Hi,

I downloaded this version and I could not installed it.
After I deinstalled the old version 4 the new version was working.
Now it did not recognized the old version 4 collages, it only recognized the version 3 collages.

Sounds like you need to move your original photo database files since you un-installed the old one first.

To do this...
1. Open the following folder
c:program filesLumaPixFotoFusionV4Scraps !!DO NOT DELETE!!
2. Copy everything in there over to the following folder
My DocumentsMy CollagesProjects !!DO NOT DELETE!!
3. Start FotoFusion

You may see a "photo db error" so just click OK to rebuild and you should be fine.

You should always install new builds over existing ones to avoid issues like this.

Hi

The gridline is great, but it's only displayed in inches (canvas is in cm)...

> gridlines shown in inches only

whup. We'll fix it.

> how does text-to-matte work

note - this is an enhanced/extreme feature only

1. select an image
2. add child text to it (the text editor opens)
3. configure the text the way you like
4. click on 'convert to matte' in the text editor

The text is now a matte which is automatically applied to the frame selected in step 2.

Enjoy!

Hello

I still don't get it with the mate thing...

1. I select an Image
2. RMB / and select "Add Text to Frame"
3. Edit the text. The only button I see is wich has somthing to do with mates is to apply a mate to the text...

Maybe it is the child text, but how I add it?
