If you don’t want your photos horizontal (or vertical) from page edge to page edge, will it align between the two outmost pics? Or does the alignment based on the distance between the first two photos chosen? Sometimes I have chosen four across the page and they even go off the page. It seems like the distance between the first two photos is the determining factor.
The alignment tool (spacing evenly) for both a vertical and a horizontal row/column will always use the spacing between the first two elements.
Hi-I have been using the Artisan and previously Creative Memories for years so I am a seasoned user. Sometimes when I use the ‘space evenly vertical’ tool it is wonky and then I have to try eyeing it. Today I was spacing three pictures and there is no way the third picture spaces evenly. In fact, it is quite a shorter distance from the second element to the third than what it is from the first to second. This has happened a number of times in the past when I use Artisan. Any ideas as to why this happens? Thanks Faith
Make sure there’s no invisible box around the image that isn’t lining up correctly. Or that you haven’t unwittingly grouped two things together. Try flattening each of the elements (individually) and then aligning them. If nothing works, or if this is a recurrent problem, send support@forever.com an email and they will be able to have a look and see what’s happening.
I flattened the elements and that worked. If it continues to be an issue I will contact support. Thanks for your help.
I can’t seem to find the vertical alignment in the text path in Artisan 5. What am I missing?
This video shows you how to do that Linda:

Didn’t know how much I was missing the tools that Artisan 5 has to offer. Making things the same size needed to be determined between height and width. Thank you
Glad you know now Joy!
