Photo Mask
– Click on the respective button to insert an image into the associated
mask. All three of these buttons may not be available. If your selected
template only has one mask, only the first button will be available.
Use the pull-down to select an album. Select “New” to create a new one. Albums
contain thumbnail links to images stored on your system. Click
Open
to add photos to
an album. Click
Acquire
to capture images from external devices. Click
Delete
to
remove a thumbnail from an album (you can also choose to delete the source file).
Once you select a photo, it will appear within the appropriate mask on the screen. Click
the other
Photo Mask
buttons and select other photos. Remember, you can only select
as many photos as there are masks on your template.
Step 3: Fine-Tune
– Even though your selected photos are inserted into the template, they
likely need to be altered in a few ways so that they look like they’re
naturally part of the scene. You can make these adjustments on the
Fine-Tune Screen. Click the
Fine-Tune
icon to get
to this screen.
From this screen, you can apply various edits and enhancements to each included image.
– Select an image from the
Photo Mask
buttons. Once you’ve selected an
image, any changes you make will be applied to that image only.
– This command flips the selected image so that it looks like a
mirror image.

Step 1: Get Template
In this step, you will select the template for your project. A “template” is
the primary image in which other images will be inserted. You can think
of a template as the background, or scene, of your Funhouse image.
Within this scene, you’ll insert your own images to make it unique.
Click the
Get Template
icon on the left side of the screen. You’ll be taken to the
Template Screen, where you can preview, create, and select your Funhouse template.
The left side of this screen will contain a pull-down that contains several template
categories. Use this pull-down to select a desired category. Once you select one, you’ll
be able to preview each template within the category. Choose the “My Templates”
category to view, edit, and create your own templates (see the “Creating Your Own
Templates” section).
When you click a template thumbnail, it will appear in the main preview window.
Notice that on the template there will be one or more colored areas, usually over the face
of any figure that may be present. These are “masks”, which are areas that will end up
being replaced by images that you insert.
Click Okay when you’re ready to proceed. You’ll be taken back to the Main Screen and
your selected template will be displayed.
Step 2: Get Photo
Now that your template is selected, you can insert other photos into the
masked areas. This is done through the second step along the left side
of the screen. Click the
Get Photo
icon. You’ll be taken to the Get
Photo Screen.
From this screen, you can choose one or more (depending on your template) images for
insertion into your selected scene. Choosing photos works similarly to choosing a
template, but there are additional options.
