Adding a Photo

Print Artist offers several ways to add photos. If you want to use an image that you’ve edited or enhanced, you can import it. To add a photo without modifying it, you can scan it directly into Print Artist.

Importing an Image

When you import an image, Print Artist copies the image file into the directory or folder where other image and art files are located. Then the picture is available to use with other Print Artist projects. Follow these steps to import a picture:

1Choose Import from the File menu. The Import dialog box appears, as shown to the right.

2Make sure JPEG is selected under List Files of Type. (Or select a different file type if the picture you want to use is not saved in the JPEG format.)

3Double-click the Directories box to display the directory list. Then double-click the directory or folder containing your PhotoPlus images. (The default is C:\PHOTOPLS\PHOTOS.)

4Locate the picture you want. You can click the Preview Graphic button to check if you have the right picture.

5Double-click the image file you want to use. The picture appears on the front of your valentine.
