Photographs and pictures you create with other programs can become a part of your Kid Pix picture.
You can even paint on them and add special effects.
To add a picture:
1. From the Import menu, choose Graphic.
2. Find the picture you want to add and click it. Choose BMP, GIF, JPEG, PDF, PICT, PNG, SGI,
TGA, or TIFF format from the Enable pop-up menu.
3. Select one of these options:
• Shrink/stretch to fill canvas stretches or shrinks the picture to fill the whole drawing area.
• Fill canvas without shrinking/stretching puts the picture on the canvas so that it fills as
much of the drawing area as possible without shrinking or stretching the picture out of
shape. The edges of the drawing area might be left unfilled.
• Center at original size puts the picture down as it is, without stretching or shrinking it.
• Repeat many times scales the picture down to 25% of its original size and puts down lots
of these smaller versions until the drawing area is filled.
4. Click Import to add the graphic to the picture.
5. You can use the handles of the graphic to change its size.

flattened.
