Several background options are available to all users. To explore the patterns, simply click on the pattern icon located above the image well.

To apply a background to all pages in an album from planner view, double-click the design and it will be instantly applied to every page. Alternatively, right-click the pattern and select 'Apply pattern to all pages' from the contextual menu.

To adjust the opacity of a background pattern, open the spread in designer view and select the background. Then, use the slider or enter a numerical value to adjust the opacity. Alternatively, you can use the dedicated hotkeys: Command/Ctrl + Number keys 1-9, or 0, to quickly modify the opacity.

If a background has been accidentally applied to all spreads, you can remove it from every spread by right-clicking the pattern in the pane and selecting 'Remove pattern from all pages.'

You can create and import custom background patterns with ease. The process is identical to importing PNGs or images.

1. Click the pattern well icon located above the image well.

2. Drag and drop your pattern file into the pattern well.

Any image in the design or image well can be set as a background. To apply an image as your background, simply right-click on the image and select 'Set as Background' from the contextual menu. Alternatively, you can remove it by selecting 'Remove Image' from the same menu.

The background image has similar Drop Zone controls as standard images:

1. Opacity

2. Zoom

When using the Quick Design Picker, the background image remains unchanged, while the other images are rearranged.
