1. Introduction
Welcome to the Album Template Editor for the Imaxel Kiosk Software module. The Album Editor will
let you create your own personalized products in order to optimize your kiosk business by adding new
functionalities and features. The new templates you’ll create can be easily added to the Station
Manager program which controls your kiosk in order to easily offer them to your end users.
WARNING: To add new products, you must have an open catalog which allows you to add and modify

Fixed Special Sheets: Front Page and Back Page. They have the same measures as normal sheets since
they’re internal sheets too.
Variable Special Sheets: Lining, Cover and Back Cover. Their measures can be different compared to
normal sheets. The size changes according to the number of internal sheets. The measure of the cover
and the lining will have the size of the normal sheet + minimum width of the spine (see page 16)

for variable spine begins to work automatically.
Variable spine formula = A + B*N
A: The cleft size (mm) of the spine.
B: The thickness (mm) of a normal sheet + the thickness (mm) of the cover.
N: It’s the number of sheets. Value used for N is always 1

 Imaxel Lab SL, 2005-2012 18
For example:
Cover width 593,50 mm
Cleft 2,50 mm
Cover & normal sheet thickness 0,50 mm
Minimum spine width 9,00 mm
Normal sheets Number Spine width (mm) Increase (mm) Final cover width (mm)
1 3 0 593,5
2 3,5 0 593,5

21 13 4 597,5
22 13,5 4,5 598
Before the page 13 the formula is not applied, since the minimum value has not been reached.
From the page 14 on, the final cover width increases by step.

 Imaxel Lab SL, 2005-2012 19
3.4 Ranges setup
In the same product album, you can setup several ranges of minimum and maximum sheets in order to
the end user could choose according to the number of photos selected or price.
If the template has a cover / lining and the spine width can be variable, you must enter the values in
Variable Spine screen (see page 16)

 Imaxel Lab SL, 2005-2012 20
 Click on Add when you want to create a new sheet range.
 Click on Edit to change any value of the sheet range.

3.5 Work Options
Here you can set the working mode of the template in order to:
 Work mode
 Framing mode
 Design options

 Imaxel Lab SL, 2005-2012 21
3.5.1 Work mode
 By selecting Only manual mode, the end user program will fill in the pages one after another.
 By selecting Only automatic mode, the program will trend to fill up as many pages as possible
according to the number of pictures selected by the end user and the maximum number of
pages defined. For example: The minimum number of pages is 3, and only three pictures have
been selected to create an album. In this case, the program will take one template containing
a single frame, and will repeat it three times. Anyway, the end user can re-edit the album later
on, and change the number of frames in each page.
 Select Automatic and Manual Modes, if you want that the end user can decide between
Automatic and Manual mode to compose an album.
 Select Express Mode to allow to the end user only a basic edition. The album will be composed
automatically, using the templates according to the number of photos and the sheets range
chosen.
3.5.2 Framing mode
Select the Framing Mode for the pictures. It applies to the pictures which are not proportional to the
frame to be put in.
 Fit: The photo is placed completely inside the frame. If the frame isn't proportional to the
photo, part of the frame can be blank.

 Imaxel Lab SL, 2005-2012 22
 Fill: The photo fills completely the frame, without blank areas. But if the frame is not
proportional, part of the photo will be cropped.
3.5.3 Design options
 Enable the template selection menu: To allow your customers to access the menu template
selection. For example, the template has different layouts, with this option the customer can
choose or change the layout.
 Disable the template selection menu: A typical example happens with the calendars to be
printed in several pages: select the Disable the template selection menu to avoid customers
changing templates and avoiding errors with the order of the pages.

4. Sheet Layout
The sheet layout window is divided in three working areas:
 Thumbnails: It shows the thumbnail of the sheets created and the quantity of photo frames
created.

 Imaxel Lab SL, 2005-2012 24
 Sheet: Composition work area.

 Imaxel Lab SL, 2005-2012 25
 Tasks: This panel shows the design and setup options frequently used in order to create a
composition. This panel is divided in three sections: Album sheets, Sheet Properties and Layer
Control.

 Imaxel Lab SL, 2005-2012 26
4.1 Tasks: Album sheets
4.1.1 Add and copy sheets
Add new sheets to the current album template. You can add new sheets, with the same size, or make
copies of the sheets created.
4.1.2 Set background colour
By default there’s no colour assigned to a background, so the Transparent option is showed. To set a
background colour Select a colour among three options showed (System, Web or Custom), or click on
More Colours to get a specific one.

 Imaxel Lab SL, 2005-2012 27

image editor like Photoshop, for example. The format file of the background image must be jpg or png
(if it contains transparency areas)

 Imaxel Lab SL, 2005-2012 28
4.1.4 Set background texture
This option allows you to apply a pattern image to the sheet. This pattern will repeat many times to fill
the background.
The advantage to use a pattern is that the image is smaller than a background image and therefore,
the template is not so heavy.
4.1.5 Add a clipart image
It allows you to add an image object that be set on any part of the composition. The clipart image can
be edited (sized and rotated) and moved over the sheet. The clipart will be located in an upper layer of
the sheet.

 Imaxel Lab SL, 2005-2012 29
4.1.6 Clear the sheet background

If this option is enable, the end user will be allowed to edit the template, change or resize the photo
frames and text frames (only in software online Image Desk)
4.2.3 Use in composition
This is a special option which gives special category to a sheet. When an automatic album is created,
sheets tagged as Use in Composition will have preference between of the rest the sheets.
4.2.4 Print this sheet always
If this option is enable, the sheet will be always printed even though no image has been inserted in the
sheet.
This feature is used, for example, in these cases:
 To leave a blank sheet in a concrete place of the album.
 To print a corporate logotype or a Copyright no matter which kind of album you’ll be making.
By default this option is disabled.
4.3 Tasks: Layer Control
The Layer control menu allows you to set useful options while you are designing the sheets. This
option is very important when you have several items display at the sheet, since it will allow you to
quickly edit it. Except the background, all other items of the composition have available two options:
Visible and Selectable.
4.3.1 Visible
Set whether the element is visible or not during the composition designing process.

 Imaxel Lab SL, 2005-2012 31
4.3.2 Selectable
Set whether the element is selectable or not during the composition designing process. This option is
useful when you want to edit items in lower levels shapes that are covered by other upper elements
which doesn’t allow you to select the desired item.
4.4 Working area
Frequently you may need some tools in order to design more accurately.
The rulers and zoom tool will help you with this:

the frame will have to be 4 mm (approx.) bigger on each side in order to avoid white strips around the
picture. The photo will be below the background.
 Click on Add frame below background

 Imaxel Lab SL, 2005-2012 37

means the image inserted will take the frame rotation angle.

 Imaxel Lab SL, 2005-2012 39
