Editing Tips

LEARNING THE FLEX EDITOR

EDITING TEXT:

Below is an image of the way the editor will appear once you've clicked "CUSTOMIZE NOW".   Editing the type is as easy as clicking on any of the text and adjusting it to read how you like.  Once you've select the type; you should see available text blocks located to the left & all of the formatting options can be found under the lower tab "EDIT".  Formatting options will allow you to adjust letter spacing, line spacing, font size & color.

EDITING IMAGES:

Below is an image of the way the editor will appear once you've clicked "CUSTOMIZE NOW".  You should see available text blocks located to the left.  Editing the images and applying the effects can be really fun but there are a few things you should know first:

FIRST: 
There are basically 2 different kinds of templates.  Each functions slightly differently when editing the images. 

1. BACKGROUND TEMPLATES - these templates will allow you to select from pre-existing artwork called "backgrounds".  These background options will be custom built layouts with several color schemes to choose from.  They will be found beneath the main editing window under the tab called "BACKGROUNDS". 

 Background templates are created for simplicity and ease of use.  You can't edit the colors or elements with-in backgrounds, nor can you add "Image Effects".  You can change the background file by dragging the desired "background" thumbnail on top of the existing background art in the main editor window.


2.  IMAGE TEMPLATES - these templates will allow you to edit the artwork using the "EFFECTS" options.  With an image selected you will see all of your effects options are available to you.  They can be found to the lower left with the tabs called  "EDIT", "PROPERTIES", & "EFFECTS". 

**NOTE:  You can determine if a specific template is a "BACKGROUND" or "IMAGE" template by trying to select the background.  When you click an item; if it responds by giving you a box with corner anchors the you can edit the file and you will see the item's properties in the editing tabs.

IMAGE EFFECTS:

If you click on an editable image you will see the editing tabs display the selected image's properties in the below circled area. (EDIT / PROPERTIES / EFFECTS




If you select one of the image effects (Opacity, Dropshadow, Border, Hue/Saturation, Brightness/Contrast, Blur/Sharpen);  the settings for that effect should show up in the EFFECTS Tab.
