Adding Images

To add an image, drag this onto the canvas from the Image Well

Crop and Zoom Image

Select the Crop/Zoom Image tool and then adjust the slider and image to the desired crop.

Image Spacing

Select the Drop Zone™ that needs to be adjusted. Then select the Image Spacing tool and adjust the slider until the desired spacing is present.

Aspect Ratios

There are 4 different options for Aspect Ratios within the Social Design app; 1:1 aspect ratio, 3:2 aspect ratio, Native (original) aspect ratio, and Free (filled) aspect ratio. There is also a Reset Image Layout selection to revert to the design before adjusting.

1:1 Aspect Ratio

The 1:1 aspect ratio will adjust images to be squares.

3:2 Aspect Ratio

This will adjust images to be 2:3 or 3:2 depending on original orientation.

Native Aspect Ratio

This will adjust images to be the original aspect ratio of the image. In the example images, the 3:2 and Native aspect ratios display the same because the images were shot in a 3:2 ratio.

Free Aspect Ratio

This will adjust images to fill the space of the Drop Zone and will change as you change the size of the Drop Zone.

Reset Image Layout

Drop Zones allow you to adjust images using sliders between the images to create the perfect size. The Reset Image Layout selection will revert these changes and return the layout prior to slider adjustments.

Stroke

Select the Stoke tool to adjust the weight of the stroke line as well as the color. A Hex code may also be inputted below.

Opacity

Change the Opacity for the Drop Zone™ by selecting the Opacity tool and adjusting the slider.

Duplicate

The Duplicate button will make an exact copy of the Drop Zone™ you have selected. Move or adjust this duplicate as desired.

Drop Shadow

Use the Drop Shadow icon to toggle a drop shadow on and off for that Drop Zone™.

Layers

Select the Layers icon to move Drop Zones™ up, down, to the top, or to the bottom.

Move to Top: Drop Zone™ will be placed as the top layer
Move Up: Drop Zone™ will be moved one layer up
Move Down: Drop Zone™ will be moved one layer down
Move to Bottom: Drop Zone™ will be placed as the bottom layer

Delete

The Delete icon can delete an entire Drop Zone™ or a single image. To delete a single image, select that image so there is a blue box around the image. Then select the delete icon. To delete an entire Drop Zone™, select the outside edge of the Drop Zone™ (orange box) followed by the delete icon.
