Photo Field
Photo fields contain the cardholder’s captured image. You can move
and size photo fields, as well as rotate and add a border to them. You
can specify that the backdrop be removed from the image at
Production time. For complete information, see “Adjusting Photo
Backdrop Removal Parameters” in the Operator’s Guide.
You can also specify that a photo field appear “ghosted” or semi-
transparent. If you apply the ghosting option, you can specify the
degree of opacity for the photo.
Ghosted photos, photos with borders, and photos that use
background removal will not print correctly if they are on a card side
configured to print using only the K-panel.
Alternatively, you can specify that the photo be converted to
grayscale and, optionally, printed with the K-panel of the printer
ribbon. See “Printing Graphics with the Card Printer’s K-panel” on
page 114 for complete information.
See the online help topic “Add a photo field to a card” for step-by-step
instructions.
Some photo field options are not compatible with others. If you select
an option that is not compatible with an option you previously
selected, ID Works Designer will present a message alerting you to
the conflict.
