The Page Editor

To edit web galleries, click on “Web” in the Main Tool bar. This opens the most recent opened web gallery.

At the right of the window you see the “Edit” and “Describe” bar, just like in the Image Archive. In Page Editor mode, modifications in these panes only take effect on selected objects on the currently opened page. This way you can change the descriptors or image tool settings for your needs on this web gallery.

Guidelines

In Page Editor and Layout mode, you can access, adjust settings, and name guidelines through Guides under the View tab. In this window you have the opportunity to apply color and set the transparency factor. Once you have created the parameters for a set of guides, you just need to press the save button. Another window will pop open that allows you to name the set of guides for use in the future. All the guide settings you have saved are in the left-hand pane.

Guides enable you to perfectly align various objects along a line. Guides are not design elements; they will not appear in the output. To create a new guide, click the mouse on the horizontal or vertical ruler and drag it to the workspace.

You can move your guides at any time by clicking and dragging them. To remove a guide, simply drag it back to its ruler. Arrange multiple guides on the place to create a general layout pattern for your page. To space guides evenly or to keep pixel-perfect distances, move the mouse pointer over a guide. The current position of the guide and its distance to either neighbor will display.

By default, guides act “magnetic.” Objects that you bring near a guide will automatically snap to the guide's exact position. To change the behavior of guidelines and related settings, right-click on the page background and choose “Guides” from the context menu.

In the panel “Guides” you can control the “magnetic” property of guides as well as their position and appearance. With the “Save Settings” button, you can add a pattern of guidelines to the list of stored settings for future reuse on a similar page.

If you have too many guides and you don’t want to close them one by one, or if they are starting to become a distraction, you can use the “Clear Guides” button to remove all guides instantly.
