HOME · SOFTWARE TOUR · PRINTINGPRESS PLATINUM SOFTWARE TOUR· FLOATING IMAGES

You can easily add floating images to any stationery, even envelopes and place cards. To add a floating image, choose Image, Insert Image from the Design menu. The Insert Image window will appear:

In PrintingPress Platinum, the Insert Image window contains an additional control: the Float image over text checkbox. If you do not check the checkbox, your image will be inserted into the text of your card. If you check the Float image over text checkbox, the image will be inserted floating over your stationery. The image will have drag handles for stretching and resizing:

You can drag the image to any location on the stationery or specify an exact location by choosing Image, Move Image in the Design menu. The Move Image window will appear:

Specify the distance from the top edge of the stationery to the top edge of the image in the Distance to top of image field. Specify the distance from the left edge of the stationery to the left edge of the image in the Distance to left of image field.

You can also float an image behind the text of your stationery so that the text is printed over the image. Just select the image and then choose Image, Float Behind Text in the Design menu. If your image is floating, either Float Over Text or Float Behind Text will be checked in the Image menu. To insert the image into the text of your card, select the menu item again to uncheck it.

Later in the tour you will learn how to align and distribute floating images. You can also apply any of the advanced image effects available in PrintingPress Platinum to floating images.
