Photo Frames |
You can add a photo frame, give the frame a colorful fill, and use it to frame a photo in your project.
To frame a photo using a photo frame:
1. Choose Photo Frame from the
Insert
menu, or click the Insert Photo Frame button on the Objects toolbar. The Select a Frame dialog appears.
2. The names of the frames are in the list on the left. Use the scroll bar to view the entire list of frames.
3. Previews of the frames appear in the preview area on the right. Select one of the View options to change the preview. You can select the Gallery View option (the default setting) to see four frames at a time, or the Large View option to see a single frame.
4. Select the name of the frame you want to use.
5. Click the Fill Inside Frame button. The Color and Texture dialog will appear, allowing you to add color, blend, or texture inside the frame area.
6. Click OK to add the photo frame to your project.
7. Drag the photo frame on top of the photo and resize until it covers the photo the way you want it to.
If you have added a color fill inside your photo frame, you will need to ensure that the frame is at a "lower" level than your photo in order to combine the two. To do this, select the frame, then choose Layer from the Arrange menu and choose Send to Back from the submenu. You can now drag the photo onto the center of the frame.
