Resizing your current project

 
Canvas Settings
Canvas settings allow you to make changes to the specific page size and guidelines of the current page, or all like-typed pages (eg. all 2-page spreads). Note: you can also open this window by double-clicking on the blue bar over the ruler's edge.

The Page information displays the currently selected page size and type, and dimensions.
 
Page Type: This drop-down list will show all page sizes available with your current form factor.
This may include only one option (for Essentials & Enhanced users), or several, such as cover sheets, album two-page spreads, sheets, etc (for Extreme and Yearbook users), depending on your license type.
Dimensions: If enabled, you can add custom dimensions and choose your units of measure. Click on the Get From>> button to choose from four settings (desktop wallpaper, email, printable area, and printable area centered), which will size your canvas based on your computer's particular settings.

Resizable: If checked, the canvas will display blue bars next to the ruler (top, left side). These can be dragged to resize the canvas dynamically.  If unchecked, your page will be unresizable from the canvas itself (ideal to prevent accidental enlargements).
(Orientation is currently disabled; this feature will be unlocked shortly.)

 
Form Factor: Change the form factor in use for the project, or click Manage to create new or edit existing form factors (see below). Choose Remove to type in your own custom sizes.

Printing Zones: If not predefined, you can choose a safe and bleed value, which can be applied to all four sides or individually to separate sides of your page.

Fit Frames: If you are using a template or have begun to design your page, you can choose to "Fit Frame.," When FotoFusion resizes  your current project to the new page size, all the existing frames on the canvas will resize to the new page specifications automatically.  Click on APPLY to resize your canvas.

Click on Apply to this Page set the new canvas settings to the current page. Apply to All... will allow you to specify which type of page should receive the new settings (eg. all two-page spreads).
 

 
Project Settings
Project Settings allow you to change the form factor (project type) as a whole for the entire project. This is particularly useful if you are resizing an entire multipage album project (Extreme, Yearbook only). The entire project will be resized simultaneously.
 
For instance, a hard cover 12x12 album project can be resized to a soft cover 8x8, with all page types conforming to the new settings simultaneously.

 
Project Type: Essentials and Enhanced users will only see "Sheet" available, as defined by these license types. Extreme and YearbookFusion users will be able to choose from among other option (Album, Specialty, Digital).

Manufacturer: Custom refers to your custom page size settings. Other available album manufacturers will be available (depending on your license type) from this list. Changing the manufacturer will change the range of available choices in Project Type and Product type.
 
Product: A list of available page sizes will be listed, dependent on your choices of Project type and Manufacturer.

Manage: To create a new custom form factor, click on Manage. See below for more details.

Once you have made your selection, click Apply.
If you are using a template or have begun to design your page, you can choose to "Fit Frames," meaning the existing frames on the canvas will resize to the new page specifications automatically.

Managing Form Factors
To edit existing form factors (if unlocked) or to create a new form factor (a custom preset), choose the Manage Form Factor option in the drop-down list. You can also click on the Manage button in either the Canvas Settings or Project Settings editors.

The Manage Form Factor editor enables you to edit existing form factors (if allowed) or to create new custom form factors.

Click on Create New Form Factor to enable all features. If you can also choose to build a new form factor based on an existing one: click on the Create New Form Factor from This One.

 
Resizing the canvas to fit the collage
If your page is resizable, you can resize it to exactly fit the images on the page. This can be done directly on the canvas.
Right-mouse click outside of the canvas, and choose Resize Canvas to Fit Collage.
 
This will crop or expand the canvas to hold all frames currently on the canvas without rearranging them.
