You can insert an image onto your page 3 different ways.  Insert images by using our CLICK-TO-CLICK feature, or as a background!  This article will also go over how to refresh your photo categories, upload photos from the EDO designer, inserting a drop photo box as a place holder, and how to filter your images.

How to Insert Individual Images

On the Insert Items options, click on the “Insert Photos” button.  

Select a category to view the uploaded images. 

Select an image that you would like to use by simply clicking on the photo. (Photos will highlight in green once selected.)

Click the page you wish to insert the photo(s).The photo(s) will generate onto the page based on the size of the photo. (Note: If you have drop photo boxes on your page you, you can drop the photo on it by selecting the photo and then clicking on the drop photo box.)

Each time you select a photo an “Insert Ready” popup will preview at the top right corner of your workstation.

 Inserting Images As A Background

On the left, click on the “Insert Photo” button.  

Browse your photo categories, select a category and choose the image you would like to make a background. Select the image so it highlights with a green border.

Click Make Background, choose Left Page, Right Page, or both pages 

Please note: if you choose an image with a low DPI, your background might print out blurry. To check the DPI of the image click here to learn about our pre-flight warnings and low resolution images.

Uploading images within the page designer 

Uploading photos from the page designer is very simple. When you are on a page, Click on the “Insert Photos” button. 

There will be a blue button at the top that says “Upload Photos”. 

Select a category (Note: You can create a new photo category if needed.)

Browse for your files by clicking the “Browse” button and select your images, or simply drag the images into the Upload Photos box. Photos will automatically begin to upload.

How to use the refresh button in the photo editing menu\

 It is important to keep track of the photos that you have already placed on your pages so that you don’t use the same photo on more than one page.  In our photo editing menu, if you have used a photo in your yearbook, it will have a blue  border and it will say “Used in Book”.

Insert a photo that has not yet been used in the book. After you “Save” your page; click on the  Refresh button, and the image will be labeled “Used in Book”.

How to Insert blank photo boxes 

Click on the “Insert Photo” icon.  From here, you will see a button at the top that says “Blank Photos“. 

You can then choose a drop photo box, and hit “Insert Photo Box” or click on the page you want to insert the photo box.  There are lots of different shapes to choose from!
