all of the artwork for a specific design theme. Also, some design themes canwork for multiple occasions. For example, if you’re working on a Vacation layout,you may want to consider the artwork in the Seasons category, as well.

Plan your layout – Hallmark Scrapbook Studio gives you a large workspace.You can import your photos and manipulate them for size and orientation onthe screen, or design your layout on the screen, and then cut and paste yourphotos. Either way, you’ll need to think about how much journaling space youneed and how many photos you want on a page. For ideas on page layouts,look through the layouts provided with Hallmark Scrapbook Studio.

Make the most of your photos–The artwork in Hallmark Scrapbook Studio isdesigned to enhance your photos and stories. Select backgrounds and framesthat complement and showcase your photos but that don’t overpower them.You may want to use a small round or heart-shaped frame to focus in on acloseup of a face and expression, but photos with lots of people in them shouldbe larger. Keep photos in uniform shapes and sizes for a more formal look, ortilt and turn photos for a more informal, fun approach.

If the background of a photo is cluttered or detracts from the subject, considerremoving the background. Use PhotoPower, included with Hallmark ScrapbookStudio, to crop, recolor, retouch, and correct red eye in your photos. Then addthem to your scrapbook pages when they’re just right!

Reviewing Your ProjectMany Hallmark Scrapbook Studio projects contain sample text. After you’vepersonalized your design, be sure to check for the following before you print:



17

• Have you changed all the personalized examples to fit your situation?

• If you changed names, for example, did you change other related words inthe project? Example: If you changed “Alec” to “Melanie” on a child’sbirthday page, be sure you changed any male pronouns like “he” and “him”to “she” and “her.”

• If you wrote your own text, are your spelling and punctuation correct? Usethe Hallmark Scrapbook Studio spell checker to verify your spelling.

Editing TipsWith Hallmark Scrapbook Studio projects, you can change a few words or theentire block of text. Here are a few suggestions to help you create that uniquepage about that special person.

PersonalizeIdentify people in your photos. You’ll sometimes be given a name example, sobe sure to change the name to the one you’d like to use. Don’t forget to addyour own name, if you’re included in a group photo, for example.

CustomizeYou can also personalize the text by including something unique about theperson. You can work a nickname, hobby, or favorite thing easily into a page’stext to make that page “extra special.”

ExploreBrowsing through other occasions, categories, or recipients may spark a newidea or produce a message that’s almost perfect. A few word changes can turnan anniversary page into a wedding page for the one you love, or make afriendship page into the perfect page about your mother.

Saving a ProjectAfter you’ve selected and personalized a project, you can save it in itscustomized form to reuse.

To save a project:

1 From the FFiillee menu, click SSaavvee.



18

2 In the Save As dialog box, type a description for the file. orTo replace an existing file, type that file name.

3 Click SSaavvee to create the project file in the default location. orLocate and open a different drive or folder for the file, and then click SSaavvee.

You should save your project as you work. That way, you’ll have a recentversion of the project if you make a mistake or if your computer loses power.

To periodically save a project:

• From the FFiillee menu, click SSaavvee. The project is saved using the name and location you originally selected.

Step 3: Printing a ProjectAfter you select and personalize a project you are ready to print. (Forinformation on sending your project by e-mail, see Chapter 4: Sending YourProject by E-mail.)

To print a project:

1 On the Personalize screen, click PPrriinntt. orFrom the FFiillee menu, click PPrriinntt.The Print screen appears. (If you have made changes to the project thathaven’t been saved, you’ll be prompted to save them at this time.)

2 Select the paper size.Most projects will be printed on standard 8.5”x11” paper. For certainprojects, you can also use the traditional album size of 12”x12” or 4”x 8” ifyour printer can print onto that size of paper. Depending on your printer,you may need to enter a user-defined paper size for these projects.

3 To change the print format, click a different format. Hallmark Scrapbook Studio’s artists designed each project for a specificformat that is automatically selected. If you change the format, you may wantto print a draft to see if you like the way the project is resized.

4 Select the paper source. (For heavy paper, you may need to select MMaannuuaallPPaappeerr FFeeeedd.)



19

5 To change the printer’s options, click PPrriinntteerr SSeettuupp. Make the neededchanges and click OOKK.

6 Use the arrow buttons to adjust the number of copies (1 to 99).

7 Place the paper in the printer.

8 When you are ready, click PPrriinntt NNooww.

Note: By default, Hallmark Scrapbook Studio prints projects at the highest qualitysetting available for your printer. You can choose to print faster, but at a lowerquality setting. To print at a lower quality setting, click the TToooollss menu, and thenclick HHiigghh QQuuaalliittyy PPrriinnttiinngg ((oonn)) to change it to HHiigghh QQuuaalliittyy PPrriinnttiinngg ((ooffff)). (If thecommand says HHiigghh QQuuaalliittyy PPrriinnttiinngg ((ooffff)), you are already printing at the lowerquality setting.)

Printing TipsHallmark Scrapbook Studio is compatible with most Windows-compatibleprinters. Make sure that you follow the care and maintenance instructions foryour printer. Follow your printer manufacturer’s advice about the type of inkand cartridges to use. If there are problems with the color or ink, such asuneven appearance or colors that do not match the screen colors, refer to theprinter manual for troubleshooting and technical support.

To preserve the original colors of your creation, store your page away frommoisture and light.

Using an Inkjet PrinterInkjet printers print by spraying tiny dots of ink on the paper. The printeraccepts information from the computer about what to print for a few lines ofdots at a time. The speed of printing may vary, depending on the speed of yourcomputer, the amount of memory in your computer, virtual memory settings,and whether or not you are using print spooling. See your printer manual forsuggestions.

Ink requires time to dry. The amount of time varies depending on the type ofink, the absorbency of the paper, the density of the color, and the humidity. Ingeneral, avoid touching the ink.



20

Using a Laser PrinterLaser printers print by applying the toner to the paper under heat. The printer“builds” the entire page to be printed in its memory before it begins printing. Bepatient; it may take a while for the computer to print and the laser printer to“compose” your creation. (If the FFoorrmm FFeeeedd light on your printer is on or theOOnnlliinnee light is blinking, that usually means everything is okay and the printer isworking.)

If your printer doesn’t have enough memory, you may get a Memory Overflowmessage on the printer or computer screen, or only part of a page may print.See your printer manual for help.

Choosing the PaperChoosing the right paper is a key factor in making your Hallmark ScrapbookStudio project look professional. The thickness, or weight, of the paper isimportant. If the paper is too thin, the ink may bleed through or make it so wetthat it appears wavy. If the paper is too thick, it may not feed through theprinter well. Acid free paper is less likely to fade or damage photos.

Your printer manual will indicate what weight of paper can be used in theprinter. Look in the Specifications section and under PPaappeerr in the index of yourprinter manual for this information.

Feeding the PaperTypical laser and copier bond papers are fine for printing. However, to give yourprojects a more professional look, you may want to use higher-quality papers.

Often, higher-quality paper is a different weight than the paper you normally usein your printer. If it is very different, you may need to change one or more ofthe following settings:

• A manual-feed/auto-feed setting in the Printer Setup dialog box.

• A manual-feed/auto-feed setting on your printer.

• Mechanical switches on your printer.

Consult your printer manual for exact instructions.



21

Step 4: Decorating Your ProjectIt’s fun to decorate the projects you create in Hallmark Scrapbook Studio. Youcan attach ribbons, used ticket stubs, wrapping paper from birthday presents orother items to make special, one-of-a-kind scrapbook pages.

You can purchase embellishments at most craft and fabric stores, and attachthem to your pages with a variety of adhesives.

Chapter 7:Adding Graphics

Hallmark Scrapbook Studio projects are made up of graphics, shapes, symbols,and lines as well as text. All objects, including graphic objects, are surrounded byframes. You can move, resize, shape, and replace objects.


• Work with the frames that surround all objects.

• Use the Art Book to find graphics and add them to projects.

• Insert shapes into your projects.

• Select the graphics collections to view.

• Import digital photos into your projects.

Learning about FramesEvery graphic or text object in a project is surrounded by a frame, although yousee the frame only when you select the object. You cannot move, reshape, oredit the contents of a frame unless the frame itself is active; that is, selected andvisible on the screen.

To select a frame:

• Click the frame.

To select a frame that is behind another frame:

1 Click a frame in the project.

2 Press TTaabb repeatedly to cycle through the frames until you select the frameunderneath.

Changes you make to a frame affect everything within the frame in the sameway. Usually, only one frame is active at a time, but there are ways to selectmultiple frames. No two objects ever occupy the same frame.

Hallmark Scrapbook Studio Adding Graphics


36

The Frame FunctionsThe boxes that appear on the frame outline and in the center are referred to ashandles. Each handle has a particular function. To move, resize, rotate, or skewan object, drag one of these handles.

Moving FramesYou can drag the active frame anywhere on the project or onto the workspace.Nothing in the frame changes when you move the frame. You can click thecenter handle in the frame or click anywhere in the frame. If you want to movethe frame on a straight horizontal or vertical path, press the SShhiifftt key whilemoving the frame. (For best results in this case, drag the frame’s center handle.)

Corner Resizing HandleYou can use the corner handle to proportionally change the height and width ofthe frame.

Vertical Resizing HandleYou can use a top or bottom handle to increase anddecrease the height of the frame while keeping the widthconstant.

Horizontal Resizing HandleYou can use a side handle to increase and decrease thewidth of the frame while keeping the height constant.

Note: When resizing frames, by default, the handle opposite the one you are usingfor resizing remains anchored during resizing. However, you can resize around thecenter of the frame by pressing CCttrrll while resizing. This is especially handy whenyou have centered an object on your project and want to resize it without havingto center it again when you’re finished.

RotationYou can rotate a frame to any angle by using the handle extending horizontallyfrom the center. The contents of the frame do not alter, only their angle. Theframe rotates around its center, not the center of the project. The handle in thecenter of the frame shows where the center of rotation for that frame is.



37

SkewingYou can skew or bend many Hallmark Scrapbook Studio graphics to the side.Graphics that can be skewed appear with the Skew handle, which extendsvertically from the center of the frame when you select the graphic. Drag thehandle to the right or left to skew the contents of the frame.

Inserting GraphicsYou can either browse through the graphics available in the Hallmark ScrapbookStudio Art Book or search for specific graphics and insert them. Alternatively,you can insert your own graphic files.

2 Click CCooppyy.

3 Then click PPaassttee.

4 Move the graphic to the location you want on the panel.

Note: To quickly duplicate graphics on the same project, see Duplicating Graphics.

To rotate a graphic:

• Select the graphic, and then click one of the RRoottaattee arrow buttons. Clicking the LLeefftt aarrrrooww rotates the graphic counterclockwise.Clicking the RRiigghhtt aarrrrooww rotates the graphic clockwise.



44

To delete a graphic:

• Select the graphic, and then click EErraassee.

If you’ve made a mistake:

• Click UUnnddoo from the EEddiitt menu to undo any action, including Erase.

Using the Workspace to Crop GraphicsYou can change the shape of a graphic’s frame, but you cannot directly edit thecontents of a graphic image. If you want to use part but not all of a graphic, trymoving the unwanted portion of the graphic off the edge of the project. Thoughstill part of the graphic, the unwanted portion will be hidden and will not print.The rest of the graphic can be pulled back onto the page if you want it in yourproject again. The unwanted portion will be invisible on your screen and will notprint.

You can also cover part of a graphic with a rectangle the same color as thegraphic’s background. Place the rectangle over the unwanted portion of thegraphic.

Duplicating GraphicsIt’s easy to duplicate graphics with the DDuupplliiccaattee command. Use this commandto make a copy of the selected graphic. The new graphic appears on top so thatit overlaps but doesn’t completely cover the original graphic.

With the DDuupplliiccaattee command you can quickly copy and place graphics that youwant to repeat in your project. You can still resize and reposition all the graphicsas you like, using the frame handles.

To duplicate a graphic:

1 Select the graphic in the workspace.

2 From the EEddiitt menu, click DDuupplliiccaattee. A duplicate graphic appears in the project, overlapping the original.

3 Repeat step 22 to create additional duplicate graphics.



45



Overlaying GraphicsHallmark Scrapbook Studio projects can consist of carefully arranged overlays ofgraphics, symbols, shapes, lines, and text blocks. Shapes especially are oftenplaced behind all the other elements of a project to give it visual balance.

The BBrriinngg TToo FFrroonntt, SSeenndd TToo BBaacckk, BBrriinngg FFoorrwwaarrdd OOnnee, and SSeenndd BBaacckk OOnneecommands on the OOrrddeerr submenu on the OObbjjeecctt menu are designed to helpcontrol the objects in your project overlay.

• The SSeenndd TToo BBaacckk command places the selected object behind all otherobjects in the project.

• The BBrriinngg TToo FFrroonntt command places the selected object in front of all otherobjects in the project.

• The BBrriinngg FFoorrwwaarrdd OOnnee and SSeenndd BBaacckk OOnnee commands are useful whenyou have several overlapping objects placed on your project. Thesecommands move the selected object forward or backward one level.

Object order is defined by the order in which the objects are originally placedon the project, not by the objects’ relationship to one another on the project. Ifyou use the SSeenndd BBaacckk OOnnee command, for example, and it does not producethe expected results, it is probably because the objects you are trying to movewere actually placed several levels apart from one another.

You can create complex overlays using these four commands, and experimentwith different layout possibilities.

To change an object’s order:

1 Select the object to change.

2 From the OObbjjeecctt menu, choose OOrrddeerr>>BBrriinngg TToo FFrroonntt, OOrrddeerr>>SSeenndd TTooBBaacckk, OOrrddeerr>>BBrriinngg FFoorrwwaarrdd OOnnee, or OOrrddeerr>>SSeenndd BBaacckk OOnnee.

Note: If you ever lose a graphic while using these commands, it might be coveredby a larger graphic or other object. Select the larger object and use SSeenndd TToo BBaacckkto put it in the background. Then the smaller object will appear again.

Working with Overlapping GraphicsYou can place, select, and manipulate overlapping text and graphic objects on aproject page.

46



Using Close ViewsGraphics and text are inserted at the default size relative to your screen.However, if you zoom in on your project and then insert the objects, this willmake inserted text and graphics smaller relative to your project. You might findusing close views in this way faster and more precise when you want to inserttype in a small point size, shrink a graphic, or select an object from a group ofclosely placed objects.

Selecting Objects with the TTaabb KeyIf you are having trouble selecting objects with the mouse, try using the TTaabb key.The TTaabb key cycles through objects on the workspace.

To select an object with the TTaabb key:

1 Select any object on the workspace.

2 Press TTaabb until the object you want is selected.

Centering and Aligning GraphicsUse the following procedures to center and align graphics on a project page.

Centering GraphicsYou can use centering commands to place one or more graphics at the verticalor horizontal center of a project page. You can center graphics vertically,horizontally, or both. If you’ve selected more than one graphic, centering isindividually performed on all selected graphics.

Note: Centering multiple graphics can cause them to overlap, or can cause largerobjects to cover smaller objects. For hints on displaying, selecting, and reorderingoverlapping or covered objects, see Working with Overlapping Graphics.

To center graphics:

1 Select one or more graphics in the project page.

47

2 Select one of the following:

TToo DDoo tthhiiss

Center graphics horizontally (left From the OObbjjeecctt menu, choose to right) on a project page CCeenntteerr>>HHoorriizzoonnttaallllyy.

Center graphics vertically (top to From the OObbjjeecctt menu, choose bottom) on a project page CCeenntteerr>>VVeerrttiiccaallllyy.

Center graphics both horizontally From the OObbjjeecctt menu, choose (left to right) and vertically (top CCeenntteerr>>BBootthh.to bottom) on a project page

Aligning GraphicsYou use aligning commands to align multiple objects on a vertical or horizontalplane. When you choose an aligning command, the centers of all selectedobjects are aligned to the center of the first object you selected. Because thealigning commands work with multiple objects, at least two objects must beselected for the commands to become available.

To align graphic objects:

1 Select two or more objects on the project page by pressing SShhiifftt whileclicking each of the objects.

2 From the OObbjjeecctt menu, click AAlliiggnn OObbjjeeccttss HHoorriizzoonnttaallllyy.Objects are aligned on a horizontal plane, using the first selected object’scenter.orFrom the OObbjjeecctt menu, click AAlliiggnn OObbjjeeccttss VVeerrttiiccaallllyy.Objects are aligned on a vertical plane, using the first selected object’scenter.



48

Selecting and Grouping GraphicsYou can select multiple objects and group them to work on more than oneobject at once. You might want to resize everything to better fit on your page,or tilt or rotate two separate text blocks. With multiple selection and grouping,you can select and work with more than one frame at a time.

Selecting GraphicsWith a multiple selection you can perform commands simultaneously onseparate frames. The frames are still treated as separate objects rather than as agroup. Each frame still rotates, skews, and resizes around its own center, not thecenter of the group of selected frames.

To select multiple frames:

• From the EEddiitt menu, click SSeelleecctt AAllll. orPress SShhiifftt while you select each object. orDrag the pointer around the objects you want (marquee selection).

Note: The starting point for marquee selection must be outside of any object’sframe. If you have a background in your project, zoom out and start yourmarquee selection on the workspace.



49

Every command that you apply affects all the selected frames (until you unselectthem).

To cancel the selection from all selected frames:

• Click anywhere on your project (outside the frames) or on the workspace.

To cancel the selection from individual connected frames:

• Press SShhiifftt while you click each object you want to clear.

Grouping GraphicsBy grouping frames, you can perform commands simultaneously on multipleframes. The center of the group of connected frames is used as the center pointaround which objects are sized and rotated. This allows you to resize and rotategroups of objects while maintaining their relationship with one another.

To group frames:

1 Select two or more objects on the workspace. (Press SShhiifftt while you clickeach object you want to select, or press CCttrrll++AA to select all objects.)

2 Click the GGrroouupp OObbjjeeccttss button. orFrom the OObbjjeecctt menu, choose AArrrraannggee>>GGrroouupp.

To ungroup frames:

1 Select the grouped frame.

2 From the OObbjjeecctt menu, choose AArrrraannggee>>UUnnggrroouupp.

Working with Multiple Selected and Grouped FramesThe following commands are generally available for selected and grouped framescontaining at least one graphic:

• Moving commands (You can move all frames by dragging them or using thearrow keys.)

• Resizing commands

• Rotating commands



50

To resize multiple selected or grouped frames:

• Click the ++ SSiizzee arrow to increase the size of the frames.orClick the -- SSiizzee arrow to decrease the size of the frames.

To rotate multiple selected or grouped frames:

• Click the RRiigghhtt RRoottaattee arrow to rotate clockwise.orClick the LLeefftt RRoottaattee arrow to rotate counterclockwise.

Warning: If you delete a frame that is part of a group or multiple selection, all ofthe frames will be deleted. Make sure to save your project before deleting toprevent mistakes.

Changing the Shape of Your PicturesPart of the fun of working with digital pictures is the ability to trim (or crop) a picture or cut out an area of a picture and then add it to a project.

There are several ways to change the shape of your pictures:

• TTrriimm:: Define an area you want to keep and throw away the rest.

• CCuuttoouutt SShhaappeess:: Create a cutout using a preset shape.

• CCuussttoomm CCuuttoouutt:: Create a custom cutout by using the TTrraaccee tool or theEEddggee tool.

When you trim a picture or create a cutout, a transparent red “film” overlaysthe areas of the picture you want to throw away. Don’t worry about harmingyour photo. Creating a cutout does not physically remove part of your picture.

Trimming a PictureWhen you trim a picture, you select an area you want to keep and throw awaythe rest of the picture. When you click TTrriimm, a trim box appears on the picture.

60

You can move and size the trim box so it surrounds the area you want to keep.

To trim a picture:

1 Click AAdddd CCuuttoouuttss && EEddggeess on the PhotoPower window.

2 Click TTrriimm. A trim box appears in the center of the picture.

3 Click one or more of the move arrows to move the trim box.orDrag the trim box to the desired position on the picture.

4 Click the small or large arrow to decrease or increase the size of the box.orDrag a handle on the trim box. (Press the SShhiifftt key while dragging to changethe trim box proportionally.)

5 Review the changes you’ve made. Modify the changes or click AAppppllyy tochange the photo.

6 When you’ve defined the area to keep, click DDoonnee. orClick SSttaarrtt OOvveerr if you are not happy with the area you’ve defined.



61

Creating CutoutsYou can create a cutout using preset shapes. When you click a shape, a cutoutbox with the appropriate shape displays in the center of the picture. You canmove and size the preset shape so it surrounds the area you want to cut out.

To create a cutout with a preset shape:


2 Click CCuuttoouutt SShhaappeess, and then select a shape. A box in the selected shape appears in the center of the picture.

3 Click one or more of the four move arrows to move the cutout box.orDrag the cutout box to the desired position on the picture.

4 Click the small or large arrow to decrease or increase the size of the box.orDrag a handle on the cutout box. (Press the SShhiifftt key while dragging tochange the box proportionally.)


6 When you’ve defined the shape to keep, click DDoonnee. orClick SSttaarrtt OOvveerr if you are not happy with the shape you’ve defined.



62

Note: To create an ‘empty’ cutout with the rest of the picture as a frame, youkeep the area outside the shape you’ve defined. Select a cutout shape, size andposition the shape, and then click IInnvveerrtt CCuuttoouutt AArreeaass.

Creating Custom CutoutsYou can create custom cutouts in two ways:

• You can trace an object to create a cutout.

• You can define an edge and let PhotoPower outline the object for you.

Tracing a CutoutTo define a cutout along lines you trace, use the TTrraaccee tool. Each time you clickthe tool, PhotoPower inserts an anchor point to create the outline.

To trace an object to create a cutout:


2 Click CCuussttoomm CCuuttoouutt, and then click the TTrraaccee tool.By default, ++ (Plus) is selected to include the area you trace. Click -- (Minus)to exclude the area you trace.

3 Move the pointer to the edge of the object you want to trace and click. Thisinserts the start point box.

4 Continue to click along the edge of the object until you return to thestarting point. orTrace the edge of the object by moving the pointer along the edge.

5 Click the start point to close the cutout. A transparent red “film” indicates the areas of the picture you want tothrow away.



63



You can include or exclude the traced area at the beginning of the traceprocedure. If, after tracing an area, you change your mind, you can reverse theareas to be cut out and saved.

To invert the cutout areas:

1 Define a cutout area as described in Tracing a Cutout.

2 Click IInnvveerrtt CCuuttoouutt AArreeaass.The areas previously excluded (shown on the photo in red), are included inthe cutout, and the previously selected area is excluded.

3 Click AAppppllyy, and then click DDoonnee.

Defining a Cutout EdgeYou use the EEddggee tool to let PhotoPower help you define the cutout along thelines you trace. As you click around the edge of an object to trace it,PhotoPower outlines the object.



64

To define an edge to create a cutout:


2 Click CCuussttoomm CCuuttoouutt, and then click the EEddggee tool.By default, ++ (Plus) is selected to include the area you trace. Click -- (Minus)to exclude the area you trace.

3 Move the pointer to the edge of the object you want to define and click.This inserts the start point box.

4 Continue to click along the edge of the object until you return to thestarting point. PhotoPower creates a line along the edge of the person or other object youare trying to define.

5 Click the start point to close the cutout. A transparent red “film” indicates the areas of the picture you want tothrow away.





65

By default, the EEddggee tool is configured to work well with most photos. You canchange the EEddggee tool settings for sensitivity and color/edge balance.

To change EEddggee tool settings:

1 On the Custom Cutout screen, click EEddggee FFiinnddeerr SSeettttiinnggss.

2 Select HHiigghh, MMeeddiiuumm, or LLooww sensitivity.(With higher sensitivity settings the EEddggee tool detects smaller differences incolor and edge.)

3 Drag the slider to the right to detect edges more by edge contrast or dragthe slider to the left to detect edges more by color change. orClick the arrows to select a value. (Higher values detect edges more by edge contrast.)

4 Click OOKK.
