Creating photo projects
You can use your photos in various fun projects that you can share with family and friends. For example, you can create
photo projects, such as albums, greeting cards, CD/DVD labels and jackets, and photo collages. You can print these
photo projects at home, or you can upload them to an online printing service. You can also use your photos in online
photo galleries, photo slide shows, and flipbooks. For more information, see

Give your projects a personal look by customizing the project templates. Adjust layout colors to better complement
your photos, and add new graphical elements, text, and effects, such as drop shadows and glows. Use the Contents
panel to quickly browse hundreds of frames, themes, backgrounds, clip art, and effects to apply to your photos and
photo projects.
