Coupon Code

A code relating to a promotional event. You enter it during the check-out process.

Crop

Cropping is the process of removing portions of your photo or placeable graphic. You can crop an image using the Crop tool located within the Touch-Uptools menu.

Favorite Photo

This photo will be automatically emphasized (enlarged and centered) within the layout preview.

Flash Card

A form of flash memory. Flash memory is computer memory used for storing and transferring data between systems and devices, such as digital cameras.

Font

A complete set of characters — letters, numbers, and symbols — that share a common weight, width, and style; also known as typeface.

GIF (.gif)

Graphics Interchange Format. The file format commonly used to display simple images on the World Wide Web. It was designed to save space, so it supports only a small number of colors and thus is not a good choice for photos. JPEG is a better choice for photos.

Graphics Panel

This area of the screen displays all available placeable graphics associated with the current theme.

Independent Theme Graphics

Also called “placeable graphics,” these are unique theme based elements you can apply and manipulate on your layouts.

JPEG (.jpg)

Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) format is commonly used to display photographs and other continuous-tone images on the World Wide Web. Unlike GIF format, JPEG retains all color information but compresses file size by selectively discarding data.

Layer

Layers are like sheets of stacked acetate. You can see through transparent areas of a layer to the layers below. You move a layer to position the content on the layer, like sliding a sheet of acetate in a stack. You can also change the opacity of a layer to make content partially transparent.
