  PhotoSpills Photo Options

Normally, PhotoSpills will use your photos in the order they are found.  This is the sequence that you selected individual photos or the order they were placed in a folder.  Your pictures will be matched with landscape and portrait as specified by the design you have chosen.

The image below is of the upper left frame in the Finishing Touches window.  The three check boxes along the right side of this frame can control the sequence of your photos.


Depending on the design selected, you may have only one or two of these options.

Random  -  Having this box checked will rearrange, or shuffle, the order of your photos each time the collage is re-displayed.  With this option set, you can redo the same collage design over and over getting a different photo arrangement each time.

Match  -  If this box is checked, the orientation of your photos will match the orientations within your chosen design.  Landscape photos will only be used for landscape places.  When not checked, your photos will be taken in order and the photo will be cropped as necessary to fit the design.  By default, this box is checked for each design.

Blank every  -  Some designs allow you to skip photos in the design.  When this option is set to a number other than zero, photo locations will be left blank in the design.  Note: Smaller numbers mean more blank spots.

Note:  When doing a custom frame with captions for a photo list, you should always use  Match  and never use  Random.  Mixing those options will cause captions to be used with the wrong photos.


There can also be two buttons at the bottom of this frame. 

Change Photos  -  This button lets you change the source of your photos.  When you click on this button, you will be shown the normal window for selecting your photos.

Shuffle Photos  -  Clicking on this button will cause the sequence of photos to be re-ordered.  Your Preview window will be redrawn with the new order of the photos.  You click on this button multiple times until you find the best format for your collage.  When you click on the Spill button, it will generate the collage using the sequence of your last shuffle.
