Drag on photo to re-position inside its frame. Drag on end of arrows to resize and rotate.
The Photo Tool
The Photo Tool provides a range of ways to enhance and crop any photo.
To crop a photo, just drag across the photo while in the ENHANCE PHOTO TOOL.
You can adjust the crop edges by dragging on the crop handles around the
outside of the photo.
Or use the CLIP TOOL for more control over crops.
See the section on Photo Handling for background information on the advanced way
in which MAGIX Page & Layout Designer 2013 handles photos, and the section on
the Photo tool to find out how to use the Photo tool.
Photo Resolution
Page & Layout Designer always stores the full resolution image (unless you chose to
import reduced resolution images when asked during import, as mentioned above).
This means you can resize or crop your image as required with no loss of quality.
If you want to size a photo, or any object, to a specific size, just enter the required size
into the
SELECTOR TOOL InfoBar width or height fields.
When you drop a photo on the page (assuming you're not replacing an existing
photo), it's sized to be 500 pixels wide. But if you want this to be exactly 200 pixels
wide, just enter 200px into the W size field of the
SELECTOR TOOL. You can enter it
in any unit, e.g., entering 2in will make it 2 inches wide.
