Frequently Asked Questions
Can I crop images within QuickComposite?
Crop your images before importing them. While you can set size and aspect ratios within QuickComposite, it doesn’t support direct cropping or zooming inside the program.
Can I straighten the images that are loaded into QuickComposite?
Yes. Use the rotation settings in the theme configuration. Setting both values to 0 straightens the image placement.
My background isn’t loading into QuickComposite.
Ensure the Show Theme Configuration option is enabled. Then open your JPG background file. Save it as a custom design so you can reopen it more easily later. Refer to the QuickComposite guide for more information.
Can I offer a print of 8×10 for the composites?
Yes. The output size is controlled by the background image used. If you purchase QuickComposite, you’ll receive a set of free 5×7 and 8×10 background files to choose from.
