MaLa Background Question

<< < (2/2)

loadman:
The problem was the image did not seem to be set up properly. I also simplified the folder setup as that is just how I would do it. The folder name needs to match the layout name.
(Unless you change the settings as SWINDUS Indicated)

To get it to work I had to add it as a snap/title.. See pic

And I 'sent it to back' and changed it properties to darken it (so you had some Chance to see the text above it'

Thanks again everybody.  After disabling the folder \ layout option suggested by Swindus everything seems to be working perfectly now.  Also, looking at the example loadman provided I have seen how things are layered within the layout.  I've already made up 3-4 basic layouts that look great.  This frontend seems almost too easy now.  Combine this frontend with even moderate Adobe Photoshop experience and I can see some seriously cool layouts being put out (like gamecreature).  My free 30-day trial of photoshop runs out in about a week so I better get busy (or maybe I'll just buy it).

loadman:
Cool

Don't forget to 'share your work' and let us see how you did  :-)

I prefer to have that option on as it keeps my mala directory neat (no big deal either way). If you use that option the folder name (that you put artwork etc in) must match you layout name

If you are worried about your 30 day trial running out why don't you just download a free alternative?

I have found that GIMP does just about everything I need to do image manupulation.  It even opens Photoshop PSD files!

Thanks for the link.  I will definitly give that a try.  It's not like I'm a professional graphics artist or anything.
