The Planner View allows you to see all the spreads in the album. It’s the primary space for quick design work, where you can drag and drop image groups to efficiently plan out your album layouts.
To begin building an Album select an image and drag it on to the empty spread.
Planner View Tools
When a spread is selected, the Planner View tools will appear on the right. Use the Planner View tools to arrange and adjust your spreads’ designs.
-
Move Tool: Rearrange spreads within the album by selecting the tab and dragging the spread to a new position.
-
Shuffle Images: Randomly shuffle the images within the spread while preserving its current design.
-
Shuffle Design: Cycle through various auto-design layouts based on the number of images and their ratios/rotations.
-
Quick Design Picker: Click this to open a window displaying a variety of auto-design combinations to choose from.
-
Delete Spread: Click the 'X' to delete the selected spread.
Add New Spread
To add a new spread, drag and drop an image between two existing spreads. Select the images you want to use for the new spread, then drag them to the space between the two spreads where you want the new spread to appear. A yellow rectangle will pop up, indicating where the images will be placed. Release the mouse to drop the images, and the new spread will be created.
Duplicate A Spread
Duplicating a spread is similar to duplicating a Drop Zone. In Planner View, select the spread you want to duplicate, then go to the Edit menu and choose 'Duplicate Spread.' An exact copy of the spread will be created.
