After choosing the size of photo sleeve you wish to order, you will be invited to upload your preferred images onto the Scotties Photos server. Once your images are transferred, you can use them to create your personalized photo sleeve.
IMPORTANT! You cannot return to the Photo Uploader during the creation of your photo sleeve WITHOUT LOSING the current work. Therefore, you have to upload all the images you wish to add onto your Scotties photo sleeve first.
Please note that only your images will be saved to the Scotties Photos server for a maximal duration of 60 days (completed photo sleeves cannot be saved).
SOFTWARE USE

There are hundreds of backgrounds, including 17 inspired by the Scotties collection.
You can change the background at any time in Customize mode. To activate this mode, press the blue “Customize” button located at the bottom of the Workspace.
2. There is a yellow warning in the upper left corner of my image.
When inserting an image to the Workspace, the Scotties Photos software compares the resolution of your images to the size of your final frame and the desired quality of print. A yellow warning signifies that the enlargement ratio of your image is too large and that its resolution is too low to execute a high quality print. To avoid this problem, only use high quality resolution images.
3. Will the placeholder be printed if I do not place text or an image in it?
Image and text placeholders that are left empty will not be printed and will remain invisible at final printing of the product.
4. How do I modify the images of my Scotties photo sleeve?
When you double-click on an image, you have access to an editing menu allowing you to adjust the rotation, size, pan parameters and many more options.
Please note that more options are offered to you in Customize mode. To activate this mode, press the blue “Customize” button located at the bottom of the Workspace. Don’t forget to add clipart from the wide range of available options.
