To Add Images
Image objects are similar to card backgrounds, except that they can be placed on your card
design in much the same way as objects such as images, barcodes, and static or dynamic text.
1. Click on the Image button in the Tool Bar, or choose the Image command from the Draw
menu.
2. Move the mouse pointer onto the editing screen.
3. Press the left mouse button to anchor one corner of a flexible rectangle, and then drag
the pointer. The flexible highlighting box stretches from the anchor point to the new
pointer position.
4. When you are satisfied with the highlighting box's size and shape, release the left mouse
button. The Image Properties dialog box appears.
5. Choose the Load Image button. An Open file dialog box appears.
6. Select the image file you want to load into your card design, and click OK. You will be
returned to the Image Properties dialog box, and the image will be loaded onto the card
design. If you wish, reposition the Image Properties dialog box so that you can view the
image object beneath it. This will allow you to reset the object's properties, and see
immediately how they will affect the appearance of the image.
7. Select whatever image property options are necessary. Refer to “Editing Object
Properties.”
8. Click OK.
Image ghosts and cameo effects can be applied to Image objects. For complete details, refer to
“Editing Object Properties.”
To Resize an Image
1. Select the image. Handles will appear on each side and corner of the object.
2. Position the pointer over one of the handles, then press and hold down the left mouse
button.
3. Drag the pointer to a new position on the editing screen.
4. When you are satisfied with the image’s new size and shape, release the left mouse
button.
To Draw a Perfect Square
Hold down the SHIFT key while you draw the highlighting box. The image will be sized to fit within
the square.
