| Background: You can add a background image of your own, this will not be able to be cropped and must be the same shape as the background (square etc) If you want a controllable background, drag out an image node the same size as the layout template, then insert your image. |
 |
| You can select a background we have provided under the templates button. This cannot be cropped or changed but you could use the opacity control to get a faded effect. |
 |
| Masks: You can use masks you have created in photoshop in a node or use one listed under the node button. The image will show thru the black areas of the mask.
Note: Drop shadows do not work well on nodes with masks. Don't use them with masks.
