Arranging & distributing frames

The Image Toolbox provides access to a series of arrangement options, to organize a single frame or a multiple selection of frames in relation to each other.

To quickly change the "stack" order of a selected frame or frames on your canvas, click and drag on the "Arrange" icon on the tool box. The selected frame(s) will move up or down the stack accordingly.

To access more options, select one or more frames, then click on the "Arrange" icon:

Toolbox - Layers

which will launch the
list of available options

Arrange

First, decide how you will be using the tool to Align your images:

•	to a page as a group: all selected frames will move as one item.*

•	to page individually: all frames will follow the instructed alignment command as if they were the only element selected.

•	to each other: to distribute a multi-selection in relation to the total area occupied by the selected frames.

Alignment options include:

•	dead center positioning: selected frames will reposition in relation to the center point of the canvas;

•	flush to the top, bottom, left and right edges;

•	to the center horizontal line or vertical line.

Distribute options include:

•	spacing all selected frames evenly across the horizontal axis;

•	spacing all selected frames evenly across the vertical axis.

Ordering options include:

•	moving selected items to the top or bottom of the frame order stack;

•	moving selected items up or down one step in the frame order stack.

Note: Reordering your frames can be done interactively, directly through the Toolbox's Arrange icon. Drag on the icon, up and down, to move your selected frame to the top or to the bottom of frame order stack.

Resizing options include:

•	applying the size of the last selected frame to apply its attributes as specified to other selected frames;

•	matching the reference frame's width;

•	matching the reference frame's height;

•	matching the reference frames total dimensions;

•	resizing selected frame to the full width or height of the canvas (or to the safe guidelines).

* Please note: if you have your canvas set to "double page spread", the alignment tools will respect the center line. For instance, a group of images aligned to center will either align to the left page or right page, but not the gutter.
