Choosing and Optimizing Pictures for the ExpressDesign Wizard

If you wish to modify a picture before using it in the ExpressDesign Wizard, you will need to use a picture editor. If you have it available, use mySewnet™ PhotoStitch to adjust your picture, save it with a new name, then use the new picture in the ExpressDesign Wizard.

It is recommended to keep your original picture in case you wish to adjust it again with different options.
