Creating a Digital Scrapbook Layout

• Insert Your Images in Photo Layouts
  See the Photo Layouts, which are the photo frames that contain placeholders for photos. When you double-click on a placeholder, you will be taken to the main FotoFinish program area, where you can select one of your photos and drag-and-drop it into your place holder. Close the image to get back to Designer.
  
  
• I'm going to double-click the top frame, and in the main FotoFinish area I will open Photo Explorer and open an album with pictures of my dog, Molly. I select a picture by dragging and dropping. Since my dog's eyes have red eye, I use the red-eye tool to fix it. Then I just close the photo and I am back in Designer, with my photo of Molly in the top frame. Then I repeat the process and insert a second photo of her in the bottom frame.

• Resize and reshape your Photo Frames
  This is the fun part. Want to change a photo frame? You can resize any photo frame by first selecting it and then dragging the black resizing handles located along the edges of the frame. By default, when you replace the placeholder with a real photo it will fill the entire frame area. You can also resize the frame once it has a photo inserted in it. If you modify its proportions, you can reveal more of an otherwise larger photo. I'm going to leave my frame as-is, but feel free to experiment with yours.
  
  
• Rotating Photo Frames and Pictures
  You can rotate a photo frame by dragging on the circular Rotation Handle near its edge. However, the image inside it does not rotate. To rotate the photo, use the Rotate command in the main FotoFinish program before placing it into the photo frame in Designer. You can edit your framed photo by double-clicking on it. This takes you to the regular FotoFinish program. After editing your photo, close the window and your edited photo will be updated in the frame.
