194 Roxio Creator User Guide www.roxio.com Creating new photo projects in PhotoSuite A photo project is a collection of objects, such as photos, text, and graphics, placed on a canvas. You can add, remove, and manipulate these objects, and apply special effects to them. You can start a new project with a blank canvas, to which you can add photos, text, and clip art, apply effects, and so on. Note The optional Photo Projects Assistant allows you to create selected types of projects, such as personalized calendars and greeting cards. To create a blank canvas: 1 To open a blank canvas, choose File > New > New Canvas. The New Canvas dialog box appears. 2 Select a canvas size from the box. If you select Custom Size, enter a width and height, and select the unit of measure to be used. 3 Set the canvas orientation to Portrait or Landscape. 4 In the Background Color drop-down list, select a color. Tip: For more color choices, select More colors. Or use the eye dropper: Click the eye dropper tool, and then click a sample of the color you want to use. You can click a color anywhere in the PhotoSuite window-for example, you can select a color from a photo in the Open Files pane. 5 Click OK. A blank canvas opens in the Canvas area.
