Setting image locations and managing image paths in AlbumGen (specifically designed for creating stamp album pages) involves placing images onto shapes, positioning them, and managing the file paths for those images. Here is how to set and manage image locations: 1. Adding/Changing Images on a Shape
Add an Image: Click on the image icon from the palette, then left-click on your page to place it.
Set/Change the Image Location: Right-click on the shape (rectangle/stamp placeholder) and select Image.
Browse: In the dialog box, browse to the location on your computer where your image is saved and select it.
Import: You can also import images directly from EzStamp software if you have it.
2. Adjusting Image Paths for the AlbumIf you have moved images on your computer and need to update where AlbumGen looks for them (relinking):
Access Image Links: Use the functionality to adjust image link locations to view all current image references in your open album file.
Relink Images: Select a path from the dropdown list and enter a new path or use the Browse button to locate the new image folder.
Apply Changes: Click Apply to update the links for any paths where a new location was entered. 3. Positioning and Sizing Image Objects
Resize: Right-click on the image object and select Properties to set precise width and height in millimeters, rather than guessing with drag-to-size.
Align: Use the alignment tools on the main palette to quickly align objects (left, right, center) on the page.
If you are dealing with broken links after moving files, the Adjust Image Link Locations feature is the most efficient way to fix them, as noted in the AlbumGen manual. If you’d like, I can:
