CHANGING STICKER COLORS

All stickers come with a pre-defined color. A very powerful feature of Adorama’s Photo Book creation tool allows you to change stickers to any color you want. This gives you the flexibility of choosing the color that best matches your needs.

To change the color of a sticker you must first click on the object to select it. Then click on the color fill icon (See #1 below) on the orange toolbox bar above the work space. This will reveal a fill setting checkbox (See #2 below) that indicates whether a color fill will be applied to that sticker. If the fill is enabled, clicking on the fill color selector (See #3 below) will allow you to set the fill to any color.

When choosing a color, the mouse pointer will assume the shape of a dropper. This allows you to click on any part of your screen and choose that exact color. This is helpful when you want to choose a color that matches an element of a background or photo.

The example below shows three stickers applied to a page with a pink floral background. The ballerina silhouette on the left is in the sticker’s original color, black. The one on the right has been changed to pink with a 1 pixel dark purple drop shadow. The line underneath the dancers is a stretched rectangular sticker filled to the same pink as the ballerina on the right, which makes a nice trim for the page.

 When this feature is combined with the transparency setting, it allows for many powerful features such as colored overlays, or watermarking. E.g. Take a fleur-de-lis sticker, set it to brown and 85% transparency and apply it over a parchment background and it will look like a watermark on the paper.

Add texture to your project by setting a sticker to the same color as the background and adding a drop shadow can create a subtle outline. The example below shows a white sticker on a white background with a 1 pixel black drop shadow.
