Today, we will take a look at the sticker toolbar. The sticker toolbar consists of seven buttons that will provide you with all your sticker customization needs.
1. The Flip Tool will flip the selected sticker, mirroring its original image.
Although not on the actual toolbar, we want to take the time to point out the free rotation icon. Just like with photos, grab and hold the circle with your mouse, and you’ll be able to freely rotate your sticker to the left or right.
2. The Color Tool can change the color of your sticker. Choose a color and then the different filters to apply a color style.
3. The Edit Tool allows you to access the Shadow Tool, Effects Tool, Adjust Tool, and Opacity Tool.
The Shadow Tool adds a drop shadow to your sticker.
The Effects Tool adds different filters to your sticker such as Black and White or Sepia.
The Adjust Tool gives you the ability to adjust the colors of your sticker through brightness, saturation, and contrast.
The Opacity Tool can adjust the transparency of your sticker.
4. The Span Tool allows your sticker to be placed on the gutter of lay flat photo books so it seamlessly is placed over two pages. Click it once to half-span. Here’s an example of a half-span, where it hides under the gutter:
Here’s an example of a full span. The sticker is placed right on the gutter across two pages. Please only do this if you are planning to order a lay flat photo book. Otherwise your sticker will get lost in the gutter upon print.
5 & 6. Bring Forward and Send Back Tool The next two buttons go hand in hand. Clicking on the respective button will either bring your sticker forward a “layer,” or send it back. The following screenshot will show you the same sticker placed on different “layers” on the page.
Here’s the sticker brought all the way to the front, on top of the other layers (the two photos).
Here’s one click of the Back Tool, which sends the sticker behind one layer. You can see the cone behind a photo.
And finally a second click of the Back Tool sends the ice cream sticker behind both layers/photos.
7. Remove Sticker Just like on the photo toolbar, this last button will remove the sticker from the page.
So there you have it! Everything you need to know to fully utilize the sticker toolbar. If you’re feeling a little daring, why not upload your own stickers? If you know of any sites with some great digital stickers, be sure to let us know in the comment section below!
