Editor Feature: Use a Photo as a Background with One Simple Click

Back in the good old days, if you didn’t want to upload your photo as a background, you had to stretch the photo over the page, account for bleed and trim areas, remove the border, and position your photo. Well, those prehistoric days are gone! Our Fill Page tool will automatically do all those things for you! All that’s left for you to do is to use the panning hand to ensure that the correct part of your photo is showing.

How do we use this feature? It’s really quite simple! First, drag the photo you want to use onto the page. In the Photo Toolbar, you’ll see the Fill Page Tool. Click it to fill your page with your photo.

*Please note: If you want other photos on top of the background, you will want to add the background photo first. Place your other photos on the other page and then drag them over on top of your new background. Avoid dragging photos in from your photo tray because you’ll just be swapping the background with a new photo.

We hope you enjoy using this feature! We cannot wait to see how wonderfully your books turn out with photo backgrounds! Happy Mixbooking!
