Did you know that buy clicking on multiple items while holding the Shift Key, you can easily apply your effects to many items at the same time.

Not only is this a time saver, but this guarantees that multiple items will have the exact same effect settings.

A Green Box will appear around the multiple items you have selected.

Under the Effects Icon, you can easily change the transparency of anything, even portrait images.  For example, increasing the transparency of a background allows you to consider using a “busy” background that you may have not considered in the past.

Pictavo and EZBook have templates you can use to quickly and easily insert images. Be sure and take a look at the templates; even if you don’t plan on using them because they are sure to provide you with some layout ideas.

Templates contained in Pictavo and EZBook “snap into place” and allow for quick and professional looking teams & club pages.

As we come down the home stretch and you are putting together the final pages of the book, I want to continue to feed your brain with creative ideas.  This blog’s focus is on Teams & Clubs pages.  Traditionally, these pages (in my humble opinion) are the least creative.  But over the past few years, I’ve seen some really interesting ideas.  Here are just a few!
