Using Virtual Images

Getting started:
Most templates allow you to place 4 virtual images on to your page.  The nice thing about virtual images is they can be placed anywhere on your page as well as on top of anything.  Virtual image one can not be put over virtual image two, three or four, but virtual image four can be placed over three, two and one.  After you use it a while you will get the idea.  Any virtual image will cover up any other images, including any text, placed on your page in the normal manner.

Selecting an image to use:
All of the images available to be used as virtually positioned, are in the drop down list indicated by the number (5) in the above image.  There are 4 positions available (in this example) for naming in the drop down list indicated by the number (4) above.  The symbol will turn yellow once you select a different image or a different name selection.  The extra name selections always start out being named Virtual Image 2, Virtual Image 3, and Virtual Image 4 after the Equalhousing image.

Sizing a virtual image:
Before manipulating the position, you should set the size of the image.  Just move the slider (3) up or down.  When you do this the percent number will change and this is the size indicator.  100% would show the image exactly as large as it is.  If the size of the image is 200 x 175 pixels, it would be shown at that size at 100 percent.  At 50% it will be shown at 100 x 87 pixels.

Positioning a virtual image:
Once you have selected the image and updated the flyer with the new image data, you can begin the positioning process.  The Horizontal and Vertical position of the image is controlled by the sliders (6).  To make it easier to position the image, a checkbox (1) has been provided that displays positioning data (2).  The H Pos scrollbar is used to move an image from Right to Left.  The V Pos scrollbar is used to move and image up and down.  The position indicated by the Horizontal number and the Vertical number is a reference to the upper left corner of the image, not the center of the image.
