To store the picture frame for reuse globally or just in the publication,
drag to the Assets tab's My Designs or Picture Frames category. For the
latter, if you close the publication, you'll be asked if you want to save the
frame to an asset pack. See Storing designs in PagePlus Help.
Adding pictures
The Assets tab (Pictures category) acts as a "basket" for initially
gathering together and then including pictures in your publication. Its
chief use is to aid the design process by improving efficiency (avoiding
having to import pictures one by one) and convenience (making
pictures always-at-hand). For picture-rich publications in particular, the
tab is a valuable tool for dragging pictures directly into bordered or
unbordered picture frames or for simply replacing existing pictures on
the page.
PagePlus also lets you insert pictures of a wide variety of file formats,
such as bitmaps, vector images, metafiles (including Serif Metafiles), and
DrawPlus files.
PDF files can also be placed as non-editable graphics. When placed as
graphics, PDFs be moved, rotated, cropped and recoloured like normal
images, but cannot be edited using PhotoLab, the Cutout Studio, or an
external image editing program. To edit PDFs in PagePlus they need to
be opened or inserted as editable documents.
For photos from your digital camera, you can simply navigate to the
folder containing your already downloaded photos (i.e., on your hard
disk) and include them in the tab. Similarly, scanned images already
saved to your hard disk can be added by this method.
