Adding Objects, Backgrounds, and Edges
Soap 2 lets you dress up your image with a wide variety of backgrounds, edge textures
and objects, including cool professionally-drawn cartoons! You can drop any of these into
your compositions. By using objects, backgrounds, and edges, you can create interesting
compositions, including greeting cards, calendars, collages, invitations, calendars and
brochures. Edges do not appear in the Layers tray.
To add an object, background, or edge:

within the pages of the Composite Image Library.

Background Image layers are locked by default. Just unlock that
layer to adjust transparency. Adjust Background Image
transparency to get some very interesting effects.
