Working in Project Mode
The Project mode gives you a focused environment in which to create
custom greeting cards, calendars, invitations, birthday and anniversary
cards, name cards, and planners. The Project mode is useful for getting
through a “project” as quickly and efficiently as possible. It is where Photo
Express lives up to its name, speeding you through all the necessary tasks
while keeping all the unnecessary or extraneous components secure in the
background. While in Project mode, you can only open template files, but
you can add photo files of any image type to your templates in the process
of customizing them.
To Begin a New Project
1. Click the Project tab when you start Photo
Express. Photo Express then switches over to
Project mode, which contains slightly different
options and commands than Photo mode.
2. Click the album icon on the Toolbar and
then select an album from the Options panel.
Albums are categorized by type, such as Flyers,
Greeting Cards, and Invitations to name a few.
3. Choose a template from the album and click
the Edit button on the Command panel. The
template opens into the workspace.
You can create your own, custom
templates in Photo mode. All you
need to do is set your template up
(i.e. add text objects and artwork)
and then save it as a *.tpx file. This
file can then be opened in Project
mode and saved to one of the many
Project albums or added to a
custom album.
