This effect is easy to produce and has a great impact. Simply select a page layout which has as many frames aligned to the edge of the page that you need for your effect. In this example I took a layout intended for 6 images, where 3 images were aligned to the top of the page.

Delete the unwanted frames on the page.

Then click on one frame and, keeping the control key pressed, click on the remaining frames. The yellow „active image“ frame should now surround all your image fields. This ensures that all image fields end up being exactly the same size.

In this example, I now clicked onto the red square at the bottom of the frame and pulled it to the bottom of the page, elongating the image fields.

Now take your image and drag it into each of the image fields.

Move each image around in it‘s frame until you get the effect you are looking for. Sometimes you need to use the zoom tool (4th from the right on the tool bar). Just remember to enlarge each image the same number of times.

If you move the entire image field by mistake (this can happen if your mouse moves onto the frame surrounding the image), just let go of the mouse and click on the „undo last action “button. It‘s the 3rd from the left on the tool bar.
I enjoy this site, it is worth me coming back
Great tip! Are there more desktop tips besides the 4 on this page?
Hi Barbara,
If you click on the link to the SmileBooks forum, you’ll find loads of video tutorials: http://www.smilebooks.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=7
I see it’s ages since I posted any of my own tips though. I’ll post some more in the next couple of weeks. Is there anything specific you’d like to have information on?
