Once you’ve selected the style and photos to use for your Creative product, you will be taken to the Folio Edit screen. The Folio Edit screen allows you to customize your Creative product through the selection of photo placement, layouts, background colors, text placement, and page sequencing. To skip these options and proceed with the order, press the Preview button.
To add a photo to the current page, simply touch or click the area that says Photo, and select an image from the Photos tab at the bottom of the screen. Alternatively, you may drag-and-drop the photos from the photo library onto a photo box. You may use the arrow buttons to the left and right of the images to scroll through your photos. The button in the top, right corner of the photos tab may be used to see larger thumbnails of your available photos.
To change the photo used in one of the boxes, touch the box then touch a photo from the photo library, or drag-and-drop a photo on top of the existing photo.
**Note: Photos labeled with a green checkmark have already been added to the current product. You can add an image multiple times to a product, but only one checkmark will appear in the photo library. Alternatively, if you chose the autofill option, then the images will be marked as you enter the Folio Edit screen.
Once you have added a photo, you can make adjustments to resize, move, rotate, or remove a photo box entirely from a page. Additionally, photo borders can be added in black or white and applied to a photo, entire page, or entire product. The red directional arrows may be used to move the image within the photo box. The + and - buttons are used to zoom in or out on the photo. Use the Rotate Photo button to rotate the image within the photo box or the arrow in the bottom, right corner of the photo to change the photo box angle.
If you wish to color correct the photo, press the Edit Photo button. Use the automatic correction and brightness/contrast buttons to make changes to the image. To restore your photo to its original settings, press the Reset Photo button. When you are finished editing the image, press the Done! button.
**Note: You must select an image to see the available editing options. Selected images will have an orange border.
