HP Creative Scrapbook Assistant - User's Guide

• If the item is already in the Images or Clip Art tab,

locate the desired thumbnail. Right-click (Windows)

or control-click (Macintosh) the item, then choose

Create New Shape.

3. In the Create New Shape dialog box, make your

selections:

• Edge Contrast: Move the

slider until the new shape has

the desired outline. Higher

numbers create a shape with

a more solid outline. Lower

numbers create a shape with a more jagged outline.

• Negative Image: Select this option if your original

item is white with a black background. The new shape

will have its black and white reversed.

4. Click OK. The new shape displays on the Shapes tab

in the currently selected theme or project.

5. If you want to save the item to a different theme or

project, rst place it in your workspace (see “Importing

and saving items” on page 32). To save space, delete

the item from the rst theme or project after you do this.

Tip: Shapes are a great way to “crop” photos or other

items. Create a shape from the photo, then place the photo

inside the shape that was formed by the largest solid area.
