Design Photo Layouts with Ease

Changing the Appearance of a Photo Frame
You can also change the look of any photo frame by right-clicking on the frame and selecting a shape from the Shape menu. Choose a heart, a star, or just a different rectangle.

You can also set a frame's border thickness, style, and color from the Shapes menu on the toolbar. Set Border Thickness to None to have your photo appear on the page cropped by the frame but with no visible border.

Adding a New Frame to the Layout
To add a new photo frame to your layout, simply drag one of the ready-made photo frame shapes from the toolbar and drop it on the page.

Deleting a Photo Frame
You can delete an existing photo frame from your layout by selecting it, then hitting the Delete key.

If the frame contains a photo placeholder, deleting it removes the placeholder and the Photo Frame Properties, but leaves behind the geometric shape on your page.

If the frame that contains an actual photo, then deleting it deletes the entire object (photo, frame, and shape).
