Hi friends,
I'm coming to you with a new book. Christmas and New Year are ahead, my family and I usually watch the Harry Potter series of films at this time. It is these films that we always associate with the Christmas and New Year atmosphere. And I wanted to make a book on this topic. I've added the ability to edit a personal letter from Hogwarts. After all, every Potter fan will be very pleased!
Since I had more time (I spent 3 weeks on this project), I created the book from scratch. Revised and improved the concept. The result is already close to the ideal book I dream of.
In addition, I always try to make the process of editing a project easier. But due to the large number of layers, sometimes you have to search for photos in the layer tree. This problem is quickly solved using the attached style. But our forum member John Tice told me an even better way to create projects with easy photo replacement. Thank you very much, John! And I want to tell you about this method. Perhaps it will be useful to someone. The method is described in italic text.

The concept is that 2 additional folders are created in the project folder. One with the name YOUR PHOTOS. We move all the photos of the project into it, renaming them 01.jpg, 02.jpg, etc. Open the program and tell it the new location of the photo. Save. The second folder is called PROJECT PHOTO. Initially it is empty. If you just want to change the photos in the project, but find the ones you need, rename them in order 01.jpg, etc. For safety, transfer the project photos to the PROJECT PHOTO folder, and add your renamed photos to the YOUR PHOTOS folder. Important! In order for this change of photos to work correctly, you need to check the “crop” option on the layer with the photo during the creation of the project. Then the replaced photos will be applied correctly and smoothly, regardless of their size or orientation (portrait or landscape). By doing this we will not violate the intention of the author of the project.
That's all. All efforts for the author of the project consist of checking the cropping boxes for the photo, creating 2 folders, renaming the photos and moving them to the desired folder. After the program confirms the new path and file names, the project is ready to work with easy replacement of photos in the folder. In order to edit a project, a person will only need to select photos in jpg format, rename them and replace the original photos of the project with them. For those who ask about the need to create 2 new folders, I will immediately answer that it is simply a matter of convenience.

So, for those who haven’t read the italic text and are wondering whether it’s easy to change photos in a project, I answer: Easy! You will only need to select photos in jpg format (with the approximate location of the object in the center), rename them 01-14.jpg, and replace them with the original photos of the project in the folder. I plan to remake all my projects for such easy editing, as I highly value ease of use!
I wish you happy holidays!
