Using Drag and Drop or Copy and Paste: To utilize this feature, follow the step-by-step instructions below:
1.) Open your cookbook project in our program.
2.)Navigate to the page where you want to add a photo.
3.)Locate the image you wish to include in your cookbook. This could be a photo stored on your computer or any other image accessible to you.
Drag and Drop Method:
- Click and hold the image you want to add.
- While holding the image, drag it to the desired location on the cookbook page.
- Release the mouse button to drop the photo onto the page. The image will automatically be placed in the photo box.
Alternatively, you can use the Copy and Paste Method from your clipboard:
5.) Resize and adjust the photo as needed. Most photos can be resized by clicking and dragging their corners or edges.
Note: Chrome and Photo DPI: It is important to note that the browser you use may affect the resolution (DPI) of the photos you add to your cookbook. In particular, Google Chrome may sometimes reduce the DPI of images when copying and pasting or dragging and dropping them into our program.
To ensure the best image quality, we recommend using Safari as your browser when working with this drag and drop or copy and paste feature. Safari generally preserves the original DPI of images, resulting in sharper and more vibrant visuals in your cookbook.
I need to know how to add more than one photo to a recipe page. I don't see any option to do so
Janis,
Right now we have two photo page layouts that can hold two photos. Your covers, section dividers, recipe pages and story pages can only have one photo. However, you can create a collage or group of photos in a third party photo editing program and then upload it and set it as a picture. There are a number of websites that allow you to quickly create a photo collage and then download the file. I have found that Canva and Fotor are both easy to use
