Replacing the Placeholders with Photos
To add a photo to a photo frame, simply double-click on the placeholder. This launches FotoFinish where you can browse for the photo you would like to insert into the frame.

Once you've found it, drag it to the image area. You will be asked if you want to replace the placeholder.

If you click on Yes, FotoFinish will open the photo in the Work Area and automatically transfer the photo into the frame in your Designer layout.

You can close the image in FotoFinish and switch back to the Designer to see the result.

If you want to crop, rotate, or adjust your photo in any way, simply double-click on it again to return to FotoFinish.

Here you can use all the familiar photo editing functions.

If your photo doesn't fit the frame just right, crop or rotate it. Or simply fix exposure or apply special effects using the Image menu commands.
