Ever wanted to take your 8 x 8 wedding storybook and make a set of 5 x 5s for your bridesmaids? Or use your 12 x 12 family year book as the base for an 8 x 8 storybook for your parents? A new tool called IMPORT A PAGE that was announced in August at Reunion and it allows Studio users to do just that. Here’s how.
Using the IMPORT A PAGE Function
1. Find the project you want to import FROM. Note its name.
2. Start your new project.
3. Go to a blank page.
4. Go to your MY PROJECTS tab and find the new IMPORT PAGE button.
5. Press the button!
6. Once the IMPORT PAGE button is pressed, a pop up box will be displayed. If nothing happens, check your browser settings and make sure you do not have pop ups blocked.
7. Click the YES, IMPORT THIS PAGE button (Understand it WILL replace everything you currently have on that page if you didn’t start with a blank page.)
8. Keeping LOCK PROPORTIONS on, unlock the placed images and shrink the old page size to fit the new page size.
Tips to Perfect Page Importing
1. Try to go down in size, not up. Photos may not have enough resolution to go up.
2. If you use the slider bar for circles, try inputting 1000 from now on instead. If you go up slightly in size the circle will stay true to shape.
3. Remember a 12 x 12 scrap page is well, 12 x 12. A page from a 12 x 12 book is 11.5 x 11.75. You can take the LOCK PROPORTIONS off and make it fit, but your photos will be skewed slightly. Upload them again from your projects tab to ensure they are correct.
IMPORT A PAGE is one of the coolest Studio tools Heritage Makers has introduced! Use it to make downsized book copies, go from your favorite 7 x 5 card to a 6 x 4, take that 20 x 20 canvas you love and convert it to our new 12 x 12 canvas—you’ll find a hundred uses for this cool new tool.
