Adding, Editing, and Removing Frames

There are 3 ways to add a single frame to an Easel composition:

Similarly, there are three way to add a frameset:

Moving & Resizing a Frame

To move a frame, position the mouse on it, hold down the left button, and drag it around. Release the button when done.

To resize a caption, move the mouse over an edge or corner until the cursor changes to a resizing icon, then hold down the left button and drag the edge or corner. Release the button when done.

Note: If the frame has been attached to an image, it will move and resize with the image; if you want to move or resize it independently, you need to unattach it first. See Working with Frames for more information.

Editing a Frame

To edit a frame, right click it to get the frame menu and select Edit Frame Properties, then use the Frame Editor window that appears. Click OK or Cancel when done editing.

If the composition has more than one frame, the frame menu has an Edit All Frames entry. Use this command to set one or more properties to the same values for all frames.

Removing a Frame

To remove an image, right click it and select Remove from the frame menu that pops up.

Editing and Removing Multiple Frames

To edit or remove more than 1 frame at a time, first select the frames, then execute the editing or remove command. To select all frames, click Selection/Select All Frames on the main menu. To select multiple frames at once, hold down the shift key and the left mouse button, then drag a rectangle that touches some or all of each frame to be selected. You can also select individual frames by right clicking, then clicking Select on the frame menu that appears. For more info, see Working with Selections.

Selecting a frame that is already selected deselects it.
