Working With Pictures

Poster Designer Pro offers a variety of tools and techniques for working

with the images on your poster. In this tutorial, we’ll start with a themed

layout, then we’ll show you how to add your own pictures, crop them, and

apply some basic image adjustments.

We’ll be using the sample images installed with Poster Designer Pro. In a

standard installation, you’ll find this folder in the following location:

C:\Program Files\Serif\Poster Designer Pro\1.0\Images

You can use your own images if you prefer.

To open a themed layout :

1On the File menu, click New from Startup Wizard.

2Click the Use Themed Layout option.

3In the Create New Poster From Themed Layout dialog, scroll

the left Themed Layouts pane and select the Theme 04 thumbnail.

4In the right

Layouts pane,

select the third

layout variation.

5Click OK.

The layout opens in

the workspace.

Adding pictures

The themed layout provide four placeholder picture frames for you to add

your own photos.

You can add pictures individually, by clicking directly on a placeholder, or

you can add multiple pictures to the Media Bar and then drag them onto

the frames as you need them. We’ll demonstrate both methods.

To add a single picture to a frame:

1Click once inside the upper-left picture frame (or select the frame and

then click the Replace Picture icon that displays in the lower-

right corner).

2In the Import Picture dialog, browse to your C:\Program

Files\Serif\Poster Designer Pro\1.0\Images folder.

3Select the 4568665.jpg

file and click Open.

The picture is added to

the frame and scaled to fit.

When the picture is selected,

note that the Picture Frame

toolbar displays in the lower-

right corner. You can use

these tools to adjust your

picture inside the frame.

To adjust a picture inside a frame:

·To reposition the picture inside the frame, click Pan, and then click

and drag on the picture with the Pan cursor.

·To rotate the picture counter-clockwise, in 90° increments, click

Rotate.

·To zoom in or out of the picture, click Zoom In or Zoom

Out, and then click on the picture.

·To replace the picture, click Replace Picture, browse to and

select a new picture and click Open.

Using the Media Bar

If you’re working with lots of pictures, or are not

sure which of your pictures would work best on

your poster, you might prefer to add them to the

Media Bar before adding them to the layout.

To add images to the Media Bar:

1On the Media Bar, in the rightmost drop-down

list, select Temporary Album.

2Click in the blank area of the tab.

- or -

Click Add Image.

In the Import Picture dialog, navigate to your C:\Program

Files\Serif\Poster Designer Pro\1.0\Images folder.

3Press and hold down the Ctrl key and select the following files:

·3176257.jpg

·4568665.jpg

·5261963.jpg

·6295505.jpg

4Click Open.

The photos are displayed

as thumbnails on the

Media Bar.

Using the Media Bar

By default, pictures are added to a temporary

album, but you can also create more permanent

albums from which you can retieve stored

images at any time.

For details, see the How To tab or the Poster

Designer Pro online Help.

Viewing the

Media Bar

If you can’t see the

Media Bar, click

the

handle at the

bottom of the

workspace.

5Drag the photo of the

couple (3176257.jpg) onto

the upper-right picture

frame.

6Drag the photo of the ski

lift (5261963.jpg) from the

Media Bar onto the

lower-left frame.

7Drag the snowy scene (6295505.jpg)

from the Media Bar onto the lower-

right frame.

Once you’ve added pictures to frames,

it’s easy to replace them.

Let’s switch the bottom two photos...

To replace a picture:

1Drag the photo of the ski lift

(5261963.jpg) from the Media Bar

onto the lower-right

frame.

2Drag the snowy scene

(6295505.jpg) from the

Media Bar onto the

lower-left frame.

Free-floating pictures

You can also add unframed ‘free-

floating’ pictures to your poster.

To do so, simply drag a

thumbnail directly onto the page,

rather than onto a picture frame.

Cropping pictures

At the left of the workspace, on the Attributes

toolbar, the Crop flyout provides tools for

cropping framed and unframed pictures on the page.

To crop a picture:

1Select the photo of the ski lift, then

on the Crop flyout, click the

Square Crop Tool.

2Click and drag the left edge handle

inwards, as illustrated.

3Click on the upper-left picture and

drag the right edge handle inwards

slightly, so

that the sun

displays in the

center of the

frame.

4(Optional) To reposition a cropped

image inside its frame, click and drag

on the image (the cursor temporarily

changes to Pan).

5On the Tools toolbar, click the

Pointer Tool and then drag the

cropped pictures to realign them.

You can also use the Align tab if you

prefer (see online Help for details).

Applying image adjustments

When you select a picture, the Picture context toolbar displays at the top

of the workspace, automatically.

This toolbar provides quick and easy access to key picture-related

controls—replace, resize, recolor, and so on—and also lets you apply

useful image adjustments, such as red eye removal and brightness and

contrast adjustments, with a single click.

To apply an image adjustment:

1Select the photo of the couple in the

upper-right frame.

We can improve this photo by applying

brightness and contrast adjustments.

2On the Picture context toolbar, click

Decrease Brightness.

Click again until you achieve the

desired brightness level (two or three

times should be sufficient).

3Click Increase Contrast.

Repeat as required.

4(Optional) Experiment with the other

adjustments provided on the Picture

context toolbar to see how they

effect the photos

on your poster.

Advanced images adjustments

Poster Designer Pro includes a powerful mix of advanced

image correction and adjustment tools— including levels,

color balance, channel mixer, HSL, and Unsharp Mask—and a

selection of creative effects such as Diffuse Glow and

Gaussian Blur. All of these are applied from the Image

Adjustments dialog, which you can open by clicking

on the Picture context toolbar.

We’ve reached the end of this tutorial on pictures. We hope that you have

enjoyed working through these simple exercises. You should now be

feeling familiar with the basic tools and techniques we’ve shown you, and

ready to start using them on your own poster layouts.

For more information on the topics we’ve covered here, and on more

advanced techniques, see online Help.

We may have finished

adjusting our pictures, but

there’s still lots you can do

with your poster.

In the illustration on the right,

we edited and formatted the

text objects (see the Working

With Text tutorial), and added

drop shadows from the

Styles tab to the picture

frames (see the How To tab

or online Help).
