Day 12/28 Tips, Techniques, and Training Tidbits - Studio J®

There are many amazing features of Studio J that we have yet to discover! Today I'd like to teach you how to switch paper (both cardstock and background and texture). Let's say you have your layout all selected but when you start to add photos, the background color or pattern is too busy, too plain, or just the wrong color. Here's where the power of Studio J comes in...simply click within the color or pattern to select it (indicated by a blue outline). With it selected, now go to the filing cabinet (the tabs along the left side of the workarea) and click on Paper to expand it. Click to select the new paper you'd like to use and drag it onto the paper you want to replace. It's that easy!

See you tomorrow,

Laurie

FREE ITEM

Get in the habit of hitting the "Save" button, found in the upper right of the workspace. This is vital to your workflow! Heaven forbid your internet connection is lost and all of your hard work and creative energy is POOF, gone. So, my recommendation is that every few minutes you click that magical "Save' button to insure your beautiful work is saved.

Below the work area where your layouts are shown in large size, you may see "thumbnail" images of your actual layout images. You can toggle them on and off. When they are in the off state, you have a little more "real estate" to work with your full page layouts.

Images for uploading into Studio J should be no more than 9.5 MB in size. Before uploading images into Studio J, make any image corrections using another photo editing software. Examples of image corrections include red eye removal, color balance, color correction, etc.

You can choose to add your photos all at once or later. It doesn't have any effect on your workflow other than you probably do want some pictures to work with!

There is a maximum of 150 photos for a project. You'll be creating some outstanding layouts with that number of photos!!

See you tomorrow,
