Multi-page Projects Management (Extreme, Yearbook only)

FotoFusion:: Extreme allows you to compose, print email and render multi-page projects.
Your work flow becomes considerably simpler when producing multipage album projects, as it eliminates the need to load and save individual pages for each page in the album.

Multi-page layouts allow you to achieve excellent narrative flow, minimize your computer's memory use, and easily edit your projects.

FotoFusion Extreme is bundled with six multipage wedding album templates, with additional albums available for purchase in the Marketplace. You can use multipage templates and resize and edit them to your tastes with your Extreme license.
YearbookFusion users can have access to a gallery of layouts to start their yearbook projects, available in the Quick Start list. (Please note: ONLY YearbookFusion users have access to these templates.)
 

New multi-page project can be made:

from scratch,
by using the AutoCollage Wizard,
using the AutoDuplicate feature,
or by loading a multi-page template.
 

To navigate through a multi-page project, use the PAGE UP or PAGE DOWN keys on your keyboard.
Hit Control+Home on your keyboard to go to the first page, or Control+End to go directly to the last page of the project.
 

 
The Pages Hover
To create or edit a multi-page project (other than creating a multi-page AutoCollage), click on the pages button hover.
Extreme and YearbookFusion users should see, by default, the Pages hover in the bottom hover dock.
If you do not see it, click the Add hover + icon next to any of the three hover docks to turn on your Pages Hover.  You can move the Pages hover anywhere on your canvas and change the shape of the hover window.
