Clip Art Tab
Working with Clip Art on the Clip Art Tab
The software contains a standard set of clip art for use in designing your pages. In addition, you can add your own clip art. To use this feature, click on the Clip Art tab on the Photos page.
TIP: If you would like to create and add your own clip art, it should be saved as a .PNG file, with enough resolution to provide good print quality. We recommend an approximate size of 1200 x 1200 pixels, which will allow you to scale the clip art up to 4 inches square while maintaining good print quality. For irregularly shaped clip art, the background should be transparent.
Adding a New Folder
When you are ready to upload your own clip art, click New folder to add a new folder for organizing your clip art in the software.
Enter a name for the folder when prompted, and then click OK.
Deleting a Folder
Click the Delete folder icon next to a folder to delete the folder.
Uploading Your Own Clip Art
To upload your clip art from your computer, select the folder you want to upload your clip art into, then click the Upload button at the top of the tab.
Next click Add Files, and locate the Clip Art files that you want to upload. Select the specific Clip Art files you want to upload, then click Open to start the upload process.
Progress indicators will provide status during the upload process, and you will be notified when it is complete.
To Preview Clip Art in a larger window and change the Caption, click the Preview/Info icon, at the top right of any photo thumbnail. The Preview/Info dialog will appear.
To change the name of the Clip Art, type the new name into the Caption field.
Click the Left and Right arrows to scroll through all of the Clip Art in the current folder.
