™re in the canvas:
The button toward the top center allows you to rotate the image within the frame.
The center button allows you to drag the picture up and down, side to side within the frame (pan). The yellow squares just inside the blue corners will zoom in (crop) and out of your picture. The blue corners and sides will resize your frame. Finally, click OK at the bottom of the page to add your pictures to your canvas.Ĭlick on a picture- notice there are several buttons (or “handlesâ€) on your picture. Click Canvas Size Options to change the size of your project. Or to select several images at once, hold the ctrl button down and when you†™ve clicked on all your images, click Add to List. Choose your images by double-clicking, or dragging and dropping to the space on the left.
I've learned this all by trial and error, and I'm still learning, so if you've got something to share we'd all love to hear it!įind the file your pictures are in by using the drop-down Folder menu.
If you have something specific you'd like to know about, feel free to request. OK girls, as promised, here's a thread where we can share how-to's and info on LumaPix Fotofusion.
