  1. Do we adjust the size of the photos in photoshop and then upload them to the library?
    If so, what are the sizes and the placement of the square with respect to the columns to be used?
    Is there an easy, clear way to know if you’re doing it correctly?
    Thanks.

    • This technique will work on any kind of background image, no matter where the product is located, as long as you choose the matching column structure and use the column’s transform translate to reposition the column until the frame fits your product. You can also change the first Text Module’s spacing to increase the size of the frame that allows the background image to go through. No product background image is going to be the exact same so it’s a matter of playing around with these settings to get it right and get familiar with the different containers and their possibilities. Hope that helps! 🙂

  2. Thanks Donjetë, for another excellent tutorial! Love this one!

    • Happy you like it Desirée! 🙂
