D. Images
PowisPrint™ software allows you to include monochromatic, standard
bitmap images (e.g., logos, scanned images, clip art) in your title design. It
also automatically fits your image to the zone you put it in, according to
the zone size and the book thickness.
1. Inserting an Image
a. Select an empty zone by placing your cursor inside it. You cannot
insert images into zones with text or another image.
b. To insert an image, go to the Insert menu, and choose Image.
The “Insert Image” dialog box opens.
c. Click the “Load Image” button. A standard Windows “Open file”
dialog box appears.
d. Navigate to the folder containing the bitmap file you want to
insert in your title design. Select the file and click “Open”. The image
you selected now appears in the preview area in the “Insert Image”
dialog box.
e. If you choose, rotate the image in 90° increments by clicking the
up and down arrows next to the “Rotate Image” box. You can also
invert the bitmap's colors by clicking the “Invert Image” box. When
the image is formatted correctly, click “OK.”
This returns you to the Design Window, which now displays the image
you have inserted on the strip. The image automatically scales to fit the
zone dimensions, and adjusts each time you make a dimension change to
your design. Nifty!
Remember: You can insert only one image per zone.
2. Formatting an Image
a. Sizing
You can control the your image’s size by changing the zone
boundaries. As the zone increases or decreases, the image adjusts to
fit the new dimensions.
b. Aligning
You can align the image by pressing the left, center, or right alignment
buttons on the lower tool bar in the Design Window.
c. Rotating
Once you’ve inserted an image on the Binderstrip™, you can rotate
it by selecting Rotate CW (ClockWise) or Rotate CCW (Counter
ClockWise) from the Format
è
Image menu. Each rotates the
image in 90° increments. Keep in mind that as you rotate the image,
its orientation changes.
3. Deleting an Image
To remove an image, go to the Edit menu, and choose Clear Zone.
