How to Add Images to your design in the My Sister & i Product Designer
- Adding a Image to your Design
Our Design App offers 2 options for adding images to your design.
Option 1 – Add an image from your PC.
Option 2 – Choose a Image from the Pixabay image Library.
Both these options can be found under the Add image feature highlighted in the image below. - Adding an Image from your PC
Click the Add Image button. Then in the window that opens, Either drag and drop your image onto the block labeled ” Click or Drop Image here”, or click and navigate to your image and click open.
Uploaded images are given a rating(out of 3 stars), once uploaded to view your image rating hover over the image.
1 star is the minimum requirement for a fair print. If your image does not score even 1 star we’d suggest not using the image in your design as the image might print pixelated. The solid filled stars indicate the image star rating. - Pixabay Library
To use images from the Pixabay Library click the Pixabay Tab in the Add Image window. You can enter a search phrase or keyword into the search bar to filter the options to what you are looking for.
