New projects can be started either from a blank page or from an AutoCollage, which will randomly arrange a selection of images on your page which you can then edit and rearrange at will.
To start a new blank project from Start Zone, and select NEW or choose FILE >> New on the menu.
You will see a variety of frequently selected page sizes available for your particular license type:
| • | Scrapbook Essential users will only see options available for pages that do not exceed the single sheet 12x12" page (2000x2000 pixels) size limit of that license type. |
| • | Enhanced users will only see options available for pages that do not exceed the single sheet 13x19" page (3900x5700 pixels) size limit of that license type. |
| • | Extreme users will see all available options, including album two-page spreads with bleed & safe values. |
| • | YearbookFusion users may see a full range of options, but most likely will see only their manufacturer's preset sizes. This will eliminate the possibility of YearbookFusion users from creating projects that do not conform to their printer's recommended sizes. |
The image below shows the options for an Extreme user. Enhanced & Essentials users will not see album options.
Items displayed under the 
tab allow you to quickly select from among commonly-selected presets.
Extreme and Yearbook users will see items displaying a 
at the top of the diagram. This indicates an album project type, meaning that several page types are included under the one project descriptor.
Click on the arrow to choose a cover sheet, album side, or double page spread to choose what page type you would like to begin with. The other page options will be available to you immediately through the Pages hover when adding or resizing new pages.
For a full-range of presets, browse the options under the Generic and Manufacturer's tabs.

The Generic tab allows you to quickly browse among commonly-used page sizes, organized according to project type. Click on one of the options to see the available sizes. If you wish to create a custom size project not available on these lists, click the large CUSTOM option. You will be able to choose your canvas dimensions from the Create screen when the page opens (providing it is within your license limits). The Manufacturers tab will display a list of canvas sizes submitted to LumaPix by the companies themselves. |
If your preferred album company is not on this list you can ask your manufacturer to submit their page sizes to us. Please note: we can ONLY add manufacturers to our list at their specific request by an authorized representative of the company.
Users can select and add custom presets to FotoFusion. Choose the large CUSTOM button to start this process. The Canvas Settings editor will automatically launch. Learn more how the canvas size works in the user's manual section on Sizing & Resizing the Canvas.
You can also resize your project at any time during the creation process. Learn more in the user's manual section on Sizing & Resizing the Canvas.
What to do next
After making your canvas size selection, an empty canvas will be generated on the Create tab.
If you have chosen a new custom size, you will be able to enter your dimensions in to the Canvas Settings window at this point.
If you have chosen a preset size, then a blank canvas will appear.
You can then add images to your canvas in several different ways.
Having selected your images, drag them to the canvas and arrange them wherever you like, with the decorative features of your choice, such as borders and mattes, shadows, text, image retinting and correction, and canvas backgrounds.
Extreme and YearbookFusion users can add pages and manage their projects through the Pages hover.
