How to Set an Image as a Background

There are many ways to set an image as a background. You can choose from Memento Yearbook's background selection or use your own photos.

If you only want to change the background color, refer to this article : How to Set a Background Color

Follow these steps to set an image as your page background

A - Go to the Background Tab. B - Choose a category and single-click on the background you want to apply.

IMPORTANT: Please note that you can apply any image as a background. Simply navigate to your own photo folders and single-click on an image to set it as the background.

Resizing & Repositioning the Background

The background is clamped automatically to fill the entire canvas to its maximum capacity. You can, however, reposition or zoom in on the photo. Double-click on the background to make the pan & zoom handles appear.

To move the photo or background, click down on the crosshairs and drag in any direction. Note that you cannot drag the image past its edges.

To zoom in/out, click down on the magnifying glass and drag up or down. Note that the image cannot be zoomed out below 100% visibility.

Background Image Effects

Select your canvas background to access the Image FX options. Adjust color, tone, and even flip the background. Consult the Image Effects article to learn about the various effects.

Note that you can use the Flip Horizontal option to create mirror backgrounds.

To apply a color wash over an image or background texture, first set the background color on the Background tab. Next, add a texture or photo. Last, under the Image FX tab, dial down the image opacity. The photo/texture will now be washed with background color.

Using a color wash on a background can create an interesting designer effect.
