Hi Jeff,
Sure does, and interesting too.
I'm puzzled by this comment; do you mean that program used to decide the position of images? Otherwise it contradicts

All image and text alignment can be doe in the QU Page Editor of course.

Jeff,
I remember now  , you mentioned this app some time ago.
Well here is my effort attached with the steps I used - to encourage others to have a go if they were not quite sure what to do.
This is of a local landmark and a sack-cloth background I thought was appropriate for a subject that was once used to used to make flour
The steps used were:
•   Set Page size and place the background image in queue at size “fit to page”
•   Set page the Freehand Mode, use icon top right of page preview
•   Make sure background image is de-selected, hold right mouse button down to open Print Properties
•   Choose size for images that will be added onto background
•   Drag thumbnails to page to approximate position; NB. At this stage they may not appear on top of the background.
•   Click Queue tab, select background image and move to top of queue with arrow key. This will make sure the background is behind the other images.
        This can also be achieved in the Page Editor by using the right click menu and Send to Back.
•   Open Page Editor and adjust position of images as required using the Size/Location tab or by dragging. Add text as required. Close Page editor
•   Set Print to File and choose Set Current Printer Stats and Monitor/Web. Set resolution to obtain the desired image pixel size. OK and Print.

Hello

I know you have created Challenge 2 but I have not finished No. one yet!

I am struggling with an aspect of cut outs.

How do I get say an oval cut out to have a transparent background so that when placed on top of background image the background can be seen through the cut off area, I can get only black or white.

Yes, I have read all the manual and help files and have fiddled with the cut out file names, but I just do not get it.

Hi Jeff,
You cannot fade to a background image but you can fade (with a blurred type cutout) to the page colour which is set with the 3rd icon from the right under the page preview.
I don't know if fading to a background image is something that Mike can easily do or not, we could ask.
You can also fade from the image to a specific colour within the cutout by adding the colour RGB values, in square brackets to the cutout file name. Eg. fade-oval_3[231,227,210].tif.
Full details are in Help under Cutouts.

Just messing about
