Layout Preview

The interactive window representing your layout. Elements such as photos, placeable graphics, and text boxes are added, manipulated, and arranged in the layout preview.

Low Resolution Warning

Using an image that’s too small (i.e., low resolution) results in pixilation — a blocky, coarse look when the image is enlarged to fit the layout. If your photo is too small, a warning icon will appear in the lower left of the preview panel.

Local Hard Disk

A storage device inside or attached to your computer. Most of your information, programs, photos, files, and the computer operating system are likely stored on it.

Monochrome

Literally “single color”; usually taken to mean black-and-whiteor grayscale.

My Products

A listing of products you’ve created during a single session. This listing is found at the Product Catalog screen.

Opaque

Neither transparent (allowing all light to pass through) nor translucent (allowing some light to pass through).

Page Spread

A set of pages viewed together, such as the two pages visible whenever you open a book or magazine. The page spread is a basic unit in book design.

Photo Border

A part or strip that represents the outer edge of your photos, such as “thin black” and “thin white.” The software offers several styles.

Photo Selection Wheel

This control is found in the bottom left corner of any photo you place onto your layout. It allows you to quickly swap the photo with any other used photos.

Photo Tint

A color overlay applied directly to your photo.

Photos Panel

This panel displays all of your imported photos, separated into two categories: Used and Unused.
